Mortal Mage

-

The sharp corner of the spirit stone kept rubbing and carving on the skull.

As the spirit stone passed by, the lines on the skull surface began to become clearer, and the dark bone became crystal clear, as if it was ignited, and gradually emitted a faint flame.

The bones inside the skull were solidified by the power of runes and began to become extremely hard.

At the same time, the naturally formed heart shape on the skull began to gradually become clear. The runes inside the heart were wrapped in a layer of deep flames, which seemed to contain endless power.

"boom"

When the last rune was carved, a flame exploded on the skull, enveloping the entire skull.

The flames burned fiercely, but did not burn the skull itself. Instead, they formed an indestructible shield on the surface of the skull, emitting strong spiritual fluctuations.

"Hoo ho ho..."

Zhang Mingxuan expected that flames might ignite on the skull after the runes were carved, but he did not expect the flames to be so intense.

He let go in a hurry, and the skull in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

"careful!"

Hua Yu shouted hurriedly and quickly lifted the skull in the air with two fingers.

But the floor paved with red fairy wood was still burnt black the moment the skull fell to the ground.

"Wow……"

Hua Yu showed her snow-white teeth. She quickly raised her hand and brought the wolf skull to her side. She stared at the skull with an obsessed look. Her pretty cherry mouth was wide enough to fit an egg. "Such a fine... magical instrument!"

As she finished speaking, she suddenly reacted and looked with horror at Zhang Mingxuan who was hiding outside the door in fear.

A mortal, holding a medium-grade spirit stone, rubbed a magical weapon with his bare hands.

She bowed slightly, arched her back quietly, and nodded imperceptibly.

She stared at the burning wolf skull with a horrified look, her pupils slowly dilated, and then with a slightly trembling voice, with a deep, gentle, and frightened look, she whispered to Zhang Mingxuan in an almost pleading voice, "Zhang... good man."

Her mind went blank and she couldn't even remember the name of the mortal in front of her.

"You...you...you still want a disciple?"

As she finished her words, her knees bent slightly.

If she could secretly have such a master who understands formations and is so generous, she would not only have no shortage of magic tools, but also spirit stones.

"That's not right."

At this moment, Zhang Mingxuan's mind was frantically recalling what went wrong with the rune structure and spiritual power structure he had carved.

Logically speaking, a fire rune drawn on the skull with a mid-grade spirit stone would at most be a small flame the size of a candle, and it would be impossible for it to ignite such a violent flame.

In fact, it was because he had no cultivation, so he could not feel the spiritual power in the space.

This world is the fairyland of the upper realm, full of spiritual energy, which is simply incomparable to the dead and silent world of Canglang Continent.

"Master."

Li Xucheng reminded softly.

"what?"

Zhang Mingxuan raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and responded; "What's wrong, Lao Li? Is this girl dissatisfied?"

"Cough cough..."

Li Xucheng coughed lightly, then leaned forward slightly and whispered, "My senior sister asked you if you can accept her as your disciple?"

"Why are you accepting another disciple?"

Zhang Mingxuan shook his head and moved his gaze from the empty wolf skull to Li Xucheng's face, and asked in confusion.

"My senior sister is the direct disciple of Elder Qing Leng of the Sword Sect, and is also the eldest disciple who guides the outer disciples in their cultivation."

Li Xucheng did not directly respond to Zhang Mingxuan's words, but introduced Hua Yu's identity to Zhang Mingxuan.

"Old Li, are you forcing this on me?"

Zhang Mingxuan raised his eyebrows slightly. He had always sneered at the idea of ​​accepting disciples.

As a master without any cultivation, I need my disciples to protect me everywhere. I feel a little frustrated about being an immortal.

Even if I accept a disciple, that will be a matter for the future.

He stood up and patted his shirt; "It's okay to make friends."

"Master, both sides have achieved their goals."

Li Xucheng looked at Zhang Mingxuan with almost pleading eyes.

This was a godsend opportunity. If he didn't accept Hua Yu as his disciple at this moment, as long as Zhang Mingxuan left the Sword Sect's tower in Xianzhou City, he was 100% sure that Hua Yu would immediately notify the entire Sword Sect to capture Zhang Mingxuan alive and bring him to the sect overnight, handing him over to Elder Qiao for interrogation.

At that time, the situation will be out of control.

"Master!"

Li Xucheng almost gritted his teeth and reminded him again that there were some things he couldn't say directly.

Hua Yu was ignorant, and his master was even more naive.

"The tower near the water, the silk threads forming a curtain, the big carriage with wheels."

Li Xucheng uttered three idioms.

He understood Hua Yu. He didn't understand a single word of the three idioms Hua Yu, but Zhang Mingxuan could definitely understand them.

After all, the master was the top scholar in the imperial examination of the Taicang Empire. Although the meaning of the poem was not straightforward, Zhang Mingxuan could probably understand it with his understanding.

Zhang Mingxuan rubbed his wrist, and looked at the expectant eyes on Hua Yu's pretty face, thinking about the meaning of Li Xucheng's words: Since Old Li didn't say it directly, there must be something I couldn't think of, so I will just accept this apprentice as he wishes and ask him later.

"it is good."

After thinking about it, he nodded slightly in response.

"Disciple Huayu! I pay my respects to the Master!"

Hua Yu clasped his fists and knelt down on both knees, performing the three-kneeling ceremony in front of Zhang Mingxuan.

At the same time, Li Xucheng quickly raised his hand and took the burning wolf skull.

Zhang Mingxuan suddenly reacted when he saw that Li Xucheng could also control the wolf skull. The spiritual energy in this world is vast. The runes he drew not only have to take into account the spiritual power in the spirit stone, but also the spiritual energy in the interface space. Only by combining these two factors can the ultimate power of the magic weapon be realized.

If that's the case, then everything makes sense.

He originally just wanted to draw an ordinary fire-based magic weapon. If the interface spiritual energy was taken into account, this magic weapon would not be so ordinary.

He lowered his head and looked down at Hua Yu who was kneeling in front of him.

Hua Yu's face was flushed and she kowtowed respectfully to each one.

"Snapped"

Zhang Mingxuan patted his forehead gently, thinking; A mortal rubbing a magic weapon with bare hands is probably a bit shocking to the world, so I must keep a low profile in the future. Fortunately, Li Xucheng, a disciple of the Sword Sect, was present today, and Hua Yu chose to worship me as his master instead of capturing me alive for interrogation. If I continue to reveal my edge in the future, I am afraid it will bring disaster upon myself.

After thinking about it, he made up his mind and respectfully helped Hua Yu up. "Nizi, I will definitely teach you carefully."
