After returning to the Ze Tian Palace and meeting with Qin Yin, Chu Yao, Feng Jixing and the others, Lin Muyu immediately returned to the Temple. His entire mind was focused on the engraving technique of the Fuxi Heavenly Book. He could not wait any longer.
… …
According to his orders, the Temple had already prepared a large number of shields and placed them in the Head Deacon's office.
Lin Muyu did not feel tired. After sitting down, he took out a carving knife and opened the Fuxi Heavenly Book. Immediately, the golden book shone with a dazzling light, even brighter than the candlelight at the side.
He gently circulated his strength in his palm, and immediately, a thin King's Battle Flame circled around the exquisite carving knife. This was an engraving technique recorded in the Fuxi Heavenly Book. It used one's own Qi and Battle Qi to concentrate on the carving knife. In reality, it was not the carving knife that cut the object, but the engraver's own strength. This way, the engraving and the user's compatibility would increase.
However, it was easier said than done. Lin Muyu's King's Battle Flame was too overbearing and forceful. In just an hour, he had continuously carved three shields.
Fortunately, the Temple and the Purple Flower Chamber of Commerce had money, so they could still afford it.
"Take it slow, don't rush."
He silently said to himself, his forehead full of sweat. In his heart, he silently recited the mental cultivation method recorded in the Fuxi Heavenly Book. Immediately, the speed of the fiery red Dou Qi revolving on the carving knife's edge also gradually slowed down along with his state of mind. "Sha sha" unceasingly carved on the shield, piles of iron shavings one after another fell to the ground.
But this time, he still failed.
The lines of the Solid Rock Seal were too complicated. One mistake would lead to failure. Looking at the dim Solid Rock Seal, Lin Muyu could not help but feel lonely. However, he was not discouraged and continued to work hard.
It wasn't until the rooster crowed in the morning that a ray of light finally appeared on one of the shields. This time, the engraving was successful. After an entire night of engraving, there was only one shield that was successful!
However, just as Lin Muyu was about to use the Testing Crystal to test the Perfection Level, she was shocked. The number on the Testing Crystal kept jumping, and finally stopped at 94. Heavens, the first successful Rank 2 Monolith Seal was 94% Perfection Level. Wasn't this a little too shocking?
…
In an instant, the blood in his heart started to boil. He couldn't care about anything else and continued to carve!
As if stepping into a new realm, the carving knife in Lin Muyu's hand became smooth. Lin Muyu had already mastered the engraving method recorded in Fuxi's Heavenly Book. Let's call it the Fuxi Technique for now. The carving knife in his hands had gradually become an art. With the rustling of iron shavings, the second Solid Rock Seal was successfully engraved!
As expected, with the first time, the second time would be easy!
After testing, it was 95% Perfection Level!
Lin Muyu's blood was completely boiling. How could he still be sleepy at this time! He immediately took a new shield and started carving the Soaring Seal according to the Rank 3 Engraving Manual recorded in Fuxi's Heavenly Book!
As expected, he broke more than 10 shields in a row.
All the way until noon, when Lin Muyu was getting more and more familiar with the Soaring Seal, she finally managed to inscribe the first Soaring Seal. It was a perfect 92%, another stunning masterpiece!
Looking at the number on the Testing Crystal, he was in disbelief. Could it be that Fuxi's engraving method was really that amazing? It was over 90% Perfection Level!
Thus, after carving three more Soaring Seals with 90% Perfection Level, he finally believed that this Fuxi's Heavenly Book was indeed a Heavenly Book. It was simply incomparable!
…
Don't eat or sleep, strike while the iron is hot! He continued to study the Rank 4 Engraving Seal – Absolute Devil Seal!
The Absolute Devil Seal was a type of high-level defense system engraving. When engraved on a shield, it could defend against normal attacks from swords and bows. However, it required a Mysterious Crystal to be embedded in it. Fortunately, there were Mysterious Crystals in the Holy Hall. There were more than 10 Mysterious Crystals for him to use!
Moreover, the Absolute Devil Seal's engraving was more complicated than the Soaring Seal. It could even be said to be ever-changing. Even the Engraving Manual in Fuxi's Heavenly Book was very blurry. High-level engraving was ever-changing. Each stroke was not fixed. Only when the engraver's state of mind was in harmony with the engraving and the spiritual sense of heaven and earth could the engraving be successful.
In the end, when it was late at night, not a single one was successful.
Lin Muyu was not discouraged. There was not much battle energy left in her body and her stomach was rumbling with hunger. However, if she did not carve a successful product, she would not be able to eat.
Just as she completed half of the Absolute Devil Seal, a response came from the Array. Instantly, Lin Muyu was overjoyed. The Array seemed to have a life of its own as it guided Lin Muyu's next carving. Not long after, a perfect circular engraving appeared on the shield. When the Mysterious Crystal was embedded in it, a bright light burst out. The first Rank 4 engraving was a success!
Lin Muyu was so excited that she almost fainted.
Rank 4 engraving!
The number on the Testing Crystal kept jumping and finally stopped – 97%!
This time, she was really going to faint. A 97% perfect Absolute Devil Seal. If she took it out, it would definitely scare those arrogant engravers like Wei Miao to death!
According to the ranking of engravers, with Lin Muyu's ability to carve a 97% perfect Absolute Devil Seal, she was probably a Master Engraver. It was like a dream. A Fuxi's Heavenly Book actually allowed her to transform from a novice engraver to a Master Engraver in one day and one night!
At this time, a conversation between Feng Jixing and Bai Yin could be heard from outside. Feng Jixing said, "Yu didn't go out for the whole day?"
"Yes, after the commander came back, he locked himself in his office to practice engraving. I don't know if he starved to death," Bai Yin said.
Feng Jixing was a little displeased. "You should at least send the food in. What are you doing as a personal guard? If you starve Ah-Yu, the commander of the Empire, to death, I'll immediately catch you like a thief."
Bai Yin was shocked. "General Feng, you can't just arrest people indiscriminately. I'm innocent."
"Stop talking nonsense. Knock on the door."
"Yes!"
Before Bai Yin could knock on the door, Lin Muyu had already opened the door. She smiled tiredly. "Brother Feng, you're here?"
"Yu, you …"
Feng Jixing looked at him in shock. He then darted into the office and looked around. However, he couldn't find what he was looking for.
"Brother Feng, what are you looking for?" Lin Muyu was stunned.
Feng Jixing said, "Looking for a woman."
"Why would there be a woman in my office!"
"Hmph, if you didn't keep seven or eight women in your office, how would you become so decadent? I feel like you've been hollowed out!" Feng Jixing was a little distressed. "Did you send the women away? At least leave one for Brother Feng. I'm not a brother!"
Lin Muyu wanted to die. "What are you thinking about? I've just been engraving for too long. My stamina and battle energy are almost used up."
"You're too hardworking, kid."
Feng Jixing looked at the shields in the room and couldn't help but sigh. Geniuses weren't born. Although Lin Muyu was talented, he had put in more sweat and effort than others.
"Bai Yin, tell them to prepare the food and send it over immediately."
"Yes, General Feng!"
…
Lin Muyu returned to her seat and smiled. "Brother Feng, you didn't come here just for supper, right?"
"Of course not." Feng Jixing touched his nose and said with a smile, "Yu, the Heavenly Book Pavilion is about to be rebuilt. You should know about this, right?"
"Yes, I know."
"Do you know about the people from the four big families?"
"The four big families?" Lin Muyu was stunned.
Feng Jixing nodded. "Yes, Prince Zhong's Mansion, Ouyang's Mansion, Ji's Mansion, and Liu's Mansion. The masters of these four families can engrave the Heavenly Book above the Earthly Book. They are known as the four big families in Lanyan City. Now the people from these four big families have established themselves in Lanyan City. His Highness has rewarded them with a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry.
"What does Brother Feng mean?"
"The Heavenly Book." Feng Jixing's expression darkened. "The Heavenly Book is a kind of divine power engraved on weapons, shields, and armors that can trigger the power of heaven and earth. After the opening of the Heavenly Imperial Gate, the Heavenly Books on the continent that have been silent for many years have awakened one after another. The pattern of the war in the future will also change greatly. As the commander of an army, we must build a good relationship with the four big families so that we can get enough Heavenly Book weapons, shields, and so on from them. I'm afraid that the war in the future will not only depend on wisdom, but also the power of the Heavenly Book."
Lin Muyu shook her head. "I just returned to Lanyan City, so I don't know anything about the Heavenly Book for the time being."
Feng Jixing smiled. "You're too focused on your own cultivation. These four big families have become the existences that the nobles of Lanyan City are fighting to curry favor with. Although we don't have to curry favor with them, we must not offend them. Otherwise, if they don't give us the Heavenly Book in the future, the combat power of the Longdan Army Camp and the Imperial Army will be greatly lower than the other armies."
As he spoke, Feng Jixing took a deep look at Lin Muyu and said, "Both Duke Yun and Duke Lan are trying their best to rope in talents from all sides. We have to be careful. Also, in half a month, the first Heavenly Book selection examination will be held in the Heavenly Book Pavilion. If you're interested, you can also learn to engrave the Heavenly Book. This thing … is far more useful than engraving!"
"Got it."
Lin Muyu smiled brightly and said, "If there's a chance, I'll understand what the Heavenly Book is all about. Don't worry, Brother Feng. I'll learn the Heavenly Book after I've engraved Level 7. Oh right, I have a copy of the Vajra Protection Technique here. Take it and cultivate it. Remember to burn it after you've memorized it. Don't pass it on to too many outsiders.
"Oh, there's such a good thing?" Feng Jixing smiled faintly.
"I'm not giving it to you for free."
Lin Muyu smiled. "I'll give you the Vajra Protection Technique, and you owe me five weapons that contain the spiritual power of the Heavenly Book. How about that?"
Feng Jixing held his forehead and smiled. "Good lad, you're really stingy! Alright, alright, I promise you! "
… …
If all of Feng Jixing's martial arts were offensive, even his Purple Electric Flame Wolf was an offensive martial spirit. In reality, his need for the Vajra Protection Technique was much stronger than Lin Muyu's. Holding the martial manual in his hand, Feng Jixing's heart was filled with mixed feelings. His big brother seemed to be relying more and more on Lin Muyu's ability. How could he endure this? He could only collect more Heavenly Books to compensate Lin Muyu.
