Reborn as a Snake: Forging a Demon Court Starting from a Black Python

Chapter 132 Master, I haven't gotten on the bus yet!

Qingyangzi raised an eyebrow slightly, a look of surprise on his face, and stared at Lin Xuan for a while.

He had mastered the clone technique for a long time but had never shown it before. How did Mingyue know about it?

However, he didn't say much, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"Very well, since you are so devoted to the Dao, I will grant your wish."

As he spoke, Qingyangzi stood up, walked into another room, rummaged around inside for a moment, and then came out holding a jade slip in his hand.

Qingyangzi placed the jade slip on the table and said to Lin Xuan:

"Mingyue, I will pass on this magic to you. You must practice it diligently and not be negligent."

"After I emerge from seclusion, I will test you again. If your cultivation is not up to par by then, I will be angry."

Qingyangzi spoke very earnestly, as if he were admonishing Lin Xuan.

Upon hearing this, Mingxin sighed inwardly, thinking that her master was putting on a complete act.

Even though he was about to run away, he still couldn't resist deceiving Lin Xuan.

After giving Lin Xuan a few instructions, Qingyangzi looked at Mingxin.

"Mingxin, you are Mingyue's senior brother, so take him down first and tell him some secrets of cultivating magic."

"Come see me later, I have something to tell you."

Mingxin nodded silently after hearing this, realizing that this was a secret signal from his master.

Mingyue is a complete novice, having just entered the field and not even having cultivated the most basic magical power.

If you just throw a supernatural power at him like that, he'll definitely not understand how to cultivate it, and then he'll have to come back to his master to ask questions, which will be a hassle.

Why not just have yourself step forward and spout some profound and mysterious Taoist teachings to fool him for now?

Anyway, it doesn't need to last too long. As long as we can fool around for three to five days, everything will be fine.

As for Qingyangzi's last sentence, it was clearly an explanation of the time.

"It seems my master is leaving tonight, so I can't delay his business."

Thinking of this, Mingxin immediately nodded and cupped his hands, saying, "Master, rest assured, this disciple will definitely answer your questions diligently."

"I'll come back to you as soon as I've finished explaining things to my junior brother."

After saying this, Mingxin pulled Lin Xuan out of the house. They had only taken a few steps when she asked Lin Xuan:

"Junior brother, have you ever read any of our Taoist classics before?"

Lin Xuan had indeed read it; in his previous life's game, some dungeons contained puzzles related to Taoist classics.

As a professional game booster, Lin Xuan naturally had to do some research.

While I wouldn't call myself an expert, I am certainly well-read.

"I know a little, I know a little," Lin Xuan said earnestly.

Mingxin secretly curled her lip, not believing it at all, and thought Lin Xuan was just bragging.

But he didn't pursue the matter further, and said with a smile, "That's good. Since you, junior brother, have some knowledge of the classics, it saves me the trouble of explaining."

"We humans are the protagonists of heaven and earth. Although we don't possess innate supernatural powers like those demonic beasts, we still have our own advantages."

"That means their cultivation speed is extremely fast!"

"Even the most dull-witted mortal can cultivate magical power within three to five years, as long as he has a master to guide him."

"Junior brother, you are exceptionally talented. I imagine you will succeed in just a few days, and then you can use your magical power to cultivate the clone technique."

Mingxin's gaze swept over the jade slip in Lin Xuan's hand, and she really wanted to find an excuse to borrow it from Lin Xuan to take a look.

However, after thinking it over, he suppressed the idea and didn't want to cause any further trouble.

The master even told me about running away, so he must already consider me a confidant.

The ability to create clones is precious, but there will be plenty of opportunities to learn it in the future.

If we can't help but ask Mingyue for it now, and it arouses the boy's suspicion, that would be worse.

Mingxin coughed twice and told Lin Xuan the names of several volumes of scriptures.

"Junior brother, if you have any doubts or cannot understand the contents of the jade slip, you can consult these scriptures."

"Study it carefully several times and think about it repeatedly, and you will surely gain something. I believe in your talent."

"Of course, if you really don't understand, you can come and find me, and I will explain it to you."

Mingxin used a provocation tactic.

Lin Xuan chuckled inwardly, but a serious expression appeared on his face as he raised his head and said:

"Don't worry, senior brother. I can learn a mere clone technique in a few glances. Why would I need your help?"

Mingxin thought Lin Xuan was just bragging and almost lost her composure.

He suppressed a laugh, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

At first, Mingxin walked very slowly, but after walking several dozen steps, he guessed that Lin Xuan had already started studying the jade slip and was no longer paying attention to him, so he quickened his pace.

"My master will be leaving soon, so I need to hurry back and take all my silver with me."

"Luckily, I spent a lot of money to buy a storage bag a few days ago, otherwise it would have been a real hassle to take all that silver with me!"

Mingxin muttered to herself, walking faster and faster until she finally started jogging.

Along the way, many servants and other fellow disciples were curious when they saw Mingxin jogging.

No matter how puzzled the servants were, they didn't dare to come over and talk to them; they could only huddle together and whisper among themselves.

However, his fellow disciples did not have this concern.

Two young Taoist priests approached and stopped Mingxin, asking, "Senior Brother, why are you running? Has something urgent happened?"

Mingxin, of course, would not reveal the truth.

Qingyangzi's plan to flee is a matter of great importance; once the news spreads, it will cause a huge uproar.

At that time, Qingyangzi won't be able to escape.

Mingxin pursed her lips, forcing a pained expression, and said in a trembling voice, "What could be so urgent? I just accidentally ate something bad this morning."

"I just stood up high up for the apprentice-acceptance ceremony and got a bellyful of cold wind. I... I can't take it anymore, I'm not talking to you guys anymore!"

Mingxin said no more and quickened his pace to run past the Taoist priests.

These words indeed fooled those people.

Several Taoist priests stared at Mingxin's retreating figure, mocking and gossiping.

"This guy always said he was favored by his master and had been taught many magical arts, but now it seems that was all a lie!"

"Of course! He can't even fix a stomachache, what kind of magic does he know!"

With no one causing trouble anymore, Mingxin sped up.

Soon after, he ran back to his room, took out a brightly colored storage bag, and went to a treasure chest.

He had already sorted out all the gold, silver and valuables last night, but hadn't put them into his storage bag yet.

It wasn't that he hadn't made up his mind yet; it was simply that his storage bag was too rudimentary.

As long as you store things inside, it will continuously consume your mana.

His magical power was too weak to withstand such a drain.

Mingxin took a deep breath, turned the storage bag around, and positioned the opening downwards.

A surge of magical power rose from his dantian and flowed into his storage bag.

The next moment, the opening of the storage bag suddenly opened wide, like the gaping maw of a monster, swallowing everything inside the box.

"call!"

Mingxin let out a heavy sigh, sweat beading on his forehead.

Just putting these things into storage bags consumed a lot of his energy.

The magical power in his dantian was constantly slipping away, making him feel uncertain.

"I need to go find my master right away."

Mingxin didn't dare to hesitate, rushed out of the room, and headed straight for Qingyangzi's house.

Standing at the door, he called out, "Master, I've packed my things, we can go now!"

He waited a moment and, finding that Qingyangzi did not answer, called out a few more times.

"Master? Master?"

After a few breaths, Mingxin realized something was wrong and simply went into the room.

I was stunned as soon as I entered the room. It was completely empty, as if it had been ransacked, with all the furniture gone.

"Driver, you...you're walking so fast? I haven't even gotten on the bus yet!"
