C18 The Disappeared Chamber of Secrets

As Tann Duanwu said this, Shen Gong Qian stretched out his hand and patted on Tann Duanwu's shoulder as if he was comforting him.

Yung Yi instantly swallowed his saliva and felt extremely embarrassed. He finally understood why Rong Yaner was looking at Lord Director that way just now. It was because they had touched a sore spot of someone else.

However, his mood soon turned better. Wouldn't a sparsely populated academy be more advantageous for one to do things that were inconvenient for others to know? As for the success rate of refining talismans, it did not seem to have much to do with him at the moment. As long as he could find enough Level 8 Talisman Pattern and summon out the professor, he would have everything.

After some thought, he stretched out four fingers. "Then, right now, there are four in the Star Inquisition …"

Before he could finish his sentence, Rong Yaner grabbed his extended fingers, and then raised her right hand in front of Tann Duanwu. Her clear voice was as light as an oriole as she said, "That's not right. From today onwards, there will be five Star Seeking Academy students."

All of a sudden, Tann Duanwu's expression became strange, a bit surprised, and most of all, moved. Even the sockets of his eyes were now filled with a little wetness. He moved his fingers again and sighed for the fourth time. "After so many years, I've finally managed to get enough of a slap."

… ….

There were no less than ten palaces and houses in front of, behind and behind the gates. Although there were no seats locked, other than the Heavenly Star Hall, two nearby rooms, and the accompanying kitchen toilets, the rest of the houses were all covered in dust, looking lifeless and lifeless.

After sending off the five sisters, Yung Yi and Rong Yaner followed Tann Duanwu and walked around the courtyard. The mottled walls were covered with rattan leaves, so the original appearance of the house could no longer be seen.

Rong Yaner frowned as she looked at him, "Lord Director, even if there's no one here, you can't just leave like that right? Look at this house, it's about to collapse. "

Tann Duanwu scratched his head, and could only shake his head and smile bitterly: "Yan'er, I don't want to make it too ugly, but in order to renovate the house, someone has to be there. Usually, I'm the only principal here, and I have to report to Principal Shen often, but I don't have the time."

Only then did Yung Yi notice that from the moment he entered the door, there was not even a single person. This place was completely empty: "How did this happen? Didn't they say that there are still three senior brothers? "

"Yes, yes, but they all report to the main branch disciples. They usually stay at the main branch and only occasionally come over." Moreover, they were all students travelling through East Capital, so even if they weren't in the main courtyard, they would still have a home to return to. So, this is what you see here. " Tann Duanwu spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Huh?" Rong Yaner frowned with a bitter face. She grabbed Yung Yi's arm and said with a flustered look, "Then, there's no one here and it's so desolate. Isn't it scary at night?"

"Uh, a little." Although Tann Duanwu didn't want to scare away the new students, he could only tell the truth when faced with the obvious situation.

Yung Yi was also a little scared, but compared to Rong Yaner, his courage was much greater. Furthermore, this situation seemed to be beneficial for his hidden purpose.

"It doesn't matter, Lord Director is still here, right?" He comforted his sister.

"Uh, about this, actually, I'm also a local. I also have to go home at night."

"Ah?!"

A gust of cold wind blew across the courtyard, rustling the fresh grass leaves. A few miscellaneous branches on the wall swayed in the wind. From the corner of his eyes, it seemed as if some strange little person was jumping and swaying.

Yung Yi and Rong Yaner immediately grasped each other's arms. Looking around, it was as if the scene of a ghost singing in an empty room in the middle of the night had appeared in front of them. Rong Yaner's fingers were already starting to tremble.

"Eh? Aren't you a local as well? I thought you were going home tonight. " Seeing that the situation wasn't looking good, Tann Duanwu hurriedly interrupted their hallucinations. If this went on, the number of his students would probably return to three fingers.

"That's true. We are also students on the road!" The Rong Family siblings looked at each other and said at the same time.

Seeing that, Tann Duanwu secretly let out a sigh of relief.

The fear of the empty house was finally solved, and the three of them continued to walk towards the inner courtyard. As Yung Yi had stated that he came to Star Inquisition Courtyard for Hu Zheng's sake, Hu Zheng's old dwelling always had to be brought over for him to see.

In the rugged gravel path, weeds extended through the cracks, extending all the way inside. After walking a hundred steps, they passed through a dilapidated arch, and then a quiet courtyard appeared before their eyes.

As they entered the courtyard, Yung Yi and his sister were both stunned. This was because outside the gate, the atmosphere was very different.

There was no one living here and it had been empty for a long time, but there was no sense of desolation or desolation. The grey paint on the walls and the wood on the windows all looked as if they were new.

The two branches by the door also seemed to have been pruned. The flowers that had just fallen were still fragrance drifting on the ground.

"This is Senior Hu Zheng's secret room?"

Yung Yi probed. In his opinion, this place didn't seem like a forbidden area no matter how he looked at it.

"Of course not. This is only Hu Zheng's residence back then. His secret room is somewhere else."

Tann Duanwu pushed open the door made of yellow zhennan wood and entered first. He explained: "It looks very new here, but I didn't take care of it. In the past, before Hu Zheng Xian passed away, he used four level eight Talisman Pattern to make a Circulatory Magic Formation, setting the time limit of all the items here to one base point. Every three months, they would be sent back to that base point. So it looks like they're new. "

Yung Yi and Rong Yaner looked at each other and opened their eyes at the same time.

"Senior Hu Zheng is indeed blessed, to have such a unique skill!" If I were to use this formation on a human, wouldn't that mean I can live forever? "

"How could it be that easy?" Tann Duanwu shook his head. "This formation is indeed magical, but it can only be used on inanimate objects. It has no effect on living people or animals."

Yung Yi was a little disappointed, but he believed that immortality was a heaven-defying journey. If he could do it with just a few Level 8 Talisman Pattern, then longevity would be too cheap. The moment of loss quickly faded away.

However, Rong Yaner could not remain calm. The moment she heard these words, she immediately thought about whether she could use this Magic Formation to help Yung Yi delay his life, and thought that if she stayed in this Magic Formation for three months and a cycle, never to reach the end of her twenty-seven year old life, then no matter how powerful the Blood Lotus Demonic Seed was, it would still be unable to do anything to her. Then his little brother wouldn't have to die.

He could even marry that little Demon Queen first. Not only did he remove the demon's body, he could also protect Yung Yi while he was alive. Wouldn't that mean that both of them were equally beautiful and had even paid back the debt his father owed him?

Thinking about the way to remove the Purple Lotus Demon Body, Rong Yaner's face reddened for a moment as her mind raced.

Unfortunately, this hope was shattered so quickly.

"Also, the age of this Magic Formation is not permanent, because the energy required to create it is limited. The moment the energy of the Talisman Pattern is used up, the array formation will disperse and everything inside will instantly turn to ash."

"Then how long is the time limit?"

"No one knows yet because the creator of this Magic Formation is Senior Hu Zheng. This Magic Formation is also the only one, and it is currently still in operation. There are no signs of it decreasing."

At the same time Yung Yi nodded, he suddenly had a thought. According to the professor, for everything in the world to function, there was no way to use Talisman Wheel s to perform extrapolations and modifications. This Magic Formation should be no exception.

If he were to use the Talisman Wheel's rules to perfect it, perhaps it could be used on humans …

Yung Yi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

No, he couldn't hold it in anymore. He couldn't wait to drag the professor out and interrogate him.

"Elder Hu, did you leave any of your level eight Talisman Pattern for me to search for? you won't let me try my luck in the Imperial Palace's inner court, right? " he thought.

Tann Duanwu continued to explain the history of the various items in the room. The furnace, medicine dish, and a few strange magic tools, as well as a lot of low level Talisman Pattern were placed in different locations, and all of them had a signboard that indicated the name of the item. Only there were no books. Tann Duanwu gave an explanation, and all of them were taken back by the academy to be used as teaching materials.

Yung Yi understood that this was the predecessor's exhibition hall that Star Inquisition Courtyard had always used to educate and motivate the students in the institution. Just that miraculous Circulatory Magic Formation was enough to ignite the unparalleled passion of a student cultivating refining techniques. Yung Yi had a deep understanding of this.

"Then, Lord Director, where is Senior Hu Zheng's secret chamber?"

After Yung Yi received his college history education, he started to ask the questions he was most concerned about.

"Actually, I don't know either."

"What?"

The air suddenly froze.

It was not easy for him to overcome all the obstacles and enter the Star Inquisition Courtyard. He thought that he was only one step away from the secret room of Hu Zheng, but Tann Duanwu actually did not know where he was.

He was the dean.

Rong Yaner shouted his words out loud almost as if nothing had happened.

"You're the dean, how could I not know?"

Tann Duanwu sighed lightly: "It sounds unreasonable, but it's the truth. Senior Hu Zheng's secret chamber appeared a few hundred years ago and was sealed off a few hundred years ago. When I became the principal, not even a shadow could be seen. Not only can't you see it, there aren't even any records of what happened that year. If not for the rumors spread by the disciples in the courtyard, I would even suspect that this secret room really exists. "

Disappointed, Yung Yi suddenly remembered that in all the miscellaneous books, there was this small space that was independent from the real world. This sort of space was mostly controlled by some peerless experts and was used as a cultivation cave. For a supreme elder like Hu Zheng to possess such a small space, it shouldn't be a surprise.
