Chapter 148: Paralysis

Not long after, Qin Mu selected the second volume of scriptures. This volume was called the Soul-pulling Sutra, which could draw the souls of the dead out of the underworld, and could also allow the person who performed the ritual to enter the underworld.

The reason for choosing Soul-pulling is mainly because there are too few spells involving this aspect in Tianlu Tower.

Qin Mu wondered if he could develop this idea, would he be able to summon the soul of a person who had just died and bring him back to life?

Then he chose the Hongshan School's runes to summon ghosts and gods. The Hongshan School's magic was also very unique. It could use runes to borrow the power of ghosts and gods, which made him feel that it seemed to have something in common with the art of painting.

He only selected three volumes of scriptures. There was no point in selecting more. He already had quite a few techniques to practice, and there were also countless techniques and methods in the Dayu Tianmo Sutra, which would require him to spend time comprehending them. There was no need to select too many.

Qin Mu brought three volumes of scriptures to see the secretary, who registered the scriptures and book plates before allowing him to leave Tianlu Tower.

Two days later, the emperor's appointment edict came down, appointing Qin Mu as a doctor of the Imperial Academy, with an official rank of sixth grade, and allowed to go to the third floor of Tianlu Tower, without being subject to the control of the Imperial Academy.

In front of the gate of Taixue Academy, Bashan Jijiu stood there waiting. After a while, the second prince Ling Yushu came, dragging the somewhat reluctant Ling Yuxiu.

"Seventh sister, it will definitely be better for you to practice with Bashan Jiji than in Taixue Academy."

Ling Yushu smiled and said, "Bashan Jijiu is a leader-level existence, far superior to other imperial academies. I envy him so much that I wish I could be his disciple. Don't hesitate! You are my biological sister, born from the same mother, how could I harm you?"

Next to the mountain gate, a sturdy blue bull stood like a human, teasing the dragon Qilin guarding the mountain gate, sometimes pulling out a dragon whisker, sometimes touching the Qilin's tail.

"Hey, sister, when are you going to go out with me?"

The green ox leaned against the mountain gate, holding a peony in its mouth, and laughed: "Sister, what fun is it for you to stay here every day? I will take you out to the colorful world, and I guarantee you will have fun! Do you think my flower is beautiful? I'll give it to you to eat..."

Long Qilin suppressed his anger, glanced at Bashan Jijiu who was not far away, and suppressed the urge to turn against him and eat the green bull.

"Teacher Bashan, when are you leaving?" Ling Yushu asked.

Bashan Jiji looked up at the mountain and said, "We still have to wait for one more person. He should be coming down by now."

Ling Yushu looked at his sister beside him, feeling somewhat proud: "Fortunately, I was smart, otherwise if my seventh sister stayed on the mountain, she would have been unable to stop causing trouble with that abandoned person from Daxu. Now that they are separated far away, he will not have this opportunity."

Ling Yuxiu was his sister from the same father and mother, so he naturally cared about her very much. In his eyes, other princes and princesses were just competitors, but Ling Yuxiu was his closest sister, and he would not give a bad person any chance.

Ling Yushu was just thinking about it when he looked up and saw a young man walking down the mountain. He was carrying a lot of things on his back, such as an axe, a butcher knife, a bamboo stick, and a big bag, on which a white fox was squatting.

"This kid looks like he's fleeing from famine. Is he planning to go down the mountain to escape?" Ling Yushu thought to himself.

Bashan Jiji finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qin Mu, and said with a smile: "Everyone is here!"

Ling Yushu shuddered, looked at Bashan Jijiu, and stammered, "Is he the person you are waiting for, teacher?"

Bashan Jijiu nodded, shattering the last remaining fantasy in his heart.

Ling Yuxiu was overjoyed, looking at her confused brother with a smug look on her face. Of course, she couldn't hide her brother's little thoughts from her.

Ling Yushu was hesitant and wanted to ask Bashan Jijiu if he could drop out of school, but he didn't know how to open the mouth.

"Teacher Bashan, can I also practice with you?" Ling Yushu still didn't give up and asked hurriedly.

Bashan Jiji shook his head and said, "Second Prince, your cultivation is too high. You have already reached the Seven Star Realm. You are also old and your path is already fixed. I cannot teach you. Don't worry, the Seventh Princess will not suffer any loss from me. Go back."

Ling Yushu was reluctant to leave and stood there looking at Qin Mu viciously.

Qin Mu wondered how he had offended the prince.

Bashan Jiji said in a deep voice: "Since everyone is here, let's set off!"

Qin Mu hurriedly said: "Teacher, wait a moment!"

Bashan Jijiu stopped and looked back. Qin Mu walked up to the dragon unicorn. The extremely strong blue bull quickly stepped back and stared at him cautiously.

Qin Mu ignored him, held his breath, took out a small jade bottle, unscrewed the stopper and placed it under Long Qilin's nose. The Long Qilin was immediately paralyzed and fell to the ground.

The big blue ox quickly jumped far away and looked at him in horror.

Qin Mu put the cork in the bottle tightly, and the little fox raised a gust of wind to blow away the strange fragrance from the bottle mouth. Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Hu Ling'er took out another bottle from her bag and handed it to Qin Mu. Qin Mu opened the bottle, and a choking sour smell came out, and then poured the liquid in the bottle into Long Qilin's mouth.

That was the juice squeezed from lemon. Although Long Qilin was paralyzed and unable to move, his tongue couldn't help but secrete saliva when it tasted the sour taste of lemon.

Hu Ling'er hurriedly took out jade bottles from her bag. Qin Mu took them and put them at the corners of Long Qilin's mouth to collect saliva. After collecting more than ten bottles, the dragon Qilin's saliva was almost gone and finally stopped drooling.

Qin Mu stood up and said with a smile: "Teacher, Sister Xiu, we can set off now."

Bashan Jiji glanced at the paralyzed Long Qilin and asked curiously, "Why are you taking the ambergris?"

Qin Mu explained: "This is a miraculous medicine for treating external injuries. If you encounter a knife or sword wound, applying it to the wound will make the dead flesh grow new flesh and the bad skin slough off. It is inevitable that there will be some injuries during this training trip, so it is better to prepare more for any eventuality."

Bashan Jijiu's heart was slightly moved. Qin Mu's move was probably not only to deal with the injuries incurred on the way, but also to connect the butcher's lower body and restore the butcher's body to its original state.

Qin Mu asked again: "Teacher, can you lend me your blue ox?"

Qingniu said alertly: "Don't mess around! I have become a brother and sister with your Ling'er. If you try to eat me, my sister will fight you to the death! Right, Sister Ling'er?"

Hu Ling'er was very proud: "He got drunk and became my sworn brother."

Qin Mu smiled and said, "I just asked you to help me carry my bag. Look how nervous you are. By the way, I just checked. It's a male dragon unicorn."

The blue ox was like being bombarded by thunderbolts for thirty times. Mu was stunned and lost his soul. He suddenly burst into tears. Hu Linger stepped forward to comfort him: "It's okay, it's okay. Male and female are the same. He has never liked you anyway. Besides, if he liked you, you would be in a worse situation."

Bashan Jiji shook his head and took them out of Taixue Academy and out of the capital.

The blue ox suddenly crawled down and let out a dull roar from its throat. Then the body under the cowhide began to bang, its bones grew rapidly, its muscles vibrated outward, and its fur grew wildly.

When he stood up, his body was as tall as two or three people. Now that his true form was revealed, he was even taller than before, more than ten times larger. His hands had turned into cow hooves, smoke was spewing out of his nostrils, and wind was blowing from the soles of his feet.

Bashan Jiji asked Qin Mu and Ling Yuxiu to climb on the ox's back and put their luggage on it.

"Second Prince, don't send me off anymore, go back!"

Bashan Jiji looked at Ling Yushu who had escorted them out of the capital and said with a smile, "It'll be fine, go back!"

Ling Yushu made a bitter face and waved to Ling Yuxiu. Ling Yuxiu was talking to Qin Mu. Qin Mu, the stupid boy, said something and Ling Yuxiu started to giggle and punched the boy in the chest.

Ling Yushu felt as if he had been punched hard in the chest and was filled with resentment.

The blue ox spread out its four legs, with the wind whistling under its feet, and ran away, leaving him far behind.

Hu Ling'er sat in the curved horns, her pure white fur flying backwards in the oncoming wind. The horns were bent into two circles, allowing her to sit calmly in the middle without being blown away by the wind.

The little fox asked curiously, "Niu Er, you can actually control the wind."

The blue bull laughed and said, "How difficult is it to control the wind? I am a dragon, so controlling wind and thunder is a natural ability. Just look at my fur and you will know. I am covered in blue fur. Do I look like a blue dragon? My ancestor was a blue dragon, which is not something a little monster like you can compare to!"

He was very proud. This bloodline made him very different from other strange beasts. If he encountered other strange beasts, the dragon's might alone would be enough to make the other party submit.

Hu Ling'er stroked his scalp. The cowhide was shiny and thick, with amazing defense. The dragon scales on the neck were also dazzling. She couldn't help but praise him, "Niu Er, your hide must be worth a lot of money."

Qingniu staggered and quickly shut his mouth, thinking: "My sworn sister is also a ruthless character. Her master wants to eat me, and she wants to peel my skin for money. She is cruel, really cruel! I am simple and kind, so it is better not to contact these bad people. It's just that I was drunk by her, worshipped her as my sister, and fell into her trap..."

Ling Yuxiu turned around and said to Bashan Jijiu: "Teacher, where are we going to practice?"

"Outside the Great Wall."

Bashan Jiji was looking at the scriptures that Qin Mu and she handed over, studying them one by one, and said without raising his head: "Mandi Country."

Ling Yuxiu was startled: "Mandi Kingdom?"

She had long heard about the brutality of the Mandi battlefield, which was beyond imagination.

Qin Mu's heart moved slightly, he looked at Bashan Jijiu, and whispered: "Brother, have you found the whereabouts of Grandpa Tu's lower body?"

Bashan Jiji nodded and said: "Master's lower body was abducted by a small sect. This small sect was destroyed by the Wu Cult Loulan Golden Palace of Mandi Country. Master's lower body should have fallen into the hands of Loulan Golden Palace."

Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder Bashan Jijiu chose to go to Mandi Kingdom.

He was still a little puzzled. Why did the Loulan Golden Palace destroy that small sect and abduct the butcher's lower body?

The green ox went all the way westward, and soon arrived at the bank of Tu River. The green ox walked on the water and ran upstream.
