But what gave her a headache was that these seals were completely different from what she had known before. After pondering for a long time, she still couldn't find a way to break them. She felt that those seals didn't seem to be man-made at all, but more like they were created by heaven and earth. Their profoundness and mystery far exceeded her expectations.
"What? Are you stumped? You're lucky enough to find this place before me. But your good luck ends here. If you can't break these seals, you will never be able to cleanse your meridians and marrow." At this moment, Jiang Qiling's sarcastic voice sounded behind him.
It was true that enemies often meet on a narrow road. How could I have met her when I hadn't met anyone else? Mu Hanyan turned her head and glanced at her. She didn't even have the interest to talk nonsense with her. She continued to ponder those seals.
"If I were you, I'd better give up early and use the abundant power of heaven and earth to practice for a few more days, and then find some high-quality treasures to avoid wasting time." Mu Hanyan didn't want to pay attention to Jiang Qiling, but Jiang Qiling didn't want to miss this rare opportunity to humiliate Mu Hanyan, so she said sarcastically.
"Haha, you make it sound as if you have the ability to break this seal." Mu Hanyan snorted and said with a sneer.
"Hmph, then let me broaden your horizons." Jiang Qiling held her head high like a proud rooster, and made hand gestures as she spoke.
She wasn't worried about Mu Hanyan taking advantage, because she knew that to find the place where the power of heaven and earth converged, she would need to break more than one seal. Even if she let Mu Hanyan take advantage this time, she wouldn't be able to break the subsequent seals. This was a perfect opportunity for her to strike a heavy blow against Mu Hanyan and regain her fading confidence.
Looking at Jiang Qiling's hand gestures, Mu Hanyan's eyes lit up.
One has to admit that although Jiang Qiling is a little scheming and is disliked by Mu Hanyan, her strength and talent are extremely impressive.
Even Mu Hanyan was somewhat impressed by this skillful and wonderful hand gesture. It seemed that although Jiang Qiling was known as the Little Witch of Longyan in recent years, she had not slacked off at all. Such a hand gesture could not be performed without several years of hard practice.
Speaking of strength, she was able to defeat Zhuang Xingfeng, who was second only to Duan Heshan among the twelve disciples under Long Congyuan, which was actually quite good.
"You didn't realize that I have such a method to break the seal? If I didn't have to hide my strength and show a domineering image, you would never have had the chance to succeed in Longyan College." Noticing the admiration in Mu Hanyan's eyes, Jiang Qiling said with some pride, as proud as a hen showing off its colorful feathers.
However, she was completely unaware that her concern for Mu Hanyan's opinion was actually a sign of weakness. If she was really confident, why would she care about what Mu Hanyan thought of her?
"It's really good. This technique is much better than mine." The pride that only little girls have on Jiang Qiling's face made Mu Hanyan laugh secretly, and she didn't feel as disgusted as before.
Having lived two lives, Mu Hanyan's character was certainly much more mature than that of a vain little girl. Strong is strong, weak is weak, and there was nothing embarrassing about frankly admitting that she wasn't as good as Jiang Qiling in some aspects. There was always a teacher among three people, especially in Longyan Academy, where there were hidden talents and crouching tigers. Jiang Qiling was also the only daughter of Jiang Yunhe, the head of the Tenglong branch.
"This seal is definitely not an ordinary seal. It contains the principles of alchemy, and the principles of alchemy are actually a part of the laws of heaven and earth. You will never be able to break it with the principles of ordinary formations." Seeing Mu Hanyan actually took the initiative to admit that she was not as good as herself, Jiang Qiling's vanity was greatly satisfied.
"So it's the principles of alchemy! Why didn't I think of that?" Mu Hanyan was awakened by her words, and suddenly she slapped her forehead with sudden enlightenment. No wonder she couldn't break the seal after pondering it for a long time. It turned out that it contained the principles of alchemy.
She had read several introductory books on alchemy in the past few days and had some understanding of alchemy. Unfortunately, she didn't think of this level at the time and wasted a lot of time.
Seeing Mu Hanyan's sudden realization, Jiang Qiling felt a little regretful. She was obviously her enemy, so why did she tell her this?
Jiang Qiling looked annoyed, like a little girl who gave all her candies to other children and didn't keep any for herself. Mu Hanyan couldn't help laughing when she saw this.
"So what if you thought of it? Even if I told you, do you think you can break the seal with the alchemy technique you have only learned for two days?" Jiang Qiling was even more irritated by Mu Hanyan's smile, and said angrily.
Although she has been concentrating on cultivation these days, she is not oblivious to what is happening outside. She also knows that Mu Hanyan bought some enlightenment books and tried to practice alchemy and alchemy, but she doesn't take it seriously at all.
She had worked hard on alchemy for at least three years, while Mu Hanyan had only studied it for a few days, and she even went to the market to buy a few enlightenment books to study on her own. How could she possibly compare with her?
Although Mu Hanyan relied on a book called "The Art of Formation" to enlighten people about formations and used the art of formation to trap Tian Wenliang, she later heard rumors that the Mu family had an ancestral art of formations, and Mu Hanyan actually used the "Art of Formation" to comprehend the ancestral art of the Mu family, so her strength in formations had little to do with the "Art of Formation".
Jiang Qiling didn't believe it. In addition to the ancestral art of formation, the Mu family also had the art of alchemy.
In short, facing the seals in front of her, she was confident that she still had an absolute advantage over Mu Hanyan.
"Yes, you're right," Mu Hanyan said with a smile. She had learned some alchemy techniques over the past few days and had memorized the alchemy hand gestures. However, she had no foundation at all and no one to guide her, so she always felt like something was missing. Now that she had seen Jiang Qiling's hand gestures, she had gained a lot of insights. It was a good opportunity to further comprehend them.
"See? This is called Flowing Clouds and Flying Sleeves. You will never be able to learn such exquisite techniques from the "Alchemy Classics". And there is also the Brushing Wind Finger. You have definitely never even heard of it. And this one, Phoenix Soaring Eighteen Returns, if I hadn't performed it, you would never have seen it in your life..." Seeing Mu Hanyan ignoring her, Jiang Qiling was quite indignant. She showed off while making hand gestures and chattering non-stop.
"Yeah, very powerful. I will never have the chance to see it in my life. By the way, how long will it take? It's almost two hours, why doesn't the seal react at all?" Mu Hanyan asked with a yawn, holding her chin.
Just like when she first comprehended the formation, all she needed was someone to lead her into the door. The Star-Falling Sword contained all kinds of laws and included countless methods, which complemented each other. Therefore, Jiang Qiling's method was not of much help to her except for the initial surprise it gave her, which led her into the door.
Jiang Qiling's face turned red, and she realized that she was so busy showing off her alchemy hand gestures that she forgot the most important thing - breaking the seal.
(The proud little hen is begging for monthly tickets. She said I’m really not a bad person, really not!)
