Chapters 179 and 180: The Eye of the Storm!

  By the side, Qiuqiu saw Xiao Hong and Muci's intimate appearance, also unwilling to show weakness, twisting his fat body, jumping up and down, came to Xiao Hong's shoulder, and learned from Muci, hugging Xiao Hong's neck, little head on Xiao Hong's face, constantly rubbing back and forth.

  Xiao Hong gently stroked Qiu Qiu's head and touched his cheek with the tip of her nose, just like a family of three.

  Five minutes had passed before Xiao Hong and Mu Xi'er finally parted ways, then Xiao Hong pulled Mu Xi'er's hand and walked into his bedroom.

  At this time, Xiao Hong did not overdo it like a normal couple, but slightly blushed and put his hand on Muxi'er's shoulder very lightly.

  It can be said that in Xiao Hong's heart, Mu Xi'er is now his girlfriend, and also a sacred fairy, who dares not to profane excessively, but quietly appreciates the beautiful curves on Mu Tan'er's face.

  Learning that Xiao Hong was safe and sound, Mu Xi's face finally showed a long-lost relaxation and joy, and she anxiously asked about what had happened yesterday.

  As for Muxi'er's question, Xiao Hong's answer can be said to be half true and half false. The truth is that he walked into the park beforehand, but the falsehood is about what happened after he transformed into Quan Cang - instead, he said he ran back to the outskirts and shook off Miao Chen and the others.

  Of course, Xiao Hongzhen did not intentionally deceive him, but the matter of Quan Cang was related to the Weilin Public Country, and let Muxi'er know that it would not bring any benefits to Muxi'er.

  It's possible that once exposed, it may even bring about a fatal disaster. Don't mention Luo Xue Ning, Xiao Hong still understands, worried that Mu Xi will drink vinegar that has nothing to do with her, and not leave any future troubles.

  In fact, in Xiao Hong's eyes, he and Luo Xueyu were just good friends, without any hint of a romantic relationship between them.

  For Xiao Hong's half-true and half-false words, Mu Xi'er didn't have much doubt: "Angrily, you just be safe and sound, I don't care about the rest."

  "Oh, right."

  "Muxi'er suddenly thought of something, put on a serious expression, and said to Xiao Hong: 'From today on, I've decided that I want to become stronger. I want to cultivate my inner strength, but the Blood Trial Cultivation Method is a bit too profound for me. Do you have any quicker and simpler methods?"

  Looking at Muxi'er's serious face, Yu recognized the solemn expression, Xiao Hong couldn't help but take a few more glances, then smiled lightly.

  "Is there? Anyway, you're my boyfriend now, so you have to think of a way." Murong Xi continued.

  "Of course, what's your current cultivation level?" Xiao Hong asked softly.

  "Kuai Yu Tu fourth level already." Mu Xi Er responded.

  "Wait a minute." Xiao Hong said, and then came to the storage cabinet, took out two small boxes, placed them in front of Mu Xi'er, and opened them.

  One wooden box contains a bundle of incense sticks, and another contains two incense stick holders.

  "What is this?" Mu Xi'er looked at the thing in front of her, blinking her eyes, and asked with some confusion. It could be said that when it came to magic tattoos, Mu Xi'er was only half-understanding.

  "Use it together with this," Xiao Hong said, handing over a beginner-level, simplest breathing exercise book to Muxi. Then he told Muxi how to use it before reaching the tenth level of cultivation.

  Muxi'er listened very carefully and nodded frequently. It was clear that this time, she had really made up her mind to become stronger.

  In fact, this thing is not difficult to grasp, and Mu Xi'er himself is not stupid, so he quickly grasped the trick.

  The two of them stayed in the room for a whole hour, and it wasn't until then that Muxi'er reluctantly left with Bao Bao.

  It can be said that if it weren't for Miao Chen's existence, they could have gone out and about like a normal couple. However, this would make Xiao Hong easily suspected of being a student from another school. Once discovered by Miao Chen, trouble would ensue, with Da Hong Mei's trip being the first to be affected, followed by consideration of the Miao family's covert assassination attempts.

  After all, Xiao Hong's existence is an absolute fatal threat to the Miao family.

  Watching Muxi'er leave with a hint of reluctance from behind, Xiao Hong's expression also carried a hint of reluctance and a thread of murderous intent.

  As for Miao Chen's actions yesterday, Xiao Hong's heart has already harbored deep hatred, but Xiao Hong hasn't been blinded by this hatred.

  To get rid of this and the current situation, there is only one way, that is to enhance strength. If one day, I can really be like Heiying, waving my hand and sacrificing 300 lives, I will no longer be timid and fearful as I am today.

  Once again returned to the bedroom, after tidying up, Xiao Hong took a small wooden box and walked out, rushing to the front hall.

  "Li Le, come here for a moment." He came to the front hall and saw Li Le instructing an apprentice. Xiao Hong said softly and sat down at the counter.

  "Huh? Brother Hong, you're out! Where's Mu Xi? She's been waiting for you here since 6 o'clock." Li Le came to Xiao Hong's side and said with a smile.

  Xiao Hong did not directly answer this question, and instead put the wooden box in his hand into Li Le's hands: "Take it."

  "What's inside?" Li Le asked nonchalantly.

  "Xīn kǒu jīn de chū jīn wén." Xiāo Hóng's expression was calm as he replied.

  "Ah-choo!" Li Le, who heard this, swallowed a mouthful of saliva directly into his trachea and coughed violently twice. His hand also trembled slightly, and the box almost fell to the ground. "A thousand gold coins! Even if Dahongmei's business is booming, it's still an astronomical sum!"

  "From today on, the expansion plan of Da Hongmei's trip is officially launched. This 'concave gold' is just the start-up capital, not enough to say more. In short, my strategy is to first occupy this street and then expand outward from here." Xiao Hong said in a low voice.

  "Hong Ge, I feel that we should bloom everywhere, it's not good to be limited to just one place, right?" Li Le said with a hint of puzzlement.

  "You don't understand, I've been in contact with An Rong and others for a while, which made me realize that any force that can have long-term development must have its own headquarters or absolute sphere of influence. But we only rely on Da Hongmei's two places, which is not enough, the whole street is still lacking." Xiao Hong responded: "In addition, take the money and first step, completely buy out the rented house of our current Da Hongmei's place, if it's not enough, call me."

  Le Chang nodded, he was very clear that Xiao Hong was going to play for real this time. As for how Xiao Hong had so much money, he wasn't surprised either. Helping the Meiyin company produce special effects must have earned him a pretty penny.

  After finishing all this, Xiao Hong didn't say much more. He glanced at the newspaper on the counter, picked it up casually and walked to the side room to see if he could find something to eat before heading to Xijin Branch School.

  However, just as Xiao Hong casually flipped open the newspaper, his expression involuntarily changed. The front page was completely filled with news about Quan Cang.

  One side is the usual headline with a deep palm print in the background, and the other side is a large-scale report, among which the most eye-catching title is "Qing Cang, Disciple of Amiro!"

  The rest is all exaggerated descriptions, and the previous branch school student who exploded in popularity has already been buried by Quan Zhen.

  "It can't be this exaggerated, right?"

  Xiao Hong looked at the newspaper, muttering to himself, his expression changing again and again. Originally, he thought Luo Xue Ning's previous "Shi Ge" was just a casual remark, but unexpectedly, it was publicized so openly.

  "This is getting interesting." Xiao Hong shook his head helplessly and entered the side room, casually throwing the newspaper aside and starting to find some leftover food to eat. In his mind, he couldn't help but think of Hei Ying, wondering what his true identity was, how strong he was, and if it was just about obtaining the relic, why had he followed him in the first place?

  Enemy? Xiao Hong doesn't seem to think so, because from start to finish, Xiao Hong can see that the black shadow is showing mercy to himself and Luo Xue Ning. And that black shadow isn't a kind-hearted person either, those 300 dead soldiers of the Wei Lin army are the best evidence.

  Similarly, there is another question, what is the use of the relic bone after all? Why does everyone want to get it?

  Almost in an instant, Xiao Hong's mind was filled with a large pile of question marks.

  For these things, the vast majority of Xiao Hong couldn't understand, so he could only shake his head. After casually eating some food, he got up and drove the magic car to Xijin Branch School.

  On the way, Xiao Hong was surprised to find that the light screens on both sides of the road were almost filled with information about Quan Cang, which made Xiao Hong feel helpless and estimated that it would be impossible for Quan Cang to fade out of people's sight.

  Similarly, when the armored vehicle entered Xizhimen District, Xiao Hong could clearly see that the number of police had decreased significantly overnight. When they arrived at Xizhimen Academy, it was the same.

  What's going on here?

  Xiao Hong was somewhat perplexed, but after careful consideration, it wasn't difficult to guess that Bai Tu was seriously injured and Yang Shun had been killed directly. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Weilin Kingdom. Moreover, with the propaganda of Quan Cang's remaining strength, there was no doubt that Luo Xue Ning had already begun to pull the wool over Quan Cang's eyes, pretending to be powerful.

  I suppose Veering won't make any rash moves either, thanks to the existence of Quan Zang.

  As I drove into Xijin Academy, there wasn't much change along the way. However, just as Xiao Hongzhou was about to turn the car into the area near Dormitory No. 1, he found that Luoxue Ning, who had always tried to stay hidden in the dormitory building, had begun to stroll around the campus leisurely, accompanied by several subordinates and high-ranking officials of the academy.

  Xiao Hong just glanced at him lightly and walked directly into the courtyard of his dormitory building. As usual, he activated the warning magic pattern to confirm that there was no unusual movement before walking in with a peace of mind.

  Entering his dormitory, Xiao Hong immediately began working tirelessly, sitting at his desk and starting a day of study and research.

  Chapter 180: Crazy Research!

  Firstly, what Xiao Hong was most interested in was naturally the Chen Yin war tattoo, this demonic tattoo personally made by Amiro, without much hesitation.

  He carefully took out the Chen Yin's battle pattern and placed it on a special pattern analyzer. The analyzer had a specialized magnifier that allowed Xiao Hong to see every single thread with utmost accuracy.

  But just as Xiao Hong's eyes were fixed on the magnifying glass, his expression suddenly changed. A look of shock slowly appeared on his face. This time, Xiao Hong clearly saw the patterns on Chen Yin's sword, and the intricate routes that originally made him surprised when he saw them on Chen Yin's sword. However, after being magnified several times, Xiao Hong saw that among these complex patterns, there were even more extremely fine lines, like fine hairs or tiny blood vessels, connecting other visible magic patterns together. "My god." Xiao Hong stared at the magnifying glass with wide eyes and involuntarily exclaimed. He had never seen such a sword pattern in his life, whether it was the structure or the abnormal craftsmanship, both shocked him repeatedly.

  Xiao Hong was originally quite proud of his knife skills, thinking they had reached the highest level, but this was clearly a frog-in-the-well mentality. Only now did Xiao Hong truly understand what it means to be top-notch, and he still had a long way to go.

  Such discovery is not a blow but a driving force for Xiao Hong.

  Without saying much, Xiao Hong began to study the Chen Yin war pattern carefully and meticulously, point by point. The notebook in his hand continued to record everything, trying to capture all the subtle details for further research and application in his own weaving techniques.

  And try to imitate its exquisite craftsmanship for your own use.

  Such research lasted for two hours before Xiao Hong finally shifted his gaze away from the magnifying glass and rubbed his eyes casually.

  Looking at the notebook in front of Xiao Hong, it was already densely packed with seven or eight pages of notes, all of which were things that Xiao Hong had discovered from the Zhenyin War Pattern using his own knowledge. There were nearly a hundred items that required Xiao Hong to carefully ponder and refine.

  Taking a slight breath, Xiao Hong reviewed the notes he had recorded earlier, and at the same time, his hands did not stop working, wrapping a long, tattered cloth strip around the Jian Suo war knife.

  Although the Suo War Knife is exquisite, a discerning person can basically tell at a glance that it's something that Luoxue Ning carries with her, making it easy to associate and wonder what kind of relationship she has with herself?

  This will undoubtedly bring some trouble, so it's better to be careful and subtle, adding a layer of disguise with a cloth strip on top.

  After organizing his notes, Xiao Hong closed them and took out the dark blue magic thread bead according to the method he learned from Cui Yuanbo, breaking down each complex technique into more basic knowledge points.

  At present, Xiao Hong has reached the third level of driving. According to habit, it is also the time for Xiao Hong to upgrade his dark blue magic bead, but due to Xiao Hong's recent use of the dark blue magic bead not being much, the internal energy purity is not enough yet.

  Helpless, Xiao Hong could only adopt a very common method, that is, use it in non-combat situations.

  He swiped his hand across the magic pattern on the wall, and a target made of magic patterns rose from the floor. Then Xiao Hong didn't hesitate to drive the dark blue magic bead, shooting out the Thousand-Year Frostbite one piece at a time towards the target.

  Now, Huo Hong is facing the dark blue magic bead, extremely excited. The second level of Yu Zhe condensed the previous cold fog into ice blocks. What kind of effect will it become when reaching the third level of Yu Zhe?

  Just walked past for a while, probably only ten or so minutes later, and looked down at the bottom of the magic target. A small hill had already formed, all of which were dark blue-colored thousand-year-old ice.

  If others saw this, they would be extremely envious of the countless years of icy accumulation here, but Xiao Hong didn't think so. At first, he thought so too, but after seeing it many times, he became numb to it.

  Until the driving force in his body was consumed to a certain extent, and a small amount of driving force was also consumed from the cyan-black magic bead, Xiao Hong only then prompted the energy purity of the dark blue magic bead to reach the standard for upgrading.

  However, Xiao Hong did not immediately upgrade the Dark Blue Magic Pearl. The reason was that his internal driving force no longer allowed him to do so. After all, upgrading the Dark Blue Magic Pearl once required consuming a lot of driving force, and Xiao Hong's internal driving force was no longer abundant.

  Retrieve the dark blue magic bead, Xiao Hong glanced at it casually, just about to put it in his inner pocket, but Xiao Hong's hand stopped.

  Because Xiao Hong thought of the technique of tattooing within a tattoo!

  Previously, Xiao Hong only had a little understanding of the tattoo technique, which was limited by his own knowledge at that time. Now, after such a long period of study, will he have a deeper understanding of the tattoo technique?

  With this idea, Xiao Hong didn't hesitate and carefully placed the dark blue magic bead on the instrument, constantly adjusting the enlarged image until he could see it clearly.

  Then Xiao Hong began to carefully observe again.

  Because of the previous observation at the quarry, Xiao Hong had already made a very detailed observation of the dark blue magic bead, so this time he didn't think there was anything unfamiliar about the lines in the dark blue magic bead.

  The only difference is that with the help of professional instruments, Xiao Hong can see the texture between the textures more clearly.

  Xiao Hong's previous mastery of the techniques in Wén Zhōng Wén only strengthened the foundation and guided the bow, while efficiently optimizing the magic seals, making the energy within the magic seals even more powerful.

  Based on this, Xiao Hong began to carefully examine the other patterns within the patterns of the magic bead.

  Without a doubt, this time, looking at the magic beads, Xiao Hong has lost the deepest feeling from the beginning. At least, it can still be understood that part of it is on the smooth curve between the textures, in the texture.

  With so much time, Xiao Hong studied hard and only after a moment's thought did he understand that the smooth curve of the magic seal was actually "compression". In other words, it was to compress a complex system of patterns into a slightly smoother pattern, using the energy transmission and activation between the patterns to exert its corresponding effect.

  In short, it is to use a specific method to compress some textures into the texture of the texture, so that it can achieve the original effect while leaving space on the stone to carve other textures.

  Just like a water cup that can only hold one liter of water, if the water molecules are compressed, it may be able to hold 3 liters or even "4 liters" of water.

  As a result, more things can be expressed in magic circles, and performance can also be greatly improved.

  With this discovery, Xiao Hong's face turned slightly red, his scalp felt a little numb, and the excitement in his heart overflowed like an expression. It was as if a poor man had picked up four gold coins on the street.

  A new technique discovered in the midst of patterns, is absolutely worth a city. After more than half a day, Xiao Hong finally managed to swallow a mouthful of saliva with great effort, his hands slightly trembling as he began to record his new discovery. And started thinking continuously about how to apply it to his own magic pattern.

  It's obviously not a simple technique, and when compressing, you must follow certain rules, and these rules, or laws, must be discovered by Xiaohong himself.

  It wasn't until six o'clock in the evening, when the sky had already darkened, that Xiao Hong finally organized his new discovery, which he named "Compression" - a straightforward and vivid term.

  He carefully put away the two magic beads and looked at Xiao Hong's notes in his hand, which had already exceeded twenty pages.

  Shut down the laptop, Xiao Hongke didn't plan to stop, but instead prepared to go to the library for crazy research and data retrieval. In short, he wanted to master the "compression" technology and some of Amiro's techniques in a short period of time.

  If they can produce medicine through them, it may be a great help in treating their own illnesses.

  However, just as Xiao Hong was about to put the notes in his backpack and leave, he found that under the magic pattern, there was still a large pile of Millennium Ice.

  With a deliberate effort, the dark blue magic patterns dispersed, but thinking back, it was all in vain. The driving force of the stock's power created an eternal ice that was wasted and regrettable.

  "Huh?"

  Xiao Hong suddenly had an idea, reached out to touch the Jisu battle knife at his waist, didn't Luo Xue Ning say before that it could gather a large amount of elemental energy? The Ten Thousand Year Ice should belong to water element, it should work.

  With this idea, Xiao Hong followed the method that Luo Xue Ning told him to operate, allowing the driving force in his body to seep into the Ji Su battle knife, first releasing the accumulated internal energy.

  Wow!

  Just as Xiao Hong was about to put the orange into his mouth, suddenly a large amount of air inside was released, causing the air density around him to increase greatly, and at the same time, there was also a hint of moisture in the air.

  It's not strange at all, sound travels through the air and other mediums, in humid high-density air, for Luxu who uses sonic waves to attack, it can absolutely get a huge boost.

  Just like Xiao Hong using Frost, in low-temperature and humid conditions, he will definitely get a bonus, becoming an unstoppable force on his home turf.

  As he cleared out the impurities from the Gathering Essence, Xiao Hong activated its elemental absorption function and directly inserted it into the pile of Thousand Year Frost Ice, letting it slowly absorb.

  Xiao Hong then locked the door and turned around to leave, preparing to go to the library for a crazy study session.

  However, Xiao Hong had already set his sights on Muxi's privilege card earlier. If he used it again, he estimated that this side would use it, and the other side, Miao Chen, would also take notice. And this time, taking notice wouldn't be like before, after all, Xiao Hong and the Miao family had already become sworn enemies!

  However, this won't stop Xiao Hong. Without using Muxi's special privilege card, he can go find Cui Yuanbo. After all, Cui Yuanbo was once a professor at Xijin Magic Academy, and with his former teaching card, he can still enter it...
