Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 96: Dou Zhuan Xing Yi (Star Shift)
"Young Master, are we really going to return the item?" Standing beside Cang Wenbin was a middle-aged man in a long robe, the steward sent by Cang Wenbin's family when he joined the Traceless Sword Sect.
Cang Wenbin gritted his teeth and said, "What else can I do? Uncle Qianxing is at Fire Sword Peak. Unless something major happens, it's hard even for me to see him, let alone ask him for help."
The middle-aged man whispered, "Young Master, I have an idea. Didn't you think that stick was unusual? Why don't we just send it to Peak Lord Qianxing? When that lowly errand disciple comes to ask for it, we'll just tell him to go to Peak Lord Qianxing. That way, he'll be courting death."
Cang Wenbin's eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head. "My clan uncle is who he is. It's best not to do such a thing. That Mo Wuji is a ruthless person. If we don't return the item in time, he might get desperate and come to my residence to deal with me. The risk is too great."
The middle-aged man's eyes darted around. "Actually, there's another way. We could give the item to that errand disciple first, then find a way to tell Peak Lord Qianxing about it. We can say you found a good material for forging and were going to give it to the Peak Lord, but that errand disciple Mo Wuji forcibly took it away."
Cang Wenbin clapped his hands. "Good, let's do that. Send that iron stick to that lowly errand disciple now, and let's see how he faces my clan uncle's wrath."
...
Mo Wuji hadn't seen Yan'er in a month and kept talking to her, hoping to help her remember more of her past. He did most of the talking, while Yan'er listened. Unlike when he spoke with Xiong Xiuzhu, Yan'er listened quietly while Mo Wuji spoke, her expression peaceful and serene, her eyes gentle.
"Young Master, Cang Wenbin sent someone to deliver the item," Xiong Xiuzhu's voice sounded from outside.
Mo Wuji stood up and looked at Yan'er. "Yan'er, I have something to study. You can walk around outside the house, and if you get tired, go to sleep."
Although Yan'er wouldn't respond, Mo Wuji knew she understood him.
Seeing Yan'er walk out, Mo Wuji said to Xiong Xiuzhu, "Aunt Xiong, that item belongs to your family. You should keep it. I have something to study, so don't disturb me unless it's urgent."
"Thank you, Young Master. Tao Ao and I are blessed to be under your protection. Tao Ao and I don't cultivate, and we don't have spiritual roots. This iron stick is useless to us, so we'll give it to you, Young Master," Xiong Xiuzhu said as she dragged an iron stick into the room.
Mo Wuji didn't mind. An iron stick wasn't much. Accepting it would put Xiong Xiuzhu more at ease.
However, when he saw Xiong Xiuzhu struggling to drag the iron stick in, he vaguely felt that it wasn't simple. The iron stick was only a bit taller than a person and as thick as a baby's wrist. Xiong Xiuzhu did physical labor all year round, so picking up this iron stick shouldn't be a problem, right? But now, Xiong Xiuzhu was clearly struggling.
Could this iron stick be made of some remarkable material, attracting Cang Wenbin's covetousness?
Thinking of this, Mo Wuji said, "Thank you, Aunt Xiong. I'll accept the iron stick. While I'm studying, please help take care of Yan'er. Notify me immediately if anything happens."
"Yes, Young Master, don't worry. I will take good care of Yan'er." As Mo Wuji expected, Xiong Xiuzhu was delighted when Mo Wuji accepted the iron stick. When she left, she seemed much more energetic.
Mo Wuji grabbed the iron stick, feeling an icy chill. Lifting it, Mo Wuji estimated its weight to be at least a hundred jin. If he hadn't cultivated, he would have struggled to lift it as well.
The surface of the iron stick had faint lines, and there were two characters where he gripped it. Mo Wuji looked closely for a long time before identifying them: 'Tian Ji' (Heaven's Secret).
Tian Ji? If this world had nothing to do with weapon rankings, and if weapon rankings were just the words of novelists, Mo Wuji would have thought this was the Tian Ji Staff, ranked first among weapons.
Besides the characters 'Tian Ji' and its weight, the iron stick had no other unusual features. After studying it, Mo Wuji put the iron stick aside. It was truly useless to him. He wasn't a weapon refiner. If he were, he could melt the iron stick down to see what material it was made of.
Putting down the iron stick, Mo Wuji opened his package. Inside were his gains from Traceless Sword Mountain, his first cultivation resources since he started cultivating.
The dozens of bottles of Rank 1 Human Spirit Pills were all there, and the spirit stones he had obtained from the Rank 3 Human Pill Refiner were also present. The half of a broken sword and the inheritance crystal ball were also safe and sound. In addition, there was a pile of Rank 2 spirit herbs and a thin animal hide scroll.
Mo Wuji picked up the animal hide scroll. It contained several Rank 2 Human Spirit Pill formulas. He knew that Yin Qianqian must have put it in, probably feeling indebted to him and using these things as compensation.
Regardless of what Yin Qianqian was thinking, these things were exactly what Mo Wuji needed.
Mo Wuji didn't touch the inheritance crystal ball first, but rather the half of the broken sword.
This half of a broken sword was Mo Luoqu's broken sword. According to Yin Qianqian and what he had seen, Mo Luoqu must have perished in Traceless Sword Mountain. Mo Wuji felt a sense of shared misfortune with Mo Luoqu. He planned to clean the broken sword, put it in a wooden box, and keep it as a memento and a warning.
The broken end of the Luoqu Sword looked extremely smooth, but due to long-term corrosion, it had accumulated rust and mottling.
Mo Wuji drew his sharp knife and scraped away the mottling and rust, immediately noticing slight gaps in the broken end. Mo Wuji used the tip of his knife to pry at the gaps, making them larger. He then pulled out a tightly rolled piece of thin silk paper. Strictly speaking, it shouldn't be called paper. The material was somewhat similar to his Wordless Pill Book, extremely tough.
Mo Wuji slowly unrolled the thin silk, which turned out to be nearly a meter long and half a meter wide. It was covered with countless tiny characters and clear diagrams of human body spiritual energy pathways.
The tiny characters were clearly incantations, and the diagrams were used to cultivate in conjunction with the incantations.
So a cultivation method was hidden in this broken sword. He didn't know if it was a cultivation technique or a skill. Mo Wuji guessed that even Mo Luoqu didn't know about this, or if he did, it was only after arriving at Traceless Sword Mountain.
In the upper left corner of the thin silk, Mo Wuji finally saw four slightly larger characters: *Dou Zhuan Xing Yi* (Stellar Transformations).
Mo Wuji was speechless. He had come to this world and was almost as down-on-his-luck as Murong Fu. Now, the skill he had obtained had the same name as the one Murong Fu practiced.
But Murong Fu was a fictional character! How could such a ridiculous thing happen? He didn't believe that Jin Yong's Murong Fu was a real person.
However, putting all that aside, Mo Wuji believed that *Dou Zhuan Xing Yi* was the most powerful of all martial techniques.
Compared to what *Nine Yin and Nine Yang*, *Dugu Nine Swords*, or *Great Shift of Universe*, in Mo Wuji's mind, it was not as strong as *Dou Zhuan Xing Yi*.
Mo Wuji didn't know how many levels *Dou Zhuan Xing Yi* had, but he knew that Murong Fu was only at the first level and he could be ranked as well as Qiao Feng. Murong Fu was not as good as Qiao Feng, because he put all his energy on the restoration of the empire.
According to Murong Fu at the time, "Junior's family inherited *Dou Zhuan Xing Yi* divine skill, my older brother practiced to the "Beidou Yichen (Big Dipper Moving Star)" realm, my father practiced to the "Gumeng Xinghun (Lone Dream Star Soul)" realm, the Longcheng ancestor who created this set of divine skills practiced to the "Yunshi Xinglang (Meteorite Star Wave)" realm, and the truly supreme realm is "Tianhuan Xingchen (Celestial Illusion Star Array)"..."
Now that *Dou Zhuan Xing Yi* had appeared in Mo Luoqu's sword, Mo Wuji didn't believe that this technique was created by Murong Longcheng.
Mo Wuji continued to read. "The life of a lady is originally the Qi of chaos, Qi gives birth to essence, essence gives birth to spirit, spirit gives birth to enlightenment; based on the Qi of Yin and Yang, Qi turns into essence, essence turns into spirit, spirit turns into enlightenment; guarding Qi and combining with spirit, then essence does not lose its form, thinking of these three combined into one, to reach the principle for a long time, not the same as muscles and strength but natural..."
"Cultivators of truth, imitate Yin and Yang; combine with numerology, hold the universe, concentrate Qi into one, take the spirit as the chariot, take the Qi as the horse, the spirit and Qi are combined, and can succeed..."
What kind of martial technique was this? This was simply a cultivation technique, no, it should be a skill.
Further down, "This chapter is divided into four-word formulas, one is the 'Dou' formula, the 'Dou' formula has four levels, the first is 'Yi Hua Jie Mu (Grafting Flowers and Connecting Trees)', the second is 'Beidou Yichen (Big Dipper Moving Star)', the third is 'Gumeng Xinghun (Lone Dream Star Soul)', the fourth is 'Yunshi Xinglang (Meteorite Star Wave)'; the second is the 'Zhuan' formula, the 'Zhuan' formula has four levels, the first is 'Tianhuan Xingchen (Celestial Illusion Star Array)', the second is 'Canshang Yonghe (Orion and Scorpius Forever Unite)', the third is 'Canhui Douzhuan (Orion Returns, Big Dipper Turns)', the fourth is 'Xuanqian Zhuankun (Revolving Heaven and Turning Earth).'"
Mo Wuji took a breath. This technique really had nothing to do with Murong Longcheng. According to Murong Fu, the highest realm cultivated by the Murong family was only the first level of the Zhuan formula, *Tianhuan Xingchen (Celestial Illusion Star Array)*. Cultivating to *Tianhuan Xingchen (Celestial Illusion Star Array)* was estimated to be the highest realm of martial arts cultivation. After that, without the complement of true essence, it was impossible to cultivate the later realms.
