A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 337 Going down the mountain

Chao Bufan said, "Old sir, there is something I don't understand. My master said that you and he are good friends who have been friends for hundreds of years and have been discussing martial arts from both the East and the West for decades. So why doesn't my master know magic?"

Harems smiled slightly and said, "It's just that your master is too stubborn. When we were discussing martial arts, I suggested that he try practicing some of our Western magic, but your master refused to learn it no matter what, saying that if he had such free time, he would rather focus on cultivating Taoist magic."

"Sigh!" Chao Bufan sighed softly and said, "My master is such a stubborn person. If he had listened to you back then, he would probably be just like you now, with profound Taoist skills and superb magic."

Harems laughed and said, "Actually, my Taoist skills are far inferior to your master's. Your master is the one with profound Taoist skills. On the surface, I have reached the peak of the Yellow Realm, but in fact, it is all due to the enhancement of magic. Compared with your master, I am not even on the same level."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan laughed and said, "You can't say that. You are, after all, a person at the peak of the Yellow Realm. You can turn the world upside down with a flick of your wrist. Tell me, who in the world can be on par with you?"

Chao Bufan's flattering words elevated Harems to the heavens, and Harems, hearing such high praise from Chao Bufan, was quite pleased with himself, and said with a smug smile, "Young man, you really know how to talk."

Chao Bufan chuckled and said, "Sir, I have a favor to ask, and I hope you will grant it."

Harlem stroked his beard and smiled, "Please speak, young man."

Chao Bufan said solemnly, "It is like this. My master did not heed your advice before and practiced true magic, which he regrets to this day. I humbly request that you teach me magic. I would be extremely grateful!"

This is the true purpose of being extraordinary.

Harems was visibly taken aback upon hearing this, then chuckled and said, "Young man, do you really want to learn magic?"

Chao Bufan nodded sincerely and said, "I hope that you, sir, can be generous with your donation. This is also my master's wish."

Harems nodded and smiled, "Since it's your master's wish, then fine, I'll teach you. However, I'll only teach you some ordinary magic, and that's all I can teach you. Learning magic is just like learning Taoist arts; it's all done step by step."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan was overjoyed and quickly raised his hand, saying, "Thank you, sir."

Harems nodded and smiled, then stood up and took out two wooden sticks, about the size of a little finger and slightly longer than chopsticks, saying, "These are two magic wands. Take them and I'll teach you a few simple magic spells."

"Thank you, sir!" Chao Bufan and He Yifei accepted the gift and expressed their gratitude.

Immediately, Harems chanted a short incantation and then flicked his finger at the two extraordinary individuals, instantly generating several magical incantations in their minds.

"These are just a few simple incantations. If you want to study more advanced magic after you've learned them, I suggest you go to a magic school. Only there can you learn better things."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan was slightly surprised and exclaimed, "A magic school?"

Harlem nodded and said, "Yes, this magic school is in the magic forest."

Chao Bufan exclaimed again in surprise, "The Magic Forest? Old sir, where is this Magic Forest?"

Harlem said, "The Magic Forest is located in a deep mountain forest in the southernmost part of our country, and ordinary people cannot enter it and do not even know that such a place exists."

Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Thank you, sir."

Harlem nodded and said "Mm," then asked, "Young man, it's been so long, when is your master coming back?"

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "It won't be that fast! If you wish to go, sir, I can personally escort you."

Harems nodded and said, "The Bible is a sacred relic left from ancient times, something that your master and I have longed for. If we can decipher its mysteries, we can achieve great things and ascend to immortality. At that time, even you will benefit immensely!"

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan glanced at He Yifei, and they both smiled. Then, Chao Bufan said with a smile, "If you really comprehend the things in the Bible, it will be a blessing for us disciples."

Harlem chuckled and said, "Young man, then I'll trouble you to come with me."

Chao Bufan nodded and said, "No problem, sir. Please give me your hand and I'll take you to my master right away."

As he spoke, Chao Bufan revealed his divine bone. Sensing the vast yet gentle aura contained within the divine bone, Harems was slightly startled, secretly thinking, "Such a powerful aura, such a unique weapon."

Harems was unaware that he was about to die. Given his life-or-death bond with Hu Shan, he never imagined that Hu Shan's disciple would do anything to him. In fact, he didn't even consider Chao Bufan and He Yifei's cultivation levels a threat. However, the 'ugly' weapon in Chao Bufan's hand, which contained a powerful yet gentle aura, piqued his interest slightly. He chuckled and said, "Young brother, forgive my bluntness, but those who cultivate the Dao usually use weapons like swords, spears, halberds, axes, and forks as their defensive treasures. Why are you using such a treasure?"

Harems almost said the word "incongruous".

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "This magic weapon was a gift from my master. Although it looks a bit ugly, it's still quite handy."

As he spoke, Chao Bufan stroked the divine bone with his hand, and the bone immediately emitted a "humming" sound, releasing an even more powerful and gentle aura. Harems was startled again, thinking inwardly, "HX is so vast and diverse, truly full of wonders!"

He paused for a moment, then said, "Young man, to avoid any unforeseen complications, let me give you a ride!"

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "Alright, then we'll do as the old man says."

With that, Chao Bufan said to He Yifei, "Junior sister, then I will go down the mountain with the old man."

He Yifei smiled slightly and said, "Senior brother, then you should come back soon!"

Chao Bufan smiled again, then took He Yifei's hand, looking reluctant to part.

"Junior sister."

"Senior brother."

Seeing this, Harlem shook his head and smiled, thinking: It's just going down the mountain, not some life-or-death situation. These young people nowadays are getting more and more...
