Chapter 222: Ambitions

"Hiss——"

Li Xuan took a breath and shook his head uncertainly.

Manager Shang only told him to borrow a book called Turtle Breathing Method from Qianxing Pavilion and then let him practice it to the entry level.

But he didn't say what specific effect this Turtle Breathing Method had.

Judging from the information in Li Xuan's mind now, it seems that this is hardly a method, but a way to keep healthy.

Through a special breathing method, one's breathing becomes particularly long.

According to the description in the book, if this Turtle Breathing Method can be practiced to a high level, the time between breathing can even be extended to several days.

And if you are well prepared, the time of holding your breath can be longer than this.

According to the book, using this breathing method can prolong life.

But in addition to the effect of prolonging life, this breathing method can't even practice the power of qi and blood.

At this time, Li Xuan realized that the bookshelf in front of him was not a bookshelf for storing martial arts secrets, but all the books on health preservation.

"That is to say, this Turtle Breathing Method is not a martial art."

Li Xuan suddenly realized.

But Mr. Ye had made it clear before that there was only this Turtle Breathing Method in the Thousand Star Pavilion, which meant that he was not mistaken.

"It's strange, so let's take the book back and let Shang Zongguan confirm it."

Li Xuan decided that he would borrow this book this month.

Although he had already learned this breathing method, it would be better to borrow it back to Jingyang Palace for safety reasons.

"Ah Xuan, do you want to borrow this book?"

Li Xuan gestured slightly, and Princess Ankang understood what he meant.

Seeing Li Xuan nod, Princess Ankang said, "Okay, I'll hold this book for you, and you can go and read the books you want to read. Sister Yu'er and I will walk around here to see if there are any books you want to borrow."

Princess Ankang knew that Li Xuan was anxious to read the martial arts secrets on the third floor, so she didn't force him to stay by her side.

Li Xuan meowed happily, kissed Princess Ankang and Yu'er, and then went straight to the third floor.

The main purpose of coming to Qianxing Pavilion today has been achieved, and he can continue to read quantum books at will in the remaining time.

"Who would complain that he knows too many skills?"

"I just learn and don't practice, just for fun!"

Li Xuan hadn't finished reading all the seventh-grade skills when he came back last time.

When he has collected all the seventh-grade skills, he plans to collect the ninth-grade and eighth-grade skills.

The martial arts secrets on the bookshelf gradually become fewer as the grade increases.

There are still too many ninth-grade skills, but the seventh-grade skills are not so desperate.

Li Xuan certainly can't practice all these skills, but he can teach Princess Ankang in the future.

Princess Ankang has a special physique and learns skills at an extremely fast speed. Li Xuan has to prepare more skills to prevent her from having no skills to practice in the future.

"No matter how hard it is, you can't make your children suffer!"

"No matter how poor it is, you can't be poor in education!"

These two simple words have been echoing in Li Xuan's heart, worrying about Princess Ankang.

"Swish, swish, swish, swish..."

The crisp sound of the pages being turned by cat paws echoed on the third floor for a long time.

Li Xuan's spirit of racing against time to read books moved the heavens.

He was flipping through the book with great interest when he suddenly felt his vision darken and a shadow suddenly covered the book.

"What's going on?"

"There's something wrong with this broken bookshelf..."

Li Xuan was muttering in his heart, but when he looked up, he couldn't help but swallow nervously.

Old Ye appeared beside him at some point, staring at Li Xuan with a stern face and unfriendly eyes.

"Gudong."

Li Xuan made a clear sound in his throat and felt a little uncomfortable breathing.

Then he avoided Old Ye's burning gaze unnaturally and lowered his head again to continue reading.

However, this time, he turned the pages of the book with extra caution. The small cat paw gently rested on the pages, and the elastic pads of the cat pressed against the paper, and then gently brushed past like a spring breeze, causing the paper to turn silently.

Li Xuan lowered his head timidly, and turned a few more pages obediently, and the shadow on the book completely disappeared.

"Almost..."

In just a moment, Li Xuan's forehead was wet.

He felt like he had just circled around the gates of hell.

"This old man is really a troublemaker."

Although Li Xuan secretly complained about this, he did not dare to be as reckless as before.

"Forget it, this cat has qualities. It is also my duty to keep quiet in the library and take care of books."

Anyway, for the next whole day, there was no more "swish" of turning books in the library.

At night, Qianxing Pavilion closed on time again.

Li Xuan, who was almost sick of reading, was carried out by Princess Ankang. He closed his eyes tightly and refused to open them again.

Although he was at quantum speed, it was still very straining on his eyes. At this time, his eyes were sore and swollen, and his forehead was throbbing.

It seems that neither humans nor cats are suitable for such high-intensity reading.

But today's harvest is also very rich. Although it took a whole day, Li Xuan recorded all the seventh-grade exercises on the bookshelf.

It is really gratifying.

And at the end, he also started to record the ninth-grade exercises, which greatly supplemented his own exercise library.

However, there are too many ninth-grade exercises, and it may take a lot of time to record them all.

He just recorded some exercises temporarily to prepare for Princess Ankang, so as not to have insufficient ninth-grade exercises in the future.

"Although there are many ninth-grade and eighth-grade exercises, I should be able to record them all after a few more times."

"In this way, there will be no shortage of exercises in the future."

Li Xuan thought with his eyes closed.

At this time, Zhao Feng had already prepared the carriage, and the three little ones said goodbye to Ye Lao.

Li Xuan also opened his tired eyes and meowed obediently.

However, Mr. Ye did not rush back to continue sweeping the floor today. Instead, he asked Li Xuan curiously, "Little black cat, why do you read so many techniques?"

Mr. Ye knew that Li Xuan could learn techniques from books, but he was puzzled by his behavior.

Even if he could learn more techniques, what would be the use? As a creature with limited time and energy, it is impossible to learn all these vast techniques.

And there is no need at all.

After breaking through the realm, no one would continue to practice the previous level of techniques unless they have special effects.

Because compared with the effort, the gains are too little.

There is no cost-effectiveness at all, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a waste of life.

Li Xuan knew that Mr. Ye would raise this question one day, and he had already thought of a response in his heart.

He waved his tail in the air and wrote eight big words.

When Mr. Ye saw the eight words clearly, his eyes flashed and his expression was serious.

"A kitten, can it be so ambitious?"

Princess Ankang and Zhao Feng also saw the words written by Li Xuan in the air, but Yu'er read too slowly and only saw the first half of the sentence, so she was still a little confused.

Princess Ankang knew Li Xuan's temper, and she knew he was talking nonsense again. She just smiled lightly and said to Mr. Ye:

"Mr. Ye, his name is Ah Xuan."

"If you don't mind, you can call him by his name in the future."

Mr. Ye nodded and said seriously: "Ah Xuan? I'll remember it."

Zhao Feng raised his hand and wanted to say something to Mr. Ye, but he opened his mouth and gave up.

"Mr. Ye, you've worked hard today."

"We're leaving."

After Zhao Feng said goodbye to Mr. Ye, he sent the three little ones on the carriage and prepared to send them back to Jingyang Palace.

It was getting dark, and they had to be sent back before curfew, otherwise it would be too eye-catching.

There were already countless people who were dissatisfied with Princess Ankang's entry and exit of the East Palace. If they were to find some excuses, wouldn't they start a commotion again?

On the way back, Yu'er couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Your Highness, what did Ah Xuan write just now? I only saw the first half of the sentence clearly."

"Why do I think Mr. Ye's reaction is quite strong?"

Princess Ankang thought of this and felt funny. She pinched Li Xuan's two little ears and blamed him:

"It's obvious that Ah Xuan was naughty and deliberately teased Mr. Ye."

"He wrote eight words in the void to answer Mr. Ye's question."

"Those eight words are: study hard and make progress every day!"

"Mr. Ye didn't know Ah Xuan's temperament, so he naturally believed it."

Yu'er couldn't help but chuckle when she heard it.

"Ah Xuan, when you wrote the first four words, I thought it was outrageous enough. How dare you write the last four words?"

"How can you bully an old man like this? I think Mr. Ye took it seriously."

A smile appeared on Li Xuan's face.

He didn't mean to play a trick on Mr. Ye.

It's just that someone asked him why he studied hard, and he subconsciously thought of this sentence, so he used it as an excuse without thinking too much.

But looking at Mr. Ye's previous reaction, it was clear that he took it seriously.

At this time, Zhao Feng's voice sounded outside the carriage.

"Ah Xuan, then you'd better not let Mr. Ye see through your naughty nature, otherwise I won't be able to save you when the time comes."

"Mr. Ye will be angry and embarrassed, I'm afraid you will have to punish him."

"Meow? (Take the cat seriously?)"

Li Xuan couldn't help but get anxious when he heard this, and leaned over to the window, pushed open the curtains with his head, and looked at Zhao Feng in disbelief.

"Meow? (Old Master Ye is a top master in the palace, he wouldn't be so stingy as to argue with a cat, right?)"

Li Xuan's voice was trembling a little when he shouted, and Zhao Feng laughed happily when he saw that he was panicking.

But he couldn't help but sigh secretly when he recalled the eight words Li Xuan wrote earlier.

"Everyday up..."

"No wonder Old Master Ye said you are ambitious."

Zhao Feng couldn't help shaking his head as he looked at the little black cat that had its head sticking out in front of him, making funny noises, and was extremely anxious.

Once upon a time, when he had just come into contact with martial arts, he also had such ambitions, and practiced hard every day, just to make that insignificant progress, and get closer to the top little by little.

But as the time of practice became longer and longer, he gradually realized that the peak could not be achieved only by hard work.

But the next moment, Zhao Feng's eyes lit up when he looked at Li Xuan, and he thought to himself:

"But if you don't even have this kind of spirit and effort, you are even less qualified to climb."

"At least this qualification is something you can give yourself!"
