At this time, a few maids had already finished serving the food and fruits. They all stood quietly aside, waiting for their master's orders.

"Open them all!" said the middle-aged man with a wave of one hand at the covered dishes.

A few maids immediately did so. But when they opened the lid, they saw that it was not a delicacies from the mountains and seas. It's a plate of miserable leftovers that have been eaten.

The faces of those present all changed drastically. Several of the maids were so frightened that they took two or three steps back.

The middle-aged man glared at the maids and shouted angrily, "What's going on?"

"I ...... We don't know!" said one of the maids in a panic.

"We really don't know anything about us, sir!" replied the other, too, in a panic.

Several maids looked at each other in horror for a while, and then one of them boldly said, "Could it be...... A thief in the kitchen?"

"It's possible. The old mage nodded in response.

"Let's go to the kitchen and let's go!" The middle-aged man got up and walked out briskly first. The rest of the people also followed and walked out of the wooden house.

Li Mengqi moved her body carefully behind the big rock. Let this big stone always keep between your body and the vision of the old magician and others, so that you will not be discovered. On the one hand, I was secretly glad in my heart that the magician was gone, and there was no one in the wooden house, leaving her a good opportunity. She planned to search the cabin. Let's see if we can find good things like martial arts cheats that are useful for my cultivation.

So, not far from the garden, when the magician had left the garden, she flew into the wooden house......

Soon, with her piercing eyes and dexterous steps, she quickly searched the wooden house. Unfortunately, even though she had searched up and down the wooden house, every nook and cranny, every strange hidden place she could think of, she still hadn't found the secret martial arts of the old mage she had been asking for.

As the minutes passed, Li Mengqi was worried that the old mage and his group would come back at any time. So, she decided to make one last effort. Take the big bookcase she had just searched and search again carefully.

It was a simple yet aesthetically pleasing, large mahogany bookcase. Judging from the different shades of size on the surface of the bookcase, the dark cracks in the color and the almost peeling topcoat, she judged that the bookcase was at least 35 years old. The books in the bookcase, she had already read. They are all miscellaneous books on self-cultivation and some very ordinary combat cultivation books on the market.

Li Mengqi walked over and began to look through each book carefully. She hoped to find something, if not a cheat, but an advanced combat training manual that was hard to buy on the market!

This old fellow is really cunning and cunning, and he refuses to put anything of value in the house. Thinking of this, she sighed in disgust as she hammered a wooden board on the bookcase with her fist.

An amazing scene happened!

The bookcase actually turned on its own after her blow. Then, a secret passage entrance made of stone bricks appeared in front of Qin Ruxue's eyes. A faint candle light is emitting from the secret passage.

The faint light seemed to have a kind of magic, teasing every sensitive nerve of the girl. She couldn't help but go in and find out.

However, Li Mengqi also knew that there must be many dangers hidden in a strange secret passage. Is she going in or not?...... Eventually, after a brief struggle of ideas. She convinced herself. She felt that with her own combat power, as long as she was cautious enough. It's more than enough to deal with a few ordinary hidden weapon traps. So, induced by a strong curiosity, she mustered up the courage to walk in cautiously.

Once inside, she gently closed the bookcase. The light in front of her suddenly dimmed, and at the same time, a cold and damp aura unique to the secret passage attacked her.

In this dark and dark environment, other women have long been discouraged. However, Li Mengqi is a female man, and she has more male hormones flowing in her veins than other girls. These hormones have made her already weak character a little more strong and brave, persistent and rational. So, at this moment, instead of the slightest fear retreating, her heart was full of curiosity and fanaticism! This dim light, this gloomy environment. It seemed to be a delightful prelude to her discovery of the treasure in the chamber!

Driven by this mentality, she only shivered slightly, rubbed her arms and palms back and forth a few times, and after increasing the temperature a little, she boldly walked forward.

Soon she carefully descended a dozen steps. There is a lit wall lamp not far ahead, and there is a fork in the road in front of the wall lamp. There are three paths to choose from. To be on the safe side, Li Mengqi picked up a few small pebbles on the ground and threw two or three pieces on the ground and walls of each road. There was no reaction at all. So she chose one of them, which looked smoother on the ground, and walked forward. Because she thinks that the smoother ground means that more people walk this road, it is relatively safer.

I didn't go far before the road suddenly opened up. A brightly lit hall appeared before her eyes. The décor of the hall is plain and beautiful, simple and functional. Next to one wall are various weapons and magic weapons. On the other two opposite walls, there are several delicate ink landscape paintings hanging on the walls, and a few gauze cushions and a few small coffee tables are neatly placed underneath. Next to the last wall, there are some props and items for mages and warriors to cultivate. Like what crystal balls, magic wands, wooden stakes, etc...... In the middle of the hall, a beautiful all-copper hydra wall lamp hangs from the top of the wall. The floor under the sconces is not decorated with carpet tiles, but is made of ordinary stones. There are already many rough and uneven and potholes in the stones that have been worn out. These are all the results of the hard work of cultivators!

Although Li Mengqi is a woman, her heart is a woman. I have always longed that one day I can also be like those famous high-level cultivators, and I can train a good fighting force. Don't say anything dominant, at least you can satisfy her vanity. Scoundrel...... Her family background was mediocre, and Qin Gang was not able to meet her various needs in terms of cultivation.

However, she was lucky enough to be here today. Witnessing the martial arts of two masters, witnessing so many essential items for cultivation. She suddenly felt that the distress and helplessness caused by funds on weekdays were nothing. At this moment, she seems to be one of the happiest people in the world.

As her satisfaction and vanity swelled. Li Mengqi's fragile conscience was once again overwhelmed by profit and greed. Since stealing books is not stealing, then stealing other cultivation items should not be counted either. She decided that no matter what, she couldn't miss this great opportunity in vain, and she must take something of value back.

Soon, she quickly and alertly looked through every item in the hall. She found that almost everything here was much better than the ones in her home or on the market. But what she cares about most is a small and delicate magic wand, and when she holds it in her hand, she obviously feels that her combat power has greatly improved. She speculated that it was a magic wand with excellent natural attributes, and that it had been upgraded to at least level 3.

Li Mengqi took the magic wand and looked at it carefully for a while. She found that the wand was also engraved with a row of beautiful small letters: 'Carmen Academy of Magic, Holder He Jiajue'

He Jiajue...... This name is so familiar...... Oh, I think about it, it's a well-known mage. I also have a book with a section on their family......'s martial arts! Although those martial arts are good, they are all ruthless kung fu. Most of them are practice methods that use poison or absorb the opponent's strength. Thinking of this, her mood was a little unhappy. But fortunately, when she thought about today's good fortune again, her mood became happy again!

With this optimistic assumption, she put her wand in her pocket and continued to the passage that led to another room, groping her way cautiously.

After a few moments, she noticed that at the end of the passage not far away, a dilapidated door was open. So, Li Mengqi walked in lightly and cautiously.

It is a small house with simple decoration. A row of low tables, one after the other, pressed against the wall, circled the room. Above is a row of wall cabinets, also close to the wall, circumnavigating the room. Tables and cabinets are filled with jars and jars and forms of herbs. It's clear it's a pharmacy!

Li Mengqi walked over and looked carefully. There are many strange and varied medicines here. Like the Bazhen soup used for cultivating life and qi, astragalus, the daughter of the wound and healing, the rose flower, and the highly poisonous Aracea, the crane top red and so on...... Wait a minute. Although Qin Ruxue had read a lot of books on medicinal materials, there were still many medicinal materials here that she couldn't name. Because of this, she watched more energetically.

Soon after, Li Mengqi picked two flowers that looked beautiful but couldn't be named, packed them in a canvas and put them in her pocket. Then satisfied, he walked out of the small pharmacy full of medicines.

However, he hadn't walked far out of the pharmacy when there was a rush of footsteps ahead. Before Li Mengqi could figure out how to dodge, a group of family members armed with sharp knives rushed in front of them and surrounded them.

The old magician and the gorgeously dressed middle-aged man just now also quickly appeared in front of her.

"You can enter my secret passage to steal things, you little doll really have a bit of guts and ability!" the middle-aged man exclaimed with malicious intentions.

"Mr. Zhu, don't talk nonsense with her. Let me clean her up. After the old magician finished speaking, he froze slightly. The wand in his hand immediately lit up with a faint light. The light quickly coalesced at the tip of the wand into a brighter ball of light. Then, the old magician waved his wand, ready to hit the ball of light towards Li Mengqi.

However, at this time, Li Mengqi had no intention of dodging. Because, in just a few moments from the time they first came into contact with each other, she had already thought of a clever plan in her heart.

What sparked the trick was the magic wand she had just stolen with small letters engraved on it. She speculated that it must have been the Old Magician's item. Because generally speaking, only high-level magicians are worthy of using such a high-level and delicate magic wand. And here he is the only high-level magician.

Then he recalled some of the books he used to flip through. One of them is a book that records the 'Carmen Academy of Magic' on the magic wand, as well as a list of some of the senior students in the academy and their deeds. Among them, there is such a record: A few decades ago, He Jiajue, a student of Carmen Academy of Magic, and his junior student Wan Yu. The two have won the title of 'Carmen Academy of Magic Duo Magic Tournament' for 5 consecutive times. Break school records and become the most promising magic apprentice in the school at the time. They also formed a strong friendship for this.

In addition, the book also records some of the things that happened to the two after they graduated and the magic they commonly used.

According to the above recollections, the clever Li Mengqi instantly made up a lie or conceived a clever plan.

"Uncle He!" Li Mengqi shouted to the old magician in a calm manner.

Hearing this, the old magician immediately lowered his wand and stopped casting spells.

"It's really you, Uncle He!" Li Mengqi said with a pretended surprise on his face. At the same time, he temporarily put Fan Xiaoqi on the ground.

"Master, how could this girl know your name?" the middle-aged man asked the old magician in surprise.

"I don't know much about this......" said the old magician, looking puzzled.

"Guess who I am?" asked Li Mengqi with a smile.

"Who are you?" said the old magician, surprised and suspicious.

"I am your junior brother Wan Yu's new apprentice, my name is Golden Lily. Li Mengqi continued to smile sweetly.

"Vomit ?......" the old magician's expression was slightly surprised.

"The master has been cultivating behind closed doors for several years, and he will soon reach the 5th order combat power. I am specially asked to come, please come to our village as a guest. Li Mengqi deliberately pretended to be a serious person.

The old magician touched his beard twice, thought for a moment, and continued, "Is it? Senior Brother Wanyu is cultivating so fast?"

"Yes, his old man said that before August 15th, he will definitely be able to reach the 5th level. Li Mengqi nodded immediately.

"Okay, you go back and tell him, and I'll go and congratulate him when the time comes." But...... How did he know I was here, and how did you get in?" said the old magician, with a look of joy.
