Chapter 48: Encountering a Hehuan Sect Charm Cultivators on the Road
Zhang Yunlu didn't think too much about it. After washing up, she changed into her school uniform and went to the rooftop, circulating her spiritual energy and forming hand seals.
A faint spiritual light lingered around her fingertips.
Soon, a wisp of faint purple qi was drawn out. After circling Zhang Yunlu once, she swallowed it in one gulp.
The purple qi sank down all the way, arriving in her Dantian, which was full of spiritual energy.
"Done."
Releasing her hand, she turned and went downstairs.
Because she didn't have an artifact to store the materials for refining the method, she could only use herself as a container.
She would release it later and use the moonlight's essence to refine it.
Although Zhang Yunlu found the Zi Yuan Guan Qi Method quite troublesome to cultivate, it was undeniable that this method was very effective, so she wasn't planning on giving it up.
She didn't go back home but came downstairs and, following her usual habit, bought some breakfast and ate it on her way to school.
She hadn't walked far when Zhang Yunlu suddenly felt something flash before her eyes, but when she looked up, there was nothing.
There was only a sanitation worker who looked like an Uncle, controlling four brooms to sweep the street using object manipulation techniques.
"Good morning, Xiao Lu," the Uncle said with a smile.
"Good morning, Uncle Ming," Zhang Yunlu replied.
She had previously asked Uncle Ming why he didn't use cleaning spells, as it was clearly faster and easier.
Uncle Ming, however, said it had more of a sense of ritual.
Erm... sweeping the floor needs a sense of ritual?
After exchanging greetings, Zhang Yunlu continued walking forward.
Uncle Ming watched her walk away, scratched his head, and muttered something in confusion.
"What's wrong with this girl? Her smile is so cold."
High in the sky, Li Fengping revealed his form, his heart still pounding.
Almost, he almost ran into her again.
He had encountered this Zhang Yunlu face-to-face twice. The first time, he was following her, and then he was beaten into a pig's head.
That time was his own fault for seeking it out, so he accepted it!
But the second encounter was truly just a chance meeting, and as a result, he was detained by the Si Lv Hall Hall Master again.
Although it wasn't for a long time, it was truly nerve-wracking, with every second feeling like a year. He even thought he was going to be silenced.
Nothing good came from running into her twice, so it's better to avoid her.
Zhang Yunlu was completely unaware of this. Although she had grown a lot after the trial, she wasn't powerful enough to detect a Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator who was deliberately hiding.
After some time, she arrived near the school, but saw an unexpected person outside the school gate—Xiao Fan.
Didn't he drop out?
Doubt flashed and disappeared in Zhang Yunlu's mind.
They weren't close, so she had no intention of going forward to greet him and walked directly through the school gate.
Later students passing by all looked at him a few times.
Pity, regret, schadenfreude, displeasure, all sorts of gazes.
The reason why he chose to become a false Dao Foundation had spread throughout the entire school. Some people felt he was pitiful, some were gloating, and others felt that what Xiao Fan did was unfair to other students, thus they were hostile towards him.
Not long after, there were few people left outside the school. Xiao Fan, who had hesitated for a long time, sighed.
"Forget it."
For over a decade, he had been cultivating step by step, all for the sake of getting into a good academy... and then continuing to cultivate step by step.
It would be best if he could join the Dragon Elephant Soaring Sky Sect. If not, finding a job after graduation and coming back wouldn't be bad either.
So after dropping to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, he came near the school, wanting to see if he could come back and continue attending classes.
But after he actually arrived near the school, he hesitated again.
How should he explain his situation?
His false Dao Foundation shattered, yet he was unharmed. Should he just say that this was all a fortuitous encounter given to him by the very mysterious 'Huo'?
Although he had limited experience, he knew that doing so would be extremely foolish.
"Let's go and quit my job first."
For a while, he didn't know what to do, so he could only go and quit that job first. After all, he had already dropped to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer and could no longer handle it.
...
"Let me tell you, Shishu, the fish I make is really delicious, even Master likes it very much."
Chi Jiuyu was wearing overalls today with an orange T-shirt underneath and a baseball cap. She was excitedly boasting about her cooking skills to Xu Xing.
In her right hand, she carried a large transparent box filled with water, with two golden spirit fish swimming inside.
"Back then, after I ate the nine fish Master gave me, she was so angry she hung me up and beat me. In the end, I had to catch a few fish and cook them for her before she forgave me."
Despite being under the same intensity, she was half-dead yesterday morning but full of energy today, truly having cockroach-like adaptability.
Moreover, she said this morning that she wanted to eat fish and insisted on dragging Xu Xing along with her to buy them.
"Don't you have a storage ring? Why don't you put them inside?"
"These fish can't be kept in a dark environment," Chi Jiuyu said, lifting the water box and shaking it. The two spirit fish were startled and swam around frantically. "It will affect the quality of the meat!"
"I remember the boss just now said these are ornamental fish, right?"
"What the hell does he know! These fish are delicious!"
The two walked and chatted, but most of the time it was Chi Jiuyu talking.
It was as if she had endless things to say.
After walking for a while, the two stopped by the roadside to wait for the red light.
"Everyone! I've arrived in Xuanjian City! Please hit follow, and this afternoon, the streamer will go find the ancient cultivator who came out of seclusion!"
A captivating female cultivator descended from the sky on colorful mist. Her purple palace-style long dress could not hide her exquisite figure, and every movement was filled with endless charm.
Many passersby had their eyes drawn to her.
A phone was suspended beside her, streaming live.
In Xu Xing's perception, wisps of vital energy and desire flowed out from the phone screen and converged into a sachet hanging from the female cultivator's waist.
These are today's Hehuan Sect cultivators?
"Shishu!"
"What is it?"
"I'm going to tell Master when I get back!"
"...". Xu Xing paused. "What are you thinking? I was just curious about her cultivation method."
"Just a Hehuan Sect Charm Cultivators. Someone like her, I can beat ten of them!" Chi Jiuyu said with a disdainful curl of her lip.
During the Immortal Sect Grand Competition, the Hehuan Sect was ranked last.
But this group of people not only showed no signs of disappointment, but one by one they were even grinning and recording videos. They had absolutely no ambition!
As a Sword Cultivator with lofty ideals, she was extremely contemptuous of this.
Jiang Yujiu didn't hear their conversation, but even if she had, she wouldn't have cared.
You've already joined the Hehuan Sect, and you still care about this kind of thing?
Then it can only be said that you are not a suitable Hehuan Sect cultivator.
In today's Hehuan Sect, Charm Cultivatorss need to constantly chase hot topics to maintain their popularity due to their special cultivation method.
It's a very simple principle: only with popularity will people watch, and only when people watch will there be vital energy and desire.
Therefore, the entire Hehuan Sect is extremely competitive. If not for the Ancestor setting some rules, such as no 18+, the Hehuan Sect cultivators would probably be even more frantic...
There's no other way. Vital energy and desire always accompany the cultivation path of Hehuan Sect cultivators. This situation will only improve somewhat after reaching the Combined Dao stage.
