Chapter 41: Teacher, you might as well keep slacking off

Lu Xun still didn't know that he had already sparked a big discussion.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much.

He is neither a genius nor a madman, merely an ordinary system host.

Lu Xun now has his own worries.

The reason is nothing else.

Fu Xue, this big beautiful sister, has come again.

"Teacher Fu."

Seeing Fu Xue's bright eyes staring at him without blinking, as if appraising a rare treasure, Lu Xun felt his head swell.

"Lu Xun, is the Heaven Earth Meridian you just opened a spirit meridian?"

Fu Xue asked.

"Yes, Teacher."

Lu Xun answered.

"You've opened both a martial meridian and a spirit meridian, and even opened a Heaven Earth Meridian—your talent is rare in the world, but do you know how dangerous this is?"

Fu Xue asked again.

"Teacher, I feel it's okay."

Lu Xun answered again.

"I have a cultivation method that might help you solve this problem; the school leaders are all here, effective today, your mentor will be changed to me, and I will take responsibility for you from now on."

Fu Xue raised her voice, speaking firmly and without room for doubt.

"Here she comes, she's here."

Lu Xun's head felt as big as a pumpkin.

"Don't you already have a student with a Star Saint Body?"

"Why keep staring at yourself?"

"Big beautiful sister, you deserve better."

"Elder Fu, that's not enough."

Fei Tai'a's lazy voice sounded.

"The rescuer has arrived."

"Teacher Fei, you've come just in time."

Lu Xun gave him a thumbs-up.

"Teacher, you've finally come—how did my meridian turn out?"

Lu Xun hurried over.

"Not bad, not bad, worthy of being my student, Fei Tai'a."

Fei Tai'a smiled all over his face.

After praising Lu Xun, he took out a card and handed it to Lu Xun: "This card contains one hundred thousand units of Dark Energy, as a reward for this meridian opening; from now on, I will give you twenty thousand units each month as your teacher—I don't have much else, just more Dark Energy."

"One hundred thousand units of Dark Energy!"

"Whoa!"

The surrounding students were so envious their eyes seemed about to pop out.

Not to mention the students, even the teachers are envious.

Ordinary lecturers at Clear North are basically Third Realm cultivators; to them, one hundred thousand units of Dark Energy is also a huge sum.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

Lu Xun hurriedly and happily took it.

Another benefit of choosing Fei Tai'a arrived.

Fei Tai'a's Dao heart is broken, making lifelong advancement difficult; he also just gets by, not seeking progress.

This instead allows Fei Tai'a to store away Dark Energy.

Otherwise, like other Five Realm Grand Masters, even though obtaining Dark Energy is easier, the consumption for their own cultivation is also great.

"Good disciple, as your teacher I must also rally myself; I will definitely train you to become talented, so others won't laugh at our master-disciple pair."

Fei Tai'a's next words, however, were not quite right.

"Teacher, how did you also come?"

"First go exchange some elixirs or the like to consolidate, then three days later come to the training room of Diligence Building; I will personally supervise your cultivation."

Fei Tai'a continued.

"Oh no, he wants to make progress."

"Yes, Teacher."

The teachers all around, Lu Xun couldn't show any abnormality at this moment, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow it down.

"Forget it."

Seeing this scene, Fu Xue knew she had no chance again.

She shook her head and quietly left.

"Wow, Lu Xun once again rejected Fu Xue, firmly choosing Fei Tai'a, and Fei Tai'a is really generous, giving him one hundred thousand units of Dark Energy."

"Damn, one hundred thousand units!!! Can I still choose Fei Tai'a now?"

"Wake up, you don't even have a Heaven Earth Meridian—how can you choose?"

The news of Lu Xun's second rejection of Fu Xue spread quickly.

This time, because Fei Tai'a was overly generous, many students ended up envying Lu Xun instead.

Look, that's Lu Xun.

Is he Lu Xun? He's so handsome...

On campus, Lu Xun became completely famous, and the number of people who recognized him increased.

Brother Xun, dear dad, adoptive father... give me a strand of your Heaven Earth Meridian~

Li Bu Fan came running eagerly, looking for Lu Xun to pass on experience.

Recently, all he thinks about is opening the Heaven Earth Meridian; he's practically obsessed.

Three days passed in a flash.

During these three days, Chu Youqing sent Lu Xun a message sharing good news, but they didn't meet.

When the three days were up, early that morning, Lu Xun had no choice but to come to Diligence Industry Building with a bitter face.

This building contains many cultivation chambers.

Fei Tai'a was already waiting for Lu Xun in a cultivation chamber.

Lu Xun noticed that Fei Tai'a had changed into a new set of clothes, even tidied up his beard, appearing ready to turn over a new leaf.

Oh no.

Lu Xun's heart sank.

Teacher, what liquor is in your gourd? It smells so good.

Lu Xun's mind sparked, and he spoke before Fei Tai'a could.

This, this is Immortal Brew, it's top-grade spiritual liquor, I brewed it myself—money can't buy it.

Fei Tai'a looked pleased.

So it's you who personally brewed it; no wonder it's so fragrant and intoxicating. Teacher, may I have a taste?

Lu Xun showed a look of longing.

Here you go.

Fei Tai'a threw the gourd over.

Lu Xun opened the stopper, and the rich aroma of the liquor instantly filled the entire cultivation chamber.

Delicious!

Lu Xun poured a cup, drank it, and immediately started on a second.

Teacher, what is this liquor brewed from? It's simply too delicious...

Teacher, I toast you with a cup.

Teacher, I toast you again with a cup..

Thus, in the cultivation chamber, Lu Xun and Fei Tai'a drank cup for cup, exchanging glasses, enjoying themselves immensely.

Lu Xun, remember to cultivate according to the plan...

As they drank, Fei Tai'a's head tilted and he fell asleep.

Before sleeping, he still didn't forget to tell Lu Xun to cultivate.

My chaotic divine body is indeed amazing—I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

Lu Xun showed no sign of intoxication.

After thinking, Lu Xun fetched a thin blanket and covered Fei Tai'a with it.

Then he patted his hands and left.

Cultivation is impossible to cultivate.

In this lifetime, cultivation is impossible.

Lu Xun, yesterday when I woke up you were gone—what did you go do?

Teacher, I've been cultivating martial techniques; if you'd like, I can demonstrate for you.

The next day, Fei Tai'a came again.

Lu Xun felt overwhelmed.

After great difficulty choosing a laid-back instructor, the instructor ended up being moved by him and resolved to strive harder.

Who the heck can I reason with?

Fortunately, Lu Xun bluffed his way through using Myriad Traces Step.

Teacher, is there any more Immortal Brew?

Lu Xun started asking for alcohol again.

As expected, Fei Tai'a got roaring drunk again.

Lu Xun, this cultivation chamber has no usage record—are you slacking off?

No, absolutely not, Teacher, you don't need to stare at me like that; my progress is fast—just look, my Myriad Traces Step has improved again.

Not bad, just having movement techniques isn't enough; this is a sword method I created based on a nameless sword manual—the Great Exalted Sword Method, only the first five forms, I entrust to you to carry forward.

Fei Tai'a handed over a sword manual to Lu Xun.

Done.

Lu Xun was completely overwhelmed.

Over the next two days, although Lu Xun would get Fei Tai'a drunk each day, Fei Tai'a would still show up promptly the next morning.

Lu Xun felt that regret deep inside.

Other instructors just have the teaching assistant supervise.

Fei Tai'a, on the other hand, personally came to supervise.

And he still comes every day.

Fortunately, Lu Xun had hidden a little something, enough to get by.

Just continuing like this won't work.

"Teacher, your wine is so delicious; your wife must be the happiest person in the world."

Seeing that drinking was useless, Lu Xun tried a different approach.

That's just bringing up the sore spot.

Who would have thought that as soon as Lu Xun spoke, Fei Tai'a felt unwell.

He picked up the wine gourd and glug-glug poured it into his mouth.

"Come, drink."

Fei Tai'a proactively poured wine for Lu Xun.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Lu Xun thought.

The next day, Fei Tai'a didn't come.

The third day, Fei Tai'a still hadn't shown up.

"Is the impact really that big? Sorry, teacher, you might as well continue to deteriorate."

Lu Xun apologized verbally, but inwardly he let out a big sigh of relief.

Finally, he could finally lie down in peace.
