Chapter 24: I Also Want to Enter the Grand Void Palace

Wei Yuan walked out of the hall door and saw Zhang Sheng and Sun Yu waiting in the square.

Seeing Wei Yuan, Zhang Sheng reached out and grabbed him, lifted him into the air, and disappeared.

In an instant, Zhang Sheng carried Wei Yuan and appeared in a quiet side hall, put him down, then circled him, bent down to carefully check Wei Yuan's pupils, and finally pinched him in various places, constantly asking: "Is there any hidden pain in the Primordial Spirit? Is there any restlessness in the mind? Have you seen any heart demons or illusions?..."

Zhang Sheng asked seven or eight questions, Wei Yuan shook his head one by one, Zhang Sheng was still not at ease, and a wisp of green brilliance shot from his fingertip, entering Wei Yuan's brow. As soon as this green Qi came out, Zhang Sheng's face turned pale again.

Sun Yu, who was watching from the side, asked: "Is there any worry? My teacher, True Person Ningxi, is proficient in medicine. If it really doesn't work, we can ask him to take action after returning to the palace."

Zhang Sheng sat down and said: "This is not a matter of medicine. The wisp of heavenly Qi-luck I gave Yuan'er is not enough to support the continuous use of 'Heaven-Earth Madman.' Yuan'er used a bit too much, maybe it's fine now, but I'm worried about Qi-luck backlash in the future, so I put a sword Qi in his sea of consciousness first. If there is a Qi-luck backlash, it can also block it."

Sun Yu was shocked and said: "You are acting on behalf of the calamity!! This, how can this be?"

Acting on behalf of the calamity is equivalent to going against the heavens, and the calamity suffered by oneself is likely several times that of the person on whose behalf one is acting, and if one is not careful, one will die and the Dao will vanish. That's why Sun Yu lost his composure.

Zhang Sheng raised his hand to stop Sun Yu and said: "I have already decided on this matter, no need to say more."

"But!..." A wisp of green sword Qi floated in front of Sun Yu, sealing all the words behind him.

Sun Yu sighed, and had to sit down unhappily.

Zhang Sheng flipped his hand, and a piece of jade paper appeared in his hand, handed it to Wei Yuan, and said: "This is your Dao test and literary test score, see for yourself."

Wei Yuan took the jade paper, and the scores on it were far beyond his expectations. The Dao test was fine, Wei Yuan had always been confused and didn't know what level others were at, but Wei Yuan had expectations for the literary test. According to what Zhang Sheng taught in the past, Wei Yuan felt that his literary test shouldn't be full marks, at least it should be twenty-eight or twenty-nine, it really couldn't be lower. As a result, more than ten points were actually deducted. This expectation and the final result were really too different. Could it be... that Zhang Sheng taught wrong?

Wei Yuan looked up suspiciously at Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng had lived with Wei Yuan day and night for three years, how could he not know the meaning in Wei Yuan's eyes, and suddenly jumped with rage: "Do you think I taught wrong?!"

Wei Yuan hurriedly lowered his head: "Disciple doesn't dare!"

"What doesn't dare! You clearly think so!" Zhang Sheng was even more angry.

Sun Yu came out to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, this child is the first in Feng Yuanjun County! For several sessions before and after, this unified examination in Feng Yuanjun County is probably unique in the entire Great Tang! Giving you such a long face, what else do you want? If you don't want to teach, just leave it to me?"

"Keep dreaming!" Zhang Sheng retorted directly to Sun Yu, then stared at Wei Yuan, his face showing signs of heartache, and said: "Because of this brat, I've been fined three years' salary! Sigh... my annual salary is actually quite high."

Sun Yu immediately felt the same, sighed and said: "Indeed, Junior Brother, please mourn."

Zhang Sheng took back the jade paper from Wei Yuan and asked: "Do you know the intention of me showing you this score?"

Wei Yuan shook his head: "Disciple doesn't know."

Sun Yu also shook his head: "Always playing riddles, can't you just speak directly?"

Zhang Sheng was a little embarrassed, coughed, and said: "The immortal path is dangerous, not a bit better than the human world. The difference between your expected score and the final actual score is proof. In the future, if you encounter an unsolvable dilemma, remember not to be brave, and when necessary, endure when you should endure. Keeping the green hills, not afraid of no firewood, this is mortal wisdom, but it is not outdated in the immortal path. For example, me, I have mastered the essence of hiding one's light and biding one's time, being able to bend and stretch. Thinking back then..."

Sun Yu sneered coldly from the side: "It sounds like you have ever endured!"

Zhang Sheng just pretended not to hear.

After Zhang Sheng finished his instructions, Sun Yu asked Wei Yuan with interest: "What is going on with those few wild boars?"

Wei Yuan said honestly: "When using the secret technique, besides myself, I also felt that I had a connection with many things around me, and I could attach Qi-luck to them. At that time, I was inconvenient to move and lacked a mount, so I tried to attach Qi-luck to a wild boar, and then it became bigger, and it could act according to my heart."

"Consumption?"

Wei Yuan thought carefully: "It seems there is no consumption, after the wild boar died, the attached Qi-luck came back by itself."

Sun Yu was stunned for a while before saying: "This is inconsistent with the Great Dao taught by the Ancestor? Driving phantom beasts and puppets, how can there be no consumption?"

But Sun Yu knew that Qi-luck techniques were not his strength, so he didn't dwell on it too much, turned to Zhang Sheng, and said: "This time Yuan'er ranked first, that child from the Yan family in the East Sea should have been squeezed out, Junior Brother, be careful in the future."

Zhang Sheng didn't care: "I have offended few people this time? It doesn't matter if there is one more Yan family."

At this time, the sky was already dark, so Zhang Sheng let Wei Yuan rest. Tomorrow morning, they would head to the Grand Void Palace.

At this very moment, in a magnificent hall of the Red Tide Sect, Bao Yun sat gracefully and quietly in her chair, saying softly and gently: "I don't care, I'm not going to the Great Da Da Bao Hua Jing Land, I want to enter the Grand Void Palace."

The young cultivator looked helpless and tried to persuade her bitterly: "Eldest Miss, this is not something that can be changed just by saying so. Besides, you have innate wisdom, and that ready-made Dharma Form in the Great Da Da Bao Hua Jing Land has been waiting for you for seven years! Transferring to the Grand Void Palace, not to mention anything else, just cultivating will require eating a lot of bitterness, and the Dao techniques cultivated will definitely not be as good as that Wish-Fulfilling Glazed Dharma Form."

Bao Yun was unmoved: "Father said, with my dual-heaven-A talent, no matter what I cultivate in the end, it is the same. I want to enter the Grand Void Palace."

The young cultivator could only smile bitterly: "This is really not a child's play, my Eldest Miss! If you are still thinking about that pig-riding kid, why don't I find a way to catch him and let you beat him up to vent your anger? You enter the Great Da Da Bao Hua Jing Land first, and then everything will be easy to talk about!"

Bao Yun said lightly and gently: "You can't beat his teacher, don't lie to me. I want to enter the Grand Void Palace."

"I can't beat him, but I can ask my teacher to come forward."

"His teacher also has a teacher, and your teacher can't beat True Person Master Fenhai either."

"I still have my grand-teacher!"

"That is also not True Lord Xuanyue's opponent."

Bao Yun blocked the young cultivator with a few words, then turned to an old man standing beside her and said: "Tell Father, I want to enter the Grand Void Palace."

The old man nodded, closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, there was an exquisitely packaged jade letter in his hand, saying: "The quota for the Grand Void Palace has already been brought, you just need to write your name and birth date."
