Chapter 50

There were actually embellishments on the path of immortal cultivation. For example, Bao Yun was not reconciled to her last failure and arranged another fight with the Zhigu Sect. This time, Little Wei Yuan also started body forging, finally able to trade blows back and forth.

The students were all arrogant and didn't submit to anyone, so the general instruction Cui Yu and Bao Yun could give was just "Charge for me." Even if the Dingxin Sect was actually a mess, it quickly turned into a chaotic battle once they started fighting.

Little Wei Yuan discovered that a chaotic battle was completely different from a martial arts test, and it was particularly awkward to fight. When he wanted to throw a punch, one of his own people would happen to block his path, and when he wanted to dodge, he didn't know who had stepped on his foot; in short, everything was going wrong, and he was being sabotaged by his own people in every way.

As the saying goes, when one side is in trouble, eight sides add to the chaos.

So Little Wei Yuan was trapped in a heavy encirclement and beaten black and blue again.

However, after body forging, Little Wei Yuan's body was much stronger; he was pressed and beaten by more than a dozen people for half a day without any broken bones or tendons, and even skin and flesh wounds were barely there, but the people beating him were exhausted. It was just that after the fight, Little Wei Yuan had quite a few bruises on his body, and his face didn't look very good.

After two fights, the students participating in the centralized teaching were all labeled with the Dingxin Sect tag, and they were at odds with the Zhigu Sect disciples. A few months later, Bao Yun and Cui Yu launched a revenge war, and given Little Wei Yuan's strong performance of holding off more than a dozen people last time, he was publicly recommended to hold his own.

By this time, most of the students had completed tendon and muscle forging and entered blood refining, and a small number had already started bone refining. Therefore, everyone's physical strength had greatly increased, and things like leaping several dozen feet or shattering stones with a punch were common. The Taichu Palace disciples were gathered geniuses, each with various divine abilities, and every time they exerted force, they were surrounded by various colored ribbons and rainbows; regardless of combat power, the momentum had to be maximized.

So everyone fought flying through the sky and escaping the earth, with flowing light and brilliant colors, and various divine beasts and immortal demons appeared in the air; even when the Three Immortals stabilized Yunzhou back then, it wasn't this flamboyant.

But no matter how immortal and brilliant they started, it eventually turned into a hand-to-hand chaotic battle, with you in me and me in you, and teammates appeared around Little Wei Yuan.

And then Little Wei Yuan was beaten black and blue.

Fortunately, eating three Foundation-Nurturing Pills every day, Little Wei Yuan was even thicker-skinned than last time, and the punches and kicks landing on him weren't too hard to bear. This kind of fight was considered a sparring session, so both sides were empty-handed and couldn't use other people's magic treasures; otherwise, if someone took out a magic sword and poked Little Wei Yuan, Little Wei Yuan wouldn't be able to take it either. Little Wei Yuan also discovered that as long as they didn't use weapons, even those who were bone refining didn't hurt much when they hit him.

Of course, Little Wei Yuan had his own sense of proportion, knowing that this was reality and not the illusionary realm of the martial arts test, so he didn't feel embarrassed to use the Heaven-and-Earth Madman.

After the fight, Bao Yun almost cried when she saw Little Wei Yuan's appearance. However, Little Wei Yuan held off more than twenty people on the opposite side in this battle, allowing Cui Yu and Bao Yun to destroy the enemy elsewhere, and finally won this battle. This battle was the first victory for the Dingxin Sect, and everyone was in high spirits, except for Little Wei Yuan.

Afterward, Bao Yun felt bad in her heart, took the initiative to find Little Wei Yuan, comforted him with soft words for a long time, and privately forced ten thousand taels of immortal silver on him. Little Wei Yuan initially refused to take it, but Bao Yun said it was just a loan and not a gift, talking about fellow disciple friendship and fellow villager relations, and finally brought up Zhang Sheng, only then did Little Wei Yuan reluctantly accept. In terms of cultivation realm, Little Wei Yuan was indeed dragging the whole class down.

By this time, the one hundred thousand immortal silver in the class public account had been used up seven or eight-tenths, and the effect was also very obvious; with sufficient resources and pills, the cultivation progress of most students in the Dingxin Sect far exceeded expectations, and the average progress had already left the Zhigu Sect behind by a stretch.

After more than a year of getting along, Little Wei Yuan now had some intuitive understanding of the strength of the noble families, and he would no longer have the strange idea that Bao Yun taking out tens of thousands of taels of immortal silver would affect her life.

Having taken Bao Yun's ten thousand taels, Little Wei Yuan's private debt now exceeded thirty thousand taels. Among them, six thousand taels were for study-related resources, and fifteen thousand taels were borrowed from the public account. Ever since the immortal silver he owed exceeded one thousand taels, Little Wei Yuan's mentality had undergone a subtle change; the money he owed seemed to be just a number, and he would no longer be so anxious that he couldn't sleep, and he was more calm and composed when borrowing money.

Having won this fight, the Dingxin Sect students were in high spirits, and a few days later, Cui Yu announced that he would personally add fifty thousand taels to the public account, Bao Yun followed up with fifty thousand taels, and Xiaoyu followed up with fifty thousand taels. So all the students were in unprecedentedly high spirits, except for Little Wei Yuan.

Little Wei Yuan inhaled and exhaled moonlight.

Days could always be endured, and as he endured, before he knew it, it was the third year.

According to the teacher of Heaven and Earth Theory, this year a giant invisible star would move between several other equally invisible giant stars, bringing misfortune and chaos. As for how he knew how an invisible giant star moved, this teacher lectured for three full classes, listing a bunch of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, drawing countless figures that didn't look like circles, and Little Wei Yuan didn't understand it at all, and no one in the class could understand it either.

The teacher of Destiny Theory said that the great destiny of heaven and earth was beginning to ripple, time and fortune were flourishing to the point of decline, the national destiny was turbulent, and human destiny was experiencing great ups and downs. He also listed a bunch of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and no one understood.

The Senior Martial Sister of Dao Foundation Theory, Liuli, said that cultivating a Dao Foundation this year would have an extra killing bonus, and the students were so excited that they took the initiative to practice more after class.

Finally, the teacher of Art Theory was replaced, not talking about alchemy or artifacts, but talking extensively about shamanism, divination, and curse techniques and poison arts; the number of people meditating and cultivating in class suddenly decreased a lot, and everyone listened particularly carefully.

Little Wei Yuan used the divination technique he had just learned to calculate for himself, and the hexagram said: Loss of wealth.

Little Wei Yuan felt that he hadn't learned Art Theory well.

However, to be safe, he still decided to find time to go to the East Sea to have a good chat with Yan Ming and make friends. After all, they were fellow villagers.

In short, the twelfth year of Longwu of the Great Tang was destined to be an eventful autumn.

Not long after the beginning of spring, Little Wei Yuan noticed that the atmosphere in the sect was a bit strange.

On this day, it was time to refine his foundation again, and Little Wei Yuan came to the Council Hall as usual; as soon as he entered the small courtyard, he saw the Senior Martial Sister sitting in the room, playing with an orchid in her hand.

That orchid was extremely beautiful, permeated with spirituality and immortal opportunity, making Little Wei Yuan subconsciously look at it a few more times, and the more he looked, the more he felt it was not a common item. However, he immediately noticed a detail: that orchid had no roots, and the end of the stalk was constantly scattering into countless brilliant stardust, then disappearing, beautiful beyond compare.

How could there be such an orchid in the world?

Before Little Wei Yuan could marvel, he heard Seeing Ji Liuli say: "Hurry up, what are you dawdling for!"

Seeing Ji Liuli was not talking to Little Wei Yuan; Little Wei Yuan then discovered there was another person in the room, busy in front of the medicine cabinet, putting bags of processed medicinal materials into the corresponding compartments.

This man, who was like water, was truly too dazzling; although he had only seen a side profile once, Little Wei Yuan recognized this person: Xu Henshui.

At this moment, he was holding a few herbs in his hand, hesitating and unwilling to put them into the medicine cabinet. Seeing Ji Liuli just sneered, her hand sliding up the stem of the orchid, finally gripping the flower.
