Chapter 4

Ning Jiaotou Ning Ning Yuchan took a little care of Xu Jin; it was said that his father Xu Dajiang knew her, and when he first entered the Hu Jinshan Dao Academy, it was also through Ning Jiaotou Ning Ning Yuchan that he paid the silver, but this kind of care was limited to occasional guidance during cultivation, and she had never looked for him alone. What was she looking for him for in the middle of the night?

"Not coming to evening class in the middle of the night, where did you run off to?"

"Could it be that your dad just gave you some silver today, and you went out to mess around?"

As soon as he entered the room, Xu Jin was stunned.

Usually, Ning Jiaotou Ning always wore a veil outside, and he could only see her long legs, but unfortunately, she had an iron crutch, so he couldn't see what she looked like.

But today, perhaps because she was seeing Xu Jin in her private courtyard, she didn't wear a veil, which allowed Xu Jin to see clearly.

Her nose bridge was high, her willow eyebrows were slender, faintly having the posture of fine sword eyebrows, her lips were red and her teeth were white; placed in his past life, she was also a standard beauty, but at this moment, her apricot eyes were wide open, her body was leaning forward, and her chest seemed unable to be contained, making Xu Jin look sideways.

But Xu Jin, who knew this person's temper, didn't dare to look more, glanced at her, and then lowered his head to be scolded. After Xu Jin entered the academy, Ning Ning Yuchan gave him a lecture, her eyebrows raised and eyes wide, and she even raised her iron crutch, looking like if Xu Jin said yes, she really might break his leg.

The posture of the Jade Rakshasa.

Xu Jin quickly denied it, saying that he just didn't feel very well, but Xu Jin was curious, how did Ning Ning Yuchan know that Xu Dajiang had come today?

"It's good that you didn't.

If I let you know that you took your dad's and little sister's hard-earned money to eat, drink, and play, see if I don't break your leg." Ning Ning Yuchan directly raised the iron crutch in her hand.

"Also, even if you have some illness, you have to come out and persist in cultivation.

What kind of sick leave does a man ask for?

On the path of cultivation, perseverance is first.

If you have no perseverance, let alone an ordinary person, even a genius will become a waste.

You must never give up until the last moment!"

Another lecture, Xu Jin quickly nodded, "Thank you, Ning Jiaotou, for your teaching, I have remembered it."

"Here, take this."

After lecturing, Ning Jiaotou Ning actually took out a medicine bottle and gave it to Xu Jin.

"Ning Jiaotou, what is this?"

"This is a Spirit-Awakening Pill refined by the Star Pill Master in the Dao Academy. After taking it, it can refresh the mind and brain, and can to a certain extent enhance the cultivation effect of morning and evening classes. There are ten pills inside; you can take one before each cultivation, and the possibility of successfully pointing stars will be greater." Ning Jiaotou Ning said.

Ning Ning Yuchan said it clearly, but Xu Jin didn't dare to accept it on the spot.

Where in this world is there any good without reason? Xu Jin knew about the Spirit-Awakening Pill; one pill cost five taels of silver, and in this Star-Pointing session of the Dao Academy, many wealthy disciples were using it.

Some who used it did successfully point stars.

There were also a few who had been using it and hadn't successfully pointed stars yet.

The key was the value.

Ten pills were fifty taels of silver, which was a huge sum, so he couldn't accept it without knowing why.

"Ning Jiaotou, what is this?"

Seeing Xu Jin inquire, a look of appreciation flashed in Ning Ning Yuchan's eyes; this child Xu Jin was actually not bad, it was just his body.

"Your dad came to find me this afternoon, gave me silver, and begged me to help you find a pill master to buy it. In the morning and evening class time for the remaining few days, you can take one before class; it will be helpful for your Star-Pointing."

Xu Jin's heart was shocked at this moment.

Fifty taels!

Where did Xu Dajiang get so much silver?

For Xu Jin, the family's farmland had long been sold.

The only three old houses that hadn't been sold weren't worth this much money either.

And, "begged".

"Why are you so good to me"

"Cultivate well, don't waste your dad's painstaking efforts, and strive to successfully point stars."

After Xu Jin thanked her, he left with the Spirit-Awakening Pill, his heart feeling a bit heavy, but more filled with fighting spirit.

He must successfully point stars.

He must live, he must earn silver.

Returning to the large dormitory, Xu Jin lay down and closed his eyes, carefully studying the Arena.

That star lamp seemed a bit strange, but its function was currently unknown.

That wisp of starlight floating on the Arena seemed to be able to be guided by Xu Jin's mind, but Xu Jin didn't dare to try it blindly at this moment.

Amidst research and pondering, Xu Jin also fell into a deep sleep; he had experienced a lot today, and with the ups and downs of his heart, he was also quite tired.

The next day, the youths were still awakened by the rapid sound of wooden clappers and arrived at the morning class plaza.

Some youths were full of spirit, while some youths, feeling that Star-Pointing was hopeless, were somewhat decadent.

"Brother Jin, there are only six days left, can we successfully point stars?" Qian Qian Xiaohu, who was standing beside Xu Jin, had no results in Star-Pointing for nearly three months, and at this time, he had also lost confidence.

"Isn't there still six days?"

"Never give up Star-Pointing until the last moment when the star pattern disappears!

As long as you work hard and persist, you will have a harvest."

Qian Qian Xiaohu's spirit was lifted, but Xu Jin himself was also a bit uneasy, not knowing if the Spirit-Awakening Pill was useful.

"Mist emerges, Meal of Mist Stance, rise!"

Ning Jiaotou Ning's voice rang out, and one by one, the youths moved their steps and squatted, taking the Meal of Mist Stance, but Xu Jin swallowed a pill first.

Qian Qian Xiaohu and the youths around him saw it, but no one was surprised.

It was normal for this sick person Xu Jin to take medicine.

But today, Xu Jin took a Spirit-Awakening Pill.

Not only the Spirit-Awakening Pill, but after swallowing the Spirit-Awakening Pill, Xu Jin also swallowed a Heart-Saving Pill he usually used for emergencies. Try both together.

In a moment, a cool feeling rushed straight to his forehead, a feeling like eating mint; Xu Jin felt that not only was his mind clearer than ever before, but he was full of spirit, that kind of unprecedented spirit.

This Spirit-Awakening Pill felt quite powerful.

Xu Jin immediately entered the cultivation state, inhaling and exhaling, visualizing the star pattern, contemplating the morning mist between heaven and earth being inhaled into his mouth and nose, and guiding it toward the star pattern on his chest.

After three or four breaths, the star pattern on Xu Jin's chest began to flicker.

This speed was much faster than before.

The Spirit-Awakening Pill was really effective.

In less than ten minutes, Xu Jin felt the star pattern on his chest begin to heat up, and the star pattern on his chest also began to change from flickering to constantly lit.

Xu Jin was overjoyed.

This was a sign that he was about to successfully point stars.

The star pattern began to heat up and then burn, and it would slowly be branded into the skin texture and even the bones, and the star pattern would also begin to be constantly lit.

Usually, as long as the star pattern remained constantly lit for more than a quarter of an hour, the star pattern could be completely solidified on the chest, and then Star-Pointing would be successful.

The star pattern on his chest became hotter and hotter, but the time the star pattern remained constantly lit soon lasted for a hundred breaths, two hundred breaths, three hundred breaths.

In the distance, Ning Jiaotou Ning's iron crutch landed without sound, and she slowly leaned toward Xu Jin's direction, her eyes full of expectation.

Four hundred breaths, five hundred breaths, six hundred breaths.

The star pattern on his chest became hotter and hotter, but it became more and more comfortable, almost crisp to the bones.

Xu Jin was more focused.

The hope of successfully pointing stars today was very great.

Especially up to now, Xu Jin hadn't had an attack.

This might be because of the Heart-Saving Pill he took beforehand.

But at this very moment, Xu Jin suddenly felt that the hot current in the star pattern on his chest was strangely flowing outward, flowing toward the direction of his heart in the left chest.

In an instant, his heart in the left chest began to ache.

Xu Jin's heart tightened, and the star pattern on his chest, which had been constantly lit, suddenly became dim.

Especially since the hot current in this star pattern was continuously flowing toward the heart, making the constantly lit star pattern dimmer and dimmer, and it actually began to flicker again.

Ning Jiaotou Ning, who was approaching in the distance, suddenly stopped, helplessness appearing in her eyes.

Was it not working again?

"Don't!"

Under tension, Xu Jin tried his best to operate the Meal of Mist Stance, wanting to absorb a little more star mist light into his body, but the more nervous and harder he tried, the worse the effect of absorbing the star mist light became.

Bang bang bang!

Xu Jin's heart suddenly began to beat wildly again like a beating drum.

"It's happening again!"

Xu Jin sighed inwardly, but he didn't mess up his own pace, but moved his mind slightly, directly guiding the wisp of starlight floating on the Arena.

Last night, Xu Jin had already tried it; this wisp of starlight from the Arena could be guided by his mind.

In the feeling of Xu Jin's cultivation just now, this wisp of starlight was similar in nature to the star mist light he absorbed into his body, just purer and in larger quantity.

The next moment, this wisp of starlight on the Arena was directly guided by Xu Jin into the star pattern on his chest.

Almost at the same moment, the star pattern on Xu Jin's chest, which had dimmed, suddenly became bright and piercing, and his chest was hot and burning.

Ning Jiaotou Ning, who was observing Xu Jin in the distance, even felt her eyes flashed by this star pattern brilliance.

At the same moment, the star pattern, which had been filled, suddenly surged out a large amount of starlight, rushing toward Xu Jin's heart in the left chest.

Xu Jin's heart was first hot, then burning, then sharp pain, and after involuntarily letting out a muffled groan of pain, Xu Jin went black before his eyes, his body tilted, and he directly collapsed in a coma.

But the star pattern on the chest of Xu Jin, who had collapsed in a coma, still maintained a constantly lit state.

"Brother Jin!"

Qian Qian Xiaohu, who was cultivating on the side, stopped cultivating, pounced over and wanted to feed Xu Jin medicine, but was stopped by Ning Jiaotou Ning who arrived in an instant.

"Don't move him, you continue to cultivate."

"Oh."

A group of youths who were startled also saw the difference at this time; he was in a coma, but the star pattern was still constantly lit.

Was this successfully pointing stars?

Many people had envious looks in their eyes.

But as time passed, after several hundred breaths, the star pattern on Xu Jin's chest gradually extinguished, and everyone had doubtful looks in their eyes again.

Did he successfully point stars or not?

Ning Ning Yuchan bent down, placed two fingers on Xu Jin's carotid pulse, felt Xu Jin's increasingly strong pulse, and joy appeared in her eyebrows.

Whether Star-Pointing was successful or not, she couldn't tell by feeling the pulse.

But she could be sure that today's morning class had already cured Xu Jin's congenital disease.

She had felt Xu Jin's pulse several times; although he was a youth, his pulse had always been weak and powerless, never as strong as this time.

It seemed that the famous doctor's advice to Xu Dajiang was true.

Trying Star-Pointing could really cure congenital disease!
