To be fair, Shang Lin's impression of Cheng Qiao was neither good nor bad. He only knew that Cheng Qiao was a cultivator, but he had no idea what kind of cultivation method he used.

Of course, Shang Lin didn't care about these things. After all, each sect has its own unique cultivation methods, and even some secret techniques. It's impossible for him to understand each one he meets. Besides, not all cultivation methods are suitable for one person.

But how long has it been since Cheng Qiao and the others last saw each other? How come he's cultivating and has even produced turbid energy? That's not the main point. The main point is that his classmates, who are all ordinary humans, have also been affected by his turbid energy.

Could it be that Cheng Qiao has practiced some kind of evil magic, or even forbidden magic?!

Some practitioners with weak willpower encounter bottlenecks in their cultivation, or bottlenecks that they cannot overcome no matter what they do. They are easily seduced by evil or forbidden arts, and then tricked by those with ulterior motives...

No, even the casual words of an unintentional person can become a bottleneck for someone, an indication of practicing evil or forbidden arts! Shang Lin sighed slightly. It is very important for a cultivator to have a strong will, so that they are not easily bewitched.

Hmm? That doesn't make sense. At Cheng Qiao's age, he shouldn't be experiencing any cultivation bottlenecks, and his family members are also cultivators, which should be helpful to his cultivation. So what's going on with Cheng Qiao right now?

Shang Lin stood in the middle of the class line, silently observing Cheng Qiao. However, the environment during the morning exercise was too noisy, and all the students in the school were there, which really affected his observation.

Forget it, let's leave it to the little snake. After all, he investigated Cheng Qiao before, and now let him learn more about it. I just don't know how well the little snake has absorbed the pills these past few days.

When Shang Lin returned to the classroom, he suddenly remembered something: the Divine Medicine Sect was besieged on the night of the Blood Moon, and when he went to rescue them, he accidentally saw Cheng Qiao's blood relatives, who were dead.

Later, I didn't pay much attention to this matter, and Cheng Qiao didn't seem to react much either? In short, I didn't notice anything special about him.

Of course, it's also possible that they're not in the same class, so there are some details I don't know. So I'll let Little Snake investigate.

After the class reshuffle, Cheng Qiao naturally saw Shang Lin much less. However, in those rare moments, every time he saw him, he noticed that Shang Lin's cultivation had improved. They were classmates, and basically the same age, so why...?

How could the gap between them be so large?

Moreover, Shang Lin is not only skilled in cultivation, but also in learning. He seems to be good at everything, and even his appearance surpasses that of most people. He is practically a god-like being.

With the support of a lineage of demon hunters and his family, his cultivation journey had been relatively smooth, but...

With these two powerful allies suddenly disappearing, his cultivation path was almost cut off. How could he accept this?

At noon, as soon as Shang Lin got home, he asked Chi Xie, "Can't the little snake leave the tower yet?" The absorption of the medicine is too slow, isn't it?

Red Scorpion looked at Shang Lin with some dissatisfaction and asked, "What? Sect Master doesn't want me to accompany you, you only want Little Snake to accompany you?"

Shang Lin, "..."

What kind of nonsense is this? And am I a child? Do I need someone to accompany me?

The next second, he said with a hint of helplessness, "You're a great demon, why are you being so dramatic? I asked the little snake because I have something to say."
