Gan Xiuming wandered around the back of the mountain alone, looking bored.
Six days have passed, and he has only scratched the surface of spiritual energy.
Many students in the school were pleasantly surprised to find that they were the same.
Even Shi Zixue, the ice-spirited woman whom he considered the perfect Daoist partner, had already drawn Qi into her body!
The school was in an uproar.
Many believe that a new generation of geniuses, no less talented than the sect leader and senior sister, is about to emerge.
Of course, this so-called sensational news only circulated among a small number of new students and some cultivators in the Qi Refining stage.
Few powerful figures above the Foundation Establishment stage would pay attention to a nobody who hasn't even entered the Qi Refining stage.
The best time to pay attention to promising new talents is during the new student trials.
After all, talent is important.
However, whether one can have the last laugh depends on their diligence and even luck.
For example, Sha Kun, the teacher of the Qi Induction and Body Cultivation course in the New Student Academy, is an old disciple who has reached the peak of the Qi Refining stage.
He was able to draw qi into his body on the twelfth day, which shows he has good talent and is just a little short of being a genius.
At first, he was also full of vigor and ambition.
However, he was seventy-eight years old when he finally entered the Star Rank, and remained stuck before the Foundation Establishment stage, unable to make any progress for a long time.
He is now nearing the lifespan limit of the Qi Refining stage, which is 150 years old.
If they still can't break through, it's estimated that the next freshman class will be taught by someone else.
Gan Xiuming has always believed that he is a genius and will become a powerful figure in the future.
His master knew some bone-reading techniques and often praised him as a natural-born immortal.
But now the top spot has been snatched away.
As another variant of spiritual root among the new students, it would be a disgrace if he failed to succeed as the second one.
So he left the house where he had been meditating for several days and went to the back mountain to seek new inspiration.
Perhaps more contact with the forces of nature will bring opportunities.
Unbeknownst to him, a figure nimbly landed behind him.
Although those who practice martial arts year-round have keen senses.
However, Tu Longjian has already entered the Qi Refining stage, which is equivalent to the next level.
In addition, the fortune teller has a natural shielding ability, making tracking undetected extremely easy.
"Eye of Foresight, open!"
As Tu Longjian's cold shout echoed in his mind, the fortune teller swiftly activated its skill.
A slightly transparent, illusory scene appeared in Tu Longjian's field of vision.
In his hallucination, Gan Xiuming found a rusty piece of iron under a peach tree.
He initially dismissed it.
But in an instant, he seemed to lose control of his body.
Like a marionette, following the golden thread of fortune, he picked up the piece of iron.
The moment he picked it up, his face lit up with joy and excitement.
He placed it on the acupoint on the top of his head and sat down to meditate.
An invisible vortex seemed to rise above his head.
A gentle breeze rustled through the leaves.
In a short while, an extremely pure spiritual energy flowed into Gan Xiuming's Baihui acupoint.
He actually managed to draw qi into his body.
Tu Longjian stared intently at the scene, knowing that this would happen in half an hour.
"Xiaoyi, do you know what that piece of iron is?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen the physical entity, so I can't scan it to determine its function."
"Easy, I'll lure him away and then we can get this item."
Xiaoyi hurriedly said:
"It's not that simple. That item appeared following the golden thread of fortune."
"As a treasure in the destiny of the chosen one, it will always follow him."
"You can only obtain it if he triggers the scene."
"Otherwise, why do people say that the luck of the chosen one is hard to snatch? They are all predetermined by fate."
After pondering for a moment, Tu Longjian revealed a confident smile, clearly having made up his mind.
The root cause of the problem was Gan Xiuming's frustration at being unable to attract Qi into his body first.
Then we can act around this cause.
Tu Longjian conjured up a gorgeous and elaborate costume for a fantasy character out of thin air and found a corner to change into.
She then took out a brand new set of cosmetics, applied them in front of the mirror, and created an extremely exaggerated cosplay makeup.
The phone that was taken out of the modern space will automatically turn transparent when it is taken out and used.
This taboo exists because electronic products are so detached from the development trajectory of the world, but clothing is not an issue.
Tu Longjian looked at himself in the mirror with satisfaction.
"How about that? It's hard to tell it's me, isn't it?"
"I stuffed 14cm insoles into my shoes, and my height changed."
"Although the hands appear short compared to the overall proportions, perhaps resembling a Tyrannosaurus Rex, the sleeves are long enough to cover them up."
Xiaoyi was dumbfounded:
"Even her own mother couldn't recognize her—it was like she had transformed into a completely different person."
"Why did you suddenly get this set of equipment?"
Tu Longjian adjusted the position of the brim of his hat.
"I've reached 25% progress in the last few days and unlocked the walk-in closet."
"I used to cosplay occasionally, but I haven't had time for it lately."
"But now that we're financially independent, of course we'll buy them and display them at home, haha."
"I bought several floors, and I've put a lot of things in them. It's going to get even more fun later on, so just look forward to it."
After changing his clothes, Tu Longjian gathered the spiritual energy around him and wrapped it around his body, giving him an ethereal and otherworldly appearance.
Xiao Yi activated the shield to protect her true identity, preventing her from being exposed immediately once the disguise was removed.
With everything ready, Tu Longjian took flight and landed lightly behind Gan Xiuming without a sound.
Gan Xiuming's gaze shifted to the grass, where a faint golden light appeared, a sign that a treasure of destiny was about to appear.
