Chapter 33: The Abandoned Young Master Long Aotian
To avoid being startled by any stimulating news, Wu Lingnan wisely chose to skip over the so-called "famous name." Considering the lack of trust between the three of them, she tactfully stopped there:
"Now that we've gotten to know each other, let's start searching the surroundings for any spiritual creatures."
In the short time that the three of them were talking, many students had already started to take action. Wu Lingnan's eyes fell on the token, and she had a bad feeling in her heart. She never expected that this token could also have the function of projecting the points ranking in real time. It can only be said that the school is really a bunch of idiots.
Could it be that this token also has the function of displaying the holder's location in real time? Wu Lingnan's eyelids twitched. She felt that based on the sinister rules set by the school, they would definitely and surely do something that would disgust everyone.
But compared to being besieged and whipped by his mother's love, his mother's beautiful face was more terrifying. Wu Lingnan did not dare to delay any longer. The three of them showed their magical powers and explored the surrounding spiritual creatures and beasts.
An hour passed, and the three found nothing...
Finally, a tiny dead leaf butterfly gently landed on Wu Lingnan's slender fingertips. Its wings fluttered, and fine phosphorus powder fell. Wu Lingnan's eyes flickered with a hint of surprise: "Looks like there's something interesting up ahead!"
"Let's go together." Xiang Gucheng glanced at Zhuge Yu who was strolling around as if he was on a picnic. He was deeply suspicious of how this guy got into Huachen College. He was so leisurely, which made him clench his fists.
Wu Lingnan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go alone. We're too far behind now." This place looked beautiful with green mountains and clear waters, and overflowing with spiritual energy, but there was no trace of any spiritual beasts or herbs at all. It was really strange.
"Besides, with my cultivation level, I can easily escape if I encounter any danger." You two should look somewhere else to improve your efficiency. If this place is really so barren, they can leave here as soon as possible.
Upon hearing this, thinking of his junior sister's poison skills inherited from the master and her cultivation that was the best among all the freshmen, Xiang Gucheng nodded slightly and chose to go to the other side with Zhuge Yu to look for her so that they could keep an eye on this guy's every move.
Zhuge Yu seemed to have no objection and casually let Wu Lingnan and the others make the decision. When they were about to part, his expression changed slightly and he glanced at Wu Lingnan as if he felt something, but in the end he said nothing.
Wu Lingnan glanced at Zhuge Yu with a sense of realization, but didn't notice anything wrong, so he put aside his doubts, stood up and followed the phosphorus powder scattered by the butterfly Gu.
Her nimble movements allowed her to perfectly hide her figure among the woods. Her breathing was in tune with the natural rhythm of the forest. The gentle breeze blew away the light mist in the forest, clearing the obstacles and guiding the way for the forest's favorite child.
Wu Lingnan quietly hid beneath the shade of the trees, observing the situation from the shadows. Strangely enough, even Wu Lingnan's mother was surprised at her daughter's affinity with wood-based techniques. Fortunately, wood and poison were inseparable, and the Five Immortals Sect's supreme mental method didn't discredit her daughter's talent.
Wu Lingnan carefully expanded his spiritual sense and looked with bated breath. He saw a clear lake surrounded by trees. Above the rippling water, a slightly intoxicating mist floated up. It was so beautiful that it looked like a fairyland. In the middle of the emerald clear lake, a nine-petal fairy lotus stood proudly.
Its shy buds, about to bloom, sway slightly in the breeze, like a beautiful girl who lifts her veil and admires her own reflection. Rich spiritual energy gathers around it, condenses into drops, and a drizzle falls, splashing layers of ripples.
Seeing such a beautiful scene, Wu Lingnan did not feel any appreciation at all. She widened her eyes and a blush rose on her snow-white face. She barely managed to avoid exclaiming.
It’s released, it’s released, it’s released now!
It turned out to be a fifth-grade spiritual medicine - the Nine-Turn Heavenly Lotus! No wonder there were no spiritual creatures here. With the domineering Nine-Turn Heavenly Lotus, it would not allow other spiritual plants to snatch its glory.
As long as I can get it, I can immediately counterattack. Those guys ahead of me in points are all weaklings, okay?
Wu Lingnan could hardly hide her excitement, but she controlled herself because she had already noticed that an uninvited guest had noticed this treasure before her and was heading carefully towards the lake.
Oh, treasures belong to those who are destined to get them.
This person is only in the early stages of foundation building, and there is no way he can keep such a treasure. This treasure is destined to fall into the hands of me, the destined person, hehehe——
A sharp look flashed across his eyes, and Wu Lingnan quietly followed the uninvited guest, wanting to seize the treasure as soon as he saw the opportunity.
"Teacher, this Nine-Transformation Heavenly Lotus is indeed one of the ingredients in the Soul-Constructing Pill."
Even with Pei Yichen's temperament, his heart trembled slightly when he suddenly encountered such a treasure. He was afraid that he was not skilled enough and recognized the wrong treasure, so he asked his master for confirmation again.
"Indeed, Huaqing College is worthy of being the number one university in Daxia. Yet, such a treasure has been carelessly allowed to grow freely in this small secret realm." Elder Du, whose spirit resided in the necklace ring around Pei Yichen's neck, could not help but sigh. "After so many years, the world is truly changing rapidly. With this Nine-Transformation Heavenly Lotus, the Soul-Shaping Pill only needs two main herbs. Your talent may be reshaped."
Hearing what Old Du said, Pei Yichen's eyes became even more fiery. He looked at the Nine-Turn Heavenly Lotus with a tender look as if he was looking at his beloved lover. He had had enough of the days of humiliation in the Pei family. If he had not accidentally activated the spirit ring and awakened Old Du, Pei Yichen might not have been able to break through the third level of the Qi training period.
Old Du was originally a great master in the Spirit Transformation Stage. No one knows what happened to him but now only a trace of his soul remains, barely surviving in the world. Even Old Du himself cannot recall that memory. Although his strength is gone, he has not lost his sharp vision as a great master in the Spirit Transformation Stage and his skills as an eighth-grade alchemist.
Under Elder Du's guidance, Pei Yichen repeatedly broke through his innate limitations, successfully building a perfect foundation, and now even entered Huaqing. Once a teacher, always a father. He had long regarded Elder Du as his closest elder and vowed to rebuild his body for him. As for his father...
Haha, a hint of obscurity sank into Pei Yichen's eyes. One day, he would make everyone in the Pei family who looked down on him, and that eldest lady who proudly broke off the engagement, take notice of him with new eyes!
Pei Yichen is definitely not a loser who is abandoned by even his biological parents. He will find his mother who abandoned him and tell her with absolute strength that abandoning him is the most failed decision she has ever made in her life.
Burying the humiliation and unwillingness in his heart, Pei Yichen's thoughts returned to the present. He cautiously approached the Nine-Turn Heavenly Lotus. Such a spiritual creature must be guarded by a ferocious beast. Sure enough, just before his hand was about to touch the heavenly lotus, the originally calm water surface suddenly surged violently.
The terrifying bloody mouth suddenly opened, water splashed, and it overturned towards Pei Yichen with huge waves. However, Pei Yichen was prepared. He shook his wrist lightly, and a thin sword as thin as a cicada's wing struck out like lightning.
He gripped the hilt of the sword, made a sword stance, and stabbed it horizontally. The spiritual energy like the sea was sent into the sword from the meridians. Suddenly, terrible energy emerged from the sharp tip of the sword. With the indomitable sword intent, the sword energy swept out and hit the meridian gate of the ferocious beast directly.
The ferocious beast felt pain and fell into the water, revealing its true appearance. It turned out to be a white-snouted crocodile in the middle stage of foundation building. Its eyes showed pain, and bright red blood dripped from its long snout full of sharp teeth. Between life and treasure, it hesitated for a moment, but finally the instinct for survival overcame the desire to expel the enemy, and it dived to the bottom of the water and retreated quickly.
"No wonder it guards this Nine Revolutions Heavenly Lotus. When a white-nosed crocodile with ordinary bloodline advances, it can use the power of the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Lotus to stimulate its bloodline and evolve into a megalodon crocodile with higher potential." Old Du explained in a voice transmission.
Pei Yichen nodded, absorbing knowledge eagerly. As an unappreciated child of the Pei family, even though he was the head of the family's legitimate son, Pei Yichen had no access to any core books as the head of the family ignored and even neglected him. Just dealing with the red-eyed people who came to cause trouble was enough to exhaust him with his low cultivation.
He had no intention of chasing the white-nosed crocodile. The most important thing for him now was to obtain this precious Nine-Turn Heavenly Lotus.
Following Mr. Du's instructions, Pei Yichen was very careful and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, for fear of destroying the medicinal properties of the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Lotus. When he finally took out the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Lotus intact, even if he was very focused, he couldn't help but feel a little relaxed in his heart.
It's now!
Wu Lingnan seized the opportunity and took action boldly, snatching the treasure from Pei Yichen's hands when he was caught off guard.
Your treasure is fine, and mine in the next second.
After succeeding, Wu Lingnan refused to fight and turned into a ray of light and ran away.
"--Depend on!"
Pei Yichen was stunned at first, and then he realized that while the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman is proud, and he has become someone else's wedding dress.
"Damn thief, don't even think about running away!" Pei Yichen cursed angrily and chased after him without hesitation. His eyes were red with anger, but he was a little confused. "Teacher, how come even you didn't notice the appearance of that little thief?"
Du Lao pondered for a long time, also puzzled: "That girl's aura is almost integrated with the environment. What kind of skill is this? I have never seen it before." Could it be that the girl has a special physique?
Unable to figure it out, Old Du shook his head and no longer had any hope for Pei Yichen's pursuit. "But Xiaochen, I don't think you can catch up with that girl. Her cultivation is already higher than yours, and the level of her body movement skills is also extraordinary. Although your cultivation is now barely catching up with your peers, your foundation is still too weak in front of this proud child of heaven, and your accumulation is far from enough."
Just as Elder Du had said, Pei Yichen chased in vain for only a short while before he could no longer see Wu Lingnan's spiritual tail. He could only stop in anger, saying helplessly,
"I have memorized the face of that little thief. Don't let me meet her again!" If he sees this little thief again, he will definitely teach her a lesson. The Nine-Turn Heavenly Lotus is extremely important to him, and Pei Yichen cannot give it up.
He gritted his teeth and was furious, but Old Du in the spirit ring seemed to be hesitant to speak. "Disciple, even if you meet her, you may not be able to defeat her. There is such a gap, forget it..." Old Du sighed and did not have the heart to pour cold water on his disciple.
