Chapter 39: The Abandoned Young Master Long Aotian
In my new life, I am studying in a world of immortal cultivation
If possible, when Wu Lingnan returned to her original world, she would definitely write all of this into a novel and post it online, letting everyone see how outrageous this other world was. She looked at the class schedule sent by the system center, her fingers trembling slightly.
Help! "Introduction to Cultivation" and "Brief Analysis of the Heart Method" are fine, and she didn't say anything about the electives "Alchemy" and "Talisman Studies". Why are there also "Natural and Social Sciences" and "Ideology, Morality and the Rule of Law" and so on? Is the main focus on comprehensive cultivation of scientific thinking in cultivation?
Wu Lingnan choked. She flipped through the pages and successfully came across "Psychological Education for College Students." This time, she really couldn't help herself and almost choked on her own saliva. Her eyes went blank, and she felt like she was back in college in her previous life, with the familiar courses and the familiar pain, no less intense.
Wu Lingnan flipped through a few more pages of the textbooks. Although, it must be said, the contents of these books were not as detailed as the hands-on instruction of the sect's masters, they were extremely universal and very suitable for beginners with weak foundations. No wonder the academic schools that had only gradually flourished in the past few hundred years were able to squeeze out half of the sects that had been passed down for thousands of years.
Wu Lingnan bet that even though the sect still retained some of its former glory, in a few decades it would be completely crushed by the academic school. Wu Lingnan, also a descendant of the Five Immortals Sect, was familiar with both educational systems. Thinking of her mother's unusual and inexplicable tolerance this time, she couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that her mother just wanted her to come to Xiuxian University to see the world?
However, the pain will come later in the future courses. What is most important to her now is that Wu Lingnan half-lay down on the desk and let out a long sigh.
All the food for the little cuties she brought from her hometown was cleared out today!
In other words, she has to go out to replenish raw materials today. What's the difference between this and forcing a socially anxious person to socialize?
Originally, Wu Lingnan wanted to ask Xiang Gucheng to help take care of the child, but then he thought, Xiang Gucheng is also an autistic patient who never leaves the house. It is impossible for him to go anywhere other than the training room and the combat room.
After checking her account balance, Wu Lingnan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she performed well in the freshman trial competition and earned enough credits. Otherwise, in Huaqing, where all resources are based on the credit system, the first thing she would have to worry about now is how to earn credits.
Cheer up and get out there.
Wu Lingnan slapped her face and told herself that she couldn't be so decadent anymore. She had to go out and see the sunshine to grow stronger. She quickly packed herself up and followed the navigation to the commercial center in the college.
Speed limit, speed limit, why is there a speed limit today?
The pace was as slow as a snail and it was blocking people. Wu Lingnan's face turned black. She was so angry that she didn't take the empty road and chose to return to her original walking method. If she couldn't avoid you, couldn't she just hide?
After a while, Wu Lingnan took back what she had just said. She was presumptuous. This road was not for people to walk on. Why build the university town so big for no reason? How could one build it so big just for cultivating immortals? However, she had chosen to walk, and she would insist on finishing it even if she had to kneel. Wu Lingnan held her breath and walked from dawn to dusk, crossing half of the campus on foot to reach the Commercial Middle School.
The moment she arrived at the commercial building, she almost cried with joy. When she really stepped into the main door of the building, Wu Lingnan couldn't help but doubt her own mind. Why did she torture herself to get angry with herself? Was she just bored and had nothing to do?
The first floor of the commercial building was not as glittering and magnificent as Wu Lingnan had imagined. It was indeed spacious and bright with people coming and going, but the people hawking their wares were not big-name merchants, but students with slightly childish faces, just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Wu Lingnan was very surprised and looked around.
After walking along with the crowd for a while, Wu Lingnan had a vague understanding in his heart: this should be a cultivation university-style flea market specially set up by Huaqing University to encourage students to trade freely. It accepts barter and credit payments. If there are any disputes, they can directly find the staff of the center to complain. After several years of development and improvement, the rules here have become quite complete.
"Classmates, three bottles of Qi Gathering Pills for 50 points! Big sale for the new semester! Take a look and don't miss it if you're passing by!"
"Freshmen, juniors, take a look! This is the most comprehensive tutorial analysis ever! You won't be cheated or fooled. This senior has eight years of experience, and his reputation is absolutely guaranteed!"
"No, no, no."
Wu Lingnan declined another senior's enthusiastic solicitation and walked at a leisurely pace. Everything she saw was new to her. She was not in a hurry to go shopping, but strolled leisurely as if she was strolling around the street. From time to time, she would walk to a stall and pick things up and look around, but she would not buy anything. She just wanted to get something for free and play tricks on the stall owner.
Hmm, this shop has a pretty complete range of elixirs, including Soul-Restoring Pills, Pulse-Protecting Pills, Qi-Held Pills... all the common low-level elixirs are there at a glance, and there's even Rejuvenating Pills. The stall owner must have quite a good skill in alchemy.
Wu Lingnan casually glanced at the stall owner's face and was about to walk past him. After taking several steps forward, his brain was a second slow to react. Wait, this face looks so familiar. No, is that Pei Yichen?
She turned abruptly and returned to the stall, opening her eyes wide to take a closer look. It was actually Pei Yichen!
"To buy pills, please see the prices on the blackboard next to you. No bargaining." Pei Yichen raised his eyebrows lazily and glanced at Wu Lingnan, without any extra expression, with the same attitude as he had towards the previous customers.
Wu Lingnan couldn't believe it: "You are not also an alchemist, are you?" Help, my friend is so talented.
Pei Yichen didn't want to pay attention to her, but adhering to the principle that customers have to comply, he nodded reservedly.
Unexpectedly, Wu Lingnan paid no attention to Pei Yichen's subtle feelings and didn't even notice his actions. She happily answered her own questions, "Yeah, I already have the strange fire, so I'd be a big loss if I didn't become an alchemist."
She picked up a small bottle of Hui Lingdan and shook it: "Do you mind if I open it and take a look?"
"……what ever."
Why does it feel like my friend's attitude has dropped again and again in just a few seconds? It must be an illusion.
Wu Lingnan firmly believed that she was wrong. She gently opened the bottle, her nose moved slightly, and then looked into the bottle. The elixir energy and the quality of it made Wu Lingnan's pupils tremble.
She was sure that this bottle was full of flawless pills. Could it be that...? She glanced at the dazzling array of pill bottles on the stall and swallowed her saliva. If these were all of flawless quality, then they would be even more powerful than the seventh elder in her family, a sixth-grade alchemist. At least the seventh elder could not achieve such a high flawless rate with the same batch of pills.
Facing Wu Lingnan's hungry eyes, Pei Yichen felt a sense of fear and trepidation: "You..."
Wu Lingnan flew directly to Pei Yichen's side, took Pei Yichen's hands, and said affectionately: "Brother, you still need angel investors... No, you still need a teacher?" Consider our Five Immortals Sect. Good things should not be wasted on outsiders. By joining the Five Immortals Sect, we, half-siblings, can make a lot of money together.
Pei Yichen was so shocked by this sudden change that Wu Lingnan actually grabbed his hands for a moment. Before he could say anything, Wu Lingnan continued to chatter, "I promise you, joining our Five Immortals Sect is absolutely worth it. The Pei family's Daotian Sect is nothing. We have a Seventh Elder in the Five Immortals Sect who is a sixth-rank alchemist. When he saw you, brother, he would absolutely accept you as his disciple and treat you like his own son..."
Pei Yichen: Damn it, why don’t you give me a chance to speak!
This scene of a man and a woman entangled was very misleading, causing many people to stop and watch. Ah, this is the smell of gossip! What's more, many people even took the opportunity to appreciate the goods and tried to sneak in and watch closely.
The crowd suddenly surged, but Pei Yichen was not happy. He looked at the crowd of people excitedly enjoying the show with a twitching eye. He could no longer bear it and interrupted them directly, saying, "I'm sorry, I don't have any plans to join any sect at the moment."
Wu Lingnan belatedly realized the attention-grabbing nature of her behavior. It was okay. Under certain conditions, she could be infinitely thick-skinned. However, she did seem to have disturbed Pei Yichen's attempts to solicit customers.
"Wait for me a moment."
Wu Lingnan moved as fast as the wind and disappeared immediately.
Pei Yichen:
What tricks is this guy up to? After only being with Wu Lingnan for less than half a month, Pei Yichen already felt hopeless. He even felt a little sympathetic towards Xiang Gucheng, who was said to have grown up with Wu Lingnan as a childhood sweetheart. But when he thought of Xiang Gucheng's equally bizarre train of thought, Pei Yichen withdrew his worthless sympathy.
This pair of senior and junior brothers and sisters are both mentally ill. As the saying goes, the local climate and soil shape the local people. There must be some problem with the feng shui in the Miao area of western Hunan. Pei Yichen has deep doubts about this.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Pei Yichen watched helplessly as his classmate on his left closed his stall with a smile on his face. Then Wu Lingnan took over the spot without hesitation and started setting up his stall in a proper manner.
She seemed a little confused at first, but after a moment of contemplation, her eyes brightened up again. She excitedly took out... scorpion wine, snake wine, spider silk...
Pei Yichen finally couldn't help it: "...what did you do?"
"Ah," Wu Lingnan said, still happily fiddling with his products, not even looking up. "I paid five times the rent that brother just paid to rent his shop tonight. I'm setting up a stall."
He is very rich and powerful. He is really very rich and powerful.
Pei Yichen was silent for a moment and asked, "You may not be able to earn back your principal tonight, is it worth it?" To be frank, these things can't be sold except for a few curious people.
Wu Lingnan finally looked up. She blinked her eyes and smiled brightly: "It's okay, I can earn more credits if I lose them. If you run away, where will I find another one?" Seeing that I'm bleeding so much, are you really not going to consider our Five Immortals Sect?
Pei Yichen: ...
Seeing Pei Yichen choked and speechless, Wu Lingnan laughed so hard that her body shook. She leaned closer and said in surprise, "You're actually blushing." She raised her hands, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I spoke nonsense. I'm telling you, don't ever believe what we Miao girls say. We're such liars."
Pei Yichen said angrily: "Aren't you also from Miaojiang?"
"That's right," Wu Lingnan nodded solemnly, "So don't believe what I say."
"However, are you really not considering coming to our Five Immortals Sect for another job? It's a pity that you have such talent. I really just value talent." Wu Lingnan swore to the sky, her clear eyes looking at Pei Yichen with expectation.
