“What’s this?” Qi Yaoguang laughed. “If you agree to help her preserve the Meng family’s power, she’ll be your secret lover without any problem, and she’ll be grateful to you. In fact, the entire Meng family would love for her to do that. How can the lives of the living be affected by someone who is already dead?”
Zuan: "..."
Seeing her seemingly recounting something mundane, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved. He thought he had become somewhat cynical, but little did he know that the world was even more exaggerated than he had imagined.
Jiang Luofu finally couldn't help but step in to stop her: "Junior Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't corrupt him."
Qi Yaoguang almost burst out laughing: "Senior sister, do you think he's a disciple of this academy? It's already good enough that he doesn't teach us, how could I possibly teach him?"
Jiang Luofu was also somewhat dazed. Thinking of how he had dominated the Meng family before, it seemed that he really didn't need anyone to teach him anymore. But for some reason, in her eyes, he was still that lazy boy from Mingyue City who was a bit of a rogue and called her "beautiful principal" or "principal sister".
"Brother-in-law!" A joyful shout came faintly from the mountainside. The group looked in the direction of the sound and saw several girls climbing the mountain. Chu Huanzhao, who was in the lead, waved frantically in their direction. Her swaying little leather skirt spoke volumes about how happy she was.
A boy with red lips and white teeth next to him rolled his eyes, as if he was disgusted by the conspicuous bag.
Another tall, tanned girl looked at the boy with a smile.
"Sigh, I had some astrological questions I wanted to ask you, but it seems I'll have to wait until next time." Qi Yaoguang muttered. They were family, so of course she wouldn't be so tactless as to stay and be a third wheel.
Jiang Luofu also disliked these lively occasions, and soon followed her to say goodbye and leave.
Not long after, Chu and his group arrived at the small courtyard on the mountaintop.
Hearing the chatter of the group, Zu An also felt a headache coming on and took out some booklets: "These are the basic cultivation techniques for the disciples of the back mountain of the academy. Don't be fooled by the unpleasant names, they are all good stuff. The foundation laid will be extremely solid, and you will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort when cultivating any technique in the future."
Now that he is the academy's chief priest, finding these things is naturally no problem for him.
Murong Qinghe and Chu Youzhao's eyes lit up, and they excitedly picked it up. Having lived in the capital for many years, they knew how precious this thing was. The basic cultivation techniques of the National Academy were easy for their family to obtain, but they didn't have much advantage compared to their family's inherited techniques.
However, the cultivation technique in front of us is only for the disciples in the back mountain. Every disciple in the National Academy is a genius from their respective regions, and those who can enter the back mountain are geniuses among geniuses, and the cultivation techniques they practice are the most advanced.
The original master personally tailored this for these disciples, and it is said that even the teachers in the back mountains of the academy today learned this as their starting point.
Chu Huanzhao, however, couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother-in-law, you know I hate reading the most. Just seeing these words gives me a headache and makes me want to sleep."
As she spoke, she snuggled up to Zu An: "Brother-in-law, why don't you teach me yourself? Preferably a quick one, where I can practice for a few days and become a top master in the world."
Zuan: "..."
Chu Youzhao sneered, "What a fool! There's no such thing as a cultivation method that yields results without effort. Wanting to become a master without wanting to suffer is the idea of a country bumpkin."
Chu Huanzhao snorted: "Who said there wasn't? Back then, my brother-in-law was a slacker in the Yellow Class of Mingyue Academy, just like me. I didn't see him work hard at cultivation. He just ate and slept, and slept and ate. Oh right, he also flirted with pretty girls everywhere. And he still managed to cultivate to this level?"
Chu Youzhao opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.
What you said makes so much sense, I really don't know how to refute it for a moment.
"Alright, alright, I do have a way to speed up your cultivation progress, but I still need to refine it a bit more." Zu An thought to himself that Xiao Zhao's slightly masochistic physique was quite suitable for the "Phoenix Nirvana Scripture," as he could become stronger simply by taking a beating.
However, cultivating such a secret manual is too dangerous, and she has no cheat codes, so it's practically a matter of life and death. Moreover, possessing such a treasure is a crime, and once exposed, it could easily bring her great disaster.
Let's stick to the original plan for now...
Chu Huanzhao was overjoyed and, holding his arm, proudly snorted at Chu Youzhao, "I knew my brother-in-law had a way!"
Chu Youzhao was so angry that her teeth itched. Murong Qinghe whispered to her, "Brother Chu, I think you used to hug Brother Zu and call him brother-in-law like this before your second sister came."
Upon hearing this, Chu Youzhao became even angrier.
Zuan was driven crazy by their noise, so he told them to play in the yard outside while he went into the room, looking at the Marrow Cleansing Pill in his palm with a worried expression.
Since he became a Super-Rank talent, he can no longer obtain Marrow Cleansing Pills through draws; he can only buy them in the shop system. Each pill costs 10 times the amount of anger points he earns, and the price increases tenfold for each additional pill he buys.
He gave one to Xue'er back then, and now this one has cost him a lot of anger.
The next one will cost a million; it's simply unrealistic to spend that much anger to buy several more.
The key issue is that Xiao Zhao's aptitude is really too poor; one pill can't make up for it. Moreover, she has so many other confidantes, so it wouldn't be appropriate to give this pill to anyone.
