"Huh?" Zu'an was immediately taken aback. "Is there some other trick to this?"
"Of course!" Ji Dengtu looked at him like he was an idiot. "The secret realm is very dangerous, so ordinary people shouldn't even think about it; going there would only be suicide. On the other hand, it's full of opportunities, making it a place that all cultivators yearn for. However, there are too many monks and not enough porridge, so not everyone can go if they want to, right?"
“The secret realms in each state are usually controlled by the nearest academy. Since there are many academies in a state, they will send people to the secret realm before it opens. To ensure fairness, a selection competition will be held, and only the winners will be qualified to enter the secret realm.”
Zuan was furious when he heard this: "Are you obviously messing with me? You want me to participate in the selection competition? Do I even have the ability to do that?"
Although he has secretly cultivated to the third rank, there are quite a few fifth-rank and fourth-rank students in Bright Moon Academy. Moreover, there are contestants from other academies participating. Unless he reveals all his trump cards, he may have a tiny chance of advancing, but exposing his trump cards would not be in line with his principle of being a saint.
Moreover, Ji Dengtu knew nothing about my cultivation. The idea he gave me clearly had no chance of success.
"Calm down, calm down," Ji Dengtu chuckled awkwardly. "You may not be good enough, but your wife is. Miss Chu is practically the most outstanding among the younger generation. She will definitely be able to enter the secret realm. Just ask her to help you find the Vanishing Lotus."
Zuan was speechless: "According to you, that thing is so magical that a single petal can raise your cultivation level by a small amount. Even if she found it, it would be more cost-effective for her to eat it herself."
Ji Dengtu said righteously, "Isn't she your wife? Her husband is ill, isn't it her duty to help him get treatment? Does she really want to live a life of widowhood?"
Zu Ansheng looked at him with utter despair, even contemplating killing him. This bastard was just rubbing salt in the wound.
“But wives aren’t always reliable either. Couples are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately,” Ji Dengtu changed the subject, looking sullen. “But you seem to have other options. That big-breasted woman from Mingyue Academy… oops, I mean, Pei Mianman, isn’t she also very fond of you? If you can’t rely on your wife, find a lover. She’ll definitely help you.”
He had heard his daughter, Ji Xiaoxi, mention what had happened at the academy, and he was full of admiration for her: "Speaking of which, you really have some wild ways up your sleeve. That thing is no good, yet you still managed to win the heart of such a stunning beauty. Can you teach me how you did it?"
Hearing him keep saying "no," Zu'an felt like dying. He thought to himself, "Once I'm back to normal, the first thing I'll do is sleep with your daughter and let you gloat in front of me." Of course, he dared not say that now.
Ji Dengtu joked for a while, but seeing that he didn't react, he became a little bored: "I almost forgot, the Chu family invited me here to treat your injuries."
As he spoke, he examined him and couldn't help but marvel: "Your body is really strange. An ordinary person would have been dead long ago after such a serious injury. Not only did you not die, but your recovery speed is also much faster than that of an ordinary person."
Zu An was taken aback, thinking that this must be the effect of the "Phoenix Nirvana Scripture". After all, it is a technique that improves one's power by being beaten, so it must have some unique features in terms of healing and recovery. Otherwise, he would have died on the way of practicing sooner or later.
Ji Dengtu prescribed him some medicine for both external and internal use, and then left excitedly. Clearly, the bib he had just received and the booklet made him eager to go home and admire them secretly.
After watching him leave, Zu'an fell into deep thought, pondering how to legitimately enter the secret realm and obtain the so-called Vanishing Lotus. He didn't know how long he thought about it, but a relaxed smile gradually appeared on his lips…
The next morning, Zu An struggled to go to school, which pleased Chu Zhongtian and Qin Wanru. They thought he was a promising student, but they were still worried about his injuries. They hurriedly asked the doctor in the manor to examine him and found that his injuries had almost healed.
"Huh, that guy Ji Dengtu is actually quite capable." Chu Zhongtian naturally didn't realize that this was due to Zu An's own cultivation technique, and subconsciously attributed it to Ji Dengtu.
Qin Wanru, who was standing to the side, smiled and said, "You didn't want him to come into the manor before."
Chu Zhongtian snorted: "That guy stares at you with a lecherous look all day long. He must be up to no good. Of course I don't like him."
"We're an old married couple, why are you still jealous?" Qin Wanru couldn't help but push him, her jade-like cheeks flushed red.

Oh my god, I woke up this morning with a runny nose, and then I blew my nose so much I must have hurt it or something. My left nostril was bleeding, and my right nostril was running. It was truly a miserable experience.
