Chapter 77 Reunion with the Transmigrator
Zhong Cai sat cross-legged, her fingers gently brushing over a tuberous, precious medicinal herb, processing it quickly.
In just a few breaths, the precious medicine was properly prepared and then tossed into the alchemy furnace with unparalleled smoothness.
At the same moment, Zhong Cai manipulated the wood and fire, quickly raising the heat to a matching temperature, and instantly activating the medicinal power of the tuberous herb.
Impurities in the tuber, along with the flickering fire, quickly turned into wisps of black smoke that rose up, instantly evaporated, and disappeared without a trace.
At that very moment, Zhong Cai had finished processing the second medicinal herb, taking out a few thin strands and putting them into the stove.
He simply tossed the excess medicinal herbs into a large basket on the side.
The precious herb that had been there before turned into a gel, and the fine threads fell onto it and were absorbed by it.
The gel melted instantly, and its original turquoise color turned silvery-blue due to the inclusion of fine threads.
This is the initial, correct response.
Then, Zhong Cai calmly picked up the other medicinal herbs and processed them simply.
The fire in the furnace continued to leap and burn, sometimes large and sometimes small, depending on Zhong Cai's control.
Inside the alchemy furnace, a faint, hissing sound could be heard.
·
There is a secret chamber unseen by many alchemists.
Several cultivators dressed in silver-red robes stood or sat, each with a different posture, but all were looking at the opposite wall.
A clear image is projected onto the wall.
It is divided into more than one hundred sections, each corresponding to a picture.
It depicts a master alchemist refining elixirs.
These cultivators are all sixth-level alchemists, and their strength is all at the Palace Building stage.
They are the alchemy instructors of the Azure Dragon Academy.
The alchemists who came to participate in the assessment were from level one to level four, but regardless of their level, there would be a level six alchemist supervising the examination.
The only difference lies in the number of sixth-level alchemists allocated in each level of assessment.
These three level-six alchemists were among those assessed for the level-two alchemist qualification.
·
Zhou Xiu raised her head, her gaze landing precisely on one of the images, and said with a smile, "Brother He, Brother Zhang, let's see what my niece's skills are like?"
The other two level-six alchemists also turned their attention to it.
In that picture, a pretty young girl is skillfully processing medicinal herbs.
Every movement was precise, and even the difficult parts were dissected quite skillfully.
When she added the medicinal herbs, the wood and fire elements worked together perfectly.
She had complete mastery over wood and fire, as if they were her own limbs.
Everyone could easily see that the medicinal herbs reacted harmoniously with each other, posing no risk of the oven exploding.
Even with just this brief prelude, their experience was enough to make a judgment.
He Zhao then said with a smile, "As expected of Brother Zhou's niece, she is indeed exceptionally talented."
Zhang Zi nodded solemnly and said, "If nothing unexpected happens during the final pill collection, Brother Zhou's niece's batch of pills should yield one or two top-grade pills. That's right."
Hearing the praise from her two colleagues, Zhou Xiu was in a good mood. She stroked her smooth chin and said, "Her comprehension is indeed excellent. In the past, I only gave her some pointers when I went back to visit my family, but she understood everything immediately and progressed very quickly. Now she is only in her twenties, and she has mastered as many as seven kinds of second-level pills, three of which can be refined into top-grade pills, with a success rate of 70%!"
At this point, Zhou Xiu was both moved and delighted.
"In the future, my niece will not only inherit my mantle, but she may even surpass me!"
Upon hearing this, He Zhao and Zhang Zi also offered their congratulations, saying, "Congratulations, Brother Zhou, on gaining such a fine student."
Zhou Xiu laughed even more happily.
·
Everyone knew that with Zhou Xiu's niece, Zhou Yalan, her abilities would definitely allow her to pass the assessment and be placed in the best class, becoming a resident disciple.
The resident disciples will inevitably become apprentices.
Many of the academy's instructors have designated spots for disciples, and they will naturally compete to take on any outstanding students who emerge.
Zhou Yalan is exceptionally talented and should have been sought after by many mentors.
However, she came from the Zhou family and had been instructed by Zhou Xiu on many occasions.
So……
When it came time to accept disciples, neither He Zhao nor Zhang Zi would compete with Zhou Xiu for them.
·
There are no problems with Zhou Yalan's side.
After a few casual remarks, the mentors turned their attention to assessing the other hundred-plus alchemists.
Zhang Zi quickly selected five alchemists and sneered, "These people claimed they only knew how to make three types of level-two pills and even applied to us for two new level-two pill formulas. They're incredibly audacious! Trying to take advantage of my Azure Dragon Academy!"
Zhou Xiu found it amusing: "You actually thought you could fool us?"
He Zhao, with a mild temper, said with some helplessness, "I'm afraid he's a self-taught alchemist. He's been struggling a lot outside, but he doesn't have any way to advance, so he's short-sighted and doesn't know his own limitations."
Hearing He Zhao's words, Zhang Zi's anger subsided somewhat.
"Indeed, judging from their appearance, you can tell that they have only studied rudimentary alchemy for a few years and have never seen any profound traditions."
Zhou Xiu stared intently at the alchemists, her nose twitching slightly.
He then nodded: "Of these five people, three possess at least five pill formulas, and two possess at least six pill formulas."
He Zhao nodded slightly in agreement.
Zhou Xiu joked, "Since they applied, what was Brother Zhang's reply?"
Zhang Zi smiled: "I did give them each two pill formulas, but..."
Zhou Xiu suddenly realized: "However, these pill formulas just happen to be ones they already had, right?" At this point, he smiled and pointed at Zhang Zi, saying, "Brother Zhang is quite mischievous."
He Zhao couldn't help but chuckle.
"No wonder these people were stumbling and seemed unable to concentrate. It turns out that Brother Zhang's actions made them feel guilty and unable to perform at their best."
·
Indeed, although these five alchemists forcibly controlled their emotions and tried their best to devote themselves to alchemy, the intense regret filled their minds.
Let them have their wild thoughts that they can't control at all.
At this moment, their faces were pale, and their fingers were trembling slightly.
I have no idea what they were thinking before. How dare they scheme against an eighth-level power? They're practically courting death!
The actions of the academy's alchemists can be seen as a warning to them.
At the same time, they were all well aware that with their already mediocre alchemy skills, it would be difficult for them to pass if their mindset was unstable.
Moreover, even if there is a slim chance of them passing, the professors will naturally dislike them if they find out, and their days in the academy will probably not be easy.
·
It is indeed difficult for cultivators without profound lineage to know that alchemists with exceptionally high alchemy skills can see through the medicinal aura emanating from alchemists who are several levels below them.
When an alchemist learns a formula and begins to refine it, he will also carry the aura of that particular elixir.
only……
If an alchemist has never successfully produced an elixir, then the aura will be obscure; if an alchemist has successfully produced an elixir, then it will carry the corresponding medicinal fragrance.
While one cannot determine the specific formula from the aura alone, it is easy to count how many kinds of pills the alchemist has learned.
Of course, the aura of a level two pill will overshadow that of a level one pill, and a level three pill will overshadow that of a level two pill...
And so on.
Ultimately, the aura left on a level-two alchemist can only be used by other advanced alchemists to determine the types of level-two pills he has refined, and whether he refined a large or small number of pills when he was at level one.
A more skilled alchemist, who is also familiar with many alchemical formulas, can use this knowledge to determine the specific type of elixir.
·
Although these level six alchemists are in a secret room, they are actually in a connected space with the level two alchemists who are being tested.
They could sense and see the aura and movements of those level-two alchemists.
·
Zhong Cai devoted himself to alchemy.
He made no mistakes in processing the medicinal herbs or controlling the heat.
By now, he knew that his batch of pills was almost complete.
There will be no unexpected events, because what Zhong Cai is refining is the Palace-Opening Pill.
He not only refined pills a great many times, but his success rate was also 100%—he could refine them with his eyes closed.
Zhong Cai did not hesitate, nor did she deliberately try to fry the food in the oven.
He was prepared to focus all his efforts on alchemy for this assessment.
Only in this way can Zhong Cai truly be confident of entering the Azure Dragon Academy.
·
Previously, Zhong Cai had concealed his talents in many small towns.
But what he is facing now is an eighth-level power.
The Shao family, a level-six power, only highly values high-grade and above pills; they are quite casual about mid-grade and low-grade pills.
Jade Dragon City is only a level four city, yet its perception of elixirs is already like this.
Even when Zhong Cai participated in the alchemy conference, he learned from the many messages that each family also had a few alchemists with outstanding talent, who could occasionally produce a top-grade pill after some practice.
So, if Zhong Cai were to try to completely remove the impurities from the medicinal herbs, or deliberately cause an explosion, wouldn't she be treating the proctor like an idiot?
Although Zhong Cai hadn't seen the proctors, she could easily guess that they were observing from somewhere.
·
Gradually, time continued to pass.
Zhong Cai's alchemy furnace began to tremble slightly.
He was focused, carefully performing the hand seals.
The muffled thuds from the furnace continued, but no sound of breaking was heard.
Zhong Cai felt a little relieved, opened the furnace lid, and took out the pills inside.
Nine Palace-Opening Pills.
·
Inside the secret room.
Several level-six alchemists were checking on the condition of many level-two alchemists.
Soon, Zhou Xiu smiled again: "Ya Lan produced nine pills in nearly seven quarters of an hour. She still needs to work even harder."
Zhang Zi glanced at him and said, "Brother Zhou, since you're happy, there's no need to be so modest."
He Zhao also said, "The fact that you have three mid-grade Rejuvenation Pills, five high-grade pills, and one top-grade pill is already a very impressive achievement."
Zhang Zi chimed in, "Even a level two alchemist, before undergoing talent refinement, how many can produce top-grade alchemy? Your niece seems quite composed, which shows that this is a common occurrence."
He Zhao then said, "Brother Zhou, if she weren't from your Zhou family, I would definitely snatch her away!"
Hearing these sarcastic remarks, Zhou Xiu was even happier.
At this moment, Zhou Yalan began preparing the second batch of pills.
During this period, other alchemists also produced pills.
The three pill refiners mostly produced only low to medium grade pills, with only occasionally a single high grade pill being produced.
In fact, none of them produced nine full pills.
There were only six or seven of them.
Such a result may not be enough to pass the assessment.
If these alchemists were traveling in other cities, their alchemy skills would already be quite high; otherwise, they wouldn't dare to come and participate in the assessment.
However, geniuses are as numerous as carp crossing a river, and countless people flock to this place.
The level of screening involved is truly terrifying.
·
The performance lasted for an hour.
In a small area of the hall, the furnace lid emitted a soft chirping sound.
The blue-robed youth sitting at the front of the furnace accurately performed a hand seal and opened the lid, taking out the elixir.
Several level-six alchemists turned their gazes toward it.
For a moment, a look of surprise appeared on their faces.
This alchemist is only over twenty years old, and his strength is only at the peak of the Heavenly Induction Realm.
The Palace-Opening Pills he refined were not only full of pills, but four of them were of the highest grade! The remaining five were also all of the highest grade.
Such results...
The group, including Zhou Xiu, looked at each other in bewilderment.
What kind of talent is this?
Zhou Xiuping calmed himself down and spoke first: "It took him exactly one hour to finish the pill."
He Zhao and Zhang Zi both nodded.
The fastest time for a master alchemist to refine a second-grade pill is four quarters of an hour.
A cultivator specializing in Heavenly Guidance can refine a level-two pill in exactly one hour.
Zhou Yalan was at the Opening Palace Realm, yet it took her nearly seven quarters of an hour—admittedly, her speed wasn't slow, and the pills she refined weren't the simplest, but compared to a pill refiner who met the requirements of "Heavenly Guidance Refining Level 2, fastest, and four top-grade pills," she was far inferior.
It can be said that in the instant the young alchemist produced the pill, he had already completely overshadowed Zhou Yalan, who was currently the most favored by everyone.
Their talent wasn't just amazing, it was terrifying.
Zhou Xiu was somewhat disappointed, but having cultivated for over a thousand years, he naturally didn't have much of an emotional reaction to it.
So he said, "I wonder what kind of organization this alchemist comes from."
Zhang Zi smiled and said, "No matter what faction they come from, they will all be disciples of my Azure Dragon Academy in the future."
·
No sixth-level alchemist would doubt that Zhong Cai could not pass the test.
Even if Zhong Cai, who has already demonstrated such talent in alchemy, were to have an unexpected mishap that led to a poor performance, his mentor would still vouch for him and send him to the academy.
·
Zhong Cai quickly began processing the medicinal materials for the second prescription.
Unbeknownst to him, he had already attracted the attention of all the proctors.
·
Just as we analyzed Zhou Yalan before, now all the alchemists are carefully observing Zhong Cai.
Zhang Zi said, "This boy is surrounded by six kinds of medicinal fragrances, without the slightest hint of staleness."
Zhou Xiu nodded: "He has successfully made at least six kinds of second-level pills. Considering his age, it can be seen that he takes very little time to become familiar with each pill formula and successfully produce the pill each time."
He Zhao analyzed, "The medicinal fragrance is so strong that the quality of the pills produced should be quite good."
Zhang Zi then said, "I wonder how many of these six kinds of pills can be of the highest quality?"
Zhou Xiu pondered, "The first one to be taken out should be the one we're most confident in. However, since the medicinal scents on them all seem about the same, then perhaps they are all..."
Zhang Zi and He Zhao each had a meal.
If one could truly refine every type of elixir into the highest grade, it would only highlight the terrifying nature of their talent.
·
On the screen, Zhong Cai was processing the medicinal herbs in an orderly manner.
As the medicinal herbs were successively added into the alchemy furnace.
All the reactions inside the alchemy furnace were familiar to him.
Another hour passed.
Zhong Cai produced nine more Palace-Breaking Pills.
It remains the same: four top-grade pills and five high-grade pills.
It is very stable.
·
Zhang Zi couldn't help but exclaim, "Great! That's really impressive!"
Zhou Xiu and He Zhao both stared intently at the boy in the blue shirt.
Two consecutive batches yielded nine pills each. Could it be that this young man's success rate in refining pills at home had reached 90%... or even 100%?
He Zhao said calmly, "This time, the boy is refining the Golden Cauldron Pill."
Let's tentatively classify the Golden Cauldron Pill as a second-level pill.
It's not easy.
I wonder if he will be able to produce pills this time, and what the quality and quantity of the pills will be like.
Zhou Xiu couldn't help but ask, "How does the success rate of the Golden Cauldron Pill compare to that of the Palace-Opening Pill?"
·
The Golden Cauldron Pill was an extremely familiar elixir, and Zhong Cai's refining process was still extremely smooth.
In the entire hall, there were only a handful of people who could refine level two pills at the Heavenly Guidance Realm, and the quality of the pills they produced was far lower than that of the other alchemists being assessed; they were practically only low-grade.
Therefore, during Zhong Cai's refining process, other alchemists would occasionally produce pills successfully.
With so many people producing pills, some of the more excited alchemists couldn't help but speak up.
The various noises could reach the neighbors and affect some alchemists whose minds were not stable.
It is worth mentioning that, perhaps to test whether the alchemist can maintain his state of mind, although strange auras and powers are not allowed to interfere with each other in each small area, sounds and the like are not included.
If alchemists are not calm enough, the number of times their furnaces explode may increase.
Often, the quality of the pills produced is significantly reduced.
Of course, there are also alchemists who are stable enough and undisturbed.
Their elixir-producing quality is equally consistent.
However, no other alchemist has the same level of attention as Zhong Cai, with at least one level-six alchemist watching over him every moment.
·
Zhong Dan successfully refined the Golden Cauldron Pill.
Nine pills in total, four of which are of the highest grade and five of the lowest grade.
He then refined another batch of Golden Cauldron Pills...
The pills obtained were no different from those obtained last time.
Next, Zhong Cai refined the Zhiyun Pill.
·
When Zhou Xiu and the others saw this, their expressions changed from surprise to great joy.
The alchemist disciples we want to recruit should naturally be as skilled in alchemy as possible!
Zhang Zi couldn't help but say, "Once he enters the inner courtyard, I will take him as my disciple!"
He Zhao spoke a step too late, but at this moment he was not going to back down: "I want to take him as my disciple."
Zhang Zi and He Zhao originally had a good relationship, but seeing such a promising talent, it was naturally best for him to have him under his own wing.
However, Zhou Xiu also spoke up.
“My niece is not much older than him, and her alchemy skills are not much worse than his. If this boy were to become my student, he would have a companion with whom he could exchange alchemy skills. Wouldn’t that be more suitable?”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zi and He Zhao couldn't help but despise him.
"You've already taken in your niece, yet you still covet this new disciple!"
"Brother Zhou, being too greedy is not a good thing."
Zhou Xiu smiled, not refuting, but clearly not giving up either.
Several level-six alchemists exchanged wary glances.
However, they all laughed in the end.
Zhang Zi shook her head and said, "Never mind, let him choose for himself when the time comes."
He Zhao also said, "We are here to supervise the assessment, and this disciple should be under our tutelage."
Zhou Xiu agreed with the two and said with a smile, "Then let's do it this way. It's better to choose one out of three than to have more people competing for it, and it will also prevent such a disciple from being snatched away by someone else."
Zhang Zi and He Zhao both said, "Let's do it this way."
At least, let's eliminate other competitors first.
·
Zhong Cai was completely unaware of all of this.
He simply followed the established procedures and exerted his full potential.
Zhiyun Dan was successfully produced twice.
The antidote pills were even more complicated, and the processing of the medicinal materials was more troublesome, but that didn't stump him...
Runxue Dan (a traditional Chinese medicine formula) requires rather complicated processing of its ingredients...
Zhong Cai successfully produced pills every time she refined them.
From beginning to end, he didn't make a single mistake.
·
The Level 6 instructors in the secret room observed and marveled at the same time.
Complete! Complete! Keep completing!
It can be almost concluded that this child's success rate in achieving the required elixir is at least 90%, if not 100%.
Even among top-tier level two alchemists, this is an extremely formidable level.
The mentors suddenly began to doubt whether they could successfully accept this student.
This young man has profound insights into alchemy formulas and knows a considerable number of them. As a sixth-level alchemist, what advantages could attract him?
Let me think about it some more.
When it comes time to take on apprentices later, I might be able to lure them with other benefits.
At the same time, a mentor took out a communication device and asked his subordinates to investigate the disciple's general information.
Privacy is not being violated; the purpose is simply to understand the other person's potential needs.
·
Outside several examination halls.
Wu Shaogan was still standing in the crowd, and he looked no different from when Zhong Cai left.
However, upon closer inspection, it can be seen that he has already distanced himself from the people around him.
It doesn't seem to be something he does intentionally, but rather he unconsciously maintains this distance whenever someone gets close.
It was as if those people instinctively didn't want to get close to Wu Shaogan.
Naturally, they wouldn't express any friendliness.
And Wu Shaogan...
He just felt that it was more peaceful now.
·
Wu Shaogan remained calm, concealing his breathing.
His gaze remained fixed on the entrance to the main hall where the alchemist assessment was being conducted.
What kind of assessment will A-Cai undergo?
How long will the assessment last?
There is no fixed rule in Canglong City regarding these details.
The types of assessments are roughly the same every fifty years, but the specific performance methods may differ each time.
Of course, the length of the assessment period cannot be determined immediately.
Maybe it will take a day, maybe two or three days, or even longer.
The longest assessment period previously lasted a full seven days.
That time, the number of disciples recruited was also the smallest.
·
There were many people queuing around, and the number of people was increasing, and the queue was getting longer and longer.
Many cultivators inevitably became somewhat irritable.
Wu Shaogan, however, did not react.
Shao Qing turned her head and saw that Wu Shaogan had almost no expression, and his demeanor suddenly became a little eerie.
Then, Shao Qing turned around and went back.
Brother Wu must have been missing Master Zhong for far too long in this state; it would be best if he didn't disturb him.
Anyway, he didn't have anything important to do.
Wu Shaogan's gaze remained fixed, completely ignoring Shao Qing's reaction.
When Shao Qing turned his head, he inadvertently saw that the little boy behind Brother Wu had poked his head out and was giving him a cute smile.
Shao Qing couldn't help but return a gentle smile.
Wu Dongxiao: "..."
She seems to have a good temper. Shall we go over and chat for a bit?
However, Shao Qing had already turned back.
Wu Dongxiao thought, "Then forget it."
Anyway, he was trying to get information out of her... but it didn't seem like there was anything he really needed to get information out of her.
·
From the group on the right, a burning gaze suddenly fell upon Wu Shaogan.
My gaze was burning, and I couldn't look away.
Wu Shaogan frowned slightly, finally turning his gaze away and glancing in that direction.
There stood a young man dressed in brocade robes, waving a wooden fan in his hand, looking over.
When Wu Shaogan looked over, the young master slightly withdrew his gaze, but he was still looking.
Wu Shaogan's gaze turned slightly cold.
The young man shivered and instinctively looked away.
Wu Shaogan then looked again at the gate of the alchemy test hall.
·
The adjacent teams.
The young man quickly fanned himself, muttering under his breath, "That scared me to death! That scared me to death!"
At the same time, he let out a breath, feeling a little complaining, a little embarrassed, and a little scared.
This is no longer a world with a kind and gentle atmosphere; we can no longer simply admire beautiful women as we used to!
If he's not careful, and the beauty turns out to be a powerful figure, his life might be over!
Besides, this is the territory of the Azure Dragon Academy, not their Gunmu City at all. The You family, to which he belongs, can handle anything!
Thinking of this, the young master sighed again.
Actually, he didn't mean any harm; he was just looking at it and didn't intend to offend anyone... Well, maybe looking at it was already offensive in itself.
But it was purely instinctive on his part; he really didn't do it on purpose!
Sometimes, he doesn't even notice it himself.
Well...maybe...perhaps a little innocent.
·
The young man forced himself to resist turning his head to steal a glance.
He pressed his fan to his lips, secretly recalling what he had seen earlier.
That was a really handsome guy.
There are already many handsome men and beautiful women in this world, and he has seen many of them, but none of them can compare to the one before!
If someone is only good-looking, it's not enough to move him.
But just before that, he had only glanced at it casually and couldn't help but admire it.
He even felt a chill run down his spine.
This shows that the other party's temperament may seem peaceful, but is actually dangerous.
That dangerous beauty...
He really couldn't help but look at it more.
·
The young master's name was You Xiang, and he was a transmigrator from another book.
He traveled back in time to fifteen years ago.
Before transmigrating into the book, he died in a car accident, and after his death, he had no idea what happened; his memory was completely blank.
When he woke up again, he had become a ten-year-old child.
It is said that this child was too stubborn. Despite having only the top-grade Xuan-level aptitude, he insisted on learning from his older brother, who was at the top-grade Di-level, and ended up having internal problems and fainting.
If the venomous creature can revive inside a child's body, then the child is truly dead.
As an adult, You Xiang quickly processed the child's memories, then lay in bed pretending to be melancholy, secretly studying the child's behavior countless times and imitating it countless times.
Finally, once You Xiang was confident that he could get away with it, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and began to pretend.
And indeed, it wasn't discovered by relatives and friends.
You Xiang's personality was different from the original owner's. He knew he couldn't pretend forever, so he pretended to be greatly affected by the previous fainting incident and stopped forcing himself to cultivate.
After that, he gradually began to live and cultivate himself at his own pace.
He has always had a good relationship with his family.
His highly qualified older brother, in particular, always took good care of him.
As he grew older, You Xiang gradually encountered many beautiful women.
Perhaps it was because he gradually relaxed and fully integrated into the world that his hobby quietly reappeared.
Fortunately, he was young and hadn't seen many outsiders before.
Otherwise, You Xiang would have to think of other ways to explain how he suddenly developed this hobby.
·
While he could look around, he still longed to find a true love and partner, so he only looked and never touched anyone.
He had already made up his mind. Since he didn't understand many of the secrets of this world, he might as well just follow the family's arrangements and have more security in the future.
However, You Xiang never expected that his family had indeed made arrangements for him, but they arranged for him to apply to the damned Xiaotian Sect, which was located more than a dozen cities away!
When he first heard it, You Xiang just felt that it sounded somewhat familiar.
Then, his elder brother patiently explained the sect to him.
The Xiaotian Sect is a level six power, and it has experts who have reached the Palace Construct stage.
Although the experts who had reached the Palace Construct realm had been in seclusion for a long time, the sect still had five main peaks, each with a peak Fusion Realm expert, as well as many Fusion Realm elders who were slightly lower in cultivation level...
What are those main peaks called...?
What are the names of the peak masters of the main peak...?
As he listened, You Xiang's face twitched and his heart pounded.
What the hell is going on?!
He actually transmigrated directly into the book!
Who else is as unlucky as him, living here for over ten years only to find out that this is a transmigration into a book!
You Xiang had difficulty breathing and desperately needed oxygen.
Later, he pondered for a long time and then sent his subordinates to inquire about the information.
This time, You Xiang wasn't as careless as before; he carefully compared and tried hard to recall.
After feeling frustrated, one must calm down.
You Xiang remembered that the day he had the car accident was his day off. He had found a good fantasy novel and was planning to read it all night after he got back.
The result was that it stopped halfway through...
He had already read seven or eight hundred chapters of that novel, and he remembered many of the plot points clearly back then. Unfortunately, so much time had passed that he couldn't recall much of it at all.
I vaguely remember that the Xiaotian Sect was a sect that the protagonist had entered, and he was quite prominent in that sect for a while because of his own talent and combat strength.
Unfortunately, although the atmosphere within the Xiaotian Sect seemed good, there was actually a group of people who could not be offended—the sect leader's faction.
Coincidentally, the sect leader's beloved son was originally the most talented in the sect, but because he was always outshone by the protagonist, he became jealous and resentful, and from then on began to harass the protagonist and even tried to frame him.
The protagonist is betrayed during a training exercise. He returns to his sect but cannot get justice. He is even betrayed again by the sect because of his trust in it, and almost dies!
Finally, the protagonist defected.
Therefore, the Xiaotian Sect issued a warrant for the protagonist's arrest, and the protagonist suffered a lot in order to escape.
Fortunately, the protagonist's harem appeared and protected him, allowing him to escape successfully.
However, life is still not easy for the protagonist if he is alone. Therefore, after careful selection, he learned that Phoenix Academy was recruiting disciples, so he couldn't wait to go there.
After that, the protagonist naturally entered the academy without any problems.
Unfortunately, the mentor who chose him had actually had a brief affair with the sect leader of the Xiaotian Sect.
The mentor gave his former lover some face by specifically choosing the protagonist to be under his wing, and even targeted him several times.
The protagonist had no choice but to endure it.
Fortunately, the mentor has a daughter, who is the protagonist's senior, and has a good impression of the protagonist.
After discovering the protagonist's many virtues, such as perseverance and strong will, she developed feelings for him.
Under the protection of her senior sister, the mentor gradually loosened his grip—fortunately, the senior sister was not the mentor's daughter with the sect leader of Xiaotian Sect.
The protagonist's life finally became easier.
However, the protagonist still suffered a lot throughout the process.
It was a very bumpy road.
Moreover, despite being a terrible mentor to the protagonist, he still caused the protagonist a lot of trouble.
During a certain training exercise, Phoenix Academy was with several other academies, among which Azure Dragon Academy had the strongest overall strength. However, one of Azure Dragon Academy's genius disciples' mentors had a feud with the protagonist's mentor.
That Azure Dragon genius naturally wanted to find out about the protagonist's business.
The protagonist is weaker than his opponent and struggles to cope.
That genius was somewhat reasonable; although he dealt with the protagonist, he didn't kill him.
The protagonist doesn't have a bad impression of the genius, but unfortunately, the two mentors have a terrible relationship, so they can't be friends.
And then...
·
You Xiang slowly sorted through the events, going over all the plot points he could still remember.
After that, his biggest thought was that it was fortunate the You family had never appeared in the story.
Forces without any background may be the first to be abandoned in the tide, but they may also be able to strive for a better outcome because they are not glossed over.
The You family is merely a level five power, practically insignificant...
After much deliberation, You Xiang decided not to follow the protagonist.
According to his calculations, the protagonist wasn't even born when he transmigrated, and by the time the protagonist followed the plot, he was already quite old.
Just then, he learned from the background that Azure Dragon Academy was about to recruit disciples, so why didn't he simply become an abbot of Azure Dragon?
The protagonist didn't go to Canglong at all; he went into Fengwu.
So whether the protagonist is in Xiaotian Sect or Fengwu, for a long period of time as the story unfolds, he has nothing to do with it.
Even when Fengwu and Canglong faced off, it was a contest or a competition for resources. He could choose not to fight for a spot and just stay in the academy!
If he stays away from the main character, he won't get involved in the plot, and he can then find a way to keep the You family out of the story.
He and his family were safe.
·
Thinking of this, You Xiang immediately went to see his elder brother and told him about his idea of entering the Azure Dragon Academy.
After investigating, his elder brother found that it was the perfect time for him to become an in-law, so he did not stop him.
After all, Azure Dragon Academy is far superior to Howling Sky Sect... If you don't get into Azure Dragon Academy, it's not too late to go to Howling Sky Sect later.
