Although the students in the academy are excellent, few of them appreciate each other. Those who like them look down on me, and those who like me don't like me. This goes on and on, which is a strange chain of contempt.

But there are indeed partners like Xia Xiao and Azhu, such as Tianming and Fenglu, a black dragon and an ice phoenix, who amaze everyone with their temperament when they travel together. There are also Xie Yi and Xia Wan, although one is in the academy and the other is in the outside world, but Xie Yi is alone, but it's like there are two people, if there is someone he wants to see, he will not be lonely.

Many students had mixed emotions, most of them sighed. Chang Renjie turned around and went back to his room after seeing this, and began to reflect and examine himself deeply. Why was he not as good as Xia Xiao? His talent was certainly not as good, but he clearly had more time to find a partner, but he never succeeded. It was really shameful.

Unlike everyone else, Wang Ling stood in the corridor in front of the door for a long time. Even when Xia Xiao cast his eyes in his direction, he did not avoid it, but he did not show any goodwill. However, looking at Xia Xiao and Azhu, his face was as gloomy as autumn water, and the arrival of spring could not melt his coldness at all. Just like Xia Xiao was around, he could never stand above everyone like before.

This made Wang Ling jealous, but every time he felt this way, a burly instructor would appear behind him.

"How many times have I told you that you can envy him, but you can't be jealous of him."

Before Wang Ling could say anything, the door was kicked open. The instructor grabbed his head, dragged him back to the room, and pressed his face hard to the ground, breaking the floor into pieces.

Although a few streaks of blood flowed, Wang Ling just gritted his teeth and said apologetically:

"Teacher, I'm sorry."

After hearing his apology, the teacher couldn't bear it and said earnestly:

"Wang Ling, that emotion will only harm you. Don't let it cloud your mind and confuse your mind. You can't change others, you can only change yourself!"

Even though he felt unwilling and had strong negative emotions, Wang Ling still nodded, then stood up, formed a seal, concentrated his mind and devoted himself to practice.

Just like the teacher said, there was no shortage of people in the academy who were obsessed with jealousy. So he had to calm down and practice well. If he lost his life because of something like this, it would be a real disgrace.

Every student on the mountain has the utmost respect and reliance on teachers, and the relationship is no less than that between father and son and brothers.

For Wang Ling, the teacher's teachings and constant persuasion were much more practical than the few flashy words of encouragement from his father who sat on the high throne. Therefore, he could ignore other people's words, but he must seriously practice the teacher's words!

In the sea of ​​spirit, the flames never cease to burn. There is a big tree with extremely lush fiery branches and leaves, and many fruits are hidden in it. Each one is like a furnace, with flames rising and rolling. It is only slightly larger than a marble, but the vitality contained in it is like a huge volcano.

This metaphor is not an exaggeration, each vitality fruit is a highly compressed product of vitality. But before it matures, it cannot burst out with such terrifying power, nor can it send volcanic ash into the sky.

Wang Ling's current practice is to transform his vital energy into nutrients, making the fruits under the leaves of the flame tree fuller.

This is an extremely long process. He has been in the stage of fruit for half a year, but the fruit grows very slowly. If this continues, it will be difficult for him to reach the level of Qulun in the next year and a half, and it may even be out of reach. But whether to stay here is still an extremely difficult choice.

The throne was not far away for Wang Ling. On the contrary, because of the thoughts of his father and the ministers, he had a high chance of inheriting it. But before that, he had to carefully walk the path under his feet. He suddenly turned around and got back on track, because he knew that if his thoughts were too far away, he would be hit hard by the instructor. He was beaten all over during this period and could not be distracted anymore.

What Wang Ling was doing at this time, Xia Xiao was also doing.

Working hard to precipitate the vitality and make the vitality fruit grow is the only way for every noble fruit cultivator. But Xia Xiao is destined to take a long time on this road, because he wasted so much time on detoxification. He entered the fruit realm earlier than Wang Ling, but the size of his fruit is almost the same as the latter.

Being caught up was expected, Wang Ling and his men were not useless. But overtaking quickly was what Xia Xiao was doing. It would take a long time to do, at least not this month. But in the next month of practice, Wang Ling would find that Xia Xiao was gradually running ahead of him. Although the gap was only a few centimeters at the beginning, the gap always started from centimeters, until hundreds of meters or kilometers, and even beyond reach.

"Begin practicing!"

"come on!"

Xia Xiao and Azhu encouraged each other to drive away the fatigue of repetitive life. Then they sat cross-legged in each other's eyes full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit, and began to absorb vitality by making hand seals.

Against the backdrop of the starry sky, vital energy continuously flowed through Ah Zhu's veins into her body, nourishing her and beginning to water the small vital energy tree with only nine leaves.

Xia Xiao's tree also continued to grow from that form, just like a babbling child, it will eventually grow into a slender woman or a capable man, it just takes time and a lot of external things.

Compared to human growth, the things needed by the Vitality Tree are extremely simple. The former requires nutrition, knowledge, exercise, and comprehensive development. All these together make humans the most tired animals. On the premise of ensuring survival, there are also sentiments and morals to be observed, and laws to be followed. But what the Vitality Tree needs is Vitality, and only Vitality! As long as the Vitality is sufficient, pure enough, and the practitioner's mind is not wrong, it can thrive.

Xia Xiao absorbed the energy very quickly, after all, he could rely on the four elements to absorb it together. He took the energy into his body like drinking water instead of into his stomach, and then poured the extremely pure, even water-like energy under the energy tree.

In the glittering and shining light of vitality, the trees did not change much, the leaves just swayed as if there was wind blowing, and the many green fruit eggs on the branches were growing at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye.

Every time the Yuanqi Fruit grows a little bigger, its color changes, like a few drops of darker ink gradually spreading its original color in the water.

The miraculous changes made Xia Xiao immersed in the repeated process of absorbing and precipitating vital energy. The vital energy fruit also grew bigger day by day, from being only slightly larger than a marble at the beginning to gradually becoming as big as a fruit core.

Xia Xiao's analogy made Ah Zhu clearly understand the changes in the vitality fruit in his body, and he expected it to grow bigger. This kind of practice was constantly repeated, day after day, but Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu had their own pursuits, the former looked at the size of the fruit, and the latter looked at the number of leaves, and they ran desperately forward, unwilling to stop.

Xia Xiao was very addicted to this kind of life, especially at night when he was too sleepy to open his eyes, or when he once again confirmed that his vitality fruit had grown, he would know that his day was not wasted, and then he would fall asleep very peacefully. If he spent the day carelessly, he would only condemn himself and carry a heavy sense of guilt, and he would not lie in Ah Zhu's soft arms and snore like he did now.

"You're crushing me."

When Ah Zhu was mumbling in the night, Xia Xiao squinted his eyes, moved away, and held him in his arms with one hand. He was not afraid of being pressed and could press him as he pleased.

Perhaps for many elders, such a cohabitation life is somewhat difficult to understand and bold. In fact, it is the same for Xia Xiao himself, and it is an incredible behavior. However, many things are not like cultivation, where you get what you pay for. If you are a little lazy, you will fall behind. So he goes with the flow and does not force himself to do anything. The result is more comfortable than he imagined.
