Several classmates looked at Chen Yi, who was focused on drawing talismans, in shock.
"Of course it's true! You can check it out on the forum if you don't believe me!"
"I was busy practicing my skills yesterday and didn't check the school forum much."
Xiande Middle School has a student forum.
The app is fully functional, offering services such as selling elixirs and talismans, sharing interesting stories, and finding cultivation partners...
If anyone gets into trouble on campus, it gets posted online and becomes the talk of the town.
A classmate logged onto the forum to confirm: "Holy crap! It's true! Yu Wanbai and Class Monitor Zhao both lost to him..."
"Tsk! It seems that Chen Yi's talisman skills may have surpassed mine."
"Let me tell you something you don't know."
Several students who arrived early whispered among themselves, occasionally cracking a joke.
"That's not all. I also saw footage of Wu Lingyao and Chen Yi practicing swordsmanship at the martial arts arena the night before last."
"Holy crap! Let me see!"
Someone posted photos of Wu Lingyao teaching swordsmanship at the martial arts arena that day.
"Dude, your photos are outdated. I have photos of them having late-night snacks together."
"This is absolutely damnable!"
The boys' jealousy ignited instantly.
This is Wu Lingyao, one of the three golden flowers!
He usually has an icy demeanor and only likes to be with his sword. How could he be so familiar with Chen Yi?
"I can't accept this!"
The boys started wailing and howling.
Chen Yi remained unmoved by this and focused on drawing his talismans.
When he finished drawing the third talisman, Yu Wanbai arrived.
Her gaze towards Chen Yi was somewhat unfocused.
She saw the photos of Wu Lingyao practicing swordsmanship with Chen Yi on the street just now.
Is it because of Wu Lingyao that he doesn't want to talk to me?
Yu Wanbai sighed softly.
Although Wu Lingyao is beautiful, her family is not wealthy.
In this world of cultivation, without a powerful family background, it's difficult to reach higher levels...
So, in what way can she compare to me?
Yu Wanbai was completely baffled.
A moment later, Zhao Manjin also arrived at the classroom.
With so many underlings, he naturally heard about Chen Yi's gossip.
Many people on the forum are now comparing him to Chen Yi, saying that Chen Yi should also be on the campus popularity list.
There's an interesting saying among students at Xiande High School: Anyone who consistently dominates the campus popularity charts is only one graduation away from becoming a legend.
After all, the 100-day countdown rally, the talisman society competition, and his close relationship with two of the "Three Golden Flowers" (a group of three prominent female figures in Chinese folklore) have all kept Chen Yi's name frequently appearing on the forum's gossip list...
This made Zhao Manjin clench his fists secretly.
It was one thing that he was so close to Yu Wanbai before, but now he's hooked up with another woman.
Even Zhao Manjin had barely spoken a few words to Wu Lingyao...
If one could find a Daoist partner like Fairy Wu on the path of cultivation, it would be a great blessing in life.
Unfortunately, it was Chen Yi who won Wu Xianzi's favor.
"Heh! A guy with a mountain of debt, let's see how long you can keep jumping around." Zhao Manjin sneered inwardly.
Once the immortal examination is over, with the support of his family, Chen Yi will be nothing more than a roadside figure to him.
Putting aside the celestial examination, even the monthly exam four days later, Chen Yi might not be able to do better than him.
After all, his aptitude was simply too poor. Even though he had grasped the essence of talismans and had some understanding of magic, he was still at a disadvantage in terms of cultivation level and body tempering...
Moreover, Zhao Manjin knew where Chen Yi's previous loans came from.
During those days, Chen Yi asked around for money, but no one was willing to help.
Soon after, he went into the principal's office with his mobile phone. When he came out, there were twenty more loan apps on his phone.
Judging by the timeline, it should be close to the loan repayment deadline.
If Chen Yi is unable to repay the interest and part of the principal, the principal's memorial banner will likely need to add another model worker...
Zhao Manjin shook his head. "Does someone like that even deserve to be compared to me?"
Three minutes later, class began.
In the talisman class, Chen Yi continued to perform steadily.
That morning, Fu Xin had everyone review the "invisibility talisman" and the "communication talisman".
Invisibility talismans need no introduction, but in this modern cultivation world, communication talismans still hold a place.
This is because there is no cell phone signal in those secret realms, and in such situations, message talismans often work wonders.
Chen Yi reaffirmed that, aside from making loans and payments easier, the other functions of mobile phones in this world are secondary...
After reviewing the lesson, Chen Yi once again drew near-perfect "invisibility symbols" and "message symbols".
Fu Xin looked at Chen Yi as if he were looking at a precious gem.
Although this precious jade had been right under his nose before, it had remained undiscovered for many years due to being covered in dust.
He can now say without any hesitation: "Chen Yi is a fucking genius in the art of talismans!"
However, what Chen Yi was more concerned about was that since his reached level 1, his proficiency in mastering new talismans had increased much less.
Upgrading from level 1 to level 2 may seem like increasing proficiency from 100 to 200 points, but the difficulty is far greater than the previous 100 proficiency points.
He originally thought that once the talisman reached level 1, it would be the limit of the Qi Refining stage.
But ever since he learned about the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, he has known that it was not so.
I'm afraid we can only start to compete with the Foundation Establishment stage once the reaches level 2.
The talismans he draws at this stage are more than enough to deal with those below the Qi Refining Perfection stage, but they are clearly not enough to deal with those above the 10th level of the Qi Refining stage.
"Ring ring!"
get out of class is over.
On his way to the canteen, Chen Yi glanced at the control panel.
Talisman lv.1 - Proficiency 130/200 (+10)
Although the improvement speed has slowed down, as long as you persevere, you will eventually reach level 2, and that day is not far away.
During the scheduled lunch break, Chen Yi did not eat but instead found a place to meditate.
Wu Lingyao is right. Activating one's cultivation technique and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can indeed alleviate hunger.
It's just that the amount of spiritual energy that can be absorbed during the Qi Refining stage is limited, so it cannot completely replace eating.
However, reducing food intake is still possible.
Chen Yi estimated that if he practiced breathing exercises for half an hour at noon, half an hour during dinner, and continued to practice breathing exercises during his evening "Qi" practice, he could save a meal.
In this way, one meal a day is enough to barely sustain them.
It saves money, reduces the accumulation of impurities in the body, and can also improve one's cultivation level. It's a win-win situation!
The only price to pay is to suppress one's appetite and no longer enjoy the stimulation of the taste buds.
......
The afternoon class wasn't about beast taming, but about body training.
The person who taught everyone how to exercise was none other than their homeroom teacher, Liu Qing.
In my memory, this bald man was incredibly ruthless.
"Your beast-taming teacher is busy today, so we'll have a physical training class instead."
The students whispered among themselves, "What could Qin Guan possibly be up to? He's probably hooking up with some pretty female cultivator again."
Liu Qing squinted, his gaze sweeping over the crowd before finally settling on Chen Yi's face.
He has been paying close attention to Chen Yi these past two days.
The other party did indeed give him a huge surprise...
"As cultivators of the new era, you must understand the importance of all-round development; your body is also an important weapon!"
"As the saying goes, it is like cleansing the tendons and marrow, transforming one's body and bones."
"Since this is a new era, let's stop imitating the old methods; they're too slow!"
Liu Qing said a lot, just to set the stage for this last sentence:
"I recently received some new stock. Anyone who wants to try it can contact me to buy it!"
After saying that, he took out a series of brightly colored medicines.
"Vampire Dragon, Strong-necked Dragon, Double-bone Dragon, Velociraptor..."
"Hiss! Isn't this the Nine Dragons Power Body Tempering Pill that many body tempering streamers have been recommending lately?"
"It has to be you, Lao Liu! Give me one!"
Several burly students immediately contributed money to support the cause.
"Teacher, I don't have enough money in my account."
"What? Not enough money?" Liu Qing raised an eyebrow. "It's okay, give me your phone. Come on, open your mouth and shake your head!"
Wow! Ten thousand yuan? Thank you, teacher!
Chen Yi's eyelids twitched violently as he read it.
Suddenly, a large hand pressed down on his shoulder, without any magical fluctuations, yet it rendered him unable to move.
This is pure physical strength!
He looked up abruptly and was met with Liu Qing's slightly sinister smile:
"Chen Yi, your physical education grades seem to be dragging down the class average..."
