Chapter 701: The Strong Mindset

Meng Jingzhou, who was originally grinning, suddenly calmed down after hearing Lu Yang's words and straightened his collar which was not messy at all.

"Nonsense, who is jealous of this kid?"

"I'm just worried that his luck with women is too strong and could easily turn into a romantic disaster."

Lu Yang nodded, as if he believed Meng Jingzhou's lies.

"But you said he was cursed. What's going on?"

Meng Jingzhou was once hit by the backlash of a curse and traveled to Huangzhou to seek a solution. He knew how difficult it was to deal with a curse.

Lu Yang turned around and asked the Immortal Fairy: "Fairy, can you tell me in detail?"

"It's a simple little curse that doesn't even work on a monk. It just speeds up the heartbeat of a young woman he touches. If it continues for a long time, she'll have a heart attack."

"The problem is not serious now. It has not yet reached the level of illness. But if things go on for a long time, something bad will definitely happen."

"Can you tell me who did this?"

“I don’t know.”

"Is there a way to break the curse?"

"That's easy. I remember that your identity jade token contains Xirang, Wood Essence, and Thousand Illusion Bamboo... As long as you refine these things into pills according to the proportions, you can break the curse."

This was different from the backlash of the curse that Meng Jingzhou encountered last time. The level of that curse was too high and the Immortal Fairy was not good at it, so she could only think of playing dead. This time was different. For her, this was an entry-level small curse. She had encountered it many times in ancient times and was able to handle it with ease.

"To make the pill, it seems we need to find an alchemist." Neither Lu Yang nor Meng Jingzhou knew how to make pills.

As long as the curse can be broken, the person who cast the curse will naturally surface once he discovers something unusual.

The two followed Gu Junye back home. The Gu family was a famous Jindan family in the local area. He was the second son of the head of the family and had an independent courtyard.

He returned to the courtyard and finished the homework assigned by the academy as usual. It was already night.

He stood in the yard, opened his arms, slowly closed his eyes, and bathed in the moonlight.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at the bright silver moon in the sky. His eyes revealed reminiscence, as if he was missing an ancient person.

He retracted his gaze and sighed softly, "I never thought that even the power of the moonlight is so weak. The day of recovery is far away. I don't know when my cultivation will be restored. Could it be that now is the end of the Dharma era?"

"I really miss the me who used to roam the world. I wonder if people still remember my name as the Lord of All Laws. I'm afraid they don't anymore."

"The ancients are gone, and the past cannot be retrieved."

He felt a sharp pain in his right eye, so he covered his right eye and said with gritted teeth, "Daoist Tuntian, you are probably the only one in the world who still remembers me."

"Master, it's time for dinner." The butler said respectfully at the door.

Gu Junye retracted his nostalgic emotion and said, "I never thought that I can't even do the fasting now. If Xuanyuan Sword Master and the Sage Bupo knew about this, I'm afraid they would laugh their heads off."

"We have your favorite ginseng duck soup."

"Got it. I'll go right away."

After having dinner with his family, Gu Junye returned to his room, took out his writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to grind the paint.

He stared at the tip of the brush intently and held his breath. An hour later, a picture of "The Taoist Master of All Laws Proving the Way" appeared on the paper, and his life in his previous life was written in the blank space.

He started practicing at the age of sixteen, established his foundation at the age of seventeen, reached Golden Elixir at the age of eighteen, and Nascent Soul at the age of nineteen. He broke the fastest practice speed and became the youngest Nascent Soul cultivator. He was feared by countless Nascent Soul monsters and they called him Fellow Daoist.

Gu Junye put down the brush and looked at the painting with satisfaction. He was known as the "Painting Saint" in his previous life. Although most of his skills had been lost, it was still not difficult for him to paint this kind of picture.

He packed up his study and fell asleep peacefully.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou hid on the roof, looking around awkwardly, and really didn't want to continue supervising Gu Junye.

"Old Lu, you stay here and watch over this kid. I'm going to go out for a walk."

Lu Yang grabbed Meng Jingzhou who was about to run away and said, "Don't even think about running away. Didn't you forget the oath you swore when you became sworn brothers? We will share the good times and the bad times together!"

Meng Jingzhou angrily said: "Bullshit, who has ever sworn brotherhood with you?"

"I think this boy is very suitable for cultivation." The Immortal Fairy made an arbitrary conclusion after observing for most of the day.

"Why?" Lu Yang was puzzled.

"Ying Tianxian and the others used to talk like this, and they said it was the mentality of a strong person. They asked me to learn from them. Although I don't quite understand their ideas, I believe they have their merits, and they may indeed be helpful for cultivation."

Lu Yang: “…”

Early in the morning, Gu Junye washed his face, tidied himself up, and ran to the academy.

"The great age is coming. Although I am not yet old enough to practice cultivation, I can prepare in advance by running to strengthen my body and exercise my physical fitness."

Gu Junye got into position, his eyes cold and determined, and ran quickly towards the academy.

Gu Junye likes to run in the early morning the most. There are few pedestrians on the streets in the early morning, so he doesn’t have to worry about bumping into pedestrians when running.

When he ran to a street corner, a figure suddenly rushed out. It was the pitiful Mu Xi.

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)

Gu Junye has the habit of running to the academy. This is a well-known fact. Mu Xi waited here early just to bump into Gu Junye! The plan succeeded! Mu Xi looked at Gu Junye who was getting closer and closer and couldn't stop. She was delighted and pretended to be frightened. She screamed and didn't know where to put her hands, so that Gu Junye could hug her.

Soon Mu Xi couldn't laugh anymore. Gu Junye knocked her two meters away and she fell to the ground, dizzy.

"Junior Sister Mu Xi, are you okay?" Gu Junye looked at Mu Xi warily. With his eyes as the Lord of All Laws, he believed that this woman might have a seductive immortal body and would bring disaster to the country in the future. He should not have too much contact with her.

"No, it's okay." Mu Xi felt that when Gu Junye bumped into her, it was like being hit by a carriage. She was dizzy now.

Although he would cause trouble to the country in the future, it was he who knocked him down after all, so Gu Junye kindly pulled Mu Xi up.

"Thank you, Brother Junye."

Gu Junye frowned and corrected: "There is a difference between men and women. There is not much relationship between you and me. You can't call me so intimately."

"And your academic performance is too poor. My mother taught me since I was a child not to be with someone with poor academic performance."

Mu Xi: “…”

Out of guilt, Gu Junye sent Mu Xi to the academy. Mu Xi's cheeks turned slightly red. The male classmates in the academy saw this scene and felt jealous.

The same goes for female classmates.

However, some classmates think that they are a perfect match made in heaven, with both of them being talented and beautiful.

Mu Xi secretly looked up to observe Gu Junye's reaction. Gu Junye noticed that Mu Xi was looking at him and frowned secretly. Could it be that Mu Xi saw that there was a Heaven-Devouring Beast sealed in his eyes?

The teacher came to the stage with a ruler and textbook and started today's learning.

The academy advocates that students should not only study hard but also keep fit. After talking for an hour, the academy asked students to run around the academy.

After finishing the run, Mu Xi's face changed.

"Junior Sister Mu Xi, what's wrong?"

"I lost the jade bracelet my father gave me! I put it in a book when I was running, and now I can't find it!"

"What? What should I do?"

The classmates were a little flustered after hearing this, because everyone knew that Mu Xi had a jade bracelet, which was very valuable.

"Search, it must be hiding in this room!"

"Yes, it must be here!"

I don’t know who proposed it, but the students echoed it.

Soon, the jade bracelet was found.

"Mu Yu, it turned out to be you who stole it!"
