Chapter 105 Another Epiphany
On a floating fairy pavilion near the meditation room, all the students of Xunzhen Academy's elite class were crowded. Everyone stared at the closed meditation room not far away, with mixed expressions on their faces.
They were happy that their classmate had actually broken through to the Jindan stage directly and was ahead of everyone else, truly a super genius. He was also worried that as she was the first person to break through to the Golden Core stage, he didn't know what situations she would encounter and whether she could succeed.
From time to time, Gu Jiayan looked up at the calamity clouds in the sky, with an unprecedented anxiety in his eyes. His sister has been very strong since she was a child and has suffered countless hardships. He believes that since she has chosen to break through, she must be sure of it. He just needs to wait for her to successfully come out.
But as a brother, Gu Jiayan really couldn't feel at ease. Even though I know that Master will stay by Chu Yi's side and protect her safety, I still can't feel at ease. Originally, he thought that it would not be so easy to break through to the Jindan stage. After he mastered the weapon refining methods recorded in his family, he would refine some magic weapons for Chu Yi to protect her and also to prepare for future breakthroughs and tribulations.
Although their master also gave them defensive magic weapons and even spiritual weapons, Gu Jiayan still wanted to tailor a growth-shaped magic weapon that would be most suitable for Chu Yi.
Even the materials were ready, inside the family ring he inherited. It was a material that was very precious in ancient times - the Delonix regia.
The Delonix regia is a sacred object of the Phoenix clan. It grows in the blood of countless phoenixes and possesses extraordinary powers. According to a weapon refining atlas collected by the Gu family, using the phoenix wood as the main material, supplemented by countless natural treasures of similar level, it is possible to refine a natal spiritual treasure.
Not to mention the benefits of a spiritual treasure like a companion, which can grow with its master, adjust its own status according to the master, and progress with the master, etc., all those that can be used as a natal weapon have these functions. The most valuable thing about it is a function that it has. This ability alone attracted countless monks to it in ancient times.
Because it is watered with the blood of the phoenix, it possesses the same attribute as the phoenix - nirvana and rebirth.
In other words, for a cultivator who is bound to this natal spiritual treasure, even if he is facing the situation of being torn to pieces by the soul, it can still save him. It can not only nourish the soul, but also reshape the body, directly giving the new body the most top-level spiritual talent. Its effect is no worse than that of immortal weapon.
Moreover, it has high requirements for raw materials, but not high requirements for the level of refining, at least not particularly high. In particular, the ancestors of the Gu family had already collected a complete set of materials, and some difficult-to-process materials had also been processed in advance, leaving only the final fusion and refining.
Gu Jiayan originally planned to wait until he was promoted to the fusion stage before starting to learn refining equipment, and then refine the spirit embryo before the golden elixir stage and give it to Chu Yi to nurture.
As his weapon-refining skills gradually improve, he can slowly perfect this magical treasure, giving Chu Yi a life-saving trump card.
Who knows that things are so unpredictable. Chu Yi broke through the Jindan stage directly during her first epiphany. She had not learned anything yet and had to face the heavenly tribulation. How could this make Gu Jiayan feel at ease?
While he was worried, he silently decided in his heart that when he returned, he would start studying refining equipment and also learn alchemy at the same time. In the path of cultivation, no plan is as effective as immediate action. He has learned a lesson this time and will never let this situation happen again.
Compared to Gu Jiayan's entanglement and self-blame, the other students' moods were much simpler. Everyone only has envy and admiration for Chu Yi in their hearts. Even though they are all geniuses in the eyes of outsiders, they are still not good enough in front of the real genius.
I have to work harder in the future.
As the ancients said: The success of a genius is also 1% talent plus 99% hard work. They are lucky enough to have that one percent of talent, but the remaining 99 percent of hard work is also essential.
The students from the elite class waited near the meditation room for a while, and the students from the ordinary class also rushed over.
Today, Teacher Bai Zhi, who taught the regular class students, led the students to the fairy pavilion next to them, and then came to their side to communicate with Teacher Wen Ting who was standing there.
"Miss Chu Yi has a very good comprehension. She has broken through the golden elixir so quickly." Bai Zhi praised. This aptitude is considered very outstanding in the ancient times when there were many talented people. Many famous sects cannot find anyone who can match him.
If a family has such a person, they will be the ones to enjoy all the glory in the following era. The growth rate of a super genius will be beyond the reach of everyone. As long as we can protect him well in the early stage, he will definitely make the entire sect move to a higher level in the future.
Not to mention the modern times when everything is in ruins. Just wait and see, in a few minutes, the hot searches outside will be dominated by the news that Chu Yi has broken through to the Golden Core stage. The identity of 'Chu Yi' will also be deified and admired by hundreds of millions of people.
Bai Zhi's spiritual sense swept over Gu Jiayan, and after sensing his sincere concern, she revealed a satisfied smile.
I wonder what this heir of a great family from ancient times would do?
As the saying goes, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." With Chu Yi's simple and unintelligent character who is unwilling to use his brain, his cultivation career will suddenly encounter numerous crises after being pushed to the top. Gu Jiayan himself was still just a rookie in the enlightenment period and had no capital to protect his sister. Their master was in too high a position and might not notice some small details.
If Chu Yi was really an ordinary lost girl, after this limelight, she might not be able to withstand the overt and covert targeting, and end up being a flash in the pan.
Gu Jiayan treated Chu Yi as her own sister and loved and cared for her. When he suddenly saw her being promoted to such a high position, anyone with a discerning eye could see the anxiety and worry in his heart. I just don't know what solution he will come up with.
Well, although any countermeasures are useless, with these vests around, there is no way Chu Yi could be harmed at all. However, her brother cares about her safety and racks his brains to find ways to help her, so her master should be very happy.
After Bai Zhi guessed Gu Jiayan's thoughts with great interest, she turned her attention back to Chu Yi.
Her road to advancement should be almost over. The thunder tribulation in the sky has completely taken shape, waiting for Chu Yi to come out and receive body tempering.
After being tempered by the tribulation of thunder, the cultivator's body will be more perfect and more suitable for cultivation. At the same time, it can also allow the onlookers to deepen their own understanding, and with a little luck, they may even have an epiphany. That's why they brought all the students from Xunzhen College here to watch the heavenly tribulation.
The Golden Core Tribulation has the least power and is most suitable for cultivators at a similar level to watch, as they will gain more.
Sure enough, Chu Yi's figure soon appeared in front of everyone.
She was wearing the standard school uniform of Xunzhen College. The simple and beautiful clothes made her look even more dazzling. After entering the Jindan stage, that little face became more and more delicate and flawless, almost seeming to glow in the dim environment. She raised her sparkling eyes and looked towards the thunder tribulation. The high fighting spirit in her eyes was like the twinkling stars in the night sky, beautiful and moving.
Sensing the presence of the person involved, the thunderbolt brewed slightly and then struck down fiercely.
A loud bang exploded in everyone's ears.
Fortunately, there are no ordinary people here. After more than a month of guidance from famous teachers, everyone is at least in the integration period. The mere sound of thunder and lightning will not affect their eardrums.
However, when the first thunderbolt struck, everyone's heart was lifted. After Chu Yi caught it easily, he couldn't help but cheer for her.
Only then did Gu Jiayan feel completely relieved. He could take on the first thunder tribulation easily and without any pressure, so he didn't have to worry about the next two. The thunder tribulation in the Jindan stage is not as abnormal as that in the Yuanying stage. As long as the basics are passed, it is very easy for ordinary cultivators to pass the Jindan tribulation.
Only after he put aside his worries did he have the time to observe this thunder tribulation. Since entering school, teachers have always emphasized that if they encounter a cultivator undergoing a tribulation, it is best to observe carefully if possible, as this will be very beneficial to their practice.
The thunder tribulation in the Jindan period is relatively short. Now that the first thunder tribulation has passed, Gu Jiayan must seize the time.
After the first thunderbolt passed, the calamity cloud brewed for a while, and then the second one struck down.
The power of the thunder tribulation will double. The second one will be much more powerful than the first one. It cannot even be called lightning, it is just a pillar of lightning. It is thick enough to fit a person.
Everyone couldn't help but feel nervous again. Even though they knew that Jindan-stage cultivators were not afraid of this threat, the thought of a human being resisting a natural calamity still made the inexperienced modern people tremble with fear. The teachers' celestial demeanor is enviable, but when they think about having to go through such a natural disaster in the future, many people can't help but retreat.
They couldn't help but ask themselves in their hearts: Can they really withstand the test of thunder? They are just ordinary people with unremarkable talents. What if they finally cultivate to the Golden Core Stage, but die in a thunder tribulation?
The more they questioned, the more they wanted to retreat, and some of them even thought about staying in the fusion period.
Bai Zhi and Wen Ting, who were standing in the front, had a full grasp of the psychology of the students behind them. But none of them said anything, nor did they plan to say anything afterwards. From the very beginning of teaching, they knew that these modern people with no foundation would have many obstacles to overcome if they wanted to succeed.
They were under the orders of their master Chu Yi to train as many capable monks as quickly as possible in order to cope with future challenges. But they also have their own pride. A piece of rotten wood with poor talent and unwilling to open up is not worth their attention.
Those students who became afraid and retreated because of a thunder tribulation did not know that if they did not adjust their state as soon as possible, they would probably be abandoned by their teachers. Even if I don’t do anything to them after that, I won’t take them seriously anymore.
Let’s not talk about them. On Chu Yi’s side, the three thunder tribulations of the golden elixir tribulation were soon over.
After the last thunder ended, the thunderclouds in the sky began to fade and turned into nectar, which descended and nourished all things on earth. Countless spiritual energies of extremely high purity were sprinkled onto the heaven and earth, and all living beings present were fortunate enough to enjoy the gift of heaven.
For most students, this gift will only increase the amount of spiritual energy in their bodies, but will not allow them to directly break through the realm. Only a few people in the elite class, who were just one step away from the next small realm, took advantage of this favorable situation.
For example, Qin Hang, Duan Shi, Fang Gaoyi and Shi Fan, before today, their cultivation was stuck at the critical point from the middle to the late stage of enlightenment. When they were stimulated by the pure spiritual energy, they naturally broke through the barrier.
There was nothing special about this kind of breakthrough in a small realm. The spiritual energy around the few people surged for a while and then returned to normal. Their breakthrough would have been very eye-catching, but unfortunately there were other people who were even more eye-catching.
After Gu Jiayan put all his attention into the comprehension of the golden elixir tribulation, he suddenly fell into enlightenment like his sister Chu Yi.
The Dragon King, who was standing in the air on the auspicious clouds, was originally protecting Chu Yi. He sensed from afar that Gu Jiayan had also entered into enlightenment, so he appeared beside Gu Jiayan in a flash and waved his hand to set up a barrier so that he could achieve enlightenment in peace.
Jiang Yongyan, who was not far from Gu Jiayan, also got an opportunity in an unintentional way.
He has had incredible luck since he was young. After he started practicing, his good luck did not disappear. Instead, his luck became better and better as he improved his practice. Today he was just absorbing the pure spiritual energy like everyone else, taking the opportunity to purify the spiritual energy in his body.
Yes, Jiang Yongyan never expected that he could make a breakthrough. Because he had just broken through to the middle stage of enlightenment not long ago and was still some distance away from the late stage, he did not have much hope this time.
But he didn't know what was going on. It seemed that there was still a last bit of heavenly calamity power that had not been consumed in the calamity cloud in the sky. After sensing that his top-grade thunder spirit roots had absorbed the spiritual energy, they all rushed towards him! Jiang Yongyan didn't notice it at first, until this wisp of spiritual energy carrying the power of heavenly thunder rushed into his tendons and veins, he realized something was wrong. But the spiritual energy has already entered the body and entangled with the spiritual energy in his own body. Even during the operation, it merges into flesh and blood.
He practiced the top-grade thunder-cultivation technique that Teacher Wen Ting had specially found, the "Thunder Art". This set of skills was tailor-made for him, and it allowed him to practice several times faster than learning ordinary skills.
The special feature of this technique is that it can induce heavenly thunder to temper the body and make his body more powerful.
Originally, Jiang Yongyan's realm had not yet reached the stage of Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering. This step would not be carried out until he entered the Fusion Stage at least. But now, due to an accident, the golden elixir period's thunder tribulation entered his body and he has no way to expel it.
What else could he do? Jiang Yongyan could only harden his heart, grit his teeth, and work hard to practice his skills in an attempt to refine this trace of the power of the heavenly calamity.
It was mentioned before that his luck was extremely good, so this extreme operation that put his life on the line actually made him successful. The wild power of the heavenly tribulation, like a wild horse, was tamed by Jiang Yongyan and completely integrated into his flesh and blood, allowing his martial arts to directly advance to several levels.
After winning the gamble, the fruit of victory is also very sweet. Jiang Yongyan not only gained advanced skills, but also broke through to the middle stage of fusion, becoming the fourth person in Xunzhen Academy.
I just don’t know to which level Gu Jiayan will break through. If his enlightenment is the same as his sister Chu Yi and he reaches the Jindan stage, then Jiang Yongyan will have to be demoted one level.
Just kidding, students in Xunzhen College don't follow seniority to rank each other. Students with lower cultivation levels will spontaneously respect students with higher cultivation levels, and students with higher cultivation levels will not be arrogant because of their talents. The atmosphere in the academy is very upright.
Teachers are happy with this situation, so it doesn't matter if modern students don't respect their teachers like fathers like they did in ancient times.
When Jiang Yongyan had consolidated his realm a little and came out of the barrier set up for him by Teacher Wen Ting, Gu Jiayan was still in the state of enlightenment. He bowed slightly to Teacher Wen Ting, thanking the teacher for his help.
Wen Ting smiled good-naturedly and said, "Go to the meditation room later to consolidate your realm and practice the first few levels of the Thunder Art. The power of the heavenly tribulation will be temporarily stored in your flesh and blood. Before it disappears, you should be able to advance one more level in your skills."
"Yes, I obey your command." Jiang Yongyan bowed his head respectfully and accepted the teacher's advice.
He indeed felt that the trace of the power of the heavenly tribulation had not completely disappeared and was still flowing in his flesh and blood, improving his physical strength bit by bit. If you continue to practice the skills to temper your body at this time, you can indeed reach a higher level.
He looked at Gu Jiayan who was still in enlightenment, then turned his head to his good friend Tang Wenlin who had been guarding him with concern, and said, "Old Tang, I'm going to retreat first."
There's no point for him to stay here anyway, so he might as well go about his own business.
"Okay, go ahead." Tang Wenlin nodded and watched his friend take off into the air and fly towards the meditation room in front. After his friend completely disappeared, he turned his attention to Gu Jiayan.
Now, besides the students from the elite class, there are three seniors here. The students in the regular class have already left, and they also need to go to their own meditation rooms to consolidate what they have gained today. The meditation room here is exclusively for the elite class, while the ordinary class uses it near their dormitories.
The two meditation rooms are not designed together simply for convenience; the internal facilities of both are the same.
Tonight's protagonist Chu Yi was standing beside Long Jun, watching Gu Jiayan's sudden enlightenment and breakthrough together with his master.
Originally, there was no need for everyone to watch over him like this, but after counting with his fingers, Long Jun said that Gu Jiayan's sudden enlightenment this time was only a small one and he would wake up soon. Then Chu Yi said that he wanted to wait here. The other students looked at each other and said that they wanted to stay.
Anyway, everyone is relatively free now, so why not wait here and congratulate your classmates on their breakthroughs? It is also something to be happy about. We can celebrate later. Chu Yi has broken through the Jindan stage. In the past, he would have been ranked first in the country. No, he would have been ranked first in the world.
This is time for a big feast and celebration.
Now they are all in a closed academy. Outsiders can't come in, and they can't go out either. They can't show off to the world, so they can only celebrate among themselves.
Although the hot searches right now are definitely #Chu Yi's breakthrough#, #the world's first golden elixir#, #the first person to grow flowers and practice Taoism#, etc., it seems like everyone is celebrating, but it is different when unrelated people celebrate with your friends.
It’s a pity that Jiang Yongyan has to go consolidate his rare gains and can’t join them, otherwise it would be even more lively. That kid broke through the fusion stage and absorbed the power of the heavenly tribulation, allowing his martial arts to advance by several levels. It's time to celebrate as well.
The Dragon King didn't care about their thoughts and let them be.
The two teachers didn't plan to wait with them. After asking Long Jun for instructions, they left. They have a lot of work to do. Not only do they have to prepare lectures for students, but they also have to prepare props, magical instruments, elixirs, talismans, formation cards, etc.
Cultivation is not just about burying your head to absorb spiritual energy. There is much more to learn than ordinary students outside.
These props are both teaching props and rewards given to students. Before this group of cultivators grows up, the props for growing flowers need to be prepared with the help of their teachers. At least until they successfully learn these additional skills, the teachers will have to work hard.
Then secretly, several teachers had to carry out Chu Yi's orders to suppress the increasingly chaotic situation in various flower-growing areas.
At the beginning, the time for the recovery of spiritual energy was too short and the demons and monsters could not come out, so there was peace everywhere. The human race was developing rapidly with the support of Chu Yi.
However, after such a long time, the spiritual energy content in various places has reached a certain level, and other creatures have begun to emerge. Demons and monsters gradually appeared in people's lives, causing adverse effects on human life.
Especially recently, Chu Yi freed the underworld from the trusteeship of the Heavenly Dao and restored the underworld's self-management, but at the same time did not arrange enough vests to handle affairs. This led to a surge in supernatural incidents such as evil spirits injuring people, and the number of abnormal deaths in various places suddenly soared.
Chu Yi discovered it when he went to the west to construct hell after finishing the underworlds of the same system, such as the Flower Planting and Fusang. She did discover the problem, but she couldn't come up with a good solution for the time being. I can only ask the few fake accounts of Planting Flowers to go around the entire Eastern civilization system when they have time and appropriately suppress any riots that are too severe.
As for the West, she could only place more vests in hell and let them worry more. There are also elves in the human world, and they can at least keep the situation under control.
After Baizhi and Wenting left, only the Venerable Long Jun was left at the scene. Everyone looked at each other, not daring to act rudely in front of the Dragon King, and decisively chose to remain silent.
The group of people stood in silence for a while, and an awkward atmosphere gradually began to fill the air. Everyone actually wanted to chat, but with the presence of a respected figure like Long Jun, it felt like nothing to talk about was appropriate. Even the two girls, Gu Qianwen and Shi Fan, who were the best at livening up the atmosphere, didn't dare to speak.
Chu Yi couldn't stand the gradually tense atmosphere. He looked around, reached out and pulled Long Jun's sleeve, and said in a naturally coquettish tone: "Master, you are here, can you do me a favor?"
Chu Yi is a girl who has been spoiled. Her whole family spoiled her in her previous life. Although she has suffered some hardships in this life, she is also spoiled by the Gu family. So when she gets along with people who are older than her, she will unconsciously act coquettishly towards them.
Of course, they have to be close to each other, as she can't let down her guard with everyone.
When she let the vests operate autonomously, she became a little dependent on them when she interacted with them. Because she knows that these vests will never betray her, and no matter what decision she makes, they will support her unconditionally. So she acted coquettishly very naturally.
However, her words and actions were a bit surprising in the eyes of her classmates. They didn't expect Chu Yi to be so favored by Long Jun. She usually spoke like a junior acting coquettishly to an elder.
Long Jun ignored other people's reactions, and just looked down at Chu Yi gently and asked, "What's the matter?"
"That's right," Chu Yi said as she took two steps to the side and brought Tang Wenlin to Long Jun. After bringing him here, she continued, "Can Master help me activate the power in Tang Wenlin's body?"
Tang Wenlin, who was pulled over, was stuck in his mind. He looked blankly at Chu Yi, then at Long Jun who was so close to him, and he was unable to recover for a long time.
He was just waiting here for his classmates to make a breakthrough, why did it suddenly involve him? ?
The power within him? ? How come he himself doesn't know about it? ? Tang Wenlin felt that his life had been lived in vain as even outsiders did not know the truth about his affairs. But he was really confused, if it was half-demon or something, he would have found it during the test, but it wasn't, which proved that it wasn't a bloodline problem. But if it’s not a bloodline issue, then what could it be? Do we still need the Dragon King to help unblock it?
Not only him, but everyone else present was also confused. What shocking secret is hidden in Tang Wenlin's body? Is it worth asking Long Jun for help as soon as Chu Yi comes out of seclusion?
In fact, things are not as complicated as everyone imagines. Chu Yi really just had a sudden idea.
When she was using the Dragon King vest before, she accidentally saw Tang Wenlin, and just like when she discovered the secret of Gu Jiayan, this time she also saw through the secret in Tang Wenlin's body.
Tang Wenlin’s situation is different from Gu Jiayan’s, he himself should not be aware of it. And if no outsider intervenes, this secret might not be discovered until he breaks through the Nascent Soul stage.
Chu Yi originally didn't plan to intervene, but then she thought that if the seal could be lifted earlier, Tang Wenlin's future would be brighter, and she would also be able to gain a weapon-refining genius.
After the things in his body are unsealed, they become the best magic weapon for refining weapons.
