"What's Zhang Yuan up to? So secretive!"
"He must be brewing Chinese medicine again. I caught him doing it last time!"
"Do you think Zhang Yuan might actually have a health problem?"
As Xie Feng spoke, he picked up a small mirror from the table, looked at himself, and smoothed his handsome hair, muttering to himself, "Still so handsome today!"
"Probably not. I've seen him play basketball, he's as strong as an ox, even the top player from the sports academy isn't a match for him!"
...
Zhang Yuan arrived at the pile of bluestones on the back mountain of the school. After looking around and making sure no one was nearby, he placed the Foundation Establishment Pill along with the blue porcelain bowl into the hidden cave where he had previously stored other pills, allowing the Foundation Establishment Pill to continue absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
After everything was settled, they slowly made their way down the mountain.

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
There are only two months left until the end of the first semester of freshman year.
Tongcheng City has also entered winter. Yesterday the weather was fine, the sun was shining and the temperature was 15 degrees Celsius. Overnight, cold air swept south and dropped the temperature to 9 degrees Celsius!
Nine degrees Celsius is already quite cold in the south.
In addition, Tongcheng University is located by the sea, and the howling sea wind makes winter even colder.
The cold in the South is different from that in the North; it's a bone-chilling cold. And since there's no central heating in the South, getting through the winter relies entirely on sheer willpower. My roommates quietly pulled out their sweaters and down jackets from their closets and put them on.
He was wearing a down jacket wrapped in bamboo poles, breathing on them in the dormitory, complaining about the awful weather, how it suddenly got cold.
The warm breath he exhaled condensed into a white mist in front of him when it met the cold air in the room.
Fei Bo and Xie Feng also put on thick sweaters and coats, plus thermal underwear and long johns, to welcome the arrival of winter.
Throughout the dormitory and school, everyone was wearing thick winter clothes, but Zhang Yuan was still only wearing a short-sleeved shirt with a thin autumn jacket on top. He wasn't wearing any thermal underwear, as if he wasn't cold at all in this winter, with the temperature at 9 degrees Celsius!
Bamboo pole stood at the head of the bed, breathing on it while looking at Zhang Yuan with curiosity.
"Zhang Yuan, aren't you cold wearing so little?"
"It's not cold!!"
Zhang Yuan said casually.
Because of his cultivation, his body was full of vital energy and blood. The acupoints such as Guanyuan, Huiyin, Yaoyangguan, and Dazhui were opened, and they continuously released true energy, making his temperature much higher than that of ordinary people. Therefore, even if the temperature was only 9 degrees Celsius, Zhang Yuan did not feel cold at all.
If it weren't for the need to consider other people's feelings and opinions, and to avoid doing anything too outrageous, he would go out wearing only a short-sleeved shirt and not feel cold at all!
This is the benefit of cultivation!
Feibo tightened his sweater, climbed back into bed, and started scrolling through short videos.
"When you go to the cafeteria later, could you please get me some food packed up? I don't want to go out in this weather, it's freezing!"
Xie Feng: "I don't want to go out either!"
Bamboo Pole: "Alright, everyone skip the meal. I have White Elephant instant noodles, hehe!"
Zhang Yuan pulled his coat up, glanced at his roommates, and thought to himself, "You guys are freezing at 9 degrees Celsius!"
Then he pushed open the door, preparing to go out and continue his cultivation.
When Fei Bo saw Zhang Yuan push open the door, he immediately sat up straight and said obsequiously, "Brother Zhang Yuan, are you going to the cafeteria?"
"Could you bring me some food?!"
Zhang Yuan: Sorry, I'm not going to the cafeteria either. I'm going to exercise in the back mountain!
Fat Bo: Oh my god...
The hill behind the school.
After absorbing spiritual energy in the back mountain for nearly a month, the Foundation Building Pills became increasingly divine, each one emitting a faint golden light, and even a single whiff of them was refreshing.
Zhang Yuan took a green, round bottle of chewing gum out of his coat pocket, unscrewed the cap, and found it to be empty.
He gently placed two Foundation Establishment Pills into the small bottle!
Then put the lid back on and store it in your pocket!
With these two Foundation Establishment Pills, I might be able to successfully open the Baihui and Tangzhong acupoints and then enter the Meridian Opening Realm!
Reaching the Meridian Opening Realm means becoming a Human Immortal!
Zhang Yuan was really looking forward to it!
In the mountain forest, a cold wind howled. Zhang Yuan stood alone under a tree, wearing only thin clothes, continuing to practice his martial arts.

Ding-dong!
WeChat message on mobile phone.
I'll come to your school tomorrow afternoon!
"Okay, let me know when you arrive, and I'll pick you up at the school gate!"
Zhang Yuan replied with a message.
The message was sent by Tangtang, a member of the Golden Classics Reading Club group. Her real name is Su Yafang.
A week ago, Su Yafang was chatting in a group chat when she unexpectedly learned that Zhang Yuan was also in Tongcheng City. Since she was going to Tongcheng City next week to take care of some business, she added Zhang Yuan on WeChat and asked if he was free so she could meet him and ask him for advice on refining Foundation Establishment Pills.
Zhang Yuan readily agreed.
The next day, the weather warmed up a bit, with the temperature rising to 12 degrees Celsius. Although the sun was shining brightly, most people still felt a bit cold.
Zhang Yuan, wearing a thin long-sleeved shirt, stood out conspicuously in the bleak, cold wind at the school's imposing gate.
Many students couldn't help but take another look as they passed by the school gate.
"Isn't he cold wearing so little?"
"Is this young man taking his bragging a bit too far?"
...
Around 4 PM, Su Yafang took a Didi (ride-hailing service) to Tongcheng University.
Su Yafang is from Jiangnan and has the gentleness unique to women from Jiangnan. She is about the same age as Zhang Yuan, petite in stature, but has great strength in her arms.
The Didi car stopped at the school gate, and she took a black suitcase out of the trunk.
The suitcase was half her height and looked quite bulky, but this seemingly delicate woman from Jiangnan easily lifted it off the car with just one hand.
As expected of a cultivator like Zhang Yuan, she is stronger than an ordinary girl.
Therefore, Zhang Yuan recognized Su Yafang as soon as she got out of the car.
Of course, besides being strong, this woman also had a faint spiritual energy fluctuation, which was not found in ordinary girls at the school.
Su Yafang carried her black suitcase, looked up at the tall plaque of Tongcheng University's gate, and then her beautiful eyes searched around in the flow of people.
Zhang Yuan walked over. "Are you Tangtang?"
"Hmm, you mean the sea of knowledge is boundless??"
Su Yafang asked, a faint smile on her face.
I must say, she is a very beautiful girl.
"Yes, it's me!"
"Welcome to Tongcheng University!"
Zhang Yuan said.
While Zhang Yuan was sizing up Su Yafang, Su Yafang was also sizing up Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan's thin shirt left a deep impression on Su Yafang!
It is said that when cultivators reach a high level of cultivation, their bodies become impervious to cold, and they only need to wear one piece of clothing in summer temperatures of over 30 degrees Celsius or in temperatures of minus three or five degrees Celsius!
It seems the rumors are true.
This Zhang Yuan looks to be about the same age as me, yet his cultivation level is already so high?
Su Yafang held Zhang Yuan in even higher esteem.
After picking up Su Yafang, Zhang Yuan took her into the school for a tour. Out of politeness, Zhang Yuan offered to help Su Yafang carry her suitcase, but Su Yafang declined.
She has already opened one acupoint, and due to her cultivation, her body is stronger than that of an average girl.
This suitcase probably weighs around 70 or 80 pounds. It would be a bit heavy for an average girl to carry, but she carried it quite easily.
There is an unwritten rule in the cultivation world: those with higher cultivation levels are respected. Even if the other party is just a child, you still have to be polite. Otherwise, if you accidentally anger a master one day, the other party might use a small spell to make you suffer!
Therefore, Su Yafang didn't dare to let Zhang Yuan carry her suitcase, even though their public identities were just simple, harmless college students.
Since Su Yafang insisted on carrying it herself, Zhang Yuan, a chauvinist, didn't force her. He even thought that Su Yafang might have something valuable in her suitcase, so she didn't trust anyone else to carry it.
