Although Bai Xiaowen felt a little proud, he still had some self-awareness.
He was a king-level expert, but he was just an empty shell. He didn't have the skills of a real king-level expert. Moreover, he was only level 11. Just his level alone was three levels lower than the Shangqing school's elder.
If he made a move, he would most likely be beaten up.
Bai Xiaowen obediently followed the guidance of the Shangqing school's inner disciple. They walked forward along the mountain road and arrived at a group of buildings.
As a prestigious and upright school, the Shangqing school was very hospitable.
Every guest who came to watch the ceremony with a jade token was led by an inner disciple and assigned to a quiet room to rest.
Later, servants brought in all kinds of melons and fruits for the guests to taste. The reason why they didn't provide daily meals was because the guests were basically all cultivators. Compared to meat, most cultivators preferred melons and fruits.
"Do you feel that the concentration of spiritual energy in the Shangqing school is much higher than in other areas?"
Bai Xiaowen asked in the quiet room.
Cecilia nodded and said, "Yes, this feeling is even more obvious after entering the inner sect. Why? "
Bai Xiaowen said, "Maybe the Shangqing school set up some kind of formation, or maybe the location of the school is special and rich in spiritual energy. But let's not worry about that. Before we watch the ceremony, let's cultivate in peace. "
Cecilia asked curiously, "Just cultivate? Don't you want to do something? "
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said with a smile, "The Shangqing school is loose on the outside but tight on the inside. Moreover, they are very powerful. We are new to the world of evolvers, so there are too many methods that we don't understand. The possibility of us being discovered if we go out and cause trouble is too high. It would be terrible if we were seen as evil spies. "
Bai Xiaowen thought when he saw the level 14 overlord — the Shangqing school's elder.
As for whether he wanted to cause trouble in the future, he had to understand the Shangqing school better. Bai Xiaowen wouldn't do something he wasn't sure of.
The Shangqing Ceremony would be held the day after tomorrow. That night, Bai Xiaowen and Cecilia cultivated in the inner sect's quiet room.
As an evolver, cultivation was actually a process of studying the books of the profession over and over again.
In the process of studying, the subconscious mind would follow the enlightenment and slowly circulate the spiritual energy in the meridians. Every time he moved something, his Spiritual Energy would increase by a tiny amount. Over time, his Spiritual Energy Value would increase. Once it reached a certain limit, he could break through to the next level and unlock the next chapter of the Profession Book.
Once he was familiar with the initial chapter, he would no longer need to study the ancient book. He could consciously follow the ancient book's instructions and carry out the Circulatory Cycle Transportation.
Naturally, the efficiency of actively carrying out the Qi circulation was much higher than subconsciously carrying out the Qi circulation. It was equivalent to increasing one's cultivation speed by a level. Of course, it was only limited to evolvers with strong aptitude and comprehension that could quickly get rid of their dependence on the chapters of their profession manuals and achieve the ability to carry them on their own, such as Bai Xiaowen.
Late at night.
Bai Xiaowen, who was in the midst of cultivation, had just completed a Circulatory Circulation. His spiritual senses were sharp and he suddenly heard a faint cry of surprise. It sounded like a person had suddenly cried out, but his mouth was covered.
"What's the situation?"
Without hesitation, Bai Xiaowen pushed open the door and walked out.
Cecilia, who was behind him, heard Bai Xiaowen's movements. She also ended her cultivation and followed him.
"What's wrong? Aren't you going to hide in the quiet room and cultivate and not go out to cause trouble?" Cecilia asked in a low voice.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "I'm not the one causing trouble. It's the other way around. The sound just now was obviously that someone was ambushed. I guess I'm not the only one who heard it. Let's go take a look and see if we can trigger a side mission. Even if we encounter the patrolling members of Shangqing school, they won't accuse us unjustly. "
Shangqing school was a prestigious and powerful sect. They definitely wouldn't blame the ambush on Bai Xiaowen.
If they blamed Bai Xiaowen, it meant that this sect didn't have much control over the inner sanctum. Bai Xiaowen didn't have to be too afraid.
The two of them followed the sound and quickly arrived at the scene of the incident.
Just as Bai Xiaowen expected, someone had arrived at the scene first. There were two of them. There was a corpse lying on the ground. Based on the corpse's attire, it should be an inner sanctum disciple.
The two of them were wearing Shangqing school attire. One of them, who was petite, squatted down and seemed to be examining the corpse.
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and stared fixedly at the corpse. Suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly and then immediately relaxed.
The two people from Shangqing school noticed Bai Xiaowen and Cecilia's arrival at the same time.
"Eh, it's you?" The petite figure who was squatting turned around and was surprised.
Bai Xiaowen glanced at the two people from Shangqing school and realized that they knew each other.
The one who was squatting was Chen Rong, an elite disciple of Shangqing school and a level 13 leader.
The one who was standing was the elder from Shangqing school that they met during the day, a level 14 leader!
Bai Xiaowen cupped his hands and bowed. "Greetings to the seniors from Shangqing school, greetings to Miss Chen. It's Lu Wang's honor to be invited to the Shangqing Ceremony by Miss Chen. Originally, my companion and I were sitting in the quiet room, waiting for the Shangqing Ceremony to begin. We didn't expect to hear something, so we came to take a look. "
The elder from Shangqing school frowned slightly and looked at Bai Xiaowen. "Chen Rong, who is this person?"
Chen Rong hurriedly replied, "Reporting to Elder Tang, this is Fellow Daoist Lu Wang, a rogue cultivator that I mentioned in my training report. He relied on his own groping to cultivate a decent amount of elemental energy and even has a Dao technique that can exorcise ghosts and control corpses. When we killed the Ancient Buddha Temple's Tree Demon, Lu Wang contributed greatly. Therefore, I invited him to participate in the Shangqing Ceremony. "
Elder Tang nodded slightly and then gave the order to leave. "Since you're a guest, please stay in the quiet room and don't walk around. The area within a hundred miles of the Shangqing school's inner sect is within the range of the Mountain Protecting Formation. If you walk around, you'll trigger the formation's restrictions, which would be very bad. "
Bai Xiaowen looked at the corpse on the ground again and then looked at Chen Rong.
If it wasn't for this Elder Tang, Chen Rong would've told him the truth. However, this Elder Tang seemed rather stubborn and valued the school's reputation. It seemed that she didn't want an outsider like Bai Xiaowen to interfere with the school's internal affairs.
Chen Rong stood up and said, "Lu Wang, please go back and rest. When I have time, I'll definitely pay you a visit. "After saying this, she blinked her eyes lightly.
Bai Xiaowen understood and cupped his hands. "I've been presumptuous. Elder Tang, Miss Chen, I'll take my leave."
Not long after Bai Xiaowen returned to the quiet room, there was a light knock on the door.
Cecilia opened the door and Chen Rong came in.
"Brother Lu, long time no see." Chen Rong originally had a trace of worry on his face. However, after seeing Bai Xiaowen, his brows relaxed.
"Haha, Miss Chen's complexion looks much better than when you were in Ancient Scholar Town. Your aura has become stronger." Bai Xiaowen praised.
This wasn't flattery. Bai Xiaowen truly felt Chen Rong's improvement. If he was originally a leader, he should've been a rare leader now. Even his spiritual energy had increased by more than 100 points.
