"Hello."
Lu Ping opened the door and saw Yan Ge standing outside the door, greeting him.
"Hello." Lu Ping nodded.
"I really can't feel the soul power anymore." Yan Ge had already completed the preliminary diagnosis of Lu Ping while greeting each other.
"That's right." Lu Ping nodded.
"You don't seem to mind?" Yan Ge was a little surprised by Lu Ping's attitude. Although Chen Chu had mentioned it to him, the calmness and composure shown by Lu Ping was still beyond his imagination.
"I'm alright." Lu Ping answered.
"Do you know what the problem is?" Yan Ge asked.
"Yes." Lu Ping nodded.
"Oh … Is there anything I can help with?" Yan Ge asked.
"No need, thank you." Lu Ping said.
"Alright." Yan Ge did not show any strange emotions towards Lu Ping's straightforward rejection of his kindness, nor did he insist. He kept a smile on his face and nodded.
"Then … Goodbye?" Lu Ping asked in a questioning tone. He was not sure if Yan Ge wanted to come in and sit for a while.
"Goodbye." Yan Ge smiled and did not say much. The door closed in front of him. His smile did not change. After he walked away, he saw Huo Ying lying on the bamboo chair and seemed to have fallen asleep. He did not disturb her again and left the five academies quietly.
Lu Ping did not disrupt his rhythm because of Yan Ge's sudden visit. After sending Yan Ge away, his thoughts immediately returned to his training. He returned to his bed and sat down again. He immediately started his previous attempt.
After understanding the reason why the Ecstasy Soul Locking was created, Lu Ping had a better idea of how to control the soul power. On the basis that he could get rid of the Ecstasy Soul Locking, Lu Ping began to try again and again. He increased his speed every time, trying to find a state that would not increase the intensity of the Ecstasy Soul Locking, but could also get rid of Guo Youdao's soul power.
Once, failure.
Once again, failure.
Once again, he failed again …
The speed at which Lu Ping controlled his soul power was fast, so his attempts were fast as well. Failure also came quickly.
However, none of this moved Lu Ping. He was already used to this kind of cultivation. His cultivation was so simple and straightforward. He would succeed once out of thousands or even more failures. Then, he would remember this success. Grasping success this time.
Everything he could do was realized in this way, and now he didn't want to be an exception.
Therefore, on such an ordinary afternoon, Lu Ping experienced frequent failures that ordinary people could not imagine. He never counted the number of times, because the number was usually very large. Counting would be a little distracting.
When he was tired, he would take a short break. When he was well rested, he would continue.
Dang dang dang.
Another knock on the door interrupted Lu Ping. However, Lu Ping had already stopped his special cultivation and was reflecting on the experiments he had done in the afternoon. On the whole, it didn't look good. After countless attempts, Lu Ping had found the critical point of speed that didn't increase the intensity of the Ecstasy Soul Locking. However, even at this speed, it was still not enough to break free from the interference of Guo Youdao's soul power. He had to find another way.
"Who is it?" Lu Ping thought. He jumped off the bed to open the door.
"It's me, Zi Mu." Hearing the reply from outside, Lu Ping had already arrived behind the door and opened it.
"Are you going to eat?" Zi Mu asked.
Lu Ping looked outside. Huo Ying was still sitting in the courtyard, but his shadow was stretched out. The sun was moving to the west, and it was already evening.
"It's already so late." Lu Ping said. He had completely forgotten about the time because he was completely focused on cultivation.
"What are you doing?" Zi Mu asked.
"Trying to find my soul power." Lu Ping said.
"How is it?" Zi Mu asked.
"I overturned a plan." Lu Ping said. Countless small failures converged into one big failure. In the end, it was confirmed that the plan was not feasible.
"Then what should we do?" Zi Mu asked.
"Try another method." Lu Ping said, although he hadn't thought of another method yet.
"Let's go eat first." Zi Mu said.
"Okay." Lu Ping nodded and walked out of the room. When he walked past Huo Ying, he realized that he wasn't resting with his eyes closed. Instead, he was staring at the ginkgo tree in the courtyard.
"Do you want to eat?" Lu Ping looked at him and asked.
"Yingsheng will bring it to me." Huo Ying said.
"Oh." Lu Ping nodded and was about to leave. Huo Ying looked at the back of him and Zi Mu leaving. The paper ball that he had been holding in his hand for the whole afternoon was slightly squeezed by him. Finally, he opened his mouth.
"Wait." Huo Ying said.
"Huh?" Lu Ping turned around.
"Do me a favor." Huo Ying said.
"What's the matter?" Lu Ping asked.
Huo Ying opened his palm. The prescription that Yan Ge gave him had already been rolled into a small paper ball.
"Help me get some medicine." Huo Ying said.
"Oh." Lu Ping walked forward. He took the paper ball and didn't ask how it was rolled into this. He just carefully opened it and looked at it. Then, he revealed a puzzled and confused expression.
"What's wrong?" Huo Ying looked at his expression.
"These words ….. are very difficult." Lu Ping said.
"You can't read?" Huo Ying asked.
"I don't know many," Lu Ping said. Before he was in Zhenfeng College, of course he didn't have the opportunity to learn how to read. After three years in Zhenfeng College, what he learned was also limited. Many of the words used in this prescription were very unfamiliar. For Lu Ping, it was naturally too difficult.
"Don't worry. Go to the Megrez Peak and show it to the people there. They will recognize it. "Huo Ying said.
"Okay." Lu Ping nodded and put the prescription away.
"Do you have any other instructions?" Lu Ping asked.
"Look after your rabbit." Huo Ying looked down and saw a rabbit chewing on his bamboo chair. The crackling sound made him feel a sense of danger.
"Oh!" Lu Ping just remembered his rabbit. He had been focused on practicing for the whole afternoon and forgot about it. He went forward and saw that it was indeed his rabbit. He hurriedly bent down and picked it up.
"Where's yours?" Lu Ping looked at the empty-handed Zi Mu.
"Locked in the room." Zi Mu said.
"That's a way." Lu Ping said and opened his door to put the rabbit in. Then he came out and said goodbye to Huo Ying. The two of them went to the Northern Mountain New Courtyard's dining hall. Just after the two of them left the five courtyards, a figure came out from the side of the courtyard wall outside the five courtyards. Looking at the two of them leaving, he seemed to be thinking about something. From this position, if a cultivator wanted to, it would not be difficult to hear everything that happened in the courtyard. The man stood there for only a moment before leaving. His silver hair shone in the afterglow of the setting sun. His silver hair was dyed gold.
Northern Mountain New Courtyard's dining hall.
What happened at noon in the five courtyards had already spread to the Northern Mountain New Courtyard.
The person living in the five courtyards was not the most useless person in the North Style Academy for four years as everyone thought. This point had already been recognized by everyone. They did not agree. After seeing the bloody hole in Yu Ran's head, they also immediately agreed.
Most cultivators could make a hole in a person's head. But to make a hole like Yu Ran's head, which bled profusely, but did not harm his life. This sense of propriety was a bit too much. A person who could control the power of courage to such a precise degree could not be a useless person.
For the whole afternoon, the people in the first courtyard were guessing who was in the five courtyards. But even Shen Wuyin of the fourth courtyard, who had stayed in the Northern Mountain New Courtyard for three years, had a good understanding of them. What could the newcomers guess?
Until now, when Lu Ping and Zi Mu appeared in the dining hall, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
It was obvious that the people who had conflicts with Lu Ping were only the people from the State Protector Academy. As for the other newcomers, even if they disapproved of the two of them, they could still talk to them. Just then, the two of them took their food. Immediately, they were invited by a large number of newcomers. Even the former students of the second, third, and fourth courtyards were looking forward to it. What everyone wanted to know was, of course, who were the residents of the five courtyards.
"Well …" Zi Mu, who was surrounded by people, dragged his words. Even though he was facing the great danger of being expelled, he still enjoyed being surrounded by these geniuses from various academies with longing faces.
"Can I say it?" Zi Mu asked Lu Ping for instructions.
"I don't think I can't say it?" Lu Ping said truthfully.
"Then I'll say it," Zi Mu said.
"Say it, say it!" The crowd was excited. At this moment, Zi Mu was especially cute in everyone's eyes. He was definitely not the most despised person who had not even reached the Piercing realm.
"Ahem." Zi Mu cleared his throat. "In this five courtyards, let me make it clear first. It's not what everyone thinks. The residents here are all experts, and their backgrounds are extraordinary. "
"How extraordinary?" someone asked.
"First, first." Zi Mu raised a finger and spoke in a cadence. He completely displayed the tone he had learned from the storyteller on the East Capital Bridge.
"Sun family. I think everyone knows about it, right? "he said, blinking his eyes.
"Sun family? Hanoi Sun family? "someone said. There were still a few famous families with the surname Sun. But it seemed that only the Hanoi Sun family, the richest family in the mainland, dared to introduce it in such a "well-known" tone.
"Yes, it's the Hanoi Sun family. One of the five courtyards is the eldest son of the current generation of the Sun family, Sun Yingsheng, "Zi Mu said.
"Ah!" Everyone was surprised. Sun Yingsheng's name was already famous enough. But who would have thought that the eldest son of the Sun family would actually live in the most despised North Style Academy's Northern Mountain New Courtyard? This rich person's strange taste really made everyone puzzled.
"This is related to Sun Yingsheng. Seems like I don't need to introduce him anymore, right?" Zi Mu said.
"Oh? What else do you know? "Someone was interested.
"I don't know much, but it's not a lot!" Zi Mu shook his head.
"Say it, say it." Many people shouted.
"Alright, then I will say it. This Sun Yingsheng … …" Zi Mu started talking. Actually, he had sat in Sun Yingsheng's room for a long time today, but he did not talk about this personal topic. He could talk about it because Sun Yingsheng was really a famous person. People born in this kind of family would be paid attention to since young. Regarding his deeds, no matter if they were true or false, there would always be a few that people would take delight in talking about. Zi Mu's spittle flew everywhere as he entered. Some of the students from the Eastern Capital felt that something was wrong. Why did these stories seem so familiar? Where did they hear them before?
While they were reminiscing, Lu Ping, who had been silent beside Zi Mu, suddenly stood up.
"I'm done eating." Lu Ping said.
"Eh? I haven't eaten yet! "Zi Mu spent all his time showing off. Now, looking at Lu Ping who was about to stand up and leave, he was a little flustered.
"You can eat slowly." Lu Ping said.
"No, I will still go with you." Zi Mu was determined. Although he enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by so many people, if not for Lu Ping, Zi Mu would feel a little like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
"I'm sorry, everyone. Tomorrow, we will continue tomorrow." Zi Mu grabbed a steamed bun and said to the surrounding crowd with a smile.
The students from the East Capital suddenly understood what was going on. This kid, wasn't this the same tone as the storyteller on the bridge? Wasn't the story about Sun Yingsheng that he had just told also spread in Dongdu?
