She walked in a hurry, and did not pay attention to where she was going. Just as she was about to leave the great hall, she coincidentally bumped into a few little turnips. They should be the new disciples recruited this time, and they were about ten years old. Walking in front were three children. Most probably, it was their first time entering such a mystical place, as the three of them had different expressions. The first child had an excited expression, the second child had an excited expression, and the third child had an … BUG!
Zhu Yao's feet paused, and she had almost fallen out of the hall.
"Sister-in-law!" Qu Qu grabbed onto her hand, and only then did he prevent her face from hitting the ground.
Who's your sister-in-law!?
Wait. Zhu Yao turned to look at the group of children who had already walked to the center of the hall, and her heart was in turmoil. A bug had appeared without warning once again, and there was no warning at all.
"Cricket, who's that child over there?" She pointed to the little boy on the right.
"Isn't he a new disciple?" Qu Qu gave her a 'how would I know' look. "However, to be able to stand in the front row, he must be someone who broke through the illusion in front of Righteous Heart Gate. It's a pity that they have never cultivated before. Although they have gained enlightenment, they are unable to raise their cultivation, and can only strengthen their hearts. "
"The people standing in the front row have all gained enlightenment?"
"Mn."
Gaining enlightenment upon entering the sect, this was clearly the standard of a cheat! She suddenly thought of Xiao Yi. As expected, all bugs would walk on the path of a fortuitous encounter. This child couldn't be the same as Xiao Yi, right?
She could not help but turn her head, and look into the hall. The Spirit Veins test had already begun. The first row of children who had gained enlightenment, one had Tri Spirit Veins, and the other had Duo Spirit Veins. They were all considered to have good aptitudes, and even Qu Jiang's expression had softened quite a bit.
When it was that bugged child's turn, he placed his hand on the crystal ball. In an instant, one type … two types … three types … five types of colors appeared in the ball.
Qu Jiang's soaring mood, in an instant, once again fell to the bottom of the valley!
Penta Spirit Veins!
Zhu Yao was dumbfounded. This setting wasn't right. What happened to the promised bugged male protagonist exploding the heavens? Why did he have Penta Spirit Veins? Could it be that he had changed to the bitter path this time!?
— — — —
Filled with doubts, she was pulled back to Skybond Peak by Qu Qu. Before she could even think clearly about the difference in this bug, she had already sunk into her busy studies.
The nation's good principal, Comrade Qu Jiang. Personally supervise the teaching. Every day, he would come to watch over her and cultivate, determined to raise her into a virtuous, intelligent, and physically beautiful … Ah pui. He was an expert in all five elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. The way he looked at her every day was as passionate as fire.
She would occasionally yawn, and Qu Jiang would grieve for half a day. Every time, he would have to guide her patiently. He said earnestly, "Martial Uncle … there isn't much time left!"
She thought she had lost half of her body. It was as if he had already been buried.
Could the elderly have a normal life in their later years?
Whenever they encountered the slightest problem in their cultivation, Qu Jiang would, as a matter of utmost importance to the sect, gather all the high-level leaders of the Nascent Soul stage and above. They would hold a special meeting to discuss and research in depth. In the end, they would come up with the perfect solution. They were just afraid that she would take the wrong path. This was the degree of importance they attached. It even alarmed the central government … the Soul Formation Supremacies.
The two honorary professors of Ness Cesary Sect were Demigod Sovereigns, who were said to be elusive. They even took turns to talk to her. Uh … That's not right. They imparted her with various cultivation experiences. They even specially bound the various difficult questions she might encounter into books. No, they were made into jade tablets, so that she could check on them at any time.
This sort of atmosphere where the entire nation wished for you to live long, it really scared this grandma to death.
"Grandma, Sect Master is doing this for your own good." Little tyrant said with a stern look.
Zhu Yao stroked his little head that was pretending to be mature. "What do you know? Science education is about being relaxed, it's not right to blindly spoil things through excessive enthusiasm." She strongly protested, requesting for a vacation.
"Grandma …" Little tyrant glanced at her face. "You're already very old, there's no need for you to grow any longer."
"…" She got stabbed.
Spoiling things through excessive enthusiasm doesn't mean that, hey!
She pulled his chubby little cheeks and pulled them to the sides. "What did you say!?" He actually dared to look down on her for being old.
"Grandma … It hurts, it hurts!" He rubbed his reddened little cheeks, and said with a wronged look. "Little Bai is speaking the truth. Little Bai can't even get master to teach me!"
Zhu Yao was startled. She carried him up and placed him on her lap. "What do you mean you can't? Isn't Qu Jiang your master as well? "
"No, he's the Sect Master's master. He's different from my master." He shook his head.
What did he mean? Zhu Yao only found out after asking. Apparently, Little Bai was a second-generation practitioner. His parents could be considered to be in the upper echelons of the sect, with Azoth-stage cultivation. However, both of them died when he was still young. He possessed the metal and fire duo Spirit Veins, so he was taken in as the personal succeeding disciple of another Nascent Soul executive in the sect. However, not long after he entered the sect, his master went into a life and death isolation, and he had yet to come out. In order to not waste a genius with dual Spirit Veins, Principal Qu Jiang brought him along to teach him, which was why Little Bai addressed him as Sect Master. However, he was after all, a disciple under someone else's supervision. Hence, in terms of cultivation, he was naturally not as strict as his own master.
Compared to her strict teaching, Little Bai could be considered as an existence that was left to fend for himself.
"It's fine, you can learn together with grandma in the future." Zhu Yao made a prompt decision, and copied all of the contents that Qu Jiang had taught her, for Little Bai to read. She couldn't possibly be the only one learning.
Little Bai was still very happy in the beginning, but as she gave him more and more things, his little face instantly became conflicted. There were too many things, and as a child who was not even ten years old, it was really a little hard for him to digest. She could only add in some of her own cultivation experiences, especially the details like Foundation and Azoth-stage, which he had to pay attention to.
"Grandma, can I really become very strong after learning all of these?"
"Of course, I'll be as strong as grandma." You have to believe me, young man.
His eyes shone. Suddenly, he thought of something, and said with a conflicted expression. "But doesn't Foundation only require eating a Foundation Pellet?"
Zhu Yao frowned. As a good successor of Jade Forest Mountain, she instinctively hated pellets. "Little tyrant, it's best not to eat things like pellets!"
"Why?"
"Because …" Zhu Yao began to scare little kids. "Think about it, what are pellets refined using?"
He lowered his little head and pondered, before replying. "Spiritual herbs."
"That's right, spiritual herbs. Then think about it again. What's grandma's original form? "
"Dandelions!"
"Look, dandelions are grass as well. If pellets are refined using spiritual herbs, then wouldn't it require a lot of grass corpses, just like grandma …"
Before she could even finish, little tyrant's expression had already turned deathly pale. He looked at her fearfully, and as though he had recalled something, he covered his mouth, looking as though he was about to puke. Then, he ran far away.
She heard from Qu Jiang that little tyrant puked for two whole hours after he returned, and he was still having nightmares even now.
Zhu Yao felt a sense of guilt, as though she had harmed the flowers of her motherland! From then on, Little Bai distanced himself from all pellets.
Mn, the effects were still very obvious.
— — — —
After Principal Qu Jiang gave her three months of theoretical foundation lessons, he forced her into closed-door training to digest it. He forbade everyone from disturbing her at Skybond Peak, including little tyrant and cricket. Zhu Yao basically did not have the chance to inquire about that bug, and adding that she had yet to receive the scenario, she did not dare to act on her own.
She heard that he was sent to the Outer Sect.
After estimating for a moment, that child was at most ten years old. Even if he wanted to do evil things like destroying the world, he had to wait until he grew up.
She instructed Qu Qu, to pay attention to that unknown bug child, and help him out when he was in trouble. She did her best to prevent him from becoming like Xiao Yi, with his worldview skewed.
After doing all these, she officially began to cultivate diligently. Although she did not really approve of Qu Jiang's impatient behavior of wanting her to raise her cultivation level, with her current body, she indeed needed to raise it. Although it was much better than a regular elderly, at least she did not have to rest after every five steps. However, compared to other practitioners, she was much weaker, and her bones were brittle.
This palace in Skybond Peak was a good place for closed-door training. Probably because the previous owner had scattered spirit stones all over the ground, the spiritual energy inside was more than ten times denser than other places. She even skipped the step of setting up a spiritual energy gathering formation, and immediately found a place with the most balanced spiritual energy of the five elements, and began to meditate.
She did not form her Azoth Core, but instead, she had a dream, and it was none other than that nonsensical plot foretelling dream.
Compared to the plot in the past, what she saw this time was an inspirational drama.
The protagonist's name was Ye Qingcang. His circumstances were similar to the bug Xiao Yi from the first time, however, he was not an orphan. Since young, he came from a poor family, and was a regular cowherd in the countryside. Due to his small and skinny figure, he was often bullied by others. Hence, he was one of the male protagonists of the "My Childhood Is Tragic" series.
Coincidentally, he picked up a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was about to die and learned about immortal cultivation. Hence, the brave youth took a few large flatbreads, and went on his way. After a few tests, he finally joined a first-rate deity sect – Ness Cesary Sect. However, due to his extremely poor aptitude for the penta-spirit veins, he was arranged to be in the Outer Sect.
The Outer Sect basically belonged to the category of people who had no hope of reaching the Great Dao. Especially in a first-rate deity sect like Ness Cesary Sect, the Outer Sect disciples were collectively left to fend for themselves, and some of them were even worse than laborers. The cultivation resources they obtained were even fewer. No matter how hard they worked, they could only stop at Foundation. In fact, most of the disciples could not even reach Foundation in their entire lives.
In the beginning, Ye Qingcang thought that he was lucky to have stepped onto the path of longevity. However, slowly, he realized that this path was even crueler than before. There were many Outer Sect disciples, however, due to their poor aptitudes, the higher-ups of the sect had never placed their eyes on these disciples, which caused some chaos in the management. Various dark oppressions would occasionally occur, however, no one came to manage them.
Hence, Ye Qingcang once again began to grind the "My Childhood Can Be Even More Tragic" dungeon. Forget about the resources distributed by the sect, even the monthly Grain Abstention Pellets would be privately withheld by the disciples of the sect in various ways.
