Chapter 22

, First Medium-Grade Spiritual Material! An Invitation from the Outer Court!

"I...I've mastered it too?"

Hong Bao looked down at the foul air emanating from his body and remained stunned for a long while.

Then he suddenly looked up at Lu Yun's back, and then at Feng Jian.

Perhaps his own talent is no less than Feng Jian's.

But he's only just begun, while Feng Jian has already started refining spiritual materials.

The gap lies not in ourselves, but in our resources.

If Hong Bao could sit in the front row, he might understand even faster than Feng Jian.

"Cultivation isn't just about hard work, it's also about competition. Next time, I'll compete with these scions of noble families!"

Hong Bao secretly made up his mind, but he probably couldn't catch up with Lu Yun's talent.

At this moment, Lu Yun was swallowing spirit rice whole. If he knew what Hong Bao was thinking, he would definitely laugh.

Only family members know their own affairs.

In the Purple Heart City Cultivation Hall, he was only among the top, not the most outstanding.

Look at those people from Purple Heart City, not a single one of them has even entered the ranks yet.

He then understood his true skill level.

He swallowed a mouthful of spirit rice: "Even someone with cheat codes still has to be greedy!"

It's not that he can't afford other things, but rather that he wants to make his public image more relatable.

When he is alone, he rarely eats raw spirit rice.

Lu Yun seemed to be thinking, "It seems like I've been eating spirit rice more frequently these past two days."

He had previously bought 300 jin of spirit rice and put it in a storage bag. In just a few days, he had already eaten more than 10 jin of it.

Comprehending the true Dharma consumes one's mental energy, while refining minerals depletes one's true energy.

When both come together, it's like a bottomless pit.

He sat in the front row, chewing on the spirit rice bite by bite.

It creaked.

At the same time, he was using the Pure and Turbid True Method to remove the turbidity from the spiritual rice, which he had just discovered.

This makes digestion faster.

The young men from noble families beside them carried out a feast, which included meat and vegetables and smelled delicious.

Someone glanced at him, a slight smirk playing on their lips.

"A rogue cultivator is a rogue cultivator; even spirit rice must be chewed raw."

The sound wasn't loud, but everyone in the front row could hear it.

Lu Yun didn't even look up; he even wanted to laugh, wishing there were more idiots like this.

Some people in the back row have already started eating spirit rice, just like Lu Yunsheng.

However, the effect was not satisfactory; my eating speed slowed down, and I was prone to diarrhea.

in the afternoon.

The spirit of the Chengfa Stele is rekindled.

Five more people comprehended the "True Method of Purification and Turbidity".

Lu Yun looked down at the refined gold ore in his hand.

True energy washes away impurities, while turbid energy evaporates.

The grayish-white mist on the surface of the mineral material gradually faded.

suddenly--

The ore ingot trembled slightly.

Compared to inferior spiritual materials, the ore ingots refined this time exuded a warm and lustrous sheen from the inside out.

It has become... a mid-level spiritual material.

【The True Method of Purifying and Purifying (Introduction 78/100)】

He put the ore into his storage bag without any expression.

They kept quiet.

I asked Senior Brother Liu before, and those who produce intermediate-grade spiritual materials within seven days are all considered top-grade.

Unless the Dharma seed can be activated from the Dharma transmission stele.

The Chengfa Stele will only be open for seven days, so Lu Yun won't mind spending a day or two.

Let's get our hands on the Daoist essence for free first.

at night.

Grayish-white mist finally emerged from Qin Yue's body.

"Brother Lu, I did it!" He was so excited that his voice changed.

Lu Yun turned around and was happy for him.

"good."

Shen He was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet.

"I haven't even gotten started yet..."

On the morning of the fourth day, she finally succeeded.

The little girl's eyes were red, and Lu Yun patted her head.

"Alright, it's not shameful."

After noon.

【The True Method of Purifying the Impure and the Pure (First Class 1/1000)】

Lu Yun looked at the progress in his mind and breathed a sigh of relief.

I've finally been promoted to Level 1, which is a level higher than the beginner level.

He did not circulate his first-class true magic in the hall because he sensed a lot of turbid energy in his body that could be dispelled.

Once it's running, others will notice.

He got up, returned to the stone chamber, closed the door, and sat cross-legged on the futon to practice his true magic.

Deeper levels of turbidity are drawn out from the body.

A grayish-white mist filled the stone chamber, gradually dissolving into the world as if it had never existed.

It's like tearing off an old wall from inside your body.

Transparent and light.

"It's always good to keep some of your cards hidden."

Lu Yun opened his eyes and watched as the foul air in the room slowly dissipated.

"Once is enough for showing off."

in the afternoon.

The ceremony on the Chengfa Stele has concluded.

Senior Brother Liu stood on the stage and scanned the room.

"There are already more than sixty disciples who entered the sect in four days."

He paused.

"Among the disciples who entered the sect today, those in the second rank have a chance to try their luck, and those in the third rank have no problem at all."

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Then someone breathed a sigh of relief.

Some people clenched their fists; it wasn't time to relax yet.

They've all gotten into a flurry of intense practice, with some aiming for the highest grade and others for the lowest.

......

After leaving, Senior Brother Liu ran into Junior Sister, and the two talked about the situation in their respective academies.

The female cultivator was wearing the same guiding robe; she had a beautiful face, but her brows were furrowed tightly.

"Senior Brother Liu, your Third Academy has over sixty beginners?"

Her tone was skeptical: "Our Fifth Academy only has thirty-eight."

"The other departments also only have thirty or forty students."

"Junior Sister Sun's first academy is just thirty."

Senior Brother Liu chuckled: "Because our department has produced a catfish."

"catfish?"

"A rogue cultivator named Lu Yun."

Senior Brother Liu recounted what had happened in the past two days.

"He proposed that diligence is rewarded by Heaven, and he took the lead in writing papers himself."

"Every day from dawn until the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), we ate raw spirit rice and worked late into the night."

"He was carrying spiritual materials for purification while walking down the street."

"Some people say he even sleeps with a magical object in his hand..."

These rumors left the junior sister speechless.

"What kind of ruthless person is that?"

She imagined the scene.

"If I had been in the same cohort as this kind of person back then..."

I shivered.

"It's terrifying to even think about."

"That's not all," Senior Brother Liu shook his head, "He sat in the first row, and none of those scions of powerful families dared to leave."

"The independent cultivators dared not leave."

"He has inspired the entire hospital."

The junior sister remained silent for a while.

"Such talent..."

She suddenly looked up.

"Lend me a day."

"what?"

"Take him to my yard and give those people a good beating."

The junior sister gritted her teeth, "At night, the Chengfa Hall in our Fifth Academy is practically deserted."

"Incredibly lazy."

Senior Brother Liu frowned: "Isn't this inappropriate?"

He pointed to Lu Yun's location inside the hall.

"He sits in the first row here."

"Go to your place, and you think you can sit in the front row?"

The first row is full of scions of prominent families, and even the junior sister can't chase them away.

"I gave him my seat."

The junior student waved her hand, "Just sit on the podium."

The position guiding the disciples exuded a stronger Taoist aura than the first row.

This is a benefit.

She gritted her teeth and held up five fingers: "Plus five spirit crystals a day."

Senior Brother Liu raised an eyebrow.

"Junior sister really went all out."

"certainly."

The junior sister looked at the brightly lit hall with resentment in her eyes.

"More than sixty students in your college are qualified to compete for Grade B."

"Each additional Grade B is worth one spirit stone."

"After the assessment, your reward will probably be double ours."

The more she thought about it, the more upset she became.

"Fortunately, it's not too late yet; there are still two weeks until the Grade B assessment."

"First, we need to establish a positive atmosphere."

Senior Brother Liu nodded.

"Okay, I'll go ask."

He paused.

"But junior sister, don't have too high expectations. I don't think he's the type to show off."

"and--"

He lowered his voice: "Lu Yun has also won the favor of Senior Sister Yingyue, so don't underestimate him."

The junior sister was stunned.

"Senior Sister Yingyue? That twenty-year-old Foundation Establishment senior sister, I heard she's going to be promoted to elder..."

Senior Brother Liu nodded: "So, you understand."

He turned and walked out of the hall.

Standing on the steps, he transmitted his voice secretly.

"Lu Yun, come out for a moment."

Inside the hall.

Lu Yun was refining the ore when he suddenly heard Senior Brother Liu's voice in his ear.

He looked up.

He glanced at the two figures on the high platform outside the hall.
