Alchemist Guild.
In the shade at the foot of the wall.
Lu Piao, Nie Li, Du Ze, Wei Nan, Zhang Ming, and Zhu Jun Xiang sat cross-legged in a row, eyes closed and brows furrowed as they quietly cultivated.
Faint wisps of blue soul light flickered on and off around the six of them.
The light around Du Ze was the strongest. With the Soul Gathering Pill's help, by the time they returned to Sacred Orchid Academy in two days, he would be close to advancing to Bronze Rank.
"Yaaawn..." Lu Piao let out a long yawn and stretched, pulling himself out of the tedious cultivation.
Every day was nothing but eating, drinking, sleeping, and cultivating. He was about to die of boredom.
Lu Piao propped his chin on his hand and pouted, his eyes following the swaying foxtail grass from side to side.
"Well, well~ Brother Piao, taking it easy, are you? How's your cultivation going?" A familiar voice came from nearby.
Lu Piao looked away from the grass and raised his head. Xian Wu was walking toward him, grinning from ear to ear and waving.
Xian Wu was dressed all in white, from his white hair to his white robe, while the black face covering on his face stood out sharply.
The sun was blazing. Why was he wearing a black face covering that absorbed heat? Lu Piao found it strange.
When Xian Wu came closer, Lu Piao scooted farther into the shade and pretended to cultivate.
"Hey, I'm talking to you. Don't ignore me." Xian Wu gave Lu Piao's shoe a light kick. Why was he pretending to be a wooden doll? He wasn't going to drain Lu Piao's Soul Force.
His Soul Force was now as high as 9,999, while Lu Piao had at most 100.
