Strange Person

From the moment the girl decided to tell the truth, both the man and woman knew what the outcome would be.

Expulsion from the sect would be the lightest punishment.

It's clear that if the old lady hadn't been holding onto the sect leader's sleeve the whole time, things would have been much more complicated.

The old woman sighed sadly and helplessly, "You two are so foolish!"

The boy said bitterly, "I was out of my mind and admit my mistake and accept the punishment. I only regret that I provoked the wrong person and caused my sect to suffer an undeserved disaster. Before the incident, we secretly observed him for a long time and found no sect insignia or tokens on him. We were certain that he was just a rogue cultivator without a sect, so we attacked him. We never expected his strength to be so terrifying."

The girl, tears streaming down her face, continued, "He seems to have a strange ability to suppress spiritual energy to a very low level!"

"Suppressing spiritual power?" The old woman and the middle-aged man locked eyes.

The girl nodded in confirmation, "Yes, that's why we misjudged the situation. Using spiritual energy to mimic and delay him, even when we activated the Heavenly Gang Sword Formation to its peak, it had absolutely no effect on him!"

The middle-aged man and the elderly woman fell silent, seemingly lost in thought.

But it's too late to say anything more now.

Since the sect leader had already announced the punishment, the two could only resign themselves to their fate and kowtow to their respective masters to say goodbye.

Isn't that a coincidence?

The boy's master is the sect leader.

The girl's teacher was an old lady.

I happened to be standing right at the very front of the crowd.

You don't even need to look for anyone, just kneel down and kowtow.

Just as the two were kowtowing...

A skinny monkey suddenly appeared beside them.

He immediately blurted out, "Why did you have to kick them out?"

The middle-aged man squinted at the person who had spoken up to stop him from dealing with the traitor.

It felt both familiar and strange.

I feel like I've seen him somewhere before, but he doesn't seem to be from our sect.

His brain raced, searching for familiar faces he could recall.

Compare them one by one.

The results are still pending.

The old lady next to him tugged at his sleeve, gesturing towards the foot of the mountain in the distance.

The middle-aged man tilted his head slightly to take a look.

That terrifying tornado had vanished without a trace.

The face of the person before him slowly overlapped with the face he had seen inside the tornado.

The middle-aged man immediately bowed and apologized to Wang Wen, saying, "Senior, this unruly disciple has disregarded the sect rules and attacked a fellow practitioner. He has been severely punished by our sect. We hope that you will calm down and sit down for a talk."

Wang Wen smiled and shook her head, saying in an approachable manner, "I'm not angry. On the contrary, I'd like to ask these two friends how to quickly replenish their energy. Just now, during my energy extraction, their energy repeatedly ran out but quickly recovered each time. I'm very interested in that."

"..."

Everyone, including the middle-aged man, wore expressions as if they were constipated.

The old woman tremblingly cupped her hands in greeting. "Senior, are you joking with us? With such earth-shattering abilities, how could you not know this common spirit-restoring technique that everyone knows?"

"Is it a cultivation technique?" Wang Wen's face lit up with delight. "Great! Find a quiet place for you to teach me. If I can learn it, I guarantee you'll all benefit greatly, heh!"

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

Wang Wen's approachable attitude seemed to have surprised them.

This is completely unlike the ruthless person he was before.

Even a middle-aged man who had seen many ups and downs seemed somewhat slow to react.

He swallowed hard and asked cautiously, "This... Senior, do you only want to learn our sect's techniques? Are there no other conditions?"

Wang Wen was touched by his proactive approach.

I thought about it carefully.

He said, "Since you brought it up, I won't stand on ceremony. Do you still have that mountain-protecting formation that those two kids set up? That thing is great, it doesn't damage the ground, I really like it. If you can, give me a good beating a few more times."

The middle-aged man's face twitched first.

He opened his mouth for a long time, but couldn't find a way to describe his feelings.

Wang Wen noticed his predicament.

He comforted her understandingly, "It's alright, it's alright. It doesn't matter if there's no protective mountain formation. What was that round disc about the size of a rooftop along the way? That thing has a lot of energy, and I like it too. I'd like a few more of those."

The middle-aged man felt as if a knife had been plunged into his heart.

The pain was so intense I could hardly breathe.

He swayed slightly, but managed to stand with the old lady's help.

This time, Wang Wen also felt somewhat troubled.

He muttered, "You're out of fish balls and noodles? How can such a big sect be so poor..."

"Never mind, never mind," he comforted her understandingly. "It's alright if we don't have the mountain-protecting array or the disc. I found a place that looks like a mine, and it has a lot of energy reserves, but it seems to be unrefined and quite crude. Fortunately, there's plenty to go around. Do you know where else you can find a place like that? One is never too little, two is never too many, the more the merrier!"

The middle-aged man covered his mouth, almost bursting into tears.

To avoid dying on the spot.

He solemnly gestured towards the interior of the mountain peak and said to Wang Wen, "Senior, please follow me. Our sect has many martial arts techniques; let me introduce them to you one by one for you to choose from."

Wang Wen has never liked to make things difficult for people.

Since that's what they said...

He happily followed along.

I eat whatever is available and I'm not picky about food.

Stay in this sect, which is called the Heavenly Dipper Sect, until the reset point is close to Sunday night.

Wang Wen mastered the sect's most advanced spirit-restoring technique.

Actually, there's not much to choose from, just one type.

This technique is quite peculiar, unlike the meditation found in the Magic Continent.

Rather, it is a technique for circulating energy and absorbing the power of the external world.

Although not as volatile and direct as [Unity with Heaven and Man].

Its strength lies in its continuous and uninterrupted flow.

Most importantly.

After the middle-aged man's patient examination, it was discovered that Wang Wen was a prodigy.

According to the Heavenly Dipper Sect's algorithm.

Every cultivator goes through several different stages.

It begins with refining essence into qi, progresses through foundation building to minor completion of the Golden Elixir, then condenses the Golden Elixir to become the Nascent Soul, harnessing the power of heaven and earth for one's own use, and finally transforms into spirit and merges with the Dao to reach the Mahayana stage. If one survives the heavenly tribulation, one can ascend to become an immortal.

The spiritual power levels of both boys and girls are basically around the Golden Core stage.

People like the middle-aged man and the old woman have already reached the Nascent Soul stage or even the Mahayana stage; any further progress would lead to a heavenly tribulation.

When it came to Wang Wen...

Things started to get strange.

The middle-aged man could barely see Wang Wen's level of spiritual power.

The total amount is extremely high.

It's almost ten times his size.

But their level of understanding is extremely low.

They are basically only at the very beginning stage of refining essence into qi.

The room was filled with elderly men and women who marveled at Wang Wen.

He shook his head for a moment, then nodded.

I was deeply moved.

When a normal person cultivates to a certain level, their spiritual energy will contract and condense, and a large area of misty energy will shrink into a pool of liquid.

Then the liquid solidifies into an even more solid golden elixir.

Then, a human form is born from the solid golden elixir, transforming into a nascent soul within the body.

Finally, the nascent soul separated from the body, and the spirit cultivated unparalleled human achievements.

But this person in front of me is abnormal.

A large mass of misty gas, ten times the amount of the sect leader's spiritual power, filled his body.

It's not solidifying at all, and it hasn't burst yet?

What an extraordinary person!
