Preschool for Qi Refining in Dafeng City.
Looking at the sign on the teaching building, Ling Yi couldn't help but complain, "I don't know why, but every time I see this name, I feel like I'm still wearing something that's not wet!"
"Can't we just call it the Qi Refining Class?"
"The whole country is complaining about this name, it's not just you, but you just won't change it!" Wang Daquan laughed from the side.
"You seem so happy. It looks like you've made good progress these past few days. Have you reached the required level of Spiritual Power?" Ling Yi asked.
"Absolutely, 5 points, no more, no less, perfect," Wang Daquan said proudly.
Then he asked, "And you?"
"Sigh!" Ling Yi sighed.
"What's wrong? You haven't arrived yet?" Wang Daquan asked worriedly.
"No, it's not that. I had tofu pudding for breakfast, but they put too much salt in it, so it was a bit too salty."
"Salt in tofu pudding?" Wang Daquan exclaimed in horror, then took a few steps back, looking at Ling Yi with an expression as if he were looking at Alien.
"Huh? Do you put sugar in tofu pudding if not salt?"
"Wo Cao, listen to this! What kind of outrageous talk is this? Tofu pudding is sweet, only sweet; savory tofu pudding is heresy."
Ling Yi scratched his head. "No, salty is salty, sweet is sweet, why are you shouting like that?"
Just then, Zhao Wenwen walked over and asked, "What's sweet and salty?"
"Tofu pudding? I eat savory tofu pudding, and he calls me a heretic."
"I like both sweet and savory!" Zhao Wenwen said with a smile.
"Me too. I can eat salty food, and I don't mind sweet food either. This guy is just too picky."
"By the way, what are your plans for today?" Zhao Wenwen asked with some concern.
"Hmm, a little high-profile, but not too high-profile," Ling Yi said after thinking for a moment.
"How do you explain the matter of dual cultivation?"
Just as Ling Yi was about to say something, Wang Daquan pointed at the two of them and said, "You, are you openly discussing this now?"
Ling Yi slapped him on the forehead. "The dual cultivation I'm talking about isn't the dual cultivation you're thinking of."
Seeing Wang Daquan's lewd expression, Ling Yi knew that such an explanation would be useless.
He simply threatened, "From now on, you're not allowed to speak, or I'll release the photos, understand?"
"Damn it, all you do is threaten me with this? What, you think you can eat me alive with just one photo? No way!"
"I'm telling you, this photo is enough for me to eat you for the rest of my life."
" Ling Yi, let me tell you, I, Wang Daquan, also have a temper."
"Go buy me two bottles of cola, not iced," Ling Yi said, glancing at him sideways.
"Okay!"
Seeing Wang Daquan hurriedly leave, Zhao Wenwen asked curiously, "What photo? It looks really evil!"
Ling Yi chuckled, took out his phone, and found a photo in his album.
Upon seeing the photo, Zhao Wenwen burst out laughing, "Giggle, haha, oh my god, he actually got pecked on the beak by a goose! I was wondering why Wang Daquan was wearing a mask every day for a while!"
The photo was taken last year when the school held a rare spring outing, and there happened to be a Peasant School restaurant nearby.
Wang Daquan Wang Daquan a restless fellow. He went and provoked a goose, and the goose jumped up and pecked him, landing perfectly on his beak.
This scene was captured by Ling Yi, and that's how this photo came about.
Wang Daquan didn't want anyone to know about this embarrassing incident, so he really "went through a lot of trouble" to get Ling Yi to delete the photos!
Many classmates around them were watching Ling Yi and his group with curiosity.
When did Ling Yi and Zhao Wenwen become so close?
When will Zhao Wenwen smile? This ice block, we've been classmates for over two years, and let alone smile, I've never seen her speak a word at school.
Zhao Wenwen is not only the School Belle, but also a top student.
He's quite famous at school.
Unfortunately, it's too cold; so cold that it can only be used as a phone screen saver. Most people don't even dare to think about approaching and talking to it.
So what's the situation now?
What they found most incomprehensible was that the person chatting and laughing with Zhao Wenwen was actually Ling Yi, the school's worst student with only 2 points of Spiritual Power after two years.
Two questions popped Central City everyone's mind: Why? And on what basis?
Just then, the announcement came over the loudspeaker.
"Class 2-1, enter the testing room for the Spiritual Power test. Everyone, hurry up and don't dawdle and waste the other students' time!"
"If you waste a minute, and he wastes a minute, are we even going to test this Spiritual Power?"
" Liu Cheng goes first, Gao Yunhai prepares."
Class 2-1, which is Ling Yi's class, is a preschool class divided into three grade groups: first grade, second grade, and third grade.
However, only the second and third grade groups are required to undergo a Spiritual Power test once a month.
The average Spiritual Power of the second-year group is about 6 points, while the average Spiritual Power of the third-year group is above 7 points.
Five points of Spiritual Power is the minimum requirement.
If you can't even get 5 points of Spiritual Power, then you're basically done for.
The school no longer distributes Qi Gathering Pill for free. Without Qi Gathering Pill, it will be almost impossible to reach the Qi Refining Realm before the middle class exam next year.
If you don't reach the Qi Refining Realm, you're not qualified to enter the assessment secret realm. If you can't even enter the assessment secret realm, then there are only two paths you can take.
If you attend a middle-level class for a year and still cannot reach the Qi Refining Realm (10 points of Spiritual Power ) within that year, then you will be expelled from school.
But this year, the school will no longer provide Qi Gathering Pill.
Without Qi Gathering Pill, it's practically impossible to reach the Qi Refining through cultivation alone.
If this is achieved, the system will automatically move to the middle shift, and the Qi Gathering Pill will continue to be distributed.
Cultivating immortality is not child's play; it requires either talent or resources.
If you lack both talent and resources, it's better not to cultivate at all, since even if you continue cultivating immortality, you won't Great Accomplishment.
It's better to just be an ordinary person.
The Spiritual Power test was conducted very quickly.
One every twenty or thirty seconds.
The people in front of me all had Spiritual Power of 5 or higher, with a few reaching 7 or 8.
The results were average; no particularly outstanding students emerged.
"I feel like something's missing," Ling Yi said in a low voice.
"What's missing?" Zhao Wenwen asked curiously after hearing this.
At this moment, two or three figures walked towards Ling Yi and the others.
One of them was Wang Daquan, who had come back from buying drinks; the other two were a man with a buzz cut and a bald man.
He had a buzz cut and looked kind of handsome, dressed in a white tracksuit, with an arrogant expression.
The bald one was muscular and had a bunch of weird tattoos on his arms that looked like seaweed or ribbonfish.
"I knew something was missing, now it's not."
Zhao Wenwen's face was incredibly ugly; her smile had turned icy, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop considerably.
Clearly, Zhao Wenwen knew these two people.
He was one of the very few in the school who relentlessly pursued Zhao Wenwen, Big Smarty to die if he didn't win her over.
Just then, Zhao Wenwen's name was announced over the school's loudspeaker.
Zhao Wenwen leaned closer to Ling Yi and whispered, "If they don't know what's good for them, teach them a lesson they won't forget, just don't kill them."
"You're not going to hide your identity anymore?"
Only two people in the entire school knew that Zhao Wenwen was the mayor's daughter: Ling Yi and the principal.
Everyone else thought Zhao Wenwen was just an ordinary girl who was pretty and had a high Spiritual Root talent.
But there are always a few stubborn so-called second-generation immortals or rich kids who insist on trying to taste the flavor of Zhao Wenwen, this block of ice.
The vast majority of the reason they pursued Zhao Wenwen was not because they liked her, but simply to show their presence and demonstrate their individuality.
The gist of it is: Look, I dare to pursue the women that none of you dare to pursue, so I'm better than you.
So naive.
These two people in front of me are the most prominent among them.
The man with the buzz cut is named Yu Cenchen. His parents are both powerful cultivators at the Late Golden Core Realm. They run a secret realm exploration company called Wanfu, which has a considerable reputation in Dafeng City.
So, what exactly is the Secret Realm Exploration Company?
The scope of work is actually very broad and varied.
Their main business is exploring new hidden realms, collecting information about them, and then selling it.
In addition, they also undertake various businesses such as buying and selling materials from secret realms, providing security Hire, holding auctions, and operating trading companies.
Many people can sell the medicinal herbs and seemingly worthless scrolls they find in the secret realms to them.
However, in recent years, this company's reputation has not been very good.
There are frequent reports of their company's exploration teams robbing people.
Although there's practically no concrete evidence to support this claim, there's no smoke without fire!
As for that bald guy, his name is Hao Fu. Although he follows the path of cultivating immortality, his family runs a martial arts school.
The martial arts school's strength is second only to the now-defunct Fierce Tiger Martial Arts School.
He is indeed a well-known and respected Wu Er.
These two were the two who pursued Zhao Wenwen most intensely in school.
This annoyed Zhao Wenwen to no end.
I was publicly warned by the school a while ago, and that's when things calmed down for a bit.
Unexpectedly, it resurfaced today.
It's likely that someone told Zhao Wenwen and Ling Yi that they were getting too close.
Zhao Wenwen turned and walked towards the spirit testing room.
Just then, Wang Daquan, Yu Cenchen, and Hao Fu walked up to Ling Yi.
Wang Daquan had a handprint on his face, and half of his face was Old Gao.
Clearly, he had been beaten up earlier.
"They beat you up? Who did it?" Ling Yi asked in a deep voice.
" Hao Fu's hand, Yu Cenchen's foot."
Ling Yi didn't have many friends at school. The only ones he could truly call friends were Wang Daquan and, at the moment, Zhao Wenwen.
Ling Yi was very angry that Wang Daquan was beaten.
"Your name is Ling Yi? You are indeed very handsome. No wonder even the ice-cold Wenwen fell for you." Yu Cenchen was the first to speak.
He had his hands in his pockets, chin tilted back, looking like he was asking for trouble.
Although Ling Yi really wanted to slap this guy, he didn't want to do it himself.
Ling Yi guessed that this guy's next sentence would probably be something like a threat.
But Ling Yi didn't want to listen to this person's nonsense.
Two invisible square Soul Seal silently entered the foreheads of the two people.
"Don't you know that Wenwen is my..." Yu Cenchen hadn't finished speaking.
Suddenly, Hao Fu roared, " Yu Sancun, is that how you address Wenwen?"
"What did you call me?" Yu Cenchen looked at Hao Fu with a gloomy expression.
" Yu Sancun, what's wrong with that? Only I can call Wenwen by that name. I'll fight anyone who does!"
This dialogue is absolutely idiotic. If this plot were in a novel, it would probably be universally condemned.
But sometimes, some people and events in real life are more shocking to one's values than plots in novels.
Just then, Wang Daquan's voice rang out. "What about Zhao Wenwen's parents? Can't they call for Wenwen either?"
Ling Yi was speechless. Sure enough, every beating this guy received wasn't without reason.
