The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#364 - Obsessed?

Yan Jun was also a cultivator, so naturally, she knew how difficult it was to master spells.

It was only within the academy, where the mystical energy was dense, greatly reducing the difficulty and consumption of casting spells, that the students could master different spells so quickly.

If they were outside, learning a new spell would be even more difficult.

Moreover, being able to cast a spell was only the first step. Afterward, they had to continuously cultivate to improve the success rate and effect of the spell, which required even more time and effort.

And as everyone knew, Lu Jing had not yet embarked on the path of cultivation during the small competition.

Yan Jun looked at a dianthus next to her that had already grown to be almost half a person tall. It was hard for her to believe that someone could cultivate "Lush Green" to this extent in just over ten days.

Moreover, the vegetation that was growing wildly around her was far more than just this one dianthus.

Yan Jun asked Lu Jing, "Have you already started foundation building?"

"I have already completed foundation building."

"… … … …"

"Then your Mystic Cauldron?"

"Grade A." Lu Jing sighed. He felt a headache whenever he talked about this.

After researching these past few days, he had discovered that some of his previous worries had indeed come true. Like internal energy, the capacity of his upper dantian was naturally one grade higher than other cultivators in the same realm.

In other words, although he had only opened one palace, the amount of mystical energy stored in his Niwan Palace had already reached the level of a two-palace cultivator.

If it were just like this, it would be fine. After all, although he had a lot of mystical energy himself, because he could not sense and borrow the mystical energy between heaven and earth, all the mystical energy used for casting spells came from his own body.

As a result, the consumption was naturally greater than that of others. However, what was fatal was that he had a suspected perfect Mystic Cauldron, which caused him to expend mystical energy with extraordinary difficulty, and the expansion speed of the Niwan Palace was also exceptionally outrageous.

Had he known this, Lu Jing would not have swallowed any Heavenly One Life Water casually back then.

Seeing Lu Jing sigh, Yan Jun misunderstood and thought that he was lamenting his life of going through many hardships, but finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel after suffering.

So she nodded in agreement, "Heaven is about to assign a great task, must first harden his mind, exercise his muscles and bones, fortunately, now all this is finally rewarded, this year's disciples in the academy, only two have Grade A Mystic Cauldron, of course, there is also Xia Huai, calculate that her foundation building will also be in these two days ... If nothing unexpected happens, her Mystic Cauldron should also be Grade A."

"Besides you, who is the other one?" Lu Jing asked casually.

"I'm not Grade A," Yan Jun shook her head, "My talisman burned for more than a cup of tea. Although it only exceeded by a few breaths, according to the academy's rules, it can indeed only be considered Grade B."

Lu Jing was a little surprised. During the small competition, he saw that Yan Jun was so relaxed and easily ahead of other academy disciples, including him, and always thought that Yan Jun's path of cultivation was as smooth as her path of martial arts.

But now it seems that it probably confirms what his high school teacher said when he was motivating them, you must work very hard to look effortless.

It seems that being the number one person of the younger generation like Yan Jun is not so easy.

"The remaining two are Little Monk Zhaoming and a Divine Fist Sect disciple named Chen Hanqing."

Lu Jing recalled, but found that he had no impression of the latter name at all.

Seeming to know what he was thinking, Yan Jun added, "Chen Hanqing didn't want to be compared by others because his martial arts were too poor, so he simply didn't participate in this small competition."

Lu Jing nodded, then curiously asked, "Did you come to me for something?"

"Today, Professor Xu mentioned you in class, saying that he saw your Destiny Star and saw that you seemed to have a great opportunity recently, but also seemed to be facing a great disaster, so after listening to the class, I came over to see if there was anything I could help you with." Yan Jun said truthfully, "But now it seems that the first half of his words is very accurate, but the second half is not entirely true."

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become awkward again, Yan Jun was about to say goodbye decisively, but she heard Lu Jing suddenly speak, "Miss Yan, can I take the liberty to ask, how did you find me?"

Lu Jing had not told anyone about practicing in the back mountain, and in order not to be watched, the place he chose was also quite remote. According to Yan Jun's words, she went to Lu Jing's residence after finishing the Celestial Phenomenon Observation and Deduction class, and when she didn't find him, she came straight here.

When Yan Jun heard Lu Jing's question, she also frowned. She recalled it again and was shocked to realize that she didn't even know how she found him.

Moreover, she clearly saw and heard everything along the way, but if she didn't carefully recall it, she wouldn't have any impression of this memory. Yan Jun didn't even feel strange.

As a top expert, the first thing she thought of was cultivation deviation. She didn't have time to answer Lu Jing's question and immediately sat down cross-legged and checked her meridians and internal breath, but found that everything was normal.

Moreover, cultivation deviation obviously couldn't explain why she could easily find Lu Jing, which made Yan Jun's frown deepen.

Lu Jing watched from the side, but unfortunately couldn't help.

Yan Jun checked her upper dantian again, but still couldn't find anything abnormal, which made her feel a little irritable.

She and Lu Jing were not relatives or friends, so why would they have such a telepathy? The only place where the two of them could be said to have intersected was that night at Zhao Mansion when Lu Jing fed her water mouth to mouth.

But even this unconventional intimate act, in theory, shouldn't have brought about such a change.

Yan Jun was almost suspecting that there was some strange object on Lu Jing's body, which secretly affected her by feeding her water, but she quickly denied this guess, for no other reason than that she knew very well that Lu Jing was not such a person.

In the end, Yan Jun could only get up from the ground again and said faintly, "I have nothing to do, maybe it's just an accident."

However, Yan Jun knew very well in her heart that neither she nor Lu Jing would believe this sentence.

However, seeing that Yan Jun was unwilling to delve into it, Lu Jing didn't ask any further questions. After the two chatted casually for a few words, Yan Jun found an excuse to say goodbye.

And Lu Jing was reminded by Yan Jun and realized that he had not been to school for lectures for too long. Although he did have important things to do, it would be a big joke if he was expelled from the academy for skipping class for so long.

It just so happened that he had almost made up for his foundation, and both the Sword Control Technique and Lush Green had improved their realms. It was time to show his face in the lecture hall.
