From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 214: People's Restlessness
But if it weren't for the identity of the sword master, they would not have been able to come into contact with the world of cultivation when the Chinese people were still studying physics and talking about the science of Newton. It can only be said that there must be a cause and effect.

In Yuanjun Temple, just as Xia Jiajie was taken away by Instructor Ma, the news of her breakthrough to awakening her spirit spread.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be big news, as twelve of the sixteen prospective sword masters have already reached the level of awakened spirits.

But the strange thing is that before National Day, Xia Jiajie's cultivation had just entered the three yang meridians of the foot among the twelve main meridians, and she hadn't even seen the shadow of the eight extraordinary meridians.

In just five days, the three yang meridians of the foot and the eight extraordinary meridians were opened up. This is obviously very unscientific.

In response to this, Ke He had no choice but to declare to those who came to inquire that Xia Jiajie was gifted, had accumulated a lot of experience, and would achieve success late in life.

Ke He felt a little regretful. He didn't expect that Xia Jiajie would break through and awaken her spirit before him.

However, if she hadn't changed her cultivation method, she would have achieved the spiritual awakening breakthrough a few days ago.

Naturally, no one believed her lies. Instead, they all noticed her and Ke He's abnormal behavior of going out at night to look for spiritual fruits for five consecutive days.

Zhu Yixuan was even more restless every day, and was often in a daze when practicing sword with Shao Qiwei.

When Zhu Yixuan and most people heard that Ke He and Xia Jiajie were searching for spiritual fruits all over the mountains, they thought that they were impatient and only wanted to take shortcuts. They always had unrealistic fantasies. Spiritual fruits were so rare and precious, how could you find them just by wanting to?
When Xia Jiajie and Ke He announced to the public that they had found the first spiritual fruit, most people's thoughts changed again: how could the cultivation gained by taking shortcuts and borrowing external objects be as profound and solid as the cultivation gained through their hard work and meditation?

When Xia Jiajie and Ke He announced that they had found the second spiritual fruit, Zhu Yixuan thought, you clown, it was just luck, try finding the third one if you have the ability.

When Xia Jiajie and Ke He announced that they had found the third and fourth spiritual fruits, Zhu Yixuan cursed the officials and Instructor Ma for not patrolling the mountain carefully enough, which led to the missing of so many rare treasures on the mountain and allowed others to take advantage of them.

Until today, when Zhu Yixuan heard that Xia Jiajie had found the fifth spiritual fruit and successfully broke through the spiritual awakening stage, Zhu Yixuan was silent for a few seconds, and then found other instructors to get a pass for the evening.
When Zhu Yixuan left the instructor's office, he met several prospective sword masters who were also applying for passes with their heads lowered.

They were also the ones who had previously shouted that hard work was better than external things and jumped the most happily.

When Zhu Yixuan walked into the martial arts hall, Shao Qiwei was sitting alone in the hall holding a scripture in his hand.

"Now everyone wants to go to the mountains to see if they can find their own opportunities. Why are you still so calm?"

Zhu Yixuan was very puzzled. At this moment, Shao Qiwei was too calm. His expression was peaceful, and he was turning page after page of the scriptures in his hand.

"Some opportunities have already been destined to have a master since they appeared, and you can't grab them even if you want to."

Shao Qiwei didn't raise his eyes and replied calmly.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Yixuan frowned. "Those two little girls were able to reap rewards one after another. I don't believe my luck is worse than theirs."

"That's all I have to say. If you want to find it, go find it yourself."

Zhu Yixuan then noticed that Shao Qiwei was not wearing the tight training clothes specially used for sword training: "What's wrong with you? Aren't you going to practice sword today?"

"No." Shao Qiwei closed the book and looked up and said, "You are restless today and not suitable for sword practice. I'd rather read the scriptures and meditate."

Zhu Yixuan had a cold face and said nothing more.
Shao Qiwei was right. She was indeed feeling restless now. Thinking about how Xia Jiajie and Ke He, the two last-place guys, had the bad luck to catch up with her within a few days, she had no reason not to feel restless.

The Zhu and Shao families are old friends.

Unlike Zhu Yixuan, Shao Qiwei's family has very few direct descendants, so he is basically the crown prince and the definite heir.

As for Zhu Yixuan, her parents and various elders and uncles were too capable. The support she could get from the family with just the identity of a reserve sword master was really limited. In the sword master positioning assessment the day after tomorrow, she must obtain the identity of a deputy sword master.
Just as Shao Qiwei was about to turn the page of the book again with his slender fingers, a bell suddenly rang throughout the Yuanjun Temple.

The bell sounded as if it came from a very high place, and it rang six times in a dull and solemn manner.

"Xia Jiajie went to Zhaojian Tower." Shao Qiwei sighed and spoke softly.

Zhu Yixuan snorted coldly: "Humph, she has only just broken through to the Qiling stage. It's too slow for her to open this Zhaojian Tower."

After that, Zhu Yixuan packed up her things and walked past Shao Qiwei.

"What are you going to do?"

"Since you don't want to practice swordsmanship, I might as well go back and prepare night clothes and climbing equipment."

Zhu Yixuan had already walked a long way away, and Shao Qiwei had not turned the scroll in his hand again.

"I thought you would break through before Xia Jiajie..."

Shao Qiwei closed the book, stood up, and looked calmly in the direction of Ke He's dormitory.
-
On the sixth night, Qi Qiansu and Chen Xiyan stayed up late to work overtime to compile the exercises, and did not go to the Stone Scripture Road. Only Chi Ming and Li Yang were present.

As soon as he saw the two girls, Xia Jiajie and Ke He, Li Yang frowned.

"Did you bump into anything today?"

Facing Li Yang's active inquiry, Xia Jiajie was flattered at first, but after reacting, she carefully asked: "I don't know what you are talking about, Master?"

Li Yang frowned slightly: "Did you touch the sword?"

Xia Jiajie nodded blankly: "Master, how did you know that?"

"Of course I know." In Li Yang's perception, Xia Jiajie was like a firefly glowing in the dark, exuding a strange aura.

Moreover, this fluctuation seemed to attract him.

At this moment, Chi Ming at the intersection of Shijing Road seemed to have sensed something and spoke coldly.

"Girl, did you bring some friends over?"

"Friends? What friends? We are following your instructions. How dare we bring people here?"

"Really? But now it seems like there are a few little kids crawling up from below."

Chi Ming laughed strangely, which was full of deep meaning.

"I know, is it Zhu Yixuan and the others!" Ke He thought of the people who had been asking her about the spiritual fruit picking spot today, and immediately realized that someone was following them. They wanted to intercept the fortune.

Afterwards, Ke He hurriedly explained the situation to Li Yang.

"Two idiots, they didn't even know they were being followed."

Li Yang scolded him but he didn't seem to care.

"They can come if they want to, but whether I want to see them is another matter."

After saying that, Li Yang hid the light of the Nanming Sword and threw it casually: "Let's go, let's go and find the last medicine 'Yun Xin'."
