Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 107 Farewell
The next round of school challenge will be held in Dongli City in fifteen days.

Only the top three in the individual and team competitions can participate in the Dongli City School Challenge.

Unfortunately, the team from Yunxi No. 2 Middle School did not make it into the top three and ended up ranking sixth, losing the qualification to advance to the next round.

Since Li Zhen won the first place in the Tianchang City Individual Challenge, the room he lived in was changed to a luxury suite.

Teacher Zou brought Wang Rushi and others to the luxury suite as guests. They also came to say goodbye.

"This is the premium suite. It is said that only those who have established a true foundation are qualified to enter!" As soon as Shi Xuan entered the premium suite, he looked around and praised it repeatedly.

Even Wang Rushi, who came from a good family, was amazed when she saw the decoration of the luxury suite, not to mention Fang Congzhi, whose eyes were not enough.

"Teacher Zou, the three seniors, please have some tea!" Li Zhen greeted with a smile.

What he used was first-grade premium spiritual tea, but it was not his own. Instead, it was the stock in this luxury suite.

Of course, there wasn't much first-grade premium spiritual tea in the luxury suite, just enough to entertain one or two guests. This time he took it all out to entertain Teacher Zou and the others.

"This is top-grade spiritual tea. It would be a waste to give it to us!" Teacher Zou was attracted by the spiritual tea and shook his head.

It’s not that he hasn’t drunk top-grade spiritual tea before, but this was brought out by his students, and he felt reluctant to let Li Zhen go.

"Nothing is wasted. I've drunk it a long time ago. This top-grade spiritual tea is most effective the first time!" Li Zhen waved his hand indifferently.

In fact, he probably drank spiritual tea more times than Principal Wang of No. 2 Middle School. In addition to obtaining a lot of spiritual tea from the auction, he also had a first-grade, top-quality spiritual tea tree.

"Top-grade spiritual tea, I won't be polite!" Shi Xuan and Fang Congzhi, who were touring the luxury suite, heard Li Zhen's words and no longer cared about the tour. They picked up the teacup and said with a smile.

Wang Rushi must have drunk top-grade spiritual tea, as she behaved very normally. However, she probably didn't drink much on a normal basis. She took a sip of the tea and closed her eyes to feel it.

The room was quiet for a while. Shi Xuan and Fang Congzhi benefited the most. After absorbing the energy from the spiritual tea, they looked at Li Zhen with gratitude.

You should know that the spare resources in the luxury suite are all rewards given to Li Zhen.

The first-grade superior spiritual tea might be just an ordinary tea for those who practiced foundation building, but Tianchang City arranged the top three into high-end suites. The resources here were extremely high rewards for the Qi training practitioners.

"Li Zhen, as your teacher, I will not be able to accompany you from now on. Tianchang City will probably send a foundation-building cultivator to accompany you!" Teacher Zou said helplessly, putting down the cup.

"Teacher, I'd like to trouble the school to help take care of my parents!" Li Zhen thought for a moment and said seriously to Teacher Zou.

This time he jumped to become the first place in the individual challenge, which brought him great benefits, but it also brought him troubles. The safety of his parents was what he was most worried about.

"You don't have to tell me about this. From the information I received, your parents will be protected by at least a ten-member team led by an eighth-level Qi training cultivator. The county chief will also take special care of them, so there will be no problem with their safety!" Teacher Zou patted Li Zhen's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Please help me express my gratitude to the county chief!" Li Zhen said, bowing.

"I'll bring it there!" Teacher Zou nodded.

Wang Rushi and the other two actually had a lot to ask Li Zhen, such as how Li Zhen learned thunder magic and 'Sword Qi Thunder Sound', and how he practiced swordsmanship to the perfect level, etc.

However, they did not speak at this moment. Li Zhen was too dazzling and made them feel that there was a gap.

After seeing off Teacher Zou and the seniors, Li Zhen also felt a slight sense of estrangement between them.

This is also normal. The gap between cultivators is huge. Judging from Li Zhen’s current performance, the seniors are almost certain that Li Zhen has a great chance of becoming a true cultivator in the foundation-building stage.

Because Li Zhen's talent is so strong, he will definitely enter a top university in the future. The biggest advantage of entering a top university is that the resources for practicing Qi and advancing to foundation building can be exchanged. For example, scarce resources outside, such as foundation building pills, have sufficient stocks in top universities.

The seniors have already regarded Li Zhen as a person different from them, and there will inevitably be a huge gap in his future achievements. This self-knowledge is clearly reflected in his attitude which is different from before.

Li Zhen sat in the training room filled with second-grade superior spiritual energy, which could be used by any foundation-building cultivator to practice.

He did not start practicing immediately, but instead used his spatial magical power and disappeared in the practice room.

In recent days, he has been busy with the challenge competition and rarely comes to the ancient world market. He only goes there for a short time when he trades with old monk Qian. Li Zhen appeared in the basement. He pushed the mechanism above, but found that it was locked.

His expression became serious, knowing that something had happened.

This mechanism is very simple, it is just a flap door. There is only one possibility if the mechanism cannot be pushed open, that is, there is a blockage above.

He pricked up his ears and listened quietly to the sound above.

There was no sound of fighting outside, which made him feel a lot more at ease.

He took apart the mechanism door and saw clearly what was blocking the entrance to the basement.

"My wooden house collapsed!" Li Zhen murmured.

His voice was full of disbelief. Don’t underestimate the wooden house, which is simply made of wooden boards without any decoration. However, the wooden house is the face of the market town, and the market town makes profits by using the wooden houses.

The wooden houses that the casual cultivators obtained by spending spirit stones were a way of exchanging spirit stones for safety.

Li Zhen pushed the collapsed wooden board above with force, and he found the small inverted five elements formation that was pressed down.

After the wooden house collapsed, the spirit stones inside the Small Inverted Five Elements Formation were not completely consumed, so it was still running, but the hiding range was shrunk to a very small area, and the Small Inverted Five Elements Formation itself was also hidden.

Li Zhen put away the small inverted five elements formation. Fortunately, this formation had a concealing function, otherwise the formation would have been discovered long ago.

Of course, there were also people who would not believe that a lowest-level spiritual plant husband who was extremely poor would have such a thing as an array plate, and even valuable items should not appear here.

After pushing away the wooden board, he found that there were ruins all around him. Looking into the distance, he saw that most of the wooden houses in the area where he was located in the center of the town had collapsed.

Judging from the signs of damage at the scene, it must have been more than two days.

He had no idea what had happened in the market town, so he decided to ask someone.

Leaving the ruins behind, you can also see many damaged areas on the ground of the main street of the market town.

Some monks were repairing the damages, their expressions were numb and without any spirit.

Seeing this, Li Zhen knew that he could not get any information from these monks.

He was thinking about which store to inquire about the news, but he saw an old figure sitting on the side of the road.

He sensed a dead silence from this man, which was caused by the loss of his spirit.

"Old Qian!" Although the old figure was missing a leg and his face was covered with small pits and wounds, he still recognized the old monk Qian at a glance.

Old Qian looked up blankly. The eyes that were full of hope a few days ago no longer had the longing of the past. Instead, there was only a dead heart.

"It's you. I'm sorry, all the talismans you gave me are gone!" After recognizing Li Zhen, there was color in his eyes and he said bitterly.

"What happened in the market? How did you get so badly injured?" Li Zhen asked without paying attention to the talisman.

"Three nights ago, the Iron Sword Gang and the Zhao family suddenly fought in the market town. They found helpers and first destroyed the formation. Then there was a battle, and my leg was affected!" Fear flashed in the eyes of old monk Qian, and he whispered what had happened.

The Iron Sword Gang and the Zhao family have been running the market town for many years. Even though all the people on the surface have withdrawn from the market town, no one can tell how many hidden cultivators are still in the market town.

The leader of the Iron Sword Gang found help from somewhere, and his injuries were properly treated.

In another battle for the market town, the Tiejian Gang and the Zhao family had four half-step foundation-building warriors, while the market town had only three half-step foundation-building warriors. Moreover, the third half-step foundation-building warrior from the market town was extremely weak, the weakest among the half-step foundation-building warriors.

Four against three, and with the help of secret agents in the market town, the Iron Sword Gang and the Zhao family were able to destroy the formation and go head-on with the Golden Knife Gang, the Lin family, and the alliance of smaller forces.
