Are you really trying to cultivate immortality? Something feels off.

"He's playing tricks on me, shouldn't he be punished?" Feng Yu retorted. "Were we this mischievous when we were disciples? Would we dare speak to our master and senior uncles like that? Feng Jilan, would you dare?"

Feng Jilan dared not, but she still had to say, "Xiao Shui is just like that by nature, he is..."

"So it's my fault?" Feng Yu slammed his hand on the table, deliberately restraining the force and keeping the sound low, probably so as not to disturb the others who were sleeping. "You said you couldn't act, and made me play the villain, and now it's my fault?"

Feng Jilan clicked his tongue: "But that didn't mean you had to seal half of their spiritual power..."

The volume is a bit out of control.

Behind him, Tan Suiting frowned slightly, as if he had been disturbed in his sleep. He gently rolled over and snuggled into Xie Weixing's arms, covering his ears with his hair, and even hummed twice in extreme dissatisfaction.

They, the dragon race, cannot tolerate noise. They are light sleepers.

When they returned, fearing that they wouldn't be able to take care of everyone if they slept separately, Feng Jilan and Feng Yu put all five of them in the Sun and Moon Palace, where they lay together on a large bed so that it would be easier to check on their physical condition.

"Keep your voice down," Feng Yu frowned. "Come out here, I have something to say to you."

"Was I loud?" Feng Jilan retorted, unconvinced.

Feng Yu slapped his arm and said coldly, "Don't disturb the child. Come out and I'll have a serious talk with you."

[I can't stop laughing, how can Master and Uncle-Master be so cute?]

[A foolish sect leader teaching a foolish person—it seems like the whole sect isn't very bright.]

[Stop calling us, the five members of the Feng Hua Sect, idiots... We were all raised by our Master and Uncle-Master, who acted as both father and mother to us...]

[I laughed so hard I cried! The Dragon Palace is hallucinating me as if my parents were arguing and I was woken up by their noise.]

[I feel like Feng Jilan is the kind of dad who posts on social media asking if his child can be a child model and then argues with helpful netizens.]

[Teacher, why are my sons Zihan, Yaozu, Guangzong, Aotian, and Yuyan sleeping all the time?]

[Feng Yu is speechless, even if he dies, he'll still laugh out loud. He can't explain it to his old father.]

[Oh my gosh, so cute! Our Long'er got woken up and snuggled into Sleepy's arms to continue sleeping. A tribute to His Highness the Crown Prince, who is least attached to his senior brother, least likely to cling to him, and least possessive of him.]

As the two argued, a faint noise came from the side.

"Hmm..." Shen Chunri turned over and pressed down on Xie Weixing, squeezing the soft flesh of his face, sleeping in a mess.

Xie Wei, still half asleep, suddenly felt immense pressure, surrounded by people on all sides. He impatiently pushed them away twice, but couldn't move them.

"Where did this pig come from..." he muttered, kindly advising, "Grandma Li... don't raise pigs in the disciples' courtyard... the old man won't allow it..."

I wonder what I dreamt about again.

Feng Jilan quickly went over: "Awake?"

Feng Yu peeked out from the other side: "A little snake?"

The little snake smacked its lips and went back to sleep.

"They're probably sleeping in," Feng Yu said expressionlessly. "What does that have to do with fainting?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Weixing, who had been squeezed into a lion's mantle, finally couldn't take it anymore and barely opened his eyes, still dazed.

He glanced at the object in his arms.

Tan Suiting.

I took another look at my clothes.

Shen Chunri.

He closed his eyes, took a breath, and without hesitation kicked the girl away, saying hoarsely, "Get lost. Am I your mattress?"

Shen Chunri was jolted awake by the kick. His buttocks were stuck at the foot of the bed, and he sat in the corner with his legs wide open, his hands dangling on his knees, looking dazed and confused.

Who is she? Where is she?

Why did she suddenly take off?

Tan Suiting was also woken up and irritably buried himself deeper into Xie Weixing's arms.

Xie Weixing felt a bit sore in his bones, so he hugged Tan Suiting and turned over so that they were facing upwards.

……

Faced with two upside-down faces.

"what!"

He screamed instantly, his voice still hoarse and cracking, sounding like a broken Xue Zhiqian.

That shout was like a thunderclap, waking everyone up.

Tan Suiting suddenly opened his eyes and got up to grab his sword.

Yu Xintang was so frightened that she sat up straight on the spot, just like an old Qing Dynasty zombie whose talisman had been blown off its forehead.

Nie Zhao was startled, looked up and glanced to the side, breathing rapidly.

"What did you call me?" Feng Jilan's heart pounded in fright. He frowned and scolded, "That's improper."

Feng Yu rolled his eyes.

They're putting on that "strict teacher produces outstanding students" act again.

"Now that you're awake, get up and report what you've gained in the Li Huo Mountains," Feng Jilan cleared his throat and said. "At 1:15 PM, the Changsheng Palace will be waiting for you."

After saying that, he turned and left with his hands behind his back, completely unperturbed.

Feng Yu's lips twitched, he sighed, looked up at the five people on the bed who had different but equally blank expressions, and said gently, "I've prepared some pills for you to recover. Remember to take them later."

After saying that, he turned and left.

He left behind a room full of bewildered disciples.

*

At 3:15 PM, several people entered right on time.

Scattered and disorganized, everyone was pushing and shoving each other, only Nie Zhao walked away like a trusted disciple.

Even Tan Suiting was corrupted! He was pulled in while holding Xie Weixing's hand.

Feng Jilan felt a headache coming on again; the precarious future of Fenghua Sect seemed to vanish before his eyes like a bubble…

"Ah Zhao, you go first." Feng Jilan waved his hand and covered his forehead.

Nie Zhao paused for a moment: "I just examined the spiritual seas of my junior brothers and sisters, and the limits of our spiritual power have all been expanded, and moreover..."

She raised her hand, her expression calm: "I should be close to forming my Nascent Soul."

"Really?" Shen Chunri was very excited, grabbing her shoulder. "Senior sister, I knew you were the best!"

He felt no fear of the Nascent Soul Realm training he would soon face; instead, he was shocked and excited that Nie Zhao was about to form his Nascent Soul at the age of twenty-one.

[Wow, this is different from the original book's pacing. I remember Nie Zhao was only close to reaching the Nascent Soul stage when he was about to participate in the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Tournament.]

[After Xie Weixing transmigrated into the book, his overall cultivation speed accelerated; otherwise, Feng Jilan wouldn't have sent them to the Li Huo Mountain Range so early, and Nie Zhao wouldn't have formed his Nascent Soul so quickly.]

[The Awakening Emperor is awesome, the Senior Sister is awesome, the Feng Hua Sect is awesome!]

"Little snake," Feng Jilan began, "you speak."

Shen Chunri chuckled, and as he raised his hand, a vine sprouted from his palm.

"Senior sister, go and burn some for me."

Without hesitation, Nie Zhao threw a ball of fire over.

The lush green vines were surprisingly immune to some of the fire, with only the branches and leaves burned away, while the roots remained intact.

This is Phoenix Fire.

Nie Zhao frowned, bent down to look, remained silent for a moment, and then carefully blew out a pure fireball.

Now the vines were finally burned clean.

Shen Chunri withdrew his hand and proudly turned his head: "I have a wood spirit root, and I am usually most afraid of fire. But after coming out of the Li Huo Mountain Range, I found that the fire resistance of my tree trunk has increased by a lot."
