The two people in teal and white stepped back far away from the stone. Xiao Chen was also scared as hell and wanted to take his hand back. However, it seemed that his hand had been cauterized on the stone. He was not able to take his hand back. All of a sudden, the black stone vibrated violently and then shattered with an earthshaking boom. This stone contained a great amount of Mystic Power, so its explosion was catastrophic. Yu Yifeng had seen this coming. He pointed two fingers at Xiao Chen as a beam of white radiance dashed forth and instantly changed into a radiance curtain that shrouded Xiao Chen. Then, he flashed to Xiao Chen in a beam of light and pressed on Xiao Chen's wrist. After a long time, the crowd in the square was still restless. Yu Yifeng released Xiao Chen's hand and said loudly, "Everyone, do not panic. The test stone had gone wrong just now. Junior Brother Xiao has six Upper Spiritual Meridians." His words carried more autho

Two wind chimes were hanging on the eaves of a house. The style of the wind chimes resembled the one hanging on that girl's carriage. "Who on earth is that girl? We don't even know about each other. Why did she help me like this?" Xiao Chen was confused. "Okay then, I'm leaving, Junior Brother. Remember to take the entrance ceremony tomorrow morning." The disciple in teal said. Xiao Chen smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay. Farewell, Senior Brother Teal Clothes." The disciple coughed and said, "I'm not Teal Clothes. My name is Qing Shi." He then flew to a high peak on the sword radiance. "Ah..." Xiao Chen yawned and stretched. It had been so long since he left home, and he finally settled down. Lil Ruo said, "I'll go boil some water for Young Master." "Okay, good." Xiao Chen nodded and was going to the house when footsteps suddenly rose outside. "Nobody lives here

"Hmm? Young Master, where did you get this mini cauldron? Why is it puffing smoke itself?" Lil Ruo asked in surprise. "Hehe, it's nothing. Let's eat." Xiao Chen smiled and said. He picked up a piece of vegetable with his chopsticks and put it into her bowl. In the afternoon, Xiao Chen had washed the mini cauldron clean. He put it on the table and sized it up again and again. Just now, he tried to burn it, smash it with stone, and even slash it with Unsullied. But none of the actions dealt a trace of damage to the cauldron. He did not know what material it was made of. It looked like wood, yet it was incredibly hard. He was now exactly in need of a cauldron to refine elixirs. He shook his head with a smile and said, "I might as well name you Wonder Wood Cauldron." Although his attainment in alchemy was not as high as that in formations, his elixir-refining technique was not bad. He took out some herbs that he collected in the

Elder Wu later too joined the disciples in the evening lessons. The three Elders together lectured the disciples with various theories and knowledge. The lessons continued until dawn, when Elder Song instructed two acolytes to distribute to everyone a thick booklet. "These manuscripts contain theories on cultivation methods of the Body Refining Realm, some explanations and descriptions of elixirs, methods of magical formations and barriers, as well as some other basic skills and techniques. Memorize them well, young ones. There will be a written test for all of you seven days later." Everyone cradled their thick and heavy manuscripts, feeling sullen. Would they be able to memorize everything in seven days? Not to mention comprehending them. Later on, Elder Song opened a pouch that an acolyte had brought to him and poured out some green-colored crystals which are in the size of a person's thumb. He said, "These are Spirit Stones. You will receive t

Ye Shaochong stopped in his tracks and slowly turned. He flashed a deadly glare so terrifying that everyone felt a chill down their spine. Noticing that the tinderbox might be setting off, Princes Qi and Yan threw themselves at Meng Qi trying to hold him back while Prince Zhao went to Ye Shaochong with a welcoming smile, "All is well, all is well, Senior Brother Ye. We will pay our dues of Spirit Stones next month with no delay." Ye Shaochong smiled wickedly, "Smart. Remember, I am king here. You can get all the help you want. I will be here waiting for you." When he had finished, he turned and walked off smugly. A while later, both Princes Qi and Yan were rubbing Xiao Chen's chest to soothe his anger, "Be calm, Brother Xiao. There is no need to sully your hands with such trash..." Prince Zhao came over and sighed, "We only wanted you here to accompany us, Senior Brother Xiao. Your presence calms us. We did not expect yo
