Chapter 31: That's not the Happiness I Want
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mingri left with a strong sense of unwillingness...
However, although he had been thinking about Xu Lingjun viciously in his heart, before he left, he still gave Xu Lingjun a small jade pendant!
According to him, the jade pendant was specially crafted from Lichen jade that could hold true qi in it. The jade pendant was filled to 80% with his true qi. If Xu Lingjun shattered the jade pendant, the true qi within would form a turbulent flow, and all the attacks before him would vanish into thin air.
At a critical moment, it could save his life.
If he wanted to join the sect one day, he only needed to bring the jade pendant to the Riyueming Sect as it would be considered a token... With the token, he could still become a disciple of the sect.
"According to the characteristics of the Lichen jade, the jade pendant will be constantly consuming the true qi in it. Under mutual consumption, the true qi will disappear in three years, so will the jade pendant," On the return flight, Mingri explained to his junior sister, "If he has the intention to join the Riyueming Sect within three years, I will naturally take him in. But after three years, he would have missed his peak... At that time, even if I nurture him carefully, it will be of little value."
"Even though he was saying it so ruthlessly, he still couldn't bear to give up on Xu Lingjun," Liu Peiyun thought to herself.
Of course, Liu Peiyun kept her thoughts to herself.
She didn't dare to say anything.
One had to know that it was her fault the Riyueming Sect had missed out on such an outstanding disciple. Her senior brother had already given her a great deal of face by not destroying her.
If she ridiculed him now, she would really die without knowing it.
The Riyueming Sect left with four disciples. Mingri didn't accept Xu Lingjun's suggestion. After all, he was the sect master. He would rather go without than accept someone shoddy. As such, he was unwilling to find someone to fill the spot...
Before Ji Roufeng left, she had also visited Xu Lingjun with Li Lei... She very subtly hinted that the sect master had left the spot empty on purpose for him, and she was, in fact, also waiting for him.
Xu Lingjun jested and turned the topic away.
If it was in the past, he would definitely have gone in high spirits the minute he knew he had a chance to join a sect.
Unfortunately, the sects could only give him so little now. In comparison, the value of joining a sect was extremely low.
On the other hand, Wang Qingya was very warm as she asked for Ji Roufeng's contact information, indicating that they could contact each other more in the future.
Xu Lingjun could not help but complain to Wang Qingya in private...
He was seriously not interested in her.
Isn't she just somewhat beautiful? He didn't even know what her personality was like..
He wasn't the kind of person who couldn't control his lower body when he saw beautiful women. It was those women who hadn't been unable to control themselves...
Of course, the last sentence was purely full of himself. No matter how thick-skinned Xu Lingjun was, he was too embarrassed to say it to Wang Qingya.
Unfortunately, when Wang Qingya smiled as she took out the box of condoms that Guo Zheng gave him from the drawer, Xu Lingjun could only shut up.
In the next few days, Xu Lingjun got busy.
First, he decided what to do with the flesh and bones of the bone-splitting lizard. The Armed Police Department bought the flesh of the bone-splitting lizard he killed at a price of 1,000 Xia dollars per kilogram, which directly made Xu Lingjun's personal wealth reach 500,000 yuan. The price they offered was not high, but it was not low either... Basically, it could be considered honest.
As for the bones, according to Yuan Tianqing's original thoughts, other than the skull that was useless since it had been completely shattered, the other bones of the bone-splitting lizard were also extremely tough. If they were softened with a unique material and made into armor, the defensive ability would be quite strong. When it was finished, he would give Xu Lingjun a set, and it could also be considered as befriending the talented student who was almost 100% able to enter the North Xuanwu University in advance.
Unfortunately, the Chief's words shattered his delusion, "Since he can break the teeth of the bone-splitting lizard, what use does he have for armor made from the bones of the bone-splitting lizard?"
Yuan Tianqing was silent for a while, then tactfully stopped talking about this matter.
Upon receiving the money, the first thing Xu Lingjun did was treat Wang Qingya to a meal at the best restaurant in the entire Qingzhou City. During this period, he had been living off of her. If he continued, when they got married in the future, he was afraid that he wouldn't even have the confidence to have an erection before her.
After all, how could he be tough if he lived off of her?
He had to prove to her that he, Xu Lingjun, wouldn't live off of her!
After that, he went to the pharmacy and purchased a large batch of qi and blood tonifying oral liquids and pills.
Although the consumption on his source value wasn't small, things existed to be used, anyway.
The cultivation of the "Infinite Celestial Demon Body-tempering Technique" relied on blood qi. Taking the pills to increase his blood qi could greatly increase his blood qi's abilities, thus strengthening his cultivation of the "Infinite Celestial Demon Body-tempering Technique", which was where his foundation lay.
However, he did not dare to take the pills as frequently as before like he was unafraid of death. He only took a second pill after ensuring that all the blood qi had been digested and transformed into cultivation.
He was making sure that he didn't take the pills too frequently that the residual medicinal effects would nourish some other part of his body... He did not want to live a life with a belt around his waist in the future. That was not the kind of happiness he wanted.
As the members of the Riyueming Sect left.
Although two people were gone from the class, that is Wei Hua and Li Lei, life in Qingyang High School had gradually returned to normal.
Xu Lingjun had already begun to focus most of his attention on the general knowledge classes.
To sharpen his spear only before going onto the battlefield, it was a little too late.
Just as Wang Qingya had said, powerful martial artists were not illiterate. If one wanted to achieve success in martial arts, one had to be good in both martial arts and general knowledge. Besides, one couldn't just enter the North Xuanwu University with martial arts.
One also had to have good general knowledge results.
For this matter, Xu Lingjun went to the pharmacy again to buy a large batch of Life No.1 pills.
Its description said that the pills could replenish the brain's nutrients and increase one's memory... The evaluation given by the system was that it was completely fake. It could not even be considered inferior.
However, Xu Lingjun paid 150 source value points for each box of pills, allowing it to truly increase one's memory while not having any toxic side effects... It could not be helped. If there were no side effects in the introduction, it wouldn't have any either after Xu Lingjun's source value modification!
Over 1,000 source value points were used.
Xu Lingjun's heart ached, but the improvement was obvious.
Although it wasn't to the point he had a photographic memory, he could already clearly remember everything that had happened recently. On top of that, his brain was fresh, making it much easier to learn cultural knowledge.
Even Wang Qingya, who helped him study at night, couldn't help but praise him. She said if they disregarded his comprehension abilities, just his memorization abliites alone made it a pity if he did not join War University.
Xu Lingjun was naturally quite delighted. He hadn't expected that the learning that had given him a headache back then would become so simple now.
It was simply the greatest happiness when the object matched its introduction.
It was just that his source value was very limited. Otherwise, he might have already been unable to resist the urge to taste the true flavor of instant noodles.
Time passed by slowly...
Compared to before, there were still some slight changes.
For example, Qingyang High School had already developed a deep-level cooperation with the Baoyan Martial Arts Center.
Many students in the class began to go to the center to learn martial techniques after school.
Having personally witnessed the lethality of Xu Lingjun's fists, they were naturally eager to learn the martial technique that was so powerful it could kill demonic beasts.
After learning the martial technique, they would take the initiative to ask Xu Lingjun for cultivation advice and things about the martial technique after class...
Because they vaguely felt that Xu Lingjun's attainments in the Killing-flame Fist were even higher.
It was somewhat absurd and funny. After all, the strength of a dignified Convergence Tier martial artist was still worlds apart from Xu Lingjun's even if he was disabled. But for some unknown reason, the Killing-flame Fist that Lie Fenglei executed, in terms of the aura and the other criteria, simply could not be compared to Xu Lingjun.
The Lie brothers were still in a daze...
In the past few days, after asking around, they finally knew what had happened.
Someone had learned the Killing-flame Fist Technique of their martial arts center. Then, when that someone was attacked by a demonic beast, he had used the Killing-flame Fist to kill that demonic beast..
It sounded like there was nothing wrong with the whole matter, but even if others might not know, how could the Lie brothers not know the stuff they were selling?
It was hard to say whether one could even kill a pet with their martial technique, let alone a demonic beast!
Were they kidding?
