40: Chapter 40 Pei Lingshu: Poor acting skills!

"Young Miss! Young Miss! It's bad! It's bad!"

Pei Lingshu, who was in the courtyard, was lost in thought when her hand trembled... and she actually pinched off a petal of a lingze flower!

She stared at the old man before her with a face full of black lines... and said through gritted teeth.

"Uncle Fu... can you stop pacing around here like a ghost!"

"What kind of massive event could possibly frighten you?"

The old man spoke with a somewhat strange expression.

"It is indeed a ghost..."

"That kid... has succeeded in his Cultivate."

"Succeeded in what?"

"He succeeded in his Cultivate... of the Lesser Yuan Recovery Art!"

"Hmm?" Pei Lingshu frowned...

"How long did it take?"

Uncle Fu raised a finger... and traced a 'one'.

"One hour?"

"No... one time!"

Pei Lingshu's eyes narrowed.

"How is that possible? Even when I Cultivate back then, it took me a full half-day!"

"My Comprehension Ability was tested by the Qingtian Bureau... how could he be this fast?"

"Let's go take a look!"

...

On the wall, Pei Lingshu watched the cross-legged Shen Yi. Sensing the aura of the enlightenment stone, she couldn't help but sigh in relief.

"So it was the enlightenment stone... I knew it couldn't be that fast!"

"Wait... what is he holding in his hand?"

The cross-legged Shen Yi slightly raised his fingers... and an emerald-green luster suddenly shot out from between them.

It landed on a patch of withered grass nearby.

In an instant, the previously withered wild grass on the patch seemed to be reborn... growing vigorously.

Pei Lingshu opened her mouth, shocked, and said.

"Uncle Fu... did you make a mistake just now?"

"He was practicing the Small Life-Nurturing Technique just now, right?"

"No... it was the Lesser Yuan Recovery Art."

Just as Pei Lingshu wanted to speak... blue-green light spots suddenly appeared on Shen Yi's body.

Then, the light spots fell directly into his Physical Body, and his Spiritual Qi recovered rapidly.

Pei Lingshu felt her teeth ache a bit.

"The structures of the Daoist Magic are different; one needs to wait several breaths after casting one before being able to cast another!"

"The proficiency Realm of Daoist Magic is distinguished by Entry, Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, Peak, and Grandmaster... only at the Major Achievement Realm, or higher, can one switch between Daoist Magic without any obstruction!"

"How many hours has he been Cultivate?"

"He has succeeded in his Cultivate of two Daoist Magic in succession... and then switched between them continuously without any obstruction."

"Could this guy really be a one-in-ten-thousand Genius?"

Uncle Fu saw this and pondered.

"This kid was once a Tanhua in Pingyang Prefecture... he studied under a great Confucian scholar and read extensively, so his Comprehension Ability is naturally extraordinary?"

"But it shouldn't be this exaggerated!"

Sensing that Shen Yi seemed to be about to wake up, the two hurriedly returned to the courtyard.

Pei Lingshu narrowed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Tanhua..."

"Blind box..."

"Qinghe Town, Pingshu Town..."

"Heterodox paths... Cultivate in one night."

"This kind of method doesn't look like that of an ordinary mortal."

"Could it be some old monster reincarnated?"

Uncle Fu shook his head.

"Young Miss, please rest assured about this... Lord Pei, he... cough cough."

Pei Lingshu sneered.

"Uncle Fu, there is no need to hide it. Whether it is in substance or not, in name, I am the daughter of a disgraced official who married an official of the Immortal Dynasty."

"Even if that old thing is unconvinced and keeps staring, it is to no avail!"

Uncle Fu coughed and said somewhat awkwardly.

"Young Miss... there is truly a hidden story regarding this matter."

"Enough... I don't want to hear it."

"Since it is not an old monster reincarnated, then it must be that his fortune and Luck are exaggeratedly good."

"It's just that he hasn't entered a rank yet, so I cannot see his Luck pillar..."

"Forget it, I won't think about these things. It's good that it's not a reincarnation..."

"I didn't expect... that I would run into this person while avoiding the limelight."

"Let's just pretend... nothing ever happened!"

Uncle Fu nodded hurriedly.

Inside the courtyard, Shen Yi felt the sense of enlightenment dissipate and felt a bit regretful.

The enlightenment stone is truly worthy of being an enlightenment stone... coupled with the rate of return, it allowed him to quickly master the [Hanhai Peiyuan Qi-Eating Method], [Lesser Yuan Recovery Art], and [Small Life-Nurturing Technique].

Moreover, under constant micro-adjustments, he was able to cast Daoist Magic quickly.

Of course, Shen Yi didn't know his actions were so shocking... he just wanted to recover his mana bar faster!

He sat cross-legged and then slowly began to recover.

Until several days passed in a hurry.

Shen Yi calculated that it was about time, so he returned to the small courtyard.

Hearing the creaking sound of the door, Shen Yi opened his eyes.

His eyes were shining with brilliance.

Pei Lingshu, wearing a white silk inner robe, walked out while yawning.

Shen Yi walked to the flower bed at the foot of the wall as if no one was around, looked at a somewhat withered flower... and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Oh my... why has this flower withered?"

"Could it be that its vitality has been cut off?"

"Watch me cast a Daoist Magic... Rejuvenation!"

After speaking, Shen Yi manipulated the Small Life-Nurturing Technique... and dark green light spots fell onto the flower.

That flower seemed to have eaten some ultimate tonic... its stem stood up like steel bars!

Pei Lingshu saw everything and felt that the man in front of her was truly terrible at acting.

But she still had to play along with him.

However, this man was very crafty and even knew how to hide his clumsiness!

No choice... just pretend!

Pei Lingshu's eyes shook violently... and she revealed a look of shock at the perfect moment.

"How is that possible!"

"In just a few days, you learned the Small Life-Nurturing Technique?"

"Your Comprehension Ability and talent are actually so high... it makes many Immortal Dao Prodigies blush with shame..."

Shen Yi smiled reservedly... but seeing that Pei Lingshu couldn't continue the act, she had a somewhat forced smile on her face.

"It seems that I have to give you this second-grade Daoist Magic!"

Subsequently, a Jade Slip fell into Shen Yi's hand.

Shen Yi looked closely..

[Cangding Poison Dragon Flower - Second Grade]

"This Daoist Magic... can induce the growth of a Poison Dragon Flower seed, can entangle enemies, can shoot poisonous thorns, and inject toxins... causing paralysis at best, and sudden death at worst."

Pei Lingshu said in a deep voice.

"This time, consider yourself lucky..."

Shen Yi smiled as he put it away, said "thank you for the concession," and walked out of the courtyard.

The door gradually closed... and a laugh like silver bells suddenly came from inside the courtyard.

Of course, Shen Yi had no way of knowing this.

He first found Xu Erniang and handed over the Bainongzis Essential Guide to Spiritual Planting... the purpose was to Cultivate some ordinary spiritual plants.

After all, the sowing of Moonflower Rice depends on spiritual fields... and currently, Qinghe Town only has two acres of spiritual fields.

The remaining fields need to be sown with some ranked spiritual plants.

This requires Spirit Farmer to Cultivate them... but now that Shen Yi is about to set off, he has no time to organize it.

He could only hand it over to Xu Erniang.

Afterwards... Shen Yi arrived at the drill ground.

The intelligence probability did not show any abnormalities... perfect!

Seeing nearly three hundred soldiers ready... he didn't waste any words!

The land deed was activated, and the teleportation array was violently opened.

Inside, there was only dead silence.
