153: Shen Yun

"divine charm?"

This wasn't the first time Xiao Weiqing had heard the term divine charm; the divine weapon of the god Yun Chen had also said his divine charm power was insufficient.

The mind spirit fruit that Qian Yi asked him to fight for was also described as containing a large amount of divine charm.

"That's right, divine charm!"

"What exactly is divine charm?" Xiao Weiqing asked.

"divine charm is just divine charm."

Xiao Weiqing frowned. "What are its effects?"

"Effects? divine charm can be used to increase strength, evolve—which is what you call Awakening—and nourish companion weapons. In short, it has many uses."

"Is that so..."

Second Girl wagged her tail and said slowly, "In a world like yours where Spiritual Qi has not been revived for long, it's impossible for divine charm substance to be born. If you want to get divine charm, you can only go to other Civilization Ruins to snatch it."

"Kid, do you want to cooperate with me? I know some places with a large amount of divine charm substance. If we cooperate and pull off a big job, I guarantee that you won't have to worry about the divine charm for your future Awakening or my evolution."

"Oh, I see."

"Goodbye."

Xiao Weiqing waved his hand and left, treating the Orange Cat's words as if he hadn't heard them.

"Hey, don't go! We can talk things over."

Second Girl was still shouting from behind.

But Xiao Weiqing didn't stop, not even looking back. He planned to return to the academy and ask his teacher.

"Second Girl, stop shouting. Let's go back."

"Silly girl, what do you know? This kid definitely has a big secret. To think such a Genius would exist in a barbaric land like this."

"Cooperating with him now is a guaranteed win. Why don't you mate with him and have a few litters of cubs? That way, you can establish a relationship, and things will be easier to handle in the future."

Hearing this.

Huang Yitong's face turned beet red, and she slapped Second Girl's butt several times. "What nonsense are you talking about? Mating? That sounds terrible."

"Ah~~ Stop hitting me, stop hitting me! I'm doing this for your own good. You don't know, but I smelled the aura of a god on this boy. He's bound to achieve great things in the future. It's just a few cubs; you definitely won't lose out."

"Slap, slap, slap."

"You're still saying it!"

"Ah~ Stop hitting, it hurts! Stop hitting, I won't say it anymore..."

The night was deep.

Hundreds of aircraft took off from Base No. 1, heading to various parts of Great Xia.

zhi yong ship.

Xiao Weiqing was in his room practicing the Starry Sky Contemplation Method.

In his Sea of Consciousness, a star map in the shape of an Azure Dragon lay across the Void Realm. On the star map, he had already lit up the 23rd star and was moving toward the 24th.

Time passed imperceptibly.

When Xiao Weiqing opened his eyes, the zhi yong ship was already approaching Luo Jiang Academy... Mental Energy: 23.4

...Fast, too fast. Every time he practiced the Starry Sky Contemplation Method, his Mental Energy grew very rapidly, at a speed he could hardly believe.

"Attention all passengers, we have arrived at Luo Jiang Academy!"

"Attention all passengers, we have arrived at Luo Jiang Academy!"

"Attention all passengers, we have arrived at Luo Jiang Academy!"

..."Finally back."

"The academy's air still smells the best."

Everyone walked out of the hatch and, under the cover of night, saw the familiar Luo Jiang Academy. They felt a wave of emotion; they had spent a month in the other world this time.

"Let's go, let's go, hurry back. I haven't had a good night's sleep in a month."

The others agreed.

Xiao Weiqing also felt relieved; he had been highly stressed this past month.

He quickly returned to his Villa, thought of nothing, and fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed. Even if the sky fell, it would have to wait until tomorrow... When Xiao Weiqing opened his eyes again, it was already noon the next day.

Waking up.

There were many unread messages on his Wristband.

Xiao Weiqing washed up quickly, had a full meal at the cafeteria, and headed to the instructors' residential area.

"Teacher, I'm back."

Ning Xing was still puffing on a cigar. "Mhm, it's good that you're back."

"But kid, can you tell me before your next Breakthrough? I was actually the last one to know about you opening your Third Dantian."

Xiao Weiqing chuckled. "Next time for sure."

"Tell me, how was your harvest this time?"

Speaking of the harvest, Xiao Weiqing immediately perked up and couldn't help but say happily, "Teacher, the harvest this time was huge."

Xiao Weiqing reached out, and a blade appeared in his hand.

Ning Xing raised an eyebrow. "A companion weapon?"

"Is this the reward you got for passing the final assessment?"

"Yes, Teacher. This is the companion weapon of a Seventh Realm Expert from when they were alive."

Ning Xing was startled. "Good kid, it's from a Seventh Realm Expert?"

"Yes, that's what the Artificial Intelligence of the ruins said."

Ning Xing nodded.

"From now on, tell others that this is the companion divine weapon of a Sixth Realm Expert."

Xiao Weiqing nodded. "Understood, Teacher."

"Mhm. Although the power of a divine weapon ultimately depends on the user's level of nourishment, we still need to prevent covetousness from those with ill intentions."

"By the way, don't use divine charm treasures to nourish it for now. Although this method is fast, this isn't your original companion weapon. Absorbing too much divine charm won't be good for your future cultivation and will be detrimental to your Second Awakening."

Xiao Weiqing hurriedly asked, "Teacher, what exactly is divine charm?"

Ning Xing took a puff of his cigar. "It's about time I told you about this. divine charm is something invisible and intangible that can only be truly felt after the Second Awakening."

"In fact, the reason you can achieve an extraordinary Awakening is that there is an extra trace of divine charm in your body, though it's almost imperceptible."

"During the Second Awakening, you need to prepare a large amount of divine charm. Whether the Awakening is successful or not depends largely on whether you absorb enough divine charm."

"A true Genius absorbs a massive amount of divine charm during the Second Awakening, and can even further increase their original Extraordinary Talent Rank. This is also the best opportunity to raise your original Extraordinary Talent Rank."

"But for now, you haven't broken the three passes, and the Spiritual Veins in your body haven't formed yet. Absorbing divine charm would be more harmful than beneficial."

Xiao Weiqing fell silent. From the looks of it, the energy he absorbed when fusing with the Samadhi True Fire should have been divine charm. Would there be any issues?

He then asked, "Teacher, can you see how much divine charm is in my body?"

Ning Xing glanced at him. "Almost none. Aside from that trace of divine charm from your initial Awakening, your body is pure. Very good."

Xiao Weiqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the Samadhi True Fire had directly consumed the divine charm and turned it into nourishment.

"Thank you for clarifying, Teacher."

"Mhm, go and Cultivate when you have nothing else to do. Don't waste your talent. If you encounter any problems, come find me."

"Okay."

After Xiao Weiqing left, Ning Xing raised the access level of Xiao Weiqing's information to the highest, with only a few vice principals having the authority to view it.

Leaving Ning Xing's courtyard.

Xiao Weiqing made his way to Qian Yi's residence.

"Come in."

Just as he reached the door, he heard Qian Yi's lazy voice.

Inside the courtyard.

Under the pavilion.

Qian Yi was half-reclining on a lounge chair, her exquisite curves rising and falling.

"Back?"

"Yes, I'm back, Teacher Qian."

"Didn't get the item?"

Xiao Weiqing smiled and said, "I got it. I just went to see my teacher, so I didn't bring it with me."

Hearing this.

Qian Yi immediately sat up straight and began brewing tea, a smile appearing on her face. "Come, come, sit down quickly."

"Weiqing, you've worked hard on this trip to the ruins."

"Teacher Qian, you're so pragmatic. If I said I didn't get it, would you have kicked me out directly?"

Qian Yi finished brewing the tea and handed a cup to Xiao Weiqing.

"How could I? I'm not that kind of person."

"Look, when would it be convenient to give the mind spirit fruit to me?"
