Chapter 28

Zhang Xiaopang, on the other hand, would come at noon. There was no help for it; young people tend to be lazy, and although he went to bed early, he woke up late, so he could only come at noon. At first, he just wanted to solve the chess problem, and the little fatty still didn't believe that Wang Meng could outplay him. But as he watched, he became engrossed.

Each time he finished watching the chess game, he would have many insights during his cultivation, and he unknowingly made great progress.

As for Wang Meng, even if he were mentioned, probably few people would remember him.

Under Wang Meng's careful tending, the spirit fields grew very well. Wang Meng even created a simple nourishing technique to nurture life. If it were just to enhance his strength, there were many methods for evil cultivators, but the results were clear to Wang Meng. Now, he had to understand the profound mysteries of righteous cultivation, starting from the simplest.

Cultivation required persistence and passion, and Wang Meng was the most passionate about it.

The spirit stone was also used up by Wang Meng. The first level of the Bursting Technique was completed, and breaking through the first level gave Wang Meng a pleasant surprise. The higher the difficulty of breaking through, the stronger the life mark would be. No wonder Wang Meng's efforts in cultivation had been ineffective; his life mark was too profound. Simply put, if such a person were born into a cultivation family with ample resources, his future would be limitless. But if he were alone, he might really die young.

The spirit valley matured every six months, but Wang Meng didn't plan to wait that long. After calculating, if he had a spirit spring and added some spells, the first batch could mature in another half a month.

Ma Le was dozing off out of boredom. Since Zhao Guang left, the Thunderlight Pavilion had become much quieter. Not to mention the main hall tasks, even the Thunderlight Pavilion's own tasks were rarely taken. Only some older senior brothers and sisters would occasionally come by, but they often shook their heads and sighed. Simple tasks had no value, and for more difficult ones, it was hard to find suitable teammates, and going on solo adventures was not worth it.

In some powerful branches, tasks were snatched up. If you arrived late, they would quickly be taken by others, especially the main hall tasks, which had excellent rewards. The more difficult the task, the richer the reward.

"Little junior sister, we meet again." Wang Meng winked at Xiao Tian, who was slacking off. The little girl immediately blushed, quickly stood up, and straightened her hair, bowing repeatedly.

"Sorry, sorry, ah, it's you, Senior Brother Wang!" Xiao Tian's big eyes lit up with a smile, revealing a pair of beautiful little fangs, which was quite adorable.

"Hehe, Junior Sister still remembers me. I should thank you for the Wind Cloud Technique you gave me last time; it's very useful."

Wang Meng said.

Xiao Tian's face turned red, and she waved her hands, "Senior Brother, don't make fun of me. I made another one later, but it... didn't work."

"Is that so? It might have been a temporary mistake. It's inevitable for any talisman cultivator to make mistakes. At least the one you gave me is good."

Saying this, he handed the Wind Cloud Technique to Xiao Tian, "Don't believe me? Take a look yourself."

Xiao Tian took the talisman and was stunned, "Ah, did I make this???"

"Hehe, could it be that I made it?"

"Wow, I'm so amazing!" Xiao Tian jumped up in excitement, drawing the attention of a few girls nearby.

Xiao Tian quickly lowered her voice, blushing, "I've been scolded by my senior sisters these past few days. Thank you, I've regained my confidence."

Wang Meng smiled, "Thank you."

After Wang Meng left, a few girls immediately surrounded Xiao Tian.

"Xiao Tian, are you crazy? How can you let someone buy on credit? He doesn't seem to have much ability. Are you going to pay for it yourself?"

"Xiao Tian, come clean. Don't tell me you have a crush on that honest guy?" A short-haired girl said, immediately igniting everyone's curiosity.

"Definitely! Otherwise, why would our Xiao Tian pay for him!"

"Strange, you ignore the senior brother when he comes to you, but you're so nice to this guy. Do you like wild flavors?"

Xiao Tian, surrounded in the center, blushed. She had transferred to the Thunderlight Pavilion last year, a talisman cultivator from the Talisman Sect, specializing in talismans. Her gentle personality quickly won everyone's acceptance, and her tenth-layer life mark cultivation was quite good among the disciples, indicating a solid foundation.

Disciples of the Holy Hall, if not wealthy, had to earn contributions to exchange for the techniques they learned. This not only strengthened the Holy Hall but also prevented laziness, making the disciples work harder in their cultivation.

Male disciples generally did hard labor, like Wang Meng planting spirit fields, while female disciples had better luck, working part-time at places like the Thunderlight Pavilion or the Sword Pavilion. Ma Tian'er could come to the Thunderlight Pavilion thanks to Zhao Guang's approval. At the time, it caused a stir, with everyone thinking the senior brother had a crush on her, but it turned out to be a lot of noise and little rain.

"Senior Sister, please don't tease me. I just..."

"Explain it, and it's a cover-up. Cover-up, and it's the truth. Tian'er, just admit it. You fancy him, it's like he's been blessed for eight lifetimes!"

An older senior sister said, probably feeling that the little girl was about to find a hole to hide in.

Generally, male cultivators should be more talented than female cultivators to be a good match. The gap between them was too large, one with a tenth-layer life mark and the other with less than a fifth-layer life mark. Only Tian'er's character would be so naive.

"Come on, tell us, how did you meet this guy?"

"Right, right!" The other female cultivators also widened their eyes, wondering if the guy had used sweet words to deceive her.

Xiao Tian was a bit naive, thinking everyone was good. If a man deliberately flattered her, she could easily be deceived, her innate desire to protect the weak being triggered.

Ma Tian'er rubbed her hands, lowered her head, and blushed terribly, finally mustering the courage, "Actually... we've only met twice."

The senior sisters were almost ready to spit blood. The leading senior sister, in a purple robe, touched Ma Tian'er's forehead, "Xiao Tian, are you running a fever? You fancy someone after only two meetings? Who saw him clearly? Is he handsome?"

"He's okay, I didn't pay much attention."

"Average, I don't think he matches our Xiao Tian."

"Senior Sisters, please spare me."

"Alright, then tell us, what do you like about him, and we'll let you off!"

Ma Tian'er was stunned, "Actually, I don't know. I just really like his eyes."
