Chapter 11

"Twenty years old!" Bu Zheng immediately replied.

"You can take a nap first. I'll wake you up when it's time to leave," Xiu Ying said directly. This dream was too beautiful; to have such power at twenty years old was rare even among Xuan-level forces.

"Oh, then I'll take a nap..." Bu Zheng didn't catch the meaning behind Xiu Ying's words and simply fell asleep on one side. He had been gathering herbs for several days to earn some extra money for protection.

"..." Xiu Ying fell silent.

What a fool!

Zhao Yuer felt extremely comfortable. It turned out this fool had taken the dream seriously. This was good; she wouldn't have to be bothered in the future.

Although she had eavesdropped on Bu Zheng's conversation, it was because she didn't want to be outdone by others. Now that it was proven to be a non-existent matter, her mood naturally improved, and she even mocked herself for caring so much.

In her heart, Bu Zheng was just a bothersome minor character. She didn't want to have any connection with him; she only hoped he wouldn't bother her. She didn't care how much he had loved her in the past; there were too many such people, and there would be more in the future. One more or one less didn't matter.

If she felt disappointed because Bu Zheng suddenly stopped loving her, she would feel too lowly. This was impossible.

Those love strategies that ignore people are based on the assumption that the other person might care about you. If the other person doesn't even think of you, then ignoring them is the best thing for them.

If it were a game where the one who pays attention loses, you would be very happy because the other person can play with you for a lifetime!

Unless one day, you can make them look up to you...

"Yuer, you seem to be in a good mood?" the young man who had been scolded earlier said.

"Yes, I'm happy thinking about joining the sect soon. Are you going to Lingyun Sect? Are you confident?" Zhao Yuer asked.

"Of course, I'm already at the third level of the Pulse Realm!" The young man proudly raised his head.

Although the third level of the Pulse Realm isn't much, and it's possible to be defeated by someone not even at the Pulse Realm, in the Nine Pulse Realms, the earlier levels are easier to surpass. Power doesn't equal actual combat ability, but it is an important indicator of cultivation talent.

This young man is also fifteen years old. Reaching the Pulse Realm at this age is already considered a small genius, and reaching the third level is even better.

Most people present haven't even entered the Pulse Realm. The Pulse Realm isn't the beginning; it's the start of cultivating two meridians.

If what this young man said is true, he should have no problem entering one of the four major sects. Anyone who can enter the Pulse Realm by fifteen will be taken in by the four major sects. One more or one less doesn't matter; they might even produce a high-level expert.

As for whether they might misjudge someone, it doesn't matter. Potential is hard to gauge. At the beginning, they are all outer sect disciples. Only those who meet the standards can become ordinary disciples. Raising a potentially talented outer sect disciple isn't a big deal.

"But I'm not sure if I can enter. I'm still a bit short of entering the Pulse Realm," Zhao Yuer shook her head, sighing, looking pitiful.

"Don't worry, you're already very good. Compared to those people, you're much better." The young man glanced at some people nearby, his eyes full of disdain, and didn't even look at Bu Zheng.

Some people wanted to argue, but thinking about the young man's capital, they didn't say anything!

"Everyone is here, let's go!" After a while, Big Hai appeared. He was a middle-aged man, tall and muscular, his body seemingly roaring with strength.

"Bu Zheng, wake up, it's time to leave." Xiu Ying woke Bu Zheng up, looking at the drool at the corner of his mouth, she really wanted to kick him.

"Ah, are we leaving? Is Big Hai here?" Bu Zheng woke up quickly, looked around, and saw Big Hai.

"Wipe your drool, you really slept well." Xiu Ying said irritably, reminding Bu Zheng to mind his image.

"I'm a bit tired. Oh, that's a flying boat. I can continue sleeping then." Bu Zheng looked ahead and saw a flying boat he had always wanted to ride.

A flying boat is a living array device among array devices, which are a type of array application. This involves a lot of array knowledge, which Bu Zheng couldn't understand. He only knew that flying boats were rare, and he didn't expect to ride one this time.

Soon, he understood why there was a flying boat.

"Listen up, you brats. This is Senior Li from Butterfly Valley, who is passing by. This flying boat belongs to Senior Li. Thank Senior Li." Big Hai's voice rang out, and next to him stood a somewhat unkempt middle-aged man who looked older than Big Hai.

"Thank you, Senior Li!" The group of brats from the village immediately shouted. Big Hai's meaning was clear; getting closer to Senior Li might help them get into Butterfly Valley.

Butterfly Valley is a special sect among the four major sects, focusing on the creation of array devices. The reason they have flying boats is because of this.

Although this flying boat is a low-level one, slow and with a low flight altitude, it is still a flying boat, something ordinary people can't own. Even a Huang-level force might not have one.

"Xiu Ying, if you can create array devices, is it very profitable?" Bu Zheng, on the flying boat, stared blankly for a long time before asking a question.

"Of course, whether it's a living array device or a combat or defensive array device, as long as it's an array device, there will be buyers. Special types depend on their effects. The most sought-after are weapons, array weapons, which are essential for martial artists. The higher the realm, the more they need a good array weapon." Xiu Ying said, then immediately asked, "You're not thinking of going to Butterfly Valley to learn this, are you?"

"Uh-huh, it's very profitable." Bu Zheng's eyes sparkled, as if seeing the shadow of coins.

"You... forget it. The basic requirement for creating array devices is to understand array formations. Don't even talk about whether you can understand them; you can't even read." Xiu Ying replied directly. No one would be willing to teach someone a subject word by word, and no one has the energy for it.

Bu Zheng's illiteracy meant he couldn't achieve anything in this field unless someone could become his "book."

Regarding Bu Zheng's illiteracy, she found it very puzzling. She knew Bu Zheng's memory was terrifying; he could remember things after hearing them once. When explaining the herbal compendium to him in the past, he remembered the names and properties of the herbs after hearing them once and could even master some of their properties, even formulating some medicines on his own.

Logically, such a memory shouldn't forget characters. Why couldn't he remember them? More strangely, every time he saw characters, his mind would become confused, and he would even get a headache if he saw too many.

This was the reason he couldn't read, but she couldn't understand why this was the case!
