This child was just playing a bet, but why did it end up involving the three of us adults.
The eldest of the three transmission elders, who was in his forties, was actually from the Zhu family's main branch. That's why, upon hearing about the pills and talismans in Zhu Lingwu's hands, he tried to persuade Zhu Junyu.
However, the transmission elder in charge ultimately felt that this matter was too absurd. It was inappropriate for children to make such a big bet.
But Zhu Lingwu and Zhu Junyu insisted on the bet, both feeling certain of their victory and unwilling to miss such an opportunity to gain an advantage.
Among them, only Zhu Lingwu was genuinely happy inside, while the three on Zhu Junyu's side were merely pleased on the surface.
In the end, the leading transmission elder couldn't argue with them and reluctantly agreed. He then had Zhu Lingwu and Zhu Junyu sign a written agreement and had the two children press their fingerprints on it.
Afterward, the transmission elder put on a serious face and said that since they were making a bet, the stakes must be handed over to them for safekeeping.
In fact, he was thinking that by taking the stakes, he could then talk to the old ancestors behind the children. If they agreed, he would truly keep the items in the scripture hall.
Thus, this farce finally came to an end. When Zhu Junyu handed over the Qi Condensation Pill, he was really reluctant, while Zhu Lingwu generously handed over the two bottles of pills and three Yellow Crane talismans, not really valuing them much.
The three on Zhu Junyu's side then left, with Zhu Junyu looking back every few steps. He was already starting to regret it, but his two companions kept reassuring him that they would definitely win.
Seeing Zhu Junyu and his group leave, the three transmission elders dispersed the family servants who had gathered to watch the commotion. They were about to return to their rooms to rest when they noticed Zhu Lingwu still lingering.
"Hey, kid, what are you still doing here? You've caused such a fuss today, go home and wait for your parents to scold you! Hurry up and go, hurry up and go!"
The leading transmission elder looked at Zhu Lingwu and felt that this boy was too mischievous and troublesome, even causing a stir at the Transmission Hall.
"Uncle Grandfathers, since you're all here, I have something to ask! Yes, I've started cultivating Qi, but the spiritual energy I've cultivated seems a bit strange, and I'm a bit uneasy, so I came to ask the three of you!"
Zhu Lingwu, seeing Zhu Junyu walk away, patted the bet agreement hidden in his chest and then turned to speak to the three transmission elders.
The three transmission elders then looked at Zhu Lingwu with a strange expression. They all thought that just a moment ago, this boy had said he hadn't started cultivating Qi, but now he was saying he had already cultivated spiritual energy.
Could this boy have already reached the first level of Qi Cultivation? No wonder he dared to challenge those three foolish boys. But that doesn't make sense; this boy isn't foolish.
"Yuanfang, what do you think?"
The leading transmission elder felt that this little boy was up to something and suddenly became worried about Zhu Junyu. He asked his main branch cousin who had just tried to persuade him.
This transmission elder named Yuanfang couldn't help but stare at Zhu Lingwu and muttered, "Hey, little boy, didn't you just say you hadn't started cultivating Qi? Now you're saying you've already cultivated spiritual energy? Could it be that you've already reached the first level of Qi Cultivation? That doesn't make sense. It was only a few days ago that you asked for the Five Elements Return to Origin Technique. With your talent, how could you have cultivated anything in just a few days? Don't lie, little boy!"
"Hehe, I'm not lying, Uncle Grandfathers. Although my talent is poor and I haven't reached the first level of Qi Cultivation yet, I'm smart. I've found a way to cultivate, and it's quite efficient. But I'm worried that the spiritual energy I've cultivated might have some problems, so I came to ask the three of you!"
Zhu Lingwu didn't hide much, but he deliberately put on a proud expression when speaking to the three transmission elders.
He wanted to appear clever but naive, so as not to seem too calculating and avoid arousing suspicion. This would make him seem more like a child.
"Ah, so this little nephew had this plan all along. No wonder you dared to make a bet. You must have been confident from the start! Oh, that Junyu boy is definitely going to lose. You, little nephew, are quite clever for your age! Hmm, I think this bet shouldn't count!"
Another transmission elder seemed to understand Zhu Lingwu's intentions and deliberately said this. He had been silent all along and intended to stay out of it.
"Hmph, the bet is on me, and I've already pressed my fingerprint. If anyone says it doesn't count, I'll go to the clan leader for a judgment. After all, the three of you are witnesses!"
Zhu Lingwu wasn't about to give up easily. He had already considered the Qi Condensation Pill as his own. With the bet agreement in hand, this wasn't just a child's game; he could seek justice anywhere.
"Hmm, this little boy had it all planned out. Well, well, we can't really interfere. When the time comes, you'll have to talk to the elders in your branch. Now, let's talk about your problem. So, you used some method to help you cultivate, but the spiritual energy you've cultivated has some issues. Hmm, what method did you use? Don't tell me you used some evil or heretical means!"
The leading transmission elder looked at Zhu Lingwu with some concern, worried that he might have used some dark methods that could harm his body.
Zhu Lingwu didn't hide anything and explained how he used the five Xuanming Ghost Heads to help attract the heavenly and earthly qi for cultivation. He also mentioned his body's special nature, as they were all family, and there was no point in hiding it.
The three transmission elders were truly surprised by Zhu Lingwu's method. They then asked Zhu Lingwu to release the Xuanming Ghost Heads, and they couldn't help but covet these ghostly magical tools.
The three founding elders at the Foundation Establishment stage had looked down on such ghostly magical tools, but these three Qi Cultivation stage cultivators were truly envious. However, they didn't feel right taking something from a child, especially since it was related to Zhu Lingwu's cultivation.
The leading transmission elder then reached out and pressed his hand on Zhu Lingwu's pulse, probing the innate spiritual energy in his body.
After the probe, he frowned slightly and then had the other two also examine Zhu Lingwu's innate spiritual energy. After they finished, the three of them couldn't help but discuss in low voices for a while...
