Chapter 66

Today, the fight that broke out on the street wasn't too large, but it wasn't small either. However, as the number of injured increased, it ended up being unresolved, just like every other time.

As night fell, for many, the day's studies and cultivation came to an end, and it was time to relax and rest. Many students would sneak out of the academy at this time to find some fun in the market. Fighting with students from the academy across the street was also one of the pleasures for many students. Thus, after a big fight during the day, there were two more small-scale conflicts on the street at night. The gatekeepers of both academies were dozing, and they didn't even bother to watch the commotion.

Lu Ping and his three companions, however, remained focused on their cultivation. They only took a short break for dinner, and the arrival of night did not stop them. It wasn't until Chu Min called a halt that the day's cultivation came to a temporary end.

Lu Ping helped Su Tang and Mo Lin settle down to rest. Both looked fine, especially Su Tang, who fell asleep quickly and slept soundly with a smile on her face.

Even though she had lost four senses, she still felt very secure and grounded, because the most important things to her were always there.

Xifan's condition, however, was completely unreadable. Su Tang and Mo Lin could at least convey something through their expressions, but Xifan couldn't. His expression had remained the same since he entered the state. Unless someone had a mind-communication ability, no one could convey any information to him. Had he stopped cultivating to rest? Was he encountering difficulties and feeling anxious? Was he still working hard with hope?

No one knew, and it was impossible to tell.

Lu Ping couldn't tell either. He looked at Chu Min, who understood his concern but could only shake her head; she couldn't tell either.

The night passed, and the first day of cultivation was over.

For many, it was just an ordinary day.

According to incomplete statistics on the continent, the average human lifespan is about 113 years, or 41,245 days. One day is just one in forty thousand.

But for Xifan, this day was one-third of his life.

Because he only had three days, and if he couldn't break through and connect within those three days, he would die!

When he woke up in the morning, Lu Ping specifically came to check on Xifan's condition. Although he knew it wouldn't be obvious, perhaps Xifan had already succeeded and could wake up?

But no.

Xifan's face was calm and peaceful, so calm that Lu Ping couldn't help but check his breathing.

"He's still alive," Chu Min's voice came from behind.

Lu Ping felt a bit relieved.

"Your perception is really poor," she then said bluntly. For cultivators, checking if someone was breathing didn't require touching; there were many ways to sense it from a distance.

"I was just confirming," Lu Ping explained. His perception wasn't very sensitive, but it wasn't as bad as Chu Min said.

Chu Min knew this, so she didn't respond. She was drinking, and as soon as dawn broke, she had already started.

Lu Ping bought breakfast and helped Su Tang and Mo Lin eat. Mo Lin was particularly happy; for him, with his枢之魄 (Pivot Spirit), it was quite enjoyable, and he savored every bite. For Su Tang, however, even the most delicious food was now tasteless. She ate quickly and then started cultivating again. In just one day, her movements had become smoother and more natural, clearly indicating that her control over the力之魄 (Force Spirit) had improved, and her sense of touch and control had become more acute.

Lu Ping, however, seemed to have made no progress. He only made the pile of fragments even smaller, and the subtle changes that occurred when he listened to music or Wen Yan's words did not reappear.

He was inevitably a bit disappointed, but he didn't lose heart. He moved a stool to sit in front of the pile of fragments, ready to start his new day.

"You have made progress, but your perception is so poor that you can't even notice it," Chu Min suddenly said to him.

"Really!" Lu Ping was delighted. The situation wasn't as bad as he thought, which lifted his spirits, and he quickly immersed himself in the new day.

"This kid is really simple, so easy to fool," Wen Yan, who had wandered into the forest early in the morning and overheard Chu Min's words to Lu Ping, boldly approached Chu Min and said. She was only a little older than Lu Ping but spoke to him like an elder, as if this would bring her closer to Chu Min.

Chu Min glanced at her, her expression unchanged: "Your perception isn't much better than his."

"What do you mean?" Wen Yan asked.

"I didn't lie to him; he has indeed made progress," Chu Min said.

Wen Yan was taken aback. She hadn't sensed anything and thought that the fragments Lu Ping had created showed no progress. Chu Min's words seemed like a kind and encouraging lie, but it turned out to be her own assumption.

Chu Min's face turned red for a moment, but after a while, she mustered the courage.

"Teacher Chu Min, can you give me some pointers on my cultivation?" she asked.

She had interacted with all the mentors and even the dean at the academy, but she had learned little new from them. Now, she discovered that this woman, whom everyone had ignored and despised, was such a powerful existence, and her bold training methods inspired Wen Yan to seek guidance.

"You?" Chu Min glanced at her again, her expression unchanged. "Staying out of trouble is the best thing you can do."

"I..." Wen Yan was speechless, her face turning red again. She liked to join in and watch the commotion, which was well-known at the Tianzhao Academy. This drunk woman, who seemed to have no connection with them, knew her flaw. If she devoted all the time and energy she spent on this to cultivation, she would definitely improve. Wen Yan understood this, but it was her personality. Changing her personality to become stronger, would she still be herself?

This was a question Wen Yan had to answer herself; no one could help her.

Wen Yan sighed and then looked at Xifan: "How is he?"

"Only he knows," Chu Min said.

"You can't communicate with him either?" Wen Yan asked.

"My精之魄 (Essence Spirit) is quite ordinary," Chu Min said.

"But you are guiding his Essence Spirit to break through and connect?" Wen Yan asked.

"I'm not guiding; I just gave them a method, and everyone has to rely on themselves," Chu Min said coolly.

As she spoke, her head tilted unnaturally, and her gaze fixed on the treetops in the southwest corner.

What was there?

Wen Yan involuntarily followed Chu Min's gaze and looked at the treetops, but there was nothing except the trembling leaves from the wind.

"Take care of them," Chu Min suddenly said, and she walked in that direction.

"Where are you going?" Wen Yan was puzzled, but when she turned her gaze, she only saw a figure darting away. She quickly followed, but the forest was already empty.

Where did she go?

Wen Yan couldn't find Chu Min's trace. The treetops still swayed in the wind, as if nothing had happened.
