"Junior Brother Wubing, quick, quick, quick, the pot! I’m starving."
Wei Changkong burst into Fan Wubing’s room early in the morning, his eyes gleaming green.
Fan Wubing sat up in shock,
"Senior Brother Wei? What are you doing here! Aren’t you fifth-term students not participating?"
Wei Changkong said,
"Yes, not participating. I volunteered to apply to the Sect Leader, ca with Elder Lin Xing to protect you all."
"Protect? You’re just craving my cooking!"
"Hey, how can you speak of your senior brother like that!" Wei Changkong held Fan Wubing’s hand, "Junior Brother Wubing, I’ve always treated you well, haven’t I?"
Fan Wubing brushed his hand away,
"Enough with the nonsense. If you want to eat, pay up. You’ve mooched off so many tis before; I didn’t charge you for als, I’m being as generous as I can. You know, those Immortal Chefs outside, just the cooking fee is a big sum, let alone the cost of ingredients."
"Junior Brother Wubing, even for the sake of your Senior Sister Fu Ming, you should at least... give a bite to eat!"
"What relation do you have with my sister to use her na? Does she even know you? Does she know Wei Changkong?"
"This..."
He honestly couldn’t say for sure.
In the Eternal Immortal Sect, Fu Ming might not recognize anyone besides her master and junior brothers on Enlightennt Peak.
Wei Changkong gritted his teeth and said,
"She smiled at once! She must be interested in !"
As Fan Wubing dressed, he said,
"Senior Brother Wei, go back to Gotham, Batman said he won’t beat you anymore."
"Huh? Junior Brother Wubing, if you keep saying things I don’t understand, I’ll assu you’re agreeing to let eat for free."
"I an, you’re a Nascent Soul cultivator, how co you’re so broke you can’t even afford al expenses?"
Wei Changkong awkwardly said,
"Wubing, you know. We Sword Cultivators have strong combat power, but maintaining a flying sword is really expensive. With my earnings in the Eternal Immortal Sect, plus what my family gave , I can barely sustain it. Last month, my flying sword broke through, leaving completely drained, it’s impossible for to afford anything."
"Explain how it drained you completely, no, wait... explain how the flying sword broke through."
In Fan Wubing’s Purple Mansion, the Flying Sword Peach Blossom was still cocooning, who knows when it will break through.
Wei Changkong said,
"A flying sword is different from external artifacts; it’s connected to one’s spirit, like a part of oneself. So, nurturing a flying sword is like nurturing the body. The level of the flying sword usually corresponds to the Sword Cultivator’s realm, but it can be slightly higher or lower. My flying sword, well, it’s higher than my cultivation. Last month, it broke through to the late stage of Nascent Soul, but I’m just at the middle stage of Nascent Soul."
Wei Changkong looked wistful,
"I’m just a re middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivator; how can I afford to maintain a late-stage Nascent Soul flying sword? While taking on commissions, I also worked over ten part-ti jobs in various places, being a bodyguard, a sparring partner... just to maintain it. I almost resorted to taking out high-interest loans from the Heaven and Earth Bank."
"...Don’t try to sell your sob story, I’m not buying it!"
Wei Changkong suddenly hugged Fan Wubing’s leg,
"Junior Brother, please help your senior brother out. Just hold on for six months! Just six months! After six months, when I graduate from the Eternal Immortal Sect, inherit my family’s fortune, I’ll repay you a hundredfold! My family has mines, my family has mines!"
At this mont, Luo Qingyao ca in from outside, and upon seeing this scene, she was instantly furious,
"Oh, you... what’s your na again? Waking up the senior brother is my exclusive duty! Don’t you dare fight with over this!"
Wei Changkong’s mouth twitched,
"Junior Sister Qingyao, it’s been three months, haven’t you rembered my na yet! I’m Wei Changkong!"
Luo Qingyao ignored him and said to Fan Wubing,
"Senior Brother, quickly lie down and sleep well, let wake you up once more. Co on, I’m the one who wakes you up every day, and we’re just one day short of a complete month! If it breaks today, it’ll make feel awful!"
Fan Wubing dragged himself out of the room,
"Two lunatics!"
As soon as he stepped out, he ran into Fu Manman coming out from the opposite room. Seeing each of his legs with soone clinging on, she was taken aback,
"What are you all playing?"
For so reason, Luo Qingyao beca serious upon seeing Fu Manman. Not only serious, but also calm and elegant,
"Good morning, Senior Sister Manman."
Fu Manman looked at her curiously,
"You can just call by my na. We’re about the sa age."
"Senior Sister Manman joined the Eternal Immortal Sect earlier than , so she is indeed my senior sister."
Fu Manman suddenly stopped speaking, stood still, and looked at Fan Wubing for a while, pursing her lips as she walked away.
Fan Wubing felt a bit puzzled, thinking, she used to be so lively, why is she now so quiet?
Did she beco dull from cultivation?
Luo Qingyao whispered,
"Senior Brother, you should be careful with that Senior Sister Manman."
"Why?"
"After boarding the ship, she often hides in the distance, secretly watching you. She’s definitely up to sothing!"
"I didn’t even notice, how do you know?"
"Hmph! Anyone who has their eyes on Senior Brother, I can spot imdiately! So, you have to be careful of her!"
Fan Wubing gave her a sidelong glance,
"Do you have the right to talk about others?"
...
Fan Wubing always had the habit of cooking right after waking up, and he happened to want to break in a set of supre mystic cooking utensils. So, early in the morning, he busied himself in the kitchen of the immortal boat.
Everyone on the immortal boat was from the Eternal Immortal Sect, so naturally, he couldn’t just cook for himself, and decided to cook for everyone.
Wei Changkong, wanting Fan Wubing to feed him for free, insisted on helping with the fire. Luo Qingyao was naturally unwilling. After so argunt, they decided to take turns, each cooking one al.
The ingredients were brought from the Nourishing Spirit Peak. Ever since the grand opening ceremony’s banquet, Nourishing Spirit Peak had beco like a second ho to Fan Wubing, allowing him to freely take various ingredients.
Indeed, the set of supre mystic cookware crafted by Elder Zhao Yangxia was exceptional! During cooking, it could even actively draw in innate Dao charm, infusing it into the ingredients.
In this way, one elder, five disciples, plus a freeloader, spent three days on the immortal boat.
Most of the ti, the disciples stayed in their own rooms. With the opening of Peach Blossom Spring approaching, everyone wanted to be in their best state to face it.
[Fan Wubing]
[Age: 14]
[Life: 5117/5117 points]
[Cultivation: None]
[Cultivation Techniques: "Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill", "Devouring Stars and Chewing the Moon", "Blood Burning Skill"]
[Physique: Heavenly Defect Body...]
[Talents: "Fate Should Not Be Severed", "Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill", "Tongue’s Desire"]
"5117 blood points, that’s quite a lot!"
During this ti, with all the supplentary immortal food, treating Gu Lan, battling the Lake God, absorbing the Incense Fire God’s radiance... added quite a bit of blood.
With the "Blood Burning Skill", an increase in blood is roughly equivalent to an increase in cultivation. Although the "Blood Burning Skill" is of low quality and its duration is limited, the resulting cultivation is genuine and uncompromised.
With 3000 blood points, the converted cultivation is equivalent to the Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishnt.
At 4000 blood points, the converted cultivation was already the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishnt.
But now with 5117 blood points, the converted cultivation still hasn’t broken through Foundation Establishnt to reach the Golden Core realm.
"It seems the gap between Foundation Establishnt and Golden Core is quite large. Even bigger than the gap between Qi Refining and Golden Core. I wonder how much blood is needed to reach the Golden Core level."
Since he didn’t progress layer by layer, Fan Wubing didn’t have a direct experience of the difference between the Peak of Foundation Establishnt and the Golden Core realm. For him, calculating through blood points is simpler.
Originally, he could use the Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill to sense the blood and qi of a Golden Core realm cultivator and compare it to himself to estimate the gap.
Among the five disciples, one-phase Luo Qingyao and two-phase Ai Yinian are both at the Foundation Establishnt Stage, while four-phase Jiang Maodian is already at the Late Stage of Golden Core, which is quite far from the First-Layer Golden Core.
Only Fu Manman, at the Second-Layer Golden Core, is more suitable.
However, she seems to be quite sensitive to qi. When Fan Wubing tried to probe her with the Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill, he was imdiately discovered.
Although she didn’t show any sign of resistance.
But Fan Wubing still felt a little embarrassed, not daring to feel it carefully, since this kind of thing isn’t exactly aboveboard. Misinterpreting could lead to awkwardness.
Anyway, they’ll et other cultivators at Peach Blossom Spring, so there’s no rush.
In the evening,
Fu Manman sat in her room, sowhat troubled by the day’s events.
In the afternoon, was Fan Wubing trying to sense my qi? Maybe he rembered who I am... But I didn’t resist him, so why did he stop? Could it be that the changes in my qi over the past ten years were too much, and he thought he got it wrong?
Maybe I should just take the initiative to acknowledge him.
But if he doesn’t rember , wouldn’t it be really awkward? If he considers a weirdo, it would be even more painful...
"Sigh... it would be great if interacting with people were as easy as cultivation... How does Junior Sister Qingyao manage to be so cheerful, boldly talking to everyone? They must think I’m cold. But I really want to talk to everyone properly too..."
