Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Restless Mind and Wandering Intentions
"Excuse , brother, do you happen to know what’s peculiar here?" Ye Jingyu walked over to Li Jizhou, respectfully cupping his hands and bowing.
Yang Yutong reluctantly put down the jade slip but hurriedly followed behind Ye Jingyu.
It wasn’t until she reached Li Jizhou’s side that she peeked out half her head from behind Ye Jingyu, looking oddly at Li Jizhou.
While everyone else frantically searched for cultivation techniques and secret skills to morize, the handso and graceful man before her remained composed, diligently copying down notes.
Hearing Ye Jingyu’s respectful inquiry, Li Jizhou’s hand did not stop writing as he calmly replied, "Calm your mind!"
"Hua~" These two words seed to possess endless magical power, causing Ye Jingyu to break out in a cold sweat instantly.
He suddenly recalled everything that happened after entering here.
It seed that the events that happened in the plaza earlier were inexplicably weakened in mory after entering here, leading to an unconscious tendency to forget them.
And at this mont, Li Jizhou’s two words instantly made Ye Jingyu think of Xu Jiuge’s words and the events that happened in the plaza.
He quickly changed his expression and bowed to Li Jizhou, "Thank you for the guidance, brother!"
Then, he hurriedly pulled Yang Yutong and sat on a low couch beside Li Jizhou.
"Rember, we’re currently in an examination, and the first stage is calming the mind.
Don’t let external influences disturb you, don’t let desire attack you; those so-called cultivation techniques and secret skills on the jade slips are just obstacles for our state of mind.
Subdue the restless mind, calmly copy down notes!" Ye Jingyu took a deep breath and solemnly warned Yang Yutong.
"But these top-grade cultivation techniques..." Yang Yutong looked longingly at the records in the jade slip, feeling extrely reluctant.
"Don’t think about them anymore; consider them all as illusions!" After saying this solemnly, Ye Jingyu mimicked Li Jizhou and began focusing on copying.
"Oh~" Yang Yutong pouted and picked up a pen to start copying, though with so small thoughts in mind.
Surely, I can copy while morizing, right?
Gradually, ti passed by.
In the blink of an eye, a day and night had gone by.
"Done, done, I’ve morized this top-grade cultivation technique completely! Hahaha~"
"I hope there’s more ti so I can morize a few more books!"
Throughout the period, people kept expressing excited ecstasy.
However, during this period, so noticed the peculiarity of Li Jizhou, Ye Jingyu, and their group, montarily ca to their senses, and quickly returned to the low couches with jade slips, copying while morizing.
But while copying, they involuntarily paused, pondering and comprehending the content of the techniques.
"Huh, what’s wrong? Why is it that although I’ve morized this cultivation technique, I can’t recall any of it in my mind?"
"What? After morizing the entire technique, it’s gone from mory?"
"I clearly morized... morized... how many did I morize? Why is there nothing in my mind, as if the mories have been erased!"
Until noon, soone suddenly discovered the anomaly, causing a chain reaction.
"No, no, why is this happening? My top-grade ’Thick Earth Skill’! I’m not reconciled; I’ll morize it again..."
So fell into madness, more frantically morizing techniques.
anwhile, so noticed the peculiarity, saw soone sitting down to copy, and briefly regained consciousness, copying down notes while pondering.
Days passed one by one, and before anyone knew it, a month had quietly slipped away.
For those small cultivators in the early stage of Qi Cultivation, a month is the limit for fasting.
Because Li Jizhou possessed profound and long-lasting Eternal Spring Magical Power, he didn’t feel hungry even at this point.
But most were already anxiously hungry.
At this point, of the sixty-seven who entered the first stage of the examination for calming the mind, forty-one sat before the low couch, so like Li Jizhou calmly copying notes, while others copied and tried to morize in vain.
The remaining twenty-six had fallen into madness, still frantically searching for jade slips under the bookshelves with reddened eyes.
"How much longer do we have to keep copying? I’m out of strength!"
"When is Xu Jiuge coming?"
"I’ve found that there’s definitely sothing wrong with these techniques; they can’t be morized. After rembering the entire technique, it will disappear completely."
"These cultivation techniques and secret skills are part of the examination; stop thinking about it and calmly copy down notes."
...
"Brother, your ntal fortitude is remarkable, I admire you!" At this mont, Ye Jingyu, who had been diligently copying, couldn’t hold on anymore, and weakly glanced at Li Jizhou, who remained focused on copying.
Li Jizhou didn’t speak, only nodded slightly.
In Ye Jingyu’s heart at this mont, Li Jizhou had already beco a stellar figure.
Yang Yutong, with her low cultivation level, had long been exhausted, no longer thinking about morizing techniques, only copying out of habit, but the words under her pen had long beco chaotic and unrecognizable.
At this mont, she looked at Li Jizhou’s profile, her eyes full of surprise and admiration.
"Clang~"
Just then, a bell sounded.
Following that, the main door of the hall opened wide.
Rows of low-tier puppets dressed in Thunder Fla Sect warrior outfits entered, holding golden platters and jade butterflies, each filled with a feast of delicacies, filing in.
In the end, they stood in a row, without further action.
"Spirit Beast at!"
"This is... Stead Fla Carving!"
"Oh my, Stir-fried Five-color Snake!"
"These are all g1 Spirit Beast at; that Fla Carving is a Tier One Advanced Level Demon Beast that even Foundation Establishnt stage figures would avoid when alone!"
Unexpectedly, those in the hall almost had no qualifications to enjoy spirit beast at of this level.
At this mont, looking at them, coupled with extre hunger, nearly all couldn’t help wanting to step forward and feast.
Eating a al of this level of spirit beast at would cause a minor improvent in their realm and condense the magical power in their dantian.
However, those who had gone through the empty experience with the techniques had gained vague insight into at least one aspect of Xu Jiuge’s ntal fortitude examination.
So they temporarily suppressed their inner impulses.
Yet, after the puppets entered, they didn’t move anymore, just standing there while the spirit beast at remained exposed before everyone.
The aroma of the at filled the air, tempting mouths and tongues.
"Gulp~" More people swallowed forcefully.
"There should be no issue; eating to gain strength for copying is prepared for us!"
Finally, soone couldn’t resist anymore, stepped forward, and tore off a piece of neck from the Golden Jade Mouse-headed Duck, devouring it ravenously.
Seeing that person ate the entire duck neck without any anomalies, so couldn’t restrain themselves and went forward to eat.
"Brother Wing..." Yang Yutong looked expectantly at Ye Jingyu.
Ye Jingyu turned to glance at Li Jizhou, seeing him steady as a mountain, he resolutely said:
"Calmly copy notes!"
"Gulp~" Yang Yutong strained to swallow, forcing herself to stop looking at the spirit beast at.
Then she looked at Li Jizhou again, pouting secretly.
In the end, of the forty-one originally seated on the low couch, twenty-eight couldn’t resist the allure of the spirit beast at, rushing forward to crazily grab food from the puppets’ plates.
Strangely, as they ate, the spirit beast at on the plates increased, to the point where everyone had a bulging stomach, yet the at on the plates didn’t diminish, and they... still didn’t stop...
Until...
"Boom~"
A muffled sound, the stomach of the first person who grabbed the food suddenly burst like a balloon.
Mixed internal organs flowed all over the ground,
he looked at his stomach in horror,
but his hands involuntarily continued to stuff spirit beast at into his mouth from the plates.
With the first, there ca a second, just like those still crazily morizing jade slips from the bookshelves.
Ultimately, all twenty-eight suffered ruptured stomachs yet continued grabbing food persistently.
