—That’s a pretty accurate guess.
Pei Jing was sleepless in the well. He was horrified when he thought of the snake in the same well as him. It would only take a few minutes to kill it, but Pei Jing didn't want to look at it or touch it. He leaned against the wall of the well, looking at the sky, thinking, encountering such a thing on the first day of pretending to be a new disciple, did it foreshadow his rough life in the future
He was really bored, so he simply closed his eyes and regulated his breathing.
The day finally dawned.
Yinghui Peak is named Yinghui Peak because it is the first mountain in the whole sky to greet the sunrise. A line of red light illuminates the sky and the earth. The bright red glow looks as gorgeous as a painting spread out with rouge from the narrow angle of the well.
Pei Jing was bored all night and finally he could wake up Chu Junyu with a clear conscience.
He turned sideways and tugged at Chu Junyu's sleeve, pulling it several times: "Wake up, wake up, it's dawn, don't sleep anymore."
Chu Junyu slowly opened his eyes and looked at Pei Jing calmly. His eyes were clear without any confusion, as if he had not fallen asleep at all.
Pei Jing was stunned: "Did you wake up early?"
Chu Junyu sat up: "I was woken up by you."
Pei Jing: "Nonsense, I didn't quarrel at all."
Chu Junyu pursed his lips and said nothing.
When daybreak came, the scene inside the well could be seen clearly.
Pei Jing tilted his head, his sight paused, and he was stunned to find that the coiled venomous snake in the corner of the well had died at some unknown time. Inch by inch, its body twisted, and it seemed to have experienced great pain when it died, struggling on the ground. The snake's head turned up, and its pupils were blood red.
But he was afraid of snakes, and the dead snakes gave him a stronger stimulation. His scalp was numb, and Pei Jing wanted to vomit after just one look. He subconsciously grabbed Chu Junyu's sleeve and hid behind him.
Chu Junyu lowered his head and glanced at his hand on his sleeve, then shifted his gaze to see the tragically dead venomous snake.
Pei Jing was truly devastated: "Why can they die in such a disgusting way?"
Chu Junyu said, "Why are you afraid of even dead snakes?"
Pei Jing choked and lied: "I'm not afraid, I just feel sick."
Chu Junyu smiled and said, "Really?"
"yes."
Yinghui Peak has strict rules. New disciples must stay here for a full year before they can join other peaks. There will be roll call during morning classes. If the steward finds out that the two of them are missing, he will definitely send someone to look for them. It is easy for a Jindan cultivator to find two Qi Refining Stage disciples in a mountain.
Now they just have to wait for someone to come.
Pei Jing sat cross-legged, counting on his fingers, and said, "Look at us, you saved me once, I saved you once, and we spent the whole night together in this damn place last night. If we can't say we are brothers, we are brothers who have shared life and death together."
"Last time I told you my place of origin, but you just gave me a name. Now shouldn't you be honest?"
"Where are you from? You are probably not from Canghua."
When the young man in brown smiled, his eyes seemed to fall into the endless rays of light.
Chu Junyu was stunned. After looking at him for a second, he turned his head away and said, "A place you have never been to."
Pei Jing thought to himself, where in the world have I not been? He continued, "Tell me, maybe I know the place."
Chu Junyu ignored him.
—You’re just trying to please a cold butt
Pei Jing said, "Wow, you know how to chat - I bet with your personality, you can't make a close friend in the whole sect except me."
Chu Junyu looked indifferent, "No need."
Pei Jing was very confident: "Forget it, it's okay, having me is enough for you."
"Oh."
Not long after, Taoist Huang Fu came with his men and rescued them out of the well.
The disciples who tricked Chu Junyu into going down the well and stole the rope yesterday were also dragged out. They were trembling with fear, huddled aside, and dared not say a word.
Taoist Huang Fu looked gloomy and questioned Pei Jing: "There is a rule in Yinghui Peak that you are not allowed to go out at night - Chu Junyu was framed, and what about you, are you taking a walk outside?"
Pei Jing said truthfully: "... I just lost my way and can't find my way back. There's nothing else to it."
Taoist Huang Fu was furious: "Can't you take your tricks on me seriously?"
Pei Jing: "... I really didn't fool you."
He was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. His impression of Pei Jing was deepened once again. "You are still lost even after growing up. I see that you are so stupid that I won't arrange other things for you. Just water the spiritual garden."
After saying that, he turned around and glared at Pei Jing, waving his sleeves: "Disperse."
The monks who came to watch immediately burst into laughter and dispersed. A male monk's voice could be heard faintly, gloating over the misfortune: "If you ask me, this is not the chosen one, he is just an unlucky guy. We go hunt monsters, and he goes to farm, hahahaha."
Disciples of Yinghui Peak are assigned tasks every month. They don't need to go to the Consulate Hall to get them. It's considered homework and also an opportunity to exercise. Now he is on the edge of the outer peak, living in the worst dormitory and doing the most tiring and useless work.
Pei Jing and the others finished their walk and muttered, "This Taoist Huang Fu is too vindictive. Wasn't it just that he tore a piece of paper yesterday? Is there any need to target him so much?"
Chu Junyu was the last to leave. He was also rescued from the well, but there was no sign of embarrassment on him. He walked in the morning light without saying a word, with an aura that kept strangers away.
Pei Jing didn't have time to lament his fate of farming, and hurriedly trotted to catch up with Chu Junyu, "Hey, wait for me."
Chu Junyu pretended not to hear.
Pei Jing quickened his pace and caught up with him. He said as he walked, "What do you mean you went out in the middle of the night because you were framed? In my opinion, the peak master saw that you have good qualifications and didn't want to punish you. He thought I was hopeless, so he let me go to farm."
The more I think about it, the more this seems to be the case.
"It's not fair. It's really not fair."
Chu Junyu said casually: "Then go and kill him."
Pei Jing: “Ah?”
Chu Junyu's face was as white as cold jade, and his gaze was as cold as the first snow. He said, "I will give you fairness."
Pei Jingxin was shocked: This kid is simply amazing, his values are so twisted.
Pei Jing taught him: "... ... We should not do such things as betraying our teacher and ancestors. Don't even think about it. This is a serious crime in Yunxiao."
Chu Junyu smiled: "Big crime?"
Pei Jing nodded: "The first rule of Yunxiao Sect is that you cannot kill your fellow disciples, let alone your teacher." He added: "In fact, we don't have to solve problems in such a bloody way. Believe it or not, I will soon make Taoist Huang Fu look at me with new eyes."
Chu Junyu's smile was ambiguous: "With your superb farming skills?"
Pei Jing ignored his ridicule and said, "No, just wait and see."
The morning classes at Yinghui Peak now teach knowledge about spiritual roots, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, the five elements of heaven and earth, and the source of all things. The book also records that the mutated water spiritual root is ice, the mutated wood spiritual root is wind, and the mutated fire spiritual root is thunder.
Among the five spiritual roots, a single spiritual root is the best, as it can absorb spiritual energy in the largest range for cultivation. Among the mixed spiritual roots, the five spiritual roots are the worst.
To be able to enter the Yunxiao realm, at the very least one must have three spiritual roots, so when everyone heard this, they all started to check their own spiritual roots.
Pei Jing has set a goal of having three spiritual roots for himself, but he hasn’t decided which three they are yet.
