Xu Chunniang listened to the whole process and was very happy for Da Wu when she learned that he had entered the inner sect and was even accepted as a disciple by the Jindan Elder of the Weapon Refining Peak.
As for the other two inner sect geniuses, she just secretly memorized their names and ignored them.
Suddenly, the discussions around seemed to have been paused, and it became eerily quiet.
Xu Chunniang seemed to notice something, so she looked up to the sky and saw an old man sitting on a huge gourd rushing towards her.
The old man was dressed in a golden Taoist robe and had an immortal look. One could tell at first glance that he was an immortal.
He reached the top of the lecture hall and did not come down. He still sat on the gourd and glanced at the whole audience calmly.
Everyone felt that this gaze was as heavy as a thousand pounds, pressing them so hard that they dared not even breathe loudly, and they were all on high alert.
The old man in the golden robe retracted his gaze, and his steady voice spread out in all directions.
"I am a Jindan cultivator from the Equipment Refining Peak. Today I will only explain issues related to equipment refining. Next, I will explain the "Analysis of Level 1 Equipment Refining"..."
It turned out that Elder Jindan gave a lecture every half month, and the elder would lecture on the scriptures of the peak from which he came.
The one who came today was the elder from the Equipment Refining Peak, and the scripture he was talking about was naturally related to equipment refining.
Xu Chunniang was bewildered by what she heard. Although this Jindan elder's "Analysis of the First-Level Equipment Refining" was very good, the key point was that she couldn't understand it at all.
She looked around carefully and saw that all the disciples were listening attentively. Even those who didn't understand put on an attitude of listening seriously. She had no choice but to pretend to be serious as well.
Xu Chunniang began to think secretly in her heart that what the Jindan Elder said seemed to be too profound and far beyond what she could understand right now. Instead of spending time listening to these, she might as well go back and continue trying to harmonize the spiritual energy.
She had previously felt sorry for having missed two lectures given by the elder, but now it seemed that there was nothing to regret.
However, Elder Jindan had already started preaching, so she could not leave without permission. She could only wait until the elder finished speaking before returning to the dormitory.
Two hours later, after Elder Jindan finished his lecture, he sat on the gourd and left.
Looking at the black dot in the sky that was getting smaller and smaller, Xu Chunniang breathed a sigh of relief and hurried away.
These two hours were simply torture for her. Not only did she not understand, but she also had to pretend that she understood...
However, this trip was not completely fruitless. At least for a long time, she would not think of coming to the Lecture Pavilion again.
As we walked towards the dormitory, the place became more and more remote, and the back half of the road was completely deserted.
If Xu Chunniang hadn't been holding the map of Xiaoyao Sect in her hand, she would have almost thought that she had walked out of the sect.
After walking for three hours, Xu Chunniang finally reached her destination, where she saw a dilapidated wooden house.
It was unknown how long it had been since anyone had lived in this cabin. There was a big hole in the roof and no windows. It was even more shabby than her home in Xujia Village!
Is this habitable
Xu Chunniang was very skeptical, she even thought about just living in the lecture hall.
However, when she thought that it would take another three hours to walk back, she finally suppressed the thought.
Besides, although the lecture room can be lived in, it is not feasible to live there for a long time.
Xu Chunniang pushed the door open resignedly, but before she could exert any force, the door fell down, raising a huge cloud of dust.
Looking inside, there was nothing inside except a bed and a table.
But even these two pieces of furniture were in tatters. Xu Chunniang had no doubt that they would break into pieces if she exerted a little force.
Well, it seems she'd better sleep on the floor. She's already very familiar with it these days.
Xu Chunniang had a bitter face. Fortunately, the disciples' uniforms distributed by the sect could automatically prevent dust and keep out the cold. Otherwise, she would have to sleep on the floor every day, and her small body would definitely not be able to bear it.
Walking out of the house, Xu Chunniang looked around and decided to find a water source first.
Although she didn't need to drink water because of the fasting pills, she still needed water to clean the house. Although she insisted on using water to cleanse her body every day while living in the teaching hall these days, she hadn't taken a bath for a long time.
But at a glance, where is there any water on this bare hilltop
Xu Chunniang shook her head helplessly. It seemed that these six spirit stones were not easy to save.
It would be best to find water and clean up the house before dark.
Fortunately, although Xu Chunniang has not yet been able to draw qi into her body, her daily meditation practice is not without effect. At least she can clearly feel that her physical strength has improved a lot, and she doesn't feel very tired after walking for such a long time.
After a short rest, Xu Chunniang opened the map and began to look for areas nearby that might have water sources.
There was no need to pay attention to the back mountain. She had not forgotten what Manager Zhang had said. If she really encountered a monster, with her current abilities, she would definitely be doomed to fail.
After identifying several areas with possible water sources, Xu Chunniang set out. There was still an hour before dark, so she hoped to find a water source as soon as possible.
Xu Chunniang grew up in a farming family and was used to going up mountains and down rivers. If it were any other eight-year-old child, they wouldn't even dare to run around in the mountains.
However, Xu Chunniang's luck was really bad. She had been traveling as fast as she could, but there was no water in the places she went to.
It was getting dark. If we didn’t go back now, we would have to sleep outdoors in the mountains tonight.
However, thinking of the dilapidated old wooden house on the top of the mountain, Xu Chunniang shook her head speechlessly. Living in that house, she would have to worry about whether the back wall would collapse while she was sleeping at night. It would be better to sleep in the mountains.
Now there was only one possible water source left. Xu Chunniang spread out the map and looked at the place she had circled. It was very close to the back mountain.
Xu Chunniang closed the map and prepared to go again tomorrow. She decided to find a cave to spend the night.
According to the terrain shown on the map, the area to the south is full of mountains, and we should be able to find a cave there.
As expected, the terrain became complicated not long after walking south. Fortunately, the moon rose at this time, and the faint moonlight illuminated the way ahead.
However, the mountain road was steep and difficult to walk on. Even with the moonlight, there were still many inconveniences. In addition, Xu Chunniang was young and weak, and she had worked hard all day. She slipped and fell down due to weightlessness!
Xu Chunniang was shocked. After she reacted, she realized that she had fallen into a crevice in the mountain. She didn't expect that the crevice was so deep. If she fell from such a height, she would probably die.
Is she going to die unjustly before she even embarks on the path of cultivation
