Instructor Ning Yuchan took a little care of Xu Jin. It is said that Father Xu Dajiang knew her, and when he first entered Jinshan Dao Academy, he also paid the silver through Instructor Ning Yuchan. However, this kind of care was limited to occasional guidance during cultivation. She had never sought him out alone. What was she looking for him for late at night?
"You didn't come to the evening class late at night, where did you run off to?"
"Could it be that your Old Dad just gave you some silver today, and you went off to fool around?"
As soon as he entered the room, Xu Jin was stunned.
Usually, Instructor Ning wore a veil outside, and one could only see her long legs, but unfortunately, she had an iron crutch, so it was unclear what she looked like.
But perhaps because she was meeting Xu Jin in her secluded small courtyard today, she wasn't wearing a veil, which allowed Xu Jin to see her clearly.
Her nose bridge was high, her willow eyebrows were slender, subtly resembling fine sword eyebrows, and her lips were red and teeth white. In his previous life, she would also be considered a standard beauty. However, at this moment, her apricot eyes were wide, and her body was leaning forward, making her chest seem unable to be contained, causing Xu Jin to look sideways.
But Xu Jin, knowing this person's temper, didn't dare to look further. He glanced and immediately lowered his head to be reprimanded. After Xu Jin entered the courtyard, Ning Yuchan gave him a thorough scolding, with raised eyebrows and wide eyes, and even raised her iron crutch. Looking at her appearance, if Xu Jin had said yes, there was a real possibility of his legs being broken.
The appearance of Yuluocha.
Xu Jin quickly denied it, saying he was just feeling a bit unwell. But Xu Jin was curious, how did Ning Yuchan know that Xu Dajiang had been here today?
"It's good if you didn't."
"If I find out that you, young man, took the hard-earned money of your Old Dad and your little sister to eat, drink, and be merry, see if I don't break your legs." Ning Yuchan directly raised the iron crutch in her hand.
"Also, even if you have a bit of illness or pain, you must come out and persevere in cultivating."
What sick leave does a man take?
On the path of cultivation, perseverance comes first.
Without perseverance, let alone ordinary people, even geniuses will become useless.
You absolutely cannot give up until the last moment!"
After another round of scolding, Xu Jin quickly nodded, "Thank you, Instructor, for your teaching. I have remembered it."
"Here, take this."
After the scolding, Instructor Ning actually took out a pill bottle and gave it to Xu Jin.
"Instructor, this is?"
"This is a Waking Spirit Pill refined by a Star Alchemist within the Dao Academy. After taking it, it can refresh your mind and to a certain extent enhance the cultivation effect of the morning and evening classes. There are ten pills inside. You can take one before each cultivation session, which will increase the possibility of successful Star Pointing." Instructor Ning said.
Ning Yuchan explained clearly, but Xu Jin didn't dare to accept it on the spot.
Where in this world is there good without reason? Xu Jin knew about the Waking Spirit Pill. Each pill cost five taels of silver. During this Star Gathering Season in the Dao Academy, many wealthy Disciples were using them.
Some who used it did succeed in Star Pointing.
There were also a few who had been using it continuously but had not yet succeeded in Star Pointing.
The key was the value.
Ten pills were fifty taels of silver. This was a huge sum of money. How could he accept it without understanding?
"Instructor, this is?"
Seeing Xu Jin's inquiry, a trace of appreciation flashed in Ning Yuchan's eyes. This child, Xu Jin, was actually quite good, it was just his body...
"Your Old Dad came to see me this afternoon, gave me silver, and asked me to help you find an alchemist to buy them. For the remaining few days of morning and evening classes, take one before each class. It will still be helpful for your Star Pointing."
Xu Jin's heart was filled with shock at this moment.
Fifty taels!
Where did Father Xu Dajiang get so much silver?
For Xu Jin, the family's fields had been sold long ago.
The only three old houses that hadn't been sold weren't worth this much money either.
And, 'pleaded'...
"Why are you so good to me?"
"Cultivate well. Don't waste your Old Dad's painstaking efforts. Strive to succeed in Star Pointing."
After thanking her, Xu Jin left with the Waking Spirit Pill. Besides a bit of heaviness in his heart, there was more fighting spirit.
He must succeed in Star Pointing.
He must live, and he must earn silver.
After returning to the large communal dormitory, Xu Jin lay down, closed his eyes, and cautiously studied the Spirit Fight Platform.
That star lamp seemed a bit strange, but its function was currently unknown.
The wisp of Starlight on the Spirit Fight Platform seemed to be able to be moved by Xu Jin's thoughts, but Xu Jin didn't dare to try it randomly at this moment.
While researching and pondering, Xu Jin also fell into a deep sleep. He had experienced quite a lot this day, and his mind was quite tired after the ups and downs.
The next day, the young men were still woken up by the urgent sound of the clapper and arrived at the morning class square.
Some young men were full of energy, while others felt hopeless about Star Pointing and were somewhat dejected.
"Jin Ge, there are only six days left. Do you think we can succeed in Star Pointing?" Qian Xiaohu, standing beside Xu Jin, had been unsuccessful in Star Pointing for nearly three months and had lost confidence at this point.
"Aren't there still six days?"
"Until the last moment before the Star Mark disappears, never give up on Star Pointing!
As long as you work hard and persevere, you will gain something."
Qian Xiaohu's spirits were lifted, but Xu Jin himself was also a bit apprehensive, wondering if the Waking Spirit Pill would be useful.
"Celestial Phenomenon appears, Canxia Style, rise!"
Instructor Ning's voice rang out. A group of young men moved their steps, spread their hips, and assumed the Canxia Style, but Xu Jin first swallowed a pill.
When Qian Xiaohu and a few young men nearby saw this, no one was surprised.
It was normal for Xu Jin, this sickly fellow, to take medicine.
But today, what Xu Jin ate was the Waking Spirit Pill.
Not only the Waking Spirit Pill, but after swallowing the Waking Spirit Pill, Xu Jin also swallowed a Heart Saving Pill that he usually used for saving his life.
He would try a two-pronged approach.
In an instant, a cool sensation rushed straight to his forehead, like eating mint. Xu Jin felt not only an unprecedented clarity of mind but also a hundredfold increase in spirit, that kind of unprecedented spirit.
This Waking Spirit Pill feels quite potent in its effect.
Xu Jin immediately entered a state of cultivation. With each breath, he envisioned the Star Mark, observing the morning glow surging between heaven and earth being inhaled into his nose and mouth, guiding it towards the Star Mark on his chest.
After three or four breaths, the Star Mark on Xu Jin's chest began to flicker.
This was much faster than before.
The Waking Spirit Pill is really effective.
In less than ten minutes, Xu Jin felt the Star Mark on his chest begin to heat up, and the Star Mark on his chest also started to change from flickering to constantly bright.
Xu Jin was overjoyed.
This was a sign of impending success in Star Pointing.
The Star Mark begins to heat up and then become hot, slowly imprinting onto the skin's texture and even into the bones. The Star Mark will also begin to stay constantly bright.
Usually, as long as the Star Mark remains constantly bright for more than a quarter of an hour, it can be completely solidified onto the chest, and Star Pointing is successful.
The Star Mark on his chest became hotter and hotter, and the time the Star Mark stayed constantly bright quickly lasted for one hundred breaths, two hundred breaths, three hundred breaths.
In the distance, Instructor Ning Yuchan's iron crutch landed silently. She slowly propped herself towards Xu Jin's direction, her eyes also filled with anticipation.
Four hundred breaths, five hundred breaths, six hundred breaths.
The Star Mark on his chest became hotter and hotter, but it also became more and more comfortable, almost melting into his bones.
Xu Jin became more focused.
The hope of succeeding in Star Pointing today was very high.
Especially since, up to this point, Xu Jin had not had an attack.
This might be due to taking that Heart Saving Pill beforehand.
But just at this moment, Xu Jin suddenly felt the heat flow within the Star Mark on his chest strangely flowing outwards, towards the direction of his left chest and heart.
In an instant, his left chest and heart began to ache.
Xu Jin's heart tightened. The Star Mark on his chest, which was originally constantly bright, also suddenly became dim.
Especially the heat flow within this Star Mark, which continuously flowed towards the heart, causing the constantly bright Star Mark to become dimmer and dimmer, while surprisingly starting to flicker again.
Instructor Ning, who was approaching from a distance, suddenly stopped, and helplessness appeared in her eyes.
Is this not going to work again?
"No!"
Under tension, Xu Jin wholeheartedly wanted to circulate the Canxia Style more, to absorb a little more Star Celestial Phenomenon into his body, but the more tense and forceful he was, the worse the effect of absorbing the Star Celestial Phenomenon.
Thump, thump, thump!
Xu Jin's heart suddenly began to pound wildly again, like a drum.
"It's happening again!"
Xu Jin sighed inwardly but did not panic. Instead, with a slight thought, he directly activated the wisp of Starlight floating on the Spirit Fight Platform.
Xu Jin had already tried it last night. This wisp of Starlight from the Spirit Fight Platform could be moved by his thoughts.
In Xu Jin's recent cultivation sensation, this wisp of Starlight was similar in nature to the Star Celestial Phenomenon he had absorbed, just purer and in greater quantity.
In the next instant, this wisp of Starlight from the Spirit Fight Platform was directly guided by Xu Jin into the Star Mark on his chest.
Almost at the same instant, the dimming light of the Star Mark on Xu Jin's chest suddenly became dazzlingly bright, and his chest was burning hot.
Instructor Ning, observing Xu Jin from a distance, even felt her eyes flash from the radiance of the Star Mark.
At the same instant, the filled Star Mark, as if a floodgate had opened, surged out a large stream of Starlight, rushing towards Xu Jin's left chest and heart.
Xu Jin's heart first felt a warmth, then became burning hot, followed by intense pain. After involuntarily letting out a muffled groan of pain, Xu Jin's vision went black, his body swayed, and he fell to the ground unconscious.
But the Star Mark on the chest of Xu Jin, who had fallen unconscious, still remained constantly bright.
"Jin Ge!"
Qian Xiaohu, who was on the side, stopped cultivating and rushed over wanting to feed Xu Jin medicine, but he was stopped by Instructor Ning, who arrived instantly.
"Don't move him. You all continue cultivating."
"Okay."
The group of startled young men also saw the difference at this moment. He was unconscious, but the Star Mark was still constantly bright.
Did he succeed in Star Pointing?
Many people showed envy in their eyes.
But as time passed, after a few hundred breaths, the Star Mark on Xu Jin's chest gradually extinguished, and doubt appeared in everyone's eyes again.
Did he succeed in Star Pointing or not?
Instructor Ning bent down, extended two fingers to feel Xu Jin's neck pulse, and feeling Xu Jin's increasingly strong pulse, joy appeared between her eyebrows.
Whether he succeeded in Star Pointing or not, she couldn't tell by feeling his pulse.
But what she could be sure of was that this morning's class had cured Xu Jin's congenital condition.
She had felt Xu Jin's pulse several times. Although he was a young man, his pulse had always been weak and feeble. It had never been as strong as it was this time.
It seems that the guidance given by that famous doctor to Xu Dajiang was true.
Trying Star Pointing can really cure congenital conditions!
