Fortunately, I took a look at this Black Yellow Sutra. This isn't any weaker than the Yin-Yang harmony balance. To think that it could even interact with the Earth Emperor's Book!
After this realization, Ling Yun felt fearful after feeling pleased. At the same time, he had a lot of doubts.
What kind of family was the Ling Family? Why would it have such an unbelievable technique? And the inheritance of the family was actually the mystical Divine Willow Wood.
Currently, Ling Yun had already taken back that Divine Willow Wood from the mansion at Qingshui Wharf and put it in his spatial ring.
When Ling Yun saw the piece of Divine Willow Wood that Qin Qiuyue gave him, he realized that it was also a piece of dead wood that looked exactly the same as the piece of wood that Cui Lao gave him. Even the length and width of the wood was the same. The only difference was that it didn't have the blood irrigation of the Ling Family and also lacked the Black Yellow True Qi as nutrients. Because of this, this wood was completely black and didn't have any bud spouting out. It was just like a fire stick.
Of course, this problem wasn't a problem in front of Ling Yun. With the experience from before, he simply needed to follow the same thing he did in the past. That night, he found a remote mountain to irrigate the willow wood using his blood. At the same time, he also used the Black Yellow True Qi that he cultivated to provide nutrients to the willow wood.
This wasn't all, Ling Yun even executed the Supreme Azure Emperor Art to help this Divine Willow Wood grow out leaves…
The Divine Willow Wood required so much more spiritual energy, and naturally, it needed the help of the Earth Emperor's Book. The situation was exactly the same as the first time.
A leaf branch finally grew out from the second Divine Willow Wood as there were countless buds growing on it. The Wood Spiritual Energy was flourishing, and Ling Yun could even sense the interaction between the two pieces of Divine Willow Wood. This got him really excited and surprised him.
With the impressive help of the Earth Emperor's Book, Ling Yun managed to cultivate the Supreme Azure Emperor Art to the third minor realm of the fifth cycle. He was finally able to promote the growth of vegetation on a large scale as well as shorten the growth period.
With the constant supply of Wood Spiritual Energy from these two pieces of Divine Willow Wood, there was no longer a need for Ling Yun to search so hard for Wood Spiritual Energy anymore. Among the five types of elemental spiritual energy, he had a guaranteed supply of Wood Spiritual Energy.
With the support of the Wood Spiritual Energy, Ling Yun would be able to cultivate his Supreme Azure Emperor Art at an incredible pace.
Because of this incident, Ling Yun could finally sense a slight movement of the gate of his Physique Tempering Stage Nine. This resulted in an indescribable surprise for him.
Qi Cultivation Stage was just around the corner!
There was still a week before the college entrance examinations. After the final sprint reached its peak, people finally started to relax.
When the strings of an instrument became too tight, they would break off. When things reached an extreme, they could only move in the opposite direction. Every student who had participated in the college entrance examinations would have had this experience.
Therefore, during the last week, even though everyone was still studying hard, there was no longer that tension in school. Instead of pressuring the students further, there was more relaxed supervision of their revision.
The last week was actually the week to adjust a person's mental state. For this week, memorizing a few more words or doing an extra practice paper wouldn't be as important as adjusting one's own mental state.
That was to say, at this stage, it didn't matter where one studied as long as they were able to adjust their mental state properly. Regardless of whether one studied at home, in class, in their hostels, or whether one studied at all, the school wouldn't be bothered.
Anyway, the college entrance examinations were just around the corner.
On Sunday, Ling Yun brought Ning Lingyu, who was also back in school revising, back to Qingshui Wharf Mansion Number Nine.
"Come and try this on to see if it fit you!"
The moment Ling Yun returned, Aunt Mei held onto two sets of clothing to let Ling Yun try them on.
This wasn't any ordinary clothing, it was the clothes made from the Golden Black Devilish Silk that Cui Lao brought. After Ling Yun completed the cutting of the cloth, Aunt Mei took the initiative to help him make nocturnal clothing.
A shirt, shorts, a singlet, underwear, a headdress, and even a face flannel. Besides shoes and socks, there were two complete sets of nocturnal clothing.
Ling Yun held onto the nocturnal clothing, flashed into the house, and flashed back out wearing it.
"Wow… My brother is so handsome!" Ning Lingyu's dreamy eyes instantly turned into heart shapes, and she started blushing.
"Little brat, you really look like…" Qin Dongxue stared at the clothing on Ling Yun as her entire face turned red too.
"It's a perfect fit! This kid really looks good in any kind of shirt!"
Ling Yun stood there in his nocturnal clothing, and he looked so dashing that Aunt Mei couldn't help but smile and compliment.
"I believe it's because of Aunt Mei's excellent craftsmanship…" Ling Yun chuckled.
It was indeed true that Aunt Mei was excellent at needlework, as Aunt Mei's authentic traditions were her culinary skills and needlework.
"Aunt Mei, could you also help Aunty and Lingyu make two sets each? Oh yes, and also two sets for Xian Er and yourself…"
There was plenty of the Golden Black Devilish Silk left. It was enough to produce another ten sets of clothing, and he was satisfied with the two sets that he had. Therefore, he had no use for the rest.
When Aunt Mei saw that Ling Yun thought of her, she was indescribably happy. She simply said, "Alright, alright, alright, I will make some for all of them, but there's no need for me to have any. It'll be a waste for me to wear it…"
"Aunty doesn't really like black clothes…" Qin Dongxue loved the color white, even if it was night time.
Ling Yun laughed as he replied, "You can wear it to protect yourself first. After my college entrance examinations, I'll look for a white Golden Black Devilish Silkworm for you…"
Qin Dongxue smiled widely. "Little brat, you can't lie…"
In the end, Qin Dongxue only needed one set, whereas both Ning Lingyu and Bai Xianer got two sets each.
Currently, Qin Dongxue was still at the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Four. As for Ning Lingyu, with the aid of the Stellar Condensation Technique and Omnipotent Water Control Technique, she had already broken through and stabilized herself at Houtian Realm Level Four. With Ling Yun and Qin Dongxue's guidance, her foundation was exceedingly solid.
As for Bai Xianer's realm, even Ling Yun didn't know, let alone Bai Xianer herself.
In the following week, Ling Yun only stayed in school until Wednesday. From Wednesday onwards, he felt that there was no longer a need for him to attend school.
In the five days before the college entrance examinations, Ling Yun spent his spare time visiting people when he wasn't cultivating.
He brought a basketball-sized Imperial green jade to the Lord of Jade and asked him to get the best engraving master to manufacture over ten sets of jewelry, which included bracelets, rings, necklaces, and earrings. Those that needed to be made in a pair were made in pairs, while those that needed embedding were embedded. He went on to give them out as presents.
The first house that he visited was undoubtedly Tang Meng's house.
Grandpa Tang, Tang Guangqi, was old and sick. Even though he wasn't deaf or blind, his body had three severe illnesses. Naturally, Ling Yun wasn't going to shirk his responsibility, and he healed Grandpa Tang completely.
Shang Wenhui was completely dumbfounded by the two sets of jewelry that Ling Yun gifted her. She almost disregarded her own son completely as she made over twenty dishes for the night and constantly filled up Ling Yun's bowl with meat.
This made Tang Guangqi, Tang Tianhao, and Tang Meng speechless. On that night, Tang Meng even constantly reminded Shang Wenhui on at least ten occasions, saying, "Mother, I'm your biological son!"
Following that, Ling Yun visited Li Yifeng, going there straight from Tang Meng's house. In order to express his gratitude, Ling Yun gifted Li Yifeng's wife a set of jewelry and even helped Li Yifeng adjust his entire body.
After this was the five old men that Miracle Doctor Xue was on extremely close terms with. Ling Yun visited each one of them but didn't give out the jewelry to them. When Ling Yun entered each of their houses, the five elders were riddled with all sorts of illnesses. When Ling Yun walked out of their houses, all kinds of illnesses were cured.
Ling Yun even visited his old neighbor, Li Hongmei. He gifted a house to Li Hongmei and an additional two million dollars, she was incredibly touched.
Even though Ling Yun didn't mean to publicize this, some of the neighbors on Linjiang Road found out about it and were incredibly envious of Li Hongmei. They were all regretting the fact that they didn't form close relations with Qin Qiuyue from the very beginning…
After that, Ling Yun went to Liu Li's house to give Liu Li's grandmother, Li Shi, a set of jewelry. Of course, he gifted a set to Liu Li as well. Additionally, he even left a fist-sized piece of Imperial green jade for the eight months old baby in Liu Li's stomach, as well as an extra twenty million dollar check.
Tang Meng was worried that Grandma Li didn't know the value of these items and would get cheated again. Therefore, he instantly told Liu Li and her family that everything Ling Yun gave them was worth two hundred million, which shocked the entire family of three.
"Child, are you going to leave Qingshui City? Are you bidding goodbye to us?" Grandma Li saw through Ling Yun as she asked him directly.
"After the college entrance examinations, I'll be leaving Qingshui for a while. I will basically be going on summer vacation…" Ling Yun smiled as he answered.
"Are you not going to come back?"
"Grandma Li is overthinking. My roots are in Qingshui, so I'll definitely be back here. You shouldn't listen to Tang Meng's nonsense because the jewelry cannot be spent like money. Just that twenty million dollars should be enough for your daily expenses. When I'm not in Qingshui, I will feel better knowing that your family is able to live well…"
Ling Yun explained with a sweet smile. Liu Li's eyes were getting redder by the second. Tears were on the verge of streaming down her cheeks, but Ling Yun pretended as though he didn't see anything.
The last house that Ling Yun visited was the Zhuang's. Zhuang Tiande's entire family of three were all at home, and Zhuang Meina was unable to contain her joy. The thing that made her the happiest was that there was a mixture of examination venues for arts and sciences. She and Ling Yun would be taking the examinations in the same examination room.
Ling Yun gave Zhao Bomin two sets of jewelry and also gave one set to Zhuang Meina. After that, he inquired about Zhuang Meifeng.
There was still no news of Zhuang Meifeng, so the entire family fell silent.
"You don't have to worry about the Sun Family because there won't be a Sun Family very soon."
This was the last line Ling Yun left for Zhuang Tiande. Zhuang Tiande was astonished at how casually Ling Yun said it.
On June 5th, the entire cohort was on holiday to prepare for the college entrance examinations, which were the day after tomorrow.
Throughout the half-month of examination preparations, the weather in Qingshui City hadn't been the best. There were dark clouds almost every day. Even though such weather was problematic, the weather had always been maintained at around eighty-six degrees Fahrenheit. It wasn't considered too humid, which was advantageous to the students taking the examinations.
Time passed quickly, and it was one day until the college entrance examinations.
It was June 6th.
