Chapter 32

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After saying goodbye to Chi Li, Yan Xi packed her things and opened the door!

As soon as she opened the door, an excited figure rushed in.

Yan Xi dodged to the side nimbly, and poor Yan Gu almost fell to the ground again.

But this time, he was not in the mood to pay attention to this. His eyes were so bright that they seemed to be shining, and he could not wait to share his joy.

“Yan Xi, your medicine is really effective! I’ve broken through! Yesterday, I directly broke through from the fourth level of the Body Tempering Realm to the ninth level! I tested my talent again yesterday, and my aptitude went from average to one in a hundred!”

Yan Gu’s face was red with excitement, and his voice trembled. The Yan family’s disciples would undergo a talent test at the ages of three, six, and twelve. They were then divided into different groups based on their aptitude. The division of aptitude, to a certain extent, indicated the highest heights that the cultivator could reach in the future.

In Muyun, most people had an ordinary aptitude. To have an aptitude of one in ten was already considered good, while those who had an aptitude of one in a hundred were considered geniuses that the major families would spend all their resources to cultivate!

Generally speaking, after the age of twelve, one’s aptitude would no longer change. Therefore, he thought that he would be an average joe all his life. Who would have thought that he would become a genius overnight?!

“Boss! From now on, I’m at your service!”

The teenager clenched his fists and made a solemn vow, his voice sonorous and powerful.

Yan Xi got goosebumps from his passionate gaze. She reached out to stop him from pouncing on her and crushing her in his embrace.

In an instant, Yan Gu felt like he was facing a wall and could not move an inch.

At this time, he did not even think about why he was being held back by Yan Xi even though he was already at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm.

Yan Xi’s awesomeness did not need to be explained!

Yan Xi was more concerned about Yan Chushi.

She turned her head and saw Yan Chushi standing beside her. He did not stick to her like he used to. Instead, he stood at the side with a sad expression on his face.

Yan Xi’s heart skipped a beat. “What’s wrong?”

Yan Chushi pursed his lips. “I’m sorry, Xixi… I… I’m still at the first level of the Body Tempering Realm.”

He had soaked in the medicine with Yan Gu, but other than absorbing the liquid and expelling a pile of black impurities, there was no change in his body.

Yan Xi looked at Yan Chushi. She did not know if it was her imagination, but he seemed to have grown a little taller.

“That’s right, Yan Xi. The situation with Yan Chushi is a little strange.” Yan Gu also gradually calmed down from his excitement. “Yesterday, I was in so much pain that I cried for a long time, but he didn’t seem to feel anything. Not only did he not feel the pain, but he also seemed to be enjoying it. And he absorbed it so quickly. It had only been five minutes, and the water had already become clear.”

This time, it was Yan Xi’s turn to be surprised. He had absorbed the medicine in five minutes and did not feel any pain at all! What kind of abnormal physique was this?

This could not possibly be because his foundation was not good. On the contrary, it was because he was too good that the level one Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Potion did not have much of an effect on him.

Yan Xi thought of letting him try the level two Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Potion.

But suddenly, the token at Yan Gu’s waist lit up, and then the family tokens that Yan Xi and Yan Chushi were wearing also flashed.

A vigorous and aged voice sounded from the token. “All the Yan family disciples are to gather at the training grounds in ten minutes!”

“It should be about the Misty Forest.” Yan Xi took back the token. Her black eyes narrowed. Today was the day they had agreed to set off for the Misty Forest with the students of Imperial College.

She placed the token down and patted Yan Chushi’s head. “Chushi, the reason your body hasn’t changed is not that your aptitude is bad. On the contrary, it’s because your aptitude is too good for this medicine.”

Yan Chushi’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“When we return from the Misty Forest, I’ll help you out. Let’s go to the training grounds first.” Yesterday, after she had refined the first two levels of the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Potion, the medicinal herbs required for the level three Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Potion had already appeared in the second chapter of the medical book.

There were a few rare medicinal ingredients for the level three Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Potion, so she wanted to go to the Misty Forest to try her luck.

Yan Chushi nodded obediently and the three of them rushed to the training grounds.

By the time they arrived at the training grounds, most of the family members had already arrived.

The third elder from Yan Sheng’s faction swept his cold gaze across the three of them and loudly rebuked, “Everyone’s here. We were just waiting for the three of you! Trash will always be trash, I see!”

Yan Xi’s eyes flashed icily.

Yan Gu was just about to explain.

However, Yan Xi had already taken a step forward.

A cold glint flickered in her pitch-black eyes as she pointed at the huge sundial on the training grounds. “Elder Hou, has it been more than ten minutes since the family leader’s order was issued?”

Yan Hou’s face was red with anger. He had only wanted to use his status to scold Yan Xi. Who knew that she would be so unruly? She really did not respect him.

“No, it is not.” Facing the huge sundial in the middle of the training grounds, Yan Hou could not say anything that would embarrass him, so he could only grit his teeth and spit out a reply.

“Since we’re not late, then what right do you have to scold us? Is it just because we’re trash?” Yan Xi’s words were sharp. “The family head once set a family rule that all Yan family disciples, regardless of their talent, must be treated equally by the elders. As an elder of the law enforcement hall, you don’t even remember the family rules, so how can you enforce the law fairly?”

“You… You have a sharp tongue!” Yan Hou’s face turned red from anger, and he directly left with a flick of his sleeves!

Yan Gu quietly gave Yan Xi a thumbs up. Yan Xi was probably the only one in the Yan family who could render the sharp-tongued elder speechless.

Yan Xi’s eyes fell on the high platform on the training grounds.

On the stage, Yan Sheng saw that Elder Hou had lost the argument with Yan Xi and his expression was a little ugly. His sharp gaze was like a knife.

Yesterday, he had even come to her courtyard in an aggressive manner to question her about the Green Lotus Pavilion.

Yan Xi stroked her chin. Normally, Yan Sheng should have been angry since he hated her so much. It was not like him to be able to keep it in until now.

That could only mean one thing. The matter was temporarily suppressed.

Yan Xi looked at Yan Zhongshan, who was standing on the high platform with his hands behind his back, and she understood.

On the stage, Yan Zhongshan’s voice was carried around with his Profound Qi.

“This time, we’ll be going deep into the Misty Forest, and our lives might be in danger. The elders and I won’t be looking after everyone all the time. You will have to rely on yourselves!”

As soon as Yan Zhongshan said this, there was a commotion below.

“However, this trip is not a compulsory mission. After entering the Misty Forest, what awaits you may be an opportunity for greatness or the mouth of a beast. The choice is up to you. Those who want to go, stand on the right. Those who don’t want to can stay and guard the family.”
