Chapter 6: Zhang Weiyun

In the morning, it started drizzling.

Xu Fan equipped an air barrier that was specially used to prevent rain as he rushed towards the Beginner Valley of the Heavenly Imperial Sect. That was where the new disciples studied.

In the Heavenly Imperial Sect, all disciples who were in the early stages of the Qi Refinement Realm were all arranged in a huge valley. Every year, thousands of disciples were recruited.

In a valley deep in the mountain, a huge city appeared in Xu Fan’s eyes. There were not only new disciples, but also ordinary people who served the sect and cultivators who had no hope of advancing.

Every time Xu Fan saw this huge city wall, he would sigh.

“What’s the use of such a tall city wall?”

At the city gate, Xu Fan took out his token and entered the city. Then, he walked towards the place that was assigned to the new disciples. After living here for three years, Xu Fan was already extremely familiar with this city.

“Hey, isn’t this Little Brother Xu? Are you back to see Little Yun?”

A middle-aged uncle stopped Xu Fan and turned around.

An awkward yet polite smile appeared on Xu Fan’s face.

“Uncle Zhang, long time no see. You’re getting more energetic.”

Looking at the person in front of him, Xu Fan thought of the little loli who kept insisting on marrying him. At that time, he also found it fun, so he agreed.

“That’s great. From now on, I’m your husband. I’ll go and give your father a betrothal gift later.”

It was originally a joke, but in the end, it was heard by the father who came to find the little girl. Then, Xu Fan had a father-in-law.

“Let’s not talk about whether you are mentally stable. Give me the betrothal gift first. Little Yun has been clamoring to see you recently.”

“You’ll probably be able to see Little Yun in the outer sect in a while.”

As the middle-aged man spoke, he took out a paper crane and formed a hand seal.

“Uncle Zhang, don’t inform Little Yun. I’ll leave after my lecture. You know that I can’t stay here for long.” Xu Fan hurriedly stopped the middle-aged man when he took out the paper crane.

“It’s too late,” said the uncle.

The paper crane had already flown far away.

“A man must keep his word. Besides, Aunt Lin and I are very satisfied with you.”

Xu Fan was not used to the uncle’s sweet smile. He thought, “Shouldn’t you be angry when I said those words to your daughter back then? Why did you look at me like I am your son-in-law?”

“Alright, that’s enough. I still have to water the spirit field over there.”

The middle-aged man patted Xu Fan’s shoulder and walked out of the city.

“Eh, are you really so careless with your daughter’s marriage?” Xu Fan muttered as he watched the uncle’s departing figure.

When Xu Fan rushed to the school, he realized that all the students were already there. More than a hundred 10-year-old children were staring at him.

“Are there so many disciples walking the path of cultivation this year?” Xu Fan asked the old professor who was leading the way.

“This year, many battle geniuses appeared in the sect’s Battle Hall. It’s already a bit overblown. Thus, this year, the sect will vigorously develop talents in alchemy and cultivation,” said the old professor slowly.

“Is this macro control?” Xu Fan joked.

With that, Xu Fan walked in. Today was his first lesson. He would teach two lessons a day for a total of three days.

In class, Xu Fan looked at these pairs of innocent eyes and felt a little emotional. He recalled the scene when he first entered the Heavenly Imperial Sect.

“I’m the teacher who is going to teach you the Little Spirit Rain Technique today.”

As Xu Fan spoke, he cast a light screen at the wall behind him.

The secrets and execution steps of the Little Spirit Rain Technique appeared on the light screen.

Then, another light screen shot out, and on it was a portrait of a human. The lifelike human meridians appeared within the portrait.

“Since you are able to attend this class, you should know the basics. You have also broken through to Level-1 of the Qi Refinement Stage.”

“Next, I’ll tell you what you should pay attention to when you use the essence of the Little Spirit Rain Technique and the hand seals.”

“The speed and the degree at which you channel the spiritual power from within your body have a very important relationship with the speed at which you form hand seals.”

“However, you will not be able to succeed just by forming seals while channeling your spiritual energy.”

Following Xu Fan’s explanation, the eyes of those new disciples began to light up.

“A teacher that can actually teach has finally arrived.” This was the thought of all the students in the academy.

Xu Fan obtained this knowledge by himself when he was learning the Little Spirit Rain Technique. At that time, the teacher who taught the class would only tell the students to look at the Little Spirit Rain Technique jade slip more often. Otherwise, one would have to use the Little Spirit Rain Technique a few more times for the success rate to be higher.

The old professor who was listening outside the classroom nodded his head in satisfaction. Someone had explained such a simple spell in detail.

After the lecture, the next batch of disciples was already waiting outside.

“Goodbye, teacher.”

All the disciples stood up and bowed to Xu Fan.

When Xu Fan saw this, he felt a strange sense of pleasure in his heart.

“I’m not done teaching yet. Come out with me.” As Xu Fan spoke, he led all the new disciples outside the classroom.

At this moment, the drizzle had stopped, and the sun peeked through the gaps in the clouds.

“I’ll cast the Little Spirit Rain Technique in slow motion. Watch carefully.”

As Xu Fan spoke, his entire body lit up. He used the Light Illusion Technique to cover his entire body, displaying the meridians that had to be circulated when executing the Little Spirit Rain Technique needed.

A four-meter tall illusory figure appeared. The human-shaped illusory figure slowly formed a seal with its hands in coordination with the demonstration diagram, which showed the movements of the tendons on the surface of the body.

Following that, the most proper Little Spirit Rain Technique was formed.

“If you can’t learn this, then you should give up on the path of spell techniques.”

After saying that, Xu Fan brought the new batch of disciples to start the second lesson.

After two lessons, Xu Fan was about to leave the city when he was hugged by a bright-eyed, pretty girl in a beige floral dress.

“Darling, I’ve finally found you.” A cute voice sounded.

Xu Fan awkwardly wanted to push this little girl away, but this little girl was surprisingly strong, so he gave up struggling.

“Little Yun, let go of me. I was just joking with you back then,” said Xu Fan helplessly.

“It’s not a joke. According to the customs of our village, since we’ve exchanged love tokens, we’re husband and wife for life.”

Zhang Weiyun took out a Hello Kitty pendant and showed it to Xu Fan.

“Darling, look. This is your token of love.”

“Isn’t this what I gave you back then? This isn’t a love token.” Xu Fan grinned.

“I don’t care. You are my husband.”

“…”

In the end, Xu Fan spent quite a bit of effort to get rid of Zhang Weiyun. Then, he hurried towards Taixue Peak, where he still had lessons to attend.

“If I had encountered something like this in my previous life, I would have died a beautiful death.”

“Now, sigh, let’s forget about love. My life is destined to be a tragedy.”

After obtaining such a weird system, he would never think about having a partner for the rest of his life.

After he finished listening to the afternoon class at Taixue Peak, Xu Fan returned to his small mountain.

“In another seven to eight days, I can harvest these spiritual rice.”

“With the Spirit Stones, I can start my own path of alchemy. I’m really looking forward to it,” said Xu Fan as he looked at the field of rice in front of the door.
