Chapter 640: The Musings at the College Entrance Examinations (1)

Mansion Number One at Qingxi Villa District.

“So weird. It has been raining for more than half a month, so why did it turn sunny once the college entrance examinations arrived?”

Qin Dongxue became hot and sweaty after breakfast. She couldn’t help but stare at the glare of the golden rays in the distance.

“Second Missy, as the saying goes, the month of June is akin to the temper of a child. It changes as it likes. I’ll draw the curtain if you feel it’s too bright for you…” Aunt Mei said to Qin Dongxue as she cleaned the table. She knew that Qin Dongxue hated hot days.

“I’m fine, but we have two people at home going for the college entrance examinations…”

Qin Dongxue picked up the responsibility of caring for Ling Yun and Ning Lingyu in Qin Qiuyue’s absence. It was her elder sister’s wish for both of them to pass the exams and be eligible for university.

Whether or not they attended university was another matter altogether.

The venue of the college entrance examinations was in Qingshui City. Qin Dongxue and Aunt Mei had moved to Mansion Number One the day before in order not to disturb Ling Yun and Ning Lingyu.

Qingshui Wharf was more than thirty kilometers away from Qingshui City. It was really too far.

Under the poisonous sun at the corner of the courtyard, Ling Yun squatted by his Shichiyou herb, carefully collecting the liquidized spiritual energy that was released into the jade box. This was the sixth box of liquidized spiritual energy.

Ling Yun placed the seventh jade box with a spirit gathering formation carved on it beside the Shichiyou herb. He would return to collect it tomorrow.

“It seems like I’ll be able to get more than a dozen boxes of liquidized spiritual energy. That’s so much more than I thought initially!” Ling Yun exclaimed.

A Shichiyou herb had seven grasses, and each grass had seven leaves. They absorbed the essence of the sun during the day until yellow-brown spots appeared on each blade of grass.

That was why he transplanted the Shichiyou herb to the sunniest patch in his courtyard.

It had been more than two months since he discovered the Shichiyou herb. They were maturing with the approach of the Dragon Boat Festival.

This Shichiyou herb’s forty-nine leaves had five yellow-brown spots on them. They would have matured if it wasn’t for the gloomy rainy days of the past month.

Ling Yun had decided that if the gloomy weather continued, he would use the Supreme Azure Emperor Art to ripen the herb after the college entrance examinations. The shining sun was, therefore, a welcome sight to him.

The herb released the most spiritual energy when it was thoroughly ripened. The catch was that it could only maintain for seven days. After seven days, it would wither away and become no different from any other dried plant.

This Shichiyou herb was already reborn from the original Shichiyou herb because of the Immortal Spiritual Energy Ling Yun infused it with! It was the Immortal Spiritual Energy from the Emperor Brush!

It released Yang natured spiritual energy, so Ling Yun wanted to use the seven essential days after it matured to practice his Divine Yang cultivation technique.

Only after that would Ling Yun pluck it and make the Shichiyou Pill for his Qi Cultivation Stage.

Ling Yun looked up at the dazzling sun. “The Shichiyou herb will mature in four to five days if this weather keeps up. This is perfect…”

The college entrance examinations spanned two and a half days. He had two full days of exams on the 7th and 8th and a half-day on the 9th. The Shichiyou herb would have more or less matured once he was done with the exams. He could then focus on his Divine Yang cultivation technique.

There’s still my Heaven Yang Grass, Earth Yin Grass, and Longxian Grass… Ling Yun made a mental note.

Actually, there was no need to remind himself, as he would need them when he attempted to break through to the Qi Cultivation Stage.

“Hey, rascal, don’t you feel hot? Why are you standing at a patch of grass?”

Qin Dongxue relaxed on the sofa, blasting the air conditioner while she talked telepathically to Ling Yun.

“I’m coming in soon…” Ling Yun answered.

“Are you living in the underground? Why did you go and sunbathe after breakfast?” Qin Dongxue asked as he entered the house.

“This temperature is nothing to me, I don’t feel hot at all…” Ling Yun chuckled.

It was actually the same for Qin Dongxue, who was at the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Four. She didn’t feel hot, she just hated the temperature.

Qin Dongxue giggled. “Alright, I know you’re incredible. Go change now, or would you rather have Lingyu wait for you?”

Ling Yun and Ning Lingyu agreed that they would attend the exam at Qingshui Fifth High. Tie Xiaohu and Tang Meng would be coming over to fetch them soon.

Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu gave up on the college entrance examinations. Tie Xiaohu couldn’t be bothered with it, whereas Tang Meng was simply too busy.

Ling Yun went back to his room to change.

Ning Lingyu was already waiting for him in the living room when he stepped out. She wore a white one-piece outfit and stuck to Qin Dongxue on the sofa. They looked like a pair of angels descended from the heavens—noble and holy.

Ning Lingyu felt nothing about the college entrance examinations. She had started her cultivation and had discovered a mysterious and wonderful world. The college entrance examinations were something that mere mortals required.

It was just a perfect ending to the hard work she had put in for so many years.

“Lingyu is getting more radiant…” Ling Yun couldn’t help but check Lingyu out as he came down the stairs.

Lingyu blushed, happy in her heart.

“Big Brother, it’s so hot today, why are you wearing so much?” Ning Lingyu asked shyly.

Ling Yun donned a white shirt, a pair of jeans, and a pair of casual shoes. It was very simple but also chic. There was an inexplicable charm to it.

“No problem, your big brother has cultivated so much that he wouldn’t feel anything even if it was ten degrees hotter…” Ling Yun smiled faintly.

They chatted until a honk sounded out from the yard.

Ling Yun knew instantly that it was Xue Meining and Miao Xiaomiao. He welcomed them with a huge smile.

“Brother Ling Yun!”

Xue Meining jumped out from her Ferrari immediately and dashed into Ling Yun’s arms.

Miao Xiaomiao followed behind in a jade green long dress, looking fresh and elegant.

Miao Xiaomiao wasn’t even registered as a student, so she didn’t need to take the college entrance examinations.

“Ning Er, why are you here?” Ling Yun hugged Xue Meining lightly and asked with a great smile.

“Because I want to accompany you to the exam venue!” Xue Meining knew that Qin Dongxue was in the house, so she didn’t dare to be too intimate with Ling Yun. She rushed into the villa immediately.

“Hello, Aunty…” Xue Meining greeted Qin Dongxue politely.

“Ning Er and Xiaomiao, you’re here? Take a seat!” Qin Dongxue’s smile was in her voice.

Mansion Number One quickly became very lively. Tie Xiaohu and Tang Meng arrived separately after a few minutes.

Ling Yun got them to stay in the car and bade Qin Dongxue goodbye. He then brought Ning Lingyu and Ning Er out.

Under the warm invitation of Tang Meng, Ling Yun and the three beauties got into his car. Tie Xiaohu followed behind closely.

“Tang Meng, turn the air conditioner down a notch, we’re all wearing skirts…” Xue Meining said when he got into the car. It was hot, so Tang Meng had been blasting the air conditioner.

“Okay, okay, okay…” Tang Meng had no choice.

“Big Brother Yun, I know Fifth High very well. Dandan goes there. Their rating is slightly worse than our First High, but their facilities were built better than ours. It’s just like a university,” Tang Meng told Ling Yun, who was in the front passenger.

“How far away is it?” Ling Yun asked.

“It’s about seven or eight kilometers away from Mansion Number One. We’ll arrive in five minutes if I drive faster.”

They reached Fifth High in no time. It was crowded despite the fact that the school holidays had already started. Everyone was there to get familiar with the exam venue.

“So many people…”

“It’s the same with our First High…” Tang Meng smiled.

They found a good parking spot, and Ling Yun looked towards Fifth High and said, “Lingyu, let’s check out your test venue first.”

Ling Yun and Ning Lingyu’s venues weren’t in the same classroom, but they were in the same building. They weren’t far away from each other, only two classrooms apart.

The admission tickets were based on student identification. Zhuang Meina and Ning Lingyu were in the same class. If Zhuang Meina could take the college entrance examinations in the same classroom as Ling Yun, Ning Lingyu naturally wouldn’t be too far away.

The doors of the classrooms were open, allowing students to roam freely. Ling Yun brought Ning Lingyu to her exam venue and got Miao Xiaomiao to accompany her while he went on to find his own venue.

“Hehe, Chi Xiaoqing, I knew you would come and familiarize yourself with the exam venue today. Come, I’ll bring you in. Let me tell you in advance, I’ll be seated behind you this time…”

Ling Yun, accompanied by Tang Meng and Xue Meining, arrived at his examination room. He realized there were too many people at the entrance. The place was flooded with both parents and students. Not even an ant could squeeze through!

“Li Tian, d-don’t get ahead of yourself!” A shrill female voice rang out.

Ling Yun frowned slightly. He directed his divine sense into the classroom, only to find a plainly dressed and beautiful girl being dragged willfully by a guy in branded clothes!
