103: A false alarm

Chapter 103: A False Alarm

As an Inner Disciple of the Mechanical Dojo, she had seen all sorts of incredibly talented Scroll Masters.

She had also interacted with many outstanding young talents from other Dojos.

But no one had ever given her such a suffocating feeling.

One must know that every Dojo Disciple is backed by centuries of Family Legacy and accumulation.

How does that saying go?

How can your ten years of arduous study compare to the efforts of several generations?

Yet, Wu Xian's appearance seemed to break this established norm.

"No, this person absolutely cannot be some ordinary bumpkin," Tang Qingxuan's eyes flickered, "Could he be from a declining, vanished founding Family?"

That's it, it must be!

Otherwise, it simply couldn't be explained.

It seems it's necessary to investigate him thoroughly.

"Damn it," Tang Qingxuan rubbed her cheek in pain, wiping away the footprint on her face, "Did he really not leave any face at all?"

The more Tang Qingxuan thought about it, the angrier she became. In all her life, this was the first time she had encountered such a "ruthless" man.

But as her anger subsided, a strange feeling inexplicably arose within her, and her cheeks turned rosy.

Honestly, the Move and the ferocity that boy showed when he cornered her seemed quite handsome.

After her injuries had mostly recovered, it was already early morning the next day.

Tang Qingxuan quietly jumped back into her room through the window.

The next second, she saw Tang Tiaotiao sitting prettily on her bed. "Sister Qingxuan, where did you go so early in the morning?"

"..." Tang Qingxuan's expression was slightly stiff.

"Oh ~ why are you so dirty, and there are traces of injury on you?" Tang Tiaotiao exclaimed in surprise and indignation. "Did someone bully you? Tell me, I'll go get revenge for you!"

Tang Qingxuan awkwardly waved her hand. "Last night, I was bored, so I went to a dimensional copy on your side. I encountered a few powerful monsters."

"I see," Tang Tiaotiao breathed a sigh of relief. "But why didn't Sister Qingxuan call me when you went to the dimensional copy?"

"Uh, the copy that Sister went to was a higher level. It's not quite suitable for you yet."

Tang Tiaotiao pouted sullenly. "Then can you take me with you next time?"

"Mhm, we'll go together if there's a chance another day."

"Hehe." Only then was Tang Tiaotiao satisfied.

"By the way, Tiao Tiao," Tang Qingxuan suddenly asked, "Is your classmate named Wu Xian really from a humble background?"

Tang Tiaotiao looked bewildered. "Why is Sister Qingxuan suddenly asking about Little Xianzi?"

"Curiosity," Tang Qingxuan casually made up an excuse: "Yesterday, I carefully studied his match and felt that his scroll had a lot of potential. It doesn't seem like the standard of a wild Scroll Master."

"Does Sister Qingxuan also think Little Xianzi is excellent?" Tang Tiaotiao's eyes lit up. "Why don't we just take Little Xianzi with us to the Mechanical Dojo?"

Her idea was very simple: if Wu Xian accompanied her, she would be happier at the Mechanical Dojo.

Then, she and Wu Xian, as old partners, would recruit a group of younger brothers at the Mechanical Dojo to make their Gang bigger and stronger.

Thinking about it, she felt a little anticipation.

"Although this person is quite talented, he is not a Mechanical Scroll Master, so he is not very suitable for our Mechanical Dojo." Tang Qingxuan smiled, "And he has now apprenticed himself to Xue Lingling, so he will likely be a member of the Undead Dojo in the future."

"Alright." Tang Tiaotiao pouted in disappointment.

It's a pity that the Mechanical Dojo doesn't seem to care for the Transformer series, finding that the Transformers have "no" Law Veins... In the North District, in Third Master Xue's messy room.

Wu Xian, at Third Master Xue's instruction, was repeatedly extracting and deconstructing the spiritual structures of various Materials, feeling secretly puzzled.

"Try this again."

Third Master Xue, with a strange expression, handed him another Material.

"Again?" Wu Xian was bewildered. "I've been deconstructing all night."

"What do you know? This is basic training!" Third Master Xue said sternly, "Now try this core Material from a fifth-tier monster."

Wu Xian helplessly, could only obediently and diligently extract and deconstruct.

But Third Master Xue watched, growing more and more alarmed, frowning deeply. "Kid, did you learn pigment blending from someone else before?"

"No, I didn't." Wu Xian replied without thinking.

"Then why are your fundamentals so solid?"

"Solid?" Wu Xian's expression was strange. He really didn't know how solid his fundamentals were. "Isn't it just extracting and deconstructing the spiritual substances in Materials?"

Third Master Xue said with a serious look, "I see that during your extraction and deconstruction process, your technique for dealing with spiritual Impurities is quite refined. It's clearly something you've practiced properly."

"You mean Impurities?" Wu Xian suddenly understood. "That might be related to how I usually practice."

"Practice method?" Third Master Xue was puzzled.

Wu Xian briefly explained his difficult journey of exploring and researching with various scraps when he first had no money.

Although he was rich now, he still liked to practice with scraps that others didn't want.

On one hand, it was to be thrifty and make the best use of everything.

On the other hand, it was also to leave a livelihood for Yellow Hair and his Gang of scavengers.

And he didn't think there was anything wrong with scraps; besides having more Impurities, there was no other difference.

"You mean, you've always been practicing and researching with those scraps that others don't want?" Third Master Xue's expression was strange. "With so many Impurities, don't you find it troublesome?"

"It saves a bit of money," Wu Xian said indifferently, "And once you get used to it, it's not so troublesome to deal with."

"..."

Third Master Xue's mouth twitched. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

So this kid had been doing "weighted training" all along?

No wonder his technique for handling spiritual Impurities was so exquisite.

Of course, this clearly wasn't something that could be achieved by just "weighted training"; he must also have some talent.

"Go to the hospital later and get a thorough physical examination. Don't let anything go wrong." Third Master Xue sternly reminded him.

"Why is that?"

"Although your training method is surprisingly effective," Third Master Xue said seriously, "you must understand that the more Impurities, the greater the pollution."

The moment he heard this, Wu Xian felt terrible.

He immediately said goodbye to Third Master Xue.

He went to the best hospital in the city for a comprehensive, all-around check-up.

"How is it, Doctor? Is the contamination and lesions on my body serious?"

Wu Xian looked eagerly at the doctor. At this moment, he was like a patient who had just searched on Baidu, feeling that his life was already bleak.

But the doctor looked at the lab report with surprise. In all his years of practice, this was the first time he had seen such a "green and pollution-free" body.

"Amazing! All indicators for contamination and lesions are infinitely close to zero. How did you do it?"

"Huh?" Wu Xian was both surprised and delighted. "Completely healthy?"

"Not just healthy, it's unbelievably good," the doctor said incredulously. "Even someone who has just spent a year recuperating in a cleansing chamber might not have indicators as good as yours."

"I see, that's good!" Wu Xian breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Doctor."

The doctor wanted to chat more, but Wu Xian had already slipped away.

Wu Xian, having had a false alarm, was deep in thought.

"Is it because of the God of Wealth, or the purification brought by the Spiritual Qi of the Laurel Tree?"

"Or, both?"

Currently, Wu Xian could only think of these two reasons.

After returning to the small villa in the North District, he immediately logged onto the big shot forum and asked: "After obtaining a Natal Ancient Scroll, is it possible to resist distortion and contamination to a certain extent?"

Old Zhou of Beihai: "There seems to be such a saying, but I haven't experienced it personally."

Man Sanquan: "Several ancient texts in my possession mention the purifying effect of Natal Blood scrolls on distortion and contamination."

Four Generations Under One Roof: "That's great, but it's a pity we still can't make them."

Invincible Yang: "Soon, soon! I have a premonition that it will definitely succeed this time!"

Ye Ao Nai Wo He: "Old Yang, how many times have you said that?"

Man Sanquan: "Exactly! If you succeed this time, I'll livestream myself eating a ton of shit—!"

Ye Ao Nai Wo He: "I'll eat ten tons!"

Wu Xian then posted another question: "Speaking of which, what exactly is distortion and contamination?"
