Jun Wen and Feng Xi first went to report to Hall Master Luo of the Transmission Hall, then arrived at the Transmission Square.
Although they arrived relatively early, many inner disciples were already waiting for class in the square.
When they saw Feng Xi and Jun Wen, they all stood up to greet them.
Jun Wen was used to doing as he pleased, at most giving a nod.
Feng Xi was different, smiling as she greeted and chatted with everyone, showing not the slightest bit of arrogance.
Feng Xi's name had already been very well-known within Xuantian Sect recently, and now she won even more favor from many inner disciples.
By the time Elder Duanmu, who was responsible for teaching today, arrived, Feng Xi had already become familiar with more than half the disciples present.
Yes, she was that fast!
Jun Wen was left wide-eyed!
Although he didn't think befriending these inner disciples had any real use, he had to admit Little Junior Sister's social ability was extraordinarily strong.
Well, without that ability, she wouldn't have been able to persuade Xing Wu and the others to cooperate with her.
Jun Wen quietly whispered to Feng Xi, "Little Junior Sister, this Elder Duanmu is famously old-fashioned. He dislikes cheerful, lively disciples like us the most, you have to be careful!"
As he was muttering, Elder Duanmu shouted angrily, "Jun Wen, go stand in the corner!"
Jun Wen: "..."
He forgot, this Elder Duanmu's ears were abnormally sharp.
He could only slump his shoulders and walk to the northern corner to stand in punishment.
Elder Duanmu glanced at Feng Xi. He actually had a bit of fondness for her. After all, Feng Xi's persona had been established too well.
But Elder Duanmu still felt like Feng Xi's personality was a bit too unruly. Since the Sect Master had sent her to the Transmission Hall, he must make her behave properly.
So after dealing with Jun Wen, he had Feng Xi stand up.
"Feng Xi, although you recently made great contributions to the sect, in the Transmission Hall there are only elders and disciples, there is no such thing as a meritorious hero.
Thus, you must remember the rules of the Transmission Hall. If you violate them, punishment will not be spared.
Do you understand?"
Feng Xi answered obediently, "I understand."
Elder Duanmu was very satisfied, this girl was much better than that blockhead Jun Wen.
He told her to sit down.
There were meditation cushions on the ground, everyone sat cross-legged.
"Today's lesson will mainly explain spiritual qi.
When the world first opened, spiritual qi and demonic qi came to be.
Spiritual qi rose, demonic qi sank, and thus heaven and earth were formed."
Feng Xi frowned slightly, this was not the same as what the little black ball had said!
But she didn't intend to raise a question.
First, she had no evidence to convince anyone. Second, questioning Elder Duanmu in class would only embarrass him.
But this fool Jun Wen did speak up!
"Elder Duanmu, I heard that when the world first opened, there was only primordial chaos qi, which later separated into spiritual qi and demonic qi.
Did you perhaps get it wrong?"
Feng Xi: "..."
Elder Duanmu already disliked Jun Wen's careless attitude. Thinking he was causing trouble again, he scolded, "Jun Wen! You really refuse to mend your ways!
If you dare spout nonsense again, I'll lock you in Wan Jian Cave!"
Jun Wen looked unconvinced, "You said it wrong, why shouldn't I point it out? Are you intending to mislead disciples?"
Elder Duanmu nearly exploded with rage!
"Disrupting class openly, the punishment is three days of reflection in Wan Jian Cave! Scram, go to Wan Jian Cave immediately!"
Jun Wen coldly snorted and left.
Feng Xi was left wide-eyed in shock!
But very quickly she understood that Jun Wen was likely doing it on purpose!
He didn't want to come to class in the Transmission Hall, but he couldn't disobey Xiao Baidao, so he used this method.
When he comes out of Wan Jian Cave, he likely won't need to attend anymore.
The reason was very solid, he can just say he doesn't want to anger the elders again.
Feng Xi couldn't tell whether to praise him for being clever or scold him for being brainless, and continued listening to the lesson earnestly.
Even if what Elder Duanmu said was wrong, it wasn't his personal incorrect view but the prevailing belief of this world. Listening still had benefits.
So she wouldn't reveal any gaps when chatting with others in the future.
After Elder Duanmu calmed his mood, he continued explaining spiritual qi.
Very soon, he reached the topic of spiritual power techniques, "The power of a spiritual technique depends heavily on the speed at which a cultivator forms seals. If the seal speed is fast enough, even the most ordinary Fire Incantation can unleash immense power…"
After lecturing for a while, he suddenly said, "Feng Xi, come to the front. I will use you as an example to demonstrate seal formation."
He chose Feng Xi because he believed her seal speed would certainly be slow, perfect as an example of what not to do.
Feng Xi obediently ran to Elder Duanmu and even bowed.
Elder Duanmu's impression of her improved further, such a sensible disciple must not be led astray by Jun Wen!
He should remind her after class.
While thinking, he said, "Feng Xi, begin forming the seals for Fire Incantation so everyone can observe."
Feng Xi nodded obediently. Just as she was about to form the seals, the three spiritual roots inside her dantian suddenly started fighting for some reason.
Seeing Feng Xi not moving, Elder Duanmu urged, "Feng Xi, quickly form the seals!"
Feng Xi felt irritated and anxious, she wanted to finish forming the seals quickly and return to her seat to meditate, so she immediately began.
But the moment she started, the spiritual power in her meridians suddenly surged!
Boom!
A huge ball of flame burst forth, blasting directly toward Elder Duanmu's face.
Originally, Elder Duanmu could have dodged it. But he was unprepared and standing very close, although he avoided it with his head, his beard caught fire!
When the flames extinguished, Elder Duanmu's once two-foot-long beard was now less than one inch!
Everyone in Xuantian Sect knew Elder Duanmu treasured his beard the most. He groomed it daily, and even stored every fallen hair in a jade box.
Feng Xi had caused a major disaster this time!
But Feng Xi herself felt like she was about to explode from the spiritual power overload, she had no attention to spare. She only managed to say briefly that she hadn't done it on purpose.
Elder Duanmu's hair practically stood on end in fury!
"Good! Very good!
You two really are true martial siblings!
One disrupts class in public, one burns my beard!
Scram off to Wan Jian Cave and reflect for three days!"
