Chapter 95: Little Demoness Two Hunts the Wheelchair Man

Now Lu Xingzhou not only obtained the alchemy notes from the Moha Cave Mansion, but also the alchemy classics from Fenxiang Tower, as well as the insights and records of people like Yiyang Zhenren.

He even has Yiyang Zhenren's treasured dan furnace, a third-grade quality item, which is even better than the one he got from Yanluo Hall before.

The cultivation methods from Fenxiang Tower weren't very good, so he threw them to the Tianxing Sword Sect to enrich their library of methods. However, the alchemy part was truly not bad. Whether it was the classics or the tools, they were indeed quite skilled, and definitely higher level than Lu Xingzhou's current ability.

But it's still the same saying: studying classics and notes by oneself is different from having a teacher guide you. Otherwise, Lu Xingzhou wouldn't need to frequently come and discuss things with Chen Jin Nian.

Practicing the Yin-Yang Extreme Intent Skill alone is already very difficult, and adding self-study of other things makes it even more tiring. Lu Xingzhou feels that he is already very amazing for being able to self-study to this extent. He truly admires protagonists in transmigration stories who get a secret book and then instantly become incredibly powerful and defeat everyone. If you gave them a set of textbooks before they transmigrated, he doesn't know if they could even get into Qingbei University by themselves.

In short, it is indeed very difficult to improve by relying on self-study of classics and notes. If there truly is an opportunity for further study and learning, Lu Xingzhou is definitely interested. Simply finding an expert to answer questions and solve problems about the confusing points in the classics and notes could significantly raise his level.

After all, apart from romance and cultivation, there really isn't too much to do in Xia State.

This world highly values alchemy. Alchemists from other sects are all qualified to have protectors, and the court has specially established a Dan Medicine Department to select alchemy talents. The Capital Dan Academy is even more a gathering place for national talents, cultivating the most excellent alchemical talents.

With the current emperor having an old injury that hasn't healed, this is especially valued compared to previous years.

Apart from the Holy Lands, perhaps this is the Great Qian Dynasty's highest academy for alchemy. If one can study here, not only can they elevate their alchemy level, but they can also gain a benefit — an excellent official background.

High-grade alchemists who come out of the Capital Dan Academy, whether they can match a princess is another matter, but they are definitely sufficient to match young ladies from powerful families of generals and direct disciples of sects. Some might even be snatched up as son-in-laws.

Shen Tang will have to think about this.

And with the identity of studying at the Capital Dan Academy, for the Huo family...

Lu Xingzhou's mind raced with countless thoughts, and his expression became much more serious: "Chen Palm Si, if the county level reports a nomination quota, will the Capital Dan Academy definitely accept it?"

"There will be an entrance exam. If you are reported through connections, you will be disqualified directly." Chen Jin Nian sighed, "This exam is extremely strict. I've heard that sometimes His Majesty will personally observe. So, quite a few people with real skills might be blocked outside, and very few can truly enter. Actually, I was also disqualified several times when I was young, and I deeply regret it."

It has a bit of the flavor of the imperial examination... And I can also see why you were disqualified; otherwise, why would you still be a Palm Si in a county city at your age...

Lu Xingzhou didn't say these words aloud, only stood up and bowed: "I am indeed very interested in this matter, and I still hope Chen Palm Si can help me a lot."

"It's easy to say. Selecting talents for the country is one of our Dan Medicine Department's missions. You are the best young alchemist discovered by the Xia State Dan Medicine Department. If you can truly enter the Capital Dan Academy, that will also be our achievement, and we will have face."

"It's hard to say. Even Chen Palm Si didn't pass the exam that year. I don't have much confidence in myself."

Chen Jin Nian smiled and patted Lu Xingzhou's shoulder: "You initially defeated Bai Jing Tian, a fourth-grade alchemist. I can't say much about the inside story, but I am sure that you are at least at the level to be a Palm Si in a county city. If someone at this level can't even get in to study, how many people of the same age can compare? If the Capital Dan Academy only accepts a bunch of old people, that would also be embarrassing. Alright, if I can successfully be promoted to the county level after the New Year, I will arrange this matter for you at that time."

"Thank you very much, Chen Palm Si."

Leaving Chen Jin Nian's home, Lu Xingzhou pondered that the first step in this matter seems to be to find connections to ensure that Chen Jin Nian can be promoted to the county level...

Due to the reason that a bunch of officials died in East Jiang County, the positions are not all filled yet. Among the original Dan Medicine Department Palm Sis, Chen Jin Nian's senior brother was just promoted to county governor, and the position of Dan Medicine Department Palm Si is vacant. With Chen Jin Nian's seniority plus his senior brother's connections, his qualification is enough, but his standard as a sixth-grade alchemist is a bit low. If he can successfully refine the heart-saving dan from just now and successfully advance to fifth-grade, then there will be absolutely no problem, only needing to prevent others from parachuting in.

Giving Wan Cheng of the Town Demon Department a letter about this matter and having him make a move would make it very easy.

The Huo family's identity is still very useful...

Just as he was thinking, a woman passed by his side, seemingly stepping on a stone. Her small foot twisted, and with an "ai ya" sound, she fell towards Lu Xingzhou.

Lu Xingzhou was momentarily absent-minded, and instinctively reached out a hand to support her. The woman was already sitting in his arms.

From a distance, A Nuo tightly pulled Shen Tang: "Teacher-mother, Teacher-mother, don't be impulsive..."

Shen Tang's hair was radiating purple qi, and her sword was almost drawn. Hearing the words, she hatefully put it back: "Aren't you afraid that the little demoness will land a heart-destroying palm strike on your teacher's body!"

A Nuo giggled: "Teacher-mother, I'm afraid it's a heart-plucking hand..."

Shen Tang forced herself to say: "Your teacher is not that kind of person."

You didn't say that when the white-haired sister and Teacher were kissing...

Shen Tang was too lazy to pay attention to her, and nervously looked at Lu Xingzhou's side.

Lu Xingzhou held the soft jade and warm fragrance in his arms. His mind quickly recovered, and he sized up the woman in his arms with a bit of amusement.

Pei Chu Yun's disguise was very good. This look truly didn't resemble her previous appearance at all. Even her temperament had changed greatly. Now she was completely the template of a small family's delicate and refined daughter, looking like a young girl from some family who had come out for a walk during the New Year.

At this moment, she seemed to have twisted her foot, and sat in his arms with tearful eyes, almost crying out loud.

Lu Xingzhou smiled playfully and loosened his arms: "Girl, walk carefully..."

Pei Chu Yun sniffled: "Thank you, Young Master, for helping."

Saying that, she seemed to want to support herself and stand up, but couldn't stand steady again and fell back down. This time, she simply adjusted her posture, and even put her hands around Lu Xingzhou's neck.

Shen Tang tightly clenched her hands, and hidden veins appeared on her forehead.

A Nuo's expression twitched: "Teacher-mother, you're pinching my hand."

Lu Xingzhou sighed: "Looking at the girl's injured foot, how about I take you home?"

Pei Chu Yun's face was shy and completely red, her beautiful face almost buried in his neck. She said in a voice like a mosquito: "Young Master is sitting in a wheelchair, carrying me all the way home... If people on the road see it, this young lady's reputation..."

Lu Xingzhou said: "Then what should the girl do?"

Pei Chu Yun looked at an alley nearby with a shy expression: "There's an inn in the alley. Young Master, carry me to the inn to temporarily rest, seek medicine and apply it to my foot?"

A lone man and woman, entering a dark alley, a small inn, rubbing feet...

There's no need to say what would happen.

Pei Chu Yun secretly sized up Lu Xingzhou's reaction, thinking that if this person really did that, then he would definitely be a lecherous villain, not worth a single strike.

"Alright." Lu Xingzhou responded very straightforwardly and loosened one hand to push the wheelchair.

That hand swept over Pei Chu Yun's body, wiping past from a high position, seemingly unintentionally.

This level of taking advantage reached its peak. Even when the number one schemer in the world was messing with someone, he would just silently take advantage like this without making a sound, and they wouldn't be able to say anything. Let alone a mere Hehuan Sect little demoness.

Pei Chu Yun gritted her silver teeth in annoyance at being touched, but her face still had to maintain a shy and timid smile, saying softly: "Thank you very much, Young Master... If we are fated in the future, this young lady is willing to push your wheelchair."

A Nuo: "?"

Shen Tang: "A Nuo, you're pinching my hand."

Actually, neither Shen Tang nor A Nuo understood why Pei Chu Yun, after failing at the break mountain attempt just now, would come out to hook up with Lu Xingzhou when he was obviously the most vigilant. It's not to mention Lu Xingzhou being a smart person, even ordinary people would feel something was a bit off, right?

But Pei Chu Yun was very clear in her heart. Men are all self-confident. Even if he felt you were a bit problematic in his heart, he would still think he could withstand the temptation, finish taking advantage, and then leave. Lu Xingzhou's performance right now was clearly this.

Some who are even more stubborn would feel that they could finish and then leave, getting a free ride.

However, Hehuan demonesses are not the same as ordinary women. To get a free ride from a Hehuan Sect woman, you might as well climb a tree.

She precisely grasped the psychology of men wanting to see what she planned to do, and intentionally made contact. Now that they had been hugging for so long, the charm technique she was secretly emitting from her body had already invaded Lu Xingzhou's body. Gradually, he would become involuntary, and his desire would erupt.

There was no need to touch any anti-confusion treasures he might have. Just like dealing with Du Gu Qing Li, she could start from the instinctual desires of the body.

When the strong psychological hint of a lonely man and woman entering a dark alley is truly present, people who are affected by the technique will often have their inner fire surge up, only thinking it's their own desires attacking, but in reality, they are affected by the technique and don't know it.

At that time, there is fundamentally no need to actually do anything. As long as she continues to guide them with a push-and-pull attitude, the affected person will naturally become infatuated and even be willing to be a dog just to get a kiss. If there is truly an ambush, he will actively protect her in front of her, making the ambushing person so angry they spit blood.

So, being truly rational, he should have pulled away the distance the first time she pretended to twist her foot and shouldn't have had any contact.

"Judgement officials are like this, just lustful." Pei Chu Yun sneered in her heart, waiting until they were inside the dark alley. Suddenly, with an "ai yo" sound, she leaned on Lu Xingzhou's neck and gasped: "I... My foot hurts..."

She only waited for Lu Xingzhou to be unable to control himself and hug her and kiss her. She would then cleverly break free and not let him truly touch her, completing the whole guidance. Lu Xingzhou, whose desire had erupted, would forget his own surname.

"Is that so?" Lu Xingzhou said: "I am an alchemist. I can help you take a look first."

Without waiting for Pei Chu Yun to say anything against it, Lu Xingzhou reached out a hand, grabbed her small foot, and directly took off her shoe, exposing a crystal clear and beautiful jade foot.

"Your foot isn't injured ah... It's not good to deceive people like this. Your shoe isn't going back." Lu Xingzhou directly put the shoe into his ring.

Pei Chu Yun: "?"

She suddenly lifted her head and looked at the man's clear eyes. Where was the desire reaction of being affected by the technique?

Even the place she was sitting didn't have anything topping it up.

Pei Chu Yun suddenly realized that she had truly been taken advantage of. She suddenly made a move to control Lu Xingzhou, but saw a faint light rising from the wheelchair. With Lu Xingzhou as the center, a protective aura suddenly expanded and bounced her out.

It turned out that from beginning to end, Lu Xingzhou hadn't had any true contact with her. The protective cover of the wheelchair treasure had always been silently protecting him, isolating her dark skill invasion.

The so-called taking advantage was all done while wearing gloves...

The sound of wind howled from the left and right. Shen Tang and A Nuo urgently rushed out from both ends of the alley: "Demoness, go die!"

At the same time, Lu Xingzhou pushed his palms forward again.

A bad memory swept through her mind. Pei Chu Yun's snow mountain even had a bit of phantom pain. At the same time, the phantom pain also transmitted to the white place below.

Pei Chu Yun suddenly struck Lu Xingzhou away with a palm. As Shen Tang and A Nuo attacked in a pincer movement, she fiercely hit backwards, hitting into the alley wall behind her and breaking into someone else's courtyard.

Sword light erupted in the air. Countless Tianxing Sword Sect experts surrounded the area.

Shen Tang broke into the wall hole, only to see the entire space filled with Hehuan flower mist. Taking a slight breath would cause desire to erupt, and her line of sight was tightly obscured, not knowing where the person was.

"Escaped... This time it wasn't instant movement, it was earth escape technique." Lu Xingzhou looked at the ground that rippled like water, and clicked his tongue in surprise: "Hehuan Sect, earth escape technique, it's really hard to connect them together ah. Is this after wanting to suck earth?"

Shen Tang's expression was ugly: "You failed to surround and hunt like this, and you can still joke? Was it very happy to touch and hug?"

Lu Xingzhou laughed: "I planted a mark on her body. The next time she appears within a certain range, she won't be able to escape my perception. However, I am quite curious, even like this, does she still dare to come and hunt me a third time?"

Shen Tang suddenly thought of a vulgar joke she unintentionally heard wine guests chatting about during an escort before, about a hunter who went into the mountain to hit a bear... She didn't know if he went to hit the bear, or to enjoy that.

But then again, this little demoness is actually extremely alert. As soon as she discovers the slightest abnormality, she immediately changes location. If her reaction had been half a beat slower just now, she would have been dead. Her escape techniques are even more varied. It's truly not easy to catch her without fully understanding them.

She is just a bit immature now, but with this talent, she will grow very fast. In a certain sense, everyone has now become the protagonist's object of tempering in a storybook. The next time they meet, she might become a super big enemy who is very difficult to deal with.

At this time, Sheng Yuan Yao, who had been in the Capital for the New Year, received a summons from the National Teacher.

Sheng Yuan Yao knew what the National Teacher wanted to see her about. Asking about Shen Tang, asking about Du Gu Qing Li... everyone had quite a few connections in Xia State.

When she reached the Star Viewing Platform, she saw Ye Ting Lan sitting alone high on the platform, her slender fingers calculating, seemingly divining.

Sheng Yuan Yao curiously stepped forward, carefully stole a glance for a while, but didn't understand. She just honestly stood to the side and waited.

After a while, Ye Ting Lan opened her eyes and looked at Sheng Yuan Yao's honest and careful appearance. She couldn't help but smile: "I heard you were quite majestic in the county, how come you are so honest now?"

Sheng Yuan Yao gave a forced smile: "National Teacher's majesty..."

She stopped halfway through her words, suddenly wanting to scratch her head. Ye Ting Lan had completely returned to her original state, and one truly couldn't see any majesty from her body. To say majesty, it was more the environment and Ye Ting Lan's status that brought it about.

Ye Ting Lan smiled slightly: "Yuan Yao has a straightforward and upright heart, not confused by external things. This is also a talent."

Sheng Yuan Yao bravely asked: "Then what divination were you calculating just now, National Teacher?"

"Calculating your journey in Xia State. That man with the thick ink and heavy color..."

In fact, at this moment, Ye Ting Lan also understood. The initial divination of "seeing the dragon in the field" precisely pointed to this man, which puzzled Ye Ting Lan very much. From the interpretation of the divination image, this man's status is actually higher than Shen Tang's. What is the reason for this?

Sheng Yuan Yao's heart also skipped a beat: "How is he?"

"Nothing. I was just calculating a divination about his next actions."

"And the result?"

"Immediate deer no worry. Yuan Yao, do you know its meaning?"

Sheng Yuan Yao had heard of this basic image and lines due to her family's extensive learning: "Entering the mountain to hunt deer, but without a guide, it's easy to get lost in the forest. When decisive, abandon it, otherwise there will be risk?"

"Not bad." Ye Ting Lan nodded with praise: "Others are like this to him, and he is like this to others... Does he not have deer to hunt?"
