In the clean and bright room, Ren Yi spoke calmly, operating the console fixed on the floor with both hands.
In front of her, in a circular venue.
Hearing this, Cheng Lin released the "piranha" state, and the vines and two bright flowers covering the ground disintegrated and disappeared.
"How about it?"
Walking out of the venue, Cheng Lin walked over curiously and asked.
"Not bad. The mastery of all aspects is quite good, especially the accuracy of control... Well, it's quite beautiful. It can be seen that you have put in hard work. The current situation is very mature. You can even try to learn other skills.
It’s super powerful…provided you can afford a new one.”
Ren Yi sent the data on the screen to his private mailbox, then turned off the instrument and said calmly.
"..." Cheng Lin was silent for a moment, protesting in his heart that I obviously have two other fifth-grade powers.
Of course, these words can only be thought in the mind, not spoken out.
"Then the inspection is over? I'm fine?"
Cheng Lin asked, and after receiving a positive answer, he walked out.
It wasn't until his figure disappeared that Ren Yicai finally raised his head.
She glanced in the direction he left, and then picked up the medical examination sheet again.
Unexpectedly, a smile full of meaning appeared at the corner of his mouth, which had been expressionless all year round.
…
After walking out of the room, Cheng Lin thought for a moment and did not return to his residence. Instead, he walked to the square beside the valley lake.
Rather than staying in the room, he also wanted to experience the atmosphere of practicing together.
After walking around twice, looking for a better location, he suddenly felt a gaze directed towards him.
Cheng Lin subconsciously looked back and was slightly startled.
"Team Leader Shi?"
The person sitting on the ground was clearly Shi Jin, the leader of Ningcheng Group 8. He was Cheng Lin’s direct leader when he first awakened, but he hadn’t seen him again for several months after entering the academy.
But I didn't expect that we would meet again here today.
Shi Jin also smiled at him, then stood up and made a gesture, and the two of them walked a little further and came to a bench by the lake.
The air is very cool at night in autumn, especially near lakes. The humidity is heavier and the air is colder.
Even the plants by the lake showed a bit of the chill of autumn frost.
Holding on to the railing, Cheng Lin took the initiative to say hello: "Team Leader Shi, long time no see. Huh? I've been promoted. Congratulations."
With the fourth-level sensitivity to aura, Cheng Lin could easily tell that the opponent was now at the third-level cultivation level.
Shi Jin smiled bitterly and said: "I should congratulate you. I also heard the news in Ningcheng that you became a fourth-grade person. In comparison, my progress is really shameful."
Does Ning Cheng already know?
Cheng Lin was a little surprised, but not too surprised. After experiencing the desert projection, the name Cheng Lin was completely famous within the Nine Divisions. A fourth-grade person was naturally worthy of discussion, and it was not surprising that Shi Jin could know about it.
"It's just good luck." Cheng Lin said politely.
Immediately, he asked about Ning Cheng's current situation. Generally speaking, everything was stable. Occasionally, there were some small disturbances, which were dealt with in time. Cheng Lin then asked about Qi Bin, who was the one who led the way after his awakening.
Shi Jin subconsciously reached out and took out a pack of cigarettes, then looked at Cheng Lin and stuffed it back.
"Smoking shouldn't be prohibited here," Cheng Lin said with a smile.
Shi Jin smiled awkwardly and handed him one. After being rejected by Cheng Lin, he lit it himself, took a deep breath, and then said: "He was injured and has now been transferred to a civilian job."
"Injured?" Cheng Lin was stunned.
"Well, something happened during the battle to capture casual cultivators two months ago. The foundation was destroyed. I lay in the hospital for a while, and then quit the action team to be responsible for some daily maintenance work in the logistics."
Shi Jin blew out a puff of green smoke and said.
Logistics...daily maintenance...mostly depends on the warehouse.
Cheng Lin was silent for a moment, feeling quite sad in his heart.
But Shi Jin laughed himself, with two fine wrinkles forming at the corners of his eyes, and said:
"It's okay. I got injured at work, earned a medal and went back. My salary has been improved a lot. After leaving the action team, there is no danger. I can just live a good life. As for us, we still have to work hard to practice and don't dare to stop. After all,
If you stop, the enemy will not stop."
"That makes sense."
Cheng Lin thought of Bennett and Angus, and then nodded sincerely.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, you don't even know it. You have a lot of little fans in Ningcheng now."
Shi Jin suddenly changed the topic and chuckled.
Fans? If you include the fans of "Senior Cheng", my fans are not limited to Ningcheng, but all over the world... Cheng Lin complained in his heart, and then asked curiously: "How do you say it?"
"It's the newly awakened juniors. You know, awakenings happen all the time. Especially two days ago, when our eighth-grade Xia Kingdom appeared, the aura of heaven and earth increased by another level, and the number of newly awakened people also increased.
Small increase.
In the past, because the infrastructure was not perfect, the awakened people could only be left temporarily until the previous batch of students from the spiritual academy graduated before the next batch could enter.
However, this was too time-consuming. Half a year was wasted.
Therefore, some time ago, the department took the lead in opening "spiritual training annexes" in various cities, similar to "pre-schools". The awakened children in this city continue to attend ordinary schools during the day and come to our place for spiritual practice at night.
In this way, I will have a foundation to enter the spiritual academy after half a year.
By the way, Sun Xiao's sister is there now and is the monitor.
The fact that you were promoted to the fourth rank was also printed by us as promotional materials and displayed as an example, so you are now a celebrity in the 'Ningcheng Affiliated'."
Shi Jin leaned on the bench and said with a smile.
Propaganda materials...role models...Cheng Lin immediately shuddered and was about to cry: "Team Leader Shi, you are too...not so good."
"As for ah, why not? Do you know that role models can illuminate the way forward? At present, our department only has a few fourth-grade people. There are not many students like you who have reached this level in the country, right? You don't do it.
Who will be the role model?"
As expected of a team leader, Shi Jin looks thick-browed and big-eyed, but when it comes to ideological work, he still does it in a set way.
Cheng Lin shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he didn't really care, he just felt it was a little weird:
"Forget it, just be a role model and just think of me as giving back to my hometown."
"If you really want to give back to your hometown, remember to return to Ningcheng some time in the future, go to the affiliated school to give a speech or something, and help us do a publicity, I will be satisfied." Shi Jin dusted off the ashes and laughed.
He also gave speeches... did publicity... Cheng Lin smiled helplessly and said, "Let's talk about it, I won't be able to go back for a while."
"Well, you are busy." Shi Jin nodded.
Then the two of them fell silent for a while, with nothing more to say. In the silence, after smoking the cigarette, the two of them walked back in tacit agreement, meditated in the square, and began to practice.
…
…
For the next half month, Cheng Lin entered a state of near seclusion.
Most of the day is spent meditating and exhaling, heading towards stage 2. Late at night, he enters the spiritual world, brings some food to Xi Rui, checks the growth of the "medicine field", and then takes the little rice cake.
Grind the accumulated gold jewelry into gold powder.
This work requires considerable patience and no impatience.
The World Tree was growing well. Cheng Lin measured it with a ruler and found that the space in the spiritual world was slowly getting larger.
It seems that as the World Tree grows, the space is constantly being opened up.
Of course, this range is very small.
"At this rate, when will the spiritual world reach a large scale?" Cheng Lin was a little worried.
But when I think about it, if this space really becomes too big, then it will seem too empty with just him and Ciri. On the contrary, the current size is just right.
Normally, he rarely meets Ren Yi. She seems to be busy most of the time, either in the office or in a certain laboratory. Cheng Lin doesn't understand.
Compared with big cities, the pace of life in the valley is very slow. He lets everything go and the only thought in his mind every day is practice. This kind of life makes Cheng Lin feel unusually comfortable.
It's like I've been running around outside and now I can finally take a good rest.
In this state, time flies by, and half a month is over in the blink of an eye.
His "reward time" was also exhausted, and he left here after bidding farewell to Ren Yi.
At this time, Cheng Lin's cultivation had reached the second level of the fourth rank and was about to reach the third level.
After accumulating for a while, reaching level 3 is not a dream, and then the next step is to sprint to level 5.
…
…
"Boom."
After getting off the bus, Cheng Lin watched the bus full of passengers leave with a puff of exhaust, and he let out a breath of turbid air.
After getting used to breathing the sober air of No. 16 Spiritual Land, he was a little unaccustomed to entering the city again.
Especially the people in this car...
"So many."
Shaking his head, Cheng Lin sighed helplessly.
It’s already early October since I left the spiritual land.
Just in time for the National Day holiday, employees and students from various companies and schools were swarming to go home on this day. The station was overcrowded. Fortunately, this is still a provincial capital city. If it were a county town below, the long-distance trains would probably be crowded.
There are so many people.
"If I had known earlier, I would have come back a day earlier."
After realizing it, Cheng Lin put on his backpack and turned around and entered the college.
Compared with those places where people have collective holidays, Spirituality Academy still maintains its own unique high-level style: Want to take a holiday? Get contribution points in exchange!
For a group of poor students, naturally they can only squat in the college.
Even Fu Zhongting and the others, who took leave to go home two days ago because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, are now in the college.
"I'm back. I don't know how many courses I've missed during this period. I'll have to find time to make up for it later."
With a sigh, Cheng Lin opened the college's internal communication software and then opened the class group.
"Ding dong."
Coincidentally, as soon as he opened the group chat, he saw a document sent by his class teacher Wang Daming:
