After leaving the Mission Hall, Qinchuan and Lü Zi returned to the dormitory and began a long period of cultivation. However, this time, the two mainly focused on comprehending Glyph Arrays.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. In this half a month, Qinchuan finally completed the inscription of the Thunderbolt Glyph Array. He could be considered to have mastered the second level Glyph Array.
During this process, Qinchuan also discovered some problems.
When he first learned the Thunder Manipulation Glyph Array, he only spent a few days to learn it. The process was relatively easy. However, when he learned the Thunderbolt Glyph Array, the process was quite difficult.
However, in terms of difficulty, the Thunder Manipulation Glyph Array and the Thunderbolt Glyph Array were almost the same. Logically speaking, the latter should not take more time than the former.
After thinking about it, Qinchuan thought of the most likely reason. The reason for this situation might be related to the Thunder Devouring Art that he cultivated.
The Thunder Manipulation Glyph Array was a Glyph Array that came with the Thunder Devouring Art. It could be considered as a small branch of the Thunder Devouring Art system. Although the Thunderbolt Glyph Array was also a Lightning Glyph Array, it did not have much connection with the Thunder Devouring Art. It was probably because of this reason that it was particularly difficult for him to learn the Thunderbolt Glyph Array.
However, compared to other Glyph Arrays, his learning speed was already very fast. Take Lü Zi for example. She was still stuck at the last crucial point of the Flying Cloud Glyph Array. She was unable to master it thoroughly. It was estimated that she would need at least another ten days to barely master the Flying Cloud Glyph Array. And to master it proficiently, it would probably be a matter of a month.
The Flying Cloud Glyph Array belonged to the Illusion Glyph Array. Qinchuan's talent rune attribute was Lightning Attribute. It was not impossible to learn the Flying Cloud Glyph Array, but the process was relatively slow. Therefore, when choosing the third level Glyph Array that he was about to learn, Qinchuan finally chose the Two Heart Glyph Array that did not have any special attribute requirements.
Just as Qinchuan was earnestly studying the Two-Heart Glyph Array, the other seven official students, excluding Qinchuan and Lü Zi, had also successfully cultivated to the eighth level of the Refinement Stage, obtaining the qualifications to enter the Mission Hall.
On this day, with Long Xiao in the lead, seven official students entered the Mission Hall together. Regarding the arrival of these seven newcomers, the senior students who were wandering around the Mission Hall gave a rather warm welcome.
"Hello, juniors. My name is Wang Xian. I'm your third-year senior."
Wang Xian walked towards the crowd with a smile on his face. He said to Long Xiao, who was clearly the leader, "You are all new here, so you must not understand many of the rules of the Mission Hall. How about I explain it to you?"
"You're already a junior, but you're still in the Refinement Stage?"
Facing the smiling Wang Xian, Long Xiao did not have much interest because she could clearly feel that Wang Xian's aura was not much stronger than hers.
Hearing this, Wang Xian's expression changed slightly. He said to Long Xiao somewhat helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to work hard, but without the Foundation Elixir, no matter how hard I work, it would be a waste of energy."
Hearing Wang Xian's explanation, Long Xiao nodded lightly. It was indeed as Wang Xian said. Without the Foundation Elixir, it was practically impossible to rely on one's own strength to break through to the Foundation Stage. It was understandable that Wang Xian was stuck at the thirteenth level of the Refinement Stage because he did not have the Foundation Elixir.
"Long Xiao, let's go."
In the crowd, Bluepool's gaze was somewhat impatient as he glanced at Wang Xian and said, "A third-year auditing student who's still in the Refinement Stage. No matter how you look at it, he's trash. Why are we wasting our breath on him!"
Faced with Bluepool's disdain, Wang Xian's expression could not help but become unsightly. He forced a smile and said to Bluepool, "Although I'm still an auditing student, no matter what, I'm still a few years older than you. You're being too disrespectful by speaking so rudely."
"Respect?"
Bluepool looked at Wang Xian with disdain. "Although I'm only in the eighth level of the Refinement Stage now, it's not difficult for me to defeat you. I think you shouldn't show off in front of me, lest you ask for trouble!"
"Alright, shut up, Bluepool."
Long Xiao frowned and glanced at Bluepool, then nodded slightly at Wang Xian. She walked around Wang Xian and headed towards the service staff in the mission hall. Clearly, although she did not like Bluepool's arrogance, she agreed with what he said. There was indeed no need for them to waste time here with Wang Xian.
Everyone followed behind Long Xiao and left. Wang Xian stood in the same spot and looked at Bluepool with a gloomy expression. His fists were clenched tightly, and it was as if he was going to grind his teeth into pieces!
"Although I, Wang Xian, have ordinary strength, I've been in this mission hall for three years. Who doesn't give me some face? You're just a new student. So what if you're an official student!
I'll definitely let you know the price of offending me. Your companions will be implicated by you! "
…
Ding dong.
The crisp sound of the doorbell rang, disturbing Qinchuan, who was focused on studying the Two Hearts Talisman Array. Without raising his head, he asked directly, "Lele, who's outside?"
"Student Qinchuan, the person standing outside the dormitory and pressing the doorbell is Student Chen Changxing."
After receiving Lele's reply, Qinchuan stopped studying the Two Hearts Talisman Array. He got up and walked towards the living room downstairs. As he walked, he said to the mini Lele beside him, "Open the door and let him in."
Following Qinchuan's words, the door to the dormitory slowly opened, and Lele's sweet voice rang out at the same time.
"Student Chen Changxing, on behalf of Student Qinchuan, I welcome you."
Hearing this, Chen Changxing, who was standing outside the door, forced a smile and walked in. The moment he entered, he saw Qinchuan brewing tea in the living room.
"I don't usually drink tea, so I don't know whether this tea tastes good or bad. Just make do with it."
Qinchuan chuckled as he looked at Chen Changxing, who walked in, and asked, "Why are you so interested in looking for me? Oh right, I almost forgot to congratulate you. Now you're at the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage, right?"
Facing the hospitable Qinchuan, Chen Changxing sighed helplessly and said, "I originally thought that after cultivating to the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage, my life would soar to the sky. But who knew that before I could take off, I would encounter a setback."
Qinchuan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What happened?"
"It's all because of that idiot Bluepool."
Chen Changxing said to Qinchuan somewhat angrily, "This Bluepool spoke rudely on the first day we entered the mission hall and provoked a third-year fellow. In the end, that fellow was a deacon of a guild and had a lot of subordinates. He always interfered with us when we were doing missions. Now, ten days have passed, and we haven't even completed the most basic solo mission. Don't you think that's infuriating?!"
"That's really unfortunate," Qinchuan looked at Chen Changxing with a smile and said, "You came to find me because you want me to stand up for you?"
