Chapter 62: Chapter 60: Is it not because Wen Zhixing’s martial arts skills are superb?

Wutong Peak, Cultivation Hall.

Wen Miner was meditating with her eyes closed, cultivating in the Cultivation Hall of Wutong Peak as usual. On regular days, Ning Shan would be teaching others here. Since Ning Shan had entered closed-door cultivation, naturally, no disciples of Wutong Peak came anymore, and gone were the days of hustle and bustle. Nevertheless, Wen Miner still stayed and cultivated alone, silently and diligently. But today was different. For some reason, the Wonderous Palace seemed unusually lively today. Outside the Cultivation Hall, there was clearly nobody, yet whispers of commotion still reached her ears.

"Direct... disciple... can’t... be..."

The intermittent voices kept coming.

Wen Miner frowned and opened her eyes. What was happening?

"What about a direct disciple?" she murmured.

A thought struck her; she patted her little bottom and got up straight away. Something wasn’t right—there seemed to be some kind of incident. Her face revealed her signature naïve and cute smile as she hopped and skipped toward the exit.

「...」

「Wutong Peak.」

「Scenario Hall.」

This hall was different from the Cultivation Hall; it served as a gathering and communication hub for the disciples of Wutong Peak. The news of Wen Zhixing being accepted as a core disciple spread from here. And it was precisely because of this news that the Scenario Hall was exceptionally bustling today. Many came to confirm the authenticity of the matter. Upon learning that the news was true, each person’s expression was particularly telling.

"How strange, how strange! How could a furnace disciple become a core disciple?" a skinny female disciple spoke up.

"Who knows? And who could have taken him as a disciple?" somebody casually agreed, their tone somewhat disdainful, yet their faces showing signs of discontent. After all, this was a core disciple! They, with their limited talent, knew that becoming inner sect disciples was their absolute peak. A core disciple was something they wouldn’t even dare to dream of, yet a furnace disciple had actually become one. This realization caused quite an imbalance in the hearts of many.

"Could it be that this Wen Zhixing’s skills are so exceptional that he served an Elder so well that the Elder became entranced, thus making him a core disciple?" another tall female disciple muttered in a low voice. As soon as these words came out, many burst into laughter. It had to be said, there was a real possibility of that happening. Within the Wonderous Palace, there were indeed quite a few furnace disciples who rose through the ranks in such a manner. However, the Elders of the Wonderous Palace were veterans of many battles; how could they so easily fall prey to temptation? The crowd made light of it, knowing the likelihood was slim.

"I wonder what Wen Zhixing looks like. Suddenly he’s a core disciple, and we don’t even know his face," the tall female disciple spoke again.

"Just a bunch of eyesores. If it wasn’t for cultivation, I would never touch these stinky men," someone spoke with disgust, even fanning the air in front of their nose.

"Oh, Junior Sister Wu, you claim you don’t touch men?" a disciple, dressed rather scantily, teased. "If it weren’t for the lack of furnace disciples to go around, I bet you could find seven different ones in a week, none repeating, right?"

"Go away, go away!" Junior Sister Wu, having her thoughts exposed, felt embarrassed and annoyed. The crowd laughed heartily at the spectacle.

"Eh, haven’t we seen Wen Zhixing before? Have you all forgotten?" a somewhat plump female disciple suddenly spoke up in surprise.

"Seen him before?"

"Yes, we have. I remember it well," the plump disciple spoke again.

"When was that?" The others showed interest, their faces revealing curiosity.

"That day, he came alone to seek out Senior Sister Ning Shan," she continued. "Ning even chased us away then."

"It’s him!" At this, many remembered Wen Zhixing. In their minds, they recalled the ethereal figure of Wen Zhixing bathed in sunlight.

"So, it’s that young man brimming with Yang Qi," At this, Junior Sister Wu’s eyes suddenly lit up. She had taken a liking to Wen Zhixing at first sight, only to be disappointed when Ning Shan took him away. She felt powerless despite her eagerness.

The others suddenly understood.

"Um... Senior Sisters, what are you talking about?" Just then, a naïve voice suddenly popped up from behind the crowd.

They were startled, turning around only to see two round hair buns, and then Wen Miner’s naïve smiling face appeared.

"It turns out to be Junior Sister Miner." Seeing her, the others immediately spoke up with a laugh, though their expressions were no longer as casual as before. Wen Miner was a direct disciple of Feng Ruoli; her status, even among core disciples, was considered high.

"What are you Senior Sisters chatting about? It sounds very lively." Wen Miner tilted her head slightly, curiosity in her eyes.

"Junior Sister Wen, you don’t know yet?" someone spoke up with a smile.

"I don’t know," Wen Miner waved her hands.

"Look, Junior Sister Miner, it’s about a furnace disciple becoming a direct disciple!" Junior Sister Wu leaned in and said with a smile.

"A furnace disciple became a direct disciple?" Wen Miner was also taken aback at this. Her first reaction was pure disbelief. No way... But then a thought struck her, and she blurted out, "What’s this person’s name?"

"Wen Zhixing," someone in the crowd quickly replied.

"Wen Zhixing." Wen Miner’s smile slowly faded, and her brows furrowed slightly. But then she smiled again, "Do any of you Senior Sisters know the reason why this person was accepted as a core disciple?"

"That... we don’t know." The others shook their heads as well.

"However, this Wen Zhixing does seem a bit unusual." Junior Sister Wu licked her thin lips and said dreamily, "The Yang Qi from him was nearly spilling out!"

The others nodded in agreement.

"I see..." Wen Miner’s eyes gleamed before she flashed a bright smile and then broke away from the group. "You Senior Sisters go ahead and chat. I’m going back to my cultivation."

The others didn’t mind and continued to chat merrily.

Afterward, Wen Miner did not go anywhere else but simply returned to the Cultivation Hall to resume her cultivation, as if nothing had happened at all. She cultivated in her room for the entire day, until night fell. Wen Miner then returned to her boudoir to rest, her expression as normal as ever.

Only when she was sure she was not being watched did she take out a Communication Jade Talisman.

There was something fishy about this. But her identity was sensitive, and she couldn’t get involved personally. Fortunately, she had people like She Zhihong to rely on. Wen Zhixing had appeared before her many times, and she had felt there was something extraordinary about him from the start. Now, it seemed that Wen Zhixing might possess some special constitution.

She was about to contact Mu Yunqing, but then she paused, her hand hovering over the jade talisman. She frowned slightly. She knew Wen Zhixing had already secretly pledged allegiance to the Righteous Sun Sect, and Mu Yunqing himself had been the liaison; she hadn’t been involved. If Wen Zhixing truly had a special constitution, why wouldn’t Mu Yunqing know?

Mu, are you hiding something from me? Wen Miner’s expression flickered, and in the end, she decided against contacting Mu Yunqing.

「—」

Meanwhile, Wen Zhixing naturally had no idea that he had attracted so much attention. He was alone in his room, setting up the Blood Fiend Array.

Wen Zhixing’s lips curled slightly. One night should be enough. Then he shouted to the Life Defying Blood Body beside him, "Come, chop me! Let my blood out!"
