After Cultivating With the Enemy

In the next few days, Ji Chaoyun and Feng Qi did not meet again.

Before the Tianbang Grand Competition, the disciples of the academy still need to complete another quarterly exam.However, Ji Chaoyun had already passed the assessment ahead of time with his meritorious deeds and obtained the first grade. As long as he didn't fail in his homework, he didn't need to go to the classroom to attend classes from time to time.

Therefore, during this period of time, Ji Chaoyun simply did not go back to the disciples' courtyard, instead he meditated and practiced in the Dengyun Building, concentrating on preparing for the Tianbang Grand Competition.

He doesn't need an exam, but other disciples don't.

Without Ji Chaoyun's supervision, Ye Chenxing was visibly back to the verge of failing.Under his various pleadings, Ji Chaoyun finally agreed to help him with his homework during the evening class.

At night, Dengyun Tower is brightly lit, and the warm pavilion smells familiar.Ji Chaoyun closed a scripture that he had just finished reading, and knocked on the head of the person beside him.

"Aw!" Ye Chenxing, who was dozing off, shivered and sat upright in an instant, "I'm not being lazy, I'm memorizing!"

Beiran raised his head from the writing, and said with a smile, "I testify, Brother Ye only slept for a stick of incense, not too long."

"..." Ye Chenxing gritted his teeth, "Xiao Beiran—"

Ji Chaoyun shook his head and stood up: "I just want to say that the bell for class dismissal has passed, you should go back."

Both of them were startled, Ye Chenxing wondered, "Why didn't I hear anything?"

"There is an enchantment protection outside the Dengyun Tower, which isolates all noises, so naturally you can't hear them." Beiran explained to him, and then said, "It seems that Brother Ji has improved a lot recently in his cultivation."

Ji Zhaoyun was bending over to pack the paper, inkstone and books on the table, and after hearing his question, he raised his eyes and said, "Yes."

"Can you be more diligent?" Ye Chenxing smiled gossipingly, "We Chaoyun practiced hard, and now there is someone who opened the back door. Chaoyun, you have to work hard, every time the Tianbang Dabi Academy will set up privately Gambling, I'm ready to put all my money on you, to make it to the final round."

Ji Zhaoyun paused, and said: "The Tianbang Grand Competition is an elimination system. The lottery is drawn in each round according to the number of participating disciples. The later the stage, the more difficult it becomes. Are you not afraid of losing all your wealth?"

"Don't be afraid, I've made up my mind." Ye Chenxing leaned back on the seat, and said rascally, "If I lose, I'll go to the gate of Wenqu Peak and cry bitterly, and ask your Fenghuang to pay me the money."

Ji Chaoyun: "..."

Ji Zhaoyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he didn't talk to him, and walked to the bookshelf beside the table with the books he had sorted out.

Before Feng Qi retreated, he found out all the scriptures in the Dengyun Tower that were good for cultivation and suitable for Ji Chaoyun's use, and stuffed a full cabinet for him.That person doesn't like to read scriptures and discuss Taoism, but he is quite accomplished when he talks about martial arts. Ji Zhaoyun has practiced according to these scriptures these days, and has made great progress.

"Brother Ji, let me help you."

Beiran took the initiative to help Ji Chaoyun sort it out, and the two put the books back in categories. Ji Chaoyun asked again, "How did you read the book I borrowed from you last time?"

Beiran had the worst qualifications among them, and Ji Chaoyun would help if he could, and he had borrowed books from Dengyunlou several times.

"I'm slow to understand, and I haven't finished it yet." Bei Ran rubbed his nose embarrassingly, "I'll read it for a few more days, and I'll return it after I finish it."

"It's okay, I'm not urging you." Ji Chaoyun said, "That scripture is obscure, if you really can't understand it, I remember there is a better one..."

Ji Zhaoyun flicked through the books listed on the bookshelf with his fingertips, and quickly found the book he was looking for.

Ji Zhaoyun pulled out the book vigorously, but he didn't expect that there seemed to be a book in the scroll, and it also slid down.

"Hey, what is this..."

Beiran lowered his head and picked up the book, but before he could see it clearly, Ji Zhaoyun quickly pulled it out.

Ji Zhaoyun's ears, which were hidden behind his temple hair, quickly turned red, but fortunately, the person in front of him didn't pay attention.He vaguely explained: "It's nothing, just read this book."

As he spoke, he stuffed the book that he had drawn out into Bei Ran's hand, and the book hurriedly put it into his arms.

Ye Chenxing had already tidied up, and when he walked over, he happened to see his movement, and squinted at him: "What, mysterious, love words written by His Royal Highness Feng Er?"

"..." Ji Zhaoyun's ears turned red, but his face remained serious, "No, don't talk nonsense."

Ye Chenxing was dubious, and shook his head, "Xiao Beiran, tell me, we were the two who came first, so why did the flower peacock get there first? The water thrown by the abducted brother can't be found. ..."

Ye Chenxing pulled Beiran out of the Nuan Pavilion, and Ji Chaoyun heaved a sigh of relief when he closed the door of the Nuan Pavilion.

He took out the book in his arms, and with the light in the house, he could only see the blurred writing on the old cover.

Fortunately, the cover was so worn that Beiran and the others didn't see clearly what kind of book it was.

—— "Secrets of Spiritual Practice"

Ever since Ji Chaoyun smashed His Highness Feng Er with this book last time, he has never seen this thing again.He thought he had already been lost by that person, but he didn't expect to be caught in the pile of practice books given to him, and was almost read by others.

Ji Zhaoyun gritted his teeth lightly, and said viciously: "You must have done it on purpose..."

But by coincidence, Ji Zhaoyun didn't put the book back.

"This method...can really improve your cultivation?" Ji Chaoyun glanced at the closed door guiltily, and confirmed that there was no one else in Dengyun Building except him, then sat down at the table and turned a page.

Half an hour later, the curfew had arrived, and a figure flashed past outside the Dengyun Tower.

Ji Zhaoyun risked being caught by the night patrol disciples, returned to Wenqu Peak where he hadn't been back for a few days, and soaked in the hot spring water all night with a red face.

Five or six days passed in a blink of an eye, seeing that the season exam was approaching, but Feng Qi still didn't leave the customs.

This day, Ji Zhaoyun couldn't calm down since he woke up in the morning.

He meditated for a long time to no avail, so he had to give up and leave Dengyun Tower to walk around.

At this time, it was the morning class time, and there were not many people on the main peak of Hongmeng Academy, only the faint sound of reading could be heard.Ji Chaoyun wandered boredly on the main peak, and unknowingly walked to the back mountain.

The back mountain is quieter than the front mountain. Except for Yanjianping on the mountainside, which is used by disciples of Xuan and Huang characters for lunch classes, few people go to other places.

Going further along the large pine forest is considered a forbidden area for him.

The back mountain of Hongmeng Academy is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy. The immortals of the academy specially opened up several caves here for the retreat and practice of high-level disciples. Only Tianzi-level disciples can use it.

The Lingxu Cave where Feng Qi retreated is also here.

There are disciples sent by Tianshu Xianjun to guard the outside of Lingxu Cave all day long, and a protective barrier is added to completely isolate the inside and outside.

Ji Zhaoyun didn't approach, just looked at the cave entrance from a distance, and sighed silently.

Before Feng Qi retreated, he said it would be more than ten days soon, but now the time limit has come, but there is still no sign of going out.

Miss him so much.

Knowing that the person you miss is just across the wall, but you can't see it for so long, this feeling is really exhausting.

Ji Zhaoyun lowered his eyes and hid his figure behind a tree, a ray of light flew out from his sleeve.

The faint silver light turned into a slender little dragon, which quietly approached the entrance of the cave guarded by the disciples.

Ji Chaoyun naturally understood that even if his consciousness came out of his body, he still couldn't enter the barrier.But at least this way, I can get closer to him.The little silver dragon squatted in the grass at the entrance of the cave, looking up at the huge translucent barrier in front of him, the dragon's beard drooped down in frustration.

Suddenly, there was a gust of wind at the entrance of the cave, which stirred the grass.

"?" Ji Zhaoyun felt his body lighten, and was swept straight into the cave by the gust of wind.

Calm was restored outside Lingxu Cave, a disciple yawned, tilted his head and asked, "Did the barrier move just now?"

"No, who can open the enchantment set by Tianshu Xianzun himself."

"Right……"

The little silver dragon was floated by the breeze and walked through the corridor to a larger space.After he entered, the enchantment was automatically repaired, completely blocking the sound from outside the cave.

The furnishings in the cave are simple, only a stone bed for meditation, and the stone wall automatically glows with a faint white light, and the whole cave can be seen at a glance.

But no one is there.

Ji Chaoyun looked around suspiciously, and just as he changed back into a human form and stood up, he was pulled from behind.

His feet were empty, and in the next second, he fell on the stone bed on the other side of the cave.A warm body covered him, blocking all his voice in his throat.

The familiar breath instantly filled his mouth, Ji Chaoyun opened his mouth obediently, and was kissed deeply by the other party.

After a while, Feng Qi raised his head, with a smile in his eyes: "Miss me?"

Only seeing each other for more than ten days, Feng Qi is not quite the same as before.

The cultivation and spiritual power in his body became more mellow and natural, but on the outside it looked far less sharp than before, and even the invisible sense of oppression was subdued to a minimum.

Ji Zhaoyun stared at him blankly.

The more this person is like this, the closer he is to the appearance in his memory.

"Why don't you talk, are you scared?"

"I..." Just as Ji Zhaoyun opened his mouth, someone bit the corner of his lips.

Feng Qi rubbed the tip of his nose against Ji Chaoyun's side face affectionately, his voice still aggrieved: "You should be punished for not coming to see me for so many days."

Ji Chaoyun said: "I'm afraid it will affect your practice."

"Are you not afraid today?"

"I'm afraid." Ji Chaoyun whispered, "I didn't intend to come in, I just wanted to take a look outside."

Feng Qi played with Ji Chaoyun's earlobe, and said with a light smile: "What can you see outside, with this enchantment, you can't even feel my breath. How can it be better than now, the living phoenix is ​​up to you to take advantage of."

Ji Chaoyun, who had been taken advantage of, was noncommittal, but he was keenly aware of something from his words: "You have been able to break through the barrier of Tianshu Immortal Venerable?"

Feng Qi is not modest at all: "Yes, your husband and I are not very good?"

"..." Ji Chaoyun said, "I'm leaving."

"No, let me hug you for a while." Feng Qi buried his head on Ji Chaoyun's shoulder and neck, and took a deep breath, "I miss you so much, I want to see you all the time."

Ji Chaoyun asked: "Has your cultivation stabilized?"

"It's not so easy." Feng Qi said, "I just discovered recently, and I don't know why, the cultivation base in my body is far greater than I imagined. What I used before was only the tip of the iceberg. I want to completely control Freedom, I’m afraid it won’t be possible overnight.”

Ji Zhaoyun's eyelashes twitched slightly: "Then you...do you still have to retreat for a long time?"

"No, it's just that it's not stable these few days. Uncle told me not to rush out, lest my success fall short." Feng Qi kissed the corner of Ji Chaoyun's eyes, and said in a low voice, "I won't keep you waiting for too long, Master Tianbang Before, I will definitely come out."

Ji Chaoyun put his arms around Feng Qi's body, and muttered in a low voice: "But there are still four months left in the Tianbang Grand Competition."

Feng Qi smiled, and was about to say something when his expression suddenly froze: "Someone is here."

He tilted his head slightly, and said again: "It seems to be looking for you."

After Feng Qi said this, Ji Chaoyun also noticed that someone was approaching his physical body.

He froze all over, but the latter lowered his head and kissed him leisurely: "Don't worry, I'll take you out."

After a brief kiss, Ji Chaoyun only felt that he was wrapped in a gust of warm wind again, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the place where his consciousness just came out of his body.

He supported the tree trunk and stood up, subconsciously looking back in the direction of the entrance of Lingxu.

The speed at which Feng Qi's cultivation progressed...was too terrifying.

The power of the ancient gods finally began to gradually awaken in this body.

If that power is finally awakened, can his memories and divine books belonging to Feng Xiao also be restored?

Footsteps sounded behind him, and a deacon disciple hurried towards him: "Junior Brother Ji, you are really here."

Ji Zhaoyun restrained his mind and asked, "What is your brother looking for from me?"

"It was summoned by Tianshu Immortal Venerable." The disciple said, "We have received news that the market town at the foot of Hongmeng Mountain has been attacked, with heavy casualties. Immortal Venerable is about to send his disciples down the mountain to help and investigate the cause of the incident."
