Dumb Student?

Lei Kongming already had enough trouble because of the Black Dragon Immortal Arts, and he definitely didn't want to fall into another trap while trying to fix it.

"Elder Sister, does it have any side effects?"

"No, it is a very simple technique. Its only use is to improve the strength of the divine consciousness," said Su Zhiyuan with great confidence, which eased Lei Kongming's worry a little.

Seeing that Lei Kongming had calmed down, Su Zhiyuan looked at the restored hall, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. Her eyes then fell on the sword which Lei Kongming usually carried with him.

"Xiao Ming, you should stop using this sword."

"Huh? Why, Elder Sister?"

"Xiao Ming! Getting a solution doesn't mean that the problem is solved," said Su Zhiyuan, with her hand on her waist in a stern tone.

At first, Lei Kongming became frightened when he heard Su Zhiyuan's stern tone, but when he heard the complete sentence, he had only one question in mind...

"Eh? Aren't only space treasures like a space ring or storage bag affected by this?"

Lei Kongming's confusion was understandable. Since he started his cultivation, he had been struck by poverty due to the Black Dragon Immortal Arts and the black orb, so he never had enough spirit stones to buy any kind of treasure.The only treasure he had was the sword given by the clan, which never had a problem. Although he encountered problems while trying to refine pills, the alchemy furnace didn't get destroyed, so he never paid attention to it.

"Did you forget about the destructive power of the Black Dragon Immortal Arts so quickly? It is attached to your Qi and will go everywhere your Qi flows. It was fine when you were in the Qi Refining realm, but now you are a Foundation Building cultivator. If you continue using this sword, it will become scrap metal after a few uses," said Su Zhiyuan, as if she had finished teaching a very dumb student.

Lei Kongming understood that the destructive power of the Black Dragon Immortal Arts would target everything his Qi touched. But suddenly, he remembered his 'crotch cannon' and threw all his questions away.

'What about being unable to use the sword? What about running everywhere naked? Is that more important than losing my virginity?' thought Lei Kongming righteously.

"Elder Sister, I want to ask... uhm... once my divine consciousness is strong enough to use the black orb... uhm... can it lock the space element in the body... I mean... if I get injured and have serious bleeding, will my blood attack my friends if it accidentally falls on them?" asked Lei Kongming hesitantly, carefully selecting his words.

Hearing Lei Kongming's question, an 'I know it all' smile appeared on Su Zhiyuan's face, which made Lei Kongming blush with embarrassment.

'Wait a minute, does she know about the crotch cannon? Does it mean that she intentionally didn't tell me about it?' thought Lei Kongming, but of course, he couldn't ask such a question.

"Theoretically, yes. Once you are able to use the black orb a little, you should be able to lock the space element in your body, and it will not leak even when you are bleeding."

Lei Kongming breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and said, "Thank you, Elder Sister, for clearing all my doubts."

Su Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's your reward for joining the 8th Peak. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Lei Kongming thought for a moment and realized there was still something he wanted to know about.

"Elder Sister, today at the lake, I was able to smash the head of a foundation-building fish with a single punch. Is this strength brought by the Black Dragon Immortal Arts or by the black orb?"

"It's because of the black orb," Su Zhiyuan explained. "Whenever you break through a major realm, the black orb purifies your body. You might not feel the effects clearly now, but as you reach higher realms, you'll understand how valuable it is."

"Elder Sister," said Lei Kongming, looking around left and right, "can anyone eavesdrop on our conversation?"

Su Zhiyuan felt a little amused by Lei Kongming's alert and suspicious look. "Don't worry, even Nascent Soul cultivators can't eavesdrop on our conversation."

Lei Kongming breathed a sigh of relief. They had been discussing the black orb and the Black Dragon Immortal Arts without paying any attention to their surroundings. He didn't want to be hunted for the treasure.

"By the way, Elder Sister, are you the owner of the green orb?" asked Lei Kongming curiously.

"Yes, I am the owner of the green orb. Also, another thing you should remember is that these orbs are of very high grade, and at your current level, you should not think too much about them and focus on your cultivation."

Su Zhiyuan didn't try to avoid the topic of the green orb and revealed her identity as its owner without shying away.

"Elder Sister, now I don't have anything else to ask…."

"Wait, take the Black Dragon Immortal Arts back. I have attached a special formation to this book. You can now pull it inside your body with your divine consciousness."

LLei Kongming mobilized his divine consciousness and tried to pull the book inside his body, but it didn't work.

"?"

Seeing Lei Kongming's questioning glance, Su Zhiyuan said, "Stupid, drop some blood on it to let it recognize you as its master."

"Ha ha," Lei Kongming gave an embarrassed laugh while dropping some blood on it. He then tried to pull it again, and this time it worked without any problem. He could now store the Black Dragon Immortal Arts inside his body and no longer needed to worry about it being stolen.

Seeing Lei Kongming's satisfied smile, Su Zhiyuan suddenly wanted to tease him but held herself back.

"Alright, here is the divine conscious strengthening technique. It doesn't have a name, so you can call it whatever you want."

Lei Kongming happily accepted the technique that would help him escape the curse of being a virgin and looked toward Su Zhiyuan.
