Chapter Thirty-Two: Possessed by the Fire

  Before ten o'clock, Gu Quan and Bao Guoqiang both returned to their rooms with seven or eight parts of intoxication. Qu Wen didn't drink much but his face was already flushed red. Having secretly absorbed the spiritual energy from Su San's colorful bird cage earlier, coupled with drinking some wine, his body was like a raging fire that was constantly rising. If Gu Quan and the others still didn't plan to return to their rooms, he would have to find an excuse to leave.

  Back in the house, Qu Wen immediately sat cross-legged like a monk meditating, seemingly more formal and like a practitioner. However, he didn't know how to calm down the fierce fire burning inside his body, and after sitting for half a day, his body became even hotter. In his heart, he secretly cursed, that pig-headed master in heaven indeed lived up to his name, not explaining anything clearly before passing on the technique to him.

  "It wasn't said that this divine art doesn't require effort to cultivate, so why has it become so unbearable, feeling like I'm about to go mad. Could it be that I need to expel the excess spiritual energy from my body!" Qu Wen's heart was filled with reluctance, and he couldn't bear to spit out what he had eaten. The key was that he didn't know how to release it.

  "Must I find a beauty to practice the dual cultivation technique?" Qu Wen had an evil thought, his mouth curled up in a lewd smile, but it was only for a flash and he immediately shook his head violently. He wasn't one of those guys who thought with their dicks, relying on women to relieve themselves, without emotional foundation, it always felt like something was missing.

  And besides, Qingwen is still a virgin and doesn't plan on ruining her first time!

  "It would be great if Su Ya Xin were here..."

  The words that had been murmured subconsciously in his heart were suddenly spoken out loud, startling himself. How could he think of her at this time? But what couldn't be denied was that he had a considerable good impression of Su Yaxin, and even hoped she could become his girlfriend.

  Although the fierce fire in his body was burning more and more fiercely, Qu Wen couldn't find a way to relieve it, so he simply lay down on the bed. However, after lying down for a short while, he felt that the heat in his body was spreading throughout his body with the posture of lying down, transmitted through the spine to various places, and constantly filling every meridian in his body, rapidly expanding and contracting, looking like a big fire burning from the inside out, about to burst out of his body.

  As the heat flow accelerated, Qu Wen seemed to be really set on fire, and he couldn't help but let out a few painful hums. His whole body trembled non-stop as the flames danced around him. It felt like being thrown into the mouth of an erupting volcano, slowly burning every inch of his skin.

  But what's strange is that although the body was burning like fire, the brain remained clear-headed all along, and the line of sight seemed to become even clearer, able to see very clearly the flow of blood inside the body.

  "Could it be that he had unintentionally cultivated the Inner Sight technique of the Cultivation Realm?"

  Qu Yun's mind was filled with regret, but he didn't know that this set of divine arts wasn't suitable for modern people to practice. The pollution in the modern world was too severe, affecting the entire planet's environment and causing a drastic decrease in spiritual energy. Zhu Bajie had originally taught Qu Yun this set of divine arts, hoping that he could slowly absorb the spiritual energy from nature and stimulate the growth of his divine arts.

  But Zhu Bajie didn't know that as humans made progress, they also accelerated the destruction of nature. The spiritual energy in the air has decreased significantly compared to before, directly leading to a sharp decline in the number of powerful people in various sects on Earth. The so-called masters and immortals on the streets are actually just charlatans who swindle money.

  The text translates to:

  "Zhu Wen obtained the Ling Jue Shen Tong from Zhu Bajie, and unintentionally discovered that the antique gemstone had lingering spiritual energy that could be absorbed for personal use. Without gradual circulation, the entire Ling Jue Gong Fa was like a starving refugee who ate too much at once, which would inevitably lead to problems. Fortunately, Zhu Bajie's Ling Jue Shen Tong was a relatively mild technique among immortal methods, causing minimal damage to the body. If guided properly, it could still produce good absorption effects."

  At this time, the heat energy in Quwen's body is like a full water dam, constantly rising and rushing to the brain. If it burns for a while, it will definitely burn out the disease and waste the spiritual energy that has just been absorbed, evaporating it all away under high heat.

  Fortunately, Quwen's temperament is quite casual and can even be said to be a bit lazy. When he couldn't think it through, he simply lay down, unintentionally leveling off the gradually rising water level in his body, relaxing his entire body and activating the potential of every part of his body. Clearly and distinctly feeling the changes within his body gave Quwen a sense of having an almost extrasensory perception.

  As the flame circled around his body, Qu Wen's eyebrows suddenly relaxed, and he felt that the flame circulating in his meridians had slowly dissipated, gradually turning into a comfortable feeling. It was as if a young girl was massaging his entire body, making him feel so comfortable that his soul was about to leave his body. Gradually, with the comfortable feeling spreading throughout his body, he sank deeply into sleep, snoring loudly.

  At dawn, the east rises with a red glow, gently lifting the soft veil of fog. The sunlight quietly slips through the clouds and sends in a warm ray.

  Qu Wen got out of bed, lazily stretching his limbs, a good night's sleep brought endless energy, as if his whole body was renewed, radiating vigorous vitality.

  "Xiao Lin is up early!" Qu Wen walked out of the house and ran into Bao Xiao Lin who was getting ready for school.

  Upon hearing the shout, Bao Xiaolin turned her head to look back and was momentarily stunned. It had only been one night, but the other person seemed like a completely different person. Although their appearance hadn't changed, their skin had become pale and translucent, naturally exuding an air of extraordinary confidence that made them appear elegant and refined, with a fullness of spirit. Adding to this was the slightly evil glint in their eyes, which for girls, had an even more lethal charm.

  "Good morning, Brother Qu!" Bao Xiaolin's face was flushed with a mixture of shyness and happiness. Although Qu Wen called her father "Big Brother", she and he were not far apart in age, so they addressed each other as siblings, and she also called him "Brother".

  "It just so happens that our class is having a party in two days, would you like to come with me? " Bao Xiaolin took two steps forward, hesitated for a moment and then turned back to ask Qu Wen. It wasn't because Qu Wen's changed demeanor had attracted her, but rather after many days of interaction she felt that Qu Wen was still a decent person, which is why she had this idea.

  "What kind of nature is the alumni association?" Qu Wen rarely participated in such college gatherings, and in his memory, university gatherings were mostly places where lovers came and went, having nothing to do with him.

  "It's just an ordinary gathering, after next year everyone will enter the most brutal stage of the college entrance examination sprint."

  "Gaokao..."

  For the college entrance examination, everyone has different memories. Qu Wen's college entrance examination was like a mere formality. Having been suspended for a long time, studying couldn't keep up and there was no hope of getting good grades, as long as it wasn't too embarrassing, at least don't disappoint parents' expectations over the years, hoping to smoothly pass the university exam.

  Fortunately, Qu Wen's original academic performance was still passable, and with a few months of review, it didn't fall to the point of being completely unrecognizable. In the end, he barely managed to get into a second-tier university.

  During the suspension, a class reunion was also held, but unfortunately, Qu Wen happened to have a high fever and was lying in the hospital, unable to participate in the class's collective activities, which was somewhat regrettable for him.

  "Alright." Qu Wen agreed on impulse. Then he asked again: "Should I tell your father about it?"

  Bao Xiaolin hastily covered her mouth with her slender fingers, making a gesture to keep her voice down: "Whatever you do, don't let my dad know about this, or he'll definitely go on and on about how I must focus on studying for life and refuse to let me out."

  "Then you dare to go, aren't you afraid he'll find out afterwards?"

  "Afterwards, I'll come back to play." Bao Xiaolin gave a sly look, waved her hand at Qu Wen and ran out of the yard, shouting as she went: "You promised me before, don't go back on your word!"

  It wasn't until now that Qu Wen realized that the other party had planned ahead, setting a trap and waiting for him to fall into it.

  "Nowadays kids are all so clever!" Qu Wen shook his head, not thinking that he was only a few years older than Bao Xiaolin, and in the eyes of Gu Quan and others, he was also just a kid.
