He opened his mouth and said, "Kid, do you know why Iām treating you to a drink today?"
Zhou Qingās face was flushed, his eyes were hazy, and his head felt heavy.
He shook his head, his tongue a bit tied, "N-no, but itās definitely a good thing... a great thing!"
The second grand uncle chuckled, "Old grandpa here will show you something nice."
After speaking, he quickly formed seals with his hands, and one spirit seal after another appeared, circling around him.
If you looked closely, there were already forty-three of them.
Itās worth noting that when the second grand uncle brought Zhou Qing to the academy, he only had thirty-seven spirit seals. And now, just three months have passed.
This shows how strong his talent is, and he had never systematically studied anything related to arrays before.
"Where is the applause?" At this moment, the second grand uncle wobbled, drunk as he was, but still full of pride.
Zhou Qing quickly drank the spirit wine in his hand, the wine dribbling down his mouth and wetting his collar.
He didnāt bother to wipe it off and started clapping his hands, eyes filled with admiration.
After showing off, the second grand uncle grabbed Zhou Qingās shoulder intimately, with a bit of drunken casualness.
"Your turn now, last time you asked me to guess, but old grandpa here was too lazy. Letās see if youāve made any progress following the teacher."
Zhou Qingās face was flushed, he waved his hand, trying to decline, but his voice was weakly, "I-I canāt, Iāll just embarrass myself."
"Kid, youāre a bit of a killjoy now, thereās no one else here, get on with it!"
The second grand uncle wasnāt willing to let him off easily, directly pushing Zhou Qing up.
Wobbling to his feet, Zhou Qing staggered, as if stepping on cotton, his whole body feeling somewhat light.
He steadied himself, "Then, Iāll not be polite."
After speaking, he also quickly formed seals with his hands, as spiritual power surged around him, one spirit seal after another appeared.
Initially, twenty spirit seals appeared one after another.
Seeing this, the second grand uncle subconsciously raised his hand to stroke his beard, wanting to put on a steady elderās pose but awkwardly found himself in a young manās appearance, with nothing under his chin.
He was dazed for a moment, then looked at Zhou Qing full of appreciation.
One had to say, this kid, to some degree, was already at the level of a prodigy.
In his twenties but already late Nascent Soul stage, a One-color Array Master, with Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown; this kind of talent and strength, future achievements would definitely go beyond the Spirit Severing Realm.
Soon, another six spirit seals appeared, causing the second grand uncleās eyes to brighten.
"This kidās good, I thought I was the only one progressing in secret..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the number of spirit seals around Zhou Qing kept increasing, as if they were free, continuously manifesting.
One after another, each with distinct forms, shining brilliantly.
Until there were sixty-six of them, then it stopped.
The second grand uncleās eyes widened, looking dazed at the scene before him, the bowl of wine in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang," spilling wine everywhere, but he didnāt notice.
I grew by six in three months, you grew by forty-six?
What kind of joke is this?
Is the gap between people so big?
The second grand uncle felt his head buzzing, the shock hard to calm down for a long time.
After a while, he came to his senses, looking at Zhou Qing, full of disbelief, "Kid, how did you cultivate?"
Zhou Qing, eyes drunk and blurry, waved his hand, mumbling, "Epiphany, sudden realization..."
Before he could finish, he fell back and passed out.
The second grand uncle stood up, looking at Zhou Qing with a complex expression, his eyes filled with shock, doubt, but more so, comfort.
At this moment, he no longer looked drunk.
"Prodigy my ass, youāre a sheer monstrosity, I wish I could take you to the frontier now, to settle my bet with that old Xuanyuan Shuo!"
The second grand uncle sighed.
"Itās good to keep a low profile, sleep well, this wine will greatly benefit your cultivation, grandpa here is looking forward to the day you break through Nascent Soul Great Perfection."
The second grand uncle directly called Yan Xiaohu to carry him away.
"Speaking of which, what kind of realm will you comprehend to cross that step to Divinity Transformation?"
The second grand uncle muttered to himself, filled with curiosity and anticipation.
...
At Divine Ruins Celestial Palace, No. 6 waited day after day, but still didnāt see Zhou Qing online.
"Could he really be mad?"
No. 6ās face was filled with guilt; she truly didnāt expect, where did that shroud come from.
Could there really be two of them?
...
Zhou Qing felt groggy, as if he was trapped in a state of confusion.
In his daze, he always felt something hovering near him, and from time to time, a warm breath wafted over, as if someone was leaning close to sniff him.
With great effort, he slowly opened his heavy eyelids.
He saw an old hen beside him stretching its neck, its beak almost poking into his nose, sniffing hard at the lingering wine scent.
Looking at Yan Xiaohu, he was also bent over, sniffing with his nose, a face full of intoxication.
After all, Yan Xiaohu had always been fond of liquor, and Zhou Qingās first time in the Precepts Hall, they had both gotten utterly drunk together.
After that drunken incident, because of , Yan Xiaohu had completely forgotten about him.
This led to a group of female disciples coming to bathe and Zhou Qing bore the embarrassing title of "Peeping Maniac."
