Are all the love-brained villains my apprentices?

Just as Yayin was immersed in his research, he heard Li Qingwu's excited voice: "Success! Eh? Wait?"

When Yayin raised his head, the spiritual power that Li Qingwu had originally gathered in his palm had dissipated. Li Qingwu was staring at his palm in a daze, as if he could not understand what had just happened.

"Huh? This is so strange? It was clearly successful just now." Li Qingwu shook his hands, and in disbelief, he circulated his spiritual power to form seals again, trying again.

This time, the three of them watched Li Qingwu's every move carefully and saw his fleeting success.

The spiritual power flowing in Li Qingwu's palm formed a pattern on the pages of the book, but it only lasted for a few seconds. Soon, the pattern formed by the spiritual power began to shake and darken.

This situation is often caused by insufficient spiritual power supply, but looking at Li Qingwu's expression, it doesn't look like there is a shortage of spiritual power.

"Hmm?" Li Qingwu stared at his palm, puzzled. "Why? I feel like it's easy to create this pattern, but it's so difficult to maintain it. It's like a bottomless pit. No matter how much spiritual power I have, it can't support it..."

Li Qingwu expressed his feelings, returned to his original seat and sat down, with a look of annoyance on his face.

Zhu Ping'an listened to Li Qingwu's narration with some interest in his eyes, and looked at the book in Yayin's hand.

Yayin handed the book to Zhu Pingan.

Zhu Ping'an placed the book in front of himself, lowered his eyes and began to try according to the steps taught in the book.

The result was the same as Li Qingwu's, he successfully constructed the pattern, but lacked stamina.

Even Zhu Ping'an, whose cultivation had reached the second stage of foundation building, only lasted a few seconds longer than Li Qingwu.

I wish Ping An would try it once and then give up.

She frowned slightly and agreed with Li Qingwu: "Indeed."

She just felt that constructing the pattern in the book was very easy, but after the pattern was formed, it seemed to be absorbing her spiritual power endlessly.

Maintaining the continuous output of spiritual power, which was the simplest thing in the past, has become a very difficult task.

Next, Yayin and Sheng Shuzhou also tried it one by one.

The results were the same without exception.

Li Qingwu took the book again and started reading it, but after turning a few pages, he suddenly saw something and the expression on his face changed from annoyance to seriousness.

The three of them looked at Li Qingwu's reaction, and they couldn't help but feel curious, so they came forward to look at the book in Li Qingwu's hand.

On the last few pages, next to the neat and beautiful handwriting, there were a few lines of small comments, plus a few little figures with strange styles in their eyes.

The three of them looked closely and saw that those few lines of small words were Lin Wenyu's own analysis and understanding of the previous moves.

The little stick figures next to them demonstrated vividly, humorously and directly how to output spiritual power correctly.

As night fell, Lin Wenyu came to the elementary school with four books in her hands.

Lin Wenyu did not rush in, but lowered her voice and walked lightly to the window of the school.

The Changming Stone lit up the school, and the four of them still focused all their attention on studying the contents of the book and did not notice Lin Wenyu's arrival at all.

Zhu Ping'an and Li Qingwu sat together. They tried at first, but after several failures, they focused their attention back on the book in front of them.

Zhu Ping'an frowned slightly, as if he was wondering what went wrong.

Li Qingwu's face showed an extremely serious expression. She stared at the page in front of her, not missing a single word on it.

Yayin sat aside, with one hand supporting his chin on the table, and the other hand hanging naturally, with spiritual power flowing through his fingertips. His eyes were empty, as if he was thinking.

However, Sheng Shuzhou, who was standing aside, was in a different state from the others.

When Lin Wenyu arrived, she saw Sheng Shuzhou lying on the table with his face sideways after failing again, sighing deeply, as if he was ready to give up at any time.

In less than half an incense stick of time, Sheng Shuzhou calmed himself down, sat up straight, stretched out his hand to cheer himself up, and tried again.

Lin Wenyu looked out the window for a while until her eyes met those of Yayin, who was lost in thought.

"...Master?" Yayin was originally thinking about how to maintain a stable output of spiritual power, but his eyes unexpectedly met Lin Wenyu's. He was a beat slow to react before Yayin called out the name.

The other three also looked in the direction of Yayin's gaze, especially Li Qingwu and Sheng Shuzhou, who seemed to have seen a savior the moment they saw Lin Wenyu.

Seeing that she was discovered, Lin Wenyu simply climbed in through the window. As soon as her feet touched the ground, Li Qingwu came up to her impatiently.

Seeing Li Qingwu's anxious gaze, Lin Wenyu chuckled and asked, "How's your study going?"

Li Qingwu thought about the failures he had just experienced and felt a little guilty, but he didn't want to lose face in front of Lin Wenyu, so he answered with a lack of confidence: "Not bad, not bad."

Lin Wenyu did not expose them. She just took Li Qingwu to sit next to the other three people and distributed the books she brought to each of them.

"Okay, take a look at the book in your hand first. If you have any questions, you can always ask me."

Although they were puzzled as to why Lin Wenyu asked them to read the book again, after an afternoon of "torturous" research, they had already memorized all its contents.

But they still opened the book obediently.
