Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

After the four left Tiger's Mouth Abyss and entered Holy Academy City, they sold the extra Water Arrow Frog corpses and Iron Flame Rhinoceros corpses. It was already late at night.

Perhaps because she had monopolized the Purple Cloud Root, Lu Yunxi did not want her share, and even the Purple Cloud Vine firmly stated that it did not need her share.

Although Senior Sister Li and Zhang Quan were puzzled by this, Lu Yunxi's attitude was very firm, and they could not force her, so they had no choice but to give up in the end.

To Lu Yunshi's surprise, before they parted ways, Zhang Quan and Senior Sister Li gave him a lot of things, saying they were his reward for entering Tiger's Mouth Abyss together.

Unlike Lu Yunxi, Lu Yunshi accepted everything without any guilt. Whether it was money or resources, these were things he desperately needed right now. Besides, he had really done a lot this time, so he deserved it, didn't he?

After entering the academy, Lu Yunxi did not go back with Senior Sister Li and Zhang Quan, but instead walked with Lu Yunshi down the mountain for a while.

"Young Miss, it's late. Aren't you going back to rest? Tiger's Mouth Abyss is fraught with danger today. You should go back early to adjust your state so that you can better cope with the upcoming assessment."

"You can't stand me?" Lu Yunxi asked coldly.

"Of course not, Miss, what are you saying? How can a servant be ashamed to be seen by his master?" Lu Yunshi smiled slightly and replied.

"Hmph." Lu Yunxi sneered, seemingly disdainful of these words.

After a while, just as Lu Yunshi was wondering what the other person meant, Lu Yunxi spoke again.

"You said before that you like to overthink things when you're bored down in the mountains?"

“Uh…” Lu Yunshi was stunned for a moment, still unsure of what the other party meant.

"It seems you really have a lot of free time. Perhaps I've given you too much time." Lu Yunxi paused as she spoke, a beautiful smile curving her lips, but her tone was icy cold.

"After this assessment at the foot of the mountain, I want to see you on the mountain. You'd better be able to do that, otherwise... hmph."

After thinking it over, she couldn't think of anything more serious than a beating, so Lu Yunxi could only snort coldly and turn her head slightly away.

"Yes, if it is your order, Miss, I will do my best to fulfill it." Although Lu Yunxi was still puzzled, he readily agreed, since he had planned to go up the mountain for this assessment anyway.

"Yes for sure!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yunxi suddenly threw something over. Lu Yunshi caught it and saw that it was one-third of the Purple Cloud Root.

Lu Yunxi pursed her lips and said in an extremely unnatural tone, "With this, even if you're completely useless, you can still break through to the late stage of Body Tempering. Use it slowly. With your current Body Tempering cultivation, swallowing it all at once will only turn you into a bloody mess."

"Young Miss, this thing is more useful to you, I think you should..."

Before Lu Yunshi could finish speaking, the girl in front of him glared at him, immediately silencing him.

"Just accept it. This is your reward for protecting me today, and it's also my request of you. You'd better do what I ask, understand?"

After saying those three words in a stern tone, Lu Yunxi quickly turned away, seemingly unwilling to stay by Lu Yunshi's side for even a moment longer.

"Sigh, women... they are truly the most difficult book to understand in this world." Lu Yunshi shook his head slightly, accepted the purple cloud root in his hand, and felt helpless about the girl's unfathomable thoughts.

After pausing for a moment, Lu Yunshi returned to his small courtyard. However, he did not immediately go inside the house. Instead, he went to the backyard where he usually grew vegetables and took out the rainbow flower that Lu Yunxi had trampled on earlier that day.

Lu Yunshi did not ignore it, but spent some time carefully working out the flowers.

Soon, Lu Yunshi found a flowerpot, placed the rainbow flower inside, and then sprinkled in some of the pesticide he usually used for growing vegetables.

"Good luck!"

After saying a few words to the dying rainbow flower in the pot, Lu Yunshi returned to his house, exhausted. Once inside, Lu Yunshi neither washed up nor cultivated, but simply sat at his desk, enjoying a moment of peace.

When he told Senior Sister Li that he liked to daydream when he was free, he wasn't just saying it casually.

Lu Yunshi closed his eyes, as if meditating, but in reality he was also reviewing the day, reflecting on whether he could have done better and where he had made a huge mistake.

He didn't possess extraordinary talent for cultivation, and the intelligence that Senior Sister Li praised him for today didn't seem to Lu Yunshi to be anything special.

He merely had an intelligence advantage, which allowed him to seize the initiative and then use a semi-transparent map cheat to make his plans.

Therefore, he needs to review his behavior in order to improve himself.

In addition, Lu Yunshi also began to think about what his next step should be.

The goal is, of course, to achieve a breakthrough, but it's time to decide which path to take.

After a long time, Lu Yunshi remembered the Purple Cloud Root that Lu Yunxi had given him.

Well, perhaps the answer already exists.

So... why is Miss acting so strangely today?

Recalling Lu Yunxi's violent behavior today, Lu Yunshi felt something was strange. He had never seen Lu Yunxi like this before. Perhaps he could ask the old blacksmith later.

Then, Lu Yunshi thought of Rainbow Flower, who was still struggling for her life outside, and his mind went blank.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yunshi suddenly opened his eyes. He walked to his bookshelf, his eyes searching extensively. After hesitating for a while, he took a book from the shelf.

Encyclopedia of the Human World, Volume 1

These are simple introductory books, but most people only glance at them and then throw them away. Lu Yunshi is probably one of the few who has read the entire series.

If I remember correctly, this book has been with me for a long time; it's quite an old relic. It seems like it's been a long time since I last read it.

Lu Yunshi picked up the book at this moment only because he remembered that there seemed to be a forgotten part hidden in the book, which might give him some answers.

Soon, Lu Yunshi found the page he wanted, which contained a picture of a rainbow flower and a detailed explanation of the rainbow flower.

Lu Yunshi's gaze quickly swept over the text, and sure enough, he found more information about the rainbow flower that he had forgotten.

The Rainbow Flower is a very rare plant that grows in the human world. When it matures, it produces seven-colored petals. Although it has no medicinal effects, it is extremely beautiful. Because of its rarity and beauty, the seven colors on the Rainbow Flower have been given the meaning of seven precious qualities in the minds of many people.

However, in the hearts of many, the rainbow flower also symbolizes unwavering loyalty.
