I Can Record Wonders

Chapter 15: Deceiving Others and Leading Trouble East

Hoo~

Fu Ning let out a sigh.

[Fu Ning

Age: 15

Condition: Seriously injured (Origin Qi loss), hungry

Lifespan: 10 days (can be increased by replenishing Origin Qi)/60 (Ancient Jade Life Extension)

Realm: Scenic Scholar

Wonders: Jambu Vortex]

By visualizing the Cloud Spirit Turtle in the inner landscape, one can activate the "Turtle Breathing Technique" and breathe in Origin Qi.

With the supplement of Origin Qi, his lifespan has finally increased to 10 days. In addition, the Ancient Jade can condense Origin Qi, allowing his lifespan to reach two months.

This can be considered a temporary solution to the urgent situation.

However, it is only a temporary relief.

Because his Spirit Organ was taken away and his foundation was destroyed.

If it cannot be completely replenished, the Origin Qi in his body will continue to dissipate.

So Fu Ning's current situation is like a classic elementary school math problem.

There is a pool with two pipes.

One is a drain pipe, and the other is a water inlet pipe.

He must ensure that the water inflow is greater than the outflow.

Only then can he survive safely.

If the pool is emptied, he will die.

When Fu Ning was being raised, he once heard a Scenic Scholar who was also imprisoned say.

There are countless wonders in this world. Some wonders, after enlightenment, can directly increase one's talent and repair one's foundation.

But Fu Ning has just become a Scenic Scholar.

Those wonders are too elusive for him.

"I still need to think long-term."

He is now an injured young beast.

What he should do is not wander around, but find a quiet place to hide.

Carefully sharpen his claws.

The simple word is 'endure'.

Three thousand Great Dao, only the path of endurance will last forever.

"Spirit Turtle Island is not a bad choice."

Spirit Turtle Island is isolated overseas, rarely visited by people. It is an excellent place for enduring cultivation.

As the saying goes, it's good to seek shade under a big tree.

With the protection and resources of a sect, he can also cultivate in peace and strive to open the 'Little Yellow Courtyard' as soon as possible.

To join Spirit Turtle Island, there is only one requirement.

That is to comprehend the wonder of 'Spirit Turtle's Breath'.

Now Fu Ning has met this requirement and should be able to join at any time.

"No!" He quickly dismissed the idea of joining immediately.

The fastest record of enlightenment on Spirit Turtle Island belongs to Yun Niang, but she only succeeded in enlightenment after entering Sitting Oblivion Beach twice.

He has only entered once. If he exposes himself rashly, it will inevitably raise suspicion.

"It seems that I have to go to Sitting Oblivion Beach a few more times."

Anyway, when White Cloud Scenic Master gave him the ancient jade pendant, he said that it could help him extend his life for more than a month.

As long as he joins within this period of time.

With this in mind, he exited the visualization state.

Outside the cabin, the sky had already darkened.

Huo Ya'er was still sitting at the bow of the ship, fishing for cat-eye clams. "Fish brother! Cat-eye clams!"

"All cat-eye clams!"

Perhaps it was the first time he had seen so many cat-eye clams, the excitement on his face had not yet subsided.

Even when he spoke, his voice was trembling.

And under his feet were all the cat-eye clams he had just caught.

At a rough estimate, there were at least twenty or thirty.

Fu Ning smiled and nodded, "Very good, you are now a qualified clam fishing expert!"

He now had nearly thirty king crabs.

These thirty king crabs were almost spread throughout the entire abandoned ship bay.

Even if the quantity increased, the harvest would probably not change much.

Unless he explored new waters.

But Fu Ning knew that this clam fishing method must be kept secret at this stage.

Otherwise, it would be easy to expose.

At this moment, the night grew darker and the tide rose.

Huo Yar's unfinished excitement caused him to put away all the king crabs.

Today's luck was quite good.

In just one afternoon, they successfully caught twenty-nine cat's eye clams.

And after a discussion between the two, they discovered that these cat's eye clams had produced a total of three pearls.

Adding the two remaining pearls from before, Fu Ning now had five pearls in his hand.

He picked out one pearl with slightly lower quality from the five pearls and handed it to Huo Yar.

"Huo Yar, we don't have much food and fresh water on the island. You're more familiar with it, so I'll rely on you to get some tomorrow."

"And about our clam fishing, we must keep it a secret."

Huo Yar understood the importance of this and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, Brother Fish. Although I may have a loose mouth, I never let any words slip."

As an orphan, he understood the most important principle, which was that people's hearts were unfathomable.

So there was no need for Fu Ning to say more, and he wouldn't reveal a single word to others.

Because it was already late.

After taking the pearl, Huo Yar left the bay.

Fu Ning simply ate some dry rations and entered a state of meditation once again.

...

Left-foot Lane.

Cheng Family.

Among the four major families on Spirit Turtle Island, the Cheng family was the weakest.

There was no other reason than the fact that the Cheng family had a small number of Scenic Scholars in recent years.

In this world, it ultimately came down to the survival of the fittest.

Whoever had the strongest strength had the right to speak.

The Cheng family had the fewest Scenic Scholars on Spirit Turtle Island, so their right to speak was naturally the weakest.

Especially in recent years, Left-foot Lane had fallen into decline.

At this moment, the sky was getting dark.

In a small courtyard at the deepest part of the alley.

Crying sounds could be heard.

Since returning home, Meiniang had been sobbing quietly in bed.

The other two people in the room, one sat by the bed while the other paced anxiously.

"What's going on?"

"Why were you forbidden from entering Sitting Oblivion Beach?!"

Cheng An, dressed in a black robe, had a hint of anger in his eyes. He occasionally glanced at Meiniang on the bed, seemingly waiting for her to explain.

Being unable to enter Sitting Oblivion Beach for meditation was equivalent to cutting off the hope of cultivation and cutting off one's own future.

But the more anxious he asked, the more Meiniang refused to speak.

So he could only walk back and forth in the room.

"Good daughter, please say something."

The woman sitting by the bed looked somewhat similar to Meiniang, but she had a plump figure and a touch of charm. However, in her gaze, there was always a hint of coldness.

"What about Yun Niang?!"

"Why didn't she come back with you?!"

Upon hearing the name "Yun Niang," Meiniang couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.

Cheng An stopped in his tracks, his expression uncertain.

Cheng Shi's gaze turned cold. "Alright, it's indeed related to that little wench!"

"I knew she would be a disaster for our family sooner or later!"

Her voice was sharp, as if it carried a murderous intent.

After cursing, she even glared fiercely at Cheng An.

Cheng An's expression tightened, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

At this moment, Meiniang couldn't hold back her grievances any longer and recounted what had happened today, bursting out like a bean.

"What? Yun Niang had an epiphany?!"

Upon hearing this news, Cheng Shi's face immediately turned pale.

Once someone had an epiphany, it meant they had become a Scenic Scholar.

In other words, she was no longer the little wench who could be easily manipulated.

"Disaster! Disaster!"

Cheng Shi gritted her teeth and cursed.

At this time, Cheng An furrowed his brows. "Where did that consumptive ghost come from?"

Cheng Shi's expression changed. She suddenly remembered the dead person Yun Niang had brought home not long ago: Could it be him?!

"Now we need to think about how to pass Zheng Xitu's test."

"Zheng old ghost is indeed troublesome. We need to find a way to delay."

These few chapters were actually setting up the plot, so they were relatively plain.
