The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#227 - Out of place

Lu Jing originally sought out Ye Gongmei only to clarify whether the black cat was a strange creature and what its purpose was, but he didn't expect that after a series of actions, he would inexplicably find himself another teacher.

However, Beast Mastery was indeed quite useful. Even if it was just the Jianghu skills within it, learning it would be useful in many places in the future.

Since Lu Jing had decided not to touch anything related to mystic power, he naturally had to find a way to use the extra time. Now it seemed that learning Beast Mastery from Ye Gongmei was also a good choice.

For example, he had just learned a few cat-stroking techniques from Ye Gongmei, intending to use them on the black cat later.

After finding the reason for the black cat's attacks, Lu Jing's mentality also underwent some changes.

He no longer blamed the former, after all, he himself had cosplayed as a black cat in his dream, and could feel the other party's strong desire for those strange fortunes.

It was as if it was an instinct rooted in the blood that could not be resisted!

Ye Gongmei also warned him that if he wanted to control strange creatures, he could not violate their behavioral patterns. Even the most powerful Beast Mastery could not achieve this.

What the supervisors can actually do is to find ways to use these behavioral patterns of strange creatures to make them work for them.

Lu Jing had previously learned from Supervisor Huang that there had always been two factions within the Sitianjian.

One faction advocated a stricter attitude towards strange creatures, preferably to kill them all, while the other faction was more moderate and pragmatic.

If Gu Zhongling, whom Lu Jing encountered in Biyou Dongtian, belonged to the former, then Ye Gongmei undoubtedly belonged to the latter.

Perhaps because of her origin in Beast King Valley, Ye Gongmei always firmly believed that even the most dangerous beasts could be tamed.

However, Ye Gongmei also admitted that in many cases, when the situation was critical, there was not enough time to tame the strange creatures. In addition, for some very powerful and dangerous strange creatures, it might be a better choice to destroy them directly or keep them properly stored.

Lu Jing found that he might be more receptive to Ye Gongmei's point of view because he had not suffered too much from strange creatures.

So, he also planned to try to tame the black cat, which could be regarded as putting his Beast Mastery skills to practical use.

However, Lu Jing then thought of another question.

If this black cat was a strange creature, then what was A'mu?

More than a month ago, when he took A'mu to the Sitianjian to register, the man in blue threw a penny into the judge's mouth, asking the judge to determine whether A'mu had ever done evil.

Now it seemed that the Pixiu at that time was not looking at A'mu at all, but at the black cat on A'mu's head.

In that case, didn't he mistakenly register the black cat's household on A'mu's head?

Thinking of this, Lu Jing couldn't help but frown again. He didn't know whether the Pixiu under the Guanjinglou had mistakenly chosen the black cat between A'mu and the black cat, or whether it had never regarded A'mu as a strange creature at all.

If it was the former, it would be fine. At worst, he would take A'mu to the Sitianjian again, but if it was the latter… …

Lu Jing shook his head, trying to drive this absurd thought out of his head.

In the next two days, Lu Jing spent his time practicing the Fire Scale Armor and the Wind and Cloud Change.

Compared to other freshmen in the academy who had already begun to practice mystic power, he, who was still practicing martial arts, seemed somewhat out of place.

Although Xia Huai and Yang Tao were deliberately keeping the secret that he could not practice mystic power, the result of the character test that day somehow spread out, and soon it was widely known.

In fact, by the evening of the second day, no one in the academy did not know about Lu Jing's ridiculously bad cultivation talent.

Many people felt sorry for him, but more people secretly breathed a sigh of relief while feeling sorry.

There was no way, who made Lu Jing so prominent during this period? This name was full of drama from the moment it appeared in everyone's sight.

He was not from a famous sect, his master was not even a third-rate master, he practiced the Little Vajra Strength that was everywhere, and he had never even been on the Qingyun Ranking before. As a result, as soon as he showed his face, he stepped into the Tianji Ranking in one step.

He became one of the only two first-rate masters under the age of twenty, along with Yan Yun. After that, he shone brightly in the assessment and broke the stay record in the Desert Ancient Tomb.

Then, he turned the Eight Views of the academy into Seven Views, directly destroying Biyou Dongtian.

Even if Lu Jing himself had never bragged about it, such a person was enough to put pressure on others just by existing in this world.

Even Yan Yun, who had always been known as the number one person of the younger generation, had her brilliance rarely overshadowed by Lu Jing during this period.

Everyone was speculating about what kind of amazing performance Lu Jing would have after practicing mystic power.

As a result, the amazement was indeed amazing, but it was amazing in another way.

It was indeed one in a million to have such a bad aptitude, and many people had already started betting on when the word written by Lu Jing would turn golden.

Sure enough, in this world, besides Yan Yun, there was no one who was ridiculously strong in everything.

In this way, God was still fair, giving Lu Jing terrifying martial arts aptitude but not giving him talent in cultivation.

So, many people who had been overwhelmed by Lu Jing before felt that they had another chance.

After all, although the academy embraces all rivers and teaches without discrimination, everyone knows that the most core part is related to mystic power.

If someone cannot practice mystic power, it is like entering a treasure mountain but only being able to return empty-handed.

Although their aptitude in martial arts might not be as good as Lu Jing, after three years of cultivation, their strength might be able to suppress Lu Jing, which made many people more enthusiastic about practicing mystic power.

The academy naturally welcomes such healthy competition.

However, friends like Xia Huai and Yang Tao, who had a closer relationship with Lu Jing, couldn't help but worry about Lu Jing, fearing that he would not be able to accept this huge gap.

However, Lu Jing himself did not seem to care much about the matter of not being able to cultivate. He did not care about the eyes of others on weekdays, and even went to the lecture hall as usual.

That's right, although he had asked Professor Zheng for leave and no longer studied mystic power, he still selectively listened to other courses in the academy.

In fact, Lu Jing found that the teaching arrangement of the academy was very similar to that of a university in his previous life, which was also a compulsory plus elective mode.

There were three courses that every freshman had to listen to, and the rest depended on personal interests.
