Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 39 Prejudice?

In the following days, Jiang Ning, despite being busy, always managed to find time to check on the transformer box.

Each time after he finished body refining, a sword qi would slice through electrical wires, another sword qi would sever the water pipes.

In fact, with Jiang Ning's strength, he could have easily relied on the Concealing Qi Technique to sneak into the factory and destroy all their processing machinery at once, forcing them to halt work for at least half a month.

But he didn't do that. Jiang Ning had an overwhelming advantage over them in terms of strength, and he didn't feel like wiping them out all at once. He preferred to add some fun to his life.

Was it like playing a tower push competitive game, with Jiang Ning starting at max level with divine gear while the opponent was just a level one hero who could only afford an iron sword?

No, the opponent was just a minion in the riverway.

Did he need to take the minions seriously?

It was just a matter of closing his eyes and casually tossing skills.

That guy named Yan Bo was recently in excruciating pain, while Jiang Ning was having quite a good time.

Compared to eliminating villains with a single strike, Jiang Ning preferred to torment them slowly.

...

Nighttime, in his rented room.

Jiang Ning was sitting cross-legged, refining elixir pills. After several days of continuous production of Qi Gathering Pills, he had become more adept, keeping the success rate at around eighty percent and refining two to three batches of elixir pills every night.

By now, he had amassed over one hundred pills.

Elixir pills were inexpensive to make, and whether for cultivation, mana recovery, or body refining, Jiang Ning swallowed elixir pills as if they were candy.

He took several pills a day, just like eating meals, keeping his mana at peak condition at all times.

Spiritual power nourished his body, and the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Body Tempering Technique received a boost like a supplement, leading to significant improvements in his body cultivation progress.

Only in the aspect of Refining God, Jiang Ning was somewhat troubled. Relying solely on the "Golden Mysterious Separation God Technique" wasn't enough to quickly improve his Divine Sense.

In the modern society where Jiang Ning resided, the most effective method was the Divine Sense Attack Technique. The "Shocking God Stab" he used against Song Sheng was one of them.

If his Divine Sense had been strong enough, he could've turned Song Sheng into an idiot with a single strike, all unnoticed.

To improve his Divine Sense, Jiang Ning specifically searched the internet for pictures of various herbs and trees, looking for things that could enhance the strength of his Divine Sense. To his surprise, he actually found a rare item.

It was a spice he had used before in the Cultivation World, known as the "Soul Suppressing Fragrance."

After recognizing the "Soul Suppressing Fragrance," he tried to purchase it online, but unfortunately, he couldn't find a source.

He then remembered a herbal medicine dealer he had worked with in the past.

After contacting the dealer, the professional indeed knew about the herb, but it was expensive, costing nearly three thousand yuan per tael, and he had to wait for the Soul Suppressing Fragrance to arrive.

Jiang Ning contacted two more herbal medicine dealers, and the responses were nearly identical.

It was just a matter of waiting for about ten days or so.

However, to purchase Soul Suppressing Fragrance, Jiang Ning didn't have enough money on hand.

The Soul Suppressing Fragrance, a seasoning that needed refining with spiritual energy before use, would require significant daily consumption. He estimated that the cost of daily Refining God practice would be at least a few thousand yuan.

"Next holiday, I'll go sell some more gold," Jiang Ning thought.

...

Grade 11, class 8, English teacher Chen Haiyang was giving a lecture.

After a few days since school started, teachers from different subjects had visited the class a couple of times, and the students were mostly familiar with them.

Students also figured out which teachers' classes allowed phone use and which didn't.

For example, during the current class with Chen Haiyang, it was absolutely forbidden to play with phones. Just two days earlier, an unlucky student had his phone confiscated for doing so, and it was handed over to the class head teacher, Shan Qingrong.

Therefore, students like Ma Shicheng at the back of the room were behaving well, earnestly following along with their textbooks.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ning was busy refining pills to enhance his cultivation progress.

Jiang Ning estimated that it would take at least half a month to break through to the Qi Cultivation Second Level.

Although one Qi Gathering Pill was equivalent to three days of cultivation, that didn't mean swallowing ten pills a day was the same as cultivating for thirty days.

The strength of the meridians at the Qi Cultivation First Layer limited him; the pills he refined were of lower quality, containing spiritual energy that wasn't pure enough. From the second pill onward each day, the marginal improvement was much smaller, and even if he swallowed ten at once, he wouldn't reach the true cultivation speed of a proper Qi Gathering Pill.

Jiang Ning estimated that starting from the second Qi Gathering Pill each day, he only gained about ten percent speed. Taking ten pills at once, the cultivation speed only went from three to four, far from the genuine seven of a proper Qi Gathering Pill, and the excess medicinal power would just accumulate in his body.

If he took too much at once, Jiang Ning's meridians couldn't handle the medicinal power.

To speed up his cultivation, he had to start with the quality of medicinal herbs.

He needed better medicinal herbs, preferably those nourished by a Spiritual Power Formation.

While Jiang Ning was cultivating on one side, Chen Haiyang began to ask questions randomly on the other. Once Chen Haiyang started calling on students, the atmosphere in the back of the classroom instantly became tense.

Jiang Ning swept the room with his Divine Sense and easily saw Ma Shicheng and a few others trembling. However, Chen Haiyang's questioning was always like this, the more you feared, the more he targeted you.

Ma Shicheng was called upon,

Ma Shicheng stood up,

Ma Shicheng stuttered.

Chen Haiyang told Ma Shicheng to stand and listen to the lesson, then continued calling on students. This question was quite difficult, and after calling on three students in a row, not one could answer.

At that point, Chen Haiyang shouted, "Dong Qingfeng, you answer it."

Dong Qingfeng, being a top student, unsurprisingly answered correctly.

Ma Shicheng's face looked awful.

It continued until the English class was over, when he muttered under his breath, "Does the baldy have an illness?"

"Did I provoke him? Why does he love to pick on me so much?"

He was extremely angry. Geng Lu, who was sitting in the front row, originally wanted to make a snide remark, but seeing his demeanor, decided not to add fuel to the fire.

After cursing a few times, Ma Shicheng felt much less angry and went out to the restroom.

Geng Lu turned back to Jiang Ning and said, "That was a close call just now. I actually didn't know the answer to that question either. If he had caught me, I probably would have had to stand for the rest of the class."

For boys it might be okay, but for girls standing through a class, it would be really embarrassing.

"Jiang Ning, are you good at English?"

"Not bad," replied Jiang Ning.

He noticed that Geng Lu really liked to chat, as she frequently turned her head to speak to him these past few days.

He responded half-heartedly as usual.

After a while, Ma Shicheng returned from the restroom, his face completely pale as though he had been terribly frightened.

"What happened to you?" Jiang Ning asked him.

Ma Shicheng, still in a state of shock, replied, "My legs went weak just now!"

"I just came out of the restroom and saw a faceless person. Do you know what a faceless person is?"

"It has no nose, no lips, almost no features sticking out on its face!"

"A flat-faced person!"

His eyes were filled with fear as he spoke.

Geng Lu frowned and said, "What kind of joke is this?"

"I'm serious, I'm not lying to you!" Ma Shicheng wished he could swear to the heavens, as the scare had almost stopped his heart.

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and asked, "Was it a girl?"

"Yes, yes, yes, she was wearing clothes styled for a girl!" Ma Shicheng seemed to have found a savior.

"I see. I know that girl. She was disfigured by a fire before."

"That makes sense... and here I thought I saw a monster." Ma Shicheng scratched his head, feeling significantly less fear knowing it was just a girl who had been in a fire.

Ma Shicheng took a moment to collect himself before saying,

"I'm not disgusted by her, I just find it strange that our Fourth Middle School would enroll such a student. I'm not usually scared easily, but even I got frightened. I can't imagine if she were in my class, or sitting in front of me, and if she turned her head, I would certainly jump in fright!"

Geng Lu felt it was too cruel and said, "You shouldn't talk about others this way. Everyone has the right to an education."

Ma Shicheng retorted, "You haven't seen her, or else you would definitely think the same as me. It's too scary!"

"What do you think about this, Jiang Ning?"

Both of them looked at Jiang Ning, awaiting his response.

"I'll just sit back and watch." Jiang Ning said indifferently. He was free and had nothing else to do before involving himself in others' quarrels.
