24 Chapter 24 – Lei Shu Academy
As soon as Zhu Xuan entered the Alchemy pavilion, he was welcomed with medicinal aroma from his surroundings.
He was a famous scientist in Earth, and he worked with medicines and chemicals all the time. So he felt familiar and comfortable at the pavilion. Zhu Xuan and Zhu Meiying passed through floors and reached the top floor. They entered a grand room filled with herbs and a medicinal cauldron at the centre.
Zhu Xuan looked ahead and found no one. Before he could ask where his aunt is, he was hit in his head and an angry voice came from right behind him "You brat, you won't come meet me and instead run around and create trouble in the clan. I had to send someone to get you to meet me huh?"
Zhu Xuan touched his hurting head and turned around to see a middle aged woman wearing white robe standing behind him. Even though she was middle aged, she looked like she is in early twenties. She looked angry; she was clearly upset he didn't come to meet her even after five days.
Zhu Xuan gave a silly smile and apologised "I'm sorry Aunt Jia Li, I had some important things to take care of, so I didn't have time to visit and I was planning to visit you soon before Tenth sister visited me to get me here."
Zhu Jia Li humphed and said "What important matters, you were just creating trouble." She then looked at him with a scrutinising look and asked "Heard you killed a clan member in public yesterday. You look like you have changed since you got back and even activated you elemental roots."
Zhu Xuan retracted his silly smile and seriously said "Anyone will change after going through what I went through Aunt Jia Li. You would have already guessed who is behind all this, and if not for I'm extremely lucky and escaped, I would have died there definitely. And the person I killed is the one who led us to ambush and ran away under second brother's order, and I don't regret killing him."
Zhu Jia Li understood why Zhu Xuan acted this way. She became sad and said with guilt "I'm sorry Little Xuan. I didn't expect your second brother would act with such cruelty, and I was in the closed door cultivation, refining Pill and only learnt about everything after it was too late."
Zhu Xuan understood her well. Even in the past, when no one else cared about him, his aunt helped him and always stood by him like a mother. He knew she would have faced a lot of problems helping him, but she still stood by him and he felt grateful towards her. He smiled and said "I know you care for me Aunt Jia Li and I'm always grateful towards you. Even though second brother schemed against me and I almost died, it did help me activate my elemental roots and become strong."
It's not that Zhu Xuan didn't trust her aunt, but he felt Origin system and anything related to it should be kept to himself and shouldn't be shared with anyone else or he believed he will face endless trouble.
Zhu Jia Li relaxed after she heard that and also felt happy for her nephew. She had heard about people activating their elemental roots in life and death situation, even though the chances are one in a billion and was happy that chance came to her nephew.
She suddenly became serious and said in a steady tone "Little Xian, even though you activated your elemental roots, you shouldn't go create trouble and be very careful. Your second brother has too many people behind him in the clan. I will support you from anyone acting against you, but even though they won't act against you in open, they may do something in the dark and you should be careful of such matters."
Zhu Xuan understood the issue and that is the reason he is trying to get stronger as soon as possible, then he thought of something and asked "I will be careful Aunt. I heard Second brother is not in the clan. Where did he go and when will he return?"
Zhu Jia Li understood his thoughts and said "He left to Lei Shu Academy to breakthrough to Qi gathering stage a month back, and he will be back to Qinglu city with the academy elder for the selection exams to enter Lei Shu Academy that will be held in three months."
So Zhu Lang went to Lei Shu Academy to breakthrough and when he is back, he will be at Qi Gathering stage.
Lei Shu Academy is in the capital of Lei Shu Kingdom, and all the genius of the kingdom went there to study. They had powerful seniors to guide the juniors in their cultivation, numerous rare techniques and mantras, rare resources and even powerful arrays and formations to help you improve in your cultivation faster. The academy is respected by everyone in the kingdom, and its no wonder Zhu Lang went there to breakthrough, since he has high possibility of breaking through using the resources of the academy.
Then he thought about the selections of the Lei Shu Academy. Every five years, Lei Shu Academy chooses 20 members among the clan members from the prominent clans in each city to be the outer court disciple of Lei Shu academy. The clan members who can participate should be below 20 years old and belongs to the five prominent clans. Not only they will be accepted by the academy, the first three among the selected also will receive great rewards. Zhu Lang was selected in the previous selection five years back and entered top three among the selected individuals of Lei Shu academy from Qinglu city.
Zhu Xuan began thinking about the information he has gained and formed a plan. He thought "Zhu Lang will definitely try to kill me once he comes back, and he has practically the whole clan's backing him and no one will go against him if he wants to kill me. The only way out for me is to get selected by Lei Shu academy in the selections in three months. I not only need to get selected, I need to get to top three if I need the backing of Lei Shu Academy elder to stop Zhu Lang from acting against me."
He cleared his thoughts and looked at her aunt and said calmly "I need to participate and get selected in the Lei Shu Academy if I need a backing to protect myself in the future."
Zhu Jia Li was amazed at her nephew's thinking and felt happy with her nephew's change, she said with a smile "You are right Little Xuan. You need to get stronger now that you have activated your elemental root. I will provide resources and pills for you to cultivate. You don't need to worry and concentrate on improving your strength and get selected."
Zhu Xuan was against this idea. He knew he need lots of elemental resources and pills, and even though his Aunt can afford it, the news will definitely reach the other clan elders and will create trouble for her. Moreover, he decided he should face his problems and handle them on his own. But when he remembered how much he spent just yesterday, he sighed and thought "I only have 5000 gold coins left from 70000 gold coins I had. I need lots of money to train my Seven phases elemental roots, but I can't take it from Aunt Jia Li."
Suddenly a solution came to his mind. He looked at his Aunt and said firmly "Aunt Jia Li, Thank you for you willing to help me you in my cultivation, however i will take care of the issue of resources myself. But, I do have a request from you, I would like to learn alchemy from you."
Aunt Jia Li was shocked at her nephew's rejection and got angry and said "Why are you not willing to accept my help in your cultivation. You don't consider me as a family or you think me helping you will get me in trouble in the clan? You don't have to worry about it. Moreover, learning alchemy is a long path, and currently you need to concentrate solely on improving your cultivation and get selected by Lei Shu Academy."
Zhu Xuan understood her worries and said "Aunt Jia Li, it's not that I don't consider you family. I have my reasons for rejecting you in helping me with the resources and also wishing to learn alchemy from you."
As he said that, Zhu Xuan released his Eighth level Body purification stage Aura and his elemental Qi.
He was a famous scientist in Earth, and he worked with medicines and chemicals all the time. So he felt familiar and comfortable at the pavilion. Zhu Xuan and Zhu Meiying passed through floors and reached the top floor. They entered a grand room filled with herbs and a medicinal cauldron at the centre.
