Chapter 565 - Blessed Without Knowing It (1/2)

On the wavy mountains on the lunarette where the Sun was scorching.

When the Moon crisis ended, the Moon became a “mooncake”. It hung high above the sky on a fixed spot, and rotated in tandem with the Earth, which brought extra attention to it.

Nonetheless, after some time, everyone began to calm down from their excitement, and continued living their days. For this year, rare events were already considered to be extremely normal…

Among the undulating mountains was a tiny stone house. It was surrounded and enveloped in a layer of white mist, which protected it from the blazing sun and the piercing sand dust.

While it was scorching hot on the outside, it was exceptionally comfortable inside the house, as if there was air conditioning.

Mere tricks like that would cost a fortune if they were to be done through science and technology.

“Master, I was incapable, I can only help them escape here. Fortunately, Vigilante A was attracted by Ling Yunzi, he didn’t bother about us.” Black Robe reported to a bald man.

The bald man nodded. He was Zhi Nan, who used to have fluttering long hair but for some reason, he turned bald.

If Fang Ning were to call him a bald donkey again, he would really be worthy of the name this time.

“It doesn’t matter, Vigilante A won’t look over here.” Zhi Nan said plainly.

“Master, you’re very wise. Vigilante A that blind man doesn’t have such a great spiritual ascension, I’m certain that he won’t see through this wonderful formation set up by you.” Black Robe rejoined respectfully.

“Mmm, let us not talk about this now. You came at the perfect time, I have instructions for you. You have to cultivate techniques but you must follow up with cultural knowledge as well, especially with modern scientific knowledge of the people on Earth now. You must not underestimate it.” Zhi Nan mentioned.

Naturally, Black Robe and Claudia immediately nodded in response.

However, Yamanashi who was behind him looked up and widened her eyes in confusion. “Master, the internet is spreading that the current scientific system is already in a disastrous state, it’s hard to explain the various changes happening now. There are rumors every day that some scientists have gone mad because of this, and even committed suicide. They can’t even pull themselves together, why should we learn those things?

“Just like the Moon that transformed into a mooncake, there wasn’t any drastic change like what they’ve predicted. The law of nature, gravity, tides and so on that were concluded from before became invalid. What good will it bring us if we study it?”

For a middle school student, how could learning be more interesting than training?

Training one’s abilities allowed one to grow stronger day by day, hence the body would experience the feeling of becoming stronger along with it.

Besides, even if one could not break a brick today, one could destroy an entire greenstone the next month.

Learning was not as fun as this.

Learning was dull as it required one to digest and to comprehend. Other than that, one needed to apply it in real life, and exert its practicality, which would take up a long time.

Upon hearing her, Zhi Nan only smiled slightly, he was rather patient with this disciple of his.

After all, she was the only one of his preordained nine Devil Generals.

It was quite a pity. Even until now, out of the nine Devil General seeds he planted, only one succeeded.

Initially there were two, but Nie Yuan had an unstable mind so he escaped and returned. As expected, he was born to be deeply possessed.

Zhi Nan did not go into a rage because of this, as everything was within his expectations, and this was exactly where Nie Yuan’s destiny laid.

Therefore, he explained, “Science is not something of a fixed conclusion, it’s a way and an attitude to understand the world. When the earthling’s science is brought to the upper realm, it’s also considered to be an extremely high technique. The key is that it has long been adapted into the world, and carries a greater benefit than the many techniques in this world that we already know of.”

Yamanashi comprehended this slightly, but since Zhi Nan had already said so, she could not refute anymore, so she nodded her head conscientiously as a sign of agreement.

After Ling Yunzi’s case, she knew deep down that whoever she was following was definitely not kind.

‘Luckily, master is still quite nice to me, I must not make him mad.

‘After all, he’s not Lord Azure Dragon who’s benevolent, kind, righteous, generous, and handsome. I can’t act so capriciously…

‘As soon as I’ve learned his abilities, I’ll seek refuge in Lord Azure Dragon, then I’ll have some foundation… At least I won’t become a burden.’

When she thought about this, some intermittent images appeared in her mind.

Looking at how the three of them were so obedient, Zhi Nan was somewhat glad.

From a bookshelf in a corner of the stone house, he retrieved three books, and gave one to each of them.
