The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#299 - Urgent

Not long after Yan Jun left, the maze formed by the earthen walls returned to its original state.

Lu Jing, on the other hand, found a spot on the open ground outside the maze and sat down cross-legged, beginning to ponder how to solve the puzzle.

However, as time passed, Lu Jing still had no clue. He rummaged through everything in his large bamboo suitcase, but couldn't find anything that could be of use.

At this time, Zhao Ming and the others also arrived one after another. They couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the earthen walls in front of them. The White Jade Gentleman, Lu Ping, immediately wanted to jump up and take a look.

But then he heard Lu Jing say to him, "Don't jump!"

Lu Ping hesitated for a moment, and finally retracted his foot.

However, the Tianmen Sect disciple behind him didn't listen to Lu Jing's advice. With a light leap, he jumped onto the earthen wall as easily as a swallow flying into the forest.

But less than two breaths after he went up, a tremor came from under his feet.

Then the earthen wall collapsed with a bang, causing the Tianmen Sect disciple, who was still a little dazed on the wall, to fall down again. Although with his agility, he eventually landed steadily, he ended up with a mouthful of dirt.

When the dust settled, everyone saw that nothing was left on the empty ground.

"We have to wait for half a cup of tea's time before that thing will come out again," Lu Jing explained to Lu Ping and the others.

This time, no one doubted his words anymore.

So everyone dispersed and chose a place to wait patiently.

Because of the Meteorite Iron Zen Staff, Little Monk Zhao Ming had interacted with Lu Jing before, so they were considered acquaintances. After hesitating for a moment, he still walked to Lu Jing's side. However, the little monk's old problem occurred again. Before he could speak, his neck turned red.

Then, he didn't dare to meet Lu Jing's gaze, and instead stared at his monk shoes.

"Little Master Zhao Ming, do you want to ask me on behalf of everyone what this third question is testing?" Lu Jing asked before Little Monk Zhao Ming could open his mouth.

"Yes, yes," the little monk nodded like a chick pecking at rice, but then paused and shook his head, "But when this little monk thinks that this small competition and Brother Lu are opponents, I feel that perhaps I shouldn't have come to ask."

"There's nothing that shouldn't be asked. These things were originally told to me by predecessors," Lu Jing said indifferently, "So telling you is nothing."

The White Jade Gentleman and the others on the side were all stunned when they heard this sentence.

They all felt that Lu Jing had come to participate in this small competition only to prove himself, to prove that he had not been left behind by the new people of the same year, to prove that he, a first-rate master on the Tianji List, was still stronger than others!

In fact, these people also had the same idea in their hearts, and were secretly competing with Lu Jing, but they wanted to prove that their hard work during this period had not been in vain, and to prove that they had surpassed Lu Jing.

At least in the matter of cultivation.

Therefore, when they were overtaken by Lu Jing when they went down the mountain earlier, their faces looked so ugly, and Lu Jing's speed in the second question was also very fast, always leading them.

The White Jade Gentleman and the others all thought that Lu Jing would definitely try his best to maintain this advantage, because if they were in Lu Jing's position, they would have done the same thing.

"… … … …"

Even the Tianmen Sect disciple earlier was now shouting to drink together, and said that he wanted to apologize to Lu Jing in person.

This made Lu Jing a little caught off guard. He didn't think so much at all. He just wanted to solve this question quickly and chase after Yan Jun in front.

If he didn't say a word, and everyone came up with such a thing like the Tianmen Sect disciple, then everyone wouldn't have to do anything, just sit here and wait for the maze to keep refreshing.

Moreover, these things are not secrets, and they will be discovered sooner or later, so he doesn't need to hide them.

However, perhaps even Lu Jing himself didn't realize that his state of mind had actually undergone some subtle changes since the beginning of participating in the small competition.

At that time, he was only thinking about getting the Tianyi True Water to solve the secret power trouble. Although he was also trying to win the first place, he actually had some luck in his heart, feeling that even if he couldn't get the first place, getting the second or even the third place was not unacceptable, because maybe the people in front didn't need the Tianyi True Water.

However, after briefly catching up with Yan Jun, but being left behind by the latter again, Lu Jing's competitive spirit was also stimulated. Now, he only has Yan Jun as an opponent in his eyes.

Lu Jing didn't really care about the others, such as the White Jade Gentleman and Little Monk Zhao Ming, so he agreed so readily.

After telling everyone present the general situation of the maze, Lu Jing didn't care what they would do next, and began to think about the solution to the problem again.

Half a cup of tea later, accompanied by a rumbling sound, the earthen wall maze appeared in front of everyone again.

At this time, no one jumped over the wall anymore, and even the later students were also informed of this matter.

After trying a few more times, someone finally discovered the wonderful use of invisibility in this level, so some people succeeded in solving the problem one after another.

However, some people's invisibility was not well practiced, and they couldn't completely make their bodies disappear, leaving an arm or a leg outside, and even half of their body was there, which looked very sanity-depleting.

Without exception, these guys failed to pass the maze. On the contrary, Xia Huai, who had practiced invisibility for the shortest time, her body actually became lighter than Yan Jun's after casting the spell, and even the shadow on the ground disappeared, which made people have to admire her talent for secret power cultivation.

Xia Huai originally wanted to wait for Lu Jing to go to solve the next question together, but she was persuaded to leave by the latter. When she left, the next wave of people had not arrived yet.

The earthen wall rarely returned to calm again, and at this time, Lu Jing saw a groundhog, burrowing out from under the earthen wall, seemingly wanting to see if the noisy guys outside his door were gone.

Seeing the groundhog, Lu Jing's eyes also lit up. He knew that he had finally found the answer to this question.
