Feng Xun stared at Feng Wu in astonishment. “Don’t tell me that you can enter the cultivation state as soon as you sit down!”
Feng Wu looked bewildered. “Can’t you?”
Feng Xun said, “Of course not!”
Feng Wu asked, “So what is it like for you?”
She suddenly realized that she hadn’t been brought up the same way as everyone else.
Feng Xun said, “Yes, we also sit down with our legs crossed and our eyes closed, but no one can start cultivating right away. We all need to adjust our breathing, clear our minds, and slowly get into the state. It takes an hour at least.”
Feng Wu said, “Is it so ceremonial for all of you?”
Feng Xun said, “It’s not ceremonial! It’s the normal procedure! How else are you supposed to sense spiritual essence?”
Feng Wu said, “But…” She didn’t need any of that.
Feng Xun asked, “Are you telling me that you don’t need to do those things?”
Feng Wu nodded. “Not at all.”
That was a hard blow to Feng Xun. He then turned to Jun Linyuan for help.
The crown prince shrugged. He could enter the state pretty quickly, but it would still take him five minutes.
He gave Feng Wu a strange look.
The girl had really surprised him.
This was the second time already.
“Who did you learn inscriptions from?” he asked her with a brooding look in his eyes.
Her past was practically blank. She lived in the imperial capital until she was eight and then spent the next five years in Northern Border City. Where could she possibly learn inscriptions, let alone Level 7 ones?
All eyes were on Feng Wu.
Feng Wu tried to change the subject. “Ahem. Don’t you want to know what’s hidden in the book?”
She then opened it.
Two things fell out.
They were a letter and a strange-looking black stone.
Feng Wu wouldn’t have opened the letter if there had been a recipient on the envelope. Since there weren’t any names, she had no problems reading it.
There was a strange look on her face after she finished.
“What does it say?” Feng Xun wanted to have a look at the letter.
“Ahem.” Feng Wu didn’t answer. Instead, she folded the letter and put it back into the envelope. “It’s a girl’s secret, and not suitable for boys.”
Feng Xun was baffled. “What secret?” The fact that Feng Wu wouldn’t show it to him only made him more curious.
Since Feng Wu had put the letter away, Feng Xun studied the black stone instead.
“What’s this?” He turned the stone this way and that, but couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary about it. The stone remained unchanged.
Xuan Yi shook his head after examining it as well.
“What is it?” Feng Wu asked curiously.
Feng Xun said, “I have no idea. He wouldn’t have hidden it away carefully if it was a useless thing. But what should we do with it? Things from the Dongsang Kingdom are so strange. They seem to want to hide everything and fear that other people will read into them.”
Feng Wu’s eyes lit up. “What did you just say?”
Feng Xun said, “They don’t want other people to read into them.”
Feng Wu smacked the table. “That’s it!”
