After silently reciting this passage, Jiang Yun's face showed a bitter smile, and he muttered to himself, "No wonder I couldn't Cultivate Jiang Village's Cultivation Method. So, the real reason is that they and I are fundamentally two different races!"

The trip to the Scripture Pavilion was extremely rewarding for Jiang Yun.

Because a long-standing doubt in his heart had found its answer in that thick book, but this answer made him temporarily unable to believe it.

Having lived in Jiang Village for sixteen years, Jiang Yun was naturally familiar with the Cultivation method of the Jiang Village people—absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.

He had even tried this Cultivation Technique several times, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it. His grandpa told him that it was because his Physique was different from the Jiang Village people.

Now, Jiang Yun finally understood that all living things between heaven and earth could Cultivate the Dao, but there was only one race that Cultivated by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon—the Yao Race!

In other words, the people of Jiang Village, who had raised him, lived with him for sixteen years, and treated him completely like family, were actually the Yao Race.

As a Human Race, he naturally couldn't Cultivate the Yao Race's Cultivation Technique!

Therefore, in the Wen Dao Sect, which belongs to the Human Race Dao Sect, he could Cultivate even the most basic and common Cultivation Technique without any hindrance.

After an unknown amount of time lying on the bed, Jiang Yun suddenly opened his eyes, a look of determination in them, and softly said, "So what if they are the Yao Race? Even if Grandpa and the others are the Yao Race, in my heart, they will always be my family, and I, Jiang Yun, will always be a part of Jiang Village!"

Previously, he was just too shocked by this fact to accept it, but now that he had thought it through, the gloom in his heart instantly vanished. He lay on his back, exhaled a long breath upwards, and his mood naturally lightened considerably.

Sitting up, Jiang Yun muttered to himself again, "Since that's the case, I need to work even harder to Cultivate, so that I can protect them in the future!"

Jiang Yun didn't know much about the Yao Race, only that the Human Race and the Yao Race did not have a harmonious relationship, and could even be said to be hostile to each other.

!h~

Jiang Yun thought that he would surely have to take the Jiang Village people out of the Ten Thousand Mang Mountains in the future, but if they were discovered to be the Yao Race, there would definitely be a lot of trouble, so he had to quickly become stronger.

Just then, Dongfang Bo's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Jiang Laodi, are you alright?"

Only then did Jiang Yun remember the scene that unfolded when he returned earlier. Although he wasn't afraid of Xu Chengshan, Dongfang Bo's appearance had helped him resolve the crisis, and Dongfang Bo was genuinely concerned about him, so he quickly stood up and said, "Senior Brother, I'm fine!"

As he spoke, Jiang Yun had already opened the door.

Dongfang Bo didn't come in, but stood at the door, scrutinizing Jiang Yun from head to toe, seemingly confirming that he had emerged from that sleepwalking-like state. Only then did he nod gently and say with a smile, "It's good that you're fine. That person just now was an Outer Sect Disciple from Hundred Beast Peak. You injured his pet Vicious Beast, so he definitely won't give up. Be more careful in the future."

Dongfang Bo neither asked Jiang Yun why he had enmity with the Outer Sect Disciple from Hundred Beast Peak, nor did he blame him for causing trouble. This naturally filled Jiang Yun with even more gratitude, and he repeatedly agreed.

Dongfang Bo then looked at Jiang Yun with a slight hint of dissatisfaction and said, "Also, you've just arrived at the Sect. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me. Don't be embarrassed! Have you found any new problems these past two days?"

Jiang Yun knew that Dongfang Bo probably knew about his trip to the Scripture Pavilion. He secretly stuck out his tongue and said, "There aren't any problems for now. Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother!"

"Alright!" Dongfang Bo nodded with a bit of disappointment and said, "Then you go about your business. I'm going to chat with your Second Senior Sister for a bit!"

"Senior Brother, take care!"

After seeing Dongfang Bo off, Jiang Yun fell into deep thought again.

This time, he wasn't thinking about Jiang Village's matters, but Lu Xiaoyu's.

Xu Chengshan's attack on him, and his warning when he left, all led him to conclude that someone indeed wanted to harm Lu Xiaoyu.

Moreover, Xu Chengshan should not be the true mastermind, otherwise, he wouldn't have shown his face so easily.

He had only helped Lu Xiaoyu once, and an Outer Sect Disciple immediately came to teach him a lesson. It's not hard to imagine that the mastermind's identity and status must be even more noble, at least an Outer Sect Disciple, or even possibly an Inner Sect Disciple.

This also gave Jiang Yun an immense headache. Originally, he thought that only an Outer Sect Disciple was framing Lu Xiaoyu, so as long as he also became an Outer Sect Disciple, he should be able to take care of Lu Xiaoyu. But if it was an Inner Sect Disciple, then even if he became an Outer Sect Disciple, it would be useless.

After all, Inner Sect Disciples are the true core of the Wen Dao Sect. Even if a conflict occurs between Inner and Outer Sect Disciples, the Sect will not ask for reasons and will inevitably side with the Inner Sect Disciple.

In the end, Jiang Yun couldn't think of a good solution and could only shake his head, saying, "It's still the same old saying, no matter what the other party wants to do, Xiaoyu is at least not in Mortal danger!"

As for him injuring Xu Chengshan's pet Vicious Beast and the other party threatening revenge, he didn't take it to heart at all.

However, he did think of another question: the appearance of Senior Brother actually made Xu Chengshan quite wary, and he turned around and left without a word.

This made him reconsider the identities of Senior Brother, and even the four people of Hidden Peak as a whole. Perhaps, it wasn't as simple as he thought, merely guarding miscellaneous items.

This question naturally had no answer, so Jiang Yun gave up after a moment of thought. No matter what Senior Brother and the others' identities were in this Wen Dao Sect, at least Senior Brother was his benefactor.

Next, Jiang Yun finally focused his attention back on his Cultivation.

"Tongmai Realm fifth level, already the same as Feng Wuji back then. However, he should have already entered the Reincarnation Sect, and as an Inner Sect Disciple, he would definitely receive special care from the Sect. I'm afraid his current Cultivation Realm is no longer the fifth level, but a higher Realm."

"No, I can't be complacent at all. I need to work even harder! Since Senior Brother told me to first stabilize my Realm, then I'll learn some spell techniques!"

Spell techniques, it could be said, were also one of Jiang Yun's motivations for wanting to Cultivate the Dao.

When he was in Mang Mountain, he had witnessed the people of Jiang Village use various spell techniques more than once. Especially his grandpa, whenever he encountered a Vicious Beast he couldn't deal with, his grandpa would always casually point a finger.

That seemingly ordinary finger could sometimes make the earth tremble, creating cracks that directly swallowed the Vicious Beast; at other times, it could make wild grass grow wildly, turning into vines that entangled the Vicious Beast.

Even the wind blades Feng Wuji used when attacking him, he felt a hint of envy in his heart. It was just a pity that at that time, he was just a Mortal.

Now, he had finally become a Cultivator, even reaching the fifth level of the Tongmai Realm. With Spiritual Qi released externally, he could already cast spell techniques.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun took out that Entry-Level fire-elemental spell technique and began to read it carefully.
