Seeing the young man coming in, Yun Xiao's heart tightened slightly, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.
Amongst the young men in front of him, there was probably no one in the entire Hong Luan Town who didn't recognize him. In fact, in a few nearby small towns, he was a rather famous figure.
Jia Pingzheng was the second young master of the Jia family in Hong Luan town. He was a genius that hadn't been seen in a hundred years in Hong Luan town. Although he was only sixteen years old, he was already a true qi practitioner of the sixth level.

When an ordinary person reached the age of sixteen, he would at most be at the third level of the true qi realm. And when he reached the sixth level of the true qi realm at the age of sixteen, he was absolutely a genius. Once he advanced to the seventh level of the true qi realm before the age of eighteen, he could enter the Thundercloud Academy to cultivate. His future was immeasurable.
"Brother Bai, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."
Seeing Jia Pingzheng's arrival, Yun Xiao did not want to have any communication with him. He greeted Brother Bai and was about to take the parcel and leave.
"Hey, little medicine jar, why do you want to leave when you see me?"
Just as Yunxiao was about to leave, Jia Pingzheng's figure blocked the door and blocked his way.
In Hong Luan Town, Jia Pingzheng's name was well known to everyone. But in fact, there was another person in Hong Luan Town whose reputation was almost comparable to his. This person was Yun Yun.

In this world where martial arts was the most respected, everyone could cultivate true qi. Even those with mediocre aptitudes could cultivate to the second or third level of true qi, but Yun Xiao, who was fifteen years old, was still a good-for-nothing who hadn't mastered any true qi.
A good-for-nothing who couldn't practice Genuine Qi was as rare as a genius that hadn't been seen in a hundred years. Therefore, when people mentioned Jia Pingchao, they would naturally think of Yunxiao. Over time, Yunxiao's reputation became well-known.
"Excuse me."
Carrying the spiritual grass on his back, Yun Xiao glanced coldly at Jia Pingzheng. He couldn't help but be a little afraid.

Originally, there was no interaction between him and Jia Pingzheng. Although the people in the town were always willing to compare his aptitude with Jia Pingzheng's, he didn't mind it at all, and the other party naturally wouldn't pay attention to this.
The real reason for their interaction was because of Lin Yue'er, the eldest daughter of the Saint Medicine Sect.
Jia Pingzheng had always fallen in love with Lin Yue'er, which was not a secret in the entire Hong Luan Town. Unfortunately, the latter did not like him. Although Jia Pingzheng's attack was very fierce, it had always been of little effect.
Coincidentally, the last time Jia Ping confessed his love to Lin Yue'er, the latter was so angry that she said that she would rather marry Yunxiao than marry him. It was such a simple sentence that made Jia Pingzheng hate him from then on.
Fortunately, his grandfather, Yun Jin, still had some face in Hong Luan Town, so Jia Pingzheng did not dare to be too presumptuous. Otherwise, given the status of the Jia Family in Hong Luan Town and the strength of Jia Pingzheng's martial arts skills, he did not even know if he would be able to live.
"Tsk, tsk. Don't leave in a hurry. I happen to have something to announce. It's not too late to leave after hearing it!"
Jia Pingzheng didn't care if Yun Xiao was willing to listen. He cleared his throat and said loudly, "Listen up, everyone here. I've already been accepted by the Thunder Cloud Academy. The experts of the Thunder Cloud Academy are now in my Jia Family as guests. Three months later, I'm going to report to the Thunder Cloud Academy. Hahahaha!!"
After he finished speaking, laughter filled the entire medicinal shop. His gaze, on the other hand, glanced up the stairs.
"What? Second Young Master was broken by the Thunder Cloud Academy?"
"Thunder Cloud Academy? It's been a long time since anyone from Hong Luan Town entered Thunder Cloud Academy!"
"Congratulations, Second Young Master! Congratulations, Second Young Master! You're really giving face to the mayor of the Hong Luan Town!"
"As I said, Second Young Master is a genius that's rarely seen in a hundred years in Hong Luan Town. Sooner or later, he'll have to enter the Thundercloud Academy."
"Do you even need to say that? Who doesn't know that Second Young Master is the genius of our Red Luan Town? In my opinion, it's their honor to be accepted as Second Young Master by the Thunder Cloud Academy..."
When Jia Pingzheng announced this explosive news, all the waiters and guests in the whole Holy Heart Medicine Shop were boiling with excitement. Some of them were talking about it, and some simply went forward to congratulate him.
Among the thirty-six prefectures of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Thundercloud Manor was one of them. The Thundercloud Manor was in charge of over a thousand cities and towns. The Red Luan Town was the smallest of them all. In recent years, no one had been able to enter the Thundercloud Academy for a very long time.
The Thundercloud Manor held an important position in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The so-called Thundercloud Academy was an organization established by the Thundercloud Manor. Every year, the Thundercloud Academy would select talented young people from over a thousand towns to groom them. Those with outstanding results could even directly enter the Law Enforcement Department of the Thundercloud Manor and serve the Thundercloud Manor and even the Great Zhou Dynasty. Their power was limitless.
It could be said that anyone who could enter the Thunder Cloud Academy was bound to be an extraordinary big shot in the future.
It was a pity that the conditions for Thunder Cloud Academy to recruit students were extremely harsh. Only those who had reached the seventh level of the true qi realm before the age of eighteen were qualified to join them.
Although Jia Pingzheng was only at the sixth level of the true qi realm, he was only sixteen years old now. This was in line with the conditions for poor income. Of course, the human and material resources of the Jia family would play a certain role in this.
"Thunder Cloud Academy?"
After hearing Jia Pingzheng's words, Yun Xiao's expression couldn't help but become a little complicated.
Like all the other young people, he dreamed of entering the Thundercloud Academy. He'd liked martial arts since he was young, but his grandfather hadn't allowed him to train in any martial arts for so many years. He was already fifteen years old, and it wasn't realistic for him to enter the seventh level of the true qi realm within three years.
In other words, it was destined that there would no longer be any interaction between him and the academy.
At this moment, hearing that Jia Pingzheng had entered the Thunder Cloud Academy, it was absolutely a lie to say that he wasn't envious.
"Hahaha, I've been sleeping for a while. When I woke up, I heard such good news. Congratulations, Nephew Ping Zheng!"
Just as Yun Xiao was lost in thought, a loud laugh suddenly came from the upstairs of the medicine shop. Before the laughter stopped, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes appeared in the middle of the stairs.
The middle-aged man showed a bit of happiness, and his whole body was full of shrewdness. As for his identity, who else could it be other than Lin Wei, the shopkeeper of the Holy Heart Elixir Store?
While they were talking, Mr. Lin had already gone downstairs and came to Jia Pingzheng with a big smile on his face.
"Greetings, Uncle Lin."
Upon seeing Lin Wei's appearance, a trace of a smile flashed across the corner of Jia Pingzheng's mouth. He bowed to Lin Wei.
"My dear nephew, please don't stand on ceremony."
After personally helping Jia Ping up, Lin Wei held Jia Ping's arm enthusiastically, as if they had become a family.
"Uncle Lin..."
Yun Xiao also came to his senses. When he saw Lin Wei, he naturally wanted to say hello to him. Speaking of which, since he saved Lin Yue'er last time, Lin Wei was very grateful to him. Every time he saw her, he would talk enthusiastically with her.
"Hahaha, Nephew Ping Zheng, this is not a good place to talk. Come on, let's talk upstairs."
Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Lin Wei's laughter. He bent down halfway and stopped abruptly.
"This..."
He couldn't help but look a little embarrassed. He never dreamed that Uncle Lin, who was usually very enthusiastic, would ignore him today...
"Uncle Lin, this is the tonic that I ordered someone to bring back from the Thundercloud Manor. I hope Uncle Lin like it."
"Hahaha, you're too kind. We're family. Why are you so polite?"
"Uncle, you don't have to say that. This is what I should do as a junior."
"Brother Jia has a good son. Not only is he talented, but he is also so polite. His future achievements will be immeasurable."
"Uncle, you flatter me..."
Manager Lin warmly invited Jia Pingzheng upstairs. As they went upstairs, the two of them chatted enthusiastically. As for Yunxiao, it was as if he had never seen him.
"This is really..."
Watching Mr. Lin and Jia Ping disappear at the end of the stairs, Yun Yun's heart was filled with bitterness and self-mockery.
Although he could not cultivate, his mind was exquisite and clear. He could understand almost everything that Shopkeeper Lin had done.
Jia Ping was being taken away by the Thunder Cloud Academy. His status was already very different. Shopkeeper Lin knew very well that Jia Ping didn't like him. At this moment, of course, he had to keep a distance from him, even if he had saved his daughter.
"All the things in the world come for benefits, and all the people in the world come for benefits. I don't know if Mr. Lin will sell his daughter for benefits."
He couldn't help but worry about Lin Yue'er. Jia Ping was bent on getting Lin Yue'er. Lin Wei didn't make his stand clear before, but now that Jia Ping had the identity of a disciple of the Thunder Cloud Academy, the situation could be said to have undergone a fundamental change.
Judging from Lin Wei's attitude towards Jia Pingchao, the young master of the Jia Family should have fulfilled his wish!
"Forget it. These have nothing to do with me. I'd better go back and hunt for my prey!"
Shaking his head, he felt indescribably depressed, because he knew that the fairy-like girl was most likely going to have an owner this time.
