After resting for a few days and confirming that his injuries had healed, Wei Ning left the elderly man's place and returned to the dormitory. Guo Fei was the first to see him and asked with concern, "You disappeared early this morning. I heard you were sick. How are you feeling now? Do you want me to accompany you to the hospital again?"
Wei Ning replied, "Thanks, but I should be fine now. By the way, have you guys done the assignments from the past few days? Can I borrow them to copy?"
"Sure," Guo Fei said as he turned to grab his notebook. Shortly after, the dorm leader, Zhang Kai, returned. Seeing Wei Ning, he excitedly gave him a bear hug and laughed, "I heard you were on leave for a few days. I'm both happy and worried for you. Are you okay now?"
Wei Ning pretended to hit him and playfully punched Zhang Kai's chest, saying, "You're the one who's on leave." Just then, the loud voice of Sun Bing came from outside: "Wei! I heard you just got circumcised. How does it feel? What about that nurse who helped you? Did she give you any special treatment?"
Wei Ning felt both angry and amused. These guys, usually looking respectable, turned into complete fools when they spoke, each revealing their inner pervert with every word. But deep down, he felt warm knowing they genuinely cared about him.
"By the way," Zhang Kai seemed to remember something, "since you haven't been around lately, the class monitor asked me to let you know that tomorrow night is Christmas Eve. The whole class is going karaoke; you should come too. A lot of beautiful girls in class have their eyes on you! But damn it, you've missed so many classes this term that I've become your shield. I still have a bunch of girls' phone numbers saved."
"I have some too," Sun Bing chimed in as he pulled out his phone to scroll through contacts.
Time flew by quickly; Christmas was almost here. Wei Ning couldn't help but feel a wave of nostalgia as he nodded and said, "Since it's a group activity, I definitely have to go."
The next day, Sun Bing and the others tidied up in their dorm for quite a while, each looking like a peacock displaying its feathers. Except for Wei Ning, who stuck to his usual attire. The four of them headed to the reserved private room together. By then, many people had already arrived; several female classmates looked at Wei Ning with noticeably different expressions, subtly shifting their bodies toward him.
At karaoke night, those with sharp minds were busy mingling while those less perceptive chatted away. Some sang passionately while others drank heavily. After a few rounds of drinks, some people started getting tipsy and grabbed the microphone to shout loudly. Wei Ning preferred quietness and disliked such environments intensely; he made an excuse to push away an approaching girl and stepped outside for some fresh air.
Coincidentally, Guo Fei also came out and saw Wei Ning; he pulled him along to the restroom. Although Wei Ning wasn't drunk, he had consumed quite a bit and followed Guo Fei into the restroom. After washing their hands together, Wei Ning suddenly noticed that Guo Fei had painted his nails like a girl with a dark color. He found it strange; Guo Fei felt embarrassed under Wei Ning's gaze and quickly wiped his hands on his clothes while laughing nervously, "It's nothing! Nail polish is unisex now; I'm just following the trend."
Wei Ning took a deep look at Guo Fei's hands and said meaningfully, "Really?"
"Let’s go," Guo Fei said to Wei Ning, "Don’t worry, I’m not gay anymore."
After finishing the song, Sun Bing and Zhang Kai were both drunk. Guo Fei, who stood at only one meter fifty, struggled to carry the two of them back to the dormitory with Wei Ning's help. Both Wei Ning and Guo Fei were exhausted themselves, so after tidying up a bit, they went to sleep.
The next day, Wei Ning wrestled with his thoughts for a while. Ultimately, he couldn’t resist the temptation of the Five Thunder Palm and went to the Mortuary to find the old man. The old man appeared to have been waiting for him, as if he had anticipated Wei Ning's arrival.
The old man paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back and suddenly said, "Who taught you all that junk you learned before?"
Wei Ning had never liked the old man's domineering demeanor. Hearing him insult his master directly made him angry. "My master, Wang Huichu Yi, is a person of profound Taoist knowledge. It’s just that I am foolish and can only grasp a fraction of what he knows."
The old man frowned. "Wang Chuyi? From the Wang family? There are still living members of the Wang family? Haven't they all died out long ago? It must be him. No wonder your talisman-making techniques resemble those of the Wang family. Hmph! Instead of mastering your own family's skills, you go and flatter the Wang family. It's true that the Wei family can't compare to them anymore; your descendants are really becoming more and more accomplished."
Wei Ning replied, "I lost my father at a young age, and my grandfather has been missing ever since. So no one taught me. I am already grateful that my master took me in and taught me his arts; how could I still harbor any biases about lineage?"
The old man nodded. "You can't entirely blame yourself; you can only blame that blood curse on your Wei family."
"Blood curse? What blood curse?" Wei Ning asked.
The old man looked surprised. "You mean you still don’t know about it?"
Wei Ning vaguely remembered hearing Wang Tuozi mention something about it in the past, but at that time he was too young, and Wang Tuozi had spoken in vague terms, so it was never brought up again.
Seeing Wei Ning shake his head, the old man said, "Since your family didn’t tell you, there must be a good reason for it. When the time comes for you to know, they will naturally inform you. Let’s not discuss this topic any further; let’s get to the main point. Your Eight Gates have already been broken. It’s impossible to train them anew. However, we can help you rebuild your foundation using superior methods. From now on, you must practice detachment from love, be frugal with material possessions, and act with caution in your moral conduct. Only then can you preserve your Primordial Qi; otherwise, no matter how hard I try to teach you, if your Primordial Qi is insufficient, it will be a futile effort."
The old man smiled gently and said, "Of course, you are in your prime now. It would be unreasonable to expect you to completely avoid the company of women. However, you must exercise proper control and avoid excessive indulgence. My Zhu You School has always emphasized purity in practice. If you prefer dual cultivation, it would be better for you to leave our sect and join Maoshan or another school."
Wei Ning, feeling embarrassed, blushed deeply at the old man's words.
Your Wei Family's Five Thunder Palm utilizes the Primordial Qi hidden within the body—Sea, Water, Sun, Fire, Wind, Moon, and the seven wheels—to condense the spirit, soul, consciousness, will, and intent. When the five elements converge and harness the power of nature's thunder and lightning, one can achieve an indomitable force capable of destroying anything. However, without sufficient Primordial Qi, all of this is mere talk. From today onward, I will help you unlock the Dark Eight Gates and cultivate your Primordial Qi. Once your energy is sufficient, your Five Thunder Palm will possess great might. Your ancestors once produced a remarkable talent during the Tang Dynasty who mastered the Five Thunder Palm to perfection; with a single strike, he dispersed a hundred thousand Evil Spirits. It was truly devastating. Unfortunately, I am not fortunate enough to have witnessed it."
"Now enough idle chatter; let me help you disperse the energy you've stored in your Qi Sea."
"You want to disperse my energy?" Upon hearing that the old man intended to take away the energy he had painstakingly cultivated for years, Wei Ning immediately screamed.
"Is it that hard for you to part with it or do you not trust me? If you can't let go of this energy, then perhaps you should just go back. I wouldn't even want that impure energy if it were given to me for free; it's a shame you still regard it as treasure."
Wei Ning sighed inwardly and thought: Since I have already broken through the Eight Gates, continuing my cultivation won't allow me to open them all at once anyway. It would be better to take a risk and let this old man disperse my energy so that I can start anew.
With a determined bite of his teeth, Wei Ning said, "Alright then."
The old man placed his hand on Wei Ning's head. Before long, white mist began to swirl around Wei Ning's head as he broke into a sweat. He lost track of time until finally, the old man withdrew his hand. Wei Ning let out a muffled groan before fainting.
