I Am Shocked That You Call This Cultivation

Chapter 33: Da Huang Has Turned Dumb After Eating Pills

After the news in Yang City caused a sensation throughout the country, many people’s attention was immediately focused on Qin Kai Cultivation School and Xin Guang Residence. Everyone was alert and was afraid that they would miss the next phenomenon.

Qin Kai Cultivation School’s higher-ups were as busy as dogs every day. They had just dealt with the media outside and had yet to catch their breath when a group of authoritative experts arrived.

The principal was extremely bitter and complained in his heart. He no longer had the pride he had a few days ago when he just found out that there was an immortal in the school.

In fact, the principal and the higher-ups were so angry that their teeth hurt. They wanted to find that immortal and kick him out so that they would have time to catch their breath.

At this moment, Chen Pingan was the happiest.

Without the supervision of the principal, he lived a very comfortable life. Every day, he would go to class and study his cultivation books after class.

One afternoon.

“How strange.” Chen Pingan sat on the exercise equipment and looked at the news on his phone as he muttered in confusion.

He had just finished his physical education class when his phone rang. It was a news update about the Yang City abnormal phenomena.

In fact, Chen Pingan had been reading so much about the abnormal phenomena these past few days that he felt like vomiting. The news were all reporting the same content and offered nothing new.

All of the reports were about the abnormal phenomena. The news media reporters had traveled thousands of miles from other big cities to get here, but they hadn’t been able to dig out any useful information. The immortal hidden behind the abnormal phenomena had never shown up.

After a while, Chen Pingan lost interest in such trivial news.

He casually swiped the pop-up information on his phone, and as he did so, he saw a relatively interesting piece of news.

[The heavenly dog behind the abnormal phenomenon in Xin Guang Residence has been found!]

Chen Pingan wondered if it was Da Huang.

Below the headline was a video. From the angle of the video, one could obviously tell that it was a hidden camera.

In the video, there were many onlookers. Chen Pingan saw many familiar faces. Among them was the old man from the neighborhood, Grandpa Dali.

“What is everyone looking at?”

Chen Pingan mumbled as he tilted his head along with the video, wanting to see clearly.

The video finally showed a clear angle that captured the scene perfectly.

In the video, everyone was surrounding a yellow-haired dog whose eyes were filled with wisdom. It sat on the ground and looked at the people around it. It even ignored Dali, which it was usually very friendly with.

“Da Huang?!”

Chen Pingan’s eyes widened as he stared at the silly-looking yellow dog. His heart skipped a beat.

In the video, Dali was still trying his best to get his dog to follow him. “Da Huang, what’s wrong? Have you turned dumb? Go back with your old man, don’t just sit in the forest like a fool.”

No matter how hardDali tried, Da Huang on the ground didn’t even look at him. Its eyes seemed to be looking at something through the crowd.

“Could it be that its brain is damaged from eating the medicinal pill?”

Chen Pingan’s scalp went numb. Da Huang’s demeanor had become entirely different from before. In the past, Da Huang would get excited when it saw people and climb onto their bodies. But now, Da Huang just sat there with a silly face. It didn’t even bark at strangers.

It was written in the book that the medicinal properties of a failed pill would change, and a large portion of the pills would possess a certain degree of toxicity.

Back then, Da Huang had consumed five failed pills which were probably high in toxicity. Judging from its current state, it did seem like it was poisoned.

On that day, Chen Pingan left after observing Da Huang for a while. Chen Pingan was certain that Da Huang must have fallen ill after he left and did not receive timely treatment after that.

Chen Pingan blamed himself for being too careless.

“If I had sent Da Huang to the hospital early in the morning, perhaps Da Huang wouldn’t have fallen ill. If so, none of this would be happening.”

Chen Pingan was extremely regretful. He had left in a hurry that day. Now that he thought about it, he really wished he had done something different.

Da Huang had lived with Grandpa Dali for more than ten years and had such a deep bond with him. If Grandpa Dali knew that Da Huang had eaten a failed pill, he would definitely want to find out who the person responsible was!

When Chen Pingan thought of this, he couldn’t help but tremble. He felt that he had gotten himself into some real trouble this time.

“Does Grandpa Dali know that I’m the one who was responsible? Why don’t I go visit him now and get some information? If no one in the neighborhood saw me with Da Huang back then, then…”

Chen Pingan had learned his lesson this time and acted cautiously. He would first inquire about Da Huang before making his next move.

“I might as well just go today.”

Chen Pingan did not even go back to change his clothes. After he left the school, he hailed a taxi and went back to Xin Guang Residence.

…

The entrance of Xin Guang Residence was crowded with people. Many people had come because of the news. They were from all over the country and immediately booked plane tickets after hearing about the Yang City abnormal phenomena. They all rushed over without stopping after getting off the plane.

Qin Kai Cultivation School was heavily guarded and so only authoritative institutions and big media outlets had the chance to enter. Others did not have the chance to enter.

Therefore, many people could only place their hopes on Xin Guang Residence. This seemingly ordinary neighborhood was not as guarded as Qin Kai Cultivation School. It was extremely easy for them to just sneak in and join in the fun.

In fact, because there were too many people entering and exiting the neighborhood these few days, many families living in the neighborhood had been robbed. After all, there was no shortage of robbers and thieves among the people that came and went.

The residents in the neighborhood collectively complained to the property management. For this reason, the property management had arranged security at all entrances and exits. Those who did not have a residential permit were now barred from entering.

Those people who had come because of the news had no choice but to wait at the entrance of the neighborhood. Even the nearby hotels were fully booked. They could only wait to capture the next abnormal phenomenon with their phones from a distance.

Even if they could not enter, the number of people who came all the way to Yang City was still increasing every day. It could be seen from the crowd at the Xin Guang Residence.

The security guard at the entrance stopped the new batch of foreign visitors with an apathetic expression. He had long since gotten used to seeing people like this.

There were three people standing outside the vast crowd at the entrance of Xin Guang Residence. They had complicated looks in their eyes, and they were all staring at the Xin Guang Residence entrance.

“Teacher Gu, didn’t you say that not many people would pay attention to the neighborhood?” Ye Beixuan felt speechless.

“What do you know? There is a larger crowd at the Qin Kai Cultivation School!”

Teacher Gu coughed awkwardly and defended himself.

Just as he finished speaking, an older man in front of him turned around with a silly smile. He spoke in a dialect and corrected Teacher Gu. “I just came from that school. The security guards are very headstrong and won’t let us wait there at all. The entrance of the school is basically empty.”

…

Teacher Gu’s face turned red after being exposed. He didn’t know how to respond.

“Thank you, Brother!”

Ye Beixuan smiled at the old man. He wasn’t afraid of being scolded by Teacher Gu. However, he also didn’t want to make Teacher Gu feel embarrassed.

“Teacher Gu, we can’t enter the neighborhood anymore. What should we do next?”

Ye Beixuan changed the topic abruptly. The three of them had come here to find the mighty figure hiding in the Xin Guang Residence. Now that they couldn’t enter, all their plans were for naught.

“This…”

Teacher Gu was also in a dilemma. How was he supposed to know what to do? After all, he was only older and not all-knowing.

Li Hao, who had been silent, took out a residence card and a key.

He swaggered forward and said calmly, “I rented an apartment inside. Let’s go. Don’t just stand there.”

“???”

They both wondered why Li Hao had not spoken earlier.

Teacher Gu and Ye Beixuan were stunned. By the time they regained their senses, Li Hao had already reached the entrance and entered the neighborhood without any obstructions.

The two of them looked at each other in tacit understanding, then swiftly rushed over with their luggage.

The eyes of the onlookers at the entrance flashed. It was as if two black shadows had run over. Then, their mouths were filled with wind and dust..
