"But I really want to go in. Ye Xiaokai's voice was a little weak, and he could only hope that Zhang Tao would be extrajudicial to him.

Zhang Tao shook his head and said, "You better go back." ”

The tone was unquestionable, because if he really let someone who was not old enough to enter, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

Ye Xiaokai didn't speak again, a burst of sadness appeared in his heart, and he stood quietly in place, as if he was about to stare at the water.

Zhang Tao was helpless, he couldn't do this kind of thing, as a Qi Haidao monk, he couldn't blow away an ordinary person who came to sign up, so where would they put the face of Qinghuang Academy.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tao didn't pay much attention to Ye Xiaokai, turned around and walked straight back to the camp, since it didn't make sense, it could only make him retreat by himself.

In the evening, shadows slanted to the ground, and the afterglow stained half of the sky.

Ye Xiaokai realized that his feet were numb, but he still didn't move, and in this clumsy and old-fashioned way, he stood silently outside the station of Qinghuang Academy, glancing in expectantly from time to time, longing for a miracle to happen.

......

"Hey, you, come in!"

Later in the day, a vague shadow appeared not far away in the camp, shouting at Ye Xiaokai.

Ye Xiaokai was stunned for a moment, then jumped up happily, and immediately endured the numbness in his feet and legs and trotted into the big station of Qinghuang Academy.

Led all the way, Ye Xiaokai quickly walked to a secluded big tent, this big tent looked extremely ordinary, but the disciple who took it didn't say a word, just pointed inside, and turned to leave.

Ye Xiao was a little apprehensive in his happiness, and after exhaling lightly, he still opened the curtain and walked in.

"Hehe, what's your name?"

As soon as he entered the big tent, Ye Xiaokai quietly looked around, there was only one person in the big tent, and there was a white-haired old man in black sitting on it, at this moment the old man in black looked at Ye Xiaokai with a slight smile and asked.

"Uncle Immortal, my name is Ye Xiaokai. Ye Xiaokai replied tremblingly, and after looking at the old man cautiously out of the corner of his eyes, he swallowed a somewhat dry throat.

"Ye Xiaokai?!" Hearing this name, Lu Bei's face immediately changed, and a figure immediately appeared in his mind, but after he looked at Ye Xiaokai, he exhaled and shook his head.

"Uncle Immortal,...... , your name is a bit chic. Lu Bei came back to his senses.

"It's a pity that the realm of immortal dao is not so easy to achieve. Lu Bei sighed and continued, "The road to cultivation is long and obstructive, even if the old man has been cultivating for hundreds of years, he can only enter the Dao of the surrounding body, where can he be regarded as an immortal." Lu Bei sighed to himself.

"It's you, boy, huh. Lu Bei snorted coldly.

"Twelve years old is the uniform standard for all students to enter the academy, but not only because this age is the best age for monks to cultivate. ”

"If you come into contact with cultivation too early, on the one hand, the disciples themselves understand too little, their comprehension ability is not strong, and all kinds of problems will easily arise in cultivation, and the academy will not be able to teach you one-on-one, resulting in a limited future for you. On the other hand, the bones before the age of twelve are too weak, and the ability of the meridians to withstand is also limited, even if you are lucky enough to take the first step in cultivation, you will definitely not be able to bear the pain of cultivating Zhou Tian. ”

Lu Bei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Ye Xiao and explained with a smile, just now Zhang Tao, the deacon of the outer gate, came over to tell him about the situation of this child, if they really ignored it, then the reputation of Qinghuang Academy would not be good, so at Zhang Tao's request, he had to let his old man take the time to help solve it.

If it was because of other problems, Lu Bei wouldn't mind making an exception to charge an extra Ye Xiaokai, but he also needed to pay attention to the issue of bone age.

It's not that he is afraid of the regulations of the major academies, because everyone knows that many sects are also secretly recruiting talented disciples who are not up to the age standard, so this kind of superficial restriction has not actually had any substantial impact on the upper echelons of the sect.

Although Lu Bei can ignore this rule, he also has to consider Ye Xiaokai's cultivation, after all, there are many disciples who can't withstand the pressure of cultivation because they are young and can't bear the pressure of cultivation, and finally become invalids.

"But I must enter Qinghuang Academy. Ye Xiaokai stared at Lubei with persistent eyes.

"Oh, why is that?" Lubei asked casually.

"Because only when I become stronger, can I protect the people I want to protect. Ye Xiaokai said seriously.

"Hehe, it stands to reason that your bone age is there, and it is absolutely impossible for you to enter Qinghuang Academy, however, there are always exceptions to everything, you are lucky to meet a kind-hearted old man, so if you have to be admitted to the hospital, the old man can give you a chance. ”

Lu Bei smiled, although this Ye Xiaokai is young, he has a kind of simplicity, tenacity and perseverance, if he is really talented, he can't make an exception.

"Really?!" Ye Xiaokai exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't be happy yet, if your spiritual root can't satisfy me, I can't let you enter Qinghuang Academy. ”

Lu Bei smiled lightly, which not only gave this kid a chance, but also a good reason to persuade him to quit.

"Okay, I'll test. Ye Xiaokai said excitedly, although he didn't know what a spiritual root was at all.

"Hehe, then you pay for the test first. Lu Bei spread his hand slightly.

“...... I...... I don't have any money......" Ye Xiaokai said, his face a little red.

"Hmph, charging is the rule of Qinghuang Academy, you must know that there is no free lunch in the world, no one will always have compassion to give you and pity you, it is your own business to become stronger, so you should work hard yourself. Lu Bei pretended to be serious and said, he could naturally see that Ye Xiaokai had no money on him, and this time he behaved, the admonition was one, and the unqualified persuasion was also one.

"Although you are very young now, but this is a world of the jungle, if you don't become strong, you can only become cannon fodder for others, and there may be human warmth and coldness between the weak, but for the strong, no! So if you want to be a strong person, you can only rely on yourself, not on charity. ”

Although these words were too realistic for Ye Xiaokai, they were not incomprehensible.

"Alas, on the path of cultivation, there is no strongest, only stronger, you are weak to me, and I am the same to others, unless one day, you can understand the true path, or see through the true vanity. ”

Unconsciously, Lu Bei felt a little emotional.

With his strength, he is the top in the entire Qinghuang Academy, but he still ruthlessly said that he was a weak person in front of Ye Xiaokai, this is not arrogant, but he has self-knowledge, how can the cruelty of this path of cultivation be understood by a young white like Ye Xiaokai.

He Lubei has also seen many strong people who can easily crush him, so he never uses his prestige to override anyone.

"Uncle Immortal, I will definitely remember what you said. Ye Xiaokai listened seriously, and tried to engrave these words in his heart.

"In this way, I will only charge you a copper coin for all the test fees, which will be regarded as whether you are qualified to cross the threshold of monasticism. Lu Bei's expression was extremely serious.

When Ye Xiaokai heard this, his face was embarrassed.

"But, hehe, the old man knows that you don't have any money on you. Lu Bei looked at Ye Xiaokai with a smile.

"If your spiritual root is really good, then this test copper coin, you owe it to the old man...... Otherwise, I'll give you this copper coin to test for free. Lu Bei believed that Ye Xiaokai could understand what he meant.

"Come on, put your hand on this hemisphere. ”

Without waiting for Ye Xiaokai to answer, Lu Bei directly took out a crystal transparent hemispherical crystal from his arms, and with a flick of his fingers, the crystal ball fell to a table in front of Ye Xiaokai.

"Hmm!"

Ye Xiaokai nodded solemnly, walked over and pressed the words of the old man in black, and directly put his hand on it.

"Didi, Di!"

As soon as Ye Xiaokai's hand fell, bursts of unusually rapid warnings sounded one after another.

"Oh no, flash mob!"

Lu Bei's face changed greatly, and he immediately moved in the direction of Ye Xiaokai.

"Bang!"

As soon as the two figures dodged, the half-crystal ball of the test spirit root exploded into countless fragments and scattered all over the ground.

The crystal ball exploded, but Lu Bei was shocked in his heart! He couldn't believe his eyes, his eyes were staring at Ye Xiaokai deadly!

He dared to conclude that at the moment of the explosion, he was absolutely not wrong about the color on the crystal ball, and the Ye Xiaokai in front of him was clearly a pure and pure pure thunder spirit root that was rare in a thousand years!

This is simply terrifying, the best pure thunder spirit root, even if it is difficult for the entire Southern Regions to appear for a thousand years, it means that this Ye Xiaokai's talent must be one in ten thousand!

No, he absolutely had to keep this matter a secret! Even at the top of the academy, he couldn't reveal it at will.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I..."

The crystal ball exploded, and Ye Xiaokai felt a wave of despair in his heart.
