Since Shi Yan's double cultivation, Arus is not Shi Yan's opponent at all, when practicing in the forest, Arus planned to sneak attack Shi Yan, but was kicked out by Shi Yan, and climbed nearly 20 meters away with a rolling belt, Shi Yan also apologized vigorously afterwards, saying that he didn't expect his strength to improve nearly 1 times, but no matter what Shi Yan said, Arus would never fight with Shi Yan again.

"Bamboo Forest Town" - Shi Yan and Arus come to a small town and look at the boulder in front of the town.

"Senior brother, there is a lot of bamboo outside this town, so it is called Bamboo Forest Town," Arus said.

"Thank you for telling me," Shi Yan said.

"You're welcome, but this town is so lively," Arus said.

After Shi Yan and Arus entered the town, they looked at the bustling people on the street, and everyone looked very busy. The two of them walked around the lively streets. Shi Yan saw that the medicine in the ring had long been gone, and he relied on Puqi to find some herbs to maintain consumption, but after all, herbs were only raw materials, and the efficacy was naturally better than pills.

"I'm sorry, the gold sore medicine and military food pills that the two of you asked for are out of stock, if you want to buy the pill, please ask for morning tomorrow," the pharmacy owner looked at Shi Yan and Arus and said.

"Out of stock? Wouldn't it, this gold sore medicine and military ration pills will also be out of stock? Shi Yan said curiously.

"Oh? Don't you know? This year, the four largest ancient academies in the country of stone suddenly enrolled students at the same time, and the tutors of each branch recruited people uniformly, and the standard of enrollment this year was much lower than in previous years, and in order to improve the strength of children, the pharmacies in all small towns were almost out of stock," said the pharmacy owner.

"Boost your strength and eat gold sores?" Arus asked.

"Little brother doesn't know, the news of the enrollment of the ancient academy was sent down in the first three months, and the children of each family study hard, and bumps and bumps are common, so the healing gold sores and the military food pills that replenish qi are sold very well, plus the enrollment is booked in this town, and the inn in the town was full two months ago, not only medicines, but all the business in the town is in short supply," said the pharmacy owner.

"I see," Shi Yan said.

Out of the pharmacy, the streets were full of people, and there was no way but to rely on the clear spring water to maintain it for a while, you must know that this clear spring water is more expensive than those gold sore pills and military food pills, and there is nothing interesting to do after a big walk, Shi Yan had to find a clean place to rest in the nearby bamboo forest.

"Aunt Jing, what are the four ancient courtyards that the pharmacy owner said?" Shi Yan said curiously.

"I'm really convinced, the four ancient academies of the country of stone are places to train fighters and mages, and cultivate talents for all parts of the country of stone, and the rest of the colleges are branch branches of these four ancient academies," said Zhu Jing.

"Lanling Ancient Academy, Abesi Ancient Academy, Tianzun Ancient Academy, and Shura Ancient Academy," Arus said suddenly.

"You know that, too?" Shi Yan said curiously.

"Senior brother, these four ancient courtyards are the dream of every cultivator, besides, almost no one doesn't know about it," Arus said.

"Arus is right, it is indeed these four ancient academies, but it is rare to enroll students at the same time, unless~" Zhu Jing said thoughtfully.

"Aunt Jing, unless anything?" Shi Yan asked.

"War~" Arus continued.

"War?" Shi Yan said curiously.

"Yes Xiaoyan, unless the country predicts that there will be a big war in the future, the four ancient academies will not come to recruit students in person, the teachers of these four ancient academies can be called the energy pillars of the country, and it is not easy to enter the academy, that is, at this time, many children who are slightly worse have the opportunity to enter," said Zhu Jing.

"No wonder the town is so lively," Shi Yan said.

"It must be lively, in the past, the number of places in the academy was limited every year, and many children with good foundations were persuaded to quit because they did not compete for places," Arus said.

"Yes, according to statistics, the children in the past 100 years have a better foundation than the previous children, and the college has to raise the standard, after all, the number of places available for allocation every year is really limited, that is, in extraordinary times, the colleges will make exceptions to enroll," said Zhu Jing.

"Shall we go and see?" Shi Yan said.

"How to get there? Have you forgotten the imprint on our arms," Arus asked.

"Aunt Jing, do you have to look at your arm at the beginning?" asked Shi Yan.

"Not really, after passing the audition, there will be further screening, and only qualified children will undergo a physical examination," said Zhu Jing.

"Hehehehehe," Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Aunt Jing, every time my brother laughs like this, it's not a good thing," Arus said.

"Oh? I think it's good to see and know, it's very similar to his aunt," said Zhu Jing with a smile.

"It's a family," Arus said.

Three days after the selection of the sea in the town, Shi Yan and his party inquired that there were two ways to conduct the audition, one of which was directly recommended by some famous and strong people. The tutor of the ancient academy who is in charge of the audition will give priority to these children, after all, there are famous teachers to guide them, generally speaking, there is no problem, even if the qualifications are slightly poor, they are much better than the children of ordinary people.

Another way is to participate in the competition, the contestants will survive the fittest, and round after round of screening until all the remaining children meet the standards~

The opportunity is rare, after all, there are a few children who are related, and most of the children are here to participate in the competition. It's no wonder that the town is so lively, the streets are full of boys and girls, including some well-dressed children, who follow them when they go in and out.

After walking around the town, Shi Yan returned to the forest. Since the town doesn't even have a place to stay, Shi Yan and the others can only live in the woods, even so, there are many neighbors around, in order to avoid disturbing, Shi Yan can only be a little farther away. Stayed in the forest all night, and as soon as he woke up the next day, Shi Yan couldn't wait to go to the town to visit, compared to yesterday, there were many people in the town today, and the roadside stalls were placed at the gate of the town.

"Your son-in-law is extremely qualified at first glance, if he can be promoted to the next level, this time the four ancient academies will recruit students to definitely have a place for Ling Gongzi"

Shi Yan looked up and saw that the medicine boss at the roadside stall was pulling a fat man who looked like a rich businessman, boasting about his pills, and he was looking at the son of the rich businessman, who was also fat and fat.

"Dad~ I want this pill"

"What? Want it? What do you want it to do, you Lao Tzu has sold medicine all his life, and he can catch his way, this broken thing sells for 1 gold crystal, why doesn't he die, besides, are you a cultivator, you have been holding back for 1 year and only 2 stage fighters, what's the use"

"Oh, this boss, your son is also a 2nd dan fighter, and he is guaranteed to be promoted to 3rd dan after taking the pill"

", this kid doesn't have that life, what kind of cultivator to be, don't think I don't know what medicine you sell, this can be used in addition to cheating Lao Tzu into spending money"

The chubby boss pulled his son and left, only to see that the old man selling medicine was very helpless, and sat back on the stall, humming a little song with his legs crossed.

Shi Yan smiled and continued to walk around with Arus, there were indeed a lot of people on the street, and Arus followed boredly. Shi Yan was always curious about new things, but Arus was different, he was tired of seeing these things when he was a child, and Arus preferred the tranquility of the jungle to the bustling streets in front of him.

"Two for two, two for and slowly"

The old man who had just sold medicine suddenly stopped Shi Yan and Arus, only to see the old man look at Shi Yan for a long time before he clapped his hands violently and said, "Oh, it's amazing, little brother, it's rare for you to have such attainments at a young age, it's really rare, it's rare."

"I don't have any money, I can't afford your medicine," Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Go away from the liar," Arus said.

"Oh, boy, where did you come from," said the stall owner selling medicine.

"Let's go, junior brother," Shi Yan said and was about to leave.

"Little brother, you are young, you are already a 6th stage of Dou Qi and 5 stages of True Qi, and your future is immeasurable," said the stall owner who sold medicine deliberately raised his voice.

"Huh?" Shi Yan was stunned.

I saw that the passers-by next to me looked like Shi Yan after hearing the sound, and when everyone saw that this Douqi 6 Duan and True Qi 5 Duan were talking about a 10-year-old child, they blamed the stall owner who sold medicine.

"Neurotic" "That's it" "Is this boss crazy, that's a child" "What a special 6 paragraph 5 paragraph, what are you kidding"

Even though the people around him were talking, the stall owner who sold the medicine was still happy towards Shi Yan and Arus, Shi Yan suddenly felt that the one in front of him was not as frivolous as it seemed, and he should also be a cultivator, but he didn't know why, he couldn't feel a trace of a cultivator's breath from this person's body.

"The boss is not an ordinary person," Shi Yan said.

"Don't dare to be a medicine seller, little brother, do you want to see my medicine, buy a bottle" The medicine stall owner smiled.

"Senior brother, have we met some great people again?" said Arus.

"Oh, you buy a bottle, I haven't opened it for a few days, is it so difficult to buy a bottle of medicine?" The old man who sold medicine said.

Shi Yan's ring was slightly for a while, and the quiet mind transmission technique reached Shi Yan's mind, asking Shi Yan to buy him a bottle of medicine, the old man just glanced at Shi Yan and smiled.

"Okay, boss, I only have this money, you can see what you can buy," Shi Yan said.

The old man looked at Shi Yan, only to see that he took out a few copper spars from the ring, and his enthusiastic smile suddenly became a lot colder.

"What? Too little? Arus said.

"Today's children too, don't you go out with money," the stall owner said, but he still reached out and took the money, picked a bottle of medicine from the ground and threw it to Shi Yan.

"Boss, what is this?" Shi Yan asked.

"This is a bottle of elixir, which is helpful to you, for the sake of me not opening for several days, it is cheap for you," said the owner of the pharmacy.

"But?"

"But what is it, but you have made a lot of money, go back and try it, you can come to me if you need it, I am here every day," said the stall owner.

The people around looked at this and pointed out that the boss was not authentic, and even the child's money had to be cheated, and the old man didn't pay attention to this group of passers-by, just sat in the corner and hummed a little song with Erlang's legs crossed. It wasn't until Shi Yan left in a huff that the old man raised his head and looked at the place where Shi Yan left~

"This little ghost, it's kind of interesting"

~~~~~

In the bamboo forest in the middle of the night, Arus, who had been shopping for a day, fell asleep soundly, and after Shi Yan woke up from his meditation, he found that since Pucci was by his side, he was holding the medicine bottle he bought from the stall today and smelling it~

"Puff~Puff~" Pucci played with the medicine bottle.

Shi Yan opened the bottle, and a stream of danxiang floated out of the bottle, not to mention, after smelling the danxiang, Shi Yan's spirit suddenly perked up, and even Arus, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly became energetic, and looked at Shi Yan directly after getting up.

"Xiao Yan, put that bottle of medicine in the ring, I'll take a look," Zhu Jing said.

"Oh" Shi Yan nodded, and put the medicine bottle into the ring.

"Xiao Yan, can you describe the old man today," asked Zhu Jing,

"He? Not tall or thin, very old, with gray sideburns, just a cynical old man, nothing special," Shi Yan said.

"It's strange, since this bottle of elixir he gave you is a 'Soul Wishing Pill', it is clearly aimed at me," Zhu Jing said.

"Could it be that he noticed Aunt Jing?" Shi Yan was surprised.

"There is a large population in the town, and there are a mixture of dragons and snakes, I'm afraid that there are really masters hiding in it, and it seems that we can't be too publicistic in the future," said Zhu Jing.

"Alas~" Arus got up.

"What's wrong, junior brother," Shi Yan asked, looking at Arus.

"I don't understand, you're stupid, you've met someone even more stupid than you, and I've given you all this thing, I think he's poor and crazy," Arus said.

"Shi Yan's ability and cultivation are really rare, and it's no wonder that some people will appreciate him," Zhu Jing said.

"Don't talk about this, Aunt Jing, what's the use of this 'Soul Wishing Pill'" Shi Yan asked.

"This pill is not difficult to use, it is not only as simple as refining and condensing herbs, but using a spirit stone as a medicine guide, combining the essence of herbs with spirit stones, and stimulating the medicinal effect through the spiritual power of the spirit stone to send out Dan incense.

"I have the Dan furnace, Aunt Jing, it's in the ring, you can put it inside," Shi Yan said.

"I know this, I just wonder, this old man won't give you the 'Soul Blessing Pill' for no reason, maybe you have met a master," Zhu Jing said.

"By the way, he told me when he left that he was there every day, presumably telling me that I could find him if I had something," Shi Yan said.

"Really?" Zhu Jing said.

"What's wrong, Aunt Jing?" Shi Yan asked.

"It's nothing, Xiao Yan, are you going to participate in three days?" Zhu Jing asked.

"How much fun it is to participate, I said that I don't know how strong I am when I have been cultivating, and Arus will not compete with me anymore," Shi Yan said.

"Senior brother, please spare me, I still hurt from that kick, I have a psychological shadow," Arus said.

"Xiao Yan, you have to keep half of your ability no matter what, you know" Zhu Jing said.

"Why?" Shi Yan asked.

"Just listen to my aunt," Zhu Jing said.

"Oh," Shi Yan was a little unhappy.

Although I don't know why Zhu Jing only allows herself to use half of her ability, she can't be wrong to listen to her. Within three days, Shi Yan did not enter the bamboo forest town under the advice of Zhujing, but honestly practiced in the bamboo forest, with the assistance of 5 stages of true qi, Shi Yan's cultivation speed was much faster. Shi Yan is already familiar with the wandering of the meridians, although the individual speed is very fast, but after all, it is a double cultivation, and the total time taken is about the same as before.

"I really envy Senior Brother, I can practice my Dou Qi and practice my True Qi, I want to practice it too," Arus said.

"No matter what you practice, as long as you can reach the realm, you can become a Venerable, don't force it," Zhu Jing said.

"Aunt Jing, can you see if I can also practice True Qi?" Arus said.

"One needs to have a good physique, the other needs to be spiritually strong, and it is very good to be able to focus on cultivating one, and it is not without a Venerable with one attribute, just take the first protector of the Fire Country's 'Red Law' as an example, it is precisely because of the best fire attribute that the 'Flame Army' of the Fire Country has always dominated a continent," Zhu Jing said.

"Red law? Isn't it amazing? Shi Yan, who had retreated from meditation, asked.

"I know," Arus said, "that year, in the power list of the three clans' powerhouses, the red mana was the best and ranked third."

"Three clans? Which three clans are strong? Shi Yan said curiously.

"The three races refer to the three races of the human race, the beast race, and the elf race, and there will be a competition every 30 years, and each race will send 100 young strong people, and the reason is to communicate, and secretly it is a test, and the last human race was defeated, but fortunately, the red law turned the tide and squeezed into the top three" said Zhu Jing.

"Huh? It sounds like a long insight, since there are still such interesting things on the mainland? Shi Yan said.

"It's over," Arus said.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Jing asked.

"Your eldest nephew has a new goal," Arus said.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Jing said curiously.

"The top three of the three clans are powerhouses," Arus said.

"There are still seven or eight years left in the next term, Xiaoyan is now 11 years old, and he will only be 19 years old in eight years, it is impossible," said Yue Yue.

"Ouch~That's it for 10 years old, and it's still for 19 years old," Arus said.
