Chapter 7: The Girl in Tsing Yi
A month later, Mei Xue returned from the depths of Tiantai Mountain in embarrassment, wearing a tattered robe, wrapped in spirit bandages everywhere, and returned to the seaside market a hundred times more miserable than the last time she fell in love.
"I was too careless, I didn't expect there to be a group of big horse monkeys there." Mei Xue remembered with palpitations the biggest danger of her reckless behavior this time - the group of horse monkeys living in the depths of the swamp.
These horses and monkeys are infinitely powerful, agile in action, and good at refining monkey wine, which is also one of the rare specialties of the barren Tiantai Mountain. But Mei Xue didn't expect that she just hid by the side and observed the habits of this group of horse monkeys, which angered them, and she was chased for three days and three nights before crossing a river to get rid of them with the cloud technique.
If it weren't for the clouds summoned by the cloud mist technique with their own floating effect, he would probably have been caught back by those big horse monkeys, and the consequences would obviously be unimaginable.
This lesson told Mei Xue that even if he had the Classic of Mountains and Seas and learned a top-level auxiliary immortal method such as the Cloud and Mist Technique, he could not go anywhere. A small Tiantai Mountain swamp almost hung up him, and those dangerous places that he had to go to after completing the Mountains and Seas Classic must be ten deaths.
Traveling through the seas and mountains, this is the best way for Mei Xue to think of supplementing the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and she must go to see and record it herself, and she can't rely on the records of existing books.
Seeing is believing, hearing is believing, since he has become the owner of this generation of the Book of Mountains and Seas, then he will work hard to complete this Book of Mountains and Seas with incredible power.
didn't have many other thoughts, but the choice he made with the Sutra of Mountains and Seas was just as he chose to cut off his love and enter Buddhism at that time.
In this month's time, he traveled almost all over Tiantai Mountain, and wrote down all the topography, production, and viewing points of Tiantai Mountain. After completing all this, he found that there seemed to be something more in his mind, and a closer look at the map and record of Tiantai Mountain meant that what he did was very effective.
However, the consequence of being almost chased to death by the group of horse monkeys also reminded Mei Xue that he does not have the strength to see the mountains and be at ease. Even a safe mountain like Tiantai Mountain can't be safely swam in, and those legendary immortal mountain forbidden places don't even need to think about it.
You must improve your strength, otherwise it will be an impossible task to complete the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
If you want to be free, if you want to be comfortable, it will not work if you don't have enough combat power.
However, the Classic of Mountains and Seas did not give him such strength, and the mysterious little dragon couldn't sleep and was never heard from after teaching him the immortal method of manipulating clouds and mist. That wisdom sword didn't show any magical powers, and even a small tree was cut down, and Mei Xue really couldn't think of any way to improve her combat power immediately.
In the final analysis, he was just a pharmacist, and he was just a junior pharmacist who had just passed the primary exam and had barely mastered one or two low-level immortal methods. With his current status, it is not a problem to have food and clothing for the rest of his life, but it is wishful thinking to go further.
The Cloud Mist Technique is indeed a top-level auxiliary immortal method, but it is of little use to improve his combat effectiveness, he is still the pharmacist who can't even use a single sword technique, and he has not been promoted to a great cultivator overnight because he has the Sutra of Mountains and Seas, and since then he has been everywhere since then.
So, where can he quickly improve his combat ability, at least resist the attacks of beasts in the mountains and seas, calmly depict the scenery of the mountains and seas, and complete the mountains and seas in his hands step by step?
Although it is now an era of peace, there has been no major war in the mountains and seas since the battle of the rise of Great Xia more than ten years ago, but even if it is a peaceful year, the depths of those immortal mountains are also a forbidden place for ordinary people. The ban on trespassers was not a joke, even a hill like Tiantai Mountain had that kind of forbidden place, and it was the only place he couldn't enter.
From this point of view, it is more difficult to complete the Classic of Mountains and Seas than imagined, and if you don't have enough strength, this is simply an impossible task.
After thinking about this, Mei Xue sat under a fruit tree full of red apples and began to plan her future in earnest.
First of all, walking through the mountains is currently the most effective way to supplement the Shan Hai Jing. Since it is called Mountains and Seas, then the seas will also be his must-go places in the future, which means that the unknown risks are even more unpredictable, and no one knows how many dangers there are in the boundless seas compared to most of the mountains that have been explored.
Then, in order to effectively explore the mountains and seas, he must first improve his combat effectiveness. A junior pharmacist is obviously not enough, and he must go to a higher academy to study and comprehend a stronger immortal method.
Then, based on his current advantages, as a pharmacist and possessing a top-level auxiliary immortal method like the Cloud Mist Technique, the best place to go is ......
"Bang!" While Mei Xue was pondering, a red apple smashed on his head, causing his neck to crook and an idea flashed in his mind.
"That's right, Blue Dragon Academy!"
"Bang!" Another apple smashed.
"I should go to the Blue Dragon Academy first to learn the superior immortal method, and it is a battle-oriented ......"
"Bang! Bang! Bang! The red apples fell one after another, so that Mei Xue had to raise her head to see who was so difficult to get along with him.
However, what made him strange was that there was no one at all, this was not a hundred-year-old tree, an apple tree several meters high could be seen from head to foot at a glance, not even half a person.
Hundreds of meters away, a charming girl in green clothes wagged her tail and hummed a song while biting on a freshly picked apple:
"Clear apple fragrance, smash fools, smash fools."
"It's clear and the sky is good, smash the stupid, smash the stupid."
"The wind and the sun are beautiful, the apple is fragrant, the apple is fragrant."
Mei Xue, who did not find the murderer, finally attributed the fall of the apple to the incredible phenomenon of nature, and sorted out the route she should take now under the apple tree.
For the vast majority of ordinarily gifted immortal warlocks, graduating from the junior academy is already the end of their learning career.
Those who are good at attacking immortals will participate in the hunting team to catch all kinds of rare spirit beasts to make money, those who are good at defending immortals will join the escort team, and those who are good at assisting immortals are basically going to life professions such as pharmacists, painters, and carvers.
Only the immortal warlocks who are gifted and have the support of their families will go to higher academies or mountain gates to study and try to go further.
In the midst of the mountains and seas, there are different mountain gates and academies, and they also have different entry requirements.
For example, the Xiaoleiyin Temple in the Western Lingshan is a mountain gate that only accepts the children of Buddhism, and it is also the place where Master Huiguo is going to take Mei Xue.
On the Yellow Mountain, where the immortal law is prosperous, there is also the Tianlin Gate opened by the Huang family, a top immortal warlock family, which is a powerful combat immortal gate famous for its melee immortal arts, and at the same time, there is also a Baiyun Qi Sect, which is an immortal gate that is dominated by magic.
On Yin Mountain, the strongest mountain range is the Huangquan Immortal Gate, which shocks the world with the way of the Yellow Spring.
However, not all immortal sects are like this, and there are also academies that open their doors widely, regardless of their ethnic origin, such as the four immortal law academies that occupy the four domains.
The Eastern Qinglong Academy is an immortal sect that focuses on pharmacists and auxiliary professions, but there are also powerful fighting schools that master the power of the green thunder and the battle methods of the green dragon.
Southern Vermilion Bird Academy, the academy established by Wu Zhu and the Demon Clan, is the college with the largest number of cultivators from the Demon Clan among the many immortal sects, and the Holy Beast Vermilion Bird is said to be still alive.
The Western White Tiger Academy, the place where sword cultivation originated, the White Tiger is the main killer, known as the mainstream sword cultivation academy that breaks ten thousand laws with one sword, and it is said that there are thousands of sword cultivation schools inherited in it.
Northern Xuanwu Academy, the immortal gate based on deduction and divine calculation, the inheritance place of congenital and acquired gossip, astrology, and water mirroring, and the most mysterious college among the four major academies.
These four major academies are the most prestigious immortal law schools in the entire mountains and seas, and countless immortal warlocks want to enter the cultivation place.
However, although the four universities and colleges are wide open and do not look at the origin and race of students, the entrance exam is unusually strict, and it is light to say that it is easy to pick one or the other.
Even in this era of prosperity of the Immortal Law, the recruitment quota of each academy has never been full, and in the annual examination, I don't know how many geniuses in the eyes of people cry bitterly and become disillusioned.
Those who can have the confidence to go to these four colleges are not self-confident talents, or even the top talent owners in a mountain. Ninety-nine percent of these geniuses can be eliminated, which is enough to prove how difficult the entrance exam of the four major colleges is.
If it was Mei Xue before, she wouldn't have thought about taking this level of entry exam at all. He had neither exceptional talent nor the full support of any family, and he could not even reach the basic entry line for the exam.
However, he is not the same person he was a month ago, and he is not the ordinary pharmacist who can't do anything.
Because he has the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and he has the Cloud and Mist Immortal Technique.
As a pharmacist of the Yan Clan, he was more certain than anyone else that he could manipulate the clouds and mist, and he had already walked in front of countless geniuses. When those geniuses were still cultivating intermediate immortal arts, he already possessed a top-level auxiliary immortal technique.
Top-level immortal arts, even if they are auxiliary types, are also at a level that those so-called geniuses can't imagine, and even those elites who have graduated from the four major academies may not be able to possess this level of ability.
This is a gift from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, a great creation given to him by the seemingly unreliable little dragon, with such a top-level immortal technique, why can't he have confidence in himself? Why can't you take the entrance exam of the four major colleges that are unattainable in the eyes of ordinary people.
