Chapter 10, Flame and Red Fire
A month and a half later, in a mountain range at the junction of Linhai Mansion and Muyang Mansion, a white figure slowly walked out of the woods.
"The front is Muyang Mansion, which belongs to the area under the jurisdiction of Taihao Academy. Ji Fengtian looked into the distance and sighed.
"Babble!" the little white man stood on Ji Fengtian's shoulder, his paws kept drawing.
"Li'er ......" Ji Fengtian looked at the air in a daze, feeling confused for a while.
A month ago, when Ji Fengtian and Luo Qingli walked to Hanyang County, a pitch-black figure appeared in front of Ji Fengtian and the two, without any words, and grabbed Luo Qingli with a flick of his sleeves. Ji Fengtian did not hesitate to burn the essence and blood in his body, but he still couldn't break the confinement, and watched Luo Qingli being taken away.
From that moment on, Ji Fengtian realized his insignificance. That day, Ji Fengtian experienced what heartache is, and on that day, Ji Fengtian drunk himself.
Gently touching Xiaobai's head, Ji Fengtian took a step and walked towards the city not far ahead.
Half a day later, Ji Fengtian came to the front of the city, looking at the Huoyue City on the city gate, Ji Fengtian felt empty in his heart.
As if seeing the discomfort in Ji Fengtian's heart, Xiaobai stretched out his claws and scratched Ji Fengtian's hair.
"I'm fine!" Gently grabbing Xiaobai's claws, a man and a beast stepped into Huoyue City.
After entering Huoyue City, looking at the shops on both sides, Ji Fengtian saw an inn called Food for the Sky, so he walked in with Xiaobai.
Finding a place to sit by the window, a guy came up and greeted, "Guest, what do you want?"
"You guys here, give me all of them. Ji Fengtian said to the guy.
Hearing Ji Fengtian's words, the guy was stunned, looked at Ji Fengtian carefully, and saw that Ji Fengtian was just a teenager, the guy's face was a little unsightly.
"As he says!" a voice sounded from behind.
Ji Fengtian turned around and saw a young man in a blue robe walking in with an elegant face.
"Okay, Young Master Yan!" the guy hurriedly nodded in agreement.
"Still stunned what to do, hurry up!"
"Yes, yes!" the man came to his senses and hurried to the back kitchen.
"Hehe, this little brother, I don't know if I can sit here?"
"Brother, please!" Ji Fengtian said.
"Haha, since that's the case, you're welcome. The boy smiled and sat down.
"My name is Yan Chihuo, because I like to eat, so they call me Yan Foodie again, I don't know my brother's surname?" Yan Chihuo grabbed the teapot in his hand, poured a cup for Ji Fengtian, and poured another cup for himself.
"My name is Ji Fengtian. Ji Fengtian said casually.
"It turned out to be Brother Ji, presumably you are also going to apply for the Taihao Academy!" Yan Chihuo asked after taking a sip of tea.
Hearing Yan Chihuo's words, Ji Fengtian became vigilant in his heart, and his eyes were locked on Yan Chihuo.
Seeing Ji Fengtian's expression, Yan Chihuo was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Brother Ji, you misunderstood, in half a month, Taihao Academy will enroll students." At this time, most of the teenagers who came to Huoyue City participated in the enrollment of Taihao Academy. ”
Hearing Yan Chihuo's words, Ji Fengtian turned his head to look at the rest of the hall. Sure enough, there are indeed more teenagers here than Lin Haicheng. I listened to a few words with my ears sideways, and found that what they were talking about was the enrollment of Taihao Academy, so I relaxed my vigilance.
"Hehe, Brother Ji, I don't know which main city you are going to take the assessment?" Yan Chihuo asked.
"I don't know what Brother Yan means?" Ji Fengtian asked puzzled.
"That's right, because Taihao Academy's enrollment is auditions in major cities, followed by selection in the main city, and then going to Taihao Mansion to participate in the final assessment. Yan Chihuo said.
"I don't know where Brother Chihuo is going to participate?" Ji Fengtian asked rhetorically.
"Don't hide it from Brother Ji, my father is the city lord of Huoyue City, so I naturally participated in Huoyue City!" Yan Chihuo said with a smile.
"Oh?" Ji Fengtian looked at Yan Chihuo and found that Yan Chihuo's cultivation was actually at the seventh layer of the Qi Sea Realm.
"Hehe, presumably Brother Ji doesn't know the rules of the academy's admissions!" Yan Chihuo said with a smile.
"Please advise Brother Chihuo!" Ji Fengtian asked humbly.
"Hehe, the academy admissions require that the age of the academy must not exceed eighteen, and the cultivation must not be lower than the Qi Sea Realm, and the third-order alchemists, refiners, and rune array masters can be exempted from the assessment. Yan Chihuo said with a smile.
"That's the rule. Ji Fengtian suddenly realized.
"I don't know how old Brother Ji is this year?" Yan Chihuo picked up the wine jug that the guy came up, gave Ji Fengtian a full glass, and asked with a smile.
"I'm thirteen years old this year!" Ji Fengtian said.
"Brother Ji has cultivated the Hidden Cultivation Technique?" Yan Chihuo asked.
"Yes. Ji Fengtian said simply, because as long as he is a cultivator, he will definitely be able to sense the other party's breath, unless he is much higher than himself, or if he is cultivating the hidden cultivation method.
"Why don't Brother Ji participate in the audition in Huoyue City?" Yan Chihuo asked with a smile.
"This ......," Ji Fengtian hesitated.
"Brother Ji, don't hesitate, if you pass the assessment of Huoyue City, my father will take all the people who participated in the assessment to Muyang City at that time. Yan Chihuo said.
Ji Fengtian looked at Yan Chihuo, not knowing what to say, and couldn't see through Yan Chihuo's purpose.
As if seeing Ji Fengtian's doubts, Yan Chihuo explained with a smile: "Hehe, I don't mean anything else, just thinking that if you can get the first place in the assessment, our Huoyue City will also be able to enjoy the scenery, and we can also get some rewards." ”
"Hehe, since that's the case, I'm better off obeying my fate than being respectful. Ji Fengtian said to Yan Chihuo.
"Hehe, okay, we won't get drunk today!" Yan Chihuo raised his wine glass and toasted Ji Fengtian with a glass of wine.
"By the way, Brother Ji doesn't have a place to settle down yet, so it's better to follow me to the other courtyard prepared for you in the City Lord's Mansion. Yan Chihuo greeted warmly.
"Okay!" Ji Fengtian agreed without thinking, because he could feel that Yan Chihuo was a righteous gentleman, but his personality was a little arrogant.
"Brother Chihuo, I don't know what needs to be done in the audition?" asked Ji Fengtian.
"The audition is to test the bone age and cultivation, and after reaching the standard, enter the field to participate in the competition, and eliminate some people, the specific number of people is different every year. ”
"I see. Ji Fengtian nodded, not saying anything. On the contrary, it was Yan Chihuo, who looked at Xiao Bai and saw that Xiao Bai and Ji Fengtian didn't look at him, and they didn't ask more.
After a meal, Yan Chihuo took Ji Fengtian towards the west of the city.
Half an hour later, the two appeared in front of a huge courtyard and looked at the plaque in front of the door with the words "Qingshan Courtyard" written on it.
"Hehe, Brother Ji, this is the residence we have prepared for the people participating in the assessment. Yan Chihuo said with a smile.
"Young master, you're here!" As soon as the two of them reached the door, a servant greeted them.
"Hehe, find an upper room for Brother Ji!" Yan Chihuo instructed the servant.
"Okay, young master, young master Ji, please inside!" The servant turned around and walked in front, leading Ji Fengtian and the two towards the depths of the courtyard.
"Brother Chihuo, I don't know how many people live here?" Ji Fengtian asked curiously when he saw that most of the rooms were already occupied.
"There are more than 200 people living there now!" Yan Chihuo said uncertainly.
"More than two hundred?" Ji Fengtian said in surprise.
"Is more than 200 a lot?" Yan Chihuo said puzzled.
"As far as I know, each province has eighteen cities, and there are five prefectures under Taihao Academy. In this way, nearly 20,000 people will sign up. Ji Fengtian said.
"No, not 20,000, it's 200,000, or even more!" Yan Chihuo said, shaking his head.
"Two hundred thousand?" Ji Fengtian was not calm at all.
"Yes, less than one-tenth of the number of applicants I have invited to Joy City. Yan Chihuo said.
"Less than a tenth?" Ji Fengtian was completely stunned, you must know that in the Tianyue Dynasty, it is good to be able to enter the innate under the age of eighteen, as for the Qi Sea Realm, people who are hundreds of years old may not be able to reach it.
"Young master, that's it in front. The servant said to the two.
Ji Fengtian looked up and found that the houses in front of him were small courtyards, both in terms of decoration and spaciousness, they were much better than those he had seen before.
"Brother Ji, I wronged you to live in room No. 3 first. Yan Chihuo said.
"Brother Chihuo is polite, I don't know where to sign up?" asked Ji Fengtian.
"The time for registration is just ten days later, because I need to be on site for testing, and I will come to inform you at that time. ”
"Then thank you, Brother Chihuo. Ji Fengtian said with a smile.
"In that case, then I'll take my leave first!" Yan Chihuo was about to leave.
"Young Master Yan, you're just in time!" Just as Yan Chihuo was about to leave, a voice suddenly sounded.
Turning around, Ji Fengtian saw a square-faced young man walking over.
"Young Master Yan, I want to ask you, why don't you let me live in the upper room?" the young man said angrily.
"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Fang Qing, that's the case, the upper room here is already full, it's better to be wronged by Brother Fang Qing, the audition is about to start. ”
"It's full, why is he just here, so he can live in?" Fang Qing said angrily pointing at Ji Fengtian.
"Brother Ji has already booked the room. Yan Chihuo explained.
"Brother Ji, don't associate with this Fang Qing, this person has a bad character and forcibly lives in my Qingshan Villa. "Yan Chihuo transmitted the message to Ji Fengtian.
"Hmph, it's obvious that he just came!" Fang Qing was furious, without hesitation, and smashed his fist towards Ji Fengtian.
Ji Fengtian suddenly felt a huge force attacking, because the distance between several people was less than one meter, and when Ji Fengtian came back to his senses, his fist had already hit Ji Fengtian's chest fiercely.
Feeling the hot pain in his chest, Ji Fengtian's face suddenly became unsightly.
"Fang Qing, you're too much!" A palm knocked Fang Qing back, Yan Chihuo looked at Ji Fengtian and asked, "Brother Ji, are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" Ji Fengtian patted his chest and looked at Fang Qing with an unkind expression.
"Hmph!" Seeing that Ji Fengtian was not injured, Fang Qing left without looking back.
Although Fang Qing's character is not good, he is very careful, and he wields eighty percent of his strength with the fourth-layer cultivation of the Qi Sea Realm, and the other party actually has no reaction at all, which shows that the cultivation is profound.
"No, you have to make this kid look good. Fang Qing's alarm clock suddenly flashed a plan.
Seeing Fang Qing leaving, Yan Chihuo looked at Ji Fengtian apologetically, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Ji Fengtian.
"Brother Chihuo, I'm fine, you go get busy first!" Ji Fengtian said.
Seeing that Ji Fengtian was really fine, Yan Chihuo relieved himself and left with the servant.
"Pay more attention to Fang Qing and don't let him cause trouble. Yan Chihuo said a word to the servant and left.
