The blue sky was filled with wisps of white clouds, and the afterglow of the setting sun spread to the world, like golden veins covering the earth.

West Spirit Realm, Ancient City, Training Ground.

The figures of dozens of teenagers are particularly eye-catching, their faces are green, but their expressions are very serious, sitting quietly on the ground, covered with golden colors illuminated by the light of dusk, as if none of them want to waste the last moment of the day.

At the front of the training ground, a big man was looking around at the group of teenagers, looking at their serious appearances and nodding slightly, showing satisfaction.

For the upcoming entrance exams of various colleges, Hu San also has a little expectation for his students.

At this moment, a discordant snoring sound rang out from the back of the crowd, subtle but rhythmic, drawing everyone's attention to the past.

is a young man, and the people around him can't sit still at this time.

"High Wind!"

Hu San's eyes widened and he said angrily.

"Huh?"

The young man who was still asleep made a lazy sound, looked dazed, heard someone call him, raised his hand and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

Standing up slowly, he saw the big man who had already gritted his teeth at the front, and replied:

"Teacher Hu, are you going to break up?" he said and rubbed his nose again.

As soon as the words were finished, everyone immediately laughed and leaned back and forth.

"Tsk, look at you one by one, the pressure is so much that you are nervous, and you can laugh at anything. ”

The boy who was called Gao Feng shook his head meaningfully.

Hu San saw Gao Feng's cynical appearance, his thin figure stood in the afterglow of the sunset, his soft and scattered black hair fluttered slightly in the wind, and his childishness was not taken off, but it always gave people a sense of tragedy at the end of the road.

So Hu San pointed at Gao Feng and said sharply:

"Tomorrow is the entrance examination of the academy, you kid still don't take it to heart, are you taking what I said today as a deaf ear again!"

Gao Feng pursed his lips, smiled, and replied:

Actually, I hear that once in a while. ”

Gao Feng cleared his throat and put on the same posture as his teacher.

"That's what you said......"

"There are four great realms that we know now, and the land is vast and vast, and countless lives are born here. As a result, the coexistence of all races and the competition between them for resources led to endless wars among themselves. Terrans are inherently weak and devastated. It wasn't until the first batch of cultivators appeared in the human race and began to cultivate and develop the yin qi, from which they obtained infinite yin power, that the human race began to have the ability to resist the aggression of other races. Since the establishment of the Scholars Alliance 10,000 years ago, the mainland cultivation system has begun to take shape. Cultivators are divided into ...... from low to high, gathering spirits, collecting qi, refining yin, and breaking through."

"That's it!"

Hu San interrupted Gao Feng, who was still imitating himself, and sighed helplessly, he really said his original words word for word.

Then he began to admonish the crowd in a serious tone:

Do you know that if you want to go to a broader field, you must improve your strength, in this world where the strong are respected, fists are the last word, and you must have an enterprising heart. ”

"Teacher, life is too short, and you have to be happy. Gao Feng shrugged his shoulders, nonchalant.

One sentence ignited everyone's passion, and a group of teenagers roared and coaxed, and the scene became uncontrollable.

At the moment when the sun disappeared into the sky, the boring training ground finally became lively.

Feeling the gradually darkening sky, Hu San had no choice but to smile bitterly and let everyone disperse, watching this group of teenagers drift away in giggling.

"Hmph, waste is waste, no matter how good your memory is, you will only be trampled underfoot. ”

A young man dressed in blue squinted at Gao Feng coldly in the crowd, his eyes were full of contempt and arrogance.

Gao Feng indifferently looked at the young man in blue not far away.

His name is Zhang Xin, he was already in the early stage of gathering spirits three years ago, and his cultivation far exceeded that of his peers, and he was known as the pride of the new generation of the ancient city, and he was also a star-studded existence in his huge family.

Zhang Xin has always looked at Gao Feng unpleasantly, and in the past few years, he will target him whenever he has the opportunity, without the slightest mercilessness.

After listening to Zhang Xin's ridicule, Gao Feng was silent, but the second dog beside him accosted him.

"Zhang Xin, how can you say that, have you forgotten when Brother Feng was at the highlight three years ago?"

Zhang Xin shook his head disdainfully and said, "That was before, and now I have already received an invitation from the Water Mirror Academy. As for him, he went to the Guling Academy, and I heard that he still went to study theories, which is really a joke. ”

None of the people around said anything, and seemed to admit what Zhang Xin said.

Among the four major domains of East Spirit, West Spirit, Northern Plains, and Southern Wilderness, the strongest is the East Spirit Realm, and the Water Mirror Academy, as the second most recognized existence in the East Spirit Realm, is quite difficult to receive its invitation.

Everyone didn't look down on Gao Feng, but in their hearts, they felt that he couldn't be compared with Zhang Xin, or even as good as most people.

Gao Feng secretly clenched his fists, glanced at Zhang Xin coldly, and walked out indifferently, ignoring everyone's discussions.

Dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Gao Feng's back, or regret or sigh, Zhang Xin still had a mocking expression, but he gradually couldn't hear these.

......

Stepping on the moonlight, Gao Feng still looks desireless. The lonely figure was stretched diagonally in the moonlight.

He has failed to gather spirits for three consecutive years, and he has no extravagant expectations for the admission assessment of the Guling Academy tomorrow.

Walk back home, in a small thatched hut. A meal was already prepared on the table, and a middle-aged couple was waiting for him with a smile on their faces.

"Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, I'm back!"

Gao Feng took a seat and immediately picked up his chopsticks and feasted.

When he was young, he was entrusted by a young man to the old Wang's family, and the couple always insisted that Gao Feng call him uncle and aunt, just because of the illusory promise to the young man back then.

"Eat slowly......" Aunt Wang said with concern.

"I'm going to the Guling Courtyard tomorrow, are you sure about Fengzi?" Uncle Wang sandwiched a chicken leg into Gao Feng's bowl again.

"Uh......h So be it. ”

Gao Feng bit the chicken leg in his mouth and was vague, after all, the two couples were his closest people, and he didn't want them to be disappointed too much.

"I heard that no one has learned the theories of the Guling Academy, so if I go, I will have a good chance of success. ”

The couple smiled and nodded.

"I'm done. ”

Gao Feng hurriedly finished eating, and quickly ran back to his room, leaving an old couple helplessly looking at the incomplete meal.

The small room was very simple, full of books that had been read countless times, and the white moonlight shone on the ground through the window, leaving a desolate mark.

Gao Feng silently lit a candle, and the warm light instantly filled the room.

Then he walked over to the cupboard next to the bed, took out a yellow package, patted the dust off it, and opened it.

Inside was a black wooden box, finely carved and full of antique atmosphere, and Gao Feng opened it again.

A book, a jade bead, a key.

There are only three simple things, and nothing else is useful.

Gao Feng picked up the golden book, this was a practice book, thinking that this was the only thing left by the young man, so he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and tried to start recalling, but he still couldn't think of anything valuable.

Just because he forcibly tried to practice this exercise back then, he turned from a genius who was declared a moment into a waste of wood, and the last step of gathering spirits always collapsed inexplicably.

There are still three golden words written on the book.

Confusion.

Just like when I first looked at it, it was vigorous and powerful, and his golden eyes were even shining.

Gao Feng had already memorized the contents of it mechanically in his mind, and when he thought of his condition, he couldn't cry or laugh.

"Sit quietly and cross-legged, with both hands to the sky, draw the yin spirit of heaven and earth, and water the body; the spirit is like silk, and if you go for thirty-six weeks, you can gather the spirit; if the day is not smooth, the luck is not passable, and then you can do it ......"

Gao Feng did not cultivate the Chaos Divine Technique, but like all cultivators, he ran the most ordinary 'Gathering Spirit Decision' several times.

Sitting on the bed with his eyes closed, the goose-yellow candlelight shining on Gao Feng's handsome face.

From the beginning of the tranquility around him, a trace of black particles gradually appeared, and his body became hazy, and the black particles suddenly entered his body, and in Gao Feng's body, wisps of them swam, one circle, two circles......

I don't know how long it took, Gao Feng suddenly opened his eyes suddenly, and a wave of water ripples emanated from his body, sweeping around him, blowing a wave of candles that were about to burn out.

Gao Feng let out a long sigh and said loudly to himself:

"Your sister, Lao Tzu succeeded in attracting spirits into his body for the first time, and he completed thirty-six weeks in three months, why was the final gathering of spirits unsuccessful, it's been three years, who did I recruit to provoke?"

After complaining, there was only bitterness left in his smile, Gao Feng never wanted others to know about his own problems, so he lay down on the bed weakly and covered his head with a quilt.

At this time, there was a loud noise outside the house.

Gao Feng went out to inspect the situation, but when he just showed his head, someone grabbed his hair and pulled it out hard.

I only saw a lewd man, carrying a big knife and pushing him to Aunt Wang's side.

The room was already in disarray, the tables were overturned, the food was scattered all over the floor, and the two people who were traveling with the lewd man were rummaging through the cabinets to find something.

Uncle Wang first looked at Gao Feng and saw that he was not injured, so he whispered to the three knife-wielding men:

"The money has been taken by all of you, and there really isn't that much. ”

When the lewd man saw that he had found something valuable, he smiled and said to Uncle Wang:

"From now on, the entire ancient city is the territory of our Purple Dragon Society, and the ancient village is covered by my Ah Biao, this time I am in a good mood, and next time it will not be so gentle."

After the shouting, Ah Biao left with his two subordinates holding their heads high, leaving Lao Wang and his wife still standing in shock.

Gao Feng looked up at Uncle Wang, and there were obvious scars on his face from the push just now.

"When I enter the Guling Academy, I can use my identity as a disciple to seek refuge in the academy, and then no one will come to harass our family. Gao Feng said with relief, but his heart seemed to be blocked by something.

He had never had such a strong desire for power, and if he had stepped into the Spirit Gathering Realm three years ago, he would not be at least as he is today, because of the cowardice that caused him to be at a loss.

"These guys, that is, taking advantage of the village chief's absence, don't worry, Fengzi, when the village chief comes back, they will definitely be cleaned up......"

Uncle Wang grinned and silently picked up the chair that had fallen to the ground, and Aunt Wang also smiled and agreed, as if nothing had happened, and the three of them went to sleep after cleaning up the house in silence.

Early the next morning, Gao Feng got up, took some daily necessities, said goodbye to Lao Wang and his wife, and prepared to embark on the road to the Guling Monastery alone.

Dead horses should be live horse doctors, no matter what, you have to try it yourself, Gao Feng thought to himself, and the fighting spirit in his heart rose.

Before leaving, Uncle Wang patted him on the shoulder and educated him: "Fengzi, you have been smart since you were a child, but you have to remember one thing when you go out, you have to be low-key, and make a fortune in a muffled voice......

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Aunt Wang's complaint.

"What nonsense, you old and unserious thing. ”

"I'm talking to a child, what do you know about a woman?"

Gao Feng didn't say much, just quietly looked at the old couple bickering, as if he felt a lot more comfortable, and only turned around and left after a long time.

......

Outside the ancient village, on the forest path leading to Quancheng, Gao Feng was playing with the pocket jade bead in his hand, while carefully inspecting it.

The sunlight that shuttled through the beads through the gaps in the leaves clearly emerged a spiritual character in it, shining brightly.

"I hope I can find some clues when I go to the Guling Academy. ”

Gao Feng seems to like to talk to himself, and only relies on constant longing to pass the time along the way.

Just as he was about to put the jade bead away, he only heard a 'whoosh', and a black shadow swept over his head, making Gao Feng almost blown to the ground by the air current.

By the time he reacted, the jade bead in his hand had disappeared.

Gao Feng suddenly panicked, looked around, looked ahead, and found that on a tree branch in the distance, a monkey was standing on it, "whining and squeaking" with his jade beads and waving, and then turned around and twisted the monkey's butt at him.

The monkey was very red all over, red like fire, especially the buttocks, as if deliberately mocking him.

This abrupt scene caught Gao Feng off guard, and after reacting, he bent down, picked up a stone and threw it at the monkey.

The red monkey only twisted slightly, and did not dodge, and the stone obviously deviated from the direction and flew out by grazing the monkey's tail.

Gao Feng saw that the stone did not hit, and immediately rushed over, wanting to catch this "flying monkey".

The red monkey also realized that the human was coming after him, and with a "whoosh" he ran out again, standing on a tree farther away, and deliberately provoking him again.

"Your uncle's. Gao Feng cursed in his mouth.

After chasing it out like this for a long time, Gao Feng was already exhausted and panting, supporting his knees with both hands, and viciously watched the monkey in the tree snort at it, making a thumbs down motion.

The red monkey understood his movements, and was also a little angry, and in an instant it grabbed the branch under its feet, swung in a circle, and then rushed towards the high wind.

The red monkey grabbed him in the face with great speed, then kicked him in the abdomen with both feet, and jumped back into the tree with the help of force.

Gao Feng held his stomach with one hand and touched the scars on his face that were scratched by monkeys with the other.

"I'm going, it's all bleeding! Bear monkey, see if I catch you and don't pluck your hair!"

As if he understood, the red monkey rolled up its paws back and forth and grinned with its teeth.

At this moment, the jade bead on the red monkey's paw changed, slowly absorbing a trace of blood from Gao Feng's face.

"Buzz ......"

The jade bead vibrated and spread out a milky white light, which covered the red monkey in an instant.

As if electrocuted, the monkey rolled its eyes, lost consciousness, and fell straight down, motionless as if incapacitated.

Gao Feng jumped smartly to avoid it, walked over and grabbed the jade bead and looked at it carefully.

The bead is still the same as before, restored to its original appearance, and there is nothing special.

Gao Feng carefully put away the jade beads and looked at the frightened red monkey with a wicked smile.

Then, the howls of ghosts and wolves rang out in the woods......

After Gao Feng cleaned up the monkey, he was already a little anxious, and he cleaned up the red hair in his hand and hurried away.

The time was a little late, he was supposed to go out early in the morning, but today happened to be the last day, but he killed a bear monkey halfway, and he accelerated his pace when he thought of it.

When Gao Feng arrived in Quancheng and inquired about the location of the Guling Temple, it was already early.

He did not slack off, and immediately rushed all the way over, but when he arrived there, he did not see a sea of people, and there were very few people left.

Several disciples of the Guling Academy had already begun to pack up their things and leave, Gao Feng pouted, but still stepped forward.

He asked a disciple-like figure who was sweeping the floor, "Excuse me, is it too late to sign up for the academy now?"

"Late, you're out of play this year, wait for the next time. ”

The disciple was wearing a black and white disciple's uniform, with the word "ancient" embroidered on his left chest, and replied indifferently, without even raising his head.

He has seen too many people today, and he has never encountered any situation, and his heart has long been like an ancient well and a deep pool, unwavering.

"Can you be accommodating, something is wrong with me here. Gao Feng's tone was sincere.

He didn't want to give up, and the next time, it would be two years later.

"If you can't say it, you can't do it. The disciple was a little impatient.

"Originally, I wanted to go to the Academy of Letters to develop, but since that's the case, then I'll quit. ”

Gao Feng had a little headache, clenched his fists and prepared to leave, thinking about where to sleep tonight.

"Huh?!"

After listening to his words, the young man immediately threw down the broom in his hand excitedly, and grasped Gao Feng's hand with a smile on his face.

The other Guling Academy disciples around also looked at Gao Feng with very strange eyes.

"Little brother, say it earlier. If you want to talk about theory, you are right, we have an all-inclusive accommodation here, we can provide the best quality study atmosphere here......" The disciple began to gush.

Gao Feng was made uncomfortable by his sudden enthusiasm, and immediately stopped him and asked:

"Isn't it over today, what kind of fuss are you making here?"

"My name is Zhen Buyi, you can call me Senior Brother Zhen in the future, I am in charge of the distribution of disciples in the Guling Academy, and I also take a lot of private work, I see that you are a sincere person, so I will directly cover it, here I have the final say!"

Zhen didn't lose a loss and patted his chest, but his confident expression made Gao Feng a little suspicious.

It's that easy?

Gao Feng was very helpless, but he still took his exclusive disciple token, took the disciple uniform and followed the smiling Senior Brother Zhen into the gate, and Gao Feng became an official disciple of the Guling Academy......

West Spirit Realm, Cui Feng.

The mountain is surrounded by fairy energy, which makes this mountain peak appear more sacred and solemn.

In the garden of flowers in the mountains, a graceful figure is walking among the flowers, and the temperament of the dust is like a fairy in the sky, with long hair and waist, exquisite and clear. With a smile, there is a hint of cuteness.

It's a man who sees it, and it is inevitable that he won't have the urge to protect her.

In this beautiful picture, a bare monkey suddenly appeared next to the girl, extremely ugly and incompatible with the surrounding environment.

The monkey hung his arms and looked loveless, walked to the girl in pain, and raised his head and shed two lines of tears.

"Who did this to make my Red Spirit Monkey look like this?"

The girl frowned, stroked the red spirit monkey that was plucked all over her body, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she saw that it was red and white.

"Little monkey, I will definitely avenge you, find out the big villain, and pluck out his hair"

The girl said, biting her lower lip and waving her little fist, and the monkey nodded pitifully.

......

"Ah, who scolded me?"

Gao Feng walked in the quiet Guling Courtyard, and suddenly couldn't help but tremble.

As the sun set, the burning clouds stained half of the sky red, and he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth as he looked at the tall walls around the academy.
