readx;? More than 90 miles east of Jinling City, there is a secluded valley outside the world that is close to the mountains and water, this valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side is facing the water, although it is a valley, but the terrain is unusually flat. Although this valley is tens of miles wide in a radius of tens www.biquge.info of miles, it has not been discovered for many years because of the lush vegetation in the valley and the fact that the road leading to this valley is only a rugged path only a few feet wide at the overlap of the two mountains, and the intersection is overgrown with shrubs and dense grass.

This natural valley that has never been disturbed by people, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth all day long, condensing the mighty energy of the sun and the moon, it took tens of thousands of years to have such an aura convergence today, and cultivating here can not only gather qi and concentrate on cultivating soul power, but also have no distracting thoughts essence mind, it can really be described as a natural and excellent place to cultivate.

This paradise was discovered thousands of years ago, and because the person who discovered this valley at that time was an unknown hunter nearby, he chased an elk to this place several times, and then found this valley by chance, so this valley is also named "Deer Valley"!

And with the change of the times, today's Xunlu Valley has long since lost the silence of the past, and even the countless plants and trees that once covered the mountains and wilderness have also disappeared, replaced by quaint courtyards and tall and magnificent halls, and of course, there are tens of thousands of cultivators living in it, and the former Xunlu Valley has gradually taken on a new name, Holy Soul Academy!

Holy Soul Academy, this name was personally set by the then Emperor Yanming, in order to hope that this academy could cultivate more and stronger soul powerhouses for the Holy Domain Continent, so as to revitalize the prosperity and prosperity of the Holy Domain Continent!

At that time, the Sacred Continent was full of sects, but the concept of the academy was extremely vague, and its original purpose was only to cultivate confidants and strong people for the emperor, so as to balance the influence of the lords of the major sects on the authority of the emperor, so it was personally blessed by the emperor, and no sect was allowed to provoke and persecute.

And the Holy Soul Academy has become the first true soul power cultivation academy in the Holy Domain!

Although the various academies are no longer just a place to cultivate henchmen for the emperor, the tradition of receiving the emperor's blessing has continued!

The Holy Soul Academy, as the oldest and most senior soul power cultivation college, has now deservedly become the most noble academy in the Holy Domain, and it is also the only place in the Holy Domain that is located near Jinling City, the imperial capital of the Holy Domain, where a large number of soul power are gathered, but they are not monitored by the Imperial Army.

The Holy Soul Academy faces the recruitment of students for the new year in the late autumn every year, so every year at this time, there will be teenagers from all over the Holy Realm Continent gathered here, and since it is impossible for all these people who come to sign up to be admitted to the academy, before officially entering the academy, the academy will arrange some tutors to set up a venue outside the valley for assessment, and only those who successfully pass the assessment are eligible to officially enter the Holy Soul Academy to practice!

The Sacred Continent was full of speculative merchants, and it was precisely because they saw that a large number of people would gather outside the Deer Hunt Valley in the late autumn every year, so they opened taverns and tea sheds outside the valley, in order to make a windfall on these students who came to sign up!

Therefore, walking all the way along the foot of the mountain, starting from a place more than ten miles away from the Holy Soul Academy, you can see taverns one after another, the taverns and tea sheds are of different sizes and grades, but one thing is certain, that is, the closer to the Holy Soul Academy, the more expensive it is.

It was already noon when Lu Yifan and his party came here, and because the carriage was not allowed on the mountain road, they could only rely on their own legs for the rest of the journey. At this moment, the mountain road is already bustling with people who have come to sign up, and the taverns on both sides of the mountain road are also very lively, full of shouts of pushing glasses and changing glasses, clinking glasses and laughter and laughter coming and going.

"It's not like a mountain here, it's more like a bazaar!" Lu Yifan looked at the lively scene around him in surprise, "Even if it's the most prosperous street in Jinling City, I'm afraid there won't be so many people, right?"

"The mountain road here is already narrow, and the two sides are occupied by one tavern after another, coupled with the large number of people who sign up here every year, of course, it is very lively in comparison!" Lu Jun said with a light smile, "Yifan, it's noon at the moment, and the mentor in charge of recruitment must have also rested, why don't we also find a tavern to sit down and rest?"

Lu Jun said this and glanced up at the scorching sun above him, although it was already late autumn, it would still make people feel a burst of heat at noon.

"That's it, look at my throat, it's already dry and smoking!" Lu Wencai hurriedly echoed with a smile.

"It's okay!" Lu Yifan nodded and smiled, "Then let's go further and find a tavern to rest in the place near the recruitment!"

"Okay!" Lu Wencai saw Lu Yifan nodding, and immediately cheered, and then took the lead in running forward, stumbling along the way, I don't know how many passers-by I bumped into.

And Lu Yifan, who had already been surprised by Lu Wencai's personality, could only look at each other and smile bitterly, and then quickly followed!

More than ten miles away, on the rather crowded mountain road, Lu Yifan and a few people actually walked for nearly an hour before they saw a banner with the four big characters "Holy Soul Academy" written in the distance, which was the place where the Holy Soul Academy recruited and assessed this time!

And Lu Wencai, who was originally happily rushing to the first, somehow didn't go directly to the tavern to rest, but stood on the mountain road in a daze, not knowing what he was doing!

"Wencai!" Lu Yifan, who followed closely, looked at Lu Wencai's thin back, and couldn't help shouting, "You don't want to go in to a tavern to ask for wine, what are you doing standing stupidly here?"

It seemed that he heard Lu Yifan's shout, only to see Lu Wencai slowly turn around, wave his hand at Lu Yifan and the others with a trace of confusion, and then said softly: "Yifan, look!"

Saying that, Lu Wencai turned sideways, and at the same time stretched out his hand and pointed in front of him, and less than five meters in front of Lu Wencai, a tattered young man was sitting on the ground with tears on his face, and the already shabby clothes on his body became more unbearable under the staining of the sludge, the young man looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, his body was very thin, and there were patches of bruises on a "dirty face" covered with tears and snot at the moment.

At this moment, the young man was sitting on the mountain road with a handful of snot and tears and whimpering in a low voice, and there were many "spectators" in the surrounding taverns who were laughing and pointing, laughing at the wonderful "performance" of this young man, as if they regarded this young man as the most interesting drunken conversation in the boring mountains at the moment!

"What's wrong with him?" Seeing this, Lu Yifan couldn't help but ask.

"Look at it like this, eighty percent of them have not entered the WTO deeply, and they have been bullied!" Ji Yuan looked directly at the young man with complicated eyes, and he seemed to see his own shadow from the young man's body.

"Being bullied?" Lu Yifan was still puzzled, "How can you be bullied here?"

When Ji Yuan heard Lu Yifan's words, he didn't explain directly, but smiled faintly, then reached out and grabbed Lu Yifan's arm, and said softly: "Let's come in first, you may know what's going on later!"

In this way, Lu Yifan, who was full of doubts, was dragged into the tavern by Ji Yuan, and Lu Jun and Lu Wencai also hurriedly raised their heels, and they didn't pay much attention to the young man sitting on the muddy mountain road in front of the tavern, like other people passing by.

"Man, serve us a pot of tea!" Lu Yifan and the others had just found a table to sit down, and Lu Wencai couldn't wait to greet him.

"If you want to drink good tea in this place, you have to pay a good price!" a slightly shrill voice suddenly sounded from inside the tavern, and it sounded a little funny.

"Nonsense! Your tea money is indispensable!" Lu Jun snorted coldly, and then took out dozens of taels of silver shells from his sleeve and threw them on the table casually.

"Okay! a few masters, good tea will come up!" With a happy greeting, I saw a guy quickly pick up a teapot from the counter, and then strode to the table of Lu Yifan and a few people, he first waved his hand to pocket all the dozen taels of silver shells on the table, and then spread out the wine bowl on the table, and then the man raised the teapot high, and in an instant, a column of water poured down from the spout, and fell impartially into the bowl in front of Lu Yifan!

The pot is a teapot, and the water is also hot water, but the only difference from good tea is that it is actually a bowl of "clear tea!"

Clear as transparent, clear as clear as white water!

"What are you doing here?" Lu Yifan frowned and asked suspiciously, "What we want is tea, why are you pouring us water?"

"Oh, I said this young man is really good at laughing! Why should I pour you water for the tea you want?" The guy squeezed his disgusting mouse eyes as he spoke, and his expression revealed an indescribable treachery, and the man put away the teapot and turned to leave!

"Wait a minute, why did you only pour one bowl, the three of us?" Lu Wencai was already thirsty at the moment, and called anxiously.

"Hehe......" The guy turned around again, looked at Lu Wencai with a smile with his small eyes that flashed with fine light, and said gracefully, "This master, you only paid for one bowl of tea just now, of course I only poured one bowl! If you want it again, then you have to pay for the next bowl of tea first!"

"What?" the man's words made Lu Wencai's eyes glare, "I gave you a dozen taels of silver shellfish just now, and when you arrive, you will only be given a bowl of white water?"

Lu Wencai had an impulsive temperament, and this exclamation instantly attracted the attention of the other drinkers in the tavern, and the tavern, which was originally noisy, became a little quieter in an instant.

"This little brother, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!" the guy sneered and said, "It's the good tea you want, I said a long time ago that good tea should have a good price, it's all a deal that you want me to do, no one has forced anyone, how can you say that I'm a black shop? If you want to blame yourself, you pretend to be an uncle, and you want good tea without asking the price, how can you blame me?"

"You ......" was pestered by such nonsense as a guy, Lu Wencai only felt that he had a sense of powerlessness when he met a soldier and couldn't explain it.

"Forget it, we don't want your good tea, return the silver shell to us!" Lu Yifan has never met such a person since he was a child, and he was also angry at the moment, and his voice became a little low.

"Hey...... This tea has already entered your bowl, how can there be any reason to return it?" the man sneered and said, "Have you ever heard of the truth that you swallow the rice and then spit it out? Even if you can spit it out, is it still the rice that is spit out?"

"Haha......"

was sarcastic by this guy's words, and the surrounding drinkers did not share the same enemy, but actually burst into laughter, which made Lu Yifan, who had just entered the world, feel hot on his face!

"Smack!"

Suddenly, a crisp sound suddenly broke everyone's laughter, and I saw Lu Jun, who had a cold face, "Hula" standing up all of a sudden, and two ice-like cold lights shot straight at this treacherous guy.

"You bastard, you dare to mess around here in broad daylight, see if I don't demolish your tavern!" Lu Jun shouted coldly.

"Okay!" Hearing Lu Jun's intimidation, the guy didn't laugh angrily, and the treacherous face contained in his smile made people feel sick, "I've been open here for more than ten years, and you dare to say that you are still the first one to smash the shop, and if you have the ability, you will smash my shop today, I will see if you four little cubs can get out of here alive today! ******, dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, and don't ask who this place is, I think you are impatient!"

When the man's words just fell, he heard a sudden noise outside the store, and then saw a dozen big men rushing towards the tavern, and looking at their faces at the moment, it was clear that they were about to fight!

"You ......" Lu Yifan had never seen such a scoundrel, and when he saw these big men pouring out of other stores, he suddenly understood in his heart, it turned out that eighty percent of the people who opened shops on this mountain road were in a gang, "You bastards ......"

"Hmph! I don't know what's wrong today? I actually ran into so many ignorant little cubs! I just taught a white tea drinker, and now there are four more people who find fault!" The guy ignored Lu Yifan's scolding, but instead his mouth turned upward, and his eyes glanced at the crying young man outside the tavern, intentionally or unintentionally, the meaning of which was self-evident!

Hearing the man's words, a terrifying light suddenly flashed in Lu Yifan's eyes, and then a red flame in his right hand quietly rose up!

"Smack!"

Just when Lu Yifan was about to make a move, Ji Yuan, who had never spoken, suddenly reached out and grabbed Lu Yifan's arm, and when Lu Yifan turned his head with a puzzled face, he saw Ji Yuan at this moment with a strange smile on his face.

"Now you understand what I just said, what I just mean by being bullied before I joined the WTO?"

"It's not just bullying, it's just bullying too much!" Lu Yifan said coldly.

"That's right, it's just too much of a deception!" Ji Yuan smiled lightly, "But this is the reality!"

Ji Yuan said that he also patted Lu Yifan's arm lightly to soothe, and then his face gradually turned cold, but he was one step ahead of Lu Yifan and Lu Jun!

"Reality is to bully the weak and fear the hard! So he is ruthless, you have to be more ruthless than him in order to survive in reality! Yifan, you have not been deeply minded and simple-minded when you enter the world, so today I came to the Holy Soul Academy for the first lesson, I will teach you! In other people's territory, even if you are strong, you will inevitably suffer, and the best way to protect yourself is to ......"

Before Ji Yuan's words fell, he saw that his five fingers, which were as sharp as wolf claws, had already poked out like lightning, and in an instant, they were firmly clasped on the Adam's apple of the guy who had never thought of dodging at all.

"Move again, die!"
