Chapter 33: The Four Academies
In the next few days, when Chen Lao returned, he gave the missing medicinal materials to the old smoker, which made the latter have to praise the Wen family's connections. Old Chen also happily watched the old smoker's alchemy play chess with the old smoker, and drank all night until dawn. As for Ye Xingchen, just let the two little girls take care of it.
And the relationship between Wen Ziwei and Ling'er has also undergone subtle changes.
Just now, Ling'er pulled Shopkeeper Wen aside, opened his eyes wide, and asked softly, "Fox spirit, don't you really want to seduce Naden disciple?" Seeing that a trace of purity flashed in the latter's eyes, but after shaking his head directly, he was relieved, and instantly changed his face and opened his mouth to close his mouth, Sister Wen, Sister Wen's also made Wen Ziwei cry and laugh. The reason why she shook her head Wen Ziwei knew it in her heart, although her expression had not changed much, she seemed to be struggling in her heart. However, she didn't want to pierce the thin layer of paper too quickly, maybe it would be more appropriate to say that she gave her heart.
Seeing Ling'er's cute appearance, Wen Ziwei felt a little better. The two took care of Ye Xingchen like this for seven days. In the past seven days, Niu Dalang came to look for him, and when he saw Ye Xingchen "paralyzed in bed", he also said a few words, it seems that he can only go by himself to ask Ye Xingchen to send a knife. In addition, the matter of recruiting disciples from the Fire Sect was also spread in various small villages. Ling'er's original attitude towards the Lihuo Sect was inexplicable worship, if she could, she would definitely go to the Lihuo Sect to learn the arts, and no longer fish and do housework every day, but Lihuo Sect and Ye Xingchen In addition to this matter, Ling'er is no longer so cold to the Lihuo Sect. And I heard Wen Ziwei say that the real first-class sects in Zhongzhou are not like this, just pull a few people on the street to be disciples, and second-rate sects such as the Fire Sect will go to various villages to set up venues to recruit disciples and even station in Qingtai Town. And if Ye Xingchen enters the Golden Pill Stage as soon as possible to solve the Golden Erysipelas, he can only enter the four major academies.
The talented and intelligent people have all entered the Dongzhou Daoist Academy.
There are four major compounds in the entire Chinese mainland. The Four Great Courtyards are like schools, looking for people who are truly suitable for cultivation from the countless crowds of people. They are located in the Northern Regions of the Northern Regions of the Rate, the Dongzhou Junction of the Southern Xinjiang Spiritual Academy, the Northern Regions and the Western Regions of Zhongzhou at the junction of the Western Regions of the Western Regions of the Northern Regions of the Central Prefecture of the Eastern Regions of the Northern Region of the Eastern Prefecture of the Eastern Regions of the Northern Region of the Eastern Regions of the Eastern Regions of the Northern Region of It is commonly known as the Four Great Courtyards.
What the Northern Regions led the academy to teach was the commander and the formation, mainly for the Northern Regions demon beasts. The Southern Xinjiang Spiritual Academy mainly attacks the rune path and refines the secret methods of cultivating such as puppets. The Western Regions Sports Institute is a college that mainly focuses on physical cultivation. Although the four academies are known as the four colleges and universities in China, they are actually just garrisons stationed on the table by the forces of all sides, guarding the east, west, north, south, and north passes.
The surface of the continent is calm, but in fact there are undercurrents.
For example, the overlord Daguang Palace, located in the Western Regions, is one of the transcendent forces. The Lunatic Cult located in southern Xinjiang is also a superpower. These two forces have been eyeing the mainland of Zhongzhou for a long time. Now if you don't do it, you naturally don't want to directly confront the Northern Regions Demon Beasts, and once you capture Zhongzhou, you will directly confront the Northern Regions Demon Beasts. Therefore, it is the best calculation to let the so-called righteous people on the bright side resist the demon beasts.
The enrollment qualifications of the Taoist Academy are very strict, and only those who are between the ages of 10 and 30 years old can be admitted to the hospital for study at the fifth level or above. A total of three years, after three years, if the top students of the four academies with excellent grades will compete for the top ten through the four academies illusion trial, and the top ten will have the right to choose to enter the first-class forces. There are already many first-class forces in the Chinese Empire, such as the Golden Immortal Sect, the Spirit Sword Sect, the Strange Sect, the Yuqing Palace, the Sheng Immortal Sect, and the Blood Sect and the Poison Sect that are not recognized by the world for their blood cultivation. Usually, the students who enter the illusion trial either die or are in the top ten, but the stakes are a little bigger, but fortunately, participation is completely voluntary.
Because of this, second-rate sects can't recruit outstanding disciples. That's why they stretch out their hands in all directions. They recruited disciples just for their reputation, otherwise why would Niu Dalang be expelled from the sect?
For these, Ling'er had never heard of them before, but now she yearns for these places. Shopkeeper Wen thought very clearly, her transaction with Ye Xingchen could only be gradually unfolded before the entrance examination of Dongzhou Dao Academy, if she really wanted to smash everything on Ye Xingchen, she would have to raise Ye Xingchen's physical cultivation realm to the third-level Great Perfection in the near future, and the second-grade Great Perfection of the alchemy realm, so that there was a fifty percent chance of success.
The top priority at the moment is to wait for Ye Xingchen to wake up and concentrate on cultivation and alchemy. Thinking that she was a dignified third lady of the Wen family and had to serve a teenager like a maid every day, the shopkeeper Wen always felt bad in his heart.
In this way, day after day, when the Fire Sect happened to come to Lishan Village to recruit disciples, the fingers of the young man on the bed trembled slightly.
The entire village of Lishan, and even the dozens of villages next door, large and small, are bustling with activity today, with people gathering in what was once an open space, but now it has been placed into a huge circular place. At this moment, everyone is cheering and cheering. It's as if you can become an immortal if you enter the Fire Separation Sect. 、
"Let one go, let one let go" The old smoker's impatient voice came from the crowd, and behind him were Chen Lao and Wen Shopkeeper. The three of them finally squeezed out of the crowd, and immediately looked at the central area of the venue, which was the core examiner for recruiting disciples. On that seat sat an old man who looked like a fairy wind bone. The old man's face was cold, this drudgery was a waste of time, and this year it was his turn to come to the barren land. There were a lot of strong waves of aura around his seat. It is the Jindan cultivation.
Sun Zhen, the fourth elder of the Fire Sect. The third elder Sun Xing's own brother.
Chen Lao recognized it at a glance, this person looked a little like Sun Xing. He patted the old smoker's shoulder and said softly, "Brother Qin, this person looks very similar to the person who wanted to kill Xingchen that day, I heard that the innkeeper said that Sun Xing has a brother named Sun Zhen." Jindan 1st floor. The old smoker in front of him frowned slightly, and suddenly turned back and asked, "These elders couldn't break through at the same time?" Last year, there was only one Jindan ninth layer and one Jindan third layer in the entire Lihuo Sect, and this year there were so many Jindan?"
Elder Chen was silent for a moment, thinking about it, "Maybe it's through some kind of secret method", he couldn't say for sure, but it was indeed a bit strange for so many Jindan elders to suddenly pop up from a second-rate sect. Maybe it's easy to cultivate the Dao Qi cultivation period, and it's easy to build the foundation period, but the Jindan is a realm that is not easy to reach. This is a watershed from the lower realm to the middle realm, the most rare level.
The old smoker's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly snorted coldly, "Okay, anyway, we are here to smash the field today" Behind him, Chen Lao smiled bitterly, "Brother Qin, you are still the same old naughty boy as always, very willful" The old smoker's willful back looked at Chen Lao a little distracted.
Back then, in the treasure house of Tianfu, it was also this not tall back that was so upright, not only gave himself a trace of insight, but also stood in front of him to protect the Dharma and block the enemy. It's just a one-sided friendship.
Many people in the field went to try the Heaven and Earth Gong and Drum, the magic weapon of the Fire Separation Sect. Hit the drum with your fist, and the drum face will show the innate aura value, up to 1,000. If you have more than 500 aura value, you can play the second level. The seven people of Dawa and Niu Dalang were queuing up in the crowd.
As time passed, the long queue of people soon took Niu Dalang's turn.
The crowd looked all kinds of wonderful, and their eyes were full of anticipation. Especially Niu Dalang, after being kicked out of the Strange Gate, he was originally full of despair, but at this time there was hope. But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
There was a muffled sound of "boom", and Niu Dalang punched the drum with all his might. After a slight fluctuation in the drum surface, a value of four hundred and fifty is displayed in the central area. But he didn't seem satisfied, and the look in his eyes darkened slightly, "Still can't you?" After a wry smile, he wanted to leave.
"Four hundred and fifty spiritual energy points," the young man in charge of reporting shouted. "Four hundred and fifty! What a high! There are so many people, and he is the most!" whispered voices from the crowd kept coming.
Sun Zhen, the chief examiner on the stage, finally raised his eyes lazily and glanced at the audience, and finally heard a person who could reach four hundred. The next moment, his deep voice was heard.
"Although the innate talent is not enough, you can become an immortal with hard work in the later stage"
A strong coercion spread like a sound wave, overwhelming all the people.
The old smoker Chen Lao couldn't help but secretly snort coldly, "carving insect skills", obviously it was not time to smash the field, and they had no reason to do it. The two of them are cultivators who think very highly of themselves, and they will not do it easily, if they move out of the enmity between Ye Xingchen and Sun Xing at this time, so many villagers may not be able to help them. This is the power of people's livelihood.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat.
Niu Dalang's eyes were happy, and he immediately bowed and respected, "Fourth Elder, do I still have a chance?" Sun Zhen nodded and pointed to a sword located on Niu Dalang's right side.
"Pick it up"
The blade of the sword was enveloped in clouds of turquoise aura. The air around the sword began to whisper, like a roaring beast.
Niu Dalang's eyes lit up again, and he stepped forward to the sword. When he took the last step, his legs began to tremble, and he couldn't take the next step.
The aura is overwhelming.
Hiss
He gritted his teeth, endured the pressure of the aura, and like a sharp blade, separated the slender wounds on his face one by one.
Ten seconds.
Twenty seconds.
Thirty seconds.
He confronted Green Sword silently for dozens of seconds. There was a lot of anger on his hideous face.
I can't even get close to the sword, how can I pick it up?
There was a long hissing ---, and the spirit sword seemed to be extremely unhappy. After shining slightly, the surrounding aura was actually out of fitness like a sword tearing the wind and stabbing at it.
In an instant, it ran through Niu Dalang's legs. At this moment, blood flowed out, and his body knelt directly on the ground, supporting the ground with both hands, not allowing himself to lie down. Niu Dalang's tiger mouth blood flowed out.
Everyone present, except for a few strong cultivators, gasped. Just as he was exclaiming, a familiar hearty laugh came from behind everyone,
"Haha, let me try"
