In the northwest of Yangcheng, more than 100 miles away in a hollow valley in the Yuhu Mountain, there are guards with swords and swords everywhere, and the empty valley is a mess, many trees are toppling, emitting black smoke, as if they have been burned, the ground is even darker, and gravel is everywhere.

There is a Dharma altar in the middle of the valley, at this time there is a person standing on the altar, a yellow robe is torn one by one, his hair is also scorched, he looks very miserable, but at this time he is extremely excited, his arms are slightly open, his body trembles slightly, staring at the sky, roaring upward, his voice is clear, permeated with a joy and pride.

On the uphill from a short distance, two figures floated over and landed beside the altar, an old man and a middle-aged guard.

"Congratulations to Daoist Yun for stepping into the Returning Yuan Realm!" the old man spoke first, and the middle-aged guard also said on one knee: "Congratulations to Your Majesty."

The man on the altar bowed his hand to the old man, and smiled happily: "It's just a return to the Yuan realm, but it all depends on the help of Brother Mu Dao, Li can break through so smoothly, thank you, thank you!"

This person is none other than Emperor Li Yunxuan, who is fifty-eight years old.

The old man's surname is Mu, his name is Zi'an, and he is the dean of the Yuyu National Highway Academy, and the middle-aged guard is Lin Ruhu, the former commander of the palace.

Mu Zi'an smiled: "Where, where, it's all because of the deep savings of Yun Daoyou, and it comes naturally, I'm just helping the corners." ”

Li Yunxuan's face was straight, and he said solemnly: "Otherwise, it is Brother Dao who is too modest, without Brother Dao's full help and arranging the magic circle, if Li Mou uses the power of a puppet, it may be difficult to shake the sky, and it is really difficult to pass this catastrophe, this thank you is really sincere, and this situation should be remembered." ”

Mu Zi'an suddenly sneered: "You used to laugh at me for fiddling with the formation as a small gossip, this time you know the benefits, right? As for the you remember, you don't have to say anything, I remember all the accounts myself, especially the death of my apprentice, you can't get out of the relationship no matter what, if you weren't optimistic about you, I wouldn't have to spend all this effort to help you." ”

Li Yunxuan's face turned red: "It's my short-sightedness, cough cough... Since... Ah, Brother Dao, please follow me into the palace, Li will treat him with good wine today, so that Brother Dao can drink enough. ”

Mu Zi'an waved his hand: "Forget it, tomorrow is the day of the first batch of disciples to enter the Academy, I still have to arrange things, I don't have time to drink with you, but you can send the wine to me, I'll go back, you also need to retreat for a few more days to consolidate your cultivation, let's leave it at that." ”

"That's, of course...."Li Yunwei was most afraid that Mu Zi'an was talking about his apprentice in front of him, and when he saw that the other party was leaving, he couldn't wait for him, and before he said half of the words, Mu Zi'an had disappeared without a trace.

"Haha, I'm really afraid of him, and I really want to ask this old guy for advice. As he spoke, he turned around and took a new set of clothes handed over by Lin Ruhu, changed the clothes on his body that were broken into strips, and suddenly slapped his forehead with the palm of his hand, and suddenly said: "Ah! Tomorrow is the day of Na Ling, a disciple of the Martial Arts Academy!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Lin Ruhu handed over the wooden comb that combed his hair to Li Yunwei and replied.

Li Yunwei said while combing his unkempt hair: "Then you let those guards go back to the palace, and let's go to the Martial Arts Academy." ”

Lin Ruhu said yes, and then went to arrange.

Mu Zi'an returned to the Daoist Academy, and at this time, it was past noon, and he ran directly to the Lingwu Hall.

The Martial Arts Academy is divided into two halls and four pavilions, the two halls are the Lingshu Hall and the Lingwu Hall, and the four pavilions are the Dan Pavilion, the Array Pavilion, the Instrument Pavilion and the Library Pavilion.

Lingwu Hall is very wide, in addition to more than a dozen lecture halls, there is a big martial arts hall in the middle, at this time there are many students in the martial arts hall sitting in rows, the age is different, the older one is about seventeen or eighteen years old, the small one is about seven or eight years old, everyone in front of each person has a small tripod that can hold up so big with both hands, there is a lid on the tripod, the students are doing the action of spitting, when inhaling, the tripod cover is opened, there is a ball of gas floating out of it, sucked into the mouth by the apprentice, and then cover the tripod cover, close your eyes and exercise, stay for a while, spit out turbidity, and then open the tripod cover and inhale a breath of gas in the tripod again。

In the midst of them, there were several spirit martial artists walking interspersed, carefully watching the movements of these students, and giving pointers from time to time.

Seeing Mu Zi'an walk in, several people sitting on the training platform stood up and greeted him, one of them was a tall man, with a black beard on his face, and said with a little complaint on his face: "As soon as you were the dean, you went out for a few months, and I thought you wouldn't come back today?"

The one who spoke was Lei Chulie, the vice president of the Martial Arts Academy, who was also specifically responsible for the management of the Lingwu Hall, and was a martial idiot, although he was invited by Mu Zi'an, it was only in name, and many things were left to the superintendent of the academy, Ren Xiding, to manage. However, Mu Zi'an was very surprised and satisfied to see him helping the master preside over the situation here, so he smiled and said, "It's a little delayed, are things all arranged?"

Mu Zi'an and a few people sat back on the podium, and Lei Chulie said: "Ren Ding, you can find him for the rest of the matter, anyway, I'm just a scene, and the dean is back, so I have nothing to do." ”

Ren Xiding, who was on the side, smiled bitterly, this Vice Dean Lei is notoriously lazy, and even omitting a word when he calls his name, and he can only bear it as a junior.

"Dean Mu, according to the previous reservation, everything has been prepared, and all the students who participated in Naling this time have gathered here, a total of three hundred and twenty-four, here is the list, you need to take a look at it and make a final decision. Ruo Ren Xiding answered Mu Zi'an's question simply and concisely.

Compared with Lei Chulie's tall, strong and powerful image, Ren Xiding is diametrically opposed, he is short and fat, with a white face, big eyes, a round nose and a small mouth, a short hair, well-proportioned limbs, and clean clothes.

Lei Chulie is a cultivator in the early stage of the Guiyuan Realm, while Ren Xiding is a martial artist in the middle stage of Yanzhen.

In the Xuanling Continent, there is no difference between the realm of monks and spiritual warriors, the first realm is called the psychic realm, and then it is the realm of the secret realm, the realm of the Xuan, the true of the Yan, the return of the yuan, the general meaning, the transformation of the meaning, the ruyi, and the god of the gods, and the spirit warlock is divided into refining qi, the psychic, the psychics, the Huiquan, the Yuan, the true pill, and the gods.

This division of realms is also determined in accordance with the method used by the earliest devotionals to divide the realms.

At present, the highest cultivation in the Taoist Academy is this Dean Mu, who has cultivated in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty.

"Have the batch of those who were arranged in advance come back?" asked Mu Zi'an as he took the list.

Ren Xiding nodded and said, "I came back five days ago, and now I have arranged for them to be taught some exercises by Jing Zhenling Martial Master." ”

"What is the success rate?" Mu Zi'an shook the paper sheet in his hand and asked impatiently.

Ren Xiding shook the fat on his face and said with a smile: "Thirty of them went, and the number of successful spirit builders is sixteen." ”

"So many?" asked Mu Zi'an in surprise.

Ren Xiding stole a glance at Lei Chulie and said, "Yes, why don't you see how honest Vice Dean Lei is today!"

Before Mu Zi'an could speak, Li Yunwei walked in at this time.

Li Yunwei happened to arrive at the door when they were talking, and he also heard the question and answer between them, and as soon as he entered the door, he said excitedly: "What? Is this true?"

As soon as he saw Li Yunxuan come in, in addition to Mu Zi'an, Lei Chulie, Ren Xiding and several spirit martial artists all came over to give Li Yunxuan a martial arts salute.

Li Yunwei waved his hand to signal them to return to their respective places, sat on the chair that others pulled over him, looked at the full class of students, and asked in surprise, "What are they doing now?"

Mu Zi'an said with a straight face: "Of course, it is to practice the spirit technique. ”

Li Yunwei said disdainfully: "Do you still need to practice the spirit technique like this?

Mu Zi'an snorted: "Are you the dean or am I the dean here?"

Li Yunwei coughed twice and shifted to the topic he had just entered the door: "You said that sixteen of the thirty students who had been arranged before had successfully built their spirits, this wouldn't have been deliberately said to me to make fun of me, right?"

Mu Zi'an glanced at him, "Could it be that you still think that I can't deceive you in this way in order to ask you for resources?"

"Really?" Li Yunwei glanced back and forth, left and right, trying to find out if there were any of the sixteen spirit martial artists they said were here.

Ren Xiding said to a spirit martial artist behind him, "Yu Chengxi, you go and ask Jing Zhen to bring those sixteen spirit martial disciples over." ”

In the Taoist Academy, those who have not succeeded in building spirits can only be called students, and only those who have succeeded in building spirits can be called disciples of the Taoist Academy, that is, a member of the Taoist Academy.

After a while, a spirit martial artist with a medium and high stature and a strong physique entered the martial arts hall with sixteen psychic realm martial artists.

made Li Yunwei, who was staring at the door, his eyes straighten.

You must know that if a martial artist wants to become a spiritual martial artist, two or three times out of ten will succeed, as far as he knows, it is very good, and this has to be said in the Taoist Academy.

"You didn't deliberately choose someone with a high chance of success, right?" He still didn't believe it, five out of ten and two or three out of ten, that would be twice the success rate!

"Then let's take a look, which of these students who don't have a spirit building has a higher success rate?" Mu Zi'an was speechless by his anger and accused.

Li Yunwei shook his head, "If I had this ability, my Yu Kingdom would have dominated one side long ago." And he asked, "How did you do that?" ”

Ren Xiding explained on the side: "This is all the idea of the dean, let them use the essence of the herbs and trees to practice the spiritual technique, and after a long time, they can improve the meridians in the human body, so that when they incorporate the spiritual essence in the demon core, they can greatly increase the probability of successful transformation." ”

"Oh!oh!" Li Yunxuan nodded while comprehending the truth of this, "Is that why other Taoist academies also use this method, and then Dean Mu will... Haha! It seems that Dean Mu is a blessing for the country to be the head of the Taoist Academy!"

Ren Xiding looked at him with random suspicions, and immediately explained: "Your Majesty, you are right in the second half of the sentence, Dean Mu is indeed the blessing of the Yu Kingdom as the head of the Daoist Academy of the Yu Country, but this method should not be used by any other Daoist Academy in the Xuanling Continent at present, and this is deduced by Dean Mu himself." ”

After hearing this, Li Yunxuan suddenly stood up, looked left and right, and saw that several other spirit martial artists also nodded, and Lei Wulie said even more frustratedly: "My old Lei is still in opposition to him because of this, and the bet will not work, and the bet will be lost." ”

Li Yunwei asked curiously, "What did Vice Dean Lei and Dean Mu bet on?"

Lei Wulie was ashamed and didn't answer, Ren Xiding gestured on his neck and said, "Vice Dean Lei said that if he loses, he will shave his beard in the future, and he will never grow a beard in the future." ”

After speaking, the spirit martial artists present, including Li Yunxuan, laughed out loud, you must know that Lei Wulie doesn't look black and thin, he cherishes his beard the most.

Li Yunwei straightened his face, turned around, and respectfully gave Mu Zi'an, who was sitting at the table holding the list, and then said: "Thank you Brother Mu Dao for doing your best for the Yu Country, and I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the hundreds of millions of people in the Yu Country." ”

Mu Zi'an waved his hand and said: "It's just mutual assistance and mutual benefit, in the future, you can do your best and I will do your best to achieve each other's goals." ”

After speaking, he shook the list in his hand, and he saw that there was a problem in the list, and asked Ren Xiding: "Explain to me, what's going on with this?"

Ren Xiding said embarrassedly: "There are two people missing, and the quota was cancelled by the new superintendent, and during this period, these two students were punished for their personal fights." ”

Mu Zi'an asked unhappily, "With whom?"

Ren Xiding first glanced at Li Yunxuan, and then pointed to a little fat man sitting in the second row among the students.

Li Yunwei looked over and didn't recognize who it was.

Mu Zi'an scolded angrily: "Li Chundao, you get out of the Taoist Academy for me." ”
