Chapter 37: The Occult Academy
With Xiao Xin's departure, the life and death of the Great Commander were unknown, which made Mu Tian's heart uneasy again.
He had been here for nearly ten years, and then a few years ago he had nothing in the Sword Sect, and then he encountered opportunities in his life, which allowed him to achieve today's achievements.
But his strength is still too low, that old Taoist aunt is too powerful, and she almost killed him with just one palm.
If it weren't for Xiao Xin's face, he might have died.
Mu Tian was unwilling in his heart, but he was too young and his strength was low.
But he knew that one day he would change it all back.
He had obtained a lot of medicinal materials in that swampy land, and as long as he was given time, he would one day become a high-level alchemist.
And he still has more than a hundred years in his hands from the Great Commander, and it is only a matter of time before he is promoted.
It's just that I don't want to enter the Jindan early for the time being, the foundation is not stable, and Mu Tian plans to swallow some pills for body training to advance.
After the time wheel was put away, he left the right place, and a few days later, Mu Tian entered a city.
It just so happens that there is an academy in this city that is recruiting disciples, and it seems that this academy is not small, and there are tens of thousands of people who have signed up in the square.
Mu Tian felt that it was not bad to join the academy, so he simply squeezed into the crowd.
There is a test bench in the middle of the square, and everyone who wants to join will put their hands on the stone platform, and the spirit root attribute will be automatically tested.
Mu Tian saw that there were many people who had tested in the past, and most of them were not good at spiritual roots, either too miscellaneous or too poor.
More than a hundred people, but more than a dozen people successfully passed the test, and this terrible elimination rate made Mu Tian himself unconfident.
However, considering that he is already in the late stage of foundation building at his age, he should not be far behind.
So after hesitating for a while, Mu Tian walked over.
"Put your hands on it. The old man who tested said without raising his eyelids.
Mu Tian nodded, stretched out his hand and put it on the stone, and then turned his true qi slightly.
In an instant, the stone was glowing, red, very dazzling, and in the end, the red light rose to the sky.
"Superb Fire Attribute!"
Several old men exclaimed at the same time, and the old man who tested stood up from the stool with a look of surprise.
It's just that they haven't been surprised for a while, and the next moment, after the red light, another color appeared, blue!
As this blue light appeared, several old men present were immediately dumbfounded, and the old man who tested it opened his mouth even wider.
"Two ...... Two superb attributes, this one is the thunder attribute!"
Everyone's faces turned red, and their breathing slowly became short.
But they were not happy for long, and several more colors appeared, and each color was extremely dazzling, and seven or eight colors blended together, and it was even more beautiful than a rainbow.
It's just that with so many colors appearing, those old men slowly changed from shock to shock, and then from shock to regret.
"It's a pity. The old man of the test sighed: "It's all a few bottles of attributes, but they are all wasted, it's a pity that it's a pity ......."
After speaking, the old man kept shaking his head and sighing, and sat down with a disappointed face.
Mu Tian withdrew his hand, he didn't expect that he would be the best in all attributes, so he must have the best qualifications.
"The seven attributes are all superb, I don't know whether to say that you are lucky, or whether to say that you were born at the wrong time. ”
The old man said to Mu Tian.
Mu Tian didn't understand what he was talking about, and asked, "Isn't my spiritual root bad?"
"Okay, each one is good, if they are separated, our academy will definitely do its best to cultivate you. After the old man finished speaking, he sighed again and continued: "It's just that your seven spiritual roots are gathered in you alone, and you are destined to become a great weapon. ”
Mu Tian frowned, he listened to what the other party meant, it seemed that his all-attribute best spiritual root didn't seem to be good, what kind of statement was this.
"The so-called prosperity must decline, all of you are the best spiritual roots, and after you cultivate to the peak of the golden pill, you will never be able to advance an inch. ”
"Forget it...... I'm telling you so much about what to do. ”
The old man shook his head and waved his hand at Mu Tian, signaling that he could go down.
Mu Tian was depressed, what is this, he is obviously all the best spiritual roots, why can't they all be together.
After stepping off the stage, Mu Tian found that the eyes of the people around him were a little different.
Mu Tian sighed in his heart, it seemed that his plan to join the academy had failed, and he originally thought that he could go in and reap some benefits.
"Little brother, wait a minute. ”
When Mu Tian was about to leave, an old voice stopped him, and when he looked back, an old woman on crutches walked over slowly, and there was a handsome girl beside her who was supporting her.
Mu Tian stopped and waited for the two of them to come over, this girl only had the strength to practice qi, but he couldn't see through the strength of this sick old woman.
"You call me. "Mu Tiandao.
The old woman looked him up and down, then showed a smiling face, and after coughing twice, she asked, "I see that you have good qualifications, are you interested in joining my Imperial Academy?"
"Imperial Academy?"
Mu Tian was stunned, he was rejected by the Wind Thunder Academy just now, and there was another academy for him to join this turn, and this kind of good thing was encountered by him.
He hadn't heard of the Imperial Academy, but if he heard the name so powerful, then this academy must be very powerful.
"Okay, I'll join. Mu Tian smiled.
"Ahem......"
"I am the Great Elder of the Academy, come to me if you have anything in the future, this is the token to enter the Academy. ”
The old woman threw him a token, then turned around and left, on crutches, and in the back was an old man in his last years, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like he was about to enter the cemetery.
Holding the token, Mu Tian touched it a few times, and casually threw it into the ring.
Two days later, Mu Tian found the Imperial Academy, which was a little different from what he had imagined.
He originally thought that the Imperial Academy should be very magnificent, and it would take hundreds of miles to occupy an area, but the scene in front of him was too far from what he imagined.
There is only a three-meter-wide gate, and more than a dozen towering trees are planted around it, and the leaves of the trees are withered and fall to a thick layer on the ground.
The plaques of Huangji Academy are old and yellow, and I am afraid that they will fall off when the wind blows.
Mu Tian rubbed his eyes, he really thought that he had come to the wrong place.
An old man sweeping the floor was in the courtyard, Mu Tian walked over and asked softly, "Uncle, is this the Imperial Academy?"
"yes. ”
The sweeping man put down the broom, looked up at Mu Tian, and sighed: "A lot of young people are not like this, at that time, the Huangji Academy was famous all over the world, but it was a pity that it was prosperous and declined, and slowly the academy was gone, leaving such an empty shell." ”
"Won't put. Mu Tian was stunned and said: "Since it's all empty shells, then why does she want me to come over, I don't read much, was I deceived by you?"
The old sweeper smiled and said nothing, he glanced into the distance, and Mu Tian subconsciously turned his head to look.
There was nothing there, and when Mu Tian turned around, he was immediately surprised, it turned out that the old sweeping man was actually gone.
"Such a mysterious place, even an old man sweeping the floor is so powerful. ”
Just when Mu Tian was secretly frightened, the coughing sound sounded from behind, which frightened him to turn around, and the old woman that day was actually standing behind him unconsciously.
"Seniors. Mu Tian hurriedly clenched his fists.
"Just call me the Great Elder, you can come here to prove that you have a heart, come with me. ”
"Ahem......"
The old woman coughed a few times with a sallow face, and walked slowly forward on crutches.
Mu Tian followed behind her, thinking to himself where he had a heart, if he had known that the Imperial Academy would be like this, he would not have come here at all.
After a while, Mu Tian followed the Great Elder to an attic, but he didn't expect that there were people about the same age as him in this attic, almost ten.
"Alright, now that everyone is here, then you can set out. ”
"Wait. Mu Tian hurriedly interrupted the other party's words and asked, "I haven't seen where I live yet, what are you asking me to do, Great Elder?"
"The once-in-a-decade secret realm has opened, and this time I selected the ten most talented people in the academy to go over, in order to capture more treasures. ”
Mu Tian was stunned for a moment, he found that there were exactly ten people plus himself, seven men and three women, and those nine people looked very unusual.
When the Great Elder went out, the invisible pressure seemed to disappear, and several people in the room chattered.
"Hello, you are the new guy that the Great Elder is looking for, my name is Cai Ying'er, what is your name?"
This talented Ying'er, who had long hair and braided hair, took the initiative to ask Mu Tiandao.
"My name is Mu Tian, Mu of Wood, Tian ......"
As soon as he was halfway through his words, Mu Tian's face changed slightly, because a sudden heat appeared in his body, which instantly made him react.
Jin Dan, who hadn't moved for a long time, actually jumped at this time, and the fiery breath rushed straight into his mind, and his breathing began to become rapid.
Sensing Mu Tian's abnormality, Cai Ying'er's face turned red, and after smiling awkwardly, she turned around and went back.
"Hmph!" a white-looking man snorted coldly at Mu Tian.
Mu Tian couldn't care much more, he hurriedly rushed out.
