Chapter 75: Sneaking into Yaochi
Chapter 75: Sneaking into Yaochi
-------
"Invited to start school early? How can I get an invitation?"
Are there any students like this?
It sounds like he is more valued than people like me.
"People with Qigong level 7 can receive invitations. They go to Lingchi to practice in advance and can avoid the time. As for us, even if we get the opportunity, we still have to wait in line." Teng Yizhong replied.
Xu Zhuo sighed, "How can someone cultivate to the seventh level of Qigong so quickly?"
"There are always some people who are gifted and have families that provide them with enough resources. They start practicing from a young age, and it is not impossible for them to reach the seventh level of Qigong. There are a few such people every year. My eldest brother is one of them, and I am much worse than him."
Teng Yizhong mentioned his elder brother again.
The two walked out of the dark and dense jungle and suddenly slowed down their pace because a building appeared in front of them. It was a stone gate and a long stone staircase.
Looks like it's coming.
"We are lucky. People who start practicing in ordinary high schools basically have no chance of getting into the academy." Teng Yizhong said confidently, "This place is out of reach for them."
Xu Zhuo: “…”
I started practicing in high school.
But he is cheating, so there is no comparison.
The two of them covered a distance of several hundred meters in the blink of an eye and stepped onto the stone steps.
In this desolate mountain and wilderness, there are traces of human activity. There is a stone gate in front with the words "Heihe Zhenhai" inscribed on it. On both sides are carved the achievements of the King of Heihe in suppressing the invasion of sea beasts.
Under the stone gate, teacher Xia Yongxiao was waiting for them.
"Congratulations, you have successfully entered the gate of the academy." His smile this time was more genuine.
"I think you all know the reward the academy gives you. It is a chance to enter the spirit pool for training, which is enough to transform you. You will also have the opportunity to comprehend the Qigong of the founder of our Black Dragon River Academy, the Black River King. Remember to seize it."
"Thank you, teacher." Teng Yizhong said happily.
Obviously, this opportunity is also very precious to him.
"Teacher, when can we go to the spirit pond to practice?" Teng Yizhong asked.
"There are a lot of people queuing up recently, and you have to wait at least a week."
After Xia Yongxiao finished speaking, he walked around Xu Zhuo and asked in confusion, "Huh? Are you really at the fifth stage of Qigong? Why do you look more relaxed than him who is at the sixth stage of Qigong?"
Xu Zhuo said calmly, "Maybe it's because I'm good at running away."
This answer is a bit weird. You said you are good at body movements or footwork and qigong, but you said running...
Fine.
Xia Yongxiao smiled and said, "Are you good at running away? Very good. Running away when you can't win is definitely the first rule in the cultivation world. I feel more at ease that you can understand this principle at such a young age than those stubborn people who only know how to fight to the death. At least you won't die easily."
Practicing in an academy is not just about finding a place to stay. The resources available in those training grounds are rich, allowing practitioners to practice better, but there are also dangers, and the path of practice is by no means smooth.
"Let's go, I'll take you to complete the admission procedures first."
The three of them climbed up the long stone steps. At the end of the long stone steps was a flat area halfway up the mountain with several palace-like buildings.
The procedure is also simple, just scanning the fluctuation characteristics of their soul power.
Although Qigong may change in a short period of time due to absorbing something, soul power is difficult to change. This can be considered a relatively safe identity authentication measure.
Afterwards, they were assigned their own quarters: wooden houses behind the palace complex.
Fortunately, it is a single room and it comes with a yard.
It looks ordinary on the outside, but it has all kinds of equipment inside, electricity, and even internet.
Teng Yizhong chose to live next to Xu Zhuo, only about fifty or sixty meters away.
"You should adapt to the situation first. We will notify you when your Spirit Pool training round is up. Don't go out for training for the next few days, otherwise it will be difficult to contact you. You can choose the classes you like, but remember to complete the credits first."
After Teacher Xia Yongxiao finished speaking, he left very quickly.
Teng Yizhong also said: "Xu Zhuo, I'm going to look for my brother first. See you later."
Xu Zhuo stayed here alone. "The style here is very suitable for seclusion."
He used his eyes as a camera, took pictures and sent them to the group.
【Xu Zhuo: picture.jpg】
【Xu Zhuo: "We're at school now, let's take a look at the dormitories."】
[Xiao Yan: "It looks a bit like a cabin in the woods."]
【Xu Zhuo: "Yes, it is a wooden house. It looks quite primitive from the outside. There is electricity and internet inside."】
[Xiao Yan: "Damn, this is the secluded place of my dreams!"]
The forest cabin with electricity and internet is so cool.
【Luo Feng: picture.jpg】
Luo Feng also posted a photo, showing seven or eight bodies of some large cats lying on the ground, all with their ears cut off.
【Luo Feng: "I am participating in the warrior practical combat assessment."】
In the assessment town.
Luo Feng held a Blood Shadow Blade Series 2 in one hand. This 98kg blade was the heaviest blade the official could provide for the combat assessment of martial artists, but he felt it was light and fluttery, and wielding it was like wielding a stick, which was a bit awkward.
In front of him were seven or eight corpses of shadow cats, a primary beast soldier-level monster known for its agility.
Behind him, on an abandoned street, there were more than thirty monster corpses scattered around, all of which were killed by him.
Meow!
A strange cry like a child's cry sounded, and many shadow cats attracted by the bloody smell appeared from all directions. However, Luo Feng did not think that the large number of these beast-soldier-level monsters would pose a threat to him. Unless their number was boundless and drowned him, there would be little difference between dozens and hundreds of them.
He shook the knife casually, a few drops of cat blood spilled, and the blade made a low trembling sound.
This was like a signal, causing the shadow cats around to attack. They were very fast, and their sharp claws were aimed at Luo Feng.
But he didn't even need to look back to know which direction the monster was attacking. He lowered his knees to gather strength, then swung his sword like lightning. The blade flashed in the darkness and drew a gorgeous arc, separating several heads from their necks.
Facing the siege of dozens of shadow cats, Luo Feng walked steadily and swiftly, shuttling among the monsters. With the flash of his knife, he chopped off the monster heads one by one. He could even change the momentum of his knife, cutting off the monster's ears as the head flew out, and then picked it up with the tip of the knife and put it into his backpack.
He roamed the battlefield like strolling in a garden. Every step and every blow was under his precise calculation and control. There wouldn't be any mistake. It was like he was playing with these brainless monsters and taking their lives was just a piece of cake.
There is no doubt that his body movements and swordsmanship are at a subtle level.
Luo Feng used the Bodhi seeds yesterday, and his basic body movements and swordsmanship improved greatly. He even felt that he had reached the threshold of perfection.
Today, he fought monsters in the examination town. He intended to use the pressure from the monsters to comprehend perfect body and sword skills.
But these monsters were too weak and could not bring him any pressure. His subtle body movements made it easy for him to deal with them, so it was difficult for him to make any progress.
From one against five at the beginning, to one against ten, to one against dozens now, he was sure that these beast-level monsters posed no threat to him, so he couldn't take them seriously at all.
At least he needs to change to the beast general level before he will feel a little pressure.
[Xiao Yan: "Are you fighting? Is it really okay to fight and fight at the same time? Be careful not to fall over."]
【Luo Feng: "No problem, this level of assessment is no pressure for me."】
【Xu Zhuo: "Okay, you've fooled me."】
【Luo Feng: “No way.”】
【Luo Feng: "By the way, group leader, how are things going over there? How is the new school?"】
【Xu Zhuo: "I just arrived, so it's hard to comment yet."】
I just arrived and haven't gotten used to the local conditions yet.
[Xu Zhuo: "I'll tell you after I understand the situation. But there is good news. The school has given some freshmen a reward, which is the opportunity to practice in a spiritual pond. It is said that it can transform one's body and soul. There is also a chance to learn the Qigong of the founder of the school."]
[Xiao Yan: "The first one is okay, but I don't believe the second one has a chance. I have always had bad luck since I was a child and have never won a prize."]
【Xu Zhuo: "Why don't I think you have bad luck? Last time when you received the red envelopes for Baicao Liquid, you all received a lot, but I received the least. I only received 1000 bottles out of 13 bottles."】
[Xiao Yan: "Isn't that because you, the group leader, are just too unlucky?"]
[Fang Han: "Relatively speaking, you, the group leader, are unlucky. We are all at a normal level."]
Are you at a normal level?
I believe you!
You protagonists are all incredibly lucky. Not to mention that you can pick up treasures while walking, but it’s not much different. My luck is so badly beaten to the ground by you.
……
Ye Fan looked at everyone chatting in the group, adjusted himself mentally, comforted himself, and then crawled into the Yao Chi dog hole.
There was no way out. Since Yao Chi moved away, the old site was sealed off and the main entrance could not be found at all.
The last time Hei Huang brought him to find the "Western Emperor Sutra", they took this dog hole.
This time, Ye Fan can only drill once more.
Fortunately, no one saw it, otherwise a rumor would have spread in the spiritual world that a holy body had drilled through a dog hole.
One is born, the second is cooked.
Ye Fan entered the Yaochi through the dog hole, and soon came to the fairy pond and took a deep breath.
Jump!
He jumped into the water and immediately saw the female corpses he had seen last time. Each of them was covered with a layer of waxy substance. If it was broken, there were no bones inside, only a bag of corpse water. It was disgusting just to think about it.
Ye Fan's waves were like water, causing all the female corpses sinking below to float up, as if they were faking their death. This scene could be made into a horror movie.
Fortunately, Ye Fan had seen it once, so he could withstand it much better if it happened again.
He did not break the corpses, but stretched out his hand and a red envelope space was opened. The suction force sucked all the spring water and the female corpses in.
Tons tons tons tons tons...
Soon, the floating female corpses mixed with the spring water were collected by Ye Fan into a red envelope space, leaving only the empty spring pool.
He was not in a hurry to collect the water here. Although the water in this pond was full of essence and much better than ordinary water, it was not as good as the Fountain of Life.
Ye Fan dived down and after some searching he found several stone slabs, revealing a deep black hole that was big enough for a person to pass through. A richer essence emanated from it, and the water from below surged up with a hint of clear and sweetness. The effect was actually equivalent to a weakened version of the Fountain of Life.
This is a spring!
[Ye Fan: "I went to the old place of Yaochi and found a spring at the bottom of the pool. The water quality below seems to be better."]
[Xu Zhuo: "Yes, the real Yaochi Fairy Spring is below, and there are even large pieces of divine source in it."]
[Ye Fan: "Hey? There is still a divine source?"]
What an unexpected gain.
[Xu Zhuo: "Yes, there are saints and sages that Yao Chi once sealed up down there. They are the foundation of the sect. They were all sealed up with divine sources as big as coffins. Unfortunately, they were killed by the great saint bodies that transformed into corpses. But the good news is that the divine sources that sealed them up are still scattered there. You can pick them up if you think the situation is right."]
Ye Fan felt his scalp tingling after reading this message.
Is there the corpse of the Yao Chi sage down there?
Is there even a holy body that has transformed from a corpse?
hiss--
He suddenly felt a toothache and was a little reluctant to take advantage of this opportunity.
[Ye Fan: "Group leader, I won't ask about Yao Chi's corpse. Are you sure your Great Saint Body won't turn into a corpse again?"]
[Xu Zhuo: "Don't worry, the body of the Queen Mother of the West is watching over us. The Great Saint Body is her husband, and the Great Emperor Wu Shi has also been here. Naturally, he will not allow anyone to defile the bodies of his parents. It is safe for the time being."]
[Ye Fan: "Wait a minute, let me sort it out. Group leader, are you saying that these three are a family?"]
Is Emperor Wu Shi the son of Queen Mother of the West?
Doesn’t that mean that there are two emperors in the Yao Chi family?
[Xu Zhuo: "Dad is a holy body, and mom is a congenital Taoist fetus, so they have no beginning. Of course they are a family. Otherwise, how do you think his congenital holy body and Taoist fetus came from?"]
