“I can’t remember clearly…”
Seeing that the other party was just surprised and didn't seem to want to punish him, Jiang Lu guessed that it wasn't serious, so he simply admitted that he didn't remember.
He scratched his head and spoke, "I have a bad memory since I was a child. Every time I wake up, I will forget important things. I didn't sleep all night yesterday because I was thinking about not forgetting Master's words. As a result, I couldn't help but fall asleep today. Senior Sister, I'm sorry..."
He made a green tea look, and the pretty girl couldn't stand it, so she chose to forgive him on the spot.
"I see... That's really hard for you..."
The pretty girl rubbed Jiang Lu's head lovingly: "Speaking of which, you have been very unfamiliar with me since the beginning. You have not even forgotten who your senior sister is, right?"
"Uh..." Jiang Lu gave a naive smile.
"Then I'll tell you again, don't forget it again."
The pretty girl cleared her throat and said seriously:
"Senior sister, my name is Zhou Luwei. We made a lifelong commitment yesterday. After you complete the foundation building, we will cultivate the golden elixir together."
Jiang Lu was silent for a moment: "Who are you fooling?"
“Damn it, I don’t even remember this…” Zhou Luwei punched the desk with her little fist.
With such a beating, the bookcase made a sound, and other people who were dissatisfied because the two of them had been whispering turned their heads and frowned.
"Can you please lower your voice?"
"My train of thought has been disrupted by you!"
"Today is the deadline, could you please stop disturbing everyone here?!"
Zhou Luwei's face changed: "Ah, sorry, sorry, you guys are busy."
After appeasing everyone, Zhou Luwei pulled Jiang Lu up and said, "Let's go out and talk."
Jiang Lu nodded, hesitated, then took his textbook, and then left the other courtyard with Zhou Luwei.
The two of them walked on the mountain path, and Jiang Lu looked around curiously at everything in sight.
Everything here is very different from the Xianmen in Jiang Lu's impression.
The mountain gate stands tall and towering, like a pillar reaching the sky.
There are waterfalls and springs, flowers in bloom, green mountains and green waters, full of vitality. Everywhere you can see immortal disciples sitting in meditation and feeling the aura of heaven and earth.
There are mountain peaks filled with crimson clouds and fires in the furnaces.
There are fairy beasts bathing in the divine light, leisurely and contented.
There were also a lot of people in the castles in the air, and unexplainable sounds were heard from time to time.
The more Jiang Lu looked at it, the more something seemed wrong.
How can this not look like a reputable family...
Whose immortal beasts are goats and dolphins, and whose training venue looks like a silver party?
Don't let the Bailiu Sect come here, right?
Just when Jiang Lu was doubting, Zhou Luwei's voice gave him the answer.
"In our Bailiu Sect, all kinds of people can enter the Tao, and there are no fixed rules of practice. For example, in our Shise Academy, we use texts to convey the Tao. Through words that can arouse people's desires, we steal the will of the readers and feed back to the creators. .”
Zhou Luwei said proudly:
"Don't look at me like this. In fact, I am already the best in the Tanmei School in the academy. Even the senior sister who is known as the master of hundreds of schools is still far behind me in this way.
Junior brother, you have extraordinary abilities, that’s why Master asked you to follow Aunt Wen. The book in your hand is Master’s proud work when he was young and used it to prove the golden elixir. You should understand it well. "
Jiang Lu was stunned for a while.
What a great article!
The cultivators who co-authored the academy are just a bunch of writers who went to work, right?
Oh no, you can’t call them immortal cultivators. This is simply an evil cultivator!
"So..." Jiang Lu said with a complicated expression: "Are those senior brothers and sisters just now cultivating by reading these articles?"
"Yes."
Zhou Luwei nodded:
"There are very few monks who can have Wen Gu, so there are very few disciples in our academy. Unlike other sects, which are divided into many different training areas, we practice everything from Qi training to foundation building in the courtyard.
Only those who have reached the golden elixir can enter the pavilion to practice.
This has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that we all eat and live together and are very united. The disadvantage is that..."
Speaking of this, Zhou Luwei spread her hands helplessly:
"You have also seen that for me, the fifth senior sister who is at the peak of foundation building, they have no respect for me at all."
"Then the deadline they mentioned is..."
"This is the rule set by Master."
Zhou Luwei explained:
"Just not being able to write is a waste of effort, so Master asked us to submit a copy of the manuscript every seven days, and the senior sister and fourth senior brother will judge the quality.
Those who pass indicate that they have understood all the techniques of the article they read and can start studying the next book. If they fail, they will be punished. "
"Being punished means..." Jiang Lu asked.
"Just read the articles written by Senior Sister and Second Senior Brother, but you can only read them. You can't do anything else. You should read them for three hours before going to bed every day for a week, and abstain from sex for a week until the next review."
Zhou Luwei smiled happily:
"The person who screamed the loudest just now has obviously reached the ninth level of Qi training and is about to build a foundation. He can start writing and publishing his own articles, but he is stuck at the last level for three months.
Tsk tsk, it’s just that you can’t make any progress in your cultivation, but you have to watch your second senior brother’s stepmother Wen Shun every day, you’re going crazy.
Today is another deadline, but judging from his condition, I guess he still won't be able to do it. "
“It really opened my eyes…”
This was the first time Jiang Lu encountered something like this that even he couldn't complain about.
"it's okay."
Zhou Luwei saw the complicated look on Jiang Lu's face and thought he was afraid of being punished, so she comforted him:
"You just joined the academy from the outer door yesterday. It won't be so harsh. The assessment will officially start next week."
As he spoke, he also pointed out a clear path for Jiang Lu:
"As for Aunt Wen... it's very difficult. I remember that apart from Master, only Senior Sister has touched some thresholds. But even this little threshold is enough for Senior Sister to produce an immortal golden elixir.
If you don't understand anything, just ask the senior sister, she will definitely be able to point you out. "
"Um..."
Jiang Lu couldn't say much, so he could only nod in agreement.
After understanding the academy's cultivation methods, Jiang Lu asked about the cultivation methods of other schools.
As a result, even Jiang Lu, a pervert, felt perverted after hearing this.
Just a few examples.
There is a lineage of body training that relies on non-stop training every day except eating and sleeping. The huge castle in the sky is the holy land for their kind of physical training. Their symbol is that regardless of men and women, their physical strength is terrifying.
There are also those who rely on practicing in dreams and sleeping 24 hours a day in addition to eating. They often rely on the writing and original and text-modified paintings provided by Shise Academy and the Academy's sister unit "Huanzhen Painting Academy". Try to exercise your soul in a dream in a way that traditional methods of body training cannot.
There is also a line of alchemy that relies on refining elixirs such as Liuwei Emperor Pills with various tonics and elixirs. Their practice has even been implemented in food. Epimedium is used as rice and ten whips of wine are used as water. It is a routine operation. If you pull the seedlings to help them grow, you will eat them to death if you can't eat them.
There are also evil cultivators who think that the weird cyber sect, through human body modification, lengthening..., plumping..., and achieving perpetual motion through... is exaggerated.
Naturally, there are also those in the beast-controlling lineage like Jiang Lu who even think are perverted. From the beasts they control, such as goats and dolphins, Jiang Lu doesn't even want to understand how they practice.
However, as the saying goes, in the end, all roads lead to the same destination.
The ultimate goal of everyone in Bailiu Sect is to survive the catastrophe and enter the underworld.
The god they believe in is called Baiyi Laomu.
According to legend, she has mastered all the means in the world that can arouse desire. She is a powerful deity in the underworld with a transcendent status. Once the road in the world comes to an end, she may be favored by Baiyi Old Mother and extradited to the underworld.
"Mother of Hundred Arts..."
Jiang Lu was thoughtful.
He had no impression of this so-called god, but if nothing unexpected happened, the god who existed in this world map should be her, right?
Suddenly, Zhou Luwei took Jiang Lu and sat in a pavilion by the roadside, planning to read here.
"Aren't you going back?" Jiang Lu asked.
"You can't talk even when you go back. We'll read here while we read. If there's anything you don't understand, you can just ask me. Wouldn't it be better?"
"Don't you want to take an assessment?"
"No need."
Zhou Luwei said with a smile:
“The foundation building assessment only happens once a month, not today.
And after building a foundation, you no longer have to consider whether it can be published, but you need to consider how to make it more popular after publication. "
After saying that, she naturally took off her short boots, sat on the wooden chair, turned her back to Jiang Lu, leaned on his shoulder, and opened the book to herself.
"I understand, the difference between signing a contract and putting it on the shelves, right?"
Jiang Lu naturally turned his head to speak to Zhou Luwei, and then instinctively looked down from above.
Different from Zhou Luwei's innocent impression, her figure is quite contrasting.
Facing Jiang Lu, she was defenseless. It was obvious that she had a great affection for Jiang Lu. It seemed that no matter what Jiang Lu did now, she would not resist.
But it was a pity that Jiang Lu couldn't arouse any interest when he thought that she was a writer of Danmei.
So he also took out the textbook he brought and read it carefully.
Although he was not interested in the academy's cultivation methods, he was very interested in Liu Bei's level in this world.
He didn't notice that Zhou Luwei, who had been staring at the few lines of words in the book over and over again, turned to read the book when he saw him, a trace of disappointment flashed across her face covered by her long hair.
