After Ye Chen left the pawn shop, he walked for a while along the streets of the southern city of the imperial capital, and finally walked out of the market and came to the back of a quiet garden.

Taking out the parchment map from his arms, Ye Chen compared it and looked at it, then put the map into the space ring, straightened his clothes, and then walked around to the front of the garden.

At this time, Xingying's voice came from deep inside her heart——

"Keep the ice eagle's spiritual core well. This is the energy and blood of the fourth-order flying spirit beast unique to the Beizhou Icefield. Not all fourth-order ice eagle spirit beasts have it."

"It's so expensive, don't I make a profit?" Ye Chen looked at the space ring and smiled.

"It's not a profit." Xingying replied lightly.

"But having said that, you obviously don't know the alchemist of the Demon Suppression Department, why did you agree to that Murong Xian?" When talking about the final conditions of the deal just now, Xingying's tone was slightly confused.

"You don't know this!" Ye Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said proudly: "As the saying goes, there is no businessman without treachery. Just now you said that I don't make money, now you say that I don't make money?"

Saying that, Ye Chen strode to the door of Yuanlin Mansion.

At this time, there are no more unnecessary sounds in the consciousness.

Ye Chen looked up and saw two guards standing in front of the gate of the mansion. They were staring at him, holding the handle of the knife with one hand and pressing the scabbard with the other, with tense expressions.

Here is the first academy of the Tianfeng Empire, Stargazing Academy.

The academy is located slightly north of the southern city of the imperial capital. It is built against Tianfeng Mountain. It is within the sphere of influence of the Ye clan of the imperial capital, but it belongs to the Xiao clan of the royal family.

The academy is divided into the inner courtyard, the middle courtyard and the outer courtyard. As the name suggests, the disciples in the inner courtyard have the best qualifications and have the best instructors, exercises and martial arts in the academy.

The Middle Court is second, and its disciples have better qualifications. Most of them are children of the royal family and nobles of the empire. They enjoy a certain quality of mentor resources, but their skills and martial arts are much inferior to those of the Inner Court.

The outer courtyard is completely a residential garden set up in recent years for the outside world to see.

Accommodate some grassroots young people from all over the empire who come to the capital from far away, give them the most common resources, and provide them with a place to live.

These contents were all discussed by Ye Bing on the road a few days ago.

Although I don’t know if it’s true or false.

But according to the location given by Ye Bing, the gate of the mansion where Ye Chen was standing was the outer courtyard of Stargazing Academy.

"Star Gazing Academy." Ye Chen read to the plaque on the mansion, glanced around a few times, and muttered: "It's exactly the same as what Sister Ye Bing said,"

At the gate of the mansion, the young man stayed a little too long. After a little confirmation, the two guards could not see that he was in any danger.

So they looked at each other and yelled at Ye Chen in unison: "Who are you? No nonsense is tolerated at the entrance of the academy. Leave quickly!"

"What nonsense?" Ye Chen recovered his thoughts. He looked at the two guards and said word by word: "I'm here to enroll in school!"

"Enrollment? Hahaha, what did you hear him say?"

"Aren't you just like pigs when you come to the outer courtyard? There are really fools who want to come to the outer courtyard..."

"its not right."

The two guards were laughing, and suddenly they seemed to think of something.

Looking at the expressionless Ye Chen, the guard on the left changed his expression and shouted to Ye Chen: "What kind of school do you want to enroll in? We recruit new students in July every year, and it's only April now. Are you here to cause trouble?"

While shouting, the guard had already drawn the saber from his waist.

The blade pointed at Ye Chen, and the guard shouted again: "Get out of here, otherwise my knife will..."

"How about the knife?"

Before he could say the harsh words, Ye Chen moved lightly, turned around, and was close to the guard in just a moment.

In an instant, Ye Chen raised his hand and grabbed the guard's knife-holding wrist.

A cracking sound of broken bones was heard at the door of the mansion, followed immediately by another ripple of Lingxuan aura exploding.

The guard flew out together with his knife and hit the wall next to the gate of the mansion.

The wall collapsed, and smoke and dust curled up.

Shaking his hands, Ye Chen's eyes immediately shifted to the other guard. He clicked his tongue twice and sighed: "I haven't touched my hands in a few days. I'm a bit rusty. Let's practice my skills today."

Before he finished speaking, another guard standing on the right shouted "Ghost", turned around and rushed into the gate of the outer courtyard.

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment and twitched the corner of his mouth, "I... look like a ghost?"

After that, he crossed the threshold of the outer courtyard and closed the door smoothly.

Taking a long breath, Ye Chen looked around.

Just like what Ye Bing described, the place has neat and lush flowers and plants, lush trees, rivers and streams, birds singing and the fragrance of flowers, and the environment is not bad. It is indeed a place specially established by Stargazing Academy to cover up the so-called aristocratic school nature.

"Xingying, do you think the Origin Spark hiding in the Star Observation Academy is in the outer courtyard?" Ye Chen paused for a moment, and after establishing a mental connection with the Seven-Star Divine Sword, he went straight to the topic.

This time, he came to Stargazing Academy before the start of the Ye Clan clan meeting, just to test and find the original spark in advance.

"I don't know yet." Xingying replied faintly: "But here, I can feel the subtle aura of the original star fire more clearly, as if..."

Xingying's tone was a little hesitant, but before she could continue, the conversation suddenly changed and she said, "Someone is coming."

After the sound, the sea of ​​consciousness instantly became extremely quiet.

Ye Chen gathered his thoughts, and suddenly a voice called "Brother Ye Chen" came from his side!

The young man was stunned for a moment and looked sideways, a look of joy appearing on his face.

The man carrying a giant sword stood in front of a book stand not far away, waving to him.

"Brother Gao! Why are you in the outer courtyard?" Ye Chen looked surprised.

Although Gao Chong left a message saying that he would be waiting for him at Stargazing Academy, Ye Chen did not expect to meet him in the outer courtyard of Stargazing Academy so soon.

"It's really your boy!"

Gao Chong walked down from the pavilion and quickly approached Ye Chen. After confirming Ye Chen's identity, his face also showed unspeakable joy.

Gao Chong patted Ye Chen on the shoulder out of habit, and laughed and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and your body has become much stronger. It seems to be the effect of the Qi Gathering Pill."

"Well, the second-grade high-level elixir is well-deserved!" Ye Chen coughed lightly and asked with a smile: "Brother Gao said he was waiting for me at Stargazing Academy. Why are you here? Where is that old man Ning Zhengshan?

?”

"Isn't this the Stargazing Academy?" Gao Chong scratched his head, pointed to a house next to the book stand behind him, and said: "That house is my residence. Commander Ning specially arranged it. By the way...his old man seems to be...

I was called away by the dean."

"Oh? Dean?" Ye Chen glanced at the house in front of the book pavilion, felt the environment, and after taking a deep breath, asked: "Speaking of this dean, do you know where the dean of Stargazing Academy is now?

?”

"The dean is mysterious, where am I..." Gao Chong smiled and was about to answer that he didn't know.

But as soon as the words came to my lips, they were not fully spoken yet.

Behind him, a voice suddenly interrupted him——

"Teacher, it's him, the boy in the white robe. He injured Liu Jian and wanted to chase me!"

His words were half truthful and half false, and his tone was particularly vicious.

When Ye Chen heard this, he turned around and saw the guard guarding the gate of the mansion pulling a woman who looked like the tutor of this academy.

The guard looked at Ye Chen with disdain and shouted: "Boy, you are just a bastard, you still want to go to school?"

"Teacher, catch this thief!"

After the guard finished speaking, the woman in gray robe narrowed her eyes slightly, and then shouted softly: "Anyone who offends Stargazing Academy will be punished by me!"

As the sound fell, the gray figure elongated in an instant, and appeared in front of the young man the next second.

Along with it, there was a thin sword that suddenly appeared.
Chapter completed!
