Along the way, Lu Yang also understood the general situation of Minsheng Academy through Li Xiaopang's detailed explanation.
There are two major colleges here, one is the College of Liberal Arts and the other is the College of Martial Arts. The College of Liberal Arts is to the west of the academy, and the College of Martial Arts is to the east. The instructors and teachers, as well as the dean of the academy, all live on the north side near the back door.
There is a large courtyard, and everyone has a separate small courtyard.
To the east near the main entrance, there are rows of ordinary houses, where all the students live.
There are two dining halls in Minsheng Academy, one of which is for the instructor and is located in the north.
Another dining hall was built for students, only a hundred feet away from where everyone lives. All students in the academy go there to eat. Of course, if you have a lot of money and are very rich, you can also eat in restaurants and inns outside the academy. But
You can't come in and out every day. There is one day off every month. Only on that day can you come in and out of the academy freely.
The two major colleges are each divided into four small colleges, which are divided according to the different cultivation levels of the colleges. For example, in the martial arts academy, Huang-level students are in Huangwu Academy, Xuan-level students are in Xuanwu Academy, and Earth-level students are in Diwu Academy. Those with the highest cultivation level
Tian-level students are from the Tianwu Academy. However, there are very few students in the Tianwu Academy. Most of them left after breaking through to the heaven-level. After all, it is extremely difficult to break through the heaven-level cultivation. Even if you break through each level, it will take countless years.
This is still a martial artist with good qualifications. If his talent is average, he may not be able to break through in his lifetime.
That's right. Since you can't break through, you might as well become a general in the army. After all, heaven-level martial arts practitioners are rare masters in the empire. Many students left without breaking through to heaven-level, because in the academy
There is a rule that no matter how high your cultivation level is, you can only study in the academy for five years. If you have special performance, you can stay longer, but the maximum time is only ten years.
Five years is neither long nor short. It is extremely difficult to break through to the heaven level.
However, as long as your qualifications are pretty good and you work harder and practice harder, you will still have great opportunities.
The same is true for the School of Liberal Arts, which also consists of four small schools: Yellow Literature, Metaphysical Literature, Geography, and Astronomy.
It is said that students of Yellow Literature must be proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, and students of metaphysics must master astronomy and geography. As for geology and astronomy, not many people know. After all, there are only a handful of people who can learn this level. However, those who can
Anyone who leaves the Tian Academy can become an official in the empire, at least a third-grade civil servant.
As the two of them talked, they came to a huge courtyard. On the huge gate of the courtyard, there were four big characters carved on it - Huang Wuyuan.
Entering the courtyard, you can see a large flat land, which is like a small square. You can see spears, daggers, and wooden figures around it. Directly in front is a spacious martial arts training room.
There are neat rows of tables and chairs in the room, and there is a black stone on the wall at the entrance. With a special white pen, you can write on the stone wall, and you can also wipe it off with a cloth.
After more than 300 people entered Huang Academy, a middle-aged man walked in. The man was only in his thirties, and he had reached the heaven-level cultivation level. Most of these instructors did not want to enter the Imperial Army.
Everyone comes and stays here to teach students. This has advantages and disadvantages. You don’t have to worry about dying in battle, and you also won’t be able to gain merit or be awarded a title.
The middle-aged man was wearing a purple robe. The style of the robe was exactly the same as that worn by Fan Yuanpeng. It can be seen that all the teachers in the academy were dressed in this way. In a few steps, he came to the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, you are welcome.
When you come to Minsheng Academy, I will be your instructor for the next year. Let me introduce myself first, my name is Zhou Long, and you can call me instructor Zhou from now on."
"Hello, Coach Zhou." Everyone bowed and shouted in unison.
Zhou Long nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Some of you come from poor families, some from rich families, and even descendants of nobles. But the vast majority of you are children from poor families, and you have reached your current state through your own efforts. I
Let’s talk about the vilification first. No matter what your previous status was, you are my students now that you are here. If you do something wrong or fail to complete the tasks I assigned you, I will punish you severely and I will never be lenient."
Zhou Long's voice is not loud, but it exudes a huge momentum, making people feel that he will do what he says.
"Everyone, I know that most of you have not learned detailed martial arts knowledge. No matter how high your cultivation level is, you are not a qualified martial arts practitioner." Zhou Long paused and changed the subject,
"Now I ask you, do you want to learn martial arts knowledge and become a real martial arts practitioner?"
"think."
Everyone shouted loudly, and the sound was so loud that it could be heard clearly within a ten-mile radius.
It must be said that Zhou Long's words were very inflammatory, and everyone's blood was boiling after hearing it.
Zhou Long raised his right hand and made a downward movement, saying: "Very good, starting today, in the next month, I will tell you how to speed up your practice and how to maximize your potential.
Of course, after I finish explaining, I will ask each of you questions. If anyone can’t answer, I don’t need to tell you what the result will be!”
Zhou Long waved his hand and led everyone to the martial arts training room, indicating to everyone to find a place to do it.
Lu Yang and Li Xiaopang sat together, and the others also sat down one after another. The boy in white deliberately sat far away from Lu Yang.
After everyone sat down, Zhou Long stood in the open space at the entrance and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, you may have heard of immortal cultivators. I can tell you clearly that cultivating immortals is not a legendary existence, but there is such a thing.
A group of people. They are as mysterious as what is said in fairy novels, and are so powerful that they can destroy the world with a single move of their hands."
As soon as these words came out, most people's blood boiled with excitement and they listened carefully with their ears perked up.
Lu Yang heard his father talk about immortal cultivators. At that time, he thought it was just a legend. His father deliberately said such things to make him work hard to cultivate. But as he left the Lu family and came into contact with more and more people, he also believed that there were real people in this world.
There are cultivators of immortality. Hearing the words of Teacher Zhou today, he was even more determined. In this world, there are not only cultivators of immortality, but also powerful sects of cultivating immortals.
Zhou Long said these words to make everyone curious, to make them yearn for the world of immortal cultivation, and to practice harder, "Immortal cultivators can come through the sky and fly away on the wind. Not only are they powerful, but they also have a long lifespan. It is said that,
Even the most ordinary disciples in the leisure sect can live for more than five hundred years, and those who are powerful cultivators can even live for more than a thousand years."
"It took so long, God, how did they do it?"
"If only I could live this long, I would also work hard to practice and strive to become an immortal cultivator."
"Teacher Zhou, how can we become immortal cultivators?"
"Yes! We also want to become immortals, just tell us!"
"..."
Such voices were heard one after another, and everyone was excited. No wonder they were excited. After all, ordinary people can only live for about a hundred years at most, and that is still a person who is disease-free and dies without any disaster. If you are in poor health, you can live to fifty.
It's good to be over 100 years old. If you are a martial artist, you won't get sick at all because of your years of practice, and your lifespan will be at least a hundred years.
It is said that martial cultivators can live for hundreds of years each time they advance to a higher level. The lifespan of a heaven-level expert is almost five hundred years, but there is still a certain gap between them and immortal cultivators.
Zhou Long saw that what he just said had an effect and successfully made everyone yearn for the world of immortal cultivators. He continued: "What is the purpose of practicing physical skills? To enhance our physique. To put it simply, our body is like a gourd. The bigger the gourd, the bigger the gourd.
The more wine there is in it, the smaller the gourd is and the less wine there is.”
"We temper our bodies and bones, strengthen our cultivation, and increase the true power in our bodies in order to change our system." Zhou Long said in detail, "The energy in our bodies is called true power, and those who cultivate immortals are another person.
A kind of energy, if our body is not strong enough to contain that kind of power, how can we cultivate immortality?"
Everyone understood it, but they didn't know how to reach the standard of cultivating immortals. One of them asked: "Jiaotou Zhou, I heard that only by cultivating to the heaven level can you join the sect of cultivating immortals!"
"Yes, it's the Heavenly Level." Coach Zhou replied.
Everyone's expressions became ugly. Although there were many martial cultivators at the Heaven level, they were not everywhere. It would be good if one out of ten thousand martial cultivators could reach the Heaven level. In a moment, everyone discovered that they were longing for the immortal cultivator.
The world is so out of reach, even if you practice for a lifetime, you probably won't be able to reach that level.
Zhou Long did not say everything in detail. Not only Heaven-level warriors can do this, but only those who are in the late Heaven-level Great Perfection state are eligible to join the Immortal Cultivation Sect. And this qualification is also very strict. The first is the age requirement. In general,
The period is only for boys and girls under the age of twenty. If the talent is good, it can be extended to about thirty years old.
The second is talent. If a person's talent is extremely poor and is not suitable for cultivation, even if he meets the requirements, he will not be able to join the cultivation sect.
Zhou Long didn't say this because he didn't want everyone to feel too oppressed. He said seriously: "Everyone, although it seems difficult to achieve the heavenly level, everyone can do it as long as they work hard." He changed the subject and suddenly asked
Said: "I ask you, why don't you practice at home and why do you come here?"
"Because you can learn better exercises here and speed up your practice." Someone answered.
Zhou Long nodded and said: "Yes, there are more powerful cultivation methods in the academy that can speed up your cultivation and even allow you to advance to a higher level in a year. You are not very old. If you break through to the low-level peak within three years,
In the realm of Dzogchen, it takes two years to finally break through to the heavenly level, can't you still not be able to do it?"
When everyone thought about it, it seemed that it would not be difficult to break through to the heaven level, and they all said in unison: "Yes, we can definitely do it."
A look of relief flashed in Zhou Long's eyes. What he just said was not in vain. Just when he wanted to continue speaking, he was surprised to find that there was a young man in the crowd who was not as excited as the others, but just sat there calmly. That young man
His face was solemn and his eyes were deep, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
This young man is Lu Yang. The reason why he is like this is because he is thinking about how to reach the heaven level in the shortest time.
Zhou Long was secretly surprised that such a calm young man had an unlimited future. He said loudly: "Everyone, now I am going to explain the common sense of martial arts. You must take note of it carefully. A month later, I will practice physical skills with everyone. Within a year, I will help
You broke through the Huang level. I hope that in one year everyone can do it and become a Xuan level master."
