Chapter 11: First Ascent to Beixuan and Knocking Three Passes
Although the North Xuan Academy is the most famous and powerful force in Hexia City, even the city lord of Hexia City must be respectful to the Lord of the Academy, but the Beixuan Academy is not as luxurious as the City Lord's Mansion.
Green bricks and white tiles are piled on a spiritual mountain. In addition, the main tone is steady and calm black, which makes this vast building built on the mountain look low-profile. Except for a few important buildings, the rest
The place is full of low-rise houses and spiritual plants and trees. This is different from the immortal cultivating force that Ye Qianming imagined, but more like an academy.
But no one should be judged by appearance, let alone such a prestigious force, so Ye Qianming was not arrogant. He just came to the door in a low-key manner and blended into the crowd to observe.
As a selection meeting held every three years, the front door of the Academy was very lively today. Talented juniors from large and small families, as well as young and old casual cultivators who relied on their own abilities all participated.
And a richly dressed young master was being guarded by bodyguards and followers, sitting lazily on a chair. He didn't care about the disciples of the academy who were presiding over the meeting. Instead, he casually commented on the beauty of the female cultivators coming and going, without any respect or scruple.
A female cultivator wearing a black robe from the academy walked up to her and said quietly: "Is this fellow Taoist here to participate in the selection meeting?"
"Not bad." The man did not correct his posture at all, and the playful color in his eyes became more intense.
The female cultivator frowned slightly and said: "Since you are here to participate in the selection, no matter how big or small your family is, whether you are rich or poor, you must treat the academy with respect. With your cynical appearance, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to win the eyes of the teachers in the academy.
"
The man's smile became more and more joking: "In that case, please take care of me, senior sister. I can't repay you, so I can only pledge myself to you. How about that?"
After saying that, he stretched out his hands to hug the female cultivator's waist in front of everyone.
"You dare, you disciple!" The female cultivator was annoyed and cast a small spell to flick the man's hand away, but was shocked to find that it couldn't move at all.
"You, your cultivation level is higher than mine!"
The man chuckled, hugged the female cultivator forcefully, and smiled lewdly in her ear: "Of course, I am Liu Hui, the second son of the Liu family, so I am naturally better than an unknown cultivator like you!"
"If you obey me, you will become a member of the Liu family in the future. If you don't, don't blame me for being rude."
"My eldest brother Liu Feng is a genius in the main palace of the imperial capital. He has successfully established the foundation a long time ago. Even the master of Beixuanxue Palace must be courteous, but don't think that he will protect you!"
"You..." After hearing this, the female cultivator instinctively wanted to break free, but when she thought that the opponent was the Liu family, who was as notorious as the Yu family, she had no courage to resist, and could only whimper in frustration.
"Is it the Liu family who is as good as the Yu family? This female cultivator is in big trouble..."
"Yes, I heard that the Liu family, father and son, all enjoy playing with women. They say they will be members of the Liu family in the future, but I don't know how many poor girls the Liu family has lost..."
"It's a pity that this beautiful female cultivator may not be able to escape from Liu Hui's clutches in the future..."
When Ye Qianming heard the comments from people around him, he couldn't help but frowned: "The second son of the Liu family dares to be so arrogant in front of Beixuan Academy. It seems that the status of the Academy is not that unshakable."
"But looking at Liu Hui's cultivation, he is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining."
Then with a thought in his mind, a spiritual jade quietly flew out of his sleeve, and then, driven by Ye Qianming as if moved by his heart, it quietly flew towards Liu Hui, and when the latter laughed and teased the female cultivator, he stuffed it directly into Liu Hui's sleeve.
In his throat.
"Ugh!" Liu Hui only felt that a foreign object was stuck in his throat. After several attempts to no avail, he left the female cultivator in a panic and started picking at it quickly. He even called the guards and attendants to help, and the female cultivator
Xiu Ze took the opportunity to hurriedly disappear in the crowd.
But Ye Qianming used magic-driven spiritual jade, how could he easily take it out with just strength?
Therefore, all the monks looked at the ugly Liu Hui with schadenfreude, and secretly laughed in retribution.
However, immediately, a middle-aged man in a cloak appeared behind Liu Hui and flicked him, and the jade popped out without Ye Qianming's control, and contact was lost.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qianming quickly withdrew the spiritual power of his manipulation, and the next moment the middle-aged man's spiritual scanning followed him, trying to find the person who had just done it.
"Sure enough, these children of big families will definitely be protected secretly by experts when they go out."
Ye Qianming was glad that he was more or less cautious and did not take direct action when facing the Yu family and the Liu family, but he was still not sure whether the middle-aged man would trace his rescue action just now.
But before the middle-aged man's consciousness could sweep across the entire scene, another powerful stream of consciousness rushed over and pushed the former's consciousness back.
"As expected." Ye Qianming looked back and saw that the Yu family brothers and sisters had arrived. Yu Jin still looked friendly, and Yu Yao, who was wearing a veil, was walking fast, attracting the attention of countless male monks, including those who had just returned.
Liu Hui is scolding his mother and looking for someone.
The conflicting spiritual consciousness just now should be the work of Uncle Xu who is hiding in the dark. It seems that Uncle Xu is better in terms of spiritual consciousness between the two in the foundation building stage.
"The Liu family is really majestic. It is indeed the style of the Liu family to scan juniors like my brother and sister."
Yujin laughed loudly, and Liu Hui also said angrily: "Yujin, I knew it was you!"
Yu Jin looked puzzled: "What did I do? I and my sister are in awe of the school, took a shower and changed clothes, and chose a good time to come here. What happened to you? How can you slander my innocence out of thin air?"
"Slander?" Liu Hui pointed to the ground, "Who else besides your Yu family knows the Huaguang technique of manipulating jade? Do you dare to say that you didn't do it?"
Yujin's expression remained unchanged: "Jade, what jade? There is nothing on the ground?"
Liu Hui and the foundation-building middle-aged man looked at the ground at the same time, and were surprised to find that the jade stone that had been spat out on the ground had disappeared. The middle-aged man seemed to have thought of something, but he was dumb and could only whisper a few words to Liu Hui.
The reporter cursed unhappily, but could only sit back dejectedly.
Everyone was very happy to see that the Liu family had surrendered. After a few words of ridicule in secret, they discussed the topic of the conference again.
The Yu family brothers and sisters also came to Ye Qianming.
"Ye Dao's friendly talent, the Huaguang technique reached such a level in just three days, it really puts me to shame."
Yu Jin sincerely praised that after Ye Qianming became a bodyguard, he relaxed his attitude a little. He also practiced Huaguang Technique and knew that it was Ye Qianming who had done it just now, so he stepped in to help rescue the enemy.
However, it was precisely because of learning Huaguang Technique that I realized that it was commendable that Ye Qianming could skillfully control a jade in only three days.
However, he didn't know that Ye Qianming could already use the spiritual power attribution characteristics of the spiritual power bank to skillfully control twelve spiritual jades. If he knew, he might be suffering from inner demons.
Ye Qianming didn't do such a thing, he just said modestly: "It's just a fluke. Fellow Taoist, I'm grateful."
He knew and admired Yu Jin's understanding and immediately understood the situation, and the missing spiritual jade was probably taken away by Uncle Xu in secret.
"My brother praises you, just accept it, why bother to show off?" Yuyao on the side is still the same temper, but it can be seen that she is working hard to change her attitude.
Yu Jin sighed with a wry smile, but Ye Qianming didn't care and said with a smile: "Yes, thank you Miss Yu for your teaching."
"You!..." Yuyao could tell that Ye Qianming was teasing her, but after all, she was the one who spoke first, so she could only stomp her feet and sulk aside.
At this time, Yu Jin whispered: "I wonder if the original price of the Spiritual Release Pill that Fellow Daoist Ye mentioned before can be..."
Ye Qianming smiled: "If it is for your own use, just buy it from me at the original price, but I have an agreement with Banyue Pavilion, and selling in bulk is really a bit..."
When Yujin heard the name of Banyue Pavilion, she also had a result in her heart, but she said calmly: "It doesn't matter, my fellow Taoist has acted like a gentleman this time. It's not too late for me to admire him. If there is a need for spiritual release pills, I will tell fellow Taoist Ye."
"
After the two chatted and laughed for a while, the surroundings became quiet. They looked at the gate of the academy. There stood an old Taoist with white eyebrows in black robes. He was calm and powerful, and he was also a monk in the foundation building stage.
The Taoist priest said loudly: "My name is Li Xuanye. I am the deputy palace master of Beixuan Academy and the master of the alchemy hall. I will preside over your selection meeting today."
"This selection is divided into three parts, the spiritual root test, the competition test, and the new herb exploration. You have to go to the periphery of the Cold Stone Mountains to find the prescribed herbal medicine to complete the test. Do you understand?"
"Cold Stone Mountains? Why is there this assessment? Isn't this asking us to die?"
"Never before, maybe it's a new addition, damn, my cousin in the academy didn't tell me!"
"Fortunately, I used to be an Orion, so it's not too difficult for me..."
For people in Bishan Kingdom, especially those near Hexia City, the Cold Stone Mountains have always been a place of fear for mortals and monks. Over the past thousands of years, countless people have accidentally died at the hands of the monsters in the mountains.
And in the Cold Stone Valley in the center of the mountain range, even the monks in the foundation-building stage find it troublesome and dangerous.
Although Yu Jin also knew the name of the Cold Stone Mountain Range, he also knew that the academy would not let them die in vain. He could handle them according to his own cultivation, but he just wanted Yu Yao to be careful.
He turned around and said to his sister: "If you get to the third test, you can follow Daoyou Ye. He has a high level of cultivation and is strong in fighting, so it will be safer."
Although Yuyao was full of reluctance, the important matter of selection was not the time to lose her temper, so she still nodded, and then stared at Ye Qianming with a pair of watery eyes resentfully.
Ye Qianming naturally didn't care about Yuyao's distaste. For him, going to the Cold Stone Mountains was like going back home. The third test was the easiest for him.
Seeing the various expressions of the people below, Li Xuanye was not in the mood to comfort him. He just said coldly: "The three assessments will be scored separately, and the final ranking will be based on performance. The top ten people will each have a reward, and the first place will get a spirit."
You have to work harder when you have the opportunity to practice in Chi!"
"Lingchi training, what is that?"
Yu Jin on the side explained: "It is a method to improve the qualifications of monks. It is usually a spiritual pool formed around a spiritual tree. People who practice for the first time can eliminate impurities and wash away all the lead, just like in the legend.
The Marrow Cleansing Pill is just like that."
Ye Qianming grasped the word "spiritual tree" keenly: "Do you know, fellow Jade Taoist, what the spiritual tree next to the spiritual pond here is?"
"I remember it was a five-hundred-year-old silver pine. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, just curious." Ye Qianming said this, but he was secretly glad.
"No matter what, Yin Songhui at least has a goal."
Ye Qianming thought so, and at this time, the monks also followed Li Xuanye's guidance and walked towards the main hall where spiritual roots were tested. The Yu family and the Liu family walked into the gate of the academy at the same time, and Ye Qianming, who was sandwiched in the middle, was polite to Liu Hui who looked unhappy.
With a smile, the latter made a "tsk" sound, but they were still at peace with each other and walked in together.
