Breaking through the realm of returning to the mortal world is actually very simple to put it bluntly, it is to end the cause and effect of the past.
Repay kindness when there is kindness, revenge when there is hatred, and fulfill the promise when there is commitment.
Of course, it is not so absolute, and it also depends on the monk's understanding of "Tao".
But Yu Qiu followed the traditional method to break through, but suddenly found that there was no chance at all.
Not to mention whether what happened on Blue Star counted or not, there was nothing he could do if the old Taoist Gu Hongzi couldn't find him.
Qiyun College, which has grown in strength over the years, has already searched the entire Qianyuan Continent, but still has not found any information about the old Taoist priest.
It was as if there was no such person as Gu Hongzi in the world.
In this case, Yu Qiu could only wait in the mortal state honestly.
Fortunately, safety is guaranteed.
Even if he is a mortal now, no one dares to do anything to him.
"Dean! Dean!" The thoughts in Yu Qiu's mind drifted to nowhere, but he suddenly heard someone calling him, and then he came back to his senses.
Yu Qiu looked aside.
"Dean, the Enlightenment Branch in Dong Qingcheng starts school today. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"Go." Yu Qiu nodded.
He couldn't break through to the saint, and there was nothing to learn about the exercises. Yu Qiu was also very bored. Since there was an activity and it wasn't far away, let's go.
After the regular meeting, Yu Qiu followed Zong Zheng and flew to Dong Qingcheng.
Although taking a train is much more comfortable than taking a flying boat, most monks are still used to operating the flying boat themselves in order to be faster.
Zong Zheng originally didn't want to go. As the dean of the Enlightenment Branch, he managed dozens of Enlightenment Branches, large and small, throughout the northern border. He was very busy every day.
Who knew that Yu Qiu would suddenly become very interested today and wanted to go to Dongqing City, so naturally he would accompany him.
When the two came to Dongqing City, the Enlightenment Branch in the city, there was naturally another commotion.
Although Zongzheng is only in the Dan Returning Realm and has little hope of breaking through to the Soul-Splitting Realm, he manages so many "preparatory monks" and is naturally a famous person in the entire Qiyun College.
And Yu Qiu, that is a legend!
Yu Qiu had seen many scenes like this before, so he naturally didn't have stage fright and greeted everyone with a smile.
After a few words of encouragement at the opening ceremony, Yu Qiu returned to the lounge.
On the contrary, the dean of Dongqingcheng Enlightenment Branch came over and asked Yu Qiu: "Principal, do you want to go and see the children who are enrolling this year?"
Since you have come, you will naturally not put on any airs, so Yu Qiu followed everyone to the auditorium.
"There are more than 500 new students admitted this year, and Dong Qingcheng has more than 300 of its own." The dean explained softly to Yu Qiu from the side.
Although there are more than five hundred students, less than half may be enlightened in the end, and most of them can only stay in the condensation stage.
But even so, the demand for these students still exceeds supply.
Whether it is the factory of Qiyun Sect or the factory of Dinghai Pavilion, they are all eagerly waiting for these students who have left school.
As for the students who have successfully completed their enlightenment and joined Qiyun College, they are always guests wherever they go.
Yu Qiu's fantastic ideas have been passed on to these students through textbooks.
These people are valuable assets to all kinds of factories.
Yu Qiu nodded to the dean with satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work."
"If it weren't for Principal Yu, how could we have such good times?" the dean of Dongqing Branch said politely.
The arrival of Yu Qiu naturally made the students in the audience extremely excited.
Naturally, this includes Qu Gu.
The founder of the new era, the character written in textbooks, is now sitting in front of him alive, and there is no reason not to be excited.
The branch dean told the freshmen the rules of admission and encouraged them before continuing: "Everyone is dismissed. Those whose names I have read will stay."
The dean began to read the names, and all he remembered were the freshmen who had excelled in the entrance exam this year.
Qu Gu secretly muttered in the audience: "Keep twenty! Keep twenty!"
He ranked exactly twenty in this year's entrance exam!
"Qu Gu."
"Here!" Qu Gu stood up and responded loudly.
After reading Qu Gu's name, the branch dean said to the others: "Everyone else is dismissed!"
Sure enough, as Qu Gu expected, the twenty freshmen who stayed stood in front of Yu Qiu.
The branch dean smiled at Yu Qiu and said, "Principal Yu, this is the student who got the best test score this year."
Naturally, Yu Qiu stepped forward, spoke a few words each, and encouraged him a little more.
But when he walked in front of Qu Gu, he was shocked.
Yu Qiu took a deep breath and then smiled: "What's your name?"
"Principal! My name is Qu Gu!" Qu Gu replied loudly: "Bending Wan! Gu Zi's son!"
There was a burst of laughter all around.
Yu Qiu also laughed dumbly: "Don't be nervous, I won't eat you."
"Yes!" Qu Gu quickly raised his head.
"Are you from Dongqingcheng?"
"Yes, my grandfather was one of the first gunners to operate a cannon!" Qu Gu puffed up his chest.
"Oh?" Yu Qiu said with a smile: "He is still a veteran. What about your father?"
"My father is in Qiyun Pharmaceutical Refinery in Dongqing!" Qu Gu answered honestly: "He graduated from Qiyun College back then!"
Yu Qiu nodded, guessing that Qu Gu's father was a monk who couldn't break through the crystallization stage, so he was sent to various places to take charge of these factories.
After chatting for a few words, Qu Gu followed other student representatives and walked out the door.
Everyone was chattering, their words full of excitement.
Being able to meet Principal Yu and say a few words to him, this experience alone can make them become the focus of the Enlightenment Branch.
"Qu Gu." A man wearing a branch teacher's badge stopped everyone.
Qu Gu stopped, looked at the teacher, and asked: "Teacher, what do you want from me?"
The teacher waved to Qu Gu: "Follow me."
Although the others were a little strange, they didn't say anything.
The teacher led Qu Gu in a circuitous way until he came to a small building.
"Dean, Qu Gu is here." The teacher brought Qu Gu into the room.
Qu Gu saw Yu Qiu, Zong Zheng, and the dean of Dongqing Branch sitting inside drinking tea.
"Thank you for your hard work." The branch principal nodded to the teacher.
The teacher then turned and left.
Qu Gu didn't know what to do.
"Come." Yu Qiu put down the tea cup and waved to Qu Gu: "Sit down and talk."
Qu Gu sat down tremblingly, and Yu Qiu continued: "I have an idea. You can go home and discuss it with your parents."
Yu Qiu looked at Qu Gu, who looked nervous, and asked, "Are you willing to be my apprentice?"
Qu Gu opened his mouth and looked at Yu Qiu.
"Don't worry, you can go back and discuss it with your family." Yu Qiu added.
Qu Gu shook his head repeatedly: "No, no! I am willing!"
Are you kidding me? Four of the Five Saints of Qiyun are Principal Yu's apprentices, and even though one is not an apprentice, he taught him himself!
What’s there to worry about?
However, Yu Qiu did not agree immediately, but still said: "Let's discuss it with my family. If you agree, come to Qiyun College the day after tomorrow morning."
After Yu Qiu finished speaking, he didn't give Qu Gu a chance to continue speaking. He turned his head and looked at Zong Zheng: "Let's go?"
Zongzheng stood up and left with Yu Qiu.
Sitting on the flying boat, Yu Qiu saw Zong Zheng's expression of hesitation, smiled at him and said, "If you have anything you want to ask, just ask."
Zongzheng then spoke: "Sect Master, is there anything special about this Qu Valley? The next...sage?"
Yu Qiu chuckled and shook his head: "No, he looks a bit like an old friend."
Zongzheng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Yu Qiu also closed his eyes and meditated.
He also didn't expect that there would be such an incident during this trip to Dong Qingcheng.
Although he is still young, with Yu Qiu's eyesight, he can still tell at a glance that Qu Gu's appearance is exactly the same as that of Gu Hongzi!
