The boat fell into the lake, causing ripples on the surface.
Zi Ji took out the oar from the side of the boat and started rowing towards the shore, while Ji Xiu sat cross-legged next to Yun Ze, focusing on his cultivation.
It has to be said that this outstanding talent is terrifying.
In just half a month, Ji Xiu had reached the fourth level of Qi refining.
Yunze, on the other hand, did almost nothing. He just gave him some pointers on the issues he didn't understand about the cultivation techniques, and then watched this kid make rapid progress.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the Qi Casting Pill anymore, otherwise he would have to arrange it for Ji Xiu.
Not to mention the Nine Realm Qi Sea, at least he must obtain the Eighth Realm Qi Sea to be worthy of his four-attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root!
"Master."
After the boat entered the lake, Ji Xiu broke away from his cultivation state.
He raised his eyes and looked at Yunze and asked: "Is this Tongtian Academy? Are we... on a sea?"
"This is not a sea, just a slightly larger lake." Yunze said with a smile.
If he had come here before seeing the sea, he would have had the same doubts as Ji Xiu.
He habitually raised his hand to rub Ji Xiu's head: "There are ten small islands in the middle of the lake. The outermost one is the Lingxiao Courtyard where your master lives. I will take you after completing the process later.
Go and pay homage to the master."
"Okay Master."
Ji Xiu forced a smile and responded.
This half month has passed, and Yunze has finally solved a lot of the knots in this kid's heart.
At least now I know how to laugh.
Even if you force yourself to smile, it's still much better than having a sad face before.
"Mr. Tu, we're here."
The boat quickly docked, and Ziji cupped his hands towards Yunze and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tu, for taking care of me all the way. Ziji is here to say goodbye to you. I also hope that Mr. Tu will take good care of his immortal body in the future. After Ziji breaks through the foundation,
Come visit sir again."
This is also a matter of time.
After all, Ziji was just an outer disciple. After temporarily participating in the Immortal Ascension Conference with Yunze, it was natural for him to focus on his cultivation next.
Only after he breaks through the foundation building can he be qualified to enter the lake and the island and become one of the ten monks.
"Um."
Yunze nodded, and casually took out a jade bottle from the Sumeru Ring: "You and I are destined to travel together, so I will use this as a parting gift. I wish you to build a foundation as soon as possible."
"This...thank you sir for this generous gift!"
Ziji took the jade vase, then walked to the lake alone, walking all the way towards the academy on the shore.
Yunze also brought Ji Xiu ashore.
He casually put the boat into the Sumeru Ring, then turned to look at Ji Xiu: "You will see new disciples recruited from other places later, and there will also be a small test to test your spiritual roots.
book record.
You don’t need to be nervous, it’s just a process.”
"Yes, Master."
"Oh yes, there is also this title."
As Yunze walked, he corrected him: "Although according to the rules, disciples are qualified to choose their own masters to practice with, and it is not impossible to follow one master at a time.
Now that you have not officially entered the profession, you should put away the title of master for now.
After you really get started, if you want to learn something from me, it won’t be too late to call me master.”
This is an opportunity given by Yunze to Ji Xiu.
After all, this kid has just come into contact with the world of cultivation. He doesn't know what a good master can bring to him. If he becomes his master in such a confused way, there is no guarantee that he will not regret it in the future.
To avoid trouble later, it is better to wait until this little guy really thinks it through.
I didn't tell him this before, mainly because I was afraid of disturbing his recently stable state of mind.
Now that he has almost adjusted his state of mind and is about to officially start the program, it’s time to talk to him about this matter.
"This..." Ji Xiu was still hesitant.
"If you don't want me to be scolded, then just listen to me."
"All right."
When Ji Xiu heard this, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
However, he looked at Yun Ze and said, "I know Master...Mr. Tu is doing it for my own good, but please rest assured, Mr. Tu, since I said I want to accept you as my teacher, I must accept you as my teacher!"
After saying that, Ji Xiu walked quickly forward.
Yunze couldn't help being stunned after hearing this, and finally had to smile helplessly.
He still has the nature of a child.
He was busy on his way and just sent back everything that happened at the Immortal Ascension Conference in a letter to the academy in advance, but the letter did not mention the qualifications for discipline cultivation.
In other words, Yunze and Ziji are the only two people in Tongtian Academy who know how terrifying this kid's qualifications are.
After all, you still need to check your qualifications before you can officially get started.
By then, the entire Tongtian Academy will inevitably be in turmoil.
I don’t know how many old monsters will come out of seclusion and come out to see this peerless genius.
After Ji Xiu saw those old monsters, his idea of becoming a disciple would naturally be shaken. By then, it would not be easy for him to become his disciple and learn the new way.
This is also strange.
The young senior sister paid so much attention to this boy that she even went after the Immortal Association outside the Chengtian Dynasty. Why didn't she show up even once after she left the dynasty?
Although she couldn't contact Ji Xiu in a formal capacity, it was good to come out and meet him to lay the foundation of their relationship.
When the time comes, it would be more advantageous to compete with those old monsters for the position of master, right?
But she doesn't even show her face, it's not her style!
Could it be that... there are other reasons that I don't know about?
The two of them walked all the way towards the academy on the southeast side of the lake.
As soon as Yunze opened the door, he saw a crowd of frowning faces.
There were nine people in total, ten including him.
These ten people are the foundation-building realm sent by the ten colleges of Tongtian Academy to recruit disciples. There is one person for each college, and the number of disciples to be recruited is determined based on the overall ranking of the academy.
The top-ranked Enlightenment Academy and Enlightenment Academy have recruited at least twenty disciples this time, accounting for most of the number of disciples in this class.
"finally come."
Seeing Yunze coming, a foundation builder from Wuleyuan smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist Tu, your cultivation level is really good. You can still travel so leisurely after such a big event. I don't know how long you have left me in your state of mind."
What a street!”
Yunze glanced at the other party and recalled the other party's information in his mind.
Wuleyuan, Luo Miaoyu.
Zhiren and Tu Sheng are first-time outer disciples, and both are good at playing the piano and harp, so logically speaking, they should have a good relationship.
Luo Miaoyu also pursued Tu Sheng and expressed her intention to become a Taoist companion with him to practice together, but Tu Sheng refused.
After that, Lingxiao Academy was just established, and both of them were outer disciples at first, and both had the opportunity to become the disciples of Yunxiao Academy.
Later, Yunxiao selected Tu Sheng among the many outer disciples to enter Lingxiao Academy and became an inner disciple through Qi refining. Luo Miaoyu and Tu Sheng no longer dealt with each other.
Later, Luo Miaoyu became Zhuji first and entered Wuyueyuan, but Yunze never saw her after becoming Tu Sheng.
This is the first time the two have met.
Yunze asked En and didn't say anything. He just glanced at the other person and then sat down in the corner minding his own business.
This is how Tu Sheng has always treated Luo Miaoyu.
It’s quite easy!
"Humph, I'm afraid I'm stupid at playing the piano, so I don't know how to answer when asked." Luo Miaoyu snorted coldly, his tone not concealing his disgust for Tu Sheng.
"Okay, if you have wise words, you should say less."
The people from the Enlightenment Academy said: "Since the last seat has arrived, let's start the initiation ceremony. After this is over, we still have important things to report back, so don't waste time.
Come on, which one of you will come forward first to see the spirit?"
Different from the spiritual balls used in the Immortal Ascension Conference, the spiritual balls officially introduced at Tongtian Academy are more accurate.
It's like Ji Xiu's heavenly spiritual root.
The Immortal Ascension Conference can only test whether it is a heaven-level person, but it cannot test whether it is a lower-level heaven-level person or a high-level heaven-level person.
One word difference can change a person's destiny.
"I come!"
There are always some standouts among this crowd.
As one after another boys and girls stepped forward to perform spiritual tests, reports came one after another.
"Li Yulan, a top-grade spiritual root of the three-attribute profound level!"
"Mi Xiao, the third-attribute earth-level low-grade spiritual root!"
Reports continued to sound, but Ji Xiu stood silently beside Yunze, waiting silently.
Soon he was the only one left who had not yet verified the spirit. The founder of the Enlightenment Academy glanced at him: "You are the only one left over there, why don't you come over quickly?"
"yes."
Ji Xiu responded respectfully, and then slowly stepped forward and came to the spiritual sphere.
What a coincidence, it is Luo Miaoyu who is in charge of the spiritual ball at the moment.
When she saw that Ji Xiu was brought by Tu Sheng, she then smiled and said, "How come such a young child was selected? Could it be that he couldn't find a suitable person, so he found a child to fill the gap?"
"
Yunze still didn't speak.
Ji Xiu, on the other hand, grinned, cupped his hands towards Luo Miaoyu and said, "Senior, please step back a little."
"Yo, what?"
Luo Miaoyu stared at Ji Xiu: "Are you afraid of knocking me down? Then I want to see what qualifications you have to dare to speak like this."
"Then please take a closer look, senior."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xiu injected a wisp of spiritual energy into the spiritual sphere.
moment!
The whole spiritual sphere is filled with colorful light!
Almost at the same time, a white-haired old man and a middle-aged man in purple suddenly appeared next to Ji Xiu.
When everyone saw the old man among them, they quickly stood up and held their hands.
"Dean!"
"Dean?"
When Ji Xiu heard this, he turned to look beside him and asked curiously: "Are you the dean of Tongtian Academy?"
"yes."
The white-haired old man smiled at Ji Xiu, with two wrinkles forming at the corners of his eyes: "Child, what's your name?"
"My name is Ji Xiu."
"Ji Xiu?"
The middle-aged man next to me heard this and said, "This name is not good, so I'd better change it."
When Ji Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
He turned to look at the middle-aged man and asked, "Who are you? Why do you say my name is not good?"
"I?"
The middle-aged man smiled, squatted down and looked at Ji Xiu at eye level: "My name is Dan Jingsheng, have you ever heard of my name?"
Dan Jingsheng!
When Yunze heard this name, his heart couldn't help but tremble!
