Chapter 424: Fire is obtained, Shang Yang comes to visit
During this period of time, Lin Shan finally made up for the lack of systematic knowledge.
His way of studying is a little different from ordinary students.
First of all, there is no need to take directional courses such as magic and magic, because he has his own direction. Even if he is piecing it all together and his grades are there, he does not need to follow the lineage of others.
After all, no matter how generous Yunchuan Academy is, it is impossible to teach them the golden elixir period skills and minor magical powers. Most of them are still basic things.
I don’t have the inclination to learn the Six Arts of Cultivation for the time being.
Apart from a slight understanding of formation restrictions, everyone else is a layman, so they might as well focus on improving their strength.
There is an enhanced panel, and the deputy position can only be said to be the icing on the cake, not a necessity. If you have enough time in the future, you can consider it when your realm is higher and your lifespan is longer.
From a high position, one can learn much faster than when one is at a low level.
Sometimes, if you catch up, you may surpass your predecessors in a short period of time. Realm is the king of everything.
And what happened next was as expected.
In just one and a half years, he traveled up and down the Sutra Pavilion, eager to explore the common sense and secrets of the world of cultivation, and he had no idea how much stuff was poured into his mind.
In the Golden Core Stage, one will naturally not look at many things as superficially as before.
The spiritual consciousness of the soul elixir stage is also enough to carry and understand and digest the essence of it.
What may take ordinary disciples decades to slowly learn, in the eyes of Master Jindan, one and a half years is enough.
During this period, he often went to listen to lectures by other real people.
For example, mental method is a compulsory course in most sects, and it is also his shortcoming.
The most popular ones are "The Art of Shenhe Guidance", "The Heart Method of Sweeping Dust", "The Heart Method of Linghe Flying into the Clouds", "Zhongfu Yangzhi Mind Method" and so on.
Although you can learn more about this stuff, you can't bite off more than you can chew, and these gentlemen only talked about the foundation building stage and didn't go into depth.
Those who are not direct descendants of the academy cannot be awarded anything too advanced.
After most students complete their studies, they will still graduate and go down the mountain to work in the world of cultivation. The academy has no obligation to be responsible for your lifelong education.
Lin Shan probably learned a lot, and compared it horizontally, he found that his progress in mental methods was very slow. It should be because he was young, ambitious, and had too many desires.
There is nothing we can do about this.
Those old men are old and have long lost their ambitions. It is reasonable that their Qi cultivation skills are deeper than those of young people.
I have struggled all the way up as a casual cultivator, and I am used to being wild. It is impossible to say that I can calm down when I calm down, and that I can live with the world without desires and thoughts. That is nonsense.
A teacher told him that if your mental skills cannot keep up with your cultivation, it will be okay in the early stages, but in the later stages, you are likely to make big mistakes, and the probability of going crazy will be greatly increased, so you must guard against it.
Lin Shan agreed on the surface, but was not frightened by him in his heart.
It’s not like I have never been in a major sect of the Demonic Way, and I have never seen the Black Lotus Sect supervise its envoys to learn mental techniques.
Logically speaking, shouldn't people in the devil's path need mental skills more?
I’ve never seen people go crazy easily!
The old man also recommended to Lin Shan that if you can't improve your mental skills quickly in a short period of time, you might as well take a different approach and try his unique mental skills, which are guaranteed to be effective very quickly.
Suppress the root of troubles and cultivate the natural god!
When Lin Shan heard this, could his mental method be realized quickly? He quickly leaned over and asked for advice.
Unexpectedly, the old gentleman took out a book called "The Mind of Carnage and Forgetfulness"!
When he attacked the Dai family, his subordinate Wu Hanqiao snatched a copy of this thing, and it is still in the Xun Gu Sect!
"Ahem, no need, I'm not interested in this for the time being."
Lin Shan declined politely. The old man sighed and shook his head, took the book and went to look for someone else.
In addition to mental methods, there are also some elective courses, such as the secrets of the human body, flesh and blood, essence, xuanguan acupoints, principles of the five elements, astrology and astronomy, water potential and geography, Zhouyi divination, and innate calculation
All these messy things that are taught to the students in the academy must be superficial parts. The real hidden knowledge cannot be made public. They are the unique skills of every Jindan master.
Lin Shan didn't force it. Anyway, his main purpose was to just listen and understand, and he didn't intend to study it in detail.
Just enrich your experience.
After he had learned enough to keep up with the average level of knowledge of Master Jin Dan in the world of cultivation, there was a response from the academy's senior officials.
"Master Lin has been waiting for a long time. Do you think you are getting used to living here after one and a half years here?"
On the way to the palace again, Master Zhou chatted with him about recent times.
"It's okay, it's okay, I've gained a lot."
Lin Shan thanked him sincerely. He used to be a reckless man at best, but now he finally looks like he has a professional background.
"It's good to have something to gain."
Zhenren Zhou nodded and told him to make a meeting in advance.
"The needed fire has been refined by the three professors and will be delivered as soon as they enter."
"However, in the past few days, the forces at the same level in the northwest have brought people to visit, and there are also distinguished guests discussing in the palace. I can introduce you to them when the time comes."
"This visitor is also a very important person. We at the academy attach great importance to him, so remember not to be rude."
Lin Shan nodded. No wonder the atmosphere in Yunchuan Academy has felt a bit tense recently. It turns out that there are guests.
He casually took out his 'guest order' and gave it back to Zhenren Zhou.
After the fire was refined, it was time for him to leave. There was not much he could see in the library, so it was inconvenient to hold the token in his hand all the time.
"Master Zhou, I wonder what kind of force this person is coming from?"
"Shangyang Academy."
Master Zhou glanced at him with a vague worry, but he had reminded him before and didn't say more.
Lin Shan's heart sank.
The two Jingxuan elders he had just killed came from Shangyang Academy and were once teachers there.
Although he later left the academy and became a casual cultivator, who knows how many connections and connections he had in it back then?
Generally speaking, it is best not to meet if you can avoid it. If you do, it will only lead to embarrassment and too much uncertainty.
But now, the professor of Yunchuan Academy did not give him the fire through Zhenren Zhou. Instead, he deliberately gave the three parties a chance to meet in the main hall, which made him confused about the mystery.
Logically speaking, those old men should not be unaware of the embarrassment between themselves and Shang Yang Academy.
In the main hall, three professors from Yunchuan Academy were sitting at the front, chatting with an old man with gray hair next to them.
This old man's clothes were simple and clean, especially the gold lacquer pattern on his cuffs, which showed his extraordinary nobility. His aura steadily suppressed the entire audience, and only three professors could compare with him.
At his starting point, several foreign Jindan masters also came to visit and chatted with the gentlemen of Yunchuan Academy.
"Brother Shang, the students that your Shangyang Academy brought here for exchange this time are much better than in previous years. It seems that there are a lot of talents in the northwest in recent years."
"Wherever, Yunchuan Academy has a rich foundation and is located in a treasure land like Yunqiya. Whether it is for gathering Qi or enlightening, it is far better than other places."
"Are you planning to take people to the central part of Lu State to participate in the academy competition this year?"
"Forget it, White Deer Academy and Jingyang Academy are closed. What's the point of competing with our other eight schools?" At this point, there was a rare silence in the hall.
Not for anything else, because now the top ten academies in Lu State are said to be the top ten, but in fact there are only nine major academies left.
It turns out that there is also Zhenzhi Academy, which is also one of the top ten academies. Its power and ranking are not low among them.
However, there was a rare genius among them.
Ma Wentong.
Invented the 'Hyacinth' magic weapon that can transmit information thousands of miles across the air. This is a unique treasure that can change the pattern of a country's cultivation world!
It immediately aroused the covetousness and prying eyes of the country and surrounding countries.
That night, groups of men and horses entered at night, and an old monster named Nascent Soul Stage covered his face and started fighting. The mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, and the rivers steamed and the land sank.
Zhenzhi Academy, one of the top ten academies, was ruthlessly razed to the ground.
It disappeared into the long river of history and became a record on the page.
This war not only shocked both inside and outside the country, but also inadvertently changed part of the structure of the Lu State.
You know, among the top ten academies, except for Bailu Academy and Jingyang Academy, which are located in the middle of the most fertile Lu State, the other eight academies are located in the eight regions.
For example, Yunchuan Academy is the leading neutral force in the western part of Lu State.
Shangyang Academy is a local leader in northwest Shandong.
Zhenzhi Academy is a local force in southwestern Shandong. Once it collapses, the consequences will be that southwestern Shandong has become a mess in the past ten years.
Especially in the Mekong Delta, the fighting is fierce.
There is no other reason. In addition to the top ten academies in the State of Lu, there are countless small and medium-sized academies, which are equivalent to pheasant academies.
Now that there is a vacant position in southwestern Lu, all the academies want to occupy it, and the financial backers behind it will do their best to support it for the sake of future interests, and they will act upon the news.
Southwestern Shandong was caught in internal strife, while the seven academies in other places were in a state of despair.
Although they appear to be big forces on the surface, if they really encounter such a crazy opportunity, in the eyes of many top forces, they will destroy them at will without any mercy.
But now that the ancestors of the major Nascent Souls are out, no one is walking around in White Deer Academy and Jingyang Academy, and the academy competition in the central part of the Lu Kingdom is not as lively as before.
In the past, the two major academies were competing to compete, but now that there is no leader in charge, the other seven academies are less passionate than before.
However, I have recently heard that many pheasant academies travel all the way to the central part of Lu in order to gain a reputation, hoping to make a splash in the academy competition.
The main purpose is to build momentum, echoing the distant southwestern side of Shandong Province to prepare for the rise.
"Well, let's leave it to the academies below to compete for this year's competition. We won't go."
Yunchuan Academy is a long-established force in Western Lu. Even if they don't go, it won't affect its status in the Lu country. It would be a waste to leave opportunities and reputation to the people below.
"What they fight for desperately is still unknown after all. Without the recognition of the top forces, everything is in vain."
The old man from Shangyang Academy also sighed twice, having already seen through the outcome.
Just as they were sighing, two people walked in outside.
A young man and a middle-aged man came to the other side and sat down on the ground.
"Master Lin is here."
Master Gu among the three elders nodded, and first handed over a brocade box beside him. It seemed that he had put it there for a long time.
Lin Shan quickly took it with both hands and opened it to see three dark brown seeds placed inside.
"This is the earth fire that we three old guys have condensed for you. Each fire can be used by you for about four hours continuously."
"Because it contains special sealing techniques, it has been delayed for about five to ten years to prevent the fire essence and spiritual energy inside from escaping."
"But this is just an optimistic estimate. Leader Lin had better use it as soon as possible, so as to avoid the fire's power declining when the time comes, leading to the failure to meet expectations."
Master Gu explained it to him, which was a kind reminder.
Lin Shan checked it with the enhanced panel and knew that what the other party said was true. He put away the brocade box and stood up to pay his respects.
"Thank you to the three professors for their hard work. I will not let my hard work go in vain. I will remember all the advice."
"Yeah."
Master Gu briefly talked about the business first, and then introduced the guests to him.
"This is the professor of Shangyang Academy, Master Shang Geng. Next is Mr. Xuegong who is also visiting and the financial backer. You can get to know him."
Lin Shan's heart was numb, and he forced himself to face the smiling face across from him and handed over his hand.
"This is the leader of the Xungu Sect, Lin. He is a young man with golden elixirs and a natural talent. He is the most outstanding figure in our Luxi!"
Master Gu also introduced Lin Shan to the other side.
What I didn't expect was that the people on the other side all looked strange, and instead of returning the gift, they got angry on the spot!
The old professor with white temples, that is, Shang Geng, had a sharp gaze that seemed to pierce him.
"Are you the leader of Xungu?"
"Did the two elders of Jingxuan die in your sneak attack?"
"You are so brave. You dare to kill even my master from Shangyang Academy. Sure enough, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!"
Lin Shankong saluted, but did not respond or say anything. He was even questioned and immediately became unhappy.
He put down his hand, retracted the fake smile on his face, his expression became calm, and his tone became deeper.
"It's Lin."
"The two elders of Jingxuan dared to go wild with our Lujiang Alliance, and they deserved to die at my hands. What, you want to stand up for him?"
"I heard that these two people have already quit Shangyang Academy. Is it possible that you still have old friends?"
Standing next to him, Master Zhou saw Lin Shan being so arrogant, saying a few words without thinking, and turning his face away when he disagreed. He quickly stretched out his hand and pulled his sleeve to signal him to calm down.
But Lin Shan was not afraid at all and faced tit-for-tat with the opponent.
Master Shang Geng sneered and responded graciously.
"That's right, Mr. Jingxuan and Mr. Jingxuan used to be my friends. I tried my best to keep them when I left!"
"As a former student of Shang Yang Academy, even if you leave temporarily, you will still be a member of our academy in the future. It will not be your turn to kill me in the next life!"
"You dare to kill Master Jin Dan of my Shangyang Academy, you are not so courageous!"
"Hahaha!"
Lin Shan laughed loudly. Since the other party was here to cause trouble, there was no need to be nice and just show off. Who is afraid of who?
"Not to mention that he has already withdrawn from Shangyang Academy, even if he has not withdrawn and dares to threaten and shake my Lujiang Alliance, he will be killed without fail!"
"If you are not convinced, just come over if you have any tricks, and I will follow them!"
