Time passed gradually.
The end of this month is here in a blink of an eye.
As the rumors said, the Ling family moved several spiritual veins in the simple residential area outside Bingxuefang City as scheduled, and there was even a second-level spiritual vein among them, and installed a powerful A quasi-third-order formation.
In addition, the competition for thousands of talents and the recruitment of disciples in Ling's Academy will also be held.
It is precisely because of this that even some monks who had obtained a place to live in Bingxuefang City through various means could not help but leave the city and rush to the residential area. There were even a large number of Loose cultivators come from outside.
Suddenly, it can be said that more than 100,000 monks gathered in the residential area.
If this residential area were not extremely large, it would not be able to accommodate such an area at all.
However, it is precisely because of the existence of this group of people that the competition for thousands of talents and the matter of the Ling Academy have been pushed to a climax.
It was not until a month later that these two things were gradually completed.
Among the thousands of talent competitions, there are fully a thousand talents who have relatively good subsequent qualifications, or have extremely high talents in combat, or are good at magic, etc. The talent was finally selected by the Ling family and directly incorporated into the Foreign Affairs Hall specially opened for casual cultivators and guest ministers.
As for the Ling Academy, it also recruited more than 500 young casual cultivators with different qualifications.
The casual cultivator Zhang Qing was among them, but he did not enter the academy through a competition.
Although his cultivation has already reached the third level of Qi training, and he is good at many spells and has an offensive weapon, his combat power is considered good among casual cultivators of the same age. Not long ago, his grandfather Zhang Hua also bought him a realm-breaking pill to help him enter the middle stage of Qi training.
But after all, there were many people participating in the academy test, so for this reason, they were removed.
But fortunately, Ling actually possesses a quasi-fourth-level spirit detection array that can detect other people's various qualifications in detail, and with the help of this array, he has investigated all the people who participated in the entry test.
Xiao Zhang Qing has a great opportunity and actually possesses a good aptitude for alchemy. According to the formation estimates, as long as he is properly trained, he is expected to become a first-level high-grade alchemist in the future.
These people also helped Ling a little, so he was recruited into the academy.
In addition, this is a double happiness for the old Zhang family.
This day.
The day of entry into Ling’s Academy.
A large number of casual cultivators gathered outside the academy.
Most of them are theatergoers, but there are also many casual cultivators who come here to see off their juniors.
And this academy is vigorous and grand, covering an even wider area, with various quaint attics everywhere you look.
In addition, it is said that there is a cultivation cave inside it, with spiritual veins underneath it, so the spiritual energy inside it is extremely rich, and those who perform well can enter it for free.
And this is a great blessing for the rootless and floating cultivator.
For this reason, many casual cultivators who were watching looked with envy at the young monk who was about to enter the academy.
At the same time.
Not far away, Fangshi residential area.
In a certain cabin.
"Qing'er, according to the rules set by the Ling family, after entering this academy, you can only go home once a month."
"As a result, you will have to live in it for a long time in the future. Although many of the disciples recruited by this academy are of the same age as you, no one knows what they did in the past. It can be said that they are a mixed bag of dragons and snakes. Therefore, You must be careful."
Mr. Zhang Hua said to his grandson Xiao Zhang Qing warily.
“I understand, grandpa.”
Although little Zhang Qing is young, he grew up next to Mr. Zhang Hua. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, his temperament is relatively mature. Immediately, he nodded.
"Qing'er, this is my grandfather's fortune. Now it's time for you to enter the palace. It is said that although you can get free tuition in this academy, you have to compete with other people, and you are valued. The alchemy process requires a lot of resources to be accumulated. Even if the Ling family guarantees that there will be some special support for talents like you who are doing the alchemy process, the more resources, the better.”
< br>
"For this reason, just take all these things and seize this opportunity. Don't let grandpa down."
Seeing this, Mr. Zhang Hua felt relieved and then took the bag from his storage bag. A bulging bag was summoned.
After a cursory scan, Xiao Zhang Qing found that there were as many as a hundred spirit stones in it, and he was shocked.
According to what he knew, his grandfather Zhang Hua was just an ordinary casual cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training. Before, Zhang Hua's ability to obtain an extremely precious Breaking Realm Pill for him was considered extraordinary.
Under such circumstances, it is logically impossible for him to come up with so many spiritual stones.
"Grandpa, did you sell your magic weapon?"
Little Zhang Qing had a lot of thoughts and thought of the two most precious things in Zhang Hua's body.
Those are two first-level low-grade magic weapons. Although they are low-grade, it is not easy for casual cultivators to have these two items.
When Mr. Zhang Hua heard this, he didn’t say much, and just asked Zhang Qing to put it away as soon as possible.
“Now we are about to be in chaos. Even if you are in a residential area outside this city, you may still encounter danger. You are not very good at magic. As a result, in the future, If you are in danger, how do you protect yourself? ”
This move also made Xiao Zhang Qing's heart sink, and he even felt a little more stressed. However, when he looked at Mr. Zhang Hua, half of his hair had turned gray, and he had an expectant look on his face, he knew that Mr. Zhang Hua had already made up his mind. Certainly.
He sighed slightly, no longer resisted, and took the spirit stone, but he solemnly promised.
"Grandpa, after I enter the palace, I will definitely live up to your expectations, and when I officially enter the alchemy path, I will let you have a good birthday, grandpa."
Zhang Hua The old man couldn't help but feel a little more hopeful. He raised his hand and touched Xiao Zhang Qing's head and said with a smile.
“Good boy!”
"It's not too early, I'll send you to the academy."
......Not long after.
That was built in the Ling Family Academy outside the Ling Family.
Alchemy School.
After Xiao Zhang Qing arrived here, he looked around curiously, only to find that there were only a few people here, but there were dozens of seats.
“Among the more than 100,000 monks, more than 500 disciples were selected to start. Unexpectedly, the Ling family only accepted these few people with the first-level qualification of alchemy.”
“But they have the first-level qualification of alchemy. It should be good, at least enough to be on par with me."
After a while, an old man wearing Ling's Taoist robe suddenly walked in.
The fragrance of elixir is all over his body.
And this is something that only people who have been refining alchemy all year round will carry.
For this reason, when Xiao Zhang Qing looked at this person, he couldn't help showing a bit of awe.
"Come in."
But what surprised him was that as the old man of the Ling family greeted him, many young girls wearing Ling's Taoist robes came in one after another. Here, they looked at Zhang Qing and others curiously, and many of them even had a bit of contempt in their eyebrows, but they quickly found a seat and sat down.
“Why are Ling’s peers here?”
Xiao Zhang Qing and other young casual cultivators were puzzled.
"My name is Ling Yaoguang. I will be your instructor in the alchemy path from now on. You can just call me Ling to teach you."
"In addition, no matter where you are from, whether you have been exposed to the alchemy path or not. Along the way, there will be fair competition in the future. I will use your respective qualifications to select the strong and weak ones for you."
"If you perform well during this period. , there will be prizes naturally, and those who do not perform well will naturally get no prizes.”
“By the way, I almost forgot to tell you, the number of resources allocated by the family here is fixed every year, so, Whoever achieves something first will be comfortable, while those who come later will not be rewarded even if they achieve something, and may even receive less support in the future.”
"..."
At this time, the old alchemist of the Ling family said.
After saying that, he saw many young people practicing alchemy with solemn expressions, and seemed to attach great importance to them. On the other hand, those young people who were practicing alchemy from the Ling family had expressions of contempt on their faces, and he couldn't help but smile.
‘I want to see if you guys can still maintain this situation in the future! '
In the days that followed, the group of Ling's alchemy seedlings seemed to have been exposed to the alchemy path in advance, perhaps because they relied on the Ling family, and had even officially entered the alchemy path. Therefore, Their level has always been at the forefront of this alchemy school.
As for the batch of loose cultivating elixir seedlings, they have always been at the bottom.
However, they all climbed out from the bottom and shouldered a lot of things, so they worked particularly hard.
As time gradually passed, Xiao Zhang Qing relied on his own efforts and the batch of spiritual stones funded by his grandfather Zhang Hua. It only took him three months to get into the alchemy path, which can be regarded as a master. A famous alchemy apprentice.
This move caused a lot of noise.
The batch of Ling's alchemy seedlings were even more unexpected.
Even among them, there are not many who can achieve this level of achievement in just three months, not to mention that Xiao Zhang Qing is a casual cultivator.
But it was precisely because of this that the old alchemy instructor immediately rewarded him with a large amount of resources, and Zhang Qing also seized this opportunity, and with the help of those resources, he gradually became stronger and stronger in the alchemy path. , and even receive frequent teaching appreciation.
In addition, there are several individual cultivation elixir seedlings who have also achieved success.
For a while, many of the Ling family's alchemy seedlings in the school were anxious. After all, the teaching was coming, and the family's resources for alchemy apprentices were fixed every year.
In this way, the resources obtained by Xiao Zhang Qing and other scattered pill cultivators are undoubtedly infringing on their interests.
If the benefits are small, then forget it. They can regard it as charity from the family, but now the resources Zhang Qing and others have obtained are really huge.
‘What should I do now? '
"There is no way. After we entered this academy, we were not allowed to go home. We were even searched when we entered this place. We couldn't bring any resources into this place, so our elders even They want to support us, but there is no other way. For now, we can only work hard to refine the alchemy to improve the alchemy."
"..."
In a moment, the whole world has changed. The atmosphere among the alchemy apprentices became tense.
The same is true for the other schools in the Academy.
This also made many secretly observing teachers in the academy look a little happy.
The family established this academy not out of kindness, but because many senior members of the family saw the future of the younger generation of the family.
Those younger generations are under family constraints and have a lot of ambition, but with the support of their huge families and the care of their parents, they are more or less under no pressure.
This move will not do any harm to them for the time being, but it will hardly stimulate their potential.
For this reason, the family plans to recruit a group of young geniuses in the form of a school to stimulate these disciples.
Now, this move is obviously successful.
The other side.
The highest floor of a certain attic.
“I stood out from more than 100,000 casual cultivators, and even spent my grandfather’s entire fortune, and spent countless days and nights practicing alchemy, just to stimulate Ling’s batch of alchemy seedlings... This Is it sad...or a blessing?"
The young and mature Zhang Qing stood here, looking at the entire academy, with only deep fear and helplessness in his eyebrows.
How could he fail to see Ling's purpose after being admitted to the palace for many days? (End of this chapter)
