The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 154 Egret Academy

Qingxu Town, Wanbao Pavilion. Ji Mo came back in a disheveled state and went straight to see Chu Xuan Ji. Chu Xuan Ji saw Ji Mo's appearance, frowned and said: "What? You are not a match for Shen Liang?" Ji Mo cupped his hands and said: "I don't know when he refined a quasi-spiritual treasure. If my subordinates don't fight desperately, I'm afraid I can't hurt him." The implication is that he can't beat Shen Liang yet. Chu Xuan Ji understood that it was indeed a disadvantage to have no suitable weapons. Chu Xuan Ji asked: "Then is it done?" Ji Mo said: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. I saw that their family formation was reopened, so I took the opportunity to get rid of the entanglement with Shen Liang. All the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Seven Stars Academy died in an instant."

Chu Xuanji was also a little surprised and said, "In an instant?" Ji Mo affirmed, "The auras of more than 20 Nascent Soul cultivators disappeared at the same time." Chu Xuanji laughed and said, "It seems that my brother's methods are amazing. Well, you go and rest first, and prepare to break through the middle stage of the Spiritualization. It's just a quasi-spiritual treasure. Master Zhuge is about to break through the Spiritualization. When the time comes, let Master Zhuge refine one for you." After comforting Ji Mo for a few words, Chu Xuanji meditated again. His realm is also fast, and breaking through the peak of the Spiritualization is just around the corner.

In the southeast of the Great Zhou Kingdom, there is a city that is one of the few in the country, Licheng! Licheng is extremely prosperous. It is also the only city in the Great Zhou Kingdom where cultivators and mortals live together. Since the emergence of cultivators, the descendants of cultivators have increased. The descendants who cannot cultivate immortals have gradually gathered together and gradually turned into villages, towns, and cities. Licheng is also the only city that is not bound by the court system. It cannot even be said that Licheng is a city in the Great Zhou Kingdom. However, it is indeed located in the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom. In fact, every country has one or two similar cities, more or less. After all, cultivators are also human beings, and many of them still care about family affection. Qixingyuan is located in such a city. Many families will send their children to Qixingyuan for enlightenment, learn the knowledge of the world of cultivation, or learn family skills and magic under the guidance of the teachers of Qixingyuan.

The Seven Star Academy is an extremely grand and huge building. It covers an area of ​​500 acres, with various teaching facilities and even a medicinal field. Medicinal fields are not something that anyone can build in Aotian Continent. It is not that there are restrictions, but it is very difficult to plant medicinal fields, and often it is a loss. I will not go into details here. The spiritual medicines used by the cultivators of Aotian Continent mainly come from two places, the first is the secret realm, and the second is the Red Mountains. Some known secret realms are basically taken up by the big sects on the continent. Occasionally, some small secret realms that are not valued by the big sects can only be taken by those small and medium-sized forces. Forget about the spiritual medicines in the Red Mountains. Basically, only low-level cultivators dare to go in and take risks to pick some. Cultivators with cultivation above the level of transformation cannot go there. It is not because of the rules, but because they are afraid of losing their lives. Unless you reach the realm of fusion or above, you will just be a delivery. And the fusion cultivators, there are no more than a thousand people in the sects of the entire continent.

Qixingyuan is a seven-story building, and it is also the landmark building of Qixingyuan. In the dean's office on the seventh floor, Shen Liang was bowing and reporting to a monk who looked like a pale-faced scholar. The pale-faced scholar was wearing a loose light blue gown, a turban on his head, a folding fan in his hand, his eyes were closed, and his brows were frowned from time to time. After Shen Liang finished speaking, the pale-faced scholar tapped the palm of his left hand with the folding fan in his right hand. After a few breaths, the folding fan opened, and the pale-faced scholar also opened his pair of phoenix eyes. Shaking the folding fan, he said: "Eight Yuanying Great Perfection monks, all of them are reserve gods. They were all killed in the Zhong family. Haha, now the old dean of Bailu Academy must have laughed his teeth off."

The pale-faced scholar was the dean of the Seven Stars Academy, Mu Chenxu, a late-stage Spiritualization cultivator. Shen Liang felt something was wrong when he heard the dean's laughter, and quickly said, "Dean, the student has taken back the Broken Mirror Pill. As long as we find a candidate, our Seven Stars Academy can have one more Spiritualization cultivator. Yuanying cultivators can still be trained. Without the Broken Mirror Pill, they will only be in the Yuanying stage for their entire lives. One Spiritualization cultivator is worth a thousand Yuanying cultivators!" The dean stared at Shen Liang without saying a word. The invisible pressure made Shen Liang sweat unconsciously. In the academy, Mu Chenxu looked very kind, but the senior management knew that he was ruthless and narrow-minded, and he could not bear any loss. He only liked his younger brother. This time, the Broken Mirror Pill was bought for his younger brother, but his younger brother lost the pill himself, and finally the academy had to send people to get it back.

Qixing Academy is not the only academy in Licheng, but Chen Qi emerged and overwhelmed the other academy. Bailu Academy was originally stronger than Qixing Academy, but now because of Chen Qi, it has to give in everywhere. Bailu Academy is not smaller than Qixing Academy. It also covers an area of ​​more than 400 acres. Everything in the academy is no worse than that of Qixing Academy, except that there is Chen Qi. Now in the dean's office of Bailu Academy, the old dean Yang Hong is happily drinking spiritual tea. Sitting next to him is a young man in blue. He looks young, but if you feel it carefully, you can find that he is actually a great monk in the late stage of the transformation of the spirit! But he hides the fluctuations of his mana very well, and if you don't observe carefully, you really can't see it.

The old dean Yang Hong said cheerfully: "Zi Yu, you brought me good news today. This news is enough to make me happy for a while. Haha, I am dying of laughter. The Seven Stars Academy actually lost eight Yuanying Great Perfection cultivators to a small family! That hypocrite must be gritting his teeth now!!" The one called Zi Yu is the young Divine Transformation cultivator, whose real name is Tang Tong, and whose courtesy name is Zi Yu. He is the vice-dean of the White Egret Academy, but he is often not in the academy. Zi Yu is not as open-minded as the old dean, and said: "Brother Yang, don't be too happy. Although the Seven Stars Academy lost eight Yuanying Great Perfection cultivators, they still got the Broken Mirror Pill back." Dean Yang Hong put away his smile and said: "Only that hypocrite can do such a thing! He is unworthy of being a teacher! What kind of students can such a teacher teach? The whole Seven Stars Academy is full of smoke and miasma!"

The White Egret Academy has existed longer than the Seven Stars Academy. It has been standing on this continent for tens of thousands of years, and Yang Hong is the fifth dean. It is worth mentioning that the dean of the Seven Stars Academy, Mu Chenxu, was also a student of the White Egret Academy before, but later he jumped to the Seven Stars Academy and started a rivalry with the White Egret Academy. Originally, Yang Hong didn't think much of it. It was someone's own choice, and he couldn't stop it. But a lot of things happened in the meantime. After Mu Chenxu took over as the dean of the Seven Stars Academy, he had been secretly poaching students from the White Egret Academy. Chen Qi was poached by Mu Chenxu! That's why Dean Yang hated Mu Chenxu so much. Mu Chenxu was also his student before, but the student turned around and poached the teacher's students. What kind of thing is this~

Hearing Zi Yu talking about the Broken Mirror Pill, the old dean was furious and said angrily: "That hypocrite got the news earlier than me, and ended up blocking the news channel in Licheng. When I found out, the auction had already started! Otherwise, how could the Broken Mirror Pill be bought by a small family?!" Mu Chenxu only blocked the news for two hours, and Yang Hong was a step slower. In this regard, Mu Chenxu's methods are much more sophisticated than Yang Hong, and it is no wonder that he has been suppressed by the Seven Star Academy for all these years. Zi Yu said: "Brother Yang, don't be angry. Now our dispute with the Seven Star Academy cannot be solved by one or two more Divine Transformation cultivators. This time, my friend came to the Great Zhou to take charge of the affairs of the Great Zhou Kingdom's Wanbao Pavilion. I only knew about it a while ago. In the future, if there are similar divine pills, he will definitely notify me first. Even the Broken Void Pill is not impossible to appear!"

When Yang Hong heard about the Void-Breaking Pill, his hand holding the teacup shook unconsciously. He asked uncertainly, "Will the Void-Breaking Pill really appear in the Wanbao Pavilion of the Great Zhou? I remember that the last time was about 500 years ago. The sects and schools with a little strength in the Great Zhou Kingdom were slaughtered and blood flowed like a river!" Zi Yu sneered, "It must be there. In fact, everyone knows that this is a bait thrown by the big sects, isn't it just to select good seeds? It's less than 30 years away from the grand event that happens once every 500 years. It should appear soon. As long as the dean prepares the resources, as for the news, the Seven Stars Academy will definitely not get ahead this time!"

Mu Chenxu from the Seven Stars Academy waved his fan and said with a smile, "You mean, eight Yuanying Great Perfection, in exchange for a Broken Mirror Pill is worth it?" Shen Liang knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said, "Dean, actually this matter is very strange, don't you think? What a coincidence, the student's enemy Ji Mo found me through the Zhong family and entangled with me for a while, and during this time, something happened over there." Mu Chenxu said, "Are you saying that Wanbao Pavilion deliberately intervened? Impossible, Wanbao Pavilion has been in this continent for many years and has always been neutral, otherwise those people would not let them exist so freely." Shen Liang said, "It's not Wanbao Pavilion that intervened, and some people in Wanbao Pavilion teamed up with people outside."

Mu Chenxu was shocked and asked, "How did you know? We can't guess about this. Wanbao Pavilion is not easy to mess with!" Shen Liang said, "If it were someone else, they might not know, but I just know one thing." Mu Chenxu said impatiently, "Say it, don't say half and hide the other half!" Shen Liang set up a ban, then approached the dean and whispered, "As far as I know, the person in charge of Wanbao Pavilion Da Zhou, Chu Xuanji, and the vice president of Bailu Academy, Tang Tong, are good friends!" Shen Liang smiled and said, "This is also a coincidence. I have a grudge with Chu Xuanji's subordinate, Ji Mo, and this grudge was made in Qin State!" Mu Chenxu was shocked: "Qin State! Is it that Qin State?!" Shen Liang said, "In the entire Aotian Continent, which country dares to be called Qin State?"

Qin! The most powerful country in the entire Aotian Continent! It is also the most powerful sect! The only family that dares to rule the huge Qin Kingdom as a cultivator! It is because the Qin royal family has a heaven-defying existence! Yan Emperor! From then on, the Qin royal family is the Yan Emperor family, and the Ying family has been occupying it for more than 100,000 years!

Shen Liang continued, "When I was in Qin State, I knew Chu Xuan Ji. He was a genius in the Wanbao Pavilion of Qin State and was very famous throughout the Qin State. He was appreciated by the Grand Pavilion Master and was also a master of alchemy!" Mu Chenxu said, "Of course I know Chu Xuan Ji, how do you know the relationship between Tang Tong and Chu Xuan Ji?" Shen Liang said, "One year, a youth alchemy competition was held in Qin State. The final was between Chu Xuan Ji and Tang Tong, and they have become good friends since then!" Mu Chenxu believed it now. Tang Tong was indeed the alchemist of Bailuyuan, but he didn't know that Tang Tong's alchemy skills were so superb!

Mu Chenxu was deep in thought, and Shen Liang was relieved to finally clear himself of responsibility. After a while, Mu Chenxu asked, "You mean, Chu Xuanji and Bailuyuan were behind the Zhong family's incident this time?" Shen Liang said, "When Ji Mo and I confronted each other, it was only a moment before I discovered that the aura of more than 20 Nascent Soul cultivators disappeared. After Ji Mo ran away, I went to check, but the Zhong family's formation had been activated again, so I couldn't check the situation inside. I think there should be another God Transformation. Li Qian'er definitely doesn't have the ability to kill so many people of the same level at once."

When Mu Chenxu heard that eight Yuanying Great Perfection cultivators were gone, he almost took up his sword and mounted his horse. Now after hearing these words, he felt that he should not be impulsive. If he fell into someone's trap, it would be a loss. The Seven Stars Academy could afford to lose eight Yuanying Great Perfection cultivators, but if they lost one or two Spiritual Transformation cultivators, it would be a serious loss. Mu Chenxu thought to himself: "It seems that Shen Liang was right to retreat first. I almost blamed him wrongly." Mu Chenxu looked at Shen Liang and said: "Thank you for your hard work on this trip. Go down and have a rest. Let me think about the Zhong family's affairs again." Shen Liang bowed and retreated. He wiped the sweat at the door and thought to himself: "Finally, I passed the test. If the dean remembers this, I don't know when he will settle with you!"
