Chapter 346: Asking the Way Academy, Twenty Years Later

Chapter 346 – The Academy of Asking the Way, Twenty Years Later

Indeed.

There were quite a few things that both of them had to do in this retreat.

In Shen Ruyan’s case, there were tasks such as refining true treasures, comprehending divine abilities, and raising their cultivation level.

Jiang Chengxuan was almost the same.

He needed to raise his Thick Earth Desolate Heavenly Halberd to the level of a True Treasure.

In addition, he also wanted to utilize the Heavenly Kui Grass and other spiritual items he had obtained from that relic to do some body refining.

If there was still time, he would also like to study things like how to repair spirit veins.

All in all, time was indeed very tight for the two of them.

Therefore, the two of them did not dare to have the slightest delay.

After entering the cave together, they began their seclusion.

Time passed very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was already five years later.

During these five years, the entire Jiang Kingdom, up and down, had already built up the corresponding teaching places as Jiang Chengxuan had requested.

The name was also according to Jiang Chengxuan’s request, was designated as the Ask Academy.

In total, the academy was divided into three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced.

That is, primary school, intermediate school, and advanced school.

The primary school, what was taught, was mainly the fundamentals of Immortal Cultivation, as well as the knowledge and essentials related to the early to mid stages of Qi Refining.

As long as you are able to bring your own cultivation to the middle stage of qi refining within the stipulated time, you will be able to reach the middle stage of qi refining.

Or if you complete a certain test, you can continue to stay in the academy to further your education.

You can also apply to enroll in an intermediate academy if you meet the requirements.

In the intermediate academy, the main content taught was about cultivation from the middle to late stages of Qi Refining.

In addition to that, there was also a lot of knowledge about fighting and practicing spells.

The Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation would also be mentioned in a cursory manner.

Waiting until after the advanced academy.

There would be many missions arranged to go out and practice, in order to build up enough resources for the Foundation Establishment afterwards.

As long as you have accumulated enough contributions, then the Foundation Establishment Pills needed to break through Foundation Establishment will never be a problem.

There’s even less need to worry about whether or not you’ll be robbed by others after you’ve obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Because within the academy, no one would ever dare to do such a thing.

Once found out, the lesser case would be abolishing your cultivation, the heavier case would be directly beating you to death, and there was even the possibility that your family would be dragged into it.

At the very least, your offspring, in the future, will no longer have the opportunity to enter the academy to cultivate.

And as long as you are able to successfully build a foundation, then you will have the opportunity to choose to join a certain sect or family.

Of course, this choice is a double one.

No one can force anyone.

Of course, it’s not like there haven’t been real obstacles along the way.

It was just that that kind of obstruction was simply worthless in the face of absolute power.

At this moment.

The first batch of new students who had come to the Inquirer’s Academy looked at everything around them with a face full of curiosity.

Most of these new students were children from the bottom tier of loose cultivators, as well as ordinary mortals who had been detected to have spiritual roots.

There was naturally no shortage of children from certain large sect families among them.

They looked at the tall buildings in front of them, the majestic mountains, and the rich spiritual qi around them that was different from the outside world.

Especially in this room, the faint majesty that faintly surrounded.

Even those who came from the children of large sects and families, their hearts could not help but also rise up with a strong sense of awe.

At this time, a youngster with a rather naive face couldn’t help but open his mouth:

“From today, are we going to live here for ten years?”

Hearing his words, one of the Jiang Clan’s Foundation Establishment sons, who was responsible for leading the group this time, couldn’t help but turn his head to look at him and laugh:

“To be precise, it should be to cultivate and study here for ten years.

I’ve already told you all about the relevant circumstances before.

If you guys are able to be courageous and improve during these ten years, you will achieve something and advance all the way to the intermediate academy, or even the advanced academy.

And even ultimately succeed in building the foundation.

Then from now on, you will truly have a foothold in the Immortal Cultivation World.

In the future, if you want to join a certain sect, or family, learn and cultivate higher techniques, and climb to a higher realm of Immortal Cultivation, it’s not a problem.

So.

Work hard.

This is the only chance you have to change your own destiny, and it’s also a chance that my family’s old ancestor created specifically for you, so I hope you won’t fail this chance, and even more so, you won’t fail yourself.”

With a few words, he couldn’t help but make the faces of these children and teenagers all become unusually serious.

One must know that right now, anyone who can come here is not one who is unintelligent.

At least these people at the moment are so.

Especially those who were the children of the bottom layer of loose cultivators, knew even more profoundly that the opportunity in front of them, how rare and hard-won it really was.

I must grasp this opportunity well, and strive to change my, and my parents’ fate today.

A young man with an incomparably resolute face, looking at everything in front of him, couldn’t help but secretly clench his fist and make a vow in his heart.

Boom!
Just as that Jiang family Foundation Establishment son, leading this group of new students, arrived at the center square of this academy, a strong aura, suddenly came from far and near.

Soon, on the high platform of the square, a strong figure appeared.

At the head of the center, there was a beautiful Qianying in white clothes and white dress.

Like a fairy from the nine heavens descending to the mortal world, it was also like a round of warm and balmy light.

All the new students were all staring blankly.

Including those who came from the sons of large sect families, there was also no exception.

They had never seen such a perfect woman before.

That figure, those features, were simply unearthly.

“We have met the Mansion Master!”

Right at this moment, the group of strong figures present actually bowed in unison towards the white-skirted woman at the center of the high platform.

Seeing this, the crowd of new students also immediately came back to their senses, and immediately bowed to that white-skirted woman under the lead of the leading cultivator.

“Students meet the Mansion Master!”

“Well, all get up.”

The white-skirted woman spoke softly.

However, her voice was as if it was ringing in everyone’s ears, allowing them to hear it clearly.

At the same time, they also clearly felt that there was a very soft force that straightened their bent down waists.

At that moment, they heard that white-skirted woman say:

“The relevant things, I think you should all be clear already.

Here, I only want to say one thing.

Regardless of whether you have a Heterogeneous Spiritual Root qualification, a Second Spiritual Root, a Third Spiritual Root, a Fourth Spiritual Root, or even a Fifth Spiritual Root qualification, as long as you don’t give up on yourself within my Inquirer’s Academy, then you will always have a chance.

I hope that today, you will be proud to be a student of my Inquirer’s Academy.

In the future, my Inquirer’s Academy will be proud to have students like you.”

After saying these words, the white-skirted woman did not stay long.

Only her figure slowly disappeared.

When the crowd of academy instructors saw this, they immediately bowed in unison once again.

“We respectfully send off the House Master!”

Some time later.

Some trainees were curious to ask about the House Master’s identity.

At that moment, they heard that Jiang Family Foundation Establishment disciple say with a face of admiration:
“You guys still don’t know, right, our House Master, that’s the personal disciple of my Jiang family’s ancestor, and also my Jiangzhou’s famous Jindan real person, known as the Light Shrouded Fairy, which means that wherever she goes, all the evil demons and demonic cultivators, will have nothing to hide.”

“Surprisingly, it’s the personal disciple of that YuanYing Ancestor?”

The hearts of the crowd of trainees were all greatly shocked.

They hadn’t really thought that that Elder Infant Ancestor would send his personal disciple to come and serve as the House Master of their Inquiring Academy.

From this, it could be seen that that old ancestor, he was really very serious about this matter.

At this moment, no matter who was present.

Even those sons and daughters who came from large sect families, their hearts could not help but also ignite a flame.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, it was another ten years.

During these ten years or so, the development of the Inquirer’s Academy grew more and more rapidly.

There had been several batches of new students enrolled before and after.

The earliest batch, even ten years ago, completed their studies at the Primary Academy and successfully entered the Intermediate Academy.

In addition, the order of the entire Jiang Country had also become more and more stable.

At least on the surface, there weren’t many people who dared to openly commit the act of killing and seizing treasures.

Even if there were occasionally, they could only hide in the shadows, not daring to really venture out.

Because those who ventured out, at this time the grave grass has already grown old and tall.

With the changes in the order of the entire Jiang country, as well as due to ask the academy, and slowly cohesion and the hearts of the people, so that the entire Jiang state of the people’s fortunes, is also in the rapid rise.

This is something that Jiang Chengxuan, who has just finished his closed-door cultivation, feels most clearly.

Because just in the past time, he had felt very smooth whether he was sacrificing his original treasure, the Thick Earth Desolate Heavenly Halberd, or utilizing that Heavenly Kuei Grass for body refining.

Among them, there wasn’t even the slightest obstruction.

Almost twenty years.

His Thick Earth Desolate Heavenly Halberd was successfully promoted to a Fifth Order True Treasure.

Including his body refining cultivation, he had also managed to advance even further to the mid-fifth rank level with the help of that Heavenly Kui Grass and other body refining spirit items.

Moreover, he had also gained some clarity on how to mend his broken spirit veins at this moment.

As long as the corresponding materials were sufficient, he was already somewhat capable of trying to mend some low rank spirit veins.

Of course, whether it would be successful or not, one would still have to actually practice to know.

But in Jiang Chengxuan’s own estimation, the probability of success would basically be around 60 to 70%.

“Husband.”

Right at this moment, the door to the cultivation quiet room located on the side where Shen Ruyan was suddenly opened.

Only Shen Ruyan walked out from it.

As soon as she appeared, Jiang Chengxuan detected a change in her aura and a flash of surprise appeared on his face.

“Madam, your cultivation …… level?”

“Uh-huh.”

Shen Ruyan smiled and nodded.

“I took that Purple Wenren Thunder Fruit, and it directly caused me to break two realms in a row.

From the YuanYing fourth layer before, I broke through to the YuanYing sixth layer.

Moreover, right now, all of my divine abilities, true treasures, and power have also increased to a great extent.”

“Then I really must congratulate you, ma’am.”

Jiang Chengxuan heartily congratulated.

Next, the couple exchanged a few words about this retreat.

After about some time.

Jiang Anran and Jiang Renyi, among others, came before the two of them and reported to them about some of the situations in these past twenty years.

Especially about that Questioning Academy.

Both husband and wife listened very carefully.

In a few moments.

Then he saw a slight trace of hesitation on Jiang Renyi’s face.

Jiang Chengxuan could see the difference in him, so he immediately opened his mouth and asked:
“Renyi, what’s wrong? Is there something wrong?”

Jiang Renyi hesitated once again, but in the end, he opened his mouth and said to the duo:
“Reporting to uncle, in the Shen Family where uncle mother is from, that Elder Xu Qianhe Xu, sat down three years ago.”

“Hm? Elder Xu sat down?”

Suddenly hearing this news, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but both be stunned, and then both of them were somewhat silent.

Xu Qianhe, was considered a deceased person who was quite familiar with them in the past.

Now at first hearing the news of the other party sitting down, if they said that their hearts were not a little touched, it was obviously impossible.

Although their cultivation had reached their realm, their state of mind was already very strong.

But a strong state of mind does not mean that they do not have the emotions they should have as human beings.

Even more so, it wasn’t that they cultivated and cultivated and turned into wood, ice.

Can not have the slightest fluctuation, view the deceased people around them, and even the departure of relatives and friends.

In the end, the cultivation of the improvement, the improvement of the state of mind, just let them to the truth of this world, see more understanding, thorough.

For the sense of the Dao, it became even clearer.

Looking at problems, and even people and things, will stand in a higher angle, level, to think, analyze, so as to make more favorable choices or decisions for themselves, and even the public.

But by no means, as some people do, after practicing, they have no feeling for everything.

In addition to oneself, no matter relatives, friends, and even benefactors, can be freely discarded.

That, too, was by no means the Dao that the couple was pursuing.

“Tomorrow, you and I will go back together and pay our respects to Elder Xu.”

At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan turned his head towards Shen Ruyan and spoke.

He wouldn’t think that with his current cultivation, status, and position, there would be any problems with going to pay tribute to a cultivator who only had a Zifu cultivation.

The current him simply wouldn’t be bound inwardly by these so-called high or low statuses, or even nobility, and naturally, it would be even less likely that he would be bound by these things, and bind his behavior.

After all, what he cultivated, one of the great things, that was self-containment.

If even this matter, have to think about, even worry about whether it is suitable, then what to talk about self-containment can be said?

Shen Ruyan was clearly the same as Jiang Chengxuan.

At this moment, when she heard Jiang Chengxuan’s words, she nodded.

In fact, there was still a sentence left unsaid in their hearts.

That was that with Xu Qianhe’s death, the remaining lifespan of those deceased people, relatives, and friends that they had once known should not be much.

If their cultivation could no longer make a breakthrough in the corresponding time, I’m afraid that after a hundred years, they would also be spared the fate of sitting down.

Even if they are given life-extending spiritual substances.

But the time that can be extended is also very limited.

Once the time is up, the result will still not change in the slightest.

The next day.
Jiang Chengxuan and Mr. and Mrs. Shen Ruyan came to the Shen family as promised.

Because before they came, they had already greeted Shen Yuanlong and Shen Daoming, so they didn’t attract much attention from the Shen family in the middle.

Soon, their group of four people, they came to Xu Qianhe’s tombstone.
