Chapter 146 Eight Years Later

The snow wind blew so hard that it felt like a knife cutting my face. Ren Miao couldn't help but quicken his pace as he walked on the road.

A girl named Jiang Yourong followed beside her. Jiang Yourong's cheeks also hurt, but her heart was filled with joy.

"I went out to do some work for Master today. It's only half an hour before noon, which is just enough to miss the morning group meeting!"

“Is there anything more beautiful in the world than this?”

There were already disciples on duty waiting at the mountain gate. Seeing that the eldest senior sister and the youngest junior sister from Piaomiao Peak had returned, the disciple on duty diligently opened the door for them.

...When Jiang Yourong saw the magnificent white brick school gate at the entrance of Piaomiao Peak, her heart tightened. She silently took out the jade student ID card from her arms and swiped it on the machine next to the iron gate.

With a "beep" sound, you clock in and out. Along with the students' entry and exit time information, the Jiang family also received Jiang Yourong's monthly exam transcript, the monthly exam ranking changes accurate to each subject, class attendance records, and so on. This whole set of gadgets for monitoring disciples was created by the talisman practitioners of Yinbing Pavilion.

This thing is called Piaomiao Home-School Communication.

Over the past eight years, the number of talisman practitioners in Yinbing Pavilion on the back mountain of Piaomiao Peak has increased from eight to forty. Everyone is thinking about differentiated competition, looking for down-to-earth tracks, and focusing on the right business model. In order to implement the projects, everyone is doing all kinds of dirty things, and their Yinbingge jargon that sounds like nonsense is increasing.

Jiang Yourong sometimes thought that if there was any righteous sect today that was most like an evil sect, it would definitely be the Yinbing Pavilion.

The white brick west gate of Piaomiao Peak was built two years ago. At that time, there was less than half a year left until the Qingyan Competition, which was held every seven years. In order to ensure that the contestants of Piaomiao Peak would not be harassed, Ning Mingmei waved his hand and set up barriers all around Piaomiao Peak, leaving only the four major peak gates in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest for the disciples to enter and exit. The school gate on the west is made of white bricks, the temple gate on the east is made of red pillars, the gate on the south is built like a slipper in memory of the dedication of the monks of Yinbing Pavilion, and the school gate on the north is made of red bricks and iron.

The two walked all the way to the top of the mountain. Along the way, Jiang Yourong first passed by the security office of Piaomiao Peak, and then the playground of Piaomiao Peak... Seeing the playground, Jiang Yourong sighed.

"Do you guys in the middle school still need to go jogging in the morning?" Ren Miao said.

"Every day I have to get up at 11am and run ten laps! And I have to do gymnastics!" Jiang Yourong said, "Senior sister, I envy you so much. You guys in the university don't have to run in the morning."

Today, the disciples of Piaomiao Peak are divided into two departments: the middle school department and the university department, and are managed in different ways.

Disciples like Jiang Yourong who are in the early stage of foundation building belong to the middle school department and live in the small pine forest. Their cultivation is low, but perhaps they are gifted, perhaps they have a good background, or they work very hard - so they can all enter Piaomiao Peak during the Foundation Establishment Stage or even the Qi Refining Stage and become a member of the peak.

The management characteristics of the middle school department are relatively strict. On weekdays, they have a schedule, morning exercises, morning reading classes, weekly tests, monthly tests, midterm tests, final exams, class meetings, evening self-study classes... and so on. In addition to the above, they also have a unique course: interest class.

The interest classes for students of Piaomiao Peak Middle School are both compulsory and voluntary. The three more popular "voluntary" interest classes are called "Olympiad Mathematics", "Composition" and foreign languages. The most popular foreign language teacher is Bai Bugui, who teaches the language of the demon world.

Although these three supplementary classes were "voluntary", Jiang Yourong was overwhelmed by the successive exams as soon as she entered Piaomiao Peak. Piaomiao Peak is full of talented people, and in order not to fall to the bottom, Jiang Yourong can only voluntarily take extra lessons.

Speaking of this, there is one more thing to digress - make-up classes are not allowed in Piaomiao Peak. If you ask someone for extra lessons outside Fengwai, you will be fined. But the official remedial classes at Piaomiao Peak are not called remedial classes, they are called extracurricular expansion. Jiang Yourong has three-party expansion activities every weekend, which is very fulfilling.

The interest class that the students of Piaomiao Peak Middle School are forced to attend is called "Group Meeting".

Every Monday morning, middle school students need to attend group meetings with university students. Although they are mostly auditors, they also need to report on the progress of their major assignments at the end - one major assignment per subject per semester is a requirement of the middle school department. Jiang Yourong's biology homework is to breed rabbits. The rabbit monster escaped from the cage last week and ate up all the experimental rice fields of Old Seventeen at Piaomiao Peak. Lao Shiqi's thesis materials evaporated on the spot, and he was so angry that he was sent directly to Qizhen Peak for rescue. This is why Jiang Yourong didn’t dare to go to the group meeting today.

Jiang Yourong came to Piaomiao Peak a year ago. She is a member of the Jiang family and the cousin of Jiang Yu from Yuting Peak. In addition, she has outstanding qualifications, so it was natural for her to be qualified to join Piaomiao Peak.

——And eliminated a junior sister from Sikong Hall named Yu Zi, who was said to be very popular.

That junior sister was also very stubborn. After she failed to be selected into Piaomiao Peak eight years ago, she actually rejected invitations from other peaks. She is very stubborn and has great initiative. With the belief that “if I fail the exam, I will try again!”, she confidently participated in the selection of Piaomiao Peak again last year - and then failed again. Jiang Yourong recently heard that Yu Zi was preparing for the third exam and would not stop until she was admitted to Piaomiao Peak.

All kinds of thoughts were running wild in Jiang Yourong's mind. She and Ren Miao walked across the playground, past the auditorium and teaching building of the middle school...Finally, not far away, a group of magnificent white buildings came into view.

This group of buildings is spotlessly white, solemn yet graceful, exquisite yet smooth. The flower bed in the center of the building complex is beautiful, and the three golden characters "Piao Miao Feng" above the buildings are shining brightly.

Jiang Yourong looked at it and shuddered.

"We went to the wrong building. This is Building A, not Building B." Ren Miao said to her softly, "Let's go to the conference room quickly. Don't let Master wait anxiously."

Jiang Yourong: ...

How come some people are still walking so fast at this time?

Jiang Yourong originally thought that Ren Miao walked fast only because her cultivation level was higher than hers. But now she realized that Ren Miao's speed came not only from her objective physical fitness, but also from her subjective initiative.

Ren Miao looked weak, but he went up the stairs very quickly, taking two steps at a time. The senior sister led the way in front, and the junior sister could only run behind her.

Fortunately, when I ran to the second floor...

The noon bell rang.

The door to the conference room was opened and the disciples filed out. The one walking in front was the Twenty-Seventh Brother, his eyes were red, and it was obvious that he had just been scolded and cried by his master. The dozens of disciples walking behind him also looked dejected, like eggplants hit by frost.

Even the best-looking Senior Brother Lin is like this... Senior Brother Lin, that’s Senior Brother Lin!

Before Jiang Yourong's heart could even start beating rapidly, it was silenced by just one sentence.

Ren Miao: "Master said it's okay to be late. You just need to report to him one-on-one now... Yourong?"

The junior sister stood at the end, looking dazed.

From a distance, a young man was sitting deep in the conference room. He wore glasses and held his chin, with a look of sarcasm and professionalism between his eyebrows, and was a very role model for a teacher.

Even with such sarcasm and indifference, he still looked very handsome. When the young man sits there alone without saying anything, he always gives people the feeling of a casual yet delicate flower from aloof mountain, difficult to approach.

When she first entered school, Jiang Yourong's heart also beat for her very beautiful master. Until she stood on the podium confidently with the slides she made.

After that, Jiang Yourong's heart would never beat again.

…

Ning Mingmei reviewed the progress of Jiang Yourong's major assignment, looked through her transcript, asked Jiang Yourong to explain the reason for her ranking change, asked Jiang Yourong to write a 1,000-word review analyzing the reason why the demon rabbit escaped, and by the way, he grabbed a coolie (Jiang Yourong) to do the experiment for the project of Lao Shiwu, who was short of manpower.

Finally, he let Bai Bugui in, returned the rabbit to Jiang Yourong, and let her go out with Bai Bugui.

The fox is quite good at catching rabbits.

The group meetings of the research group and the preparatory group have been completed, and there will be a group meeting of the MBA group in the afternoon. Today, the number of people under Ning Mingmei's management has increased to six, all of whom are trustworthy and useful disciples he has collected from all over the place. This greatly increased the management efficiency of the Ning Mingmei academic development group.

There is a half-hour lunch break before the next group meeting. Ning Mingmei left everyone behind and walked towards his own Building B alone.

A big water bar, a big sofa, a big screen, a perfect tea maker, a freezer full of snacks, and plush cushions.

Ning Mingmei: "This is where immortal cultivators should live!"

system:……

The system has become numb and no longer wants to call Ning Mingmei.

Eight years is enough time for a lot of things to change. For example, the scale of Ning Mingmei's Piaomiao Peak building complex increased from A and B to A, B, C, D and E. Although the construction of new teaching facilities slowed down the construction progress of Ning Mingmei's experimental building, fortunately, Yu Zi's design has always been satisfactory - yes, Ning Mingmei had long discovered that Yu Zi's real identity was Ada. But considering that this young lady's design skills are really good and she is more careful and responsible than most of the civil engineering guys on the construction site, Ning Mingmei made up his mind to let her continue to burn her life on the construction site.

At the same time, Ning Mingmei's university disciples expanded to 35 people - the remaining disciples were still receiving quality education in the middle school department. Ning Mingmei had to extend the meeting time to fully manage each disciple.

Houshan Science and Technology Park has achieved breakthrough progress. The group of programmers stationed at Piaomiao Peak by Yinbing Pavilion has expanded to forty people, the activity of Feisi Book has reached a historical high, and CNKI, which publishes Piaomiao Peak Journal and disciples' papers, has been launched. Four years ago, Piaomiao Peak launched the first issue of "Piaomiao Journal", which published disciples' papers and was temporarily only distributed within Qingji Sect. In the first phase, an unprecedented tsunami was set off in the entire Qingji Sect.

How could someone share the secrets of his or her cultivation? This is unprecedented in the entire world of cultivating immortals!

As we all know, family "inheritance" is strength.

But soon, the monks discovered that knowledge was not free.

Thanks to Lin Heting's research and the improvements made by Baimian and Huyang, Piaomiao Peak's printing technology has reached an unprecedented new height in history. The journal has been mass-produced, but at a high price.

If you want to read the Piaomiaofeng Journal, you need to pay. And it’s not cheap. A copy of the journal costs nearly a thousand spirit stones.

Moreover, the journal is encrypted and cannot be copied or disseminated.

There is a way to avoid paying the money - that is to submit an article to the Piaomiaofeng Journal. Once the submission is included, you will not only receive a free journal issue, but also receive a certain citation fee when the paper is cited. Of course, the prerequisite is that the submission must strictly follow the paper format, the data must be detailed, and a publication fee must be paid.

Well...just a few thousand spirit stones.

So many people initially thought that Piaomiao Peak was crazy about money. But then, something unexpected happened to them.
