Chapter 100 Wuji Academy
The person who sent the message revealed his identity: Zhao Gu, the president of Wuji Academy.
As for the content, it was to invite Su Qingwu to the hospital for a talk.
She was very surprised to hear this message.
The dean of Wuji Academy is a Jindan cultivator. The two had never met before. Why would the other party suddenly look for her?
For a moment, Su Qingwu became alert.
She has a precious treasure with her, so when she encounters something like this, she can't help but think too much.
Could it be that the dean learned something and wanted to take the opportunity to steal the treasure?
However, there were no warning signs of the spiritual experience, so this possibility seemed unlikely.
Just as Su Qingwu was hesitating about what to decide, a voice sounded in his ears again.
"Don't worry, my friend. I have no ill intentions. I can guarantee this with an oath."
After hearing this, Su Qingwu's guard eased a little.
Looking at the four characters "Wuji Academy" carved in long strokes not far away, she was about to move forward, when at this moment, a girl in a light grey, double-breasted long dress walked out of the courtyard.
As she approached, the girl bowed to her and said crisply, "Senior, the dean wants to see you."
Wen Yan was full of curiosity at this moment.
She felt that the cultivation level of the person in front of her was lower than hers, but for some reason, the dean specifically instructed her to address him as a senior and be courteous and invite him into the hospital.
On the other side, Su Qingwu heard this and nodded slightly.
"Thank you, Daoist Brother Lao, for leading the way."
When Wen Yan heard this, she immediately bowed again, then walked to the side, pointing the way as she walked.
She had many questions in her mind. The person next to her looked about the same age as her. There were several times along the way when she wanted to ask directly, but she was afraid of disturbing the other person.
Su Qingwu naturally noticed that he wanted to say something but hesitated, but he didn't say anything.
Wuji Academy is a very unfamiliar place to her, where being cautious in words and actions is the first rule.
Even though the dean had just made it clear that he had no ill intentions, she would not completely let her guard down.
Just like that, the two remained silent all the way without any communication.
There were not many monks in the monastery. Occasionally, I would meet a few people who would look at me with curiosity.
Someone asked a question, but when Wen Yan mentioned the word "dean", he stopped talking immediately...
After nearly half a cup of tea, the two arrived in front of an ancient courtyard.
Wen Yan stopped and was about to report, but the gate opened automatically at this moment.
An old man with a kind face walked out from inside.
When she saw the other party, Wen Yan immediately bowed.
"Dean, the senior you are looking for, Yan'er has been brought here."
Zhao Gu hummed, "You've worked hard, go take a rest."
"yes."
Wen Yan bowed again and then left the place silently.
At this time Su Qingwu sensed the old man's cultivation level, which was in the late golden elixir stage, with a restrained aura and great strength.
She bowed slightly and asked:
"The senior sent me a message earlier. What's the important matter?"
Zhao Gu did not answer immediately, but turned around and made a gesture of invitation.
"Standing at the door is not a good way to entertain guests. You can go inside and discuss in detail."
Su Qingwu nodded in agreement and walked into the courtyard. The scent of bamboo immediately filled his nose.
After sitting down, Zhao Gu brewed a pot of the best spiritual tea and then brought up something.
"My friend is from Qianzhi Sect. He left the sect to train and has been to Jinyuan Pavilion in Guluo City."
The tone was full of affirmation, not a question.
"Senior, have you ever inquired about my whereabouts?"
"No, I did not do that. The reason I know this is because of a divination I got recently. Did you get a gilded precious leaf in Jinyuan Pavilion?"
Hearing him say this, Su Qingwu instantly remembered the strange phenomenon that Su Wen mentioned had occurred when he was refining this spiritual weapon.
She nodded calmly.
"Indeed, there was a golden toad spitting out treasures in this pavilion, and the gilded treasure leaf was obtained by me through participating in this activity. Why do you ask this, senior?"
"I am an old acquaintance of the Pavilion Master of Jinyuan Pavilion. A few years ago, Pavilion Master Lin came to ask me to tell his fortune, and the object he used was the gilded precious leaf."
"So, Senior, you are looking for me, do you want to get this treasure back?"
"My friend, you have misunderstood. Spiritual weapons are of no use to me. The reason why I came to you is because of the contents of the two hexagrams."
When Su Qingwu first learned about the strange phenomenon revealed by the spiritual weapon, Xuanqing and Su Wen both mentioned related matters, but they did not know the specific situation.
Maybe... this mystery can be solved at Wuji Academy today.
Thinking of this, she continued to ask:
"What exactly does the hexagram contain? Could you please tell me?"
"Jinyuan Pavilion will face a disaster in the next ten years. To be precise, it will not only affect Jinyuan Pavilion, but will also affect a wide range of forces, both large and small."
"What disaster?"
"The secret of heaven is not yet clear, and cannot be explained."
"So what does this have to do with me?"
"Because you are a variable in that disaster."
Su Qingwu frowned when he heard this.
"I don't think I have the ability to affect the catastrophe. In addition, as far as I know, Tianji's divination of roots requires the consumption of life essence. Why did you agree to help the owner of Jinyuan Pavilion to divine roots?"
"Master Lin saved my life, but I have never repaid him. I once promised this old friend that if he ever needs help, I will do my best to help him solve it."
"That's right, so the reason why you invited me here today is..."
"I would like to ask you, Mr. Su, to make a promise. If Jin Yuan Pavilion is in danger of collapse in the future, I kindly ask you to help us once within your ability."
Su Qingwu said without hesitation: "Not to mention that I am not strong enough to help you, even if I could, I have no obligation to help Jinyuan Pavilion solve the crisis."
In the past, someone with ill intentions had targeted her in this pavilion, and a monk named Suo Liuqin in the pavilion suggested that she leave through the secret passage.
Due to some intuition, Su Qingwu refused at that time.
She had not received any favor from Jin Yuan Pavilion, so naturally there was no question of repaying them.
Zhao Gu laughed when he heard what she said.
"Of course, I can't let you help me without any compensation. If you agree, you can practice the Taoist techniques in the academy as long as you are capable. I won't charge you a penny and there is no time limit. However, you can't teach it to others."
"Excuse me, Senior, what is the specific level of the Taoist arts in this academy?"
"All four levels of Heaven, Earth, Black and Yellow exist."
Su Qingwu was surprised. Heaven-level and earth-level skills and magic basically did not exist in the Yuehua Small World, and this person actually said that they existed?
Zhao Gu saw that she was confused and added something.
"I have not lied to you, my friend. In principle, the four levels of Taoism, namely, Heaven, Earth, Mysterious and Yellow, are all available in Wuji Academy. However, whether you can obtain them depends entirely on your luck. Do you know the origin of Wuji Academy?"
Su Qingwu shook his head slowly, "I'd like to hear the details."
Zhao Gu said slowly, "Wuji means boundless and endless. The name comes from a treasure, the Wuji Golden Pearl. All the Taoist methods learned in the academy are derived from this treasure, and the Wuji Academy also got its name from this treasure. On the surface, although I am the dean of Wuji Academy, in fact, the one who truly controls this place is the spirit of the Wuji Golden Pearl."
