After a while, Lin Hao and his friends reached the top of the mountain.

Due to the barrier of protective light curtain, it is impossible to enter the core campus.

Fortunately, the law enforcement team responsible for guarding seemed to have received instructions from the Lord of the Mansion.

When they saw Lin Hao and Raymond coming, they didn't ask too many questions and directly opened the light curtain entrance.

Since he had been here before, Lin Hao did not need the law enforcement team to lead the way this time, and took Raymond to the main hall.

…

At this time, in the hall, besides the Palace Master Ying Yuanzi, there was also an old man in a gray robe.

That person was undoubtedly the blind swordsman, Mo Lao.

“Here they come.”

Mr. Mo raised his head slightly and said in a hoarse voice.

His pair of gray pupils looked towards the palace gate. Although he could not see anything, he was covered by his mental power.

Any movement of the wind and grass in this area was reflected in his mind.

"Greetings to the Lord of the Mansion, Senior Mo."

When they came closer, Lin Hao and Raymond both performed the salute as fellow students at the same time.

"I already know what happened in the Imperial City today."

Ying Yuanzi looked calm as he looked at Lin Hao and the others and said, "You two are really bold."

Although he said this, there was no trace of blame in his tone.

"There's nothing we can do. We were forced to do this."

Lin Hao pursed his lips slightly and pretended to define them as a vulnerable group.

"Good boy, you can be forced."

Ying Yuanzi turned his gaze to Lin Hao and smiled meaningfully.

Immediately, his smile faded, and he said sternly: "No matter what the process is, as long as you are still students of Tianyan Academy, I will never let any external forces hurt you in the slightest."

"Of course, the premise is that you are in Tianyan Academy. If you are outside, it will all depend on your own luck."

Hearing this, Raymond was immediately delighted.

Who would have thought that the Lord of the Mansion would support them so much? It seems that it was right to follow the boss this time!

Little did people know that because of the Yang Chengji incident two years ago, Ying Yuanzi is still resentful towards the royal family of the Great Yan Dynasty.

"Thank you, Lord Palace Master. We will definitely behave ourselves and not cause any trouble in the future."

Immediately, Raymond bowed and thanked him.

"Me too."

Lin Hao also nodded, with such an obedient expression, just like a model student.

Little did he know that he had actually already been planning in his mind how to travel to the Territory of Chaos in a few days.

"Of course, you also have to make some contributions to Tianyan Academy."

Master Ying Yuan smiled and put forward his request.

Lin Hao, Raymond and the others all looked slightly stunned.

It’s not that simple after all.

"Master, what contribution do you want us to make? As long as we can do it, we will do our best."

In response, Lin Hao asked tentatively.

"Don't worry, it's not as complicated as you think."

Ying Yuanzi stroked his beard with his hand and said with a smile: "Half a year later, it will be the Hundred Colleges Competition of the Cangqiong Continent."

"My request is simple, I want to get a top 20 ranking."

When he heard Ying Yuanzi's request, Raymond couldn't help but show a hint of excitement on his face, and he patted his chest to make the promise.

However, Lin Hao's thoughts suddenly became complicated.

The last time, he just explored an ancient tomb and it took him two years.

This time he planned to go to the Territory of Chaos, but he didn't know how long it would take.

Therefore, he could not make any guarantees during the next six months.

"Lin Hao, you don't want to?"

Seeing that Lin Hao remained silent, Ying Yuanzi's eyes darkened and he asked.

"no."

Lin Hao shook his head and said, "I plan to go out for training in a few days, and I don't know if I can come back in time for the competition."

"I see."

Ying Yuanzi nodded suddenly, and then looked at Lin Hao in surprise.

At this critical moment, this kid actually dared to run away. Isn't he afraid of being assassinated by the assassins from Mingge?

"Lin Hao, the martial arts resources of the academy are quite abundant. As long as you are willing, any training place is available for you to practice for free."

Ying Yuanzi advised and did not want Lin Hao to take risks outside.

After all, in this Hundred Colleges Competition, Lin Hao is his trump card, a trump card that can make Tianyan Academy proud!

If anything happened to Lin Hao, it would be a huge loss for Tianyan Academy.

Hearing this, Lin Hao fell silent, with some hesitation in his eyes.

"The path of martial arts cultivation is full of countless unknown dangers. If you are afraid of this and that, it will be difficult to make any major progress."

At this time, Mr. Mo next to him suddenly spoke.

His words immediately made Ying Yuanzi's face slightly stunned, and finally he stopped stopping Lin Hao.

"Well, the venue for the Hundred Colleges Competition is set in Wuwang City. If you can't make it in time, you can go there directly to participate."

"good."

Lin Hao nodded seriously, then turned his gaze to Mr. Mo.

Obviously, he didn't expect that this blind swordsman would speak for him.

After all, in today's coup, both sides are in hostile camps.

"Lin Hao, I'm sorry for damaging your four puppet beasts today."

Mr. Mo looked apologetic.

Lin Hao was quite surprised at the Blind Sword Master's sudden apology.

"It's okay. I know that Senior Mo didn't want to do this."

Lin Hao could only pretend to smile.

Faced with a strong man of this level, he couldn't do anything to him.

"I have a Holy Spirit Pill here, consider it as compensation for you."

As he spoke, a pill appeared in Mo Lao's skinny palm.

But I saw that the pill was about the size of a thumb, emerald green all over, and the color was extremely pure.

On it, one can even see faint spiritual patterns, and a strong spiritual fragrance is in the air.

Lin Hao's eyes narrowed slightly. Just by looking at it with the naked eye, he could tell that this pill was not an ordinary item.

"Holy Spirit Pill? A spiritual pill that can only be condensed by a Saint Realm expert?"

Seeing this, Raymond's eyes lit up and he said in surprise.

"Yes."

Ying Yuanzi replied.

Looking at the Holy Spirit Pill in Mu Mo Lao's hand, he looked at Lin Hao with envy.

I never thought that the teacher had been living in seclusion in Tianyan Academy for so many years and still kept such top-quality pills on him.

The so-called Holy Spirit Pill is not made from natural treasures.

It is a top-grade elixir that a strong person in the Saint Realm can refine day after day by gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and combining it with his own powerful spiritual power.

For martial artists below the Saint Realm, it is undoubtedly a treasure that accelerates their cultivation.

However, the Holy Spirit Pill is extremely difficult to condense, and even a strong person in the Holy Domain Realm cannot achieve a 100% success rate.

It is for this reason that the Holy Spirit Pill is extremely valuable, and even out of stock.

At least with all of Ying Yuanzi's current assets, he probably wouldn't be able to buy even half a pill.

Of course, Ying Yuanzi's current cultivation level has already surpassed the ninth level and reached the realm of half-step sainthood.

Although it might help one's own cultivation a little after absorbing and refining, the effect is not that strong.

"It would have been great if my teacher had given me this Holy Spirit Pill when I was at the ninth level."

In response to this, Ying Yuanzi couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

At least he wouldn't have to be stuck in the awkward state of Half-Step Sainthood like he is now.
