Chapter 140: San value drops rapidly and charges
The students were disappointed. Getting something for free was the ultimate happiness for human beings, but Yuanshi Tianzun took away their happiness.
"Important intelligence needs to be purchased, and important knowledge needs to be paid for. This is very reasonable." The old dean smiled, "Everyone, no matter how much money you spend outside, you may not be able to find out the information about the unsolved mystery."
The annual salary of a deacon is generally over one million. By doing a side job, making some extra money, or selling materials, it is not difficult to earn an annual salary of tens of millions.
Therefore, a tuition fee of one million is affordable for everyone.
After obtaining the consent of all the students, the old dean immediately took out a pen and paper, wrote down a document, and wrote an IOU.
The knowledge-hungry old man put on the pen cap and was the first to press his fingerprint.
The document was then handed over to the class monitor, who passed it on to all the students for their fingerprints to be taken.
Soon, the note was filled with fingerprints and handed to Zhang Yuanqing.
With 22 million in hand, he suddenly felt more financially secure... Zhang Yuanqing stared at the document, feeling good.
Ever since he refined the magic weapon in the Wanshiwu, the useless props in his hands were almost cleared out. Without selling props and materials, Zhang Yuanqing found that money was really damn hard to make.
This also explains why most spiritual realm travelers, especially wild travelers, are generally short of money. Unless they are almost starving to death, very few people will choose to sell props.
In comparison, scholars and musicians are the easiest to make money.
The former has the skills and knowledge to take private jobs, while the latter can make a lot of money by singing for a living. On the contrary, some professions that are good at fighting lack the means of income due to the constraints of moral values.
Satisfied, he folded the receipt and put it in his pocket.
"Okay, thank you all for your support." Zhang Yuanqing left his seat, walked up to the podium, and glanced at Dean Li Yanqi.
The gray-haired old dean was stunned for a moment, then stood up and stood aside silently.
Zhang Yuanqing took his seat and looked at the students with eager eyes. He said:
"According to the analysis of overseas spiritual realm scholars, the third region corresponds to Norse mythology. There are two bases to verify this statement. First, overseas spiritual realm practitioners have collected a small number of professional props that do not belong to the first and second regions.
“After interpreting the properties of the items, I found that they correspond to certain gods in Norse mythology.
“Second, the ending of Norse mythology: Ragnarok.
"In the description of Ragnarok, all the gods died because of killing each other, and the mythology entered a great extinction, waiting for the start of the next reincarnation. The third area is waiting to be opened."
It turns out that the third largest area is Norse mythology. Since there are item attributes to support this statement, it must not be wrong... Xiahou Aotian and others nodded repeatedly.
"That's too far-fetched!" Zhao Fei suddenly asked, attracting the attention of all the students. He said:
"The third area may correspond to Norse mythology, but what makes you say that the reason it has not been opened is Ragnarok? Whether Ragnarok really happened remains to be confirmed."
Hearing this, all the students fell into deep thought and looked at the dean, wanting to hear his opinion.
Li Yanqi did not express his opinion, as if waiting for Yuanshi Tianzun to continue.
"Ragnarok really happened, because there are similar disasters in myths and legends all over the world. It is not unique to Norse mythology."
Facing the doubts, Zhang Yuanqing said calmly:
"We all know that myths and legends are another history of spiritual travelers. Have you ever thought about why there are records of the destruction of the world in all major myths? Is it a coincidence?"
Zhao Feiwen frowned. As a scholar, he agreed with Yuanshi Tianzun's speculation.
"What's the reason for the depletion of spiritual energy?" The fairy from Niulanshan raised her hand excitedly and asked.
"What is the ending of Ragnarok?" Zhang Yuanqing asked back.
"The gods have disappeared, and the third district has been closed ever since." Sun Miaomiao answered quickly.
"Is it possible that the reason for the decline of spiritual power is caused by a catastrophe?" Zhang Yuanqing said:
“After the catastrophe, all the ancient practitioners died or were injured, and civilization was broken, leaving only some myths passed down by word of mouth. Countless years later, new practitioners emerged, which we call the ancient practitioners.
"But because the disaster caused some irreversible effects, the spiritual power gradually weakened until the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the practitioners withdrew from the stage of history."
The students enjoyed the lecture very much.
"It makes sense logically. What's the basis for your theory?" As a user who has spent money, Tianxia Guihuo actively defended his rights and raised questions.
Although Yuanshi Tianzun’s analysis is brilliant, even when he is telling a story, it is still eye-opening.
"The exhaustion of spiritual power stems from a great disaster in ancient times. This is a very interesting entry point, but unfortunately it contains too much speculation and cannot be written into a paper." Xiahou Aotian shook his head regretfully.
Zhang Yuanqing said in a deep voice:
"I can only prove that disasters do happen, and that they will happen again."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the students present suddenly changed, and even the old dean showed a look of astonishment and heaviness.
"Nonsense!" Zhu Mingxu shouted, "You mean there will be a disaster like the Ragnarok in mythology in the future? That's just sensationalism.
No one believed Yuanshi Tianzun and thought his speech was absurd and boring and was meant to scare them.
Only Xiahou Aotian had a flash of thought: This is the protagonist's chance to save the world
Dean Li Yanqi pondered and said:
"Yuanshi Tianzun, why do you think so?"
Zhang Yuanqing said in a clear voice: "More than 20 years ago, a major event occurred. The mysterious treasure, the Compass of Light, appeared in the world. The compass predicted that in the near future, a terrible disaster would come again.
"When the prophecy came out, it caused a sensation among the top leaders of major organizations. Demigod-level masters from all over the world participated in the fight for the compass. The first marshal of the White Tiger Army died in that battle. Ordinary students may not know about this, but those who came from spiritual realm families should have heard about it from their elders."
Liu Yushu, Zhao Feiwen, Zhu Mingxu and others looked at each other with strange expressions.
Yes, they had heard of it.
But I only know that this happened, and I don’t know the content of the prophecy of the Compass of Light.
Even their elders did not know the content of the prophecy, except for the ancestors of each family.
When the students saw the expressions of the young masters from aristocratic families, they knew what was going on.
"What does the compass predict?" Liu Yushu asked in a deep voice.
Everyone below perked up instantly.
Zhang Yuanqing snorted, "This is not a matter of one million. If you want to know, come to me when the copy is out. I will sell it to you for five hundred million."
Why don’t you go and rob it?” Liu Yushu said angrily.
Zhang Yuanqing ignored his complaints and concluded:
"To sum up, I think the reason for the spiritual power exhaustion is the terrible world-destroying disaster, and the reason for the closure of the third area is also the same. At least I don't know when it will be opened.
"The last unsolved mystery is the birth of the Spirit Realm. I'm sorry, I don't know, but I can provide some ideas. One: The creation of a copy is not unique to the Spirit Realm. Demigod-level Spirit Realm practitioners can also do it.
"Second: Ancient practitioners are not bound by the spiritual realm. However, they are a group that grew up after the great disaster. Throwing aside the inertial thinking, is there a possibility that the existence of ancient practitioners is not in line with common sense. Practitioners in the spiritual realm are the norm.
"According to the prophecy of the Compass of Light, great disasters seem to be recurring, and they occur once every long time. According to this logic, let's make a bold assumption that after the disaster, the spiritual realm stopped functioning and fell into hibernation, which is why ancient practitioners appeared."
At this point, he stood up and said, "I have said everything I want to say, for your reference only."
There was silence in the classroom, and everyone was lost in long thought.
Since Brother Red Chicken reached an agreement with the chef through force, the lunch canteen only provides one kind of food: Moonlight Fish Porridge.
Although the dishes were simple, the porridge was good and Zhang Yuanqing ate three big bowls.
The first class in the afternoon was at two o'clock. Brother Hongji invited the students to play cards in the library, while the girls submitted an application to the college to go to Lingzhi Island for an outing.
——The Peony Fairy and the Niulanshan Fairy took the lead.
Zhao Chenghuang also submitted an application to land on the island to the "Star Observer" teacher. Of course, the island he chose was not Lingzhi Island, but Jixin Island.
While drinking porridge, Zhao Chenghuang took the initiative to find Zhang Yuanqing and said:
"I bought a private lesson this afternoon and went to Chicken Heart Island to absorb the power of the sun. I will be accompanied by a star observer. Are you interested in joining me?"
Zhang Yuanqing agreed.
He really needs to ask the senior saints for advice on the fighting techniques of the star officials, and he will have to buy private lessons sooner or later. In addition, Zhao Chenghuang seems to be majoring in the power of the moon.
So far, he doesn't know how to major in the Moon, Stars, and Sun.
A step-by-step upgrade would definitely not work. Zhang Yuanqing guessed that special means were needed, and he could ask Zhao Chenghuang and the "Star Observer" for help.
Everyone took a cruise to revisit the Mermaid Lake. Zhang Yuanqing felt the cool breeze blowing towards him, recalling what he had learned in class, and a question arose in his mind.
Isn't the Queen Wa's Embrace a tool to stop the Palace Master from being killed?
According to the dean, the item was dug out from the Qinfeng College copy by the Grand Elder of the Baihua Society. How could it have fallen into the hands of Fengpi?
This is not the most important thing. Since the Palace Master of Zhisha has the Embrace of Queen Nuwa, how could she not know Queen Nuwa?
Last time I asked her why she kept it secret
"She knew about the existence of Queen Wa, so she said that night that the things in Takamagahara might change her fate... I will teach this stinky woman a lesson when I leave the dungeon..."
Hang him up and beat him! Zhang Yuanqing is here
I swore silently in my heart.
"What you said in class is very interesting." Zhao Chenghuang said.
In fact, the only thing that is really nutritious is the prophecy of the Compass of Light. The rest are just speculations and are no different from the argument that aliens created the spiritual realm... Zhang Yuanqing said seriously:
“As long as I can pass on knowledge to everyone, I will be satisfied.”
Zhao Chenghuang looked at him silently.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.
If you truly share, you won’t ask for money. How shameless… Zhao Chenghuang said calmly, “Nothing.”
Soon, Jixindi Island arrived, and Zhang Yuanqing and Zhao Chenghuang, the star observers, jumped to the shore.
Behind him were the sweet and pleasant voices of the official female saints:
"Goodbye, Master Tianzun!!"
Zhang Yuanqing did not hesitate, turned around and blew them a kiss: "See you later, my beloved concubines." This caused a burst of sweet laughter like silver bells.
Watching the cruise ship move away, the mysterious middle-aged man jokingly said:
"The last person who was so popular with women was the playboy Lingjun."
Zhang Yuanqing said with a serious expression: "It is my master!"
The star observer was stunned, his expression suddenly turned cold, and he said:
"By the way, I am also from the Taiyi Sect, and Lingjun has dated my sister."
Zhang Yuanqing was furious, tore off a corner of his T-shirt, and shouted:
"Lingjun is so cruel and crazy, I will sever my ties with him right now."
The star observer smiled and said, "You are very humorous."
Zhao Chenghuang had a cold expression and said nothing.
The three of them walked forward, entered the gloomy woods, and sat cross-legged under a locust tree that was home to a vengeful spirit.
The ticket seller on the tree is trembling
After Zhao Chenghuang sat cross-legged, he immediately closed his eyes and regulated his breathing. The star observer said:
"I am mainly responsible for watching him and preventing him from absorbing too much Taiyin power. In addition to the cost of going to the island, the City God also bought an extra private lesson for me to teach you some skills and knowledge of the Star Official."
This is equivalent to Zhao Chenghuang treating guests.
This guy looks cold and aloof, but he actually knows how to be grateful. He knows that he owes me a huge favor in the killing dungeon, so he will pay me back when he gets the chance... Zhang Yuanqing said:
"Star officials tend to be supportive, right?"
The Star Observer pondered for a moment, "I can only say that the Star Officers' fighting style is not straightforward. Let's talk about the Star Escape Technique first. Most Star Officers will prepare two items for themselves, one for close combat and one for long-range attack. They are used in conjunction with Night Travel and Star Escape Technique respectively."
"If you encounter someone who is good at close combat, such as a fire master, swordsman, or bewitching demon, use the Star Escape Technique to pull them away and consume their energy. If you encounter someone who is not good at close combat, such as a water ghost, musician, or illusionist, use the Night Walk Technique to attack.
"Our Night Wanderer profession is a hexagonal warrior. We are not strong in close combat compared to professions like swordsman."
Zhang Yuanqing frowned: "But the Star Escape Technique consumes a lot of spiritual energy."
The simple explanation is that the blue bar is not enough.
The star observer smiled and said:
"As long as you focus on the power of the stars, it won't be a problem. You are now a saint, it's time to choose a path. We will talk about this later. Let's talk about the techniques of using astrology first.
"Although astrology is an auxiliary skill, it is very useful. How far have you developed astrology?
Zhang Yuanqing thought about it and shared the experience he gained from the battle in Wanbao House.
"You use the face of the target to verify your plan... Not bad, not bad. You are very talented. You have mastered the correct use of astrology after becoming a star official for more than a month. It was only after the teachings of the seniors of Taiyi Sect that I knew that astrology could be used in this way."
The middle-aged teacher looked at Yuanshi Tianzun carefully, as if he saw a piece of top-grade uncut jade, and praised his talent highly.
Zhao Chenghuang's brows were quietly solemn.
"At your current level, the development of astrology is the ultimate. When you reach level five, the feedback from your face will be clearer. For example, you will be able to see the scene of your own death in a bloody disaster. At the same time, you will learn the art of stargazing." said the star observer.
"Next, I will explain the characteristics of this stage of the star official."
This is the same function as the Eight-foot Mirror, which can predict death and other scenes in advance. The profession of star official is very suitable for hiding behind the scenes and making some conspiracies and tricks... Zhang Yuanqing listened patiently.
"Because of astrology and stargazing, star officials are terrible chess players. They can see the direction of the universe through stargazing and make plans in advance. For example, because of my sister, I want to kill Lingjun, but Lingjun is the son of the sect master, so I can't do it.
"So I observed the sky at night and found that he would attend a banquet and have a romantic affair one day in the future. Well, isn't he in Songhai? So I started looking for evil professions in Songhai, passing information to him, or more obscurely guiding him to sneak into the banquet and kill people. Of course, there are a lot of subtle manipulations involved. For example, the evil profession I am looking for must have a grudge against Lingjun, or be ferocious and leave no one alive... Hey, Yuanshi Tianzun, you don't look very well."
"No, it's okay..." Zhang Yuanqing's face turned pale, and a thousand horses were galloping in his heart.
He thought of Master Chunyang.
The star observer continued, "For example, if you discover through astrology that your life will be in danger in the near future, the stars will give you a vague hint of where the danger comes from and what it is.
"At this time, you have to start planning, who the enemy is, what the danger is, what means and helpers can effectively contain the enemy, plan step by step, and finally survive successfully... Hey, Yuanshi Tianzun, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine..."
"No, your face turned pale." Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath and said, "Teacher, how can we fight against the power of Xingguan?"
"Unless you know all of the other party's plans, there is no way. But we are star officials, and our star-gazing skills counteract each other. It depends on who is more powerful. Then you should focus on the power of the moon. When you reach the dominating stage, you will be able to restrain the star officials." The star observer explained the knowledge carefully:
"The moon symbolizes secrecy. Just look at the skill 'Night Walk' and you'll know that the power of the moon can conceal the deductions of the star officials."
Zhang Yuanqing's mind was in a mess, and a doubt that had been buried came to his mind again.
Is the Demon King really dead?
The Demon Lord is a half-step supreme being. Even if he does not major in the power of the stars, his attainments in stargazing are extraordinary.
He left behind so many things: character cards, a black full moon, a digital watch without a strap, and treasure maps given to his confidantes... Is he really dead?
Is Dad Zhang Zizhen really dead?
The level of the Fiery Sun Twins may not have reached that of demigods, but at least they are peak overlords. Their father is also a Night Wandering God, and we don’t know what his major is, but he also has a backup plan.
Judging from the current clues, he had been planning and scheming for several years after the battle for the Compass of Light ended. His cause of death was unreasonable, and his funeral was handled very simply... Is he really dead?
Is it really a coincidence that the head of Chunyang sneaked into the banquet?
As soon as he entered Qinfeng College, the Chizuru Group sent Asano Ryo for help, and the connection between Takamahara and Qinfeng College surfaced. This is also a coincidence.
Also, the leader of the Dark Night Rose is also a Night Wanderer, a very high level one. We were able to easily snatch such an important treasure as the Little Sun.
Did we really get the upper hand?
The person who disguised himself as the Demon Lord knew Hei Wuchang and knew everything that happened here. He was a perfect match for the chess player. Who was he?
I can’t think any further, I can’t think any further, my sanity value is dropping rapidly… Zhang Yuanqing’s mind is in a mess.
