Chapter 283: Forbidden Land - Mahakala, a way to quickly improve your cultivation
"What do you think of the proposal for the practical branch, Brother Lu?"
Facing the sudden invitation from the Practical Branch, Lu Chen did not hesitate and replied, "I'll consider it."
After hearing this answer, Liang Zhao tactfully did not ask any further questions.
After all, Lu Chen is ostensibly a freshman at Lihuo Taoist Academy, but he is also a cultivator in the first stage of the Golden Core Stage.
And in the Immortal Alliance, those in the Jindan stage are already real strong ones.
What’s more, he is such a young Jindan stage cultivator.
Not to mention that he is just a small counselor, even the current dean of Lihuo Taoist Academy cannot force Lu Chen to do anything.
When the students around heard that Lu Chen was almost openly rejecting the invitation from the Practical Academy, they all looked at him with admiration and envy.
Although everyone has just enrolled, some of them have already reached the point where they can be invited by other branches to be guest teachers.
Some people can only sit here obediently and listen to the counselor tell them about the rules of this academy.
The feeling that she was special and one in a million collapsed after comparing herself with Lu Chen and the people around her.
It turns out that they are not special, they are just ordinary people among the vast number of people...
For a moment, the expressions of many people around became lonely.
As if noticing the change in people's mood, Liang Zhao immediately said with a smile: "Regarding Lu Dao... Mr. Lu's matter, students don't need to think too much about it."
"Because he is a rare sword genius in the history of the entire Immortal Alliance, not to mention in our Lihuo Dao Academy. There is no point in comparing with him."
"Besides, the road of cultivation is long and arduous. There are many examples in the history of our Immortal Alliance of people who have accumulated a lot of experience and achieved great success late in life."
"As long as you continue to practice hard, you may be able to reach the same level as Mr. Lu in the future."
After a bowl of chicken soup, many people in the classroom immediately became energetic.
Although they also knew that what Liang Zhao said was mostly meant to comfort them.
But no one can predict what will happen in the future, right? After Liang Zhao finished explaining these things, he asked the students to leave and have a good rest.
The official class time is the day after tomorrow.
You can get familiar with the environment of the Taoist temple in the next few days.
And think carefully about the direction you want to take in the future.
Lu Chen was left alone by Liang Zhao.
"Daoist Lu, the academy will not break its promise to you. However, the dean has been traveling in the forbidden area of Mahakala in the south recently and has not returned to the academy yet. Therefore, no one can open the academy's treasure, let alone take out the Four Realms Daoist Artifacts from it privately."
"So the Dao weapon I promised to give you may take some time. Sorry."
"It's okay. We can discuss this matter after the dean comes back. There's no rush."
Hearing this, Liang Zhao immediately felt relieved, and then asked enthusiastically: "Daoyou Lu, do you have any questions about the Taoist temple? Although my cultivation is not good, I know this outer courtyard very well. If you have any questions, I can answer them one by one."
Lu Chen thought for a moment, then looked at Liang Zhao's arm and said, "I have learned a lot about the Taoist Academy from my watch. I am not confused about anything. I am just very curious about Brother Liang's psychic arm. Can you tell me why you chose the path of a psychic cultivator?"
"If there really is no other way, most people probably wouldn't choose this unfamiliar road."
This seemed to bring back some memories for Liang Zhao. He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Daoist Lu is absolutely right. If there were no other choice, how many people would be willing to walk this unknown road with no clear path ahead?"
"Before you came here, Fellow Daoist Lu, you should have seen Nanli City where our Lihuo Daoyuan is located, right?"
Lu Chen nodded: "Of course I have seen it. It is indeed very different from the cities in Qingzhou where I live."
"Then fellow Daoist, you should know that what you saw is not actually the entire Nanli City. In other words, the part you saw is actually only the inner city of Nanli City."
"The Outer City outside the Inner City is where I grew up. It is also one of the places in Nanli City and even the entire Immortal Alliance where the battles are the most intense."
Lu Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Is it because of the forbidden land Mahakala?"
Liang Zhao was not surprised that Lu Chen could guess this.
Others may know little about the forbidden area, but Lu Chen is not only a Jindan-stage cultivator of the Immortal Alliance, but also a walking official of the Mountain and Sea Division.
It is reasonable for him to have access to matters related to the Immortal Alliance's forbidden area.
Liang Zhao looked out the window and said with emotion: "Some things have happened but the timing is not right, so I didn't tell you just now."
"But if it was Fellow Daoist Lu, he would actually be able to know some things in advance."
"Fellow Daoist Lu, do you know why we have four academies instead of five?"
"And why are the locations of these four academies so polar opposite to each other and happen to be located in the four directions of the Immortal Alliance, namely, the east, south, west, and north?"
Lu Chen recalled the information he had read about the four major Taoist academies, and after some brief thought, he almost had an answer.
"I think this is because the four academies are not only the places where the Immortal Alliance trains young monks, but also the gateways for the Immortal Alliance to defend against forbidden areas and foreign races."
"Yes." Liang Zhao looked at Lu Chen and said with a complicated expression: "The outside world only knows that behind the four major academies, there is an Immortal Alliance Holy Land as support, so they can be so detached from the world."
"But what they don't know is that the status of the four major academies has never been simply built up with resources."
"It is the result of countless Taoist students killing each other bit by bit with their flesh and blood."
"Fellow Daoist Lu, do you know that if the students of these four academies want to graduate successfully, they all need to serve for a period of time outside the forbidden areas of their respective academies."
"Although the Immortal Alliance will not let freshly graduated students participate in fierce and dangerous battles, fighting with the alien races in the forbidden area is not a game, and the Immortal Alliance cannot guarantee that it can protect the safety of students."
"So every year, some students in their fourth and third years die in the Immortal Alliance's base outside the forbidden area."
"So, the students of these four academies seem to be in a good position and enjoy the best training resources in the entire Immortal Alliance."
"But while they enjoy top-notch resources, they also endure risks that other people their age can't imagine. There is always a price to pay for every gain."
"As for what you are curious about, Fellow Daoist Lu, it has something to do with my service in the outer city."
"Due to some special reasons, several of my classmates have died."
"Although I survived by chance, I also completely lost my right arm."
"Although the Immortal Alliance has many methods to allow people to regenerate severed fingers, those methods were not suitable for me at that time."
"I had no choice but to choose the path of a psychic monk."
"But now that I think about it, this path is quite suitable for me. After all, I don't have much talent in fighting, and all I know is alchemy."
"With the help of this psychic arm, I can make pills with half the effort."
After hearing this, Lu Chen almost understood the whole story.
I also understood why Liang Zhao transplanted a psychic arm.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen asked, "I wonder if I can take a course related to psychic technology in the first semester?"
Liang Zhao was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: "Fellow Daoist Lu, are you interested in this psychic technology?"
“I am indeed interested.”
If someone else said this, Liang Zhao would definitely not stop them.
But the one who said this was the peerless swordsman who had not appeared in the Immortal Alliance for thousands of years.
If Lu Chen delayed his normal practice because of this.
Then Liang Zhao would most likely become a sinner in the history of the Immortal Alliance.
"Friend Lu, although there are some things that should not come out of my mouth, I still want to advise you."
"This psychic technology is not perfect at present, and most people who study it have their own difficulties."
"With your own talent and qualifications, as long as you continue to practice step by step, you will definitely have a good chance of becoming an immortal in the future. There is no need to spend your time on this."
Facing Liang Zhao's good intentions, Lu Chen responded tactfully: "I am naturally aware of what Director Liang said. I will not focus on this. I am just excited to see the opportunity."
There was nothing false in Lu Chen's words, he just had some reservations.
After all, the most important reason why Lu Chen wanted to dabble in psychic technology was that he felt that this unique power system might be usable in the ancient world.
It can help him better complete the mission of exploring the ancient world.
After hearing that Lu Chen was just excited about the opportunity and would not spend too much time on psychic technology.
Liang Zhao directly used his authority to send the course schedule related to psychic technology to Lu Chen's watch.
And told him that given his situation, even if he did not choose the psionic technology course, he could still attend it as an auditor.
After knowing this, Lu Chen said goodbye to Liang Zhao and walked towards the cave area in the outer courtyard.
Originally, it was difficult for freshmen to apply for their own cave residence during their freshman year due to credit issues.
But Lu Chen doesn't have such trouble.
After spending a certain amount of points, Lu Chen moved directly into his own cave.
Different from the ancient caves of Qingyun Sect, the caves of Lihuo Taoist Temple appear very modern.
Not only are there all kinds of furniture inside, but there is also a spiritual tree that can be used to increase the concentration of spiritual energy in the cave.
After Lu Chen saw the spiritual tree in the cave, a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling surged in his heart.
Because no matter how you look at it, the spiritual tree in front of you is very similar to the Qingyun Apricot Tree in Qingyun Sect.
If it weren't for the very modern layout here, Lu Chen would even suspect that he had come to Qingyun Sect instead of Lihuo Taoist Temple.
I just thought about what I knew about the predecessor of Wanye Xianmen behind Lihuo Taoist Temple.
It is not surprising that a green apricot tree appears in this cave now.
After all, the first group of people who established the Wanye Immortal Sect were cultivators from the lineage of Linghuo Taoist from Danyang Peak.
Lu Chen walked to the Qingyun apricot tree in the cave and whispered, "They can let a good man like Master leave the sect, and they are willing to remove all traces of his lineage in the sect."
"I think there must be some secret that I don't know."
"I just don't know what role I play in this."
In fact, Lu Chen had made a guess a long time ago.
That is what he did in the game, which was actually changing the history of Qingyun Sect.
Let's move forward in the 'correct' historical direction.
Due to lack of evidence, Lu Chen has been unable to verify this speculation.
Unless he can find traces of his presence in the game in reality.
Only in this way can the doubts in his heart be truly proven.
But it is not easy to achieve this step.
At least Lu Chen hasn't found a suitable solution yet.
After all, he doesn't even know the specific locations between the game world and the real world.
Not to mention letting him use this to verify the connection between the two worlds.
But just because it’s difficult doesn’t mean it can’t be done.
Lu Chen still had some ideas for verification in his mind.
For example, the immortal he met in the Great Yan Dynasty... Ji Ling'er.
Judging from the strength that the opponent had previously demonstrated in the special copy.
Perhaps she may have lived from ancient times to the present.
If I could find her in the real world, or find out some news about her.
Through her, we can verify the relationship between the two worlds.
For example, let her leave certain specific words for future generations.
It’s just that Lu Chen is not planning to do these things for the time being.
After all, his most urgent task right now is to find a way to control the 'Nine Realms Order' and use it to open the Nine Realms Gate that can lead to the ancient world.
In addition, the goal is to improve one's cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage as quickly as possible.
If he wants to improve his cultivation as quickly as possible, the best way is undoubtedly to use experience points to improve it.
However, as his cultivation level increased, the experience points required for improvement became more and more exaggerated.
It was so exaggerated that Lu Chen was reluctant to use experience points to simply improve his cultivation.
If you remove the experience points, there are only two ways for Lu Chen to improve.
One is normal practice, and the other... is taking pills.
The latter is also the fundamental reason why Lu Chen is willing to apply for Lihuo Taoist Academy.
"Lihuo Daoyuan is backed by Wanye Xianmen, and Wanye Xianmen was born out of Danyang Peak."
"No matter how you look at it, Wanye Xianmen can be seen as the continuation of Danyang Peak."
"The path of alchemy is different. It requires constant trial and error."
"After tens of thousands of years of accumulation, there must be a lot of improved elixirs in Wanye Xianmen today."
"As long as I select those elixirs that can greatly improve my cultivation, relying on the resources of the two worlds, I should be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage before graduation, or even sooner."
"And at this point, I don't have to worry too much."
"After all, by the time I reach the Nascent Soul stage, I should have the strength to rival that of an ordinary Divine Transformation cultivator."
"With such strength, he is truly a strong man, not to mention in the real world, even in Zhongzhou in the game."
After that, Lu Chen used his authority to check the pills of Lihuo Daoyuan in his watch...
