Chapter 26 Broken, not interested in gentleness

Everything has been fine since I entered the Heavenly Academy...

I thought it would be hard to make friends in a short period of time, but after I snatched a few of them, I became more familiar with them immediately...

Kuang Cheng became the top scholar and wanted me to be the headmaster. I have inquired about it. The headmaster did not accept his personal teachings, but he lived for more than 300 years. I may not be able to survive him...

That's all, live well, and I'll find time to go back.

After replying to Lao Qiu, Ji You left Bishui Lake Garden and reunited with Lu Qingqiu and others.

There were not only six people who came, among them were Ban Yangshu and another outer courtyard disciple named Ji Qirui, who was an old friend of Lu Qingqiu's family and also had some relationship with the head of Tianshuyuan.

He had never seen Ji You before, but he had heard of the noise he made in the outer courtyard, and his eyes were full of curiosity.

"Is this the one who read the Heavenly Book?"

"good."

Ban Yangshu nodded and stared at Ji You.

He heard the day before that Ji You did not take any pills or use any spirit stones, and had already condensed five rays of spiritual light so far, and he was quite impressed.

After entering the inner courtyard, I am still stuck in the upper realm of Tongxuan and cannot integrate into the Dao, but Ji You has such great perseverance that perhaps he can go further than me.

A person practicing privately in a rural area is really going against the will of heaven.

In just a few words, the group traveled with spiritual energy and arrived at Hongding Tower in the east city.

This building is quite famous in Beijing and claims to be the best building in the world. Only the descendants of immortals and royal family members are qualified to enter.

Among them, both the shopkeeper and the waiter are cultivators of the lower three realms. This level of cultivation may not be considered a big deal in Tianshu Academy, but it is quite good among the common people.

After a few people sat down, there were singing girls and dancing girls at the table, which was a pleasure to watch.

Bai Rulong and Qian Yunxiao were very excited, thinking to themselves, this is what their Tao hearts are clearest when they look at this thing!

Only Ji You, for some reason, had an image of a fragrant white jade foot kicking him in his mind, and he felt that the woman in front of him seemed a little vulgar.

Oh no, could it be that he has some extraordinary orientation? Ji You couldn't help but drink the wine in the glass, feeling a little excited.

Ban Yangshu had been observing him all this time and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

He had no distracting thoughts before he ascended to become an immortal and even disdained sex. No wonder he could sense the heavenly book.

Such a clear mind of Tao also shows that this boy is indeed extraordinary.

Afterwards, all the dishes were served and the banquet officially began. Lu Qingqiu was the host and he gave some very formal speeches.

Her family is in the spiritual mine business, and they want to make friends with people with extraordinary talents, especially someone like Ban Yangshu.

Although the Youzhou Ban family is also a noble family, it has actually been in decline for a long time. If Ban Yangshu does not make progress, he will have to leave the academy on his own. Even if he returns home, he will not achieve anything, so he will naturally choose to join other forces.

The upper realm of Tongxuan may not be a big deal in Tianshu Academy, but he is still a top master outside.

Lu Qingqiu's voice was very pleasant, soft and melodious, like a spring breeze on your face, making everyone at the table smile.

Only Ji You couldn't help but feel a little nervous after listening for a while.

Oh no, I don’t really like gentleness…

In addition to the polite words, Lu Qingqiu also asked something that Bai Rulong, Qian Yunxiao and others were very curious about, which was what the inner courtyard was like.

Speaking of this, Ban Yangshu's face showed a sense of pride.

"The inner courtyard is divided into five halls, namely, Freedom, Auspiciousness, Longevity, Undeadness, and Desirelessness. I belong to the Freedom Hall, and Brother Ji is the same as me."

"There are also teachers in the inner courtyard, and the methods are profound, but the direct disciples can be taught by the hall master himself."

"Currently, Zizai Hall and Jixiang Hall have been passed down personally, so they are relatively peaceful. However, the other three halls are constantly fighting for power, which is very similar to the outer courtyard."

"Last year, our junior fellow entered the inner courtyard and was quite ambitious. He chose the Hall of Eternal Life and threatened to get a place as a personal disciple. This year..."

Ban Yangshu looked at Ji You and thought that this year's inner courtyard spot might have to belong to him.

Ah, Junior Brother Ji is so focused and engaged when he is eating.

Ji Qirui was more concerned about another matter. He raised his glass to Ji You and said, "Junior Brother Ji, I have heard a lot about you in the inner courtyard. I heard that you not only comprehended the Heavenly Book, but also practiced both martial arts and Taoism?"

When rumors about Ji You spread in Tian Academy, two words were necessarily mentioned: private cultivation in the countryside and dual cultivation of martial arts.

This creates a contrast, proving that he is indeed extremely talented.

This is quite similar to the sentence structure of "Although he goes to the Internet cafe every day, he always gets the first place in the grade in the exams. Isn't that infuriating?"

Ji You raised his head upon hearing this and responded, "Yes, I know a little bit about boxing."

"But martial arts are only minor skills after all. You are so talented, why do you want to waste your time on this?"

“It’s a personal hobby.”

After hearing this, Ban Yangshu said, "In fact, most pure Taoists are in the north, but there are many people who practice both martial arts and Taoism in the south. The word "Jian" in Lingjian Mountain was changed because the previous headmaster was a sword fanatic."

Lu Qingqiu, Bai Rulong, Qian Yunxiao and others listened carefully and nodded continuously, but in fact they agreed more with Ji Qirui's idea in their hearts.

There are many small countries in the south and conflicts are frequent, so the practice of martial arts has been passed down for thousands of years.

But habits are habits, and no matter what, martial arts are of no help to spiritual practice.

Senior Brother Ban is well-known in the inner courtyard for his eloquence, and he always says something pleasing to hear.

As time passed, the dishes on the banquet gradually ran out, and the night outside the window became darker and darker.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The few people who were originally unfamiliar with each other were now chatting happily, and even Ji You would say a few words from time to time. During this time, Lu Qingqiu suggested inviting them to visit the Lu family in Yunzhou, and several people agreed.

This is the purpose of Lu Qingqiu's hosting.

If she couldn't enter the inner courtyard, she wouldn't stay in Tianshu Academy for long, but inviting some people back would always be a gain.

The drum on the city wall beat the third watch, and several people left the restaurant.

At this time, the sky outside was extremely dark. There was no one in the city, only some immortal cultivators who gathered spiritual energy to keep warm passed by the streets.

Shengjing is the center of the secular world. It is not uncommon for people from outside the seven major sects to wander in the city and not be bound by curfew.

However, when they reached Yong'an Gate, Ban Yangshu and Ji Qirui suddenly stopped and couldn't help but look around.

Then, Ji You also frowned and looked towards the darkness where there was no light.

For some reason, they just felt a malicious aura lingering nearby, but it quickly disappeared.

Lu Qingqiu only had two rays of mysterious light, so he was naturally not as good as Ji You in the matter of "understanding the mystery", and he did not notice anything.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, maybe..."

Just as Ji You was about to answer, he suddenly raised his hand without thinking and pushed away Lu Qingqiu who was standing in front of him.

Then his body quickly leaned back, and he retreated a foot as the air waves under his feet surged.

It was also at this moment that a pair of scarlet eyes were exposed in the darkness. The person who came was filled with evil spirit and his moves were as fast as lightning, with his five fingers hooked and grabbing.

Seeing the two of them dodge, the evil shadow suddenly jumped out and directly grabbed Bai Rulong and Qian Yunxiao.

"Evil seed?"

"How could an evil species appear in Shengjing?"

Ban Yangshu and Ji Qirui were horrified and immediately drew their swords, slashing the evil creature with loud sword sounds.

Just as they were about to chop the man down, they heard a muffled sound coming from the other side of the night. The two men subconsciously turned around and saw a white lightning flash coming towards them in an instant, with a sound like splitting a mountain.

"Rong Dao Realm?!"

"Retreat quickly, don't fight hard!"

Ban Yangshu pulled Ji Qirui back, and a charred mark instantly appeared on the ground. The stone bricks on the spot exploded into pieces with a "bang".

However, after this thunder method landed, the opponent did not stop, but gathered lightning in his palm again, stepped out of the violent wind and waves, and slapped forward horizontally.

Ban Yangshu and Ji Qirui rolled over to avoid the attack, then attacked with horizontal punches, their punches as fierce as thunder and lightning.

But the opponent was always at a higher level. He blocked it with his backhand, then attacked with his fist, which went across the shoulders of the two men and smashed down like a hammer.
