Chapter 85 Lingjian Mountain is really nothing
When Ji You came down from the Director's Office, the Danzong siblings who followed them into the courtyard had already been invited over by Palace Master Fei of the Inner Courtyard.
At this moment, Danzong Elder Dan Qiongzi was also in his Buchen Palace, drinking tea and waiting.
Back then, one Yuan Caiwei was lost on the way to protect the elixir, and now two have been rescued by Ji You. Naturally, the two sects have to talk over it.
But the so-called thanks is just a by-product.
What they really wanted to talk about was the raging fire in the ruins.
The lower-level cultivators may not understand it for a while, but the big shots who hold the power of the Immortal Sect probably know clearly in their hearts that the demon used the secret alchemy technique of the Alchemy Sect when he ascended to heaven.
In the world of Qingyun, matters involving immortal cultivators are big events.
When it comes to ascension, it is a huge matter.
This is why Danzong decided to send a highly respected elder to come in person.
On the one hand, Danzong also wanted to understand the whole matter through Yuan Caiwei, and on the other hand, it also wanted to inform other immortal sects through Tianshuyuan that this matter had nothing to do with them.
Among the seven major immortal sects today, only the Dan Sect was not included in the ruins because it was not good at killing, and thus did not suffer too much damage. The other six major sects all suffered some damage.
Everyone's anger must find an outlet.
It is said that because many people died, Shanhai Pavilion was angry and held accountable several families in the area who had participated in the search for immortality.
The Chen family was in a state of despair because their leader was seriously injured, and they have been strictly examining the identities of all their disciples in recent days.
All those whose identities are questionable will either be expelled from the mountain gate or tortured.
Their sect's rule is that new disciples must change their surnames and acknowledge their ancestors. This was originally intended to strengthen their control over disciples, but it also paralyzed them and caused them to start not being able to distinguish between true clan members and false ones.
Thus, during this period of great turmoil, suspicion gradually began to arise between the Immortal Sect and the aristocratic families.
From the perspective of the Immortal Sect, the Zheng family may be just an isolated case, but perhaps not.
From the perspective of the aristocratic families, the immortal sects in prosperous times may be something to rely on, but in troubled times, the immortal sects are actually no different from hungry wolves.
But over the past thousands of years, these behemoths have already infiltrated each other, and it is extremely difficult to deal with them.
The key is the ruins. The ancestor of the Zheng family used the karmic fire to refine the immortal cultivators and let them ascend. Is this really the complete plan?
The various sects have very different views on this matter.
Because the content of the conversation involved the secrets of multiple religious families, outer court disciples like Ji You were naturally unable to participate, even though he was the protagonist in the fight to save "the direct disciple of the Dan Sect and the daughter of the headmaster."
At this time, he had already come to the teaching courtyard with Cao Jinsong, and behind him were Pei Ruyi, Ban Yangshu, Wen Zhengxin, Bai Rulong, and Zhuo Wanqiu who had changed into casual clothes.
Cao Jinsong made tea for the six people and said, "Did Lingjian Mountain and Wendao Sect really attack you just for the spirit stones?"
Lao Cao is different from the big shots. The world is too big for him to care about everything. He only cares about why his disciples were bullied.
"In Qiling, the evil spirit is extremely strong. Cultivators cannot replenish their spiritual energy through breathing. Spirit stones are the key. It just so happens that Senior Sister Pei brought a lot of spirit stones."
Pei Ruyi heard Wen Zhengxin's explanation and said, "I had anticipated the risks when I went there, and I also informed Zhengxin, so I exchanged all my property for spirit stones."
"I see……"
Cao Jinsong held the teacup and thought for a moment, then suddenly slammed the table in excitement: "Lingjian Mountain is really a piece of shit!"
Zhuo Wanqiu was about to punch him immediately, but was gently stopped by Ji You.
Cao Jinsong looked at their actions with a slightly surprised look in his eyes: "Bringing back another fiancée?"
Ji You: “?”
Bai Rulong was so excited that he almost had tears in his eyes. He thought to himself that Instructor Cao was really a close friend of Emperor Rulong! However, I just don't know if Instructor Cao's money bag is iron-clad!
Ji You actually had the same idea as the Immortal Emperor Rulong this time, and thought to himself, when the emotion in my heart is completely consumed, I will make you, old Deng, experience what it means to have a clear mind.
The others had strange looks on their faces, thinking: You said the people of Lingjian Mountain were good-for-nothings in front of the disciples of Lingjian Mountain, so you'd have to have this kind of reaction.
Ban Yangshu thought for a moment and then said, "Actually, this incident is not a conflict between the three sects. It's just some scoundrels causing trouble."
Wen Zhengxin couldn't help but nodded: "The disciples of Lingjian Mountain actually helped us in the end."
Cao Jinsong waved his hand after hearing this: "You have no say on right and wrong, so this matter is not closed."
"What do you mean?"
"The matter of the ruins has not yet been concluded. We still need to investigate what needs to be investigated. But after there are almost some results, it will be time for the immortal sects to settle their scores."
Cao Jinsong raised his hand and rolled down his wide sleeves to his wrists: "It is said that the demon in the mountain is the ancestor of the Zheng family, and he is from the Chen family, so the Chen family must be held accountable. It is also difficult for the Dan Sect to deny its relationship, and then there is Lingjian Mountain."
Pei Ruyi couldn't help but raise his eyes and said, "Teacher, what you mean is that Tianshuyuan will ask Lingjian Mountain to give an explanation?"
"That's right, don't forget the two words that the Director's Office always says."
"Zong Wei."
Cao Jinsong nodded, then changed his mind and said, "But Lingjian Mountain also has the power of the clan, so this matter is more troublesome than the Zheng family. The Chen family can be held accountable in private, and they can just cede something in secret, but the power of the clan is a matter that needs to be done in public, and there needs to be a result in public, which may lead to opposition."
Zhuo Wanqiu couldn't help but say, "It's not that serious."
"No, you may not know that the young master of Lingjian Mountain is not an ordinary person."
"What do you mean?"
Cao Jinsong stroked his long beard and said, "Tianjian Peak has such a profound foundation, but in recent years it has been suppressed by Xuanjian Peak. In the eyes of the outside world, this is all due to Lingjian, but they ignore the wisdom and means of the young Jian master. This girl... must be extraordinary."
After hearing this, Ji You involuntarily sat up straight and leaned his chest forward.
Cao Jinsong looked surprised: "Well, why are your breasts so big?"
"Really? I don't think it's as big as when you were at the White Jade Terrace just now."
At this time, other people have their own thoughts, and because of the different things they know in their hearts, the focus of their considerations is also different.
But after thinking about it, the thought deep in my heart is that everyone came back alive, and this is the best outcome.
As for ascension, holy weapons, and the young master of Lingjian Mountain, people and things like that who could influence the world, they were too far away from them.
Afterwards, Ban Yangshu, Wen Zhengxin and Bai Rulong bowed and said goodbye, and went back to wash up and have a rest.
Zhuo Wanqiu's mission was completed, so she planned to stay in the city's post station for a while and then return to Lingjian Mountain.
After they left, Cao Jinsong looked at Ji You and Pei Ruyi.
Some things need to be discussed between family members behind closed doors.
"What kind of immortal fate did you get in the ruins?"
Pei Ruyi was slightly startled after hearing this, and then reported truthfully: "There is no immortal fate in the ruins, it is a disaster, and no disciples of the immortal sect family who entered it survived."
Cao Jinsong then looked at Ji You.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Ji You was sitting on a stone bench counting silver...
What Senior Sister Pei knew about the ruins was exactly the same as what he knew, so there was no need for him to agree with her.
"No Immortal Fate..."
Cao Jinsong thought for a moment, then came to his senses and said, "Since there is none, forget it."
Pei Ruyi clasped his hands and said, "Teacher, I will take my leave first. I haven't been home for many days. I need to go back to dry the quilt."
"Go ahead."
Cao Jinsong watched Pei Ruyi leave, his mind full of thoughts.
In fact, there is a concept called physique in this world, such as the Chu family.
It is said that there was once a patriarch of the Chu family whose body was cut open by the Immortal Sect after his death, and they came to the conclusion that their bloodline was the Seven Aperture Exquisite Body.
This kind of physique is inherently close to Tao, which is also the reason why their family has been able to prosper and become stronger and stronger.
However, since the vast majority of physical conditions in the world are not helpful for spiritual practice, such speculation, conjecture and research were abandoned early on as meaningless.
If viewed from this perspective, Pei Ruyi's physique is just average, and his bones are barely good.
But when they met again this time, Cao Jinsong found that she was different. The difference was not because of her cultivation, but because there was a fairy spirit in her aura.
Ban Yangshu also has the same aura.
Cao Jinsong withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Ji You.
He knew that his student was also extremely intelligent, but his talent was just overshadowed by his own.
Pei Ruyi might not know what happened, but Ji You pretended to count the silver just now, so he must have something he wanted to talk about after Pei Ruyi left.
He felt that this was unnecessary. After all, they were from the same school, and it would be overly cautious to cover up like this.
"Ji You, do you have anything to say?"
"Teacher, before I left, I told you that money is only meaningful when it is alive. Where is the money I left with you?"
"????"
Cao Jinsong stood up and said, "Traitor, get out of here!"
Ji You took out a banknote from the banknotes given by the Office of the Registrar, handed it to him and said, "You have given this and that, and your little monthly salary has been used up a long time ago, right?"
Cao Jinsong immediately reached out and snatched it away: "You still have some conscience."
Ji You folded the rest and put them in his arms.
Although I made a lot of money this time, there are also many places where I need to spend money.
For example, a sword.
All of his seven swords were damaged in the successive battles and needed to be replaced.
He also planned to go to Qionghua Pavilion to see if there was anything else that they, the poor guys, did not deserve.
Cao Jinsong put the banknote into his sleeve at this time: "The upper five realms are the realm of all laws. I told you this before. After you enter the inner courtyard, you will be taught how to practice. There are also three thousand Taoist methods hidden in the Heavenly Book Pavilion. This is the foundation of the Heavenly Book Academy."
"I see. All the good stuff is in the inner courtyard."
"There is still some time before the assessment. Although you have reached the middle level of Tongxuan, you still cannot take it lightly. The Chu family has a deep foundation, and Chu He may be taught some profound Taoist methods in advance."
Cao Jinsong used to think that the various assessments in Tianshu Academy were relatively fair, but now he thinks that this fairness is all because everyone in the academy is from an aristocratic family.
But ever since a rural private cultivator broke in and happened to meet the much-anticipated Chu He, all kinds of dark things began to arise.
Ultimately, the level represented by Ji You would make the aristocratic families feel uncomfortable.
"You and Chu He were born in the same era, and your ages are not much different. He may very well become your lifelong enemy."
After hearing this, Ji You looked at him fiercely: "Him? No, he is not worthy. The Master is my mortal enemy."
Cao Jinsong: “?”
He didn't know now that Ji You had already figured out how to turn Tianshuyuan into his own copy.
