early morning.
The backyard of the Taoist temple.
Qin Luo sat cross-legged under the peach tree, meditating. Wisps of pure energy rose from his body, undispelled by the wind, soaring straight into the sky and eventually disappearing into the heights beyond the reach of the naked eye.
"Uncle Qin, I'm going to the academy now."
Lin Jia'er left Longhu Temple with her shoulder bag on her back. She had grown very quickly recently and was now half a head taller than Xiao Tuanzi.
Qin Luo opened his eyes, looked up at the clouds that had not yet dissipated, and then stood up.
Xiao Die cleans the yard now that Lin Jia'er has grown up, she doesn't need to follow her around every day.
Qin Luo came to the peach tree and picked some peach gum, intending to take it to Jinghu Academy to make soup for the younger generation. It would not only beautify their skin but also strengthen their bodies.
Jin Yan offered incense and prayed for blessings in the main hall of the Taoist temple, while Cai Xia followed beside him, bowing and paying respects to the portrait of the Taoist patriarch.
Qin Luo stood outside the hall watching them. Even though life at Longhu Temple was dull and boring, Jin Yan and Cai Xia didn't find it boring. With them around, Longhu Temple was lively.
"Senior brother!"
Jin Yan shouted at Qin Luo.
Qin Luo smiled and nodded, then said softly, "What would you like to eat tonight? I'll bring it to you."
Caixia smiled sweetly and said, "Senior brother, I want to eat wild vegetable dumplings. Please bring more, as Master likes them too."
Me too.
Jin Yan had a kind and honest smile.
As Qin Luo walked out of the Dragon Tiger Temple, he heard the sound of metal clashing against metal. Jin Jiao was still sleeping in the small wooden house.
When Jinjiao first came to Longhu Temple, it was said that it could stand guard for a whole day, but in the end it only stood guard for one day.
Jinghu Academy.
Wu Shashen led the younger generation in morning training at the martial arts training ground.
Qin Luo came to the training ground to watch them practice boxing. The younger generation learned the health-preserving boxing quite well, but very few of them could grasp the essence. Zhou Peng was the most insightful among the younger generation, and he performed a set of boxing techniques with smooth and flowing movements.
After finishing his morning exercise, Wu Shashen patted Zhou Peng on the shoulder and couldn't help but praise him, "Zhou Peng, you have the talent for martial arts. I'll talk to Mr. Chu and ask him to recommend you to the Great Xia Martial Academy."
Zhou Peng scratched his head. "Instructor Wu, I don't want to go to the Great Xia Martial Academy. I just want to stay in the Purple Cloud Mountains."
Wu Shashen was somewhat surprised. "You should know that this opportunity is very rare. Many juniors are not qualified to make a recommendation. Are you worried that no one will take care of your family? I can find a way."
Zhou Peng quickly shook his head, "No, I just like the Ziyun Mountains and want to stay here to farm."
“It’s such a waste for someone with your talent to go into farming. If you decide to stay in the Purple Cloud Mountains in the future, you can come to me to practice martial arts when you have free time. However, I’m only a novice, so I may not be able to teach you well.” Wu Shashen said humbly.
"Then thank you in advance, Instructor Wu."
Zhou Peng clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.
Chen Xingzhou rang the bell of Jinghu Academy.
As the bell rang, the younger generation arrived at the classroom one after another, and Qin Luo walked into the classroom with a smile on his face.
"Good morning, Dean."
Qin Luo smiled and nodded. Looking at the energetic juniors in front of him, he gently reminded them, "You will leave Mirror Lake Academy in a year. You have a year to think carefully about whether to stay in the Purple Cloud Mountains or go to the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom for further studies. Tell me when you have made up your mind. If you want a letter of recommendation, you can come to me at any time."
A junior colleague blinked and asked, "Dean, will we all be able to get recommendation letters?"
Recommendation letters from Jinghu Academy were previously reserved for outstanding juniors. Chu Peiran also wanted to send everyone to the capital for further studies, but he didn't have that much influence.
Qin Luo nodded, "Of course, whether you want to go to the Great Xia Academy, the Great Xia Martial Academy, or the Great Xia Sword Sect, that's fine with you. After all, you are the best students I have ever taught."
"Thank you, Dean!"
"Our dean is still the best!"
Qin Luo turned and wrote on the blackboard, 'A wise man should dwell among the wild geese and possess the potential for transformation like a dragon or a snake.'
"Today we will talk about the usefulness of usefulness and the uselessness of uselessness."
...
The Celestial Realm.
Space distortion.
A wisp of pure air appeared deep in the mountains and forests, surrounded by towering trees and various ferocious beasts lurking among them.
"The spiritual substances in the celestial realm are indeed more concentrated."
Qin Luo stood deep in the mountains, dressed in white with his white hair cascading over his shoulders. This was a clone he had created using the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique. Even though he was at Mirror Lake Academy, he could control the clone's actions.
Boom!
Qin Luo frowned slightly.
A golden bolt of lightning descended from the sky, bathing Qin Luo's clone in its power. The surrounding mountains and forests were instantly destroyed, and the ferocious beasts in the mountains sensed the danger and scattered in all directions.
"The rules of the immortal realm are rejecting me."
One after another, bolts of tribulation lightning followed closely behind, quickly forming a massive golden sea of lightning, resembling the end of the world.
Qin Luo stood still, accepting the baptism of the tribulation lightning. This clone was stronger than Qin Luo's main body; it could directly absorb the energy of the tribulation lightning, and its eyes emitted a terrifying golden light.
Soon after, Qin Luo gradually adapted to the rules of the Immortal Realm. The tribulation lightning stopped abruptly, as if it were afraid of him, and the bright sunlight shone on the mountains and forests once again.
The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.
A colossal creature appeared nearby.
"Are you an Ascended One?"
A majestic voice echoed between heaven and earth. Qin Luo raised his head and looked at the golden dragon coiled high above, which resembled an ancient divine mountain, carrying a powerful aura.
"I guess so."
Qin Luo remained calm.
The golden dragon looked at Qin Luo with disdain, only sensing a faint aura. Cultivators who had just undergone tribulation were usually very weak.
"Ascensionist, I offer you two choices: one, sign a master-servant contract with me; two,..."
"I choose one."
Qin Luo said with a smile.
The golden dragon narrowed its eyes, its anger palpable. "You dare to laugh? You should be grateful you met me. If you had met any other dragon king, you would have become food long ago."
