After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Wang Lu set off from the Misty Peak. When he arrived at the Four Divisions Peak, there was already a sea of people.
Of course, such a description was not accurate. In the entire Spirit Sword Sect, including all the Inner and Outer Court disciples, as well as the Elders who were cultivating in seclusion on the mountain, and even the handymen of the Carefree Peak, it was hard to say whether they could come up with a thousand people.
However, as the gathering place, the square of the Four Divisions Peak was indeed a bit small. When hundreds of people gathered, it seemed to be very crowded.
Of course, no matter how crowded it was, just by virtue of his red and white robe, he had a foothold in the square. Sure enough, when Wang Lu, while shouting sorry, forced his way through the crowd and came to the front of the square, there was already a row of seats neatly stacked there.
Those were the seats for the true disciples of the Lingjian School. However … as usual, although there were four seats in that row, there was only one person sitting there.
A young girl in a colorful dress was greeting him with a bright smile.
She was the true disciple of the Fourth Elder, nicknamed Little Liu Li. Her real name … was unknown. She entered the sect a few years earlier than him, but now her cultivation was close to the Foundation Building Realm. It was not that she could not enter the Foundation Building Realm, but the Fourth Elder Zhou Ming deliberately suppressed her cultivation, wanting her to cultivate the Brilliant Sword Heart before entering the Foundation Building Realm.
The so-called Brilliant Sword Heart, although Wang Lu did not understand it, he felt that it was amazing. In short, this true disciple was different from him, who was slightly inferior. She was a real elite of the sect.
Unfortunately, after entering the sect for more than two years, the two of them did not have much interaction. They only occasionally met at the gate and nodded to each other.
In addition to Little Liu Li, there were two other true disciples in the sect. Unfortunately, after entering the sect for more than two years, he had not seen either of them.
It was said that the oldest one was the disciple of the Third Elder Fang He. He traveled outside all year round and never wanted to return to the sect.
The other one was the disciple of Feng Yin Daoist Master, who entered the mountain almost at the same time as little Liu Li. However, she had been in closed-door training all year round, like a tuberculosis ghost who had never seen the light of day all year round. She had only occasionally heard from her Junior Brothers and Sisters that her talent was so strong that it was hard to find anyone in the entire Nine Regions who could match her, and her cultivation base was even higher than little Liu Li.
Looking at the situation today, the other two Successor Disciples probably wouldn't be able to come. Wang Lu didn't care. He casually sat down in his seat, picked up the teacup on the small table and took a sip, waiting for the arrival of the Sect Leader.
Just as he sat down, he heard an old voice coming from the front.
"Very good, everyone is here. Let's start the meeting."
Looking up, the Heavenly Sword Hall Elders were already sitting cross-legged in the air in front of the square!
Wang Lu almost spat out the tea in his mouth. Damn it, the entire sect was waiting for me!?
Aren't you being too unprofessional as a Sect Leader!? As a leader, you should always come later. At least wait for the rest of the soldiers to arrive before you come, right? If you come so early, how are we supposed to behave?
Fortunately, except for Wang Lu, the others didn't care too much about this problem. After waiting for a while, Feng Yin Daoist Master went straight to the point.
"Today, I have gathered everyone here because there is an important task to be arranged. It's about the cultivation of the disciples of the sect. Therefore, Elder Liu Xian will explain the specific situation to everyone."
Then, sitting on the left side of Feng Yin, the Elder of Lingjian School said, "Notice about the new disciples going out for experiential learning. In order to further strengthen the talent team building of Lingjian School and comprehensively improve the comprehensive strength of the disciples, the sect plans to carry out the work of experiential learning for the new disciples in the near future. The related plan has been studied and approved by the Heavenly Sword Hall Elders. Now the notice is as follows … "
Hearing this opening, Wang Lu couldn't help but spit out the tea in his mouth.
What's with this strange style of writing!? It's like deja vu!?
Seeing the strong doubt in Wang Lu's eyes, a foreign elder sitting in the air very considerately explained to Wang Lu through telepathy, "In recent years, this is the movement of writing in the vernacular within the Wanxian League. Don't you know? Speaking of which, you really haven't participated in this kind of plenary meeting before … In short, it's to get rid of those flashy writing styles and vigorously promote the vernacular. Especially regarding the ancient books of techniques, it's important to make the vernacular easy to understand and accurately describe the advantages, so that it's convenient for the cultivation of the new generation of cultivators and so on. As one of the top five in the Wanxian League, Lingjian School has to be a good example. Therefore, since a few years ago, this kind of official document has been written in the vernacular. "
Well, there was no need for Martial Uncle Guanhai to say anything more. Wang Lu had already deeply understood the profound connotation and importance of this movement. In short, the Wanxian League has been peaceful for thousands of years, and it's so uncomfortable that it has to be tossed around …
Not long after, Elder Liu Xian finished reading the contents of the notice, and the disciples in the square had already been whispering to each other, showing their excitement.
Even Wang Lu, who didn't care about the vernacular movement, fell into deep thought.
The plan of the Heavenly Sword Hall Elder to go out and gain experience, in simple terms, was to let the disciples below the Foundation Establishment stage go out and wander, using practical experience to enhance their experience and consolidate their cultivation.
The scope of the experiential learning was within the Blue River Province — this was not unexpected. Because the Blue River Province was the tacit sphere of influence of Lingjian School, even though the sect had always been lax in management. Outside the Blue River Province, no matter where they went, they would enter the territory of other sects. Then, all kinds of troubles would arise, which would be intolerable.
As for the content of the experiential learning, it was not something that could be casually played outside the mountain. The Second Elder Liu Xian clearly arranged a task: Each disciple must write a report of more than five thousand words based on the experience of the experiential learning. The quality of the report would directly affect the sect's score. High quality didn't need to be mentioned, but if the quality was too poor … there was no upper limit to the deduction of points.
As for the theme of the report, although the sect didn't strictly limit it, it gave a reference suggestion: On the Relationship between the Immortal World and the Mortal World.
This topic was very big, but it was also very good. The Nine Regions was vast and boundless, but in the end, in addition to the Immortal Cultivation World, there was only the mortal world, and the mortal world accounted for the majority of the Nine Regions. The cultivators seemed to be aloof and above the mortal world, but if they really left the mortal world, the Immortal Cultivation World would be like a tree without roots … It was just that, there were not many cultivators who could really understand the relationship between the two worlds.
The reason why such a huge problem was given to a group of young boys and girls who had just entered the sect was that their cultivation time was still too short, their mortal heart was still unsettled, and their cultivation level was not high enough. If they wanted to be ethereal and transcend the mortal world, their ability was not enough. With such conditions, going down the mountain for experiential learning would be an exceptionally valuable experience.
Therefore, the time of the experiential learning was set to be very long: one year.
However, for Wang Lu, these problems were not the key.
The key was that with this activity, he could finally go down the mountain legitimately, and could finally...
Go home and have a look.
—
In fact, when the Heavenly Policy Hall designed the plan, they deliberately included this point in the scope of consideration. Letting them go down the mountain to study the relationship between the Immortal World and the Mortal World was actually to let them take this opportunity to cut off their mortal ties.
He had no other choice. Immortals and mortals walked different paths. This saying was not a joke. The main difference between cultivators and mortals was not their strength, but their lifespan.
Even if they were only successful in the Foundation Establishment Stage, the lifespan of a cultivator would be close to 200 years, a Xudan Stage cultivator would have 300 years, and a Daoist Master King Pill would have 400 years of lifespan — these were just the bottom line! And the disciples cultivated by an ancient sect like the Lingjian School had a solid foundation, comprehensive quality, and their lifespan was several times longer than the average cultivator! Now, many of these disciples in the Qi Refining Stage had an innate lifespan of more than 150 years. In this case, there was an unavoidable problem.
It was the parting of life and death with their relatives and friends in the mortal world.
This experiential learning was actually a chance for the disciples to say goodbye to their relatives in the mortal world. Unfortunately, due to various conditions, it could only benefit the disciples born in the Blue River Region. After the plan was announced, most of the disciples were talking about this matter.
"Well, this is the plan. You will leave at the beginning of next month. There is less than a month's time, so you should prepare well. Especially those who have entered the sect for the shortest time, you should speed up your cultivation. The world under the mountain is not as simple and comfortable as it is on the mountain. "
After explaining some simple matters to pay attention to, Feng Yin Daoist Master announced the end of the meeting. The clamor of the disciples suddenly swelled. Some were in high spirits, while some were in low spirits. Wang Lu did not have too much of a reaction. He just felt that it was not bad to have a chance to return home in glory.
As for that report … haha, when was a professional adventurer afraid of writing a report?! Not to mention a year of experiential learning, even if he was asked to write now, he could easily make a report with rich content to fool people.
Therefore, when he thought of the small mountain village in the northern corner of the Dog Ear Mountain in the Marquis County of the Great Ming Country in the Eastern Road Prefecture of the Blue River Region, Wang Lu's heart gradually became hot.
He was too lazy to think about cutting off his worldly ties and so on. As long as he knew that he was going home soon … that was enough.

After the meeting, Wang Lu returned to the Non-Phase Peak's shack. His Master was sitting in the hall, drinking alone. She was still drinking several hundred spirit stones worth of spirit wine, looking very carefree and happy. Normally, Wang Lu would have already ridiculed her. However, today, he was in a good mood, so he was too lazy to argue with her.
Seeing Wang Lu enter the room, his Master softly exclaimed, "Yo, not bad, you actually succeeded in your swordsmanship?"
Wang Lu was taken aback. "You can see that?"
"Humph, the swordsman's swordsmanship is different, so their temperament is also different. I can see the change in your temperament to know your cultivation."
How could Wang Lu believe this kind of nonsense? He sneered. "Tell me the truth."
Wang Wu confidently said, "Actually, when you and Aya were having a sword fight, I happened to pass by."
"Sh * t, then why are you bragging? Forget it, in short, I have overfulfilled your task. Now, can I go on a killing spree? "
"Overfulfilled my ass, going on a killing spree? You've just completed the third layer of Non-Phase Sword Art and you're already so cocky? " Wang Wu was simply resentful. "Didn't you hear what that idiot Sect Leader said? You little bastards are going to go down the mountain for experiential learning. Do you really think this is fun? Do you really think you can run amok in the Nine Regions with your insignificant cultivation? "
Wang Lu immediately put on an ashamed and remorseful face. "Master's lesson is really right, your words are really enlightening. I really shouldn't be complacent because of a little bit of insignificant progress and forget that the Immortal Path is slow and endless. Nine Regions is so big that there is always a sky beyond the sky …"
These heartfelt words made his Master's hair stand on end, and the slightly tipsy feeling that she had just brewed disappeared without a trace. Naturally, the precious immortal wine that she drank to nourish her qi was tantamount to feeding a dog.
"You … What's wrong with you?"
Wang Lu's face changed again. "Master, this disciple of yours is so weak, shouldn't you give me some money to support me, hahaha?"
"... Where can I find money for you? Heavy metal is more like it! "
Wang Lu bluntly said, "Some time ago, you've taken all of that stupid donkey Zhifeng's belongings, don't tell me you've sold them all."
"Ridiculous!"
Wang Wu, of course, was not penniless. With her wealth, she could even afford to drink a few hundred spirit stones worth of wine. However, she still had a ridiculing expression on her face as she looked up at Wang Lu contemptuously.
Wang Lu's face changed again. He threw himself to his knees and hugged his Master's thigh. "Local tyrant, let's be friends, okay?"
"Let go!"
