In the Li Nation of the Xuanhuang Province.
On top of a huge mountain, there was a huge building. Outside the gate, there were four big words: Seven Stars Academy.
At the foot of the mountain, there were seven small cities, known as the Seven Heir Cities.
One of them, Star Heir City, was the smallest ancient city among the Seven Heir Cities. It only had a population of more than 100,000. In the World of Cultivators or in many other places, such a small city could hardly be called a city!
At this time, Star Heir City was unusually lively. In just a few days, cultivators from all over the world had gathered. The entire ancient city suddenly became crowded. All the major inns were full of people. There were even many tents set up outside the ancient city, where tens of thousands of cultivators lived.
All of this was due to the Seven Stars Academy on the mountain.
Every ten years, the Seven Stars Academy would recruit new disciples and conduct an assessment. Those who successfully passed the assessment could become disciples of the Seven Stars Academy and study in the academy.
This year, it was the last day for the Seven Stars Academy to recruit new disciples. There were only 1,000 places left, and the location was set in Star Heir City.
Therefore, countless cultivators in the Li Nation and the Li Nation wanted to seize the last opportunity to win one of the 1,000 places and study in the Seven Stars Academy.
In the Xuanhuang Province, the academy was the best springboard and the best cradle.
Studying in the academy, not only could one get access to a large number of magic arts and resources, but once one graduated from the academy, he could also become a teacher or be introduced to the major sects. It was definitely easier than being a disbanded cultivator.
This was like the entertainment industry. Many people wanted to be admitted to various film and music academies, and then enter the entertainment industry with the qualifications or connections they had learned in the academy and become a famous star.
Although the sects in the Xuanhuang Province would also recruit new disciples, most of them would give priority to the people cultivated by the academy, and then consider disbanded cultivators.
Therefore, no matter which academy recruited, whether they had the strength or luck, there would always be countless cultivators who would try their best to participate.
At this moment, in Star Heir City.
An old woman in a Taoist robe was walking on the street, followed by a young woman. She wore a snow-white dress, had a delicate face, and smooth skin.
She was leading a horse. There was a trace of exhaustion between her eyebrows, but there was always a kind of resolute look on her face.
She had an idea that she couldn't fall down and give up.
"Yu Xi, rest here for a while!" At this moment, the old woman who was walking ahead suddenly stopped and muttered in a low voice.
The woman was slightly startled, only then did she see that the old woman had stopped outside a rest stop.
"Master, is this inn opened by your friend?" the woman asked.
"That's right. Follow me inside. Leave the horses here for now. Someone will come and take them away later." The old woman nodded and stepped into the inn with an expressionless face.
"Yes!" The woman answered, then let go of the reins and followed the old woman inside.
A moment later, a middle-aged shopkeeper personally received the old woman and the young woman.
The woman stood to the side, not saying anything. However, from the conversation between the old woman and the middle-aged shopkeeper, she realized that the old woman's friend was actually the shopkeeper's father, who had already passed away.
Although the middle-aged shopkeeper had a warm smile on his face, the woman felt that it was a fake smile!
At last, the old woman and the young woman were placed in a shabby and remote woodshed.
Looking at the dust all around, and the air was filled with a musty smell, the woman frowned and said in a low voice, "Master, that person is too much. How dare he let you live in such a place? I will go and reason with him."
"Forget it, Yu Xi. The fickleness of human nature is the fickleness of the world. Don't you understand this simple truth?" The old woman waved her hand gently and sighed.
"But Master, your illness …"
"Heh, heh, do you think my illness will be cured if I move to a better place? Forget it. Now that the Seven Stars Academy is recruiting students, it is good enough that they can give me a woodshed! "The old woman smiled kindly.
The woman was stunned. In her impression, this was one of the few smiles her master had.
But when she saw her master's smile, she felt very uneasy, as if her master was going to leave.
"Yu Xi, I have something to tell you!" At this time, the old woman spoke again in a very gentle tone.
"Master, please speak!" The woman hurriedly helped the old woman to the side. She used her white sleeves to wipe off the dust and let the old woman sit down.
When the old woman saw the woman's action, she nodded slightly and smiled. There was a hint of relief and reluctance in her smile.
"Now that my life is coming to an end, I am afraid I can't take care of you for a long time …"
"Master!"
"Yu Xi, don't interrupt me! When I brought you here, I wanted to give you some good fortune. I didn't expect that I would have to leave before I could give you good fortune! However, the Seven Stars Academy's recruitment this time might be an opportunity for you. After you enter the Seven Stars Academy, remember to practice hard. I've taught you everything that I can. The rest is up to you! "
"Master, it's all my fault. If you didn't save me, you wouldn't have ended up like this!" As the woman spoke, tears flowed from her eyes.
"Don't talk nonsense. If I didn't bring you here, how could you fall into such a trap?"
"No, Master, I begged you to bring me here to look for a person. I didn't expect that the world is so big, and this path is so difficult. I even harmed you …"
"Do you regret coming out to look for him?"
"I …" The woman paused slightly.
But her firm eyes had told her everything. She didn't regret it. She never regretted it!
The old woman looked at her and smiled. She didn't mention this again. Instead, she said, "Yu Xi, remember, don't take out the Seven Stars Order easily next time. No one can cure my illness. Even if you exchange the Seven Stars Order for more elixirs, you can only let me live in pain for a few more days!"
"Master, I will remember!" The woman nodded.
"Good, then I can rest assured …" After saying that, the old woman closed her eyes slowly and left with a smile.
The woman was instantly stunned. She was completely dumbfounded.
She did not expect her master to leave just like that, and in such a sudden manner.
Although her master looked peaceful, it was still hard for her to accept it.
"Master …"
The woman knelt in front of the old woman and cried her eyes out.
If Xu Que were here, he would be shocked.
This woman in white was his college girlfriend, Lin Yuxi.
"Master, don't worry. I will practice hard and avenge you!"
Lin Yuxi looked at the old woman who left peacefully and said firmly in her heart.
She had one more goal in this life!
In the end, Lin Yuxi buried the old woman under the woodshed. This was something that the old woman had hinted to her a long time ago.
This inn was opened by her and her friend. The two of them had many memories here. The old woman once said to herself that she hoped to return to her roots and be buried here in the future.
At that time, Lin Yuxi didn't think much of it. Until now, she understood why the old woman brought her here. In addition to escorting her to the Seven Stars Academy, she also wanted to rest here in peace.
"Bang!"
At this time, there was a sudden muffled sound outside the door, as if someone had fallen to the ground.
Then, there was a burst of scolding.
"B * stard, how dare you come here to eat and drink? Do you want to die?"
"D * mn, do you still want to do business in this inn? I took out the elixir to admire, but it was eaten by this person. How are you going to compensate for this? I'm afraid that you can't afford a second-grade Mind Restoration Pill even if you sell your inn! "
"Please forgive me, young master. I'll let you deal with this person!"
"Deal with your mother. This person is a fool. Even if he is killed, can it be exchanged for my loss?"
"But this …"
"Humph, this time, in order to participate in the assessment of the Seven Stars Academy, I deliberately got a Mind Restoration Elixir, but your inn let a fool in and ate the elixir. I will definitely hold your inn responsible for this matter."
"Young master, we are also a small business. How can we afford to pay for this Mind Restoration Pill?"
"Can't afford to pay for it? Then I will burn down your inn. Even if the City Governor comes, he can't do anything to me! Come on, drive all the people in the inn out. And this fool, beat him to death. After beating him to death, throw him out to feed the dogs! "
…
At this point, the innkeeper begged for mercy, and a series of intensive fighting sounds.
Lin Yuxi frowned slightly and shook her head.
It seemed that the middle-aged innkeeper was also unlucky. But according to the trend, it seemed that the inn could not be stayed.
"Creak!"
She gently pushed the door open and looked outside.
She saw the middle-aged innkeeper kneeling in front of a young master, begging for mercy.
Next to him, there were a few people dressed as guards, surrounding a sloppy man and beating him. The man did not say a word. He hugged his head tightly and curled up on the ground. He was still chewing the food crazily. It seemed that he was starving.
When Lin Yuxi saw this, she could not help but sigh. This was a world where the weak were prey to the strong. When her master was still alive, she always taught her not to meddle in other people's business. Now that her master had passed away, even if she wanted to help, she did not have the ability.
"Eh?" Suddenly, just when Lin Yuxi was about to close the door and ignore it, her eyes happened to meet the eyes of the man who was being beaten.
This look seemed to pass through the void, through time, thousands of years, looking for him thousands of times, suddenly looking back, that person was in the place where the lights were waning!
Her eyes widened in disbelief, and her body trembled with excitement, "Xu … Xu Que!"
