The heavenly ship cut through the wind and snow and returned to Thousand Saints Peak.
"Come down, we're here." Zhao Ying called the children out of the heavenly ship. Ji Feichen casually put the heavenly ship to the side.
When the mortal children walked out, they were instantly captivated by the scene in front of them.
A white divine peak towered into the clouds. Golden clouds of light flowed down from the peak like a small sun, dispelling the coldness of the snowy land of Thousand Saints Peak. Under the illumination of the clouds of light, the vast blue sky changed into a seven-colored glow. Grand and magnificent immortal palaces stood in the mountain, surrounded by lush green cedar trees. From time to time, the melodious sound of bells echoed in the mountains.
Countless years later, even if some people had become immortals and proved their Dao, and some had returned to the mortal world. But today's first meeting would still become the most precious memory in their minds.
"This is Thousand Saints Peak, the place where you will cultivate in the future."
After Ji Feichen finished speaking, he led the group to the First Hall at the foot of Thousand Saints Peak.
Although the clouds of light shone brightly, Mount Han was cold, and many people shivered. Mu Han rubbed his hands and blew a few hot breaths into his palms.
Suddenly, a gust of hot air came from behind him. Then, he heard the cheers of many children. Mu Han turned his head to look. Taoist Zhao Ying waved her hand and ignited a ball of Samadhi True Fire, standing among the children to dispel the coldness.
"Mister, is this the magical art of the immortals?"
"This is the Samadhi True Fire condensed from essence, Qi, and spirit. You can cultivate it in the future," Zhao Ying explained with a smile, and led them to the First Hall with Ji Feichen.
The First Hall of the Snow Seeking House was also known as the Immortal Promotion Hall. It was the entrance to the entire Thousand Saints Peak. The other four Ground Fairies had been waiting for a long time at the red steps in front of the hall.
Seeing the two arrive with the children, the four immediately went forward to welcome them.
"One hundred and fifty people. Are these the students that the house master initially chose?" A thin old man examined the young boys and girls. Under his sharp gaze, many people shivered and hid behind Zhao Ying, not daring to raise their heads.
"That's enough. Although you're an expert in Ocular Sorcery, your cultivation is so much lower than the House Master's. How can you understand the House Master's thoughts?" Another young Ground Fairies smiled and said, "The House Master must have a plan for doing this."
Ji Feichen smiled and said to the children, "My name is Xue Li, the master of the Snow Inquiring House. You can call me Mister Xue from now on. As for the other five … let them introduce themselves. "
Zhao Ying laughed heartily. "I'm Daoist Zhao Ying. I'll be the master of your Hall of Immortals in the future. I'll teach you daily celestial arts."
The thin old man said, "I'm Dongguo Yang, the Lord of the Hall of Immortal Arts. Pill refinement, talisman drawing, artifact crafting, formation setting … all skills related to the immortal dao will be led by this old man. The various arts of the Immortal Dao are all-encompassing. I will warn you here, do not think of learning them all. As long as you are proficient in one, you will have no worries in the future. "
The young Ground Fairies said in a cheerful tone, "I'm Su Xiaoyao, the master of your Hall of Immortals and Martial. I'll be in charge of all the celestial arts related to combat. "
The fourth person was a middle-aged man with a square face and a solemn demeanor. "I'm the master of the Hall of Immortal Law, Huang Li. I won't teach you cultivation. The only thing I'll teach you is to abide by the precepts and cultivate your hearts. The Snow Inquiring House has its own rules. If you violate them, you will fall into my hands. "
The last person was a white-haired old lady. "My surname is Chen. You can call me Granny Chen. My logistics department is only responsible for taking care of your daily life. Little fellows, as long as you don't cause trouble and listen to me, I won't send you to Hall Master Huang. "At the end of her sentence, the wrinkles on her face squeezed together and her eyes narrowed into slits, revealing a smile.
After the five of them introduced themselves, Ji Feichen said to the crowd, "As for the Snow Inquiring House's Pure Heart Heavenly Scripture, I'll personally teach you how to cultivate qi."
"As for your cultivation time in the Snow Inquiring House, you'll only be given thirty years. You'll be tested once every ten years. Those who pass will advance, and those who fail will have to repeat a year. After repeating three times, you'll be sent down the mountain and back to the mortal world. Of course, if you find cultivation boring halfway through, you can apply to quit. "
Ji Feichen explained the general rules of the Snow Inquiring House and clapped his hands. "Now, do you have any questions?"
Mu Han raised his hand. "House Master, we didn't bring our daily necessities. I heard that immortals don't drink food. How are we going to live in the future? "
"With someone here and our own hands, we don't have to worry about our daily necessities." Ji Feichen smiled. "The ice city you live in was built by the Snow Inquiring House. The spirit grains you eat and even the fire seeds you use are all from the Snow Inquiring House. Here, you don't have to worry about daily necessities. In the future, under the guidance of the Hall Master, you'll personally produce the corresponding items and put them into the mortal world. Perhaps your parents and relatives will need them. "
Then, the six immortals brought the children to the next hall.
After the Hall of Immortal Cultivation, they passed a long and narrow white jade path, which led to the second hall, the Hall of Profound Truth.
"This is the place where the people usually gather. You can come every morning and have your meals in the side hall. "
Although the six immortals didn't eat food, to take care of the children and get along with them, they would symbolically eat with them.
"From the Hall of Profound Truth to the left, it's where you usually stay. There's also a spiritual garden specially built for you. Spirit grains are planted there for you to eat. To the right of the Hall of Profound Truth is where we teach. As for the Heavenly Heart Hall behind the Hall of Profound Truth, it's the main hall of the Snow Inquiring House. It's open on the first and fifteenth of every month. Everyone can cultivate and test their homework together. "
There were many immortal palaces in the Thousand Saint Mountain, but only the first three halls, including the main hall, were open to the public. As for the area behind, it would be used by Extraordinary Mortals and Human Immortals in the future.
After a rough explanation, Ji Feichen brought the children to the Myriad Spirit Palace on the left.
It was a continuous cluster of palaces.
The children looked at the palaces enviously. When they were in the city, these tall and gorgeous buildings were just places for the adults to work. Only the officials who were proficient in celestial spells were qualified to live here.
"Can, can we really live here?"
"This is where you will live in the future. When you are successful in your cultivation, you won't be weaker than the officials in Ice City. Even if it's the first 30-year course, as long as you pass, you can become a high-ranking official in Ice City. If you complete the second course, you can become a city lord and even build your own Ice City. "
Ji Feichen drew a picture, and Granny Chen said, "There are 1,200 rooms in Myriad Spirit Palace, enough for you to choose. However, to take care of each other, one room for one person. Boys and girls can choose separately. "
She and Zhao Ying helped to separate the hundred and fifty children. Zhao Ying brought 96 boys to the east. Four people to a room, so there were 24 rooms. Granny Chen brought 54 girls to the west. Three people to a room, so there were 18 rooms.
Dongguo Yang and Ji Feichen waited outside Myriad Spirit Palace. He said to Ji Feichen, "House Master, do you think we should recruit a few more lecturers? Those Immortal Folks Hall and Immortal Martial Hall might be busy. However, my Immortal Arts Hall teaches all kinds of immortal techniques, even I can't learn all of them! "
Dongguo Yang was experienced and knowledgeable. He was a famous Ground Fairies expert in the entire Qian Guang continent. Otherwise, Ji Feichen would not have thought highly of him and pulled him out of the netherworld to be a lecturer. However, he could not study the thousands of years of immortal techniques with the energy of a Ground Fairies.
Teach others? Don't mislead them.
"Don't worry, don't worry. We will definitely recruit more people, but we can't find anyone right now. The southern immortal sects are eyeing us like tigers watching their prey. They will come to discuss dao with us soon. We might be able to defeat them, but with their mindset, I'm afraid they'll decide the victor based on the number of disciples they have. To prevent people from the southern immortal sects from sneaking in, we can't recruit people for the next few decades. So, let's work hard. Didn't you see that I changed the curriculum? According to the original curriculum, each person will be responsible for two immortal halls. "
At this point, Dongguo Yang was speechless.
Yes, according to the house master's original plan, they wanted to create a curriculum that explained the history of Qian Guang continent's immortal dao. However, because everyone was against it, and because they couldn't find a suitable lecturer, they could only give up.
Two hours later, Granny Chen and Zhao Ying brought the children out and went to the spirit garden next to Myriad Spirit Palace.
The spirit garden was divided according to the crops, fruits, and vegetables. Zhao Ying rolled up his sleeves and brought the children to a flat area. He stretched out a finger and casually cast an immortal art. "Land Reclamation Art!" Streams of Vital Qi surged through the ground like spirit snakes, and very quickly, the land was reclaimed and shaped.
Land Reclamation Art was a civilian immortal art invented by Ji Feichen. It could help mortals plow the land and turn the soil. If the orthodox immortals saw this scene, they would definitely scold Snow Seeking House for not doing its job properly. However, in the eyes of these simple children, they saw a way to reduce the burden on their fellow villagers.
"If … if everyone could learn this kind of immortal technique, wouldn't Father and the others be more relaxed? Our family's Old Cow wouldn't be exhausted every day?" A girl's imagination ran wild, and she revealed an eager expression.
"This kind of art will be taught in the Immortal Folk Hall's curriculum." Zhao Ying explained to everyone, "Immortal folk is the combination of immortals and mortals. Using immortal arts to cultivate the human dao and walk on a new era of integration."
Facing the harsh environment of Qian Guang continent, using immortal arts to open the way and let everyone cultivate was the best model.
"Living immortal art?" A little girl said shyly, "Is it what the adults in the city use?"
"Yes, that's right. However, those officials are only shallow qi practitioners and haven't truly entered the sect. They are failures of the immortal dao. "After saying this, Granny Chen took out a palm-sized rice and inserted it into the ground.
Soon, spirit qi gushed out from the ground, and the rice grew healthily. In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it completed the cycle of the four seasons and grew into a rice tree close to seven feet tall. Golden veins flickered on its leaves, holding up seven bright red main ears. Every main panicle had twelve tillers, and every tiller was full of grains. There were three hundred and sixty grains of rice in total.
Just this one spirit rice cultivated by immortals could produce more than thirty thousand grains of rice, enough for several people to eat a meal.
"The six of us are at Snow Seeking House, and this Phoenix Tail Rice should be enough. As for you — "Granny Chen blew a gust of wind, and the Phoenix Tail Rice swayed with the wind. Green light wrapped around the rice seeds and sowed them on the spirit field. The green rice seeds were buried in the ground, and a hazy yellow gas covered the soil, leveling the ground.
"Next, it's your job." Dongguo Yang pointed at a small pine forest beside them. The pine trees were only three feet tall. "Each of you, go and pull a pine tree."
Mu Han and the others didn't understand, but seeing the six people's unfathomable expressions, they all went to pull the trees. When the pine trees were pulled out of the ground, they turned into pine wood swords in their hands. The swords were wrapped in a ball of dense green gas, and contained mysterious Dao patterns.
"This is an immortal dharma treasure that I refined. Although it's the most basic one, it will be a tool that you will carry with you for the next ten years." Dongguo Yang stroked his beard and pointed to the others. "Swing your swords at this field."
Everyone swung their treasured swords at the spirit field. As Mu Han and the others swung their Pine Wind swords, rays of green light shot out from the swords and landed on the rice field in front of them. Soon, bits of green emerged from the soil. Under the stimulation of the Yi Wood Green Gas, the spirit rice grew into stalks of rice that were as tall as a human. Each stalk of rice had five ears, and each main ear had nine. Rice grains hung on them, and the fragrance of rice wafted over with the wind.
A stalk of rice had five main ears?
Mu Han's father was a rice farmer, and he had gone to the spirit field in Ice City with his father. Legend had it that the spirit grains there were produced by the Snow Seeking House, but most of them were two-grain or three-grain rice. He had never seen a stalk of rice grow five main ears.
"In Ice City's spirit field, a stalk of rice has three main ears, and each main ear has nine effective tillers. Each main ear can produce 100 grains of rice, so there are more than 2,000 grains. If we calculate according to the five ears of rice here, wouldn't it be close to 5,000 grains? "
Mu Han's heart trembled. "Is this the means of an immortal?
Moreover, this is not the original half-year or three-month rice. As long as the immortal spell was used to produce a new batch of rice every day.
"With this kind of immortal valley, why would I worry about hunger?" Thinking of this, Mu Han was shocked, but he also felt a little resentment toward the southern immortal sects.
"I heard that when my father and the others were young, they had to go to the southern immortal sects every year to ask for food from the immortals. However, those immortal sects have been around for thousands of years. Why has no one studied this treasure that can benefit the entire human race? "
They only used immortal spells to fight and not to benefit the people. Could such people be immortals?
For a moment, Mu Han felt a little yearning for the Snow Seeking House and the immortal spells used by the common people.
Ji Feichen plucked a rice and explained, "This dry rice is called Phoenix Tail Rice. One rice has seven ears, just like the tail feathers of a phoenix. That's how it got its name."
This was Long Yuan's greatest achievement so far. According to Ji Feichen's evaluation, Jin Shaolan's ability to cultivate this kind of spiritual rice was enough to benefit the people and be passed down for generations.
The first generation of Phoenix Tail Rice and Seven-Tailed Phoenix Plume Grass had seven ears of rice. The second generation of Phoenix Tail Rice immediately degenerated and produced at most five ears of rice. After another generation, it produced three ears of rice. Finally, after five generations of repeated cultivation, the three ears of rice transformed into double ears of rice. Currently, the rice in the mortal world's Ice City was made from the degenerated Five Ears Grass of the Snow Seeking House, which was used to cultivate the three-pronged rice and two-pronged rice.
Next, Ji Feichen and the others taught the children how to harvest the rice and make it into japonica rice. They cooked the rice themselves. Of course, the rest of the dishes were provided by Ji Feichen and the others. It was the first feast to celebrate everyone's success. Each person received twelve main dishes and countless immortal spiritual fruits. This was a luxury that they could never imagine in Ice City.
The first meal at Snow Seeking House made everyone yearn for the future of immortal cultivation.
