The tamed beast that Xiuru had tamed was an Eagle Beak Beast. It was massive, and even with the group sitting on its back, it didn't feel cramped at all.
Zheng Yang and the others wanted to fly, but recalling their teacher's low-profile personality, they eventually gave up on the idea. Thus, they sat on the back of the Eagle Beak Beast and closed their eyes to rest.
"You are cultivators as well?"
Xiuru asked doubtfully. She had thought that they were cultivators as well.
She had thought that they had never come into contact with zhenqi before, but who would have thought that they would be able to absorb spiritual energy?
"You can say that."
Zheng Yang nodded with a smile.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Xiuru chuckled proudly. "I have cultivated as well, and I have received the old village chief's heritage. Of all the villagers in the village, I am the only one who has cleared the examination …"
"Incredible!"
Zheng Yang complimented.
"The old village chief has received the heritage of the descendants of Kochi Kosei!" Xiuru said.
"Oh?" Zhang Xuan turned to look at her.
"The old village chief went to Fan City when he was young and received his guidance. Even though he is old now, he is still the strongest expert in the village. It's a pity that you didn't get to meet him, or else you would surely be in awe of him!"
Xiuru explained.
They had only met the current village chief. In truth, the strongest person in their village was the old village chief. It was due to her cultivation with the old village chief that she had achieved her current accomplishments.
"May I know what kind of cultivation technique he practices? Did he receive the guidance of a master teacher? "Zhang Xuan asked curiously.
The heritage left behind by the descendants of Kochi Kosei was bound to be extraordinary. Even if Zhang Xuan had only come into contact with the surface of it, he should have been able to see through it with his eye of discernment.
"Master teacher?" Xiuru frowned in incomprehension.
"It's an occupation that specializes in teaching and answering the doubts of others," Zhang Xuan replied.
"I've never heard of it before …" Xiuru shook her head. "Aren't cultivation techniques supposed to be passed down in one's clan? Why would there really be someone teaching? Even if there's such a place, it should be in the Great Phrontistery of Confucianism. In any case, I've never seen it before … "
After asking a few more questions, Zhang Xuan finally realized that there was no Mingshi Tang in the Hundred Schools of Philosophers School!
In order to learn the Heaven's Path Divine Art, one had to possess the heritage of one's clan or be qualified to enter the Great Phrontistery of Confucianism.
The Great Phrontistery of Confucianism was similar to the Master Teacher Academy, but it only recruited geniuses among geniuses. The village belle before him was likely to be a hopeless case.
Back then, Yan Xue, Nangong Yuanfeng, and the others were experts of the Great Phrontistery of Confucianism.
"You're asking so many questions. Don't tell me you're planning to go to Fan City to seek opportunities? Let me tell you, it's not that simple. I've been there several times, and I haven't even seen those experts! "
Xiuru had a sympathetic expression on her face when she saw that everyone was trying to find out more.
Cultivation required cultivation techniques, but these things weren't transparent. It wasn't something that could be taught just because you wanted to learn it.
It was a coincidence that she was able to learn and gain her current strength.
Knowing that they were just a bunch of people who wanted to try their luck, they no longer had the enthusiasm from before.
Two hours later, a huge city appeared in front of them.
They had arrived at Fan City!
The village belle had described it as a massive city, but after witnessing the prosperity of the Master Teacher Continent, Zhang Xuan and the others could not help but shake their heads in disappointment.
At the very most, it was similar to Tianxuan City, but it was nothing compared to the city where the Zhang family and Mingshi Tang resided.
After passing through the security check, the group walked for a while before arriving before a massive manor. Xiuru pointed ahead and said, "That's Kochi Kosei's manor. Every day, there are many people who come here in search of opportunities. Look at those people. They're all here to learn, but it's a pity that they can only guard this place, unable to learn anything at all!"
Following her gaze, there was indeed a group of young men kneeling at the outer perimeter of the manor.
Their eyes were filled with determination. Some of them had been kneeling for too long, and their bodies were swaying uncontrollably, as if they were on the verge of collapsing.
Zhang Xuan frowned.
There were so many people who were determined to learn, but the gates of the manor were tightly shut, as if it would never open.
"Kong Shi emphasizes on imparting knowledge to the world, and the Hundred Schools of Philosophers are his students. Why doesn't he impart his cultivation technique to them?"
Zhang Xuan frowned in incomprehension.
It was precisely due to Kong Shi's magnanimity that he was able to become the World's Teacher. Since the Hundred Schools of Philosophers had imparted their heritage to him, why did they keep it to themselves and refuse to impart their cultivation technique to others?
While Zhang Xuan was still perplexed, 'jiya!', the gates creaked open, and several tall and slender figures walked out.
They were three young men and a middle-aged man. The young man looked to be in his early twenties while the middle-aged man had a stern look on his face. His cultivation was unfathomably deep.
"Great Sage expert …"
The middle-aged man was actually a Great Sage expert, and the three youths had also reached Saint 9-dan as well. They were no doubt top-notch geniuses.
"The examination of the Great Phrontistery of Confucianism is extremely strict. Remember my teachings and strive to clear it!"
Looking at the three youths before him, the middle-aged man instructed.
"Yes!"
The three of them nodded with grim looks on their faces.
"Great Phrontistery of Confucianism?"
Zhang Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
"It's the current head of the Fan Clan and his offspring! Both of them are actually going to take the Great Phrontistery of Confucianism … Incredible!"
"Those who are able to enter the Great Phrontistery of Confucianism are all geniuses among geniuses, true experts among geniuses. If I could receive a word of guidance from such a person, my death would be worth it!"
"It's a pity that cultivation techniques are not taught to outsiders. Our backgrounds are not high enough, so we can't learn it even if we wanted to!"
…
Discussions broke out all around.
Kochi Kosei was just an honorific title. His real name was Fan Xu, and the Fan Clan that everyone was talking about was the clan that had inherited the heritage of the Ancient Sages.
"Alright, have a safe trip!"
The middle-aged man waved his hand dismissively.
Hu!
The three youths flew up and flew straight into the distance, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Teacher …"
Watching as the group walked away, Zheng Yang turned to Zhang Xuan and asked.
"Un, let's follow them. If we want to uncover the secrets of this world, the Great Phrontistery of Phrontistery should be our breakthrough point!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
Nangong Yuanfeng and the others who had entered the Master Teacher Continent previously were experts from the Great Phrontistery of Confucianism. Rather than asking the village belle who wasn't particularly beautiful, he might as well follow behind them.
As long as he could enter the Great Phrontistery of Confucianism, all secrets would be nothing to him.
"Follow them? Have you taken the wrong medicine? They are Saint realm experts, and given how fast they can fly, even if my spirit beast were to break its wings, it wouldn't be able to catch up to them! In fact, I can't even see their shadows! "
Hearing their conversation, the village belle sneered coldly.
She wanted to learn from the three geniuses as well, but the two of them weren't even on the same level. The three of them were able to fly without the aid of a spirit beast, so how could she possibly learn from them?
Even if she wanted to learn from them, she should at least try to do it in a practical manner.
"Thank you for sending us here. We won't be riding on your aerial saint beast anymore. Farewell!"
Hearing those words, Zhang Xuan chuckled softly as he turned around.
Hu!
In the blink of an eye, he had already flown into the air, disappearing without a trace.
"You …"
The eyes of the village belle nearly popped out of their sockets, and her body trembled uncontrollably. She hurriedly turned to look at Zheng Yang and Wei Ruyan, only to see the two of them smiling at her.
Hu!
They vanished as well.
Putong!
Xiuru fell to the ground, completely disregarding her identity as the village belle. She was completely dumbfounded.
She had thought that the other party would be a Bronze Emperor, but who could have known that he would be a Zhizun realm cultivator?
