This was the small hunting ground closest to the Wind Cave.
They were all small Star Fallen Beasts like fire chipmunks, so they were not dangerous to the students of the academy.
Everyone landed on top of a rock, surrounded by the shadows of trees that had already withered and turned yellow. A cool breeze blew on the young but determined faces of the group.
Just the faint aura they emitted was enough to deter the nearby Star Fall Beasts from approaching them.
Ye Qinglan looked around and said, "All things are born in nature. Cultivation is also in nature. And Sword Taoism is an insignificant part of it. I don't want to teach you because I'm afraid that you will be misled by me. Everyone has their own path. A mason can't be a winemaker. Similarly, a winemaker can't be a mason. Every seemingly ordinary job has its uniqueness. This uniqueness is what I'm going to talk about today. "
"Of course." She smiled. "If any of you are willing to switch to Sword Taoism, I'll be happy to give you some advice."
Everyone would probably only focus on one thing in their life, because being distracted for too long was bound to not be able to achieve much. Those who were able to enter the academy all had a strong belief in their own path of cultivation. They believed that this path was the truth, that this path was the Great Dao that led to the heavens.
Without this belief, they would never be able to get to where they were today.
As far as Yan Li was concerned, he could lose confidence in anything, but he would never waver in the slightest in what he had cultivated.
"So, now I'll lead you to appreciate the real nature. Relax your body and mind, and don't resist."
A blue divine light rose from Ye Qinglan's body and covered all the students.
Yan Li listened to him and relaxed his mind. In the next moment, he felt that his field of vision was lifted up. This feeling was as if he had suddenly become a giant that could support the heavens and the earth, overlooking all living things in the world and all forms of life.
The world was so magical and magnificent.
Looking down from a certain height, he could see the bleakness of autumn. Everything began to decay bit by bit, and there was a kind of incomplete beauty.
Beauty was beauty, but it was evil!
Following the incomplete beauty, there was only incompleteness, but no beauty.
Time seemed to be speeding up, and it was already late autumn.
The chrysanthemums of late autumn had already withered, and there seemed to be no more vitality in the world. The cold wind froze everything that could be frozen, and snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
However, the snowflakes were not lonely. In the pure white snow, there was a dot of blood red. That was the unyielding and unyielding snow plum. It stuck out its small chest and bloomed in the winter.
Flowers were born to change, to change into fruits.
Soon, it was spring again, and summer was scorching hot.
Just like that, the four seasons alternated and cycled endlessly.
When Yan Li saw this, a wonderful feeling suddenly rose in his heart. He was immersed in that wonderful feeling, so he didn't notice the change in his vision.
As mentioned in the preface, the so-called martial arts cultivation was a process of constant change.
Things that are unchanging will never improve.
The changes of the four seasons were deeply displayed in front of Yan Li, allowing him to have a deeper understanding of the changes.
In the chaotic world, the originally calm Source Sea suddenly surged. The Gate of Heaven opened, and infinite starlight shone on the Source Sea, as if it was a reflection of the starry sky.
At this moment, the Source Sea finally reached the vivid state.
Although he was only one step away from the gate, and although he had tried very hard to understand the mystery, he still couldn't break through the last layer of window paper. However, Ye Qinglan's one move was more effective than the lessons of all the instructors in the academy.
When Yan Li opened his eyes, he found that it was already sunset, and all the students around had left. Ye Qinglan stood on the rock with her hands behind her back to him.
"First of all, congratulations on breaking through the realm." She seemed to be able to see Yan Li waking up.
"Thank you, Hill Master!" Yan Li cupped his fists and saluted as a disciple.
"I'm not the only one who is special to you. Everyone in the academy has a share." Ye Qinglan turned around and looked at Yan Li. "Among them, you are the only one who can break through the realm. It's a matter of course. This is my duty. It's not a big deal."
Yan Li said, "When I first heard about the academy, I thought it was a place where all the forces competed. I didn't expect Qixia to be so unique. I've really benefited a lot."
Ye Qinglan instantly laughed and said, "It's just a lucky chance. You can't find another place like Qixia in the world. Among them, the Big Corner Academy is the most secretive. People like you will be kicked out within three days if you go in. "
Yan Li smiled and asked, "Why did the Mountain Chieftain ask me to stay?"
Ye Qinglan said softly, "Can you tell me where did you get the Sword Concealment Spell?"
"Well …" Yan Li was shocked. After thinking for a while, he said solemnly, "I don't want to deceive you with a groundless lucky chance. But it's not easy to tell you. Please forgive me, Hill Master."
Ye Qinglan turned around indifferently and said lightly, "Everyone has their own lucky chance and can't be forced. Do you think I'll do something bad to you? I don't want to ask about the Cangjian Peak. I keep you here because I have something to ask you to do. "
"Oh?" Yan Li said.
"When you go to the capital, find a person for me. His name is Shen Wanzhou." Ye Qinglan said, "He should be working in the Dragon Emperor Mansion now."
"After you find him," she turned around and handed a letter to Yan Li, "give this to him. He'll understand what I mean."
"Send a letter?" Yan Li said.
"Is there a problem?" Ye Qinglan asked.
"That's not it." Yan Li said with a strange expression, "What virtue or ability does this kid have to deliver a letter for Hill Master?"
Ye Qinglan smiled and said, "I have my reasons for this. Chen Wanzhou is a disciple I took in a long time ago. He was expelled by me because he broke the rules of the sect. Disciples of our sect are not allowed to have any contact with him. You are not a disciple of our sect."
"I see." Yan Li understood.
"Go back." Ye Qinglan waved her long sleeves and left with Yan Li.
…
The night was as cold as water.
"The candidates for the Soaring Dragon List have been decided. There are a dozen of them." Huang Shaoyu said while gnawing on a chicken wing, "This time, the school did a good job and won so many places for us. It's a pity that you didn't go. Otherwise, the four of us could go to the capital together. "
Lianhai Changjin took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "We can't get together for a while. In the future, when you stop, why don't you come to the Wind Cave Mansion and have a drink together?"
"Oh, we can go to the Cloud Pavilion together. It's still early." Huang Shaoyu sighed. "Alas! I didn't expect time to pass so fast. " He clinked glasses with Lianhai Changjin and said, "Tomorrow, we'll set off for the Dragon Emperor Realm. We must drink until we're drunk."
"I wish you all a good ranking in advance." Lianhai Changjin drank up the wine and took out a booklet from her Qiankun Bag. "Brother Yan, this is what you asked me to investigate. It's the examination questions for the past 20 years."
Yan Li took it and saw a list of names on it. They were "The Saint Is Absent", "Establishing the Son of Heaven", "On Holy Writings", "Discourse", and "Cultivation".
After reading it, he handed it to Yu Qiuyu and said, "I see. It seems that it's not just about cultivation."
"Yes." Lianhai Changjin said, "A person's cultivation philosophy is more important than his cultivation aptitude. That's probably what it means. However, there are plenty of people with good aptitude who don't know how to write essays. "
"For example, me." Huang Shaoyu said sadly, "Writing essays? That has never been associated with this young master. Why do I need to know how to write essays to get a good ranking? This young master has extraordinary aptitude. No matter what, I should at least get third place."
"Oh?" Lianhai Changjin smiled. "Then who are the first and second?"
Huang Shaoyu glanced at Yu Qiuyu, then at Yan Li, and sighed. "In any case, it won't be these two."
Yan Li said, "You guys drink. I'm going to meet someone."
"Meet who?" Huang Shaoyu narrowed his eyes. "It can't be Mister, right? You're too cunning to meet with Mister in private. No, I'm going with you!"
"Drink your wine." Yan Li glared at him.
…
The person Yan Li wanted to meet was indeed Gu Caiwei. Not only did he want to meet her, but he also wanted to "gift" her an Elemental Crystal.
Gu Caiwei also seemed to have a premonition. The clear ripples in her beautiful eyes also gave birth to a trace of natural charm.
"Here." Yan Li pushed the box containing the Elemental Crystal over the table.
"Are you really that kind?" Gu Caiwei opened the box slightly and confirmed that there was indeed a genuine Elemental Crystal inside.
Yan Li smiled and said, "Now, you've seen my sincerity."
"You definitely have something to ask." Gu Caiwei looked at the lid of the box lightly. "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Yan Li said lecherously, "A beautiful woman like you, as a normal man, what do you think I want?"
Gu Caiwei's beautiful eyes turned cold, but she still smiled charmingly and said, "I didn't expect that you're the same as those stinky men, thinking about my beauty. But are you sure you want to do this?"
"Then you're looking down on me too much." Yan Li suddenly became cold. "I can give you the Elemental Crystal, but it's a bridge."
"What bridge?" Gu Caiwei said.
"The bridge that connects Swallow Dock and Lotus Seat." Yan Li said.
"What do you mean?" Gu Caiwei said.
