Hui Yuanwu left Green Sun Xuanfu and came to a platform in An Shouyi. Here, a white-haired cultivator was holding a big pot, as if he was boiling something. The pot emitted a strong medicinal smell.
The white-haired cultivator sensed his arrival and raised his head with a smile. "Old Wu, why did you take so long this time? Did you find a suitable fellow Daoist? "
He was just asking casually, but Hui Yuanwu nodded his head Solemnly.
"Oh?"
The white-haired cultivator was surprised. He put down what he was doing and asked, "Is there really a suitable person? Who is it? Have I seen him before? "
Hui Yuanwu shook his head. "This person just returned from the overseas protectorate."
Daoist Huan was startled, but his expression was slightly disappointed. "Those fellow Daoists who returned from overseas, even if they have noble spirits, their battle ability is far inferior to the cultivators of those Daoist sects. How can they be of help to us?"
Hui Yuanwu said with a serious expression, "Old Qi, this person is different. Even if he doesn't understand the small seal, his methods are not ordinary. I verified with him in the Spell Discussion Hall, but I lost to him the moment we met."
The white-haired cultivator was slightly shocked. He looked at him and said, "You were careless?"
Hui Yuanwu walked to the side and sat on a stone stool. "I wasn't careless."
The white-haired cultivator's interest was piqued. With a thought, he expelled the medicinal smoke from his body. He walked in front of the white-haired cultivator and sat down on another stone stool. "Tell me about it."
Hui Yuanwu didn't hide anything and repeated the battle between him and Zhang Yu. He said, "Later on, I discussed with 'Huo Yang'. It said that this person's mind light power is at least several times stronger than mine. Especially the seal power, it's mysterious and unknown. I've never seen it before. Even if we fought a few more times, I would still lose. Moreover, when he gets used to my battle, if I have new methods, I won't have any chance of winning."
"So powerful?"
The white-haired cultivator was even more interested. He thought for a while and said, "What does this person think of those Daoist sects?"
Huiyuan Wu said, "I tried to reveal some information, but this person didn't comment on it. It's just that we just met and didn't have much trust in each other, so I couldn't tell too much. However, I feel that he isn't on the same side as those people."
The white-haired cultivator said, "That's right, we can't rush this matter. We can deal with it slowly in the future" He thought for a moment and said, "When this pot of 'Cleansing Pills' is finished, Old Wu, you can bring some over."
Huito Takeshi looked at him and joked, "Old Qi, you're really willing? You've been refining this pill for seven years. "
The white-haired cultivator smiled. "What's there to be reluctant about? Pills aren't meant to be used by humans. If they can really fulfill the aspirations of my generation, even if I have to give up my old life, it will be worth it. "
Huito Takeshi also nodded and said in a deep voice, "Those Daoist sects are the parasites of Qingyang Xuan Continent. They collude with the military and control the communication channels with other continents. They monopolize all kinds of secret techniques and seals, but they suppress those who don't want to join them and expand their own forces. If we don't get rid of them completely, our Xuanxiu of Qingyang Xuan Continent will never be able to stand out!"
In a guest pavilion of Qingyang Xuanfu, Zhang Yu sat in the lakeside pavilion and was flipping through the visualization diagrams in his consciousness. Outside the window, a breeze blew in from time to time. There were green bamboos swaying gently, and there was a soft rustling sound of branches and leaves.
After looking through 300 visualization diagrams, he found that none of them were suitable for him.
These visualization diagrams at most included the Four Righteous Seals. Not to mention the Six Righteous Seals, there wasn't even a single one that involved the Five Righteous Seals.
If it was convenient to communicate with other continents, he could go elsewhere to search. Unfortunately, he couldn't do that now, so he could only think of a way himself.
Huito Takeshi's idea was to ask the Hun Xiu for it, but he didn't think he needed to do that. He was a Xuan Xiu cultivator, and as long as he had enough Divine Essence, he could ask the Hun Xiu himself.
However, in the end, it was still about Divine Essence.
In the past few days, he had been looking through the records of predecessors. The situation was unclear now, but 60 years ago, there were ruins of various eras everywhere outside of Qingyang Xuan Continent. He should be able to find Divine Essence there. However, once he left the area covered by the great banyan tree, he would have to face all kinds of humanoid kingdoms and EsGod monsters.
To do this, he needed to make some preparations in advance. It would be best if there were detailed records and maps, so he could avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Logically speaking, the Xuanfu of every place had the responsibility to fight against supernatural forces, so they should be able to find these things. Unfortunately, Qingyang Xuanfu was now an empty shell, empty and deserted. There weren't many people coming and going, let alone finding these things.
While he was thinking, there was a sound of water splashing. A red carp jumped high from the lake beside the pavilion, and then fell into the water with a splash, splashing a lot of water.
Miao Danjun squatted on the railing and stared at the carp's figure.
Zhang Yu stood up and patted its head. At this time, footsteps came, and a servant came to the pavilion. He saluted and said, "Martial Uncle Zhang, Master Ming Shan is back. He said that the matter has been settled and that you don't have to worry."
He handed over a letter. "This is what Master asked me to give to Martial Uncle Zhang."
Zhang Yu opened the letter and saw that it was sent by Su Qian. She said that she would use a flying boat to send the people from Dongting Xuanfu and his two attendants to Wei County. She also said that there was something she wanted to discuss with him. If it was convenient, they could meet at Wei County.
He glanced at the date at the end of the letter. It was sent two days ago, so they should have arrived at Wei County by now.
He changed his mind. There was no point in staying in Xuanfu right now, so he might as well go to Wei County first.
After making his decision, he asked the servant to thank Daoist Ming Shan on his behalf. Then, he packed up and left Qingyang Xuanfu on a boat. He leaped into the air and turned into a green rainbow, heading towards Wei County.
However, no one stopped him when he flew in An Shou Yi. As soon as he left the city, he saw a white Flood Dragon fly over. Its gaze swept over him, but the Xuan Jade on his body reflected a ray of light. After the Flood Dragon saw it, it ignored him and leaped into the air again.
Because the two places weren't far apart, he arrived outside Wei County after about a hundred breaths. From afar, he saw rows of large pagodas that were suffused with a deep blue luster that pierced the clouds.
Considering that this was a heavily guarded area, it would be troublesome to continue flying. Thus, he landed far away and walked along the main road into the city.
According to Su Qian's letter, the group should be stopping at the flying boat docks in Wei County. Thus, after he confirmed the direction, he directly headed there.
About fifteen minutes later, he saw a man-made mountain. It was about five hundred zhang tall and extended for more than ten li on both sides. On top of it, there were orderly rows of docks. They were all covered with colored glass on the outside and were planted with green trees and flowers.
He directly walked in through the huge trapezoidal door that was left on the mountain. When he raised his head to look, he saw that the four walls were all honeycomb-shaped entrances and exits. There were creatures that looked like bees going in and out from time to time, carrying goods.
These bees were about half the size of a person. They were completely gold in color and looked very delicate and beautiful. When they flapped their wings, they would only make a soft sound. They didn't feel noisy and instead felt very comfortable.
At this moment, a subordinate came up to ask him. After he reported his name, the other party asked him to wait for a moment. Not long after, Wen Yi walked over from afar and bowed to him. She said, "Zhang Shijun, the commandant asked me to come and welcome you."
Zhang Yu nodded. "Thank you for your trouble."
Wen Yi brought him to a colored glass passageway. When they reached the inside, two jade discs flew over. She first asked Zhang Yu to stand on one before she stood on it herself. The jade discs moved and silently brought the two of them along the passageway.
Wen Yi said, "Dongting Xuanfu's Xuanxiu and Shijun's two attendants are now arranged in the pavilion of Wei County's Returning Office. We can go through the underground passageway here. Does Shijun want to go there first?"
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Since we're here, let's go and see Commandant Su."
Wen Yi acknowledged and the jade discs changed directions, turning into another passageway. Not long after, the two of them reached the end. The cabin door on the passageway opened and revealed a small internal docking platform. On top of it was a long, bright silver flying boat.
At this moment, Su Qian was standing outside the docking platform to welcome them. Behind her were two soldiers. When Zhang Yu walked over, she cupped her fists and said, "Zhang Shijun, greetings.
Zhang Yu raised his sleeve and returned the greeting.
After the two of them exchanged greetings, Su Qian invited Zhang Yu into the main cabin of the flying boat. After they sat down on a soft chair, she ordered someone to bring tea and some exquisite desserts.
The two of them exchanged greetings for a while. Zhang Yu said, "Commandant Su said in her letter that she had something to discuss with me. What is it?"
Su Qian raised her slender finger and drew in the air. One of the walls in the cabin changed and the entire territory of the twenty-three prefectures of the Qingyang Upper Continent appeared. On top of it, there were also dozens of light spots.
She said, "These are the academies that are related to all the military residences in the Qingyang Upper Continent. Among them, the Mizar Academy in Gaozhou was established by the Lingxiao Army two hundred years ago to provide talents for the Lingxiao Army. Today, it is one of the three largest academies in the Qingyang Upper Continent."
She looked at Zhang Yu and said sincerely, "I've heard that Zhang Shijun used to be a teacher in the Taiyang Academy of the Dongting Protectorate. Therefore, I would like to invite Zhang Shijun to teach in the Mizar Academy."
Zhang Yu said, "I specialize in ancient natural history. Most of the things I know are related to the Dongting Protectorate. I'm afraid I can't teach anything in a place like the Mizar Academy."
Su Qian said, "Zhang Shijun, we don't want to invite you to teach natural history. The Lingxiao Army has a tradition of inviting Xuanxiu to be the head teacher and teach the students how to fight against the mysterious forces. At the same time, he will teach some combat techniques."
Zhang Yu said, "If it's just a small matter, I don't think I'm needed."
Su Qian nodded and said, "Yes, because sometimes the students will leave the Qingyang Upper Continent and go to the outer region full of monsters to gain experience. During this time, the head teacher will be needed to protect and guide them. The Lingxiao Army has a recommendation quota, but we haven't found a suitable person. Among the middle-level cultivators I know, only Zhang Shijun has the most trustworthy character. Therefore, I recommended Zhang Shijun to the academy."
Zhang Yu heard this and thought for a while. He said, "Are there other cultivators?
Su Qian said, "Zhang Shijun is not the only one. The academy usually invites other cultivators to take care of this matter. However, Xuanxiu was recommended by the military residences and the prefectures."
Zhang Yu thought for a while and immediately understood that this was related to some factional conflicts.
Su Qian looked at him and said, "We know about Xuanxiu's taboos, so we won't delay your cultivation. The academy will also do its best to help Zhang Shijun. For example, the Tianji Division has people permanently stationed in the academy. If Zhang Shijun needs anything, as long as it has a legitimate use, we can directly make it for you."
Zhang Yu thought for a while. He owed Su Qian a favor, and now he was lacking information about the Qingyang Upper Continent. If he went to the Mizar Academy, this problem could be solved. After all, it involved the military, so the records in this area would be the most complete.
As for the factional conflicts, cultivators were always fighting against the heavens. He didn't care about this at all.
Therefore, he said, "If it's just this, I can agree."
Su Qian heard him agree and showed a happy expression. She said, "Then it's settled."
