Half a day later, Zhang Yu returned to Rising Sun Academy from the Outer Realms.
Because most of the matters regarding the Artisans had been taken care of, he had mainly been cultivating here for the past half a month.
Yan Yuming, Zheng Yu, and Jia Yue had also been brought over by him. He had arranged for them to stay in the academy's guest house so that he could give them pointers on their cultivation at any time.
After returning to his study, he sat down and took out the talisman again.
There was a booklet under the talisman. He took it down and opened it. It talked about the things that he needed to pay attention to when he went to the Outer Realms. It was equivalent to a simple manual.
It said that around the second month of next year, someone from the Outer Realms would come to receive him. At that time, there would be someone who would explain the situation to him.
He could bring five servants and disciples with him. The number of spiritual creatures could not exceed three. However, if he had any special requests or circumstances, he could communicate with the person receiving him.
The Tianxia gold ingots from the Inner Realms could be used in the Outer Realms. The gold notes from the various Continents could also be used in the Outer Realms. However, only the person receiving the order could exchange for them. They were not allowed to directly or indirectly participate in the trade or profit from it.
Seeing this, he could not help but think.
There were frequent battles in the Outer Realms, so most of the resources should be transferred from the Inner Realms. If the person receiving the order had powerful connections and connections, then there were many things that could be done. It was no wonder that the booklet had deliberately mentioned this.
However, as the Xuanting Patrol Guard, all of his daily expenses were paid by the Xuanting. Moreover, the Xuanting would also give him a sum of gold ingots for extra expenses.
Moreover, he was also the leader of Qingyang Xuanzheng. Even if he was not in Qingyang, Qingyang Xuanfu would regularly send a portion of gold ingots to his personal treasury.
For now, it seemed that the gold ingots were enough.
As for the specific situation, he would have to see when the time came.
Finally, it said that the Outer Realms were governed by the laws of Tianxia. There was no need for the smaller laws of the Continents. As such, it reminded the person receiving the order to pay attention to the Outer Realms and not violate the laws.
After looking through these, he saw that there was nothing else he needed to pay attention to, so he put it away.
Then he took a pen and paper and wrote a letter on the spot. He called Li Qinghe in and said, "Take my flying boat and send this letter to Shi Qu Temple as soon as possible."
Li Qing He took it and said, "Qing He will go now."
After he left, Zhang Yu went to the top floor of the golden platform alone. Although it was December, it was spring all year round in the academy. The vines and trees on the glass dome were still bright and colorful.
He came to the rattan couch in front of the window and sat down cross-legged. Miao Danjun leaped down from the tree branch and landed on the soft couch. He then lay down beside Miao Danjun's leg.
He reached out and gently stroked the little leopard cat's head.
Purple vines hung outside the golden platform, contrasting with the other palaces and platforms. Because it was already the last month of the New Year, there were only twenty days left until the two-month long break. Now was undoubtedly the busiest time of the year, so whether it was the students or teachers on the road, they came and went in a hurry.
Since he entered the Qingyang Upper Continent, he had lived here most of the time. Now, almost four years had passed.
Since he was going to leave, he had to resign from the position of Mizar Academy.
He planned to bring a few servants and Miao Danjun to the manor in Liangzhou before the New Year. If there was nothing important in the future, he was afraid that he would not return here.
After enjoying a peaceful afternoon, the sky gradually darkened. The golden platforms in the academy lit up one by one, illuminating the great plains under the night sky with an endless stream of light.
Zhang Yu and Miao Danjun, one man and one cat, sat behind the wide glass wall with their backs against the vines and trees. They quietly looked at the alternation of day and night, the blending of light and darkness.
As time passed, the stars in the night sky were reflected one by one. Zhang Yu looked at the scene and felt touched. He could not help but recite, "Heavenly Hui's heart is tranquil sometimes. Half a sword is in the sheath, waiting for dawn to come out. After sitting for a night, I ask about the spring and autumn.
Light footsteps sounded behind him. Qing Xi's voice sounded, "Teacher, the banquet is ready. Would you like to have it now?"
Zhang Yu asked, "Have Qing He and Qing Shu come back?"
Qing Xi said, "They're back. They're all back."
Zhang Yu stood up and said, "Then call them up. Let's have the banquet here."
Qing Xi said yes and said, "Teacher, please wait a moment." After bowing, she retreated to make the arrangements.
Soon, Qing Shu and Li Qing He arrived. They helped Qing Xi bring out plates of exquisite dishes. Qing Xi also did not forget to bring a plate of specially concocted pills for Miao Danjun.
After Zhang Yu had them all sit down, he said, "Xuanting has already issued an edict. I will be working in the outer layer next year. That place is very vast, but I don't know where it is exactly.
However, there are frequent battles in the outer layer. It's not as peaceful as the Qingyang Academy. Qing Shu, Qing Xi, are you willing to go with me or stay here?
If you want to stay here, it's easy. I can leave a letter for Mizar Academy and arrange a suitable position for you. "
Qing Xi did not even think about it and immediately said, "Of course we'll follow Teacher."
Qing Shu also nodded and said seriously, "We're willing to follow Teacher. We all have divine robes and armors. I think we can help Teacher a little. "
Zhang Yu nodded slightly and said, "Then when the time comes, you'll come with me." As for Li Qing He, there was no need to ask. As a Xu person, he would only follow Zhang Yu for the rest of his life.
Qing Shu asked, "Teacher, will Qing Mo also come with us?"
Zhang Yu said, "It depends on his own wishes. If he wants, he can come with us. I can leave the manor property to the Xuanfu servants to take care of."
Qing Xi's eyes suddenly lit up and she suggested, "Teacher, you've been busy before. There are still many beautiful places in the Qingyang Upper Continent that you haven't seen. Why don't we visit these places before going to the outer layer? Teacher can leave behind a few more paintings. "
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. He had already visited almost all the ruins that he wanted to visit. Next, he would have to deal with the EsGod Divine Nations. However, this matter could be left to the Xuanfu cultivators. He did not have to do it personally. This suggestion was not bad, so he nodded and said, "Let's do it this way."
After this matter was settled, he stopped talking about it and began to taste the delicious food on the table.
After the banquet, he asked Miao Danjun to play by himself. He returned to the secret room and took out the sword embryo that Taoist Lin gave him.
When he received the message to rescue Xuanfu, in order to save Yun Chen in time, he released the Cicada Sword first. He only used the visualization diagram to deal with Tang Feng, who had swallowed the blood pill.
Although this did not affect his fighting ability, if he still had a sword by his side at that time, the battle might have ended long ago.
It should be known that he had cultivated the power of "Cutting All Things". In theory, he could use any sword in his hand. It was not necessary for him to use the Cicada Sword. It was just that it was not a sword that could be used with the body and mind, so it might not be so compatible with him.
And this time, when he went to the outer layer, because there were frequent battles there, he might encounter similar situations.
Therefore, he planned to use this "sword embryo" to cultivate it into another sword. He did not need to ask for the Cicada Sword. As long as he could control the sword to a very far place, there would be another sword that could be used to fight the enemy.
Of course, if he could cultivate the Art of Splitting Sword Light, there would be no need to use this method.
However, that kind of sword technique was usually only in the hands of a few true cultivators. Moreover, it needed to be combined with a suitable true cultivation technique. Even if it was placed in front of him, he might not be able to learn it.
Therefore, even if he wanted to ask for it, he could only think of a way to do it from the royal seal. This was not something that could be done overnight. Instead, building another sword was the easiest.
Even if he did not use this sword in the future, he could give it to a friend of the younger generation.
At this moment, he stretched out his hand and gently tapped the sword embryo. A crisp sound immediately came from the sword embryo and a bit of light seeped into it. It was like a water stain on a piece of paper that spread across the sword embryo. However, the light quickly disappeared.
He nodded and gripped the sword embryo. An even greater amount of Heart Energy poured into the sword. In an instant, the sword embryo slowly blossomed along with the light in his heart. Very quickly, the entire secret chamber was illuminated. As he breathed, the light also flickered in the room.
This was the process of tempering the sword embryo. When the sword embryo had completely adapted to his Qi activity, breathing, and even the strength of his Heart Light, it would be branded with his brand. Only then could it truly be used by him.
This process continued for a day and a night. Suddenly, an incomparably bright light flashed. Then, following his Heart Light, it instantly condensed into a long sword that was constantly flickering.
He raised his finger and tapped it lightly. Different from before, this sword body produced a dull sound. He nodded. This was the sword embryo harmonizing with the Heart Light and Qi activity that he had sealed within it. When it was completely over, this sword would break out of the embryo and be reborn. It would be time for it to completely awaken.
He placed the sword embryo to the side. Then, he stood up and walked to the side. He looked at the metallic silver ball on the table.
It was about time for Zhi Jian's true spirit to open up.
Actually, he knew that Zhi Jian's true spirit had already been awakened long ago. It was just that it was still unwilling to come out.
Previously, he did not use it because he sensed that this true spirit was afraid of seeing the outside world. Thus, he was willing to give it some time to adapt. Moreover, he relied entirely on himself in battle. There was no urgent need for him to use this thing.
However, after his conversation with that young Daoist, he felt that it was extremely likely that he would have to find a way to open up the path of Dao. Zhi Jian's true spirit, as an existence that could gather and integrate information from the outside world, might be able to help him here.
Right now, under his gaze, this thing did not move at all.
However, he knew that this thing knew that it had been exposed. Right now, it clearly still wanted to struggle a little more.
He said calmly, "Come out."
Unexpectedly, Zhi Jian's true spirit swayed. It released a tender voice, "I'm not coming out!"
