Canglan Prefecture is located in the northern part of Huayu. As you travel northward, the temperature gradually drops. If the winter in Nanming Prefecture is still slightly warm, the winter in Canglan Prefecture is extremely cold and icy, often blowing.

With vast amounts of snow.

Yu Ling basically stayed in the carriage to practice. Occasionally he woke up and just looked at the scenery outside through the window. At his request, the middle-aged man driving the car increased the speed to the fastest, and rarely rested on the road.

Although the big man was slightly displeased, after Yu Ling paid twice as much for the ride, he stopped complaining and became even more diligent.

After hurrying and hurrying, I finally arrived at Canglan City in Canglan Prefecture on the last day of February. The academy is located in the east district of the city.

Yu Ling got off the carriage and took a breath of cold air. He felt sober in an instant. Canglan Prefecture was indeed much more prosperous than Nanming Prefecture, at least the flow of people was not comparable there. He just walked around at will.

Within a few streets, I saw several masters of the Tongxuan Realm, and there were even more cultivators of the Nourishing Qi Realm.

There were inns and restaurants everywhere, and Yu Ling randomly chose one as a place to stay. In terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, he wasn't that particular.

"Hey, the academy will recruit students again tomorrow, will your family go?"

As soon as Yu Ling entered the inn, he saw a burly middle-aged man at the table opposite and said with joy. His companion was a middle-aged scribe who looked weak and elegant. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "That kid didn't listen to advice, he is so weak.

If you still have to run and try, I can't stop you."

"Tsk, tsk, Old Zhou, you are going against your will by saying this! Your Zhou Sheng is only thirteen this year, and he has already become a master of Qi-nourishing realm. Passing the combat strength test will definitely not be a problem. When the time comes, he will become a disciple of the academy, and I will too

What a great honor!" The burly man laughed.

Many people in the Wenyan Inn looked over, with astonishment in their eyes. The thirteen-year-old Qi-nourishing masters were all top-notch in Huayu. Many of the geniuses who participated in the entrance examination of the academy were basically fourteen years old, and most of them were in danger.

Squeeze in according to the age line.

There was a touch of pride on the middle-aged scribe's face, but he still said modestly: "Where, Sheng'er can only be considered to have some talent, but it is far from being compared with those top geniuses. I heard that this time a certain genius from Honglian State

It’s amazing that he was promoted to Qi-nurturing realm at the age of only eleven, and his name seems to be Liu Xiyue.”

Hearing this name, people in the inn immediately started talking. It was obvious that Liu Xiyue was quite famous.

"It seems that there are many monster-level geniuses this year. For example, our two local brothers from the Ying family in Canglan Prefecture entered the Qi-nurturing realm at the age of twelve."

"Alas, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Looking at these young people, I can no longer accept my old age."

"You have also missed one person, Bai Muhan from the Bai family in Xunwu Prefecture! This child is only twelve this year. Although he does not cultivate spiritual power, he is a master of soul refining and has already entered the early stage of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. Everyone knows that,

Holy Soul Masters naturally restrain Qi Practitioners, but Bai Muhan is invincible in the Qi Nourishing Realm."

"When you say that, I also think of a person, Yan Suiyue, who is as famous as Bai Muhan in Xunwu Province! This young man does not cultivate spiritual power, but takes the body refining route. He is already in the early stage of bone refining, and he has just restrained himself.

A soul master in the Heavenly Spirit Realm.”

"No more, no more, as I continue to listen to this, I just feel like I have spent a lot of my life on a pig. You said that we have been practicing for decades and are still stuck at the peak of the Qi-nourishing realm. How can we compare with these young children!

"

"I can't help it. I will shed tears if I talk too much. There are too many monsters in the world." A middle-aged man with a rough face sighed.

Yu Ling casually found a table in the corner, listened to everyone's discussion, and roughly understood some of the situation. Every year when the academy recruits disciples, thousands of talented young people come in, but the final quota is only less than a hundred. This year, everyone is generally optimistic about it.

There are Liu Xiyue, Ying Luoyan, Ying Luoxuan, Bai Muhan, Yan Suiyue, etc. The middle-aged scribe's son Zhou Sheng is also pretty good.

After passing the initial spiritual power test, a combat prowess assessment will be conducted. The presiding officers of the assessment are all senior brothers and sisters from previous years. They will suppress the strength to the same level as the challenger. The challenger only needs to persist for ten minutes to pass.

This method seems very simple, but which of the senior brothers and sisters in the past years is more fuel-efficient? Although the spiritual power is suppressed, the realm is different and the fighting skills are much better. It is already difficult for newcomers to remain undefeated.

.

Just as he was listening intently, the tabletop was suddenly tapped, and then a lazy voice rang out: "Hey brother, can I sit across from you for a while?"

Yu Ling looked up and saw a handsome fourteen-year-old boy looking at him inquiringly with a bright smile on his face. He was dressed in fiery red clothes and had a lazy aura between his brows. Why?

He looked like a playboy. But for some reason, when he saw the other person, Yu Ling suddenly felt a sense of intimacy for no reason, which made him feel baffled.

"Whatever." Yu Ling said in an extremely concise and authentic manner. The boy in red immediately sat down opposite him unceremoniously, and came closer and said familiarly: "My name is Nian Yubai, what do you call me brother?"

Yu Ling was not used to the other party's misuse of the word "brother", but he was not interested in correcting him. He just said lightly: "Yu Ling." Canglan Prefecture is thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, and he is making a fuss here.

No matter how bad the news was, it wouldn't reach there, so Yu Ling didn't bother to cover it up and just used her real name.

"Yu Ling, Yu Ling? Your parents are very brave. They gave you such a domineering name. It's not like the one in my family... My name sounds like a girl. It makes me very depressed." Nian Yubai kept talking,

Continuously.

Yu Ling felt that the other party was overly enthusiastic, so he did not answer the call. However, he underestimated Nian Yubai's familiarity with him. He saw Nian Yubai take his tea cup without politeness, then drank it all in one gulp, and then threw the empty cup away.

He put the cup in front of Yu Ling and said with satisfaction: "Huh, after talking so much, I'm really thirsty. The tea in this small place is pretty good."

"Hey, Brother Yu, are you here to take the academy assessment too?" Nian Yubai saw that Yu Ling didn't speak, but he still said with great interest. Yu Ling finally could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, and said lightly: "Yes."

"Why do you never speak more than two words to me? It's so heartbreaking!" Nian Yubai looked at Yu Ling aggrievedly: "By the way, I felt a sense of intimacy when I saw you, so I said so much in one breath.

, can you give me some reaction?"

Yu Ling's heart skipped a beat, was it a coincidence? When he saw Nian Yubai, he also felt a sense of intimacy for no reason, so he had the patience to listen to him talk so much. If it had been anyone else, he would have turned around and left.

"I am not familiar with this foreign country. Since we are so destined, why not become friends together so that we can take care of each other when we enter the academy, don't you think?" Nian Yubai said with a smile.
