Volume 1: I Have a Sword
Two days later.
In the inn, Bai Mo was sitting in the lobby downstairs eating, when Xu Zimu suddenly walked into the inn.
"Eat quickly, we should set off after eating!" Xu Zimu said looking at Bai Mo who was feasting.
"Hmm! Wait a moment!" Bai Mo said vaguely while eating his rice.
After a while, when he was full of wine and food, Bai Mo wiped his mouth and left the inn directly, heading out of the city with Xu Zimu.
As soon as Bai Mo, Xu Zimu and others left Lucheng, two figures followed them. It was Li Suifeng and Xiang Tianwen who had a conflict with Bai Mo that day.
The two of them watched Bai Mo and Xu Zimu leave Lucheng together, and they did not dare to get too close. They just followed from a distance, planning to wait for Bai Mo and Xu Zimu to separate before they would teach Bai Mo a lesson.
On the road, Bai Mo and Xu Zimu rode side by side on horseback, and the two kept chatting about something.
"I still don't know how to call the city lord?" Bai Mo asked.
"Xu Zimu, the third oldest person in Lucheng!" Xu Zimu said.
"City Master Xu, thank you very much this time!" Bai Mo cupped his hands and thanked Xu Zimu.
"What's your name, City Master Xu? If you'd like to call me third brother, you don't need to thank me. I'm just following your elder brother's orders!" Xu Zimu waved his hand and said to Bai Mo.
"Great City Lord? Didn't my father ask you to take care of me?" Bai Mo asked.
"I don't know your father. Your father asked my elder brother to take care of you. My elder brother was too lazy to take care of these things, so he asked me to pay more attention to it!" Xu Zimu explained.
"I still have to thank Third Brother!" Bai Mo thanked him again.
"You brat!" Xu Zimu laughed helplessly and continued, "You are quite powerful at a young age, and you actually have the cultivation level of the late stage of Qi training!"
"It's just a fluke!" Bai Mo said modestly.
"The talent is extremely high, the mood is good, and the future is promising!"
"Third brother is so complimentary!"
"This is not a compliment, do you know why no cultivator has ever been able to achieve foundation building before the age of sixteen!" Xu Zimu said to Bai Mo.
"Oh, what's the reason for this? Please give me some advice from Third Brother." Bai Mo asked.
"Before the age of sixteen, the human race's body is not fully developed, and practicing qi is actually laying the foundation for future cultivation. In fact, the real cultivation begins with building the foundation, and the human race can only really start practicing from the age of sixteen.
road.
Therefore, many people can reach the peak of Qi training before the age of sixteen. After the age of sixteen, they can directly break through the Qi training and reach the foundation building level in one fell swoop.
There are more geniuses who can reach the peak of qi training earlier, but they still cannot break through to the foundation building stage earlier, but continuing to practice can make these people's foundation more solid, and even reach the small perfection of qi training.
As for the legendary Great Perfection of Qi training, I’m afraid there are even fewer people who can do it!”
Xu Zimu said a lot in one breath, and Bai Mo realized that there were so many things to say about Qi training, and that there were actually two smaller realms above the peak realm.
"Then why haven't I heard of any of this stuff before?"
"It shouldn't be! After all, the Bai family is such a big family of cultivators, so the library must have records of these essays!" Xu Zimu was also a little confused after hearing Bai Mo's words.
After hearing Xu Zimu's words, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Bai Mo's face, thinking to himself, I can't tell you that I was too playful before and never read these books properly!
Although I stayed in the family library for a whole year after I introduced the spirit, I only read the martial arts and combat skills that year, and I didn’t read any other books!
Seeing Bai Mo's expression, Xu Zimu smiled and said directly: "After you enter Sancai College, just stay in the college and study hard for a few years. There are many subjects in the college, and you can learn a lot. You can study hard in the college these few years.
Just the basics!”
After saying this, Xu Zimu pinched the horse's belly and asked the horses under him to speed up a little, and then said to everyone: "Everyone should speed up and try to reach Qingyun City today."
After he finished speaking, he drove the horse all the way to the northwest. After hearing the words, everyone followed him one after another. Bai Mo thought in his mind that he should go to learn something, and then he followed the horse with his belly.
At one time, more than a dozen horses galloped away on the road, sending up billows of smoke and dust, and soon disappeared from sight.
Half a month later........
Xu Zimu brought Bai Mo to the outside of Sancai Academy. Looking at the stone tablet in front of him with the two characters Sancai engraved on it, Xu Zimu said to Bai Mo, "This is Sancai Academy!"
Bai Mo looked at the stone tablet in front of him and the archway with the name Sancai Academy written on it, and thought to himself, "I know, I'm not blind!" Of course, this was just Bai Mo's inner thoughts and he did not say them out.
At this time, Xu Zimu had another envelope in his hand, handed it to Bai Mo and said: "Here is a letter of recommendation issued to you. You can use this letter of recommendation to participate in the college's entrance examination. As long as you pass the examination, you can enter the academy to study?
"
"Will this assessment be difficult?" Bai Mo asked with a smile.
"It's easy to pass the assessment based on your strength, as long as you don't mess around!" Xu Zimu said.
"Okay, thank you third brother, I've troubled you all the way!" After saying that, he handed the reins in his hand to Xu Zimu.
"It doesn't matter, I have something to go to Lizhou and I'll leave first!" After saying that, Xu Zimu rode away.
After watching Xu Zimu leave Bai Mo, he turned and walked directly towards the academy.
"Uncle Xiang, that kid is about to enter the academy! Go and stop him!" Seeing Xu Zimu leaving and Bai Mo also about to enter the academy, Li Suifeng, who was following him all the way, became a little anxious.
After Li Suifeng finished speaking, Xiang Tianwen was about to take action when a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
"If you dare to take a step, you will be killed!" The figure stood in front of the two of them and looked at them indifferently.
"Three City Lords!" Xiang Tianwen bowed his hands and saluted.
"You followed me all the way, do you really think I didn't notice you? If you dare to take action now, do you really want to die?" Xu Zimu said indifferently.
"So what if I find out, that guy humiliated me in Lucheng and extorted my spirit stones. I just want to take revenge on him!" Li Suifeng yelled unwillingly.
"Pah!" There was a sound, and a slap mark appeared directly on Li Suifeng's face, and then he heard Xu Zimu's voice: "You are too noisy!" Xu Zimu even picked his ears as he spoke.
"I don't believe you can keep guarding him. I must avenge this!" Li Suifeng said angrily.
"You can seek revenge from him at any time. I will never stop you, but..." At this point, Xu Zimu suddenly stopped, turned to look at Xiang Tianwen and said slowly: "This is a matter between juniors.
, if you dare to interfere, I will kill you!"
At the end of his speech, Xu Zimu pointed his finger at Xiang Tianwen, and then a sharp sword energy flew past Xiang Tianwen's neck.
Xiang Tianwen hurriedly bent down and cupped his hands and said, "Just follow the orders of the three city lords!"
After the words fell, Xu Zimu disappeared directly in front of the two of them. Li Suifeng stared at the place where Xu Zimu was standing and said unwillingly: "Why, that kid is just a casual cultivator, how can he be appreciated by Xu Zimu!"
"Young master, why should you be angry? Didn't Xu Zimu also say that the young master can take revenge at any time, but I can't take action." Xiang Tianwen said from the side.
"But..." Li Suifeng seemed to want to say something more, but was directly interrupted by Xiang Tianwen.
"It's nothing but, if this kid really passes the exam and enters the academy, wouldn't the young master still not find a chance to take revenge on this kid?"
"Okay, then wait until this kid enters the academy. I'm looking for an opportunity!" After saying that, he left here directly.
............
Bai Mo arrived at the college's assessment point. At this time, the place was already crowded with people. Not far away, there were specialized personnel registering the students who came for the assessment.
Bai Mo walked over. The instructor sitting there glanced at Bai Mo and said directly: "Do you have a letter of recommendation?"
After hearing this, Bai Mo directly took out the recommendation letter Xu Zimu gave to him and handed it to the instructor who just spoke.
The teacher opened the recommendation letter, took a look at it, and then said to Bai Mo, "Name?"
"White ink."
"age?"
"Twelve years old."
After a simple question and answer, the tutor was registered for Bai Mo. He pointed to the open space on the side and said: "Okay, go over there and wait for a while. The assessment will start at the same time. I will notify you when the time is up!"
"
Bai Mo followed the direction of the instructor's finger and found an open space and walked directly there. After standing still, Bai Mo began to scan around and saw that the students who came here to take the assessment were basically twelve or thirteen years old.
Looking around, Bai Mo only saw a little fat man not far away who went up to talk to someone and then gave him a treasure.
After looking at Bai Mo for a while, he felt bored, so he leaned against the big tree nearby and closed his eyes to relax. However, after a while, he felt someone tap him on the shoulder.
Bai Mo opened his eyes, and the person in front of him was none other than the fat man who was giving gifts everywhere just now.
"Hello, brother, I'm Qi Mo. I'm from Jiyang City. I don't know what I call you!" Seeing Bai Mo open his eyes, Qi Mo quickly raised his hands and smiled.
"I'm Bai Mo!" Bai Mo looked at Qi Mo with interest and said.
"It turns out to be Brother Bai, but we are really destined, and we are both named after the character "Mo". I am a "Mo" character in Silence. I don't know which "Mo" character Brother Bai is." Qi Mo said in a familiar manner.
"The "ink" of paper and ink." Bai Mo explained with a smile.
After Bai Mo finished speaking, Qi Mo took out a piece of gold wire armor from his storage bag and handed it to Bai Mo: "It's our first time meeting, I'm giving you a small gift for Brother Bai, I hope you'll accept it!"
Bai Mo did not accept the inner armor that Qi Mo handed over, but asked with a smile: "I just met you, and you always give treasures to people you meet. Why is that?"
"My dad said that you rely on your parents at home and your friends when you go out, and friends should need material support! So I gave some gifts to my future classmates, which can be regarded as making some friends in advance!" Qi Mo said with a smile.
Hearing this, Bai Mo smiled and took the inner armor from Qi Mo's hand, looked at Qi Mo and said: "Since I accepted your gift, I should also give a gift in return!" Bai Mo took out a handful from his ring.
The long sword was handed to Qi Mo.
Qi Mo took Bai Mo's sword with a bigger smile on his face, and said to Bai Mo: "Brother Bai, you will be my best friend in the academy from now on. From now on..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the voice of teaching coming from afar.
