Chapter 396: Setting up a school and fighting the dragon (5k1)
Outside the mall, the long avenue that can accommodate two carriages running parallel to each other is deserted on weekdays, but at this time it is extremely lively.
There is a bearded swordsman with a yellow face riding a black horse, a cold-looking figure, a heroine in tight black clothes, surrounded by guards, a luxurious carriage with beautiful carriages, and a one-eyed old man walking with his granddaughter, in groups
A group of young scholars...
Various characters come from all over the world, running on the road, with only one goal, which is the shopping mall where there is news that the Academy of Cultivation of Immortals will be established.
"Do you think it's true? Are there really immortals in this world?"
"Regardless of whether you can become an immortal or not, I heard that if you reach great perfection, you can burn the sky and boil the sea, fly into the sky and escape from the earth, and even live forever!"
"Even if I can't live forever, I would be willing to live for two more years!"
"Go, go, go, they are recruiting young talents, but they don't want old bacon like you."
Everyone was discussing enthusiastically, and many complex expressions such as curiosity, suspicion, expectation, excitement, etc. could be seen on their faces.
In fact, when Grand Master Kong Huameng was being hunted down, the various methods of demons from other worlds came into the eyes of those who were interested in the martial arts world.
Talisman, Taoism, monsters, magic weapons and many other methods that are completely different from this world have really caused panic in many martial arts sects.
Even the Grandmaster is no match for the monsters from another world. What should they do if they come to infringe on their interests?
Fortunately, Liu Mang stormed up the Snowy Mountains and surrendered all the monsters.
The commotion among the middle and upper echelons of the martial arts gradually calmed down.
But many people have strong curiosity about monsters from other worlds.
Therefore, when it was reported that Xiuxian Academy would recruit its first class of students at the grand ceremony, many sect elders were extremely interested.
But their interest is due to curiosity about the cultivation system of other worlds, which belongs to the innate thirst for knowledge that humans have.
As for the specific method of cultivating immortality, it can be said that he has no understanding at all.
It wasn't until the news that cultivating immortals could lead to immortality, which could move mountains and seas, spread widely through the League of Heroes that a huge earthquake occurred throughout the world.
The word "immortality" has a special magical power that has attracted countless people in ancient and modern times, and made many people crazy.
It is said that the last emperor of the Zhao Kingdom was obsessed with refining elixirs because of his pursuit of immortality, and was eventually poisoned to death by the accumulated erysipelas.
The Demon Lord lived to be close to two hundred years old, so as soon as the news about his tomb came out, martial arts masters went there one after another and started a fight. Even two famous people died, just to find out the secret of the Demon Lord's longevity.
Internal skills are generally more valuable than external skills and are more sought after by ordinary people than external skills, also because masters of internal skills live longer.
Therefore, once the saying spread that cultivating immortals can lead to immortality, it caused a stir in the entire Xinqiu Kingdom.
In the mall.
After the great master Liu Mang preached, all the major inns were overcrowded again.
Many teahouses such as Sihailou and Lao Ma Ji are full every day, and the girls in the Red House work every night. Even the vendors selling sesame cakes and fried dough sticks on the street are making a lot of money.
Outside a heavily guarded, luxurious and brand new mansion.
The six-character golden signboard of 'Mall Cultivation Academy' shone with dazzling brilliance in the sun, attracting the peeps of many people in the city.
But no one dared to sneak in secretly, just because the first dean of the Immortal Cultivation Academy was Fang Qingtang, the wife of the master Liu Mang.
The Grandmaster is the belief of all martial arts practitioners in the world, and is the undefeated myth in the martial arts world. No one dares to challenge his authority easily.
What's more, the Immortal Cultivation Academy will soon hold a so-called opening ceremony, and you will know whether it is a mule or a horse.
'Crack! Crack!'
'Dang-dang-dang-dang!'
Amidst the noisy sound of firecrackers and the sound of golden gongs, the founding ceremony of the Mall Cultivation Academy began.
Outside the huge mansion, the three circles inside and outside were crowded with people.
Everyone was rubbing shoulders, holding their necks high, and stretching their heads to look around, as if they could see clearly what was happening in the mansion.
And inside the academy, in the square that is about a thousand acres in size, there is also a common scene.
However, those who can squeeze into the mansion are almost all people with martial arts skills.
The closer to the center of the square, the higher the cultivation level and the deeper the background.
Through the sect costumes, you can find local sects in the mall such as the Golden Bell Sect, Plum Blossom Sect, Wave Sect, Gu Family and other forces, as well as members of the League of Heroes such as Cangyu Zhai, Jinglei Temple, Cuiwei Temple, Tang Family and other well-known sects in the southern part of the Central Plains.
Among the ten major sects in the world, there are giants such as Xuantian Sword Sect, Huanzhen Guan, Lantao Temple, and Handeng Sword Sect.
Even the new crown prince Ji Quan came in person, accompanied by generals Wang Guojing, Zhen Yufeng and others. It seemed that the new emperor was very concerned about the method of cultivating immortals.
In the center of the square is a white jade raised platform five feet high and ten feet in diameter.
On the raised platform stood Dean Fang Qingtang.
She was wearing a bright red dress with gold and silver ribbons wrapped around the skirt. She had a Lingxu bun on her head and a gorgeous gold hairpin. She had a little pink on her face and a little vermilion on her lips. Her face was solemn and serious, and she was extremely beautiful.
things.
She stood upright and looked around at everyone. Her eyes were extremely clear and seemed to be radiating light. Her clear and clear voice could even be heard three to five miles away:
"The method of cultivating immortals can reverse yin and yang, reverse the five elements, revive the dead, and prolong life. The great master Liu Mang once said that this method is beneficial to the present generation, and its merits will last for thousands of years. It should not be self-produced, but should be spread to all people. In the fifth year of Shunchang, it was established
Cultivation Academy..."
After he finished speaking eloquently, a Taoist priest flashed out from behind him.
He was wearing a snow-white robe, his hair was simply raised and tied with a wooden hairpin, and his face was solemn. He was Taoist Mingyue, a former disciple of the Beast Control Sect.
He said: "I am Mingyue, the instructor of the Immortal Cultivation Academy. In the future, I will explain the legal principles and teach magic to the students. Since the method of cultivating immortals has never appeared in this world before, if you have any doubts, you can ask."
Everyone in the audience looked at each other in shock, but no one took any action for a moment.
Some people are apprehensive, while others don't know how to speak.
At this time, a person not far away shouted loudly: "Dean Fang just said that the art of cultivating immortals can reverse yin and yang and reverse the five elements. It's not that I don't believe it, I just want to broaden my horizons!"
Although he said this, his tone was understandable to everyone, full of doubts.
Everyone looked surprised and looked at this person, wanting to see who was so bold.
I saw this man, short in stature, wearing gray cloth, with long and thin cheeks, small eyes, and the look of a sharp-mouthed monkey.
Seeing this person, everyone suddenly had a thought in their minds. This person looked evil, could he be here to cause trouble?
When some members of the Fang family saw this person, they all looked shocked and their brows jumped.
Mingyue smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this? There are some iron trees planted beside the courtyard. Please bring me a pot."
Soon a big man moved over a pot of iron tree that was quite dense and nearly as tall as a person.
On the top of the iron tree, there is a golden 'corn' standing there, that is its flower.
It's just that many people will never be able to see it open throughout their lives.
Mingyue looked at Tieshu intently, then pointed forward: "Open!"
A stream of green light continuously overflowed from his hand and shot straight to the iron tree, completely covering it.
In the eyes of everyone.
The golden 'corn' tree began to slowly open up, like a peacock spreading its tail, and finally turned into a huge golden 'lotus'.
At the same time, a faint floral fragrance filled the entire courtyard.
"This is called inverting Yin and Yang." Mingyue said proudly.
The so-called inversion of yin and yang means to allow things to develop against their original laws.
It is extremely rare for iron tree flowers to bloom, but it is not difficult under the method of cultivating immortals.
Then, Mingyue slowly pushed forward with both hands.
A pool of clear water instantly formed on the ground ahead.
It seemed to be suppressed by an inexplicable force. Instead of flowing everywhere, it accumulated higher and higher, gradually reaching about three feet before stopping.
A huge water brick is formed, as if it is contained in a transparent glass cabinet.
"born!"
Mingyue just finished speaking.
In the center of the water brick, a bright and warm red flame formed in an instant.
The flames grew stronger and stronger, and soon the water in the water bricks boiled. The billowing white water vapor shot straight into the sky, further reflecting the extraordinary presence of Taoist Mingyue behind him.
"This is the reverse of the Five Elements!"
The creation of fire in the water was a miracle that shocked everyone.
As soon as Mingyue's spiritual power was withdrawn, the water bricks and flames disintegrated into the air again, as if they had never appeared in this world.
No one saw that Mingyue's face turned slightly pale, but it soon returned to normal.
After he performed these two spells, the scene suddenly fell silent for a while, and it seemed that everyone was digesting it.
The magic of cultivating immortals appeared in front of the world for the first time, impacting everyone's world view.
After a while, Jianxin, the director of Da Ri Sect, said: "Your method is certainly magical, but if you use martial arts, you can achieve similar things."
Abbot Mingzhu of Cuiwei Temple also nodded and said: "If you use the Water Covering Technique combined with the Flame Palm, you can indeed achieve similar effects, but you can't do it with ease like this donor."
When the others heard this, their eyes flashed, and not many spoke.
They know that this is putting gold on the face of martial arts.
But everyone here is a master of martial arts and has a high status in the martial arts world.
Who is willing to admit that what he has practiced all his life is not as good as this foreign 'witchcraft'?
Taoist Mingyue heard this and was not angry. Instead, he raised his hand and a yellow light flashed on his body.
A yellow earth wall one foot high and five inches thick was formed in an instant.
"With such a hard mud wall, can martial arts be accomplished?"
A white halo filled his body and he raised his sleeves.
Suddenly, a black meteorite hovering in mid-air appeared in front of him.
It is about the size of a watermelon, and moves slightly up and down in the air, left, right, and right. One can imagine the huge power of it hitting the body.
"Can martial arts be used to create something like this out of nothing?"
Then with a wave of his hand, another tall red spiritual horse with an unclear shape appeared in the field.
The horse even raised its hoof and stamped the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"Such a clever horse can ride on people and carry things. Is it possible to perform martial arts?"
Taoist Mingyue withdrew the spell, and all the strange phenomena disappeared.
His deafening three questions shocked everyone present.
The master of the Great Sun Gate and the abbot of Cuiwei Temple also remained silent.
Fang Qingtang suddenly spoke, his voice as sweet as spring water in an empty valley.
"All the experts know that this junior is born with all seven meridians and is unable to practice martial arts. It has only been five years since I have been exposed to the art of cultivating immortals."
"Today the Immortal Cultivation Academy was established. I would like to use the magic I have practiced for five years to boldly ask my seniors for advice. I hope you will be merciful."
Hearing this, the martial arts masters present all changed their expressions.
Establishing a Cultivation Academy is essentially the same as establishing a sect.
According to common sense, someone should try their fists and swords, and only after testing the quality can they establish a firm foothold and open the door to accept disciples.
If you don't do this, you won't be able to convince the public.
Before, no one dared to do this rashly because of Liu Mang's relationship.
Now that Fang Qingtang took the initiative, there is nothing to worry about.
It was Jianxin, the director of Da Rimen Sect, who said: "Mrs. Liu has been practicing law for less than five years, are you sure you want to compete with us old guys?
I have brought many outstanding disciples this time, and they are about the same age as you, why not give them a try?"
The words just fell.
A breeze seemed to rise under Fang Qingtang's feet, allowing her to float steadily to the open space below the boss.
"Senior Ren, please!"
Having said this, Ren Jianxin stopped being polite and stood up.
"In this case, I will be offended. Mrs. Liu, be careful!"
Ren Jianxin slapped Fang Qingtang with his palm.
call!
The palm speed was astonishing, and it made a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
A billowing wave of white heat emerged from the red palm, sweeping towards Fang Qingtang.
Even the onlookers not far away could feel the heat coming over them, their expressions changed, and they stared at the scene closely.
If Fang Qingtang is in any danger, they will take action without hesitation and form a good relationship with the grandmaster.
Fang Qingtang was unhurried.
No movement was seen on her part, but her lips slightly closed a few times, and a thick transparent blue water curtain appeared in front of her, blocking Ren Jianxin's path.
The water in the water curtain did not seem to be ordinary water. Even though Ren Jianxin's palm wind continued to evaporate large areas of it, and obvious dents appeared, it was still difficult to break through the defense of the water curtain.
Ren Jianxin roared, kicked his feet on the ground, and rose into the sky, trying to bypass the water curtain.
Only the sound of 'Peng' was heard.
Suddenly, with lightning speed, a silver vine as thick as the mouth of a bowl sprang out from the ground.
Dancing wildly around Ren Jianxin, they kept shrinking towards his position, trying to tie him up.
Although Ren Jianxin's face was frightened, he kept moving quickly in the air like an arrow, avoiding the vines that followed him.
At the same time, the wind of his palm slapped the metal vine like a "dang-dang-dang" sound, making it impossible to get close to it.
After a moment, he bypassed the vines and at the same time rushed towards Fang Qingtang.
Seeing that the distance was getting closer, Fang Qingtang was already in a dangerous situation.
"Okay, Sect Leader Ren is not only great at palm skills, he is also a master at light kung fu."
"It's already very good that Mrs. Liu can achieve this level. After all, she has only been practicing for five years."
"This alien magic doesn't seem to be very good at all, does it?"
Everyone was talking a lot.
The true energy or blood in someone's body has been stirred up, and they are ready to save Fang Qingtang at any time.
In this moment of crisis.
'Peng Peng Peng Peng!'
Four metallic silver vines, the same as before, suddenly burst out from the ground!
It swayed crazily in the air like a giant python.
Including the previous one, a total of five tightly surrounded Ren Jianxin, blocking all directions in which he wanted to escape.
Ren Jianxin's expression changed drastically.
Those who were not optimistic about Fang Qingtang just now also fell silent.
It was already difficult for Ren Jianxin to avoid one of them before.
Now you give me five pieces?
Although the leader of the Great Sun Sect is not a top expert in the world, he is definitely one of the best with five years of experience.
But such strength cannot be developed within thirty or forty years.
Now he has to lose to a little girl who has only practiced for less than five years!
Is the so-called method of cultivating immortals really so powerful?
No one paid attention.
Behind Fang Qingtang, Taoist Mingyue and other former Beast Control Sect disciples all had a look of surprise in their eyes.
Not to mention his proficiency in performing spells, Fang Qingtang's progress in training shocked them even more.
After practicing for less than five years, he has already reached the fifth or sixth level of Qi training, and he is improving by one level almost every year.
The speed is as fast as that of one in ten thousand innate spirit body.
At this rate, in a few years, it is estimated that many of them will no longer be Fang Qingtang's opponents.
They didn't know that Liu Mang had killed dozens of Qi-training monks from the Beast Control Sect before, and was doing a major foundation building overhaul.
Their storage bags have become Fang Qingtang's training materials.
In addition, Fang Qingtang's qualifications are not bad, and he is also at the upper level of Shuanglinggen.
And with the core inheritance of Xuanshui Zhenzong, it is not surprising that he can practice so quickly.
Fang Qingtang is just a special case, but people in the martial arts world don't know that.
They only saw that five years of cultivating immortality was more powerful than thirty or forty years of martial arts!
After this competition.
It is conceivable that the reputation of the Immortal Cultivation Academy will spread throughout the world at an extremely fast speed!
…
Thousands of miles away.
Liu Mang had already arrived at lightning speed, above the Longjiang River between Taicheng and Jiangcheng.
Gray mysterious light filled the outside of the body, forcing the river water to automatically divert, revealing a bottomless black gap.
Liu Mang shot into the gap and disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the gap gradually closed.
In less than five breaths, he arrived at the bottom of the river and saw the translucent crystal palace.
The speed is much faster than before.
He was completely indifferent to the huge pressure of the river.
Around the palace, the sediment at the bottom of the river began to squirm and bulge rapidly. Countless bubbles the size of a human head quickly flew upwards, and the entire river was swaying.
boom!
A huge black shadow quickly rushed out from the sand.
Its length is nearly a thousand feet, its eyes are shining like green sun when it is opened, and its sharp teeth are like small mountain peaks.
This giant snake, or it can be called a giant dragon, seemed to feel the threat from Liu Mang, and its reaction was much greater than before.
'Woo!'
The giant snake opened its mouth, and thick mist-like black venom rolled towards Liu Mang overwhelmingly.
It is so toxic that the river water passing by it boils and evaporates.
The surrounding rocks and other tenaciously surviving creatures have all disappeared, forming a large vacuum.
Even the fish that were countless miles away floated to the surface of the water with their white bellies turned over, and a large number of aquatic plants were withering rapidly. The scene was quite spectacular.
This shows how toxic it is.
"What a beast!"
Liu Mang scolded.
Gray mysterious light penetrated the body and turned into a barrier many times stronger and tougher than black iron, blocking the venom from the outside.
