Long Chen and others took the flying boat and flew for two full hours when a ball of light as dazzling as the sun appeared in front of them.
"Third brother, that's the inner courtyard ahead."
Seeing that ball of light, the disciples of Xiaoyao League were excited. It was their lifelong dream.
Long Chen looked at the ball of light and knew that it was a large formation. Long Chen had learned from books that the inner courtyard was the core area of the academy.
The area is almost as big as four Tianwu continents. It is protected by a huge spiritual array, and the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth is almost ten times that of the outside world.
Moreover, the inner sect disciples have many special benefits, and the benefits are thousands of times better than those of the outer sect disciples. This is why Mu Qingyun desperately wants to enter the inner sect and become an elite disciple.
Because only by becoming elite disciples can the academy spend more resources on training them. After becoming inner disciples, the academy's resources will be tilted towards them.
It can be said that when practicing in the academy, the benefits provided by the academy are only enough for the disciples' basic expenses.
If you want to practice quickly, those benefits are far from enough. Therefore, whether it is Mu Qingyun, Luo Bing, Luo Ning and others, the family behind them needs to provide a large amount of fairy crystals every year to provide them with supplies. Otherwise, they only rely on the academy every month. If you live on the benefits provided, you will soon be thrown away.
But becoming an inner sect disciple is different. Some of the resources provided by the academy to the disciples cannot even be bought with money. This is why they desperately want to enter the inner sect.
"Buzz"
The flying boat slowly passed through the light curtain, and a rune lit up on the flying boat. If it weren't for that rune, the flying boat would not have been able to enter this area.
Because Long Chen and others have not yet advanced to the Divine Fire Realm and cannot use the teleportation array, they can only come by flying boat.
Passing through the light curtain, the scenery in front of everyone changes. Here there are ancient trees, dangerous peaks reaching into the clouds, and misty mist, like a natural ink painting.
"It's so beautiful, it's like a fairyland on earth." Zhong Ling exclaimed.
Fairyland on earth? A wry smile appeared on the corner of Long Chen's mouth. At the time of the next term, they imagined the fairyland as a fairyland on earth. They thought that the people here could live forever. They thought that the people here were all gods and carefree. Happy and happy.
But after ascending, I realized that this place was even more cruel than the mortal world. It was not a fairyland on earth.
Suddenly, a group of cranes flew through the clouds and mist, breaking through the clouds and creating a rainbow.
"It's the colorful crane, the academy's auspicious beast. We actually saw the auspicious beast. Does it mean we are going to be lucky?" When he saw the group of cranes, Zhong Ling jumped up with excitement.
Colorful cranes are an auspicious beast. Different from other cranes, they are noble and holy. They do not eat living creatures and never kill. They feed on the aura of heaven and earth, making them extremely beautiful.
It is said that colorful cranes like to be free, and their habitat is not fixed. Legend has it that wherever the colorful cranes breathe, it means that that place is an auspicious place.
It's just that the colorful cranes don't like to live with people. I heard that people's murderous and violent temper will make them extremely uneasy.
So if someone chooses to live next to colorful cranes, they will choose to migrate and find another place to live.
It is also said that if you drive away the colorful cranes, an auspicious place will become an ominous place. I don’t know whether it is true or not, but many people believe it.
Legend has it that the colorful cranes came after Lingxiao Academy was built. Lingxiao Academy explicitly prohibited anyone from disturbing the colorful cranes. If anyone violated it, he would be expelled from the academy immediately. No matter how big the background is, it is useless.
I heard that once upon a time, the daughter of a former headmaster chased the colorful crane out of curiosity, but she was expelled from the academy and was never allowed to set foot in the academy.
Since then, people have been full of curiosity about the colorful cranes, but they can only watch them from a distance.
Colorful cranes are rarely seen by people, because they sometimes only appear once every few years or even decades. It is also a great luck for people to encounter them.
Seeing the colorful cranes, Mu Qingyun quickly stopped the flying boat in the air. This was the rule of the academy, so as not to disturb them.
The colorful cranes are all white, with only the edges of the wings and part of the feathers on the tail being black. But for some unknown reason, when their wings are waving, colorful lines appear in the void. This is an unsolved mystery, and no one has ever been able to figure it out.
explain.
The colorful cranes flew in front of the flying boat, and Mu Qingyun and others had a look of intoxication in their eyes. They were a group of beautiful elves, so beautiful that they were breathtaking.
Just when Mu Qingyun was about to wait for the colorful cranes to leave before continuing to fly, the group of colorful cranes suddenly turned and flew towards the flying boat.
"Oh my god, they are here, and we can actually see the colorful cranes up close." Li Chai and others exclaimed.
Usually the colorful crane doesn't like the smell of people, and will stay away from people when it sees them. But now it flew straight towards them, which is simply unbelievable.
The crane's wings are trembling and its posture is beautiful, like a girl dancing gracefully. The colorful halo is like their neon clothes. That beautiful figure can make people forget all their worries. It is the most wonderful dance in the world.
Long Chen looked at these beautiful elves quietly, and the corners of his mouth curved. This was the first time in his life that he had seen such beautiful creatures.
There are about seventy or eighty colorful cranes in that group. They are not big, only about one person tall, and they don't have a strong aura about them. However, they have no natural enemies. It is said that all beasts would rather starve to death than dare to capture them.
These colorful cranes flew in front of the flying boat and surrounded the flying boat. Mu Qingyun and others were shocked. What was going on?
"No one in the flying boat can move around, so as not to hurt the colorful crane." Suddenly a voice came from outside the flying boat.
Someone actually shouted to them from the sky. It was obvious that everything here was being monitored. Perhaps it was not to monitor them, but to protect those colorful cranes.
The colorful cranes kept circling around the flying boat, and the powerful men responsible for monitoring were also startled. Not knowing what was going on, they quickly ordered Long Chen and others not to move rashly, so as not to hurt them.
If the colorful crane is hurt and allowed to fly away, both Long Chen and them will be finished.
But the group of colorful cranes kept circling around the flying boat and refused to leave for some unknown reason. Mu Qingyun and others were stunned.
"Open the hatch," Long Chen said in his heart.
"Third Master" Li Guai was stunned.
"Asshole, didn't you hear what I said? Don't open the door, otherwise..." The voice from before sounded in the airship, and the voice was full of anger.
"Kakaka..."
As a result, Long Chen ignored the man and opened the door of the flying boat by himself and walked onto the flying boat.
"you wanna die"
The voice suddenly became angry. Hearing what he meant, he wanted to crush Long Chen to death.
Long Chen ignored the man and stepped onto the flying boat. The colorful cranes immediately surrounded him, and one of the cranes slowly landed in front of Long Chen.
Suddenly, colorful runes floated all over her body, and she transformed into a seven or eight-year-old little girl who looked pretty.
"Brother, you are a good person, can you play with me?" The little girl spoke, with a pair of big black and white eyes, crystal clear and without a trace of impurities.
