There was a buzzing sound and a wave of fluctuations came from outside the cave, causing Chen Xi to wake up from his meditation.
"Chen Xi, are you ready?"
Chen Xi casually opened the cave door and heard Ji Xuanbing's clear voice.
This made him startled slightly, then he slapped his forehead and finally remembered that today was the day he was going to enter the inner courtyard.
"Brother Ji, wait a moment, I'll be here right away."
Chen Xi put away the natal bone of the Yin-Yang Fish King, stood up and left the cave. A trace of regret quietly crossed his heart, and he immediately regained his composure.
In these few days, he only had a preliminary understanding of the secrets of the two avenues of darkness and light. He has not yet comprehended them, let alone mastered them. Regrets are inevitable.
When Chen Xi arrived outside the cave, he saw Ji Xuanbing in a light golden feathered coat standing with her hands behind her hands. When she saw him appearing, she immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Let's go. Today, all our disciples who have passed the inner courtyard examination will participate in a unique ceremony. You must be mentally prepared."
Ji Xuanbing smiled and exchanged greetings with Chen Xi, then flew away in the distance.
"Brother Ji, is there anything special about entering the inner courtyard this time?"
Chen Xi followed up and asked curiously.
"It's nothing special. It's just that the head of the inner courtyard has a weird temper. Every time a new disciple enters the inner courtyard, he will use various methods to ravage him... Well, it's a training, euphemistically called the first class to enter the inner courtyard.
class."
Ji Xuanbing took a deep breath, then smiled wryly and shrugged, "No matter who it is, they can't escape."
Chen Xi was stunned, first lesson? A training session? This seems to be the legendary showdown...
…
Among the five campuses of Daohuang College, the inner courtyard is undoubtedly the most desirable place among all the students from the outer courtyard.
The inner courtyard is located in the core area of the college, built in a vast fairyland basin, surrounded by green mountains and steaming clouds. Ancient buildings are scattered among them, just like a country standing in the basin.
What is different from ordinary countries is that the layout of the inner courtyard blends in with the surrounding fairy mountains, creating a natural environment.
On the sky, the auspicious light is swaying, and the five-color auspicious clouds are clustered. On the earth, the cranes are fluttering, the sacred white deer is looming, the thin vines are wrapped around the old trees, the strange flowers are blooming in the green clouds, the golden lions and jade elephants are lazily lingering, and the mysterious apes and green pheasants are running together.
Jumping, there are orchids planted in the valleys, fairy medicine grows on the cliffs everywhere, the ancient palaces and jade halls are covered with stars, and the streets are lined up like shuttles.
This situation and this scene are so cleverly created by nature that they are like a paradise of immortal treasures.
When Chen Xi and Ji Xuanbing arrived, they were amazed when they saw such a picturesque scene.
"You can't find such a blessed place even in my home." Ji Xuanbing sighed.
He was born in an ancient imperial family, and he actually expressed such emotion, which shows how impressive the layout of the inner courtyard is.
Chen Xi also took a deep breath and felt that between the heaven and the earth, there was not only the rich and mellow fairy spirit, but also the breath of chaos, grand mist, creation, primitive... and so on. He could even feel the power of auspicious luck.
!
This is terrifying!
Perhaps only the Daohuang Academy would be so generous as to open up such a blessed land for the inner courtyard disciples to practice.
Just as the two of them were sighing with emotion, a rough and thick roar like thunder suddenly sounded out - "You two bastards over there, what's so interesting about these shabby landscapes? Hurry up and gather here!"
One sentence immediately destroyed the peaceful and peaceful artistic conception of this fairyland and blessed land.
Boom!
This wasn't the end yet. Along with the shocking roar, two mountains of ten thousand feet suddenly appeared out of thin air, carrying a violent force and smashing towards Chen Xi and Ji Xuanbing.
The power was so violent that it crushed the void with a loud rumbling sound. Caught off guard, Chen Xi and Ji Xuanbing could only rely on their reactions to resist.
Bang! Bang!
The mountains exploded, gravel flew into the air, and smoke filled the air. Although Chen Xi and Ji Xuanbing were not harmed, they were left disgraced and embarrassed.
Chen Xi's face immediately darkened, and he looked unkind.
"Don't be angry, it's Dean Chi Cangsheng!" Seeing this, Ji Xuanbing quickly sent a message to remind him.
Chen Xi frowned, and sure enough, he saw that in the far distance, there was a vast platform covering an area of a thousand acres. On that platform, there were already many figures standing, and opposite those figures, stood a skinny figure.
Short old man.
His hair is gray and disheveled. He is wearing a hundred-pin robe and a Lu Song belt around his waist. He has dry cheeks and an ordinary appearance. His a pair of abyss-like eyes are filled with a violent, leering, unruly and surly air. As soon as you look at him from a distance, you will feel something in your heart.
Trembling, as if facing a monstrous ferocious beast from the wild days.
This person is Chi Cangsheng, the dean of the inner courtyard of Daohuang Academy!
An old school veteran known for his surly temper, violent temper, and arrogance has been in the inner court for an unknown number of years, and his strength is unfathomable.
Obviously, the roar just now came from Chi Cangsheng's mouth, and the Wanren Mountain that suddenly hit Chen Xi and Ji Xuanbing were naturally written by Chi Cangsheng.
"This old guy is indeed as surly and irritable as Ji Xuanbing said."
Chen Xi gritted his teeth secretly in his heart, and finally had a preliminary glimpse of the temperament and methods of Chi Cangsheng, the dean of the inner courtyard.
"Let's hurry over. This first lesson... won't end so easily. You must be more careful and patient. In the eyes of this old guy, it doesn't matter who you are or what your identity is, and he doesn't care whether you are wrong or not.
When you talk about beating someone, you will never frown."
Ji Xuanbing felt heavy, and she and Chen Xi quickly flew towards the platform in the distance.
…
When Chen Xi and Ji Xuanbing arrived on the platform, there were already many figures gathered there, including Zhao Mengli and Fozi Zhenlu.
However, no one dared to whisper to each other. They all stood there quietly, pursed their lips and said nothing. Many people also had a heavy look on their brows.
Obviously, when facing Chi Cangsheng, the dean of the inner courtyard who was known for his surly and irritable temper, they were also under great pressure. Even Ao Zhanbei, who was extremely arrogant in the Dragon Realm, restrained his temper and could not be depressed.
Stand there silently.
Seeing this, Chen Xi and Ji Xuanbing exchanged glances, and both stood obediently on one side of the crowd, silent.
"I don't know what kind of trick this old guy is going to make in his first class. Will he have to deal with new students like them in the inner courtyard in different ways?"
Chen Xi muttered secretly in his heart, but he noticed in his field of vision that on one side of this vast and flat platform, there was an ancient stone tablet with a height of one hundred feet. The whole body of the stone tablet was filled with a soft and misty golden glow, and there was an impressive figure floating on the surface.
The names of the inner courtyard students.
In an instant, Chen Xi understood that this must be another list in the academy - the Purple Ribbon Gold List! The names that can be ranked on it are all the top beings among the inner court disciples.
Of course, there are two types of disciples in the inner courtyard. One is the Daluo Realm disciples, with about 800 disciples, and the other is the Saint Immortal Realm disciples, with about 300 disciples. Although these two groups of disciples are together in the
They are cultivating in secret, but they basically do not interfere with each other.
The reason for the small number of disciples in the inner courtyard is that every year there are disciples who leave the academy and either return to their original clan to serve, or enter the Immortal Court to serve, or they directly travel around the world to pursue their own path.
And the academy also has regulations. When the strength of the inner courtyard disciples reaches the Holy Fairyland and passes the academy test, there are only two options. Either leave and go explore the world on your own, or become a teacher in the academy. Of course, you can also be a teacher if you want to.
Additional assessment is required.
Chen Xi's eyes moved upward, and in an instant he saw that the number one person was Yan Yu? Ling Qingwu!
The second place is Tieyuan Ye Tang.
The names of these two people were both shrouded in a layer of purple-gold halo, exuding a majestic, awe-inspiring aura like the scorching sun.
The names further down are only shrouded in a layer of golden light, without the trace of purple light filled with majesty.
A scorching sun comes out, and all the purple energy comes from the east!
It is obvious that whether it is Ling Qingwu or Ye Tang, they are now recognized as one of the six scorching suns in the immortal world, and they appear to be different.
But what makes Chen Xi curious is, if you want to join the ranks of Jiaoyang, how can you pass the assessment? Could the purple halo surrounding the names of Ling Qingwu and Ye Tang be related to becoming the children of Jiaoyang?
Not long after, all the forty-seven disciples who passed the inner court examination arrived.
When Chi Cangsheng, who had been standing far away with his hands behind his hands, saw this, his surly and deep eyes swept over Chen Xi and the other disciples one by one, and suddenly he laughed strangely, as hoarse and unpleasant as a night owl.
Seeing this, everyone trembled in their hearts and looked solemn, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They knew very well that this "first lesson" was about to begin!
"Well, I heard that some of you little guys performed very well when they were practicing on the battlefield outside the territory. Who is it, please stand up and let me have a look first?"
Chi Cangsheng spoke, his voice sounding like a broken gong, and a pair of strange eyes glanced at Chen Xi and the others coldly.
Everyone was stunned. How could you ask such a question? Everyone felt that their performance was very good. Do you want everyone to stand up?
Chen Xi originally planned to stand up, but seeing everyone's reaction, he immediately gave up the idea and shot the first bird, so it was better to just sit back and observe the situation.
"Is there no one? Haha, you are more humble than the other. It's rare, it's really rare." Chi Cangsheng sneered again, his dry and skinny cheeks full of disdain.
"Reporting to Dean Chi, the one who performed best in the foreign battlefield this time was undoubtedly Chen Xi. He beat the other six colleges and is the well-deserved first person in this assessment."
Just as Chi Cangsheng's voice fell, suddenly Zuo Qiujun in the crowd bowed and saluted, and spoke loudly, with a rather respectful and sincere expression.
"This bastard is deliberately trying to harm Chen Xi!"
Ji Xuanbing frowned and glanced out of the corner of his eye. As expected, Chen Xi's eyes became cold at this moment. Apparently, Chen Xi also realized Zuo Qiujun's ulterior motives.
