Bailu Academy, located outside Taichang City, is an inconspicuous one among the many academies in Nan County. In the eyes of outsiders, it is only in the middle among many academies. If there is any characteristic of this academy, it is that it is not built in
In a big city, it was built on the famous "Yutian Mountain" in Nan County.
This Yutian Mountain is the famous Lingshan Mountain in Taichang Prefecture. It has more than ten peaks of different sizes. Although it is not steep and majestic, it is like spring all year round, with strange flowers everywhere. There are several kinds of rare Lingshu Lingguo.
It can only be planted on this mountain. Therefore, it is ranked as one of the Thirteen Spiritual Mountains in Nan County.
Bailu Academy is built on the Huanyun Peak of this mountain. From the middle of the mountain to the top, there are large pavilions. The area is really not small, and it can accommodate more than a thousand people.
But it stands to reason that with such a famous name of the mountain, this unknown Bailu Academy is not qualified to be stationed in this mountain. After all, there are quite famous temples built on the adjacent peaks.
, which is completely different from Bailu Academy.
But the strange thing is that after Bailu Academy was built here more than a thousand years ago, no one in these temples or Taoist temples has ever caused any trouble to the Academy.
On the contrary, the monks and Taoist priests in Taoist temples and temples were polite to the scholars who occasionally came in and out of the academy, regardless of their age. This really surprised many people.
Another strange thing about Bailu Academy is that the students it recruits are very different in age and status. There are only sons from rich families and farmers and vendors from poor families. Their ages range from six to seven years old.
The age of more than ten years does not vary at all. Moreover, the time for recruiting disciples every year is not fixed. Sometimes a group is recruited in three or four years, and sometimes there is no movement for seven or eight years. Anyone who enters this academy will
But it is rare to see anyone coming out of the academy gate, and there is a mysterious color everywhere.
Of course, this kind of mystery only exists among some local residents living at the foot of Yutian Mountain. The secular world outside the mountain is completely unaware of these abnormal things. Bailu Academy is still unknown in the entire Nan County, and few people notice it.
On this day, at the foot of Huanyun Peak, two people slowly came up the mountain.
One is a middle-aged Confucian scholar with a majestic appearance, and the other is a young scholar in his twenties, with slightly dark skin and ordinary appearance. It is Han Li who only appeared in Gan Mansion a month ago.
"Nephew Han Shi, Bailu Academy ended its recruitment of disciples two months ago. But I heard from old friend Gan that you have learned some miscellaneous Taoism before, and you also know the existence of immortal cultivators. That's why I took you here.
The academy will give you a try. As for whether the academy will accept you, it depends on your own opportunities. Mr. Lu Da from Bailu Academy has some connections with me, so I will take you to meet him first. If he thinks there is no problem, you can stay
The academy won't be a problem." The middle-aged Confucian scholar said calmly while walking with his big sleeves fluttering.
"Yes, everything is subject to Mr. Yan's arrangement. Uncle Gan has already said this before he came. No matter whether the academy admits my nephew to the hospital this time, my uncle will definitely keep this affection in mind." Han Li showed an honest and well-behaved look.
Momentary reply.
At this time, the aura on Han Li's body was only that of the third or fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and ordinary monks could not tell his true depth.
On that day, he proposed to Gan Chi, the secret son of the Feng family, to help him join a local sect that cultivates immortality, regardless of Buddhism, Taoism, or Confucianism.
The reason why he said it so directly was because even though Gan Chi was just a mortal, the Feng family's instructions to him in the past were to always make friends with those monks who had joined the world for future use. So when he heard this request
, although Gan Chi was surprised, it was not too difficult.
The only thing that worries him is probably that he is afraid that Han Li will sneak into these sects and plot evil, which may bring harm to the Gan family.
However, all the Gan family's business has been secretly controlled by the Feng family. As long as Han Li takes out the land deed documents, everything in the Gan family can be wiped out overnight.
In addition, although Gan Chi knew something about immortal cultivators, he had always felt mysterious and in awe of the origins and identities of the Feng family.
Therefore, after Han Li calmly explained that this time he would not cause any trouble and affect the Gan Mansion by sneaking into the Immortal Cultivation Sect, he could only act as ordered.
After a few days of planning, Gan Chi finally selected this middle-aged Confucian scholar named Yan as a bridge to escort Han Li to Bailu Academy.
The reason for choosing this person is that, on the one hand, compared to the Buddhist and Taoist schools, the academy is obviously much more relaxed in recruiting disciples. As long as they are not disciples of the evil demon sect, even if they have a master's background, as long as their background is innocent, they will still not be accepted as well. And another
On the other hand, Gan Chi was very kind to Mr. Yan in the past. He came from a Confucian family and always valued kindness and righteousness the most. He will definitely do his best to handle this matter. Otherwise, although there are other ways, it will be successful.
The possibility is really not high.
After all, although the Immortal Cultivation Sect of the Great Jin Dynasty is not as difficult to enter as Tiannan, it is also not something that a low-level casual cultivator can get in on the fly.
After Han Li heard the name of Bailu Academy and inquired about the location of Yutian Mountain, he secretly used his weapon to observe the mountain's spiritual veins from a distance one night. The result was quite satisfying.
Although this spiritual vein is far from comparable to the cave where he placed many spiritual eye objects in Tiannan, it is still a good spiritual vein, far stronger than the other ones near Taichang City.
Speaking of which, if the spiritual eye tree and other things are not moved frequently, it will damage the purity of the spiritual energy in it, and if it is not placed on the spiritual veins for many years, the spiritual energy will gradually grow. He only needs to bring two spiritual eye objects with him, and he can do whatever he wants.
You can just find a low-quality spiritual vein for cultivation. Why bother to sneak into a large sect to practice.
So just like that, Han Li suddenly transformed and immediately became the in-law of a distant relative of Gan Chi. On the surface, he was a low-level cultivator with spiritual roots and learned some superficial spells. He was extremely yearning for the path to immortality, so he asked Gan Chi
This distant uncle helped me to see if I could enter a certain sect and continue practicing.
Gan Chi found a Confucian scholar surnamed Yan who taught in a famous college in the city. He agreed out of the idea of repaying his kindness.
This is how the two of them got into this business.
"Well! It seems that Brother Gan has really put a lot of thought into your cousin. But it's no wonder. There is only one mortal in the world who can possess spiritual roots. Naturally, he will pay more attention to you. Even I am a kunai spirit.
Otherwise, he would have entered Bailu Academy and practiced hard to seek immortality." The Confucian scholar said with some emotion.
Han Li smiled, but he didn't respond.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar below said nothing more and led Han Li straight up the mountain. When he was almost halfway up the mountain, suddenly, from another peak visible to the naked eye, bursts of bells were heard, and the sound was clear and melodious.
, people can’t help but feel refreshed after listening to it.
"The green cicada bell of Baoling Temple is really a rare treasure, but by striking it three times a day, the eminent monks of Baoling Temple can't help but show off a bit." The Confucian scholar paused and turned his head to take a look.
The mountain peak, which was three points taller than Huanyun Peak, shook his head and murmured.
When Han Li heard that the mountain peak was where the Buddhist sect was, his eyes flashed with a thoughtful look. Based on his understanding, this so-called treasure was actually just a high-level magic weapon, and there was no harmony with it.
Strange.
He stretched out his hand to support the thick and long package behind his back, and continued to follow the Confucian scholar upward.
Not long after, the two finally came to a platform halfway up the mountain, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
As far as the eye can see, it is full of green and lush, and a large green bamboo forest appears in front of you. In the bamboo forest, you can vaguely see red walls and white buildings, an elegant scene. Several white stone paths lead directly to the depths of the bamboo forest, at the end
A huge red door about several feet high can be vaguely seen.
"Let's go. The main entrance is usually not open. Just follow me through the side entrance." The middle-aged scholar glanced at the bamboo forest and said this. He led Han Li to one side and walked into one of the paths.
, and entered the bamboo forest.
Finally, after many twists and turns, Han Li and the Confucian scholar appeared in front of a dark wooden door about ten feet high. The Confucian scholar let out a breath, stepped forward and knocked on the door lightly.
The door opened silently, and a young man in white robes and Confucian shirt walked out of it.
"Ah, it turns out that Mr. Yan has arrived. Is he here to see Mr. Lu Da?" This young man has spiritual energy fluctuations in his body and has the cultivation level of the third level of Qi refining stage. However, he has no magic power at all against the Confucian scholar named Yan.
But he was extremely polite. This made Han Li on the side look in his eyes and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
If we were in Tiannan, this kind of thing would never happen. It seems that Confucianism is really strict in rules, and it actually allows immortal cultivators to bow their heads to a mortal. However, this kind of situation can only be done in low-level immortal cultivators.
This kind of thing will never happen to a high-level immortal cultivator. Han Li thought with a sneer secretly.
"Well, I'm here to see Brother Fang this time. Is Mr. Fang Da free now?" the middle-aged Confucian scholar asked calmly.
"A distinguished guest has come to the lower academy now. The gentleman is keeping company in the study. Let me inform Mr. Yan." The young man in white robe said after thinking for a while.
"Okay, please excuse me!" Confucian scholar surnamed Yan said with a smile after hearing this.
The young man in white robe knew that although the man in front of him was a mortal, he had a close relationship with Mr. Fang Da, so of course he did not dare to neglect him. After saying a polite word, he hurriedly reached out and took out a transmission note, whispered a few words to it, and then
He raised his hand, and the transmission note turned into a beam of fire and shot back, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Not long after, Han Li suddenly felt a strong spiritual consciousness suddenly flying from a distance. After passing over a few people, it immediately converged back.
Han Li's heart moved, and he knew that this was probably Mr. Lu Da. Judging from the strength of his spiritual consciousness, he had a cultivation level in the early stages of pill formation. It was much more advanced than the expected cultivation level in the middle and late stages of foundation establishment.
.This surprised him a little.
To him, the lower the person's cultivation level, the better. This makes it impossible to see through his cover-up method.
After a moment, the spiritual waves trembled in the sky above where Han Li and others were standing, and a man's faint voice suddenly sounded.
"Is it Brother Yan? You came at the right time. I have a distinguished guest here. Brother Yan might as well come and meet him. Well, the little friend next to you, please come too."
