Qin Haodong asked in a funny tone: "You are obviously a warrior in the divine transformation stage. How come you are being chased by a fourth-level monster? Can't you just kill it?"
"You think I haven't thought about it! That thing looks so scary. I'm so scared when I see it. It almost scares me to death!"
As the woman spoke, she reached out and patted her tall chest, causing a charming tremor.
Qin Haodong was speechless for a while and said: "I really don't know how you achieved this level of cultivation. You are considered a strong person at the stage of becoming a god. What is there to be afraid of when you see a little monster?"
The woman said with some embarrassment: "I practiced whatever the master told me to do, but I'm still scared when I see that thing."
Qin Haodong shook his head. This woman was just like the high-scoring and low-energy students on earth. She had no problems with the exam answer sheet, but she had no practical ability. Once she entered the society, she was completely dumbfounded.
But after all, when he meets someone who can understand the situation of this world, he will naturally not let go of this opportunity.
"Girl, where are you going? I'll take you off!"
"Okay, okay, there are too many beasts in this mountain, I'm really scared!"
The woman agreed without hesitation.
Qin Haodong pulled her and jumped onto the back of the three-legged golden toad, and then flew towards the west in the direction guided by the woman.
In this mountain forest, the fifth-level spiritual beast is already the supreme existence, so the journey was very peaceful and there was no harassment from other monsters.
The woman let go of Qin Haodong's arm and said, "Hello, my name is Zhao Xingyue. Thank you for your help. Can you tell me your name."
"My name is Qin Haodong!"
Zhao Xingyue said: "Your clothes are so strange. I have never seen anyone wearing clothes like yours."
"My master made these clothes for me. I have lived with my master in the mountains since I was a child. I have never seen the outside world, and I don't know what kind of clothes you all wear.
The master passed away suddenly a few days ago, leaving me to go out and practice alone. I didn't expect to meet you here."
This is the rhetoric Qin Haodong came up with, which can completely cover up his own past.
As expected, Zhao Xingyue had no doubts. She took out a set of men's clothes from her storage ring and said, "Originally, I was planning to dress up as a man, so I'll give you this set of clothes first!"
She stuffed the clothes into Qin Haodong's hands and turned around.
Qin Haodong naturally didn't want to appear too out of place in this world, so he took the robe and changed out of his clothes. He had lived in the world of cultivation for 500 years, so wearing this kind of clothes was not unfamiliar to him.
After changing his clothes, he said, "Can you tell me where this place is?"
"It seems that you really don't know anything." Zhao Xingyue said, "This is Lingwu Continent, and now we are in Xuanwu Country."
"Lingwu Continent? I heard from my master that this place is called the world of alien demons. There are many alien demons here, so I must be careful. Why didn't I see the shadow of the demons?"
Qin Haodong asked his doubts
"The world of alien demons, return to the demon clan?"
At this time, Zhao Xingyue was no longer nervous, and giggled after hearing his question. She was already beautiful, and her smile became even more beautiful.
"I really don't know how many years you and your master have been in the mountains. The world of alien demons and the alien demon clan happened thousands of years ago. Now humans rule this continent. Where can we find the alien demon clan?"
Zhao Xingyue's statement confirmed Qin Haodong's guess. He asked: "What's going on? Can you tell me something?"
"Okay, anyway, we still have some time to go, so I'll tell you..."
Zhao Xingyue told the story of the entire Lingwu Continent. It turned out that this continent used to be called the Yin-Yang Continent. Half of it was full of spiritual energy and occupied by humans, and the other half was full of demonic energy and occupied by alien demons.
The human race cannot survive in an environment full of demonic energy, and the alien demon race cannot adapt to the spiritual energy, so the two sides do not have much conflict and have always been in peace.
But just 5,000 years ago, changes occurred in the Yin and Yang Continent. There were more and more spiritual energy, less and less demonic energy, and the position that the alien demons could occupy became smaller and smaller.
A thousand years ago, four-eyed spiritual springs suddenly appeared on this continent. The spiritual energy was unprecedentedly abundant, and the demonic energy was squeezed to nothing. The alien demons also completely lost their living space, and were eventually annihilated by the human race.
From then on, the Yin Yang Continent was changed to the Lingwu Continent, and a melee began. Finally, it was divided into four countries based on the Four Eyes Spiritual Spring, named Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu.
The location where they are currently located was once ruled by the alien demon clan, and is now the Xuanwu Kingdom in Lingwu Continent.
Qin Haodong nodded secretly. It seemed that the powerful alien demons 5,000 years ago broke the space barrier and entered the earth's plane because the living space was getting smaller and smaller.
But later, the space loophole was sealed by the Yellow Emperor and other ancient powers, and the alien demons remaining on this continent could only eventually perish.
Although Zhao Xingyue was a little timid, he still had a very broad knowledge and answered questions one after another.
Finally, Qin Haodong asked: "Master passed away and I want to find a place to continue practicing. Is there any good way to quickly improve my cultivation?"
"The best way to quickly improve your cultivation level is of course to study in an academy." Zhao Xingyue said with excitement, "There are four major academies in Lingwu Continent, and not far away is Xuanwu Academy.
Today is the last day for admissions to Xuanwu College, and that’s where I want to sign up to study, why don’t you come with me?”
"Going to the academy?"
Qin Haodong hesitated.
Zhao Xingyue continued: "Let me tell you, the cultivation resources of the entire Lingwu Continent are basically controlled by the academy and the royal family. If you don't have royal blood, you can only go to the academy to study.
In the academy, you can learn the best exercises, get guidance from famous teachers, and enjoy cultivation resources, which are simply not available in other places."
Her words moved Qin Haodong. As the Qingmu Emperor in his previous life, he had no shortage of skills and guidance from famous teachers, but he lacked cultivation resources.
If he can get enough cultivation resources, he will soon be able to cultivate to the Mahayana stage and reopen the space loopholes.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
"It's great, I finally have someone to keep me company."
Zhao Xingyue tried her best to persuade Qin Haodong to go to Xuanwu Academy, apparently just to find someone to embolden him.
After the two people discussed it, they flew together in the direction of Xuanwu Academy. However, Zhao Xingyue didn't seem to be familiar with the road and took the wrong path several times. In the end, they finally saw the shadow of Xuanwu Academy in the distance after asking around several times.
When he came to the sky above the academy, Qin Haodong couldn't help being slightly surprised. It was indeed one of the top academies in Lingwu Continent, but it was also a bit too big, almost like a small city.
When approaching Xuanwu Academy, two people jumped off the back of the three-legged golden toad. Qin Haodong put it into the spirit beast bag, and the two of them walked towards the gate together.
The gate of Xuanwu College is magnificent, just like a city gate in a costume movie. There are several tables next to the gate with a banner that reads "Freshman Registration Office."
Just as the two people walked over, a middle-aged man who looked like a teacher said enthusiastically: "Are you here to sign up?"
Qin Haodong glanced at the middle-aged man. As expected of Xuanwu Academy, any teacher has already reached the early stage of virtual refining.
He said: "Hello, teacher, we are here to register."
The middle-aged man said: "Welcome to Xuanwu Academy. Please pay the registration fee for a top-quality spiritual stone, and then take the academy's test. If you pass, you will be a member of our Xuanwu Academy."
“The registration fee is so expensive?”
Qin Haodong looked confused. When he was in the world of cultivation, he also used spirit stones as a common currency. The problem was that he didn't have many top-quality spirit stones and no one was left.
Moreover, the registration fee requires a top-quality spiritual stone, which is a bit too expensive. Although the storage ring contains countless Chinese coins and US dollars, it seems to be no different from waste paper on this continent.
The middle-aged man said: "We are one of the four most famous colleges in the continent. The registration fee only charges one top-quality spiritual stone, which is already very cheap."
Whether it's expensive or not is secondary. The key is that Qin Haodong really has no money now.
He shook his head helplessly, and it seemed that he could only speak to Zhao Xingyue. Judging from her luxurious clothes, she must be a child of a wealthy family, and she should not care about the registration fee for a top-quality spiritual stone.
But just when he turned around, before he could speak, Zhao Xingyue said shyly: "Brother Qin, can you lend me 100 gold coins first? I will pay you back later."
"Well……"
Qin Haodong was stunned. What was going on? Before he could speak, the other party borrowed money first.
In desperation, he turned around and said to the middle-aged man: "Teacher, we don't have that much money, can we sign up first and pay it back later?"
When he heard that he had no money, the middle-aged man's face immediately turned cold: "Pay the registration fee to take the exam. This is the college's system, and there is nothing I can do about it."
As expected, it was difficult to move anywhere without money. Qin Haodong brought Zhao Xingyue to the side, and the two began to discuss again.
He asked: "Aren't you here to sign up? Why didn't you bring any money?"
Zhao Xingyue said rather embarrassedly: "I was in a hurry when I came out, so I forgot to bring money. If you have money, you can lend it to me first, and I will definitely pay it back to you twice as much in the future."
Qin Haodong spread his hands and said, "I came out of the mountains and I don't have a penny. What can I lend you?"
Zhao Xingyue said in embarrassment: "What should we do? Today is the last day for enrollment in Xuanwu Academy. If we fail to register, we will have to wait until next year."
"We can't wait, let's find a way."
Qin Haodong was eager to improve his cultivation and return to Earth as soon as possible. He did not want to waste even one day, not to mention a year.
Although there are no top-quality spiritual stones, his storage ring contains countless supplies. See what is valuable and exchange it for some gold coins to sign up.
Not far from the front door of the college is a bustling commercial street, which is very bustling with people coming and going.
There is a liquor store at the corner of the street, with a big sign hanging on the door with the three characters "Shi Li Xiang" written on it.
The wine shop's business is very good, and people come in to buy wine from time to time.
Qin Haodong walked over, and the fat boss immediately came up to him: "Brother, do you want to buy wine? We have authentic ten-mile incense here, and you only need 100 high-grade spiritual stones to buy a jar.
You two can have a taste and I hope you will be satisfied with our wine."
The fat boss was very good at business. As he spoke, he sent two small cups filled with wine to Qin Haodong and Zhao Xingyue respectively.
