Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty Seven: Spring Thunder is Coming

The next day.

Three pieces of news came out from Yujing City, once again shocking the world, and countless people were talking about it.

Two of them are rumors released by the court. One is that the court is preparing to implement the New Deal next year. In addition to reforming the administration of officials, it is to implement "officials and gentry will pay for food and serve together" nationwide;

The other is that the imperial court will establish martial arts schools in all prefectures and counties next year to govern the world's practitioners.

By then, all those who have reached the Xiantian realm can enter the martial arts academy to practice. In addition to receiving tax exemptions, all soldiers and generals in the future army will be selected from the martial arts academy.

As for the third piece of news, it is about Zhutian Martial Arts Hall.

Zhutian Martial Arts Hall will recruit the fourth batch of disciples on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month next year. They are required to be under twenty years old and possess the peak acquired cultivation level.

To ordinary people, the first two pieces of news may not seem to have much to do with them, but to the world's aristocratic families, they are like the prelude to a storm.

Countless people who were originally hidden appeared one after another and came to Yujing City, preparing to participate in the general examination after the spring, enter the imperial system, and occupy official positions to ensure the interests of their respective families.

As for the last piece of news, it made countless people excited.

For them, Zhutian Martial Arts Hall can be called the ancestral home of the Qi training system.

Now that the fourth batch of disciples is about to be recruited, it is natural that countless people are yearning for it.

However, the two major prerequisites eliminated 99% of the people, and they were not even qualified to register.

But even so, there are still tens of thousands of people who meet the conditions, no one knows how many.

After receiving the news, these people left quickly and stayed away from home for several years.

Therefore, in the twelfth lunar month of winter, there were a large number of pedestrians on the official road, which was supposed to have few tourists.

They have the same destination, which is Yujing City.

Even countries outside the region have sent their most talented disciples to come to the Daqian Dynasty.

…………

Time passed and the end of the year soon came.

In Zhutian Martial Arts Hall, Li Yizhi devoted himself to studying the "Book of Changes" and "Tao Te Ching" every day.

Although he was quite proficient in these two scriptures before, he never thought about them in terms of cultivation and ignored them.

Now that he studied it carefully again, Li Yizhi felt that every word of the scripture was really precious. It seemed that every verse contained extremely mysterious truths that could be transplanted into the cultivation system.

And the more you study it, the more profound it feels. Every time you study it, you can have a different experience.

It was this kind of understanding of Tao that made Li Yizhi make great strides in his Taoism. In just ten days, his Taoism foundation reached the level of a thunder disaster.

However, Li Yizhi was not in a hurry to survive the thunderstorm, and there was no thunderstorm in the world for him to survive.

At the same time, as his understanding of these two scriptures deepened, Li Yizhi's doubts became more intense.

Such two peerless scriptures should appear most in the world of cultivation like Yangshen, not the world of the previous life. Because the world of the previous life was a lawless world, and there was no cultivation at all.

Although Li Yizhi was puzzled, he could only keep it in his mind for the time being.

On New Year's Eve, Li Yizhi gave himself a day off.

The interior and exterior of Zhutian Martial Arts Hall were filled with red lanterns.

The streets that had been blocked were finally quiet today.

On the one hand, it’s because everyone has gone home to celebrate New Year’s Eve; on the other hand, it’s also because many booksellers are printing innate methods so that people no longer have to crowd here to read them.

After the Spring Festival, Li Yizhi's life resumed again. He studied two scriptures every day, and in a blink of an eye, it was the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

Just after the Lantern Festival, the selection of disciples at the Zhutian Martial Arts Hall finally began.

Hong Yi became famous all over the world because he was appointed as the examiner by Li Yizhi a few days ago.

Although Hong Yi had already accumulated some fame before this, in terms of the whole world, he was just unknown.

Because of this, many dissatisfied people came to challenge him.

But without exception, everyone was defeated by Hong Yi with one move and had to be convinced.

As a result, a rumor spread throughout Yujing City. It was said that Hong Yi was Li Yizhi's close disciple. Otherwise, why would Hong Yi have reached the peak of innate cultivation, far surpassing everyone else?

Because of this rumor, Hong Yi became famous and became the senior brother of all qi practitioners in the world.

Although Hong Yi also explained it to others, because Li Yizhi did not accept disciples, as the first person to be taught the method of Qi training, although Hong Yi was not a senior brother, he was no different from a senior brother.

Prince Jade was happy to see this scene, because after Hong Yi became the 'Big Brother', he was respected and close to countless Qi practitioners. He also took the opportunity to recruit a large number of talents through Hong Yi.

You must know that there are more than 30,000 people who came to take the assessment this time. The vast majority of them are civilians with simple backgrounds, making them the most suitable to recruit.

After spending five days, the selection of the fourth batch of disciples of Zhutian Martial Arts Hall was finally concluded.

Among this group of fifty people, there are six in the Xiantian realm, and the others are all at the peak of the acquired realm, and may step into the Xiantian realm at any time.

Prince Jade personally selected ten of his close followers, who were sent to the Zhutian Martial Arts Hall by Hong Yi along with these disciples.

These cronies of his are not bad, they all have peak acquired cultivation, but compared with this group of selected people, they are far behind.

Zhutian Martial Arts Hall.

Li Yizhi looked at the roster in his hand, which contained detailed information about each disciple.

He touched his chin with a strange look in his eyes.

Because he discovered that the people on the roster were not only people from foreign countries, but more than half of them were from various noble families.

There are only ten people with real civilian backgrounds, and they are basically at the bottom.

This is not to say that these ten people are the least talented, but compared to the children of aristocratic families, their education level and daily access to resources are far behind them.

Although Qi training does not depend on resources, taking more elixirs will definitely enhance your cultivation and speed up your cultivation.

For example, among the six Xiantian realm disciples, one of them comes from the royal family of Daqian, and five of them come from the various families of Daqian.

Li Yizhi was a man of education, but he didn't care about the identities of these people.

However, it can be seen from this roster that both the royal family and the aristocratic families have already acquiesced in the existence of Zhutian Martial Arts School, or they can say that there is nothing they can do about it.

Otherwise, they would never send the best disciples to Zhutian Martial Arts Hall.

Li Yizhi was very concerned about the training of this group of disciples, because they would be his most important martial arts seeds and would shoulder the important task of passing on the method of Qi training.

Therefore, in addition to the public classes in the morning every day, various martial arts are taught one-on-one in the afternoon.

Back in the world of the Tang Dynasty, he collected countless techniques, and now he needs these disciples to pass them on, so Li Yizhi used the sect as the basic unit and taught various techniques to these sixty disciples.

In other words, after these sixty disciples leave, they can each establish a completely different sect.

Time passed, and in Zhutian Martial Arts Hall, Li Yizhi taught his disciples in an orderly manner.

Outside Zhutian Martial Arts Hall, Jade Capital City became even more lively, because the examination was about to begin, and countless people came from all directions.

And just a few days before the test, a spring thunder exploded, awakening the earth to life.

Li Yizhi looked up at the gray sky, his eyes shining brightly, and said to himself: "The spring thunder has finally come, and it's time for me to survive the thunder tribulation."

Although he had to teach his disciples during the day, Li Yizhi would still stay up late at night and study two scriptures.

Therefore, in the past month or so, his cultivation has improved rapidly, and his foundation has reached the level of the second thunder tribulation.

In this way, he will survive a thunderstorm without any period of weakness.
