The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 189: Iceberg Beauty Lu Yuanzhi (6k)

Just like that, as the second uncle explained bit by bit, the few of them headed towards the academy.

The second uncle has now changed his name to Si Yunya. Because of his special performance, it took only a few years for him to win the favor of Lin Daochen. He was accepted as a student in the inner courtyard and was carefully taught about formations.

Now, the second uncle can condense thirty-seven spirit seals and is steadily progressing towards becoming a second-level formation master.

That Lin Daochen was in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. From what Second Uncle said, he was not far from condensing three thousand spirit seals and becoming a third-level formation master.

If he succeeds, he will become the third formation master in the entire fourth-level cultivation country to reach such a realm.

"The academy's enrollment period has passed. If you want to enter the academy, you can only be recommended by someone inside, and that means me!"

The second uncle said with a proud look on his face.

The three of them immediately offered flattery.

But I couldn't help but murmur in my heart.

You said that you were a legendary Soul Severing Realm cultivator, and as long as you showed your cultivation, you could become friends with the dean in no time, enjoying endless respect and resources.

But he insisted on becoming a disciple of a master at the Spirit Transformation Realm, and pretending to be young every day, and he never got tired of it. This mentality is really something.

However, considering the Second Uncle's previous incredible behavior, they gradually became accustomed to it.

"There's no need to change the name, no one will care." The second uncle reminded again.

No matter how famous Zhou Qing is in the Eastern Region, his name will not be known to Haomiao Mansion. Even the other three regions of Lingyun Mansion are probably completely unaware of it.

After all, everyone is busy, who cares who you are.

The three of them nodded continuously, remembering the words of the second uncle.

Soon after, at the end of a misty valley, a towering and huge building appeared faintly.

Zhou Qing and the other two were filled with excitement. As they got closer, they saw a huge archway standing in front of them, with five ancient and vigorous characters "Bai Yu Taixu Courtyard" engraved on it.

Passing through the archway, a wide white marble staircase winds up with no end in sight.

The second uncle took out the token of his academy, and as ripples appeared, several people came out.

When you reach halfway up the mountain, the outline of the academy becomes clearer and clearer. You can see magnificent palaces scattered among the lush forests, which makes people yearn for it.

Moreover, the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, filled with spiritual energy, and flashes of light can be seen from time to time.

Those were the academy disciples who were practicing in seclusion in the mountains, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Even vaguely, there are many hidden caves scattered among them.

These caves are exclusive training places prepared for students with strong strength and great potential.

Just like the second uncle, he has his own private residence, no one disturbs him within a ten-mile radius, and he can do whatever he wants.

shhhhhh!
At this moment, several rays of light flashed by quickly. Zhou Qing stopped immediately, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Although he didn't see clearly who the other party was, there was a golden entry note above one of their heads, but it flashed by so quickly that he didn't have time to take a closer look.

"what happened?"

Yan Xiaohu and Lu Yaoyao noticed something was wrong with Zhou Qing and looked puzzled.

Zhou Qing was quickly eliminating the people bound by [Mind Insight] in his mind.

Several figures actually drew an arc in the air and then turned back.

"Xiaoliu, Junior Brother Zhou, Junior Brother Yan!" The other party's surprised voice came from above, followed by a loud laugh.

"Big Brother!"

"Senior Brother Li!"

The moment they saw the person's face clearly, the three of them ran forward excitedly.

One of the three greatest joys in life is meeting an old friend in a foreign land, especially when the person in front of you is your senior brother who is as close as a brother.

The three of them never expected that they would run into Li Daoxuan so dramatically here.

The last time they came back, a few of them had a small gathering in the Jade Kitchen. During the meal, Li Daoxuan shared with everyone the valuable experience he had accumulated in the battles with the Cang Yan Taoist Palace and the Tianji Sect. He also talked about his regret and emotion over Luo Xue's death.

After that, I went out again to comprehend my own artistic conception.

He probably didn't know that Zhou Qing later killed Sima Yaoji, Yu Ziqi and Li Hanshan in succession.

Moreover, the war among the five sects had already ended, and the situation in the entire Eastern Region had undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Senior Brother, why are you here?" Lu Yaoyao couldn't suppress her inner excitement and asked first.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu also looked over quickly.

Looking at these familiar and friendly junior brothers and sisters in front of him, Li Daoxuan couldn't stop smiling and had to explain patiently.

It turned out that he seemed to have reached a bottleneck since he left last time, but there were too many things he was concerned about in the Eastern Region.

After thinking it over again and again, he decided to leave and find a completely unfamiliar place, put aside all distractions, and re-examine his path of cultivation from the bottom up.

By chance, I came to Baiyu Taixu Academy. In addition, they had just started recruiting students in those days, so I was able to get in after passing the assessment.

Now he is a student in the inner courtyard. In fact, he came to the right place. One of the instructors showed great interest in his artistic conception, which was still in its ignorant state, and gave him careful guidance. Now he has gained a lot.

Today, according to the instructor's request, I will go to a place to hone my skills and deepen my understanding.

After hearing this, the three of them finally understood.

"What about you?" Li Daoxuan asked with a bright look in his eyes, full of anticipation.

Just as Lu Yaoyao was about to speak, several figures fell from the sky.

They all exuded the cultivation level of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. At this moment, their eyes were immediately attracted by the bright and charming Lu Yaoyao. Their eyes suddenly lit up, and an eager smile unconsciously appeared on their faces.

"Junior Brother Li, is this fairy your junior sister?"

"Hello, Junior Sister. I'm Geng You, a disciple from the inner court. You can call me Senior Brother Geng."

"My name is Tan Yan, and everyone calls me Old Tan."

Several people seemed extremely enthusiastic. Out of politeness, Lu Yaoyao could only force a smile and nod slightly.

Seeing this, Li Daoxuan immediately felt dissatisfied. After all, he knew the nature of these people.

He immediately said, "Senior brothers, let's hurry up and leave. The task our instructor gave us is time-sensitive and cannot be delayed."

Afterwards, he quickly sent a message to several people: "Let's talk later!"

After saying that, he pulled the reluctant people away.

"Senior Brother Li also hid his cultivation at the early stage of Nascent Soul. No wonder he called those people senior brothers!" Zhou Qing thought thoughtfully.

Yan Xiaohu jokingly said, "Tell me, are the three of us his nemesis? He specifically chose to start from scratch in an unfamiliar place, not wanting to have too many ties, and then the three of us show up in the blink of an eye."

"Let's go quickly!" The second uncle's gaze lingered briefly on Li Daoxuan's departing back, and then he stepped forward and urged him.

The three of them had no choice but to follow the second uncle and continue forward.

However, the nervousness I felt when I first arrived in a strange place gradually dissipated after meeting acquaintances, and I even felt a little relaxed and expectant.

At this time, the second uncle who was walking in front paused slightly, and the spiritual power around him surged quietly.

In the blink of an eye, the slightly old clothes on him fell off and were replaced by a brand new red clothes.

The three of them then remembered the academy rules that the second uncle had mentioned before.

In order to better motivate the disciples to make progress and clearly distinguish the levels of the students, Baiyu Taixu Academy stipulates that the inner court disciples must wear red clothes, while the outer court disciples must wear white clothes.

As they continued to climb the winding mountain road, the scene before them gradually became lively.

Everywhere he looked were outer court disciples dressed in white. When they saw the inner court disciples dressed in red, like the Second Master, their faces were full of respect.

The academy is different from the sect. For those who can enter the inner courtyard, cultivation is secondary. Only those who excel in a certain subject area will be valued by the instructors, and then given corresponding status and focused training.

Zhou Qing and the other two were dazzled by the huge square, the ancient buildings, the flying eaves and brackets that exuded a strong ancient charm, and the carved beams and painted rafters.

"Remember what I told you to do? Keep your cultivation at the early stage of the Nascent Soul. With the Void Realm Dharma you have mastered, Elder Lin shouldn't be able to detect it."

The second uncle reminded again.

Zhou Qing nodded slightly to show that he understood.

"By the way, just show a mark when the time comes. You should be aware of your Four Flowers Gathering at the Top, so don't act too high-profile."

"As long as I can be accepted into the inner courtyard by Elder Lin, I will have a strong endorsement in the future, and my abilities will be more easily recognized. In this world, origin and background can sometimes play an unexpected role."

This time, the second uncle gave instructions through voice transmission.

Then, he turned his gaze to Lu Yaoyao and Yan Xiaohu, his expression slightly relaxed, and said, "I can only recommend one person at the moment, so I'm afraid you two will have to stay in the outer courtyard."

"However, given your situation, there isn't much difference between the inner and outer courtyards. After all, you're only staying here for a short time, so just think of it as accompanying the Crown Prince in his studies."

Hearing what the second uncle said, the two nodded repeatedly.

In fact, they followed Zhou Qing here with the intention of going out for a walk, and they didn't really care whether they were in the inner courtyard or the outer courtyard.

"Alright, you two just stay on the covered bridge over there for a while. I'll take Zhou Qing to the inner courtyard!"

As the second uncle spoke, he waved his hand and strode towards the deeper part of the academy with Zhou Qing.

The two of them looked at a magnificent covered bridge not far away, spanning the shimmering Spirit Lake, appearing quite leisurely and contented.

After looking at each other, they walked towards the covered bridge.

Just after taking two steps, a figure suddenly passed through the air, but quickly turned back, and then came back gracefully with a light "Huh" sound.

The two men stopped immediately and looked up, only to find that the beautiful woman was wearing a light blue robe with ice patterns, like a flowing glacier, emitting a hint of coldness.

Her long black hair was like a waterfall, casually tied up, with an ice-shaped hairpin inserted diagonally into it, adding a touch of coolness to her temperament.

Her face is absolutely beautiful, but the coldness she exudes makes people feel intimidated.

Not in white, nor in red. Furthermore, the pressure the beautiful woman exerted on the two men was immense, even more terrifying than that exerted by Sect Leader Cao Zhengyang.

The two of them were suddenly startled. This was a mentor who had reached the great perfection of the Spirit Transformation Realm!

Not daring to slack off, the two of them quickly saluted respectfully: "Greetings, Senior!"

The beautiful woman's eyes kept looking at Lu Yaoyao, and soon they suddenly focused, as if she had discovered a rare treasure.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and the spiritual power around her quietly surged. A faint ice-blue light spread towards Lu Yaoyao like a silk thread.

Lu Yaoyao only felt a bone-chilling chill enveloping her entire body, and soon, an ice lotus-shaped shadow instinctively projected out from her body.

The petals of the ice lotus were crystal clear, and each one was sparkling with a cold light. It opened quickly, directly competing with the ice-blue light.

When the beautiful woman saw this, the ice-blue light on her body instantly withdrew, and the surprise in her eyes became more intense.

"What's your name?" the beautiful woman asked. Although her voice was still cold, it contained a bit of excitement that was difficult to conceal.

Lu Yaoyao quickly replied, "Junior Lu Yaoyao."

"Lu Yaoyao? What a nice name! It seems you are not a student of the academy?"

The beautiful woman had sharp eyes and looked at Lu Yaoyao's clothes carefully before asking.

Lu Yaoyao said respectfully, "Senior, I came here with my senior brother and am not a student yet."

When Lu Yuanzhi heard this, he immediately turned his gaze to Yan Xiaohu.

Yan Xiaohu blinked and said immediately, "It's not me, it's my junior brother. He has been taken in by an inner court disciple to be introduced to Master Lin."

"Master Lin? Master Lin Daochen?" asked the beautiful woman.

The two nodded.

The beautiful woman did not dwell on this, but looked at Lu Yaoyao again and said, "Are you interested in learning ice-based skills from me?"

Lu Yaoyao was stunned and at a loss for a moment.

The beautiful woman said, "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lu Yuanzhi, and I'm an inner courtyard instructor. You have excellent aptitude. If you study with me, I guarantee that you'll reach the middle stage of the Nascent Soul within six months."

Lu Yaoyao's eyes lit up immediately, but after thinking about it, she shook her head.

"I need to wait a moment. If my senior brother can become an inner courtyard disciple, I am willing to learn from you." Lu Yaoyao said.

If Zhou Qing is not liked, it would be pointless for her to stay here. Naturally, she cannot easily promise others something that is not certain.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Lu Yuanzhi's eyes flashed with surprise, and he looked at her with interest.

How many people wanted to become her disciple but were unable to do so? Now, he took the rare opportunity to extend an olive branch, but was rejected by this little girl.

It seems that her senior brother must be very important to her.

For a moment, Lu Yuanzhi seemed to understand something.

But if she missed such a rough gem, she would probably regret it.

"I understand. Please wait here for a moment. I'll go check on Master Lin!"

After Lu Yuanzhi finished speaking, the spiritual power around him surged, turning into a blue stream of light and instantly disappeared from the spot.

After Lu Yuanzhi left, the outer court disciples who had been holding their breath in awe suddenly burst into exclamations.

"Oh my god, what did I just see? Instructor Lu actually took the initiative to recruit students. This is incredible!"

"Yeah, Instructor Lu has always been cold as ice. Not to mention talking to students, she doesn't even bother to pay attention to other instructors. What's wrong with her today?"

"Teacher Lu's specialty, the ice-based techniques, have long been mastered to perfection. I heard he even assisted two legendary Soul Severing Realm masters."

"I also heard that Master Lu has an extraordinary status in the imperial capital and a great background."

"That little girl's temperament is very similar to Master Lu's, but the person next to her has a round face and small eyes, and looks cunning."

……

Everyone was talking at once, and their eyes were full of curiosity, envy and amazement when they looked at Lu Yaoyao.

Lu Yaoyao was stunned. She had never expected that the beautiful woman with a cold and elegant temperament just now had such a powerful background.

But then again, she had been staying in Taiqing Sect for a long time, and even her master didn't notice her special physique.

On the contrary, it was the third mother who had a unique vision and was the first to see her uniqueness. She bestowed on her the advanced mental method "Bingqing Jue", which enabled her to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in one go.

And as he practiced more deeply, he became more and more proficient in practicing the magical skill "Ice Lotus".

At this moment, Yan Xiaohu was holding the old hen and looking around.

"Senior Brother Yan, what's wrong?" Lu Yaoyao asked.

Yan Xiaohu said, "How come I'm such a handsome swordsman, but I don't have a mentor who would beg me to learn from him?"

Lu Yaoyao: "..."

"The fourth one can become an inner courtyard student even with his eyes closed, but don't leave me alone in the outer courtyard. That would be embarrassing." Yan Xiaohu said with a wry smile.

……

At the same time, in the inner courtyard!
Zhou Qing followed closely behind the Second Uncle. Every red-robed disciple who passed by greeted the Second Uncle warmly when they saw him.

I have to admit that no matter how the second uncle changes his appearance, his good popularity seems to be innate.

As they moved forward, the second uncle was not idle either, and continued to tell Zhou Qingpu about the situation of the academy.

The college is divided into three echelons.

First, there is the elusive dean. No one knows what he is busy with or when he will show up.

Even the second uncle had only seen him by chance from afar two years ago, and only then was he sure that he was at the Soul-Severing Realm.

Of course, if anyone knew that the dean of Baiyu Taixu Academy was such a terrifying boss, I'm afraid that people from countless sects in the entire Longyuan County would flock to him.

The reason why the dean hid his cultivation was probably because he didn't want to be disturbed.

The second echelon consists of eight instructors. Except for Lin Daochen, the other seven have all reached the Great Perfection of the Spirit Transformation Realm and have extraordinary attainments in their respective major fields.

Of course, even though Lin Daochen is in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, the moment he condenses three thousand spirit seals and is promoted to a third-level formation master, that is the day of his breakthrough.

Next is the third echelon, including service personnel such as law enforcement officers, who basically come from several major sects around Haomiao Mansion, and they are all in the Nascent Soul stage.

These law enforcement officers are responsible for maintaining order in the academy and handling various trivial matters on a daily basis. Although their cultivation is not as good as that of the first two echelons, they are also an indispensable part of the normal operation of the academy.

After listening to this, Zhou Qing already had a rough outline of the college in his mind.

As the two walked along the winding path, the scenery around them soon became more and more quiet, with flowers, plants and trees scattered around, and a bamboo forest came into view.

"Does Master Lin live in such a quiet place?" Zhou Qing couldn't help but ask, his eyes full of curiosity and amazement.

The second uncle nodded and said, "Of course not. A master should behave like a master. Moreover, Master Lin is extremely demanding of his students. In his view, formations are a rigorous discipline that does not tolerate any carelessness or laziness."

"Plus, he is currently striving to become a Level 3 Formation Master, so he is almost completely immersed in the study of formations. Living here is also to allow him to better focus on practicing formations."

It is said that one never stops learning. Even though he is at the Soul-Slaying Realm, he admires from the bottom of his heart all those who were truly devoted to their studies and whom he met while learning from them.

"Master Lin only comes out to teach occasionally now. After all, most of the inner court disciples just want to use this opportunity to build a relationship with him and become familiar with him."

"But when it comes to formations, talent is crucial. It's not something you can achieve by just being clever. Take me, your second uncle, for example. I'm incredibly talented in this area."

The second uncle puffed out his chest with a look of pride on his face.

Zhou Qing nodded repeatedly with admiration on his face.

The second uncle suddenly smiled, reached out and hugged him, saying, "Of course, although your talent may not be as good as mine, it is still top-notch among the people I have met in my life."

Zhou Qing smiled and said nothing.

I have to thank you for this. I was an ordinary person before. If it weren't for your mutated Heavenly Qi that you yourself were unaware of, how could I have been reborn and have the opportunity I have today.

As the two walked and talked, they unknowingly came to the depths of the bamboo forest. A quaint courtyard was quietly located in the middle, surrounded by green bamboos, like a paradise.

The courtyard gate was half-open, and inside was only a simple stone house. Its walls were made of large green stone slabs, and the roof was covered with thick thatch, making it look particularly quaint.

In the center of the courtyard, there is a stone table and several stone benches. A thin old man is sitting on one of the stone benches, concentrating on deducing the formation diagram on the table.

The old man had an immortal look, his hair was neatly tied behind his head, the wrinkles on his face were as deep as if carved by a chisel, but his eyes were bright and lively.

Although his expression was focused and serious, there was a kindness in his face that made people feel close to him.

"I am Si Yunya, a student, and I am honored to meet you, sir!" The second uncle bowed respectfully to the person inside through the door.

However, Lin Daochen in the room seemed to be completely immersed in the carving of the formation diagram, turning a deaf ear to the sounds from the outside world and not giving any response.

The second uncle did not make any more noise to disturb him, but just waved his hand gently, indicating Zhou Qing to wait quietly outside the door with him.

His expression was as calm as water, without any impatience, as if he was already used to waiting like this.

At this moment, Zhou Qing's eyes consciously fell on the second uncle, and he had a new understanding of him.

To be honest, he didn't know much about the second uncle.

Most of the stories about the second uncle in the past were told by my elders.

Although Zhou Qing had come into contact with the Second Uncle many times, he always thought that he was a complete old naughty boy with a very casual style of doing things, always doing things that people would never expect.

But looking at him now, his face was calm and his eyes were full of respect and admiration for the people in the room.

Who could have imagined that the person standing outside the courtyard would be a powerful and aloof Soul-Slaying Realm expert, and so humble, which was such a huge contrast to his usual behavior.

Time passed slowly, the sun set quietly in the west, and about two hours later, a long sigh was heard from Lin Daochen in the quiet courtyard.

He also put away the formation diagram on the table. It seemed that the previous deduction had consumed a lot of his energy, and his expression was a little tired.

At this moment, Lin Daochen seemed to notice the two people waiting outside the door. He raised his head, looked through the half-open courtyard door, and said gently: "That's Yun Ya outside, right? Come in."

Upon hearing this, the second uncle immediately responded respectfully and took Zhou Qing into the courtyard.
