The First Academy in the Cultivation World

Chapter 218 Lan Lian's Heart-to-Heart Talk

Dongfang Zichu didn't know why Ling Yan'er said that, so he just silently placed a table and four chairs here.

When Ling Yan'er saw Dongfang Zichu take out a chair, she immediately lay down on it and praised him, "You understand me more and more."

Dongfang Zichu didn't say anything, but he understood Ling Yan'er's nature. She would never stand if she could sit, and would never sit if she could lie down.

How can such a large platform be without a table and chairs? The reason why we brought out a few more chairs and placed them there is because Lan Lian will come up here soon.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Zichu asked, "You don't usually invite others, why did you suddenly invite Lan Lian over?"

Ling Yan'er went wherever she went by herself. At most, if she saw him, she would take him with her, but if she didn't see him, she would just forget about it.

You know, except for the first day Lan Lian came, Ling Yan'er rarely chatted with Lan Lian afterwards. Today, she actually asked Lan Lian to come to Zhaixing Tower together.

It's a bit strange no matter how you think about it.

Ling Yan'er took out a ruler from her phone and placed it on the table: "I haven't given him the ruler yet."

"You can give it to him at the dormitory door." Dongfang Zichu said.

Seeing that Dongfang Zichu wasn't buying this trick to change the subject, Ling Yan'er had no choice but to say, "Do you believe me when I say I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with him?"

Dongfang Zichu shook the goose bumps on his arms: "Do I need to avoid it?"

"If you don't believe me, forget it." Ling Yan'er snorted and opened her phone to play a game. Recently, she has been addicted to single-player puzzle games.

Not long after, Lan Lian came up. He looked at the Star-Picking Tower and asked, "How can we feel the power of the stars from a platform like this?"

Rather than saying that you can feel the power of the stars here, it is better to say that this building is more like an observation deck.

This is also the reason why no one has come to Zhaixing Tower even though Ling Yan'er has been released there for such a long time. The platform is originally high, and there is no resting platform in the middle except for the top floor. It is all stairs.

"I don't know." Ling Yan'er shook her head and said, "This is my first time here too. Please sit down."

Lan Lian sat on the chair opposite Ling Yan'er and asked Ling Yan'er, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"I want to know how the major sects train their disciples?" Ling Yan'er asked.

"Then you can ask Hua Qingfeng. He is from Qiantian Sect, the largest sect in the world of cultivation. If it is difficult for him to say, then I think Qin Xue also seems to be from a big sect." Lan Lian avoided answering.

Ling Yan'er knew, of course, that Hua Qingfeng and Qin Xue were both from the main sects. She was just curious about Lan Lian, so she asked, "You knew Xie Jingyun had been missing for ten years, right?"

Lan Lian didn't know why Ling Yan'er jumped so much, but she still said, "I heard about it. Is there anything wrong?"

"Aren't you curious about how long you've been missing?" Ling Yan'er asked.

Lan Lian said, "Even if they knew, what would happen?"

He extended his spiritual sense to encompass the entire Star Picking Platform, ensuring that no fourth person would know about the conversation.

"Even someone like Xie Hanshan, who's at the Fusion Stage, had no doubts about my presence. I've never heard of his name before, so I must have been missing for quite some time." Lan Lian adjusted to a more comfortable position. "I wonder if my former Taoist partner is no longer alive. If he's already perished, that would be such a shame."

Lan Lian expressed regret, but the expression on her face was clearly one of joy.

"How long is the lifespan of a Mahayana cultivator?" Ling Yan'er muttered to herself, "He's aiming for Ascension, so he should have a lifespan of at least a few thousand years. He shouldn't die that easily, right?"

Then he thought about how their entanglement had lasted for at least two thousand eight hundred years. So, if several thousand years had passed, it would be hard to say whether the other party was still alive.

After all, the life span of the Mahayana stage is long, but it also takes him a long time to reach the Mahayana stage.

"But he was already thousands of years old when we met." Lan Lian rarely spoke about his father's situation. He knew Ling Yan'er was curious. "Although the lifespan of a late Mahayana cultivator is long, I also betrayed him when I left. Even if he were still alive, he wouldn't have lived a good life."

No wonder Lan Lian was so sure that there would be no end to his wife's misfortune. After all, the other party wanted to kill him, and he did something right.

After all, he has lived for so long, and he is not a pure and innocent person. Pure and innocent people cannot live long in the world of cultivation.

"How did you trick me? Tell me in detail?" Ling Yan'er stared at Lan Lian, her face full of curiosity.

Lan Lian noticed Ling Yan'er's gaze, smiled, and then said, "Don't be so curious, kid."

Ling Yan'er couldn't even say "I'm an adult now". Damn it, sooner or later she would dig out the whole story of Lan Lian.

Of course, it’s not just Lan Lian. There are so many teachers in the school, but only Hua Qingfeng’s story can be read. Maybe it’s because Hua Qingfeng is young.

"Then can you tell me about your eyes?" Ling Yan'er asked, "Isn't it said that every breakthrough is a chance to rebuild your body? Why are you still blind? I heard that even severed limbs can be regenerated."

Lan Lian didn't hide it from Ling Yan'er and said, "My eyes are related to my martial arts. Even if I can't see, it won't affect me."

"Is it a problem with the technique?" Ling Yan'er asked.

Lan Lian nodded and then shook her head: "That's another story."

He opened his lifeless eyes and looked at Ling Yan'er. Ling Yan'er looked at his completely black pupils and felt like she was being stared at by a ghost in a supernatural story. Ling Yan'er got goose bumps at the first sight.

Fortunately, Lan Lian only opened his eyes briefly before closing them again. He continued, "You're right. Even broken limbs can be regenerated during a tribulation, let alone a pair of eyes. I thought the same thing when I lost my sight."

"So, in order to escape being hunted down in the secret realm, I didn't listen to my master and forced a breakthrough. The price I paid was my eyes. I thought I would recover after the next breakthrough, but it didn't."

"After this incident, I also understand that if you want to get something, you have to pay a price."

Just like how he agreed to the contract with Caledonia College in order to escape the pursuit of his former Taoist partner, the price was that he lost his cultivation and could not leave here.

But as long as he is still alive, as long as he lives longer than his former partner, he is worth it.

However, it would certainly be better if he were still alive and could give him the opportunity to take revenge with his own hands.

Ling Yan'er nodded thoughtfully, "Indeed, there are gains and losses, so forcing a breakthrough is the worst option."

But if he doesn't break through, he won't be able to escape the pursuit. Even if the price is a pair of eyes, it is better than losing his life.

"What about you? Why did you open an academy here?" Lan Lian asked.

This question was really hard to answer. Ling Yan'er was silent for a long time before she said, "If I said I actually don't know why I'm here, would you believe me?"
