The First Academy in the Cultivation World

"Of course!" Ling Yan'er said confidently, "It's not easy to come to a secret realm. Opportunities like this for free shopping don't come around often. We have to be frugal!"

"You don't need these two copper coins." Dongfang Zichu didn't understand where Ling Yan'er's stingy and generous personality came from.

Ling Yan'er hummed and said, "But I feel like I'd be at a loss if I didn't take anything."

Ling Yan'er removed all the intact shelves in the three rooms, and after confirming that there was nothing useful left in the three rooms, she walked out and said, "Let's go to the next place."

Dongfang Zichu flew in front and took Ling Yan'er to the second place.

The houses here have collapsed, and the vines that should have been planted in the yard have now covered the entire building. Dongfang Zichu had to use magic to clear them before he could walk in.

He can fly in by himself, but if he doesn't clean it up, Ling Yan'er can't get in.

Ling Yan'er walked in and saw the collapsed courtyard. She asked in confusion, "It's collapsed like this. Could the formation be here?"

Dongfang Zichu said, "It's very likely. Look elsewhere for plants like this. Most people wouldn't come in to check it out if they saw a yard like this."

Ling Yan'er felt that Dongfang Zichu's analysis made sense, especially the intact building they had visited before, which had been searched countless times.

Ling Yan'er picked up those shelves because there was nothing else inside them except the shelves, not even a blank piece of paper with no words on it.

All the white paper was taken away. Ling Yan'er felt that she was able to pick up these shelves because those people really didn't need them.

Ling Yan'er felt that she had nowhere to stand in this piece of ruins, so she stood at the door and watched Dongfang Zichu flying here and there.

Dongfang Zichu suddenly stopped at a certain spot and asked Ling Yan'er, "After we take away the things in the formation, the buildings here will probably collapse. Are you sure you want to take everything away?"

"Will it collapse if I take the first one or the last one?" Ling Yan'er asked cautiously.

"The first one." Dongfang Zichu said, "Taking away one will destroy the formation. Of course, if we take away the first one, it will collapse."

Because of the formation, this place has been able to remain here for so long, but of course that’s not all.

Ling Yan'er asked curiously, "Shouldn't it take some time to remove the formation? Will these be available?"

Dongfang Zichu said: "Normally, this is the case, but this formation also has a repair effect."

"Repair effect?" Ling Yan'er repeated.

Seeing that Ling Yan'er didn't understand, Dongfang Zichu patiently explained, "It means that although this place looks collapsed, the formation will slowly restore it, so there's still a complete building here."

Otherwise, he would find it strange that there were collapsed buildings everywhere inside, but the gate and wall outside were still intact.

If the formation has a repairing effect, then that makes sense.

Ling Yan'er looked at the ruins before her and doubted Dongfang Zichu's words: "I don't think there are many intact courtyards here, right?"

"Yes." Dongfang Zichu said, "You are right. There is a good thing buried inside that can gather spiritual energy. It can gather spiritual energy on its own and then supply the formation. That's why the formation here is still functioning."

"So, if we take away the things in the formation, the yard here will return to its damaged state because it will no longer be supported by the formation?" Ling Yan'er asked.

Dongfang Zichu flew to Ling Yan'er and replied, "That's right."

"You actually know this formation?" Ling Yan'er asked, "I didn't expect you to be so well-hidden. Is this the location of the first formation?"

"It's here." Dongfang Zichu said.

Although he could see the formation here, he could not see the formation of Ling Yan'er's academy. Whether it was the buildings or the ground there, they all gave people a natural feeling.

Like here, you can see there is a formation inside as soon as you arrive, but in Ling Yan'er's academy, there is no trace of the formation anywhere, but none of them are ordinary.

Even the most ordinary-looking ground cannot be destroyed, let alone other places.

"Then let's find the other places first, and then come back to take it after Ling Ziye has searched this place." Ling Yan'er said.

"No need to look for it deliberately. Once we have confirmed this one, the locations of the other several places can be deduced." Dongfang Zichu said, "Let's just go and see if there is anything else useful."

With Ling Yan'er's style of plucking feathers from passing geese, she would probably be able to find a lot of junk.

Dongfang Zichu was right. Ling Yan'er had indeed picked quite a few. When she looked at a soft couch again, she suddenly thought of a question: "You said that the buildings here were restored by the formation. Will these things be damaged after we take the things in the formation?"

She quickly opened the backpack on her phone to check the description. Only when she saw that there was no description of a broken item did Ling Yan'er breathe a sigh of relief.

But he still felt uneasy and stared at Dongfang Zichu, wanting to hear what Dongfang Zichu had to say.

Dongfang Zichu heard Ling Yan'er's question and said helplessly, "I already said it was a building. This formation can only restore buildings. If it could be restored, there wouldn't be tables and chairs with missing limbs like this."

Ling Yan'er looked at the chair with two legs missing and the table that was split in half, and put the couch into her backpack with confidence.

After collecting all the things, Ling Yan'er dared to say with confidence that there was nothing useful left in the places she and Dongfang Zichu had looted.

Just as she was about to go to the next place with Dongfang Zichu, Ling Yan'er heard the sound of something collapsing.

Dongfang Zichu flew to the roof to check, and Ling Yan'er looked down at her phone.

After a while, Dongfang Zichu came down and said, "Ling Ziye and that person met. Should we go over?"

Ling Yan'er put away her phone and asked, "What's the other party's cultivation level?"

She didn't see it on her phone.

Dongfang Zichu asked, "Do you think I can see it now?"

"Then you wait and see, is Ling Ziye the one with the upper hand or the other party has the upper hand? If Ling Ziye can beat us, we won't go over." Ling Yan'er said.

Dongfang Zichu resigned himself to his fate and flew up to observe for a while before saying, "They are evenly matched, and their cultivation levels appear to be similar."

"Then we won't go." Ling Yan'er said, "Let Ling Ziye experience it on his own."

Then I went to the next place with Dongfang Zichu. There was basically nothing valuable in this secret realm.

Although there were none, one could still pick up some medicine bottles that had fallen on the ground and some broken magical weapons.

Because most of the people coming in are at the Jindan stage or above, some low-value items just fall on the ground and no one wants them.

Ling Yan'er specifically picked up this loophole. She is the main one. Don't even think about getting anything valuable from where she goes.

She even left the curtains alone.

Well, it’s not called curtain cloth, because people don’t use curtains here. It’s the kind used as partitions. Ling Yan’er didn’t know what to call it, and since it can be hung up like curtains, she just called it curtain cloth.

Dongfang Zichu was amazed at first, and later Ling Yan'er joined in, and he actually felt the joy of treasure hunting.

Ling Yan'er ignored the fight between Ling Ziye and her, but listened to the sounds of Ling Ziye fighting getting closer and closer.

Ling Yan'er came out of the building, fearing that it would collapse and she would be buried inside.

"Is Ling Ziye unable to win?" Ling Yan'er asked after coming out. After asking, she took out the mirror, turned the black pearl side outwards, and stared at the direction of the fight.

Dongfang Zichu flew up and took a look before saying, "Yes."

"Then let's go." Ling Yan'er touched her hair and said, "It's time for me, as the principal, to save the teacher from this dire situation."

Dongfang Zichu was speechless, but still honestly put his hand on Ling Yan'er's shoulder.

After all, although Ling Yan'er has no spiritual power, her protective shield that comes from nowhere is indeed safe.

Ling Yan'er thought she had to walk a long way before she could see Ling Ziye, but she didn't expect that as soon as she walked out of the yard, a wounded Ling Ziye, who was vomiting blood, fell at her feet.

Ling Ziye looked up and saw Ling Yan'er. His pupils shrank and he asked Dongfang Zichu, "Why don't you stay away?!"

Before Dongfang Zichu could say anything, he saw a white-haired man flying over from that direction. His body was covered in blood and he looked seriously injured.

He saw Ling Yan'er and was about to speak when he suddenly fell from the air.

Ling Yan'er put away the mirror and asked Ling Ziye, "How are you?"

Ling Ziye used his knife to support himself, stood up, looked over there warily and said, "It's okay."

Dongfang Zichu didn't expect Ling Yan'er to be so straightforward. After the crisis was resolved, he flew over to untie the purse around her waist and took off the rings and bracelets on her hands.

Ling Ziye was about to speak out to stop him when he saw that the other party didn't react at all.

After taking out a Qi and blood-replenishing pill from the storage ring and swallowing it, he heard Ling Yan'er's smug voice: "I told you to come here if you can't beat me. The dean has your back. Do you believe it now?"

Ling Ziye looked at Ling Yan'er, then looked at the person whose body had been touched by Dongfang Zichu.

Dongfang Zichu took the spoils and gave a ring to Ling Yan'er: "He has a storage ring, which I'll give you first."

Ling Yan'er was about to say that she couldn't open it, so it would be useless to give it to her, but when she saw the beautiful shape of the ring, she swallowed her refusal.

Dongfang Zichu tossed the things in his storage bag and storage bracelet that he couldn't use and that Ling Yan'er probably didn't bother to give away to Ling Ziye and said, "These are for you. Don't say we don't share our things with you."

Ling Ziye put the things away silently.

He also didn't expect that the person who was slightly better than him couldn't even last a single encounter with Ling Yan'er, and Ling Yan'er didn't even let him say a word.

If Ling Yan'er knew what Ling Ziye was thinking, she would definitely say: The villain dies because he talks too much, and he must be killed with one blow.

What's more, he and Dongfang Zichu are outliers in this secret realm. After all, the lowest level of cultivation is Jindan, and their cultivation levels do not meet the requirements.

Ling Yan'er said, "If we meet him later, we'll just say I was injured by a monster and my cultivation was temporarily blocked, and he is..."

Ling Yan'er was just about to say that Dongfang Zichu was injured and his cultivation had regressed when she heard Ling Ziye say, understanding Ling Yan'er's meaning very well, "He's a spirit beast that can transform into a human form, and he came in inside a spirit beast bag."

"That makes sense." Ling Yan'er nodded: "That's what I said."

Dongfang Zichu: "Is there anyone who wants to ask for my opinion?"

Ling Yan'er glanced at Dongfang Zichu, then said, "It doesn't matter. Your master has already called me, so it makes sense for me to be your spiritual pet."

After saying that, he picked out a purse from his backpack that matched his clothes and hung it up.

He admired the small purse and nodded. It was perfect. It could disguise an ordinary small purse as a spirit beast bag.

Dongfang Zichu held the storage bag he had robbed, and his silence was deafening. Ling Yan'er didn't even want to pretend to use the storage bag, so she just used an ordinary purse. Could she be any more perfunctory?

Ling Ziye said, "This looks like an ordinary purse, right?"

Even if you have to please others, at least be careful.

Ling Yan'er pretended not to hear. None of the three storage bags in Dongfang Zichu's possession looked good, and she would definitely not use them.

Dongfang Zichu guessed Ling Yan'er's thoughts and changed the subject, saying, "You're injured. You should recuperate first. Yan'er and I will be here to help you protect the law."

There's no one here for the time being, but I'm not sure if anyone will come.

Ling Ziye didn't argue, but sat down and began to regulate his breathing.

As for whether Dongfang Zichu really brought it in with the spirit beast bag, no one would care. After all, no one would care whether Ling Yan'er was wearing the spirit beast bag or not.

Even if she didn't, people would probably think that she stole someone else's spirit pet.

Ling Yan'er and Dongfang Zichu said that the guardian really found a step to sit down.

Glancing at the corpse not far away, Dongfang Zichu saw Ling Yan'er looking down at her phone and asked, "Why don't you take this opportunity to bring him back to the academy to be a teacher?"

Ling Yan'er turned her eyes away from her phone, raised her head and asked in confusion, "Who?"

Seeing the body across from him, he asked, "Him?"

Dongfang Zichu said, "Yes, he and Ling Ziye are equally matched in fighting, and their cultivation levels should be similar. Yet, you are not moved at all."

"But he's a red-named one!" Ling Yan'er said, "Our academy has certain requirements for recruiting teachers, okay?"

She wouldn't dare bring it back to school if it wasn't a green name. Even if she pretended to have a green name, a yellow name would barely be acceptable, in case she could fight for it and become a green name, but a red name would absolutely not be acceptable!

"Don't you ask everyone you meet if they want to be a teacher?" Dongfang Zichu asked curiously.

Why did he feel that Ling Yan'er asked whenever she saw someone? No, she should ask whenever she had the chance.

"Of course not!" Ling Yan'er said, "Who am I in your eyes? Am I that picky?!"

Ling Yan'er felt a little guilty as she spoke, as if she really hadn't been picky.

Hua Qingfeng, who had fallen from the sky, was immediately retained at the school. The secret realm was distributing recruitment jade slips everywhere. Ling Ziye came without any tests at all, and Su Hongxiu came directly after she said she wanted to come...

The same was true for Lan Lian, who was drawn, and he was assigned to the group directly. The same was true for Cui Ruyue, Xie Hanshan and others who were met later.

Well, Ling Yan'er felt that she was still restrained and did not invite Song Mingcheng and his wife to come. She was also very restrained in not inviting Xia Yunyun from Furong City and her two junior brothers to be teachers.
