The First Academy in the Cultivation World

Ling Yan'er and a few others followed Song Mingcheng to an exquisite courtyard, where there were already quite a few people.

Seeing Song Mingcheng coming over, someone who knew him came forward and greeted him: "City Lord Song."

Song Mingcheng also nodded: "Fellow Daoist Xu, Fellow Daoist Zhou."

"Why is City Lord Song here?" Xu Qiran asked.

"Come and see if there are any clues here." Song Mingcheng said, "Have you found anything?"

Xu Qiran shook her head: "It's the same as the previous ones, nothing unusual at all."

Song Mingcheng looked at Ling Yan'er and the other two. Ling Yan'er was looking down at her phone and didn't notice Song Mingcheng. Ling Ziye saw her and just nodded at Song Mingcheng and touched Ling Yan'er. Ling Yan'er looked up at Ling Ziye and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ling Ziye was speechless for a moment, then asked, "Is this the place where he last disappeared?"

Ling Yan'er nodded: "It's here, what's wrong?"

Ling Ziye suddenly remembered that before Ling Yan'er discovered the clue, there was no one else around. The time at the City Lord's Mansion did not count. After all, the location was special, and they would not be allowed to be alone in the yard.

Ling Ziye shook his head and said nothing.

Song Mingcheng didn't know if he had noticed something, but he just glanced at the three of them and continued to chat with them.

It was indeed the same as the previous places, with no traces left. The two cultivators chosen were also children who had just entered the Tao. The child from the City Lord's Mansion was six years old, and the child from this family was seven years old. Both children were at the first level of Qi training.

Ling Yan'er looked at the five spots of light here that were different from before. As expected, the game gave more clues as it progressed.

Although she really wanted to see what clues were given in the light spot, Ling Yan'er also knew that a group of Yuanyings were different from one Yuanying. If she clicked on the light spot now, she would get nothing and it would be divided up by everyone.

I don't know if he saw through Ling Yan'er's plan, but after a while, the city lord Song Mingcheng led everyone out of the yard. Ling Yan'er also clicked on several light spots. Four of them were wisps of demonic energy, and one of them was approaching the gate of the yard.

The only difference is a map of Lingyun City.

Dongfang Zichu flew over and picked up the map, and asked in surprise, "Why is it a map?"

Whether it is a demon cultivator or a kidnapped child, it is impossible for them to carry a map of Lingyun City with them. Even if they did, they would not drop it.

After all, the map is different from the previous purse, pearls, and jade pendants. The latter are things on the body and it is very likely to fall off during the struggle.

Ling Yan'er held up the map and said, "You don't understand this, right? This map is a clue for us."

"What's the hint?" Dongfang Zichu asked as he handed the map to Ling Ziye.

After leaving Dongfang Zichu's hand, the map in Ling Ziye's palm changed from card size back to normal map size.

Ling Yan'er hummed, "I don't know yet."

She suddenly noticed another light on the path outside the courtyard gate. When she walked out of the courtyard, she saw Song Mingcheng walking back: "Any new discoveries?"

Ling Yan'er walked over to the light spot, tapped her phone, and said, "This is it."

A trace of demonic energy immediately appeared at the location of the light spot. Song Mingcheng frowned: "This is the road we just walked on."

Ling Yan'er looked at the new light that appeared at the corner, feeling a little surprised: "A tracking route appeared so quickly?"

The game also gave a week to complete the task? She thought it was so difficult.

Ling Ziye came out and asked, "What tracking route?"

Ling Yan'er walked to the corner and said, "There's demonic energy here too."

After she clicked on her phone, she saw a wisp of demonic energy appear, and the previous demonic energy had dissipated.

Following Ling Yan'er, Dongfang Zichu had been observing the demonic energy at the gate of the courtyard, on the path, and at the corner. He finally understood what the tracking route Ling Yan'er was talking about.

He said in surprise, "You mean we can find that demon cultivator by following the direction of this demonic energy?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, yes." Ling Yan'er said.

Although he knew that Ling Yan'er's magic weapon was magical, Dongfang Zichu still found it difficult to understand no matter how many times he saw it.

Several people followed Ling Yan'er all the way to the group of people that Song Mingcheng had brought out earlier.

From the phone, Ling Yaner saw that they were all a group of green names, but the next light spot appeared at the door.

Ling Yan'er stood not far from the doorway and clicked on her phone. Looking at the demonic energy that appeared out of nowhere, a group of people were puzzled: "How could there be demonic energy here!"

People who were talking and exchanging information with each other before are now separated from strangers.

Someone turned their gaze towards Ling Yan'er: "Is it you? You're already filled with demonic energy as soon as you appeared here?"

Ling Yan'er was speechless. Before she could say anything, Song Mingcheng spoke up: "We came here to track the demonic energy."

"City Lord Song," Xu Qiran, who had been chatting with Song Mingcheng earlier, said, "What's going on? Did you know there were demonic cultivators among us, and that's why you gathered us here?"

Could Song Mingcheng say he knew nothing? He didn't answer Xu Qiran's question, but instead said, "I have a magic circle here that can detect demonic energy. For everyone's safety, please input spiritual energy into the magic circle one by one."

After saying that, Song Mingcheng took out a formation plate from the storage ring. In the middle of the formation plate was carved Tai Chi and two yin and yang fish.

In order to prove himself, Song Mingcheng took the lead in inputting a wisp of spiritual energy into the array plate, and the white fish swam and ate up the spiritual energy.

He handed the formation plate to Ling Yan'er who was beside him. Ling Yan'er was silent for a moment and said, "Well, actually, I'm just a mortal. I don't have any spiritual power."

Then he handed the formation plate to Dongfang Zichu, and the spiritual power input by Dongfang Zichu was indeed eaten by the white fish.

After handing the formation plate to Ling Ziye, Ling Yan'er whispered, "Aren't you a demon? Why are there also white fish? If the black fish is a demon cultivator, then shouldn't the demons have any reaction?"

"You shouldn't ask me this, you should ask City Lord Song." Dongfang Zichu said.

Facing the gossipy looks from Ling Yan'er and Dongfang Zichu, Song Mingcheng said, "This is to test the demon cultivators. In addition to the demonic energy, the demon race's spiritual power is also divided among the human race."

After hearing this, it seemed as if this formation was not so powerful because it could not distinguish between humans and monsters.

Ling Yan'er suddenly remembered and asked Dongfang Zichu, "By the way, are there any ghost cultivators?"

"What is a ghost cultivator?" Dongfang Zichu asked.

"It's like when people die and become ghosts, the more miserable their death is and the deeper their obsession is, the more powerful they become?" Ling Yan'er said.

Dongfang Zichu shook his head: "I haven't heard of it. Isn't it true that the body dies and the soul disappears? Can they become ghosts after death?"

"That means there is no reincarnation or rebirth, nor the cycle of reincarnation?" Ling Yan'er said.

"If there is reincarnation, why should we cultivators pursue the great way? Why not just wait for the next life?" Ling Ziye said.
