Role-Playing Version! Arrival at the Immortal Academy!

The room remained quiet.

Neither of them spoke.

"Lu Yun doesn't like to talk." Yingyue made a mental note of this.

She broke the silence first: "As your Daoist partner, I want to know about your past."

"I was born in the Holy City..."

Lu Yun didn't dare to refuse at all, and while talking, he studied the Heavenly Favor.

There's nothing to hide.

In front of Yingyue, he subconsciously downplayed the beautiful aspects.

The focus was on the tragedy.

The Dharma boat sped along, and the people on the deck discussed excitedly.

Only one or two floors, completely silent.

Lu Yun recounted that his mother died when he was six and his father died when he was seven.

He lived under someone else's roof from a young age and was bullied.

After five years of hard work, he was only assigned an eighth-rank official position because of his family background.

Turning around to face the annulment of the engagement, the targeting by the Shen family, and the humiliation inflicted by the scions of prominent families on the deck just moments before...

This was the first time Yingyue had ever gotten so close to a man's past.

The gaze directed at Lu Yun held a greater degree of sympathy.

The couple is having a terrible time.

Lu Yun finished explaining when he had figured out the effects of "observing oneself through the mind and diligence being rewarded by Heaven".

"I wonder what the fairy's experiences are like?" Lu Yun asked tentatively.

If Yingyue spoke, it would prove that what she just said was no joke.

"My experience?"

A memory flashed in Yingyue's eyes, "My master found me in a pond at night and named me Yingyue."

Her tone was flat.

It was as if they were talking about something trivial.

Lu Yun listened, but didn't find anything particularly special about it.

But the brief description that followed left him speechless.

Yingyue began practicing swordsmanship at the age of six and entered the world with her sword at the age of ten.

With a mortal body, he slew bandits at the first level of Qi Refining with his sword.

Twelve cuts, two layers; thirteen cuts, three layers.

He embarked on the path of cultivation at the age of fifteen, and gained experience in the battlefield of immortals and saints.

He reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining at the age of eighteen.

He then spent another two years settling on the fragments of the Heavenly Abyss Ancestral Vein, and in one fell swoop, he forged a sixth-grade Dao foundation.

The difference between the two is like that between a small-town boy and a genius in a gifted youth program in their past lives.

"Why break through with only a sixth-grade Dao Foundation?"

Lu Yun felt something was off. "Don't you need to reflect for a few years?"

Yingyue glanced at him strangely: "What's wrong with a sixth-grade Dao Foundation? Just keep improving."

"Can the foundation of one's cultivation continue to improve after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage?"

"Of course, Foundation Building is the process of improving one's Dao Foundation. Even a Ninth-Rank Mortal Foundation has the opportunity to transform into a First-Rank Dao Foundation."

Yingyue had an expression that said, "You didn't even know that?"

"I thought that Foundation Establishment determined one's entire life." Lu Yun smiled awkwardly.

The novel about his past life misled him.

The whole "foundation building determines one's destiny" thing is just a trick by the author to suppress the power level.

"Not to mention Foundation Establishment, even Golden Core is the same," Yingyue explained.

The two exchanged words back and forth, not like a couple practicing Daoist arts.

It's more like a master teaching a disciple.

Lu Yun was able to catch a glimpse of the scenery at a higher level.

Although it's not very useful for now.

But since Yingyue was willing to say these things, Lu Yun felt that she might be serious when she said she wanted to be his Daoist partner.

There's only one truth: she fell in love with me at first sight?

Lu Yun quickly denied one of the three great illusions of life.

Whatever the reason, he thus awakened a divine favor.

Although it's only at the beginner level, it's enough to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

If Yingyue rises step by step, even using the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages won't be a problem.

The "playing the beginner version" part was also very interesting.

As long as everyone recognizes his diligence, the effect of "Heaven rewards diligence" will be amplified.

At most twice.

Conversely, if everyone thinks he's a salted fish, the effect of "heaven rewards diligence" will be weakened.

"The old method of secretly working hard no longer works."

Lu Yun thought to himself, "I also need people to see it, spread it, and acknowledge it."

He thought for a moment, then took out the "Tai Xu Fu Qi Jue" from his storage bag and held it in his hand.

Start by always having a book in your hand.

Yingyue turned her head to the side, her black hair slipping down her shoulder.

I was a little confused, but I didn't say much.

"We're almost at the Immortal Academy."

Yingyue said, "I'll go ask my master first, and you can go and participate in the Immortal Hall assessment."

She handed him a token.

"Fighting is not allowed inside the Immortal Hall. There is a sword aura sealed inside. If anyone causes trouble, just take it out."

Lu Yun looked at the token.

The character "月" (moon) is engraved on it.

A sharp sword intent rushed towards me.

He hesitated.

I didn't dare answer.

Just looking at the token felt like being pricked by needles.

If I reach out, I'm afraid my hand will get cut off.

"It was my oversight," Yingyue realized.

A glimmer of light emanated from it, and the token became as smooth and warm as jade.

Lu Yun then took it.

A look of joy appeared on his face.

He hadn't forgotten how he had just offended those scions of prominent families.

If he goes out and says he is Yingyue's Daoist partner, people will just think he's crazy.

With the token, there's nothing to fear.

"Women will hinder my progress in spiritual cultivation."

Lu Yun's heart was filled with mixed feelings, "But the female senior can help me achieve enlightenment."

I wonder how long this gigolo can last.

The external Dharma boat sped along, gradually approaching a majestic immortal peak.

At the foot of Xianfeng Peak, a market town is tightly encircled.

It stretches for dozens of miles.

Pavilions and towers are scattered like stars among the mountains and forests.

All the cultivators from the surrounding ten thousand miles of the Azure Mist Domain gathered here.

Soaring through the air, moving freely and swiftly.

It was so spectacular that it left people speechless.

The fairy boat passed through the market and hovered in a large square at the foot of the eastern mountain of Xianfeng.

A beam of blue light descended.

The disciples of the Immortal Hall on the first floor lined up and walked onto the pillar of light, their figures disappearing.

Lu Yun bid farewell to Yingyue and gracefully descended from the third floor.

A clearing immediately appeared on the deck.

Disappointment flashed in the eyes of the disciples on the second floor; Yingyue had not broken the rules of the Immortal Academy.

"Brother Yun, what did Fairy Yingyue say to you?"

Shen He jogged over, her eyes shining.

She declared Yingyue to be her idol from the very beginning.

One day, she will teach that Deng Wenying a lesson like that.

"Let's go down first and talk about it later."

Lu Yun pulled Shen He and Qin Yue up to the pillar of light.

A flash of light, and my feet landed firmly on solid ground again.

From Purple Heart City to Fairy Town.

Lu Yun took a deep breath and felt that the air was sweet.

That is indeed the case.

The concentration of spiritual energy here is several times that of Purple Heart City, and it smells really sweet.

Meeting the expectant gazes of the two, Lu Yun did not mention the matter of a Daoist partner.

It's too ridiculous.

He pulled out the token and said he had gained favor: "From now on, we have someone behind us."

Moreover, Lu Yun felt that it might not work out, so it was better not to say anything.

"It must be Lu Ge's unyielding spirit that's making things worse..."

Qin Yue's praise made Lu Yun feel somewhat embarrassed.

At that time, he was preoccupied with how to quickly join the Holy Path before the aristocratic families could retaliate.

"That way, those aristocratic disciples won't dare to mess with you anymore."

Shen He clapped her hands. "Fairy Yingyue is such a kind person!"

What she was most worried about was that the scions of those powerful families would settle scores with her later.

He paused, then added, "But Brother Yun, you need to be careful and watch out for their underhanded tricks."

"Even Brother Lu has gained the favor of a Foundation Establishment True Person, how dare they?"

Qin Yue found it somewhat unbelievable.

They naively thought that having connections would prevent anyone from bullying them.

"Not to mention being appreciated, even Foundation Establishment cultivators ostracize him."

Shen He pointed to the group of aristocratic scions, "A hundred years have passed, and Qinglan Domain still only has five Foundation Establishment aristocratic families."

"Aren't they afraid of being killed by Foundation Establishment cultivators?" Qin Yue still didn't understand.

Shen He sneered: "Those scions of powerful families value their family honor more than their own lives."

The greatness of a family extends beyond its patriarch.

It depends on each and every one of us.

Lu Yun frowned: "Who said that?"

This doesn't sound like Shen He's words.

"Hehe...it's Ye Xiu."

Shen He stuck out her tongue. "He had someone pass me a note, telling me to remind you to be careful."

He paused for a moment.

"They'll definitely bow their heads under the noses of Foundation Establishment cultivators, but it's a different story outside."

Lu Yun looked into the distance.

The square is very large.

The scions of noble families occupied a corner, and after disembarking from the flying boat, they were constantly met with cold stares.

The people of Zixin City were isolated, and the Ye and Shen families banded together and huddled on the periphery.

The Feng family did integrate into that group of aristocratic clans.

"Please thank him for his kindness." Lu Yun nodded.

Ye Xiu's choice is beyond reproach.

Children from prominent families are born to enjoy abundant resources, but they also bear responsibilities.

This kind of person is very complex.

He knew all along, and you really can't blame him.

They're only good at being friends, never really open up to each other.

"Actually, even within the Xiantang family, they are not the only dominant force."

Shen He continued, "There are also many independent cultivation groups that recruit outstanding independent cultivators to help each other."

Lu Yun kept it in mind.

Joining a group of independent practitioners would be a good option if possible.

He wants to play it safe and develop peacefully, and try to gain more influence.
