Chapter 113: Mr. Bai, Night Entry into the Deer-Chasing Academy
“The Deer-Chasing Academy’s teachers have a recommendation slot that requires no review!”
“As long as I can catch a teacher’s eye, joining the Deer-Chasing Academy is as good as settled!”
“So…”
“Today is Mr. Bai’s first time teaching. Soon, she’ll be entering from here.”
“As long as I can seize this opportunity, the chance to shoot to the heavens is coming!”
You look at Zhang Dabiao’s radiant expression. He had clearly already sunk into his own fantasy.
“What’s this Mr. Bai’s background?” you say thoughtfully. If you could join the Deer-Chasing Academy, it should be easier to investigate, right?
“Mr. Bai reached Nascent Soul at a hundred, and cultivated to the Spirit Transformation realm in just over two hundred years. She can be called a true child of heaven!” Speaking of Mr. Bai, Zhang Dabiao’s face filled with excitement, and he grew much more talkative.
“And not only is her talent good and her cultivation profound, she’s even reputed to be one of the Deer-Chasing Academy’s ten great beauties!”
“Mr. Bai is here!” Someone shouted, no one knew who, and in an instant every cultivator in the inn ran outside, watching Mr. Bai appear from the distance.
You look over at the sound, and see a rather familiar person…
“Mr. Bai, this junior began cultivating at five, built my Foundation at twenty, formed my Golden Core at a hundred, and have cultivated for over two hundred years. I am now a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!”
“Mr. Bai, look at me. I possess a Heaven-grade fire spiritual root. My future is boundless!”
“Mr. Bai, this is a small token of regard from my family elders. Please take a look…”
“Mr. Bai…”
“Move!” Mr. Bai’s Spirit Transformation cultivation erupted, suppressing every Nascent Soul stage cultivator around her, forcing them to their knees, trembling.
“People like you, who know nothing of striving forward and only know how to rely on crooked ways — you think you’re worthy of entering my Deer-Chasing Academy?” Mr. Bai let out a cold laugh and waved her large hand. The crowd parted to make way.
You watch Mr. Bai’s departing figure, and fall into thought.
“Ah, my dream of shooting to the heavens, shattered!” Zhang Dabiao slowly climbed to his feet, standing beside you and watching Mr. Bai’s departing back, sighing silently.
You smiled and turned to enter the inn.
That night, you leave the little Flood Dragon at the inn, and alone, you alter your appearance and infiltrate the Deer-Chasing Academy!
You take out a jade talisman. This was specially forged for you by the Old Monster, capable of isolating divine sense detection from any cultivator below the Great Vehicle stage!
With this thing, you dared to infiltrate the Deer-Chasing Academy so boldly!
The Deer-Chasing Academy, as the Purple Firmament Immortal Dynasty’s largest academy, was rumored to have an Academy Master who was a Tribulation Transcendence stage powerhouse! One of the most powerful figures in the Purple Firmament Immortal Dynasty in terms of surface strength!
You sneak into the Deer-Chasing Academy’s disciple dormitories, borrow a disciple’s uniform, put it on, and disguised as a Deer-Chasing Academy disciple, you begin wandering the academy.
Through some small tricks, you learn the location of the Deer-Chasing Academy’s back mountain, and stride forward.
“Stop! Who let you come here?” A cold voice sounds from behind you.
A flicker of killing intent flashes through your heart and vanishes. You slowly turn around, and upon seeing who it is, you smile. “Mr. Bai, this disciple couldn’t sleep, so I thought I’d take a stroll. Before I knew it, I ended up here.”
Bai Ruoxi looks at you coldly. “Don’t let it happen again. Go back!”
“Junior Sister Ruoxi, who is this?” A young male cultivator appears, comes to Bai Ruoxi’s side, and looks at you as he asks.
“If there’s nothing else, Senior Brother, please return.” Bai Ruoxi did not answer, and instead issued a dismissal.
You glance at the young cultivator, and retrace your steps.
Not long after, the young cultivator comes to your side, leaving together with you.
“Ahem, Junior Brother, what is your relationship with Ruoxi?”
You keep walking on your own, with no intention of paying him any mind.
“Junior Brother, I don’t care who you are. From now on, stay far away from Ruoxi! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite!” Seeing that you ignore him, Shen Qiu grows angry and directly threatens you, while a sliver of his mid-stage Spirit Transformation cultivation leaks out.
Hearing the threat, a flash of killing intent passes through your heart, but you quickly conceal it. If not for the fear of exposing yourself and causing the Deer-Chasing Academy’s guards to tighten, you would have struck and killed this man right now!
“Heh, fine, boy. You just wait!”
You watch Shen Qiu’s departing figure, stop your steps, fully conceal your cultivation and aura, and infiltrate once more.
Passing by Bai Ruoxi’s small courtyard, you do not stop. A hundred years have passed, things have changed, and your karma with the Bai family has long since been settled.
Following Jun Xiaoyao’s memories, you make your way to the back mountain. To ensure you are not discovered, you release your Spirit Transformation Primordial Spirit power and probe the back mountain.
Soon, you sense quite a few cultivators present on the back mountain!
But these cultivators’ auras are all extremely weak, as if deliberately concealed, and you discover quite a few soundproofing formations as well.
“Tsk tsk, the Deer-Chasing Academy’s disciples really know how to play!” Fearing you might see something you shouldn’t, you hurriedly withdraw your Primordial Spirit power and head toward the location where Jun Xiaoyao found the cleaver.
“This blade appeared suddenly. Could it have fallen from the void?” you think silently. According to Jun Xiaoyao’s memories, he did not know how this blade had appeared either.
Standing at the spot where Jun Xiaoyao found the blade, you gaze into the depths of the void, extend a hand, and lightly slice at the space before you. A crack appears, and the void manifests before you.
Your Primordial Spirit power delves deep into the void. A long while passes, and you find nothing abnormal.
“Why does this feel like carving a boat to seek a sword?” you say thoughtfully.
Having found no clues, you wander about the Deer-Chasing Academy’s back mountain.
Dawn comes. Last night was a peaceful night, and you gained nothing in the back mountain.
You leave the Deer-Chasing Academy, return to the inn, and think silently.
With no leads, you take out the cleaver and silently observe it.
“According to the Old Monster, this blade has already gained spirituality. It’s just that the blade soul within is severely damaged and has fallen into slumber.”
“But the blade itself has already been fully repaired by the Old Monster. So why has the blade soul still not awakened?”
Unable to figure it out, you simply stop thinking about it, sit down in place, and begin meditating to cultivate, preparing to infiltrate the Deer-Chasing Academy again at night to investigate.
“Mr. Bai has come out!” The entire inn falls into commotion once more. Your brow furrows slightly, and a trace of Primordial Spirit power leaks out.
At the Deer-Chasing Academy’s main gate, you see Bai Ruoxi once again. Bai Ruoxi does not hesitate for even an instant, and flies off into the distance.
