This immortal cultivator is different from what I imagined.

Yun Lingxi's slightly excited heart was extinguished under her father's warning eyes.

Well, she didn’t want to do anything bad. She just wanted to experience the feeling of walking arrogantly in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

If the Great Zhou Dynasty comes out in the future, there will definitely be no chance. Is it necessary to scare her like this?

The child is still young, so take it easy. What if you get scared?

Yun Lingxi pouted her mouth and looked at her father with resentful eyes.

Yun Xuan was helpless. He felt that his daughter's personality was becoming more and more like her mother's. It seemed that he would have to discipline her more in the future.

After being depressed for two seconds, Yun Lingxi felt a little strange again.

"Dad, weren't you always unwilling to tell me about spiritual practice before? Didn't you say you would wait until I had spiritual roots before telling me? Why are you willing to tell me now?"

Yun Lingxi tilted her little head and looked at her father, her big eyes flashing. She felt that there might be a surprise, and her face was filled with anticipation.

Yun Xuan looked at his daughter who had just turned five years old and felt relieved but also a little helpless.

His daughter is so smart that she can guess a lot of things from just a few clues. I don’t know if it’s good or bad in the future.

After pondering for a moment, Yunxuan met his daughter's expectations.

"Dad has checked it out for you. You have spiritual roots already formed in your body. However, you are only five years old this year. Your spiritual roots have not yet been fully formed and you cannot practice yet. Daddy will teach you some other things first."

"Really? That's great. Don't worry, dad, I will learn whatever you teach me from now on. I will definitely learn it well and never act recklessly."

Yun Lingxi was very happy. She could finally start practicing. Although she couldn't practice yet, learning knowledge was also a kind of practice.

Yunxuan had a headache after hearing his daughter's assurance. He wasn't worried at first, but after hearing his daughter's assurance, he became a little worried!

He used to give others headaches, but now it's his daughter's turn to give him headaches.

He began to understand the elders somewhat.

Yun Lingxi was born with a powerful soul and was very suitable for learning alchemy, weapon refining and formation techniques. However, Yunxuan himself had little experience in alchemy and weapon refining, so he started teaching from talismans.

Talismans are the basis of formations. People who practice talismans may not necessarily know formations, but those who understand formations will definitely be able to draw talisman.

The talisman is divided into talisman paper, talisman patterns and formulas.

Rune paper is the basis and can be used to draw rune patterns.

Of course, all prerequisites require spiritual power provided by monks, and drawing talismans consumes spiritual energy.

Talisman paper is divided into grades according to the different refining materials, from grade one to grade nine, with grade one being the lowest and grade nine being the highest.

Rune patterns are also divided into levels according to their power. Just like rune paper, there are levels one to nine, with level one being the lowest and level nine being the highest.

The levels of talisman paper and talisman patterns correspond to each other. High-level talisman paper can draw low-level talisman patterns, but high-level talisman paper cannot be used to draw low-level talisman patterns.

Generally speaking, talisman paper is universal. An unusual situation is that special runes need to be blended with special materials into the talisman paper to refine them successfully.

Is there anyone who is picky about this thing? Yun Lingxi was surprised, but fortunately, the power of this kind of talisman was usually much stronger than ordinary talismans.

As a more powerful being, it is normal to have some requirements. Yun Lingxi nodded in approval.

When Yun Lingxi started studying with Yun Xuan, all the major mansions in the outside world were quietly making preparations for the academy.

In the city of Kyoto, all the major mansions have been very lively recently. There are children of school age and those with spiritual roots at home, who are happily making preparations.

If there are no school-age children at home, and those whose children have no spiritual roots, they are also making preparations to have more children, and they must have one with spiritual roots.

Most of the first batch of students in the academy were the heirs of the major families and important officials of the Zhou Dynasty. Anyone who had spiritual roots and could cultivate, no matter how many spiritual roots they had, or whether their qualifications were good or not, could enter.

These are the foundations of the Zhou Dynasty and must be cultivated first.

In fact, it was mainly because the Preparatory Academy had plundered a lot of things and resources from major aristocratic families and important officials of the imperial court, and it had to give some benefits, otherwise the emperor, who always complained every time he went to court, would be a little unbearable.

Otherwise, admission must be based on merit. After all, cultivation consumes resources, and those with poor qualifications will definitely consume more resources, and even if the resources are consumed, it may not be of any use.

Because of this issue, every time this group of people is called together to discuss it, they blush and their necks are thick.

The main reason is that after the age-appropriate children of these guys were tested, some had good spiritual roots, but most of them had not very good spiritual roots, and some had very poor spiritual roots.

The main family, side branches, relatives and friends tested a large group of people, but in the end there were less than [-] people with spiritual roots. And most spiritual roots are not very good.

The college had insufficient resources when it was first established, so the best way was to concentrate resources on cultivating a group of talented people first, and then collect resources to train more people.

But when everyone has worked hard, no one wants their own things to be cheaper than others. It’s okay to collect resources later, but what if they can’t?

This is something that cannot be determined for sure. If by then the person whom we have concentrated resources on training dies midway, wouldn’t it be like trying to draw water from a bamboo basket?

After much debate, it was finally decided that all the descendants of various aristocratic families and important ministers with spiritual roots would be admitted to the academy, but only those from the main family, and those from side branches, relatives and friends would be admitted on a merit-based basis.

Once the selection scope and conditions are determined, the rest is simple.

A month later, a convoy of about a thousand people set off to escort the disguised young men and young ladies from various prefectures to the Hengyun Mountains.

The Hengyun Mountains are at the border of the Zhou Dynasty, and on the other side of the Hengyun Mountains is another kingdom.

The journey of [-] to [-] miles was not close to the capital of the Zhou Dynasty. Everyone was traveling lightly and equipped with good horses, so that they could travel thousands of miles in a day. The group hurriedly walked four or five times slowly. It took a month to finally reach the foot of Hengyun Mountain.

The main reason is that these young ladies are all pampered, and they are not very old, ranging from six to sixteen years old, and they cannot move too fast.

The section of Hengyun Mountain where the college was established has long been blocked. The reason is that there is a rebellion in the mountain that needs to be suppressed. Anyone who goes up the mountain privately will be treated as a rebel.

A group of people entered a city at the foot of Hengyun Mountain.

When viewed from a distance, the city wall is tall and majestic, like a war fortress.

After entering, everyone found that this was an empty city, no different from the suburbs, and it was still under construction.

This city was built to suppress rebellions in the mountains and prevent them from escaping from the mountains and harming the people below.

Therefore, the imperial court built a city here to guard the troops, to protect the people at the foot of the mountain, and to prevent rogue bandits from gathering here again.

This large mountain range of [-] to [-] miles is a good place to hide and escape.

Therefore, many desperate people hid in. There were always more than ten or twenty bandit dens, large and small, in the mountains.

And there are many roads into the mountains. After all, the mountains are vast and there are many people living under the mountains. They all rely on the mountains for their livelihood.

There are many roads up the mountain. As for why they chose to build the city here, except for the group of people in the court, others may not know.
