Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

As the incoming dean of the academy, Zhou Yiqiao naturally cannot turn a blind eye.

He walked forward quickly and asked the four instructors directly.

"Today is the first day of enrollment for Phoenix Academy. Why are there children kneeling in front of the academy?"

When those people saw the unfamiliar Zhou Yiqiao coming up to ask, they were about to get angry. After seeing clearly the pressure of the golden elixir emanating from this man, they immediately changed their expressions and said respectfully.

"Senior Qi, this child is called Chu Tianxing. When he was young, he went up a mountain and was almost eaten by a monster. Fortunately, he was discovered by a passing monk and rescued. Unfortunately, he lost his legs."

"Senior also knows that before the achievement of foundation building, even leaking Yuanyang will affect the progress of cultivation, let alone this child's legs."

"After I refused him to join the academy, he knelt in front of the academy and refused to get up even after saying anything."

"Today is the first time for our Phoenix Academy to recruit students. If the process is delayed, I can't bear the blame from the sect, so I thought of taking this child away."

Hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao frowned, then looked at the trouser legs of the child named Chu Tianxing and found two withered tree trunks.

This tree trunk is extremely slender compared to Chu Tianxing's body. It must have been a prosthetic body cast for him by the monk who saved him when he was young.

"How old are you this year? Where are your parents?"

Zhou Yiqiao bent down, stretched out his hand to touch Chu Tianxing's forehead, input spiritual power into it, and asked at the same time.

"The boy is nine years old this year."

"After I was rescued by the immortal, my parents disliked me as a burden, so they left me here without knowing my whereabouts. I have no relatives."

This kid was quite tough. Even though he could tell that Zhou Yiqiao was an extraordinary person, he didn't show any timidity when he answered.

Zhou Yiqiao patted his head, withdrew his spiritual power and said calmly.

"In that case, you can practice with me from now on."

As soon as Zhou Yiqiao said this, not only Chu Tianxing, but also the four Foundation Establishment instructors in front of him showed shocked expressions.

With this senior's golden elixir cultivation, even the four of them wanted to be his disciples, but they never expected that a disabled child would win his favor.

Zhou Yiqiao naturally saw the eager eyes of these four people, but was in no mood to guess what they were thinking at the moment.

He threw out the jade pendant and said calmly.

"Ask your headmaster Xie Bao to come out and say that I am the academy dean who has come to take office."

The four people hurriedly picked up the jade pendant to investigate, and after discovering that it was indeed the academy token issued by Shang Zong, they immediately bowed.

"Senior, please wait a moment."

While the four of them were talking, the youngest among them hurriedly returned to the courtyard.

After a while, a wealthy middle-aged man with a generous heart and a fat body hurried over, followed by seven or eight monks.

The rich middle-aged man walked vigorously. Although he looked like he was about to fall, his lower body was extremely stable, and his cultivation in the late stage of foundation building was also extremely strong.

As for the remaining people, they are all at least in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. They are all dressed in gorgeous clothes and have impressive equipment. They are obviously high-ranking members of the academy.

"Junior Xie Bao, I have met Elder Zhou!"

Xie Bao walked three meters in front of Zhou Yiqiao, stopped, bowed his hands, and said respectfully, Elder Hao had already informed him of the information about the elder who came to take office, and he would not make the stupid mistake of not knowing Taishan.

"No gifts."

"Thank you, senior!"

"What are the admission criteria for our Phoenix Academy?"

Zhou Yiqiao waved his hand and asked calmly.

Xie Bao waited for his fat belly, not daring to look at Zhou Yiqiao, and replied.

"Returning to the elders, the bone age is required to be under ten years old, and the talent is at least three spiritual roots."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded.

"Well, very good. In that case, this child has passed the academy standards."

When Xie Bao heard this, his expression was stunned, and then he stuttered and spoke.

"But...but Elder Zhou, this child is incomplete after all. Whether he can successfully enter the Tao and become a Qi Refining monk is unknown..."

Xie Bao's remarks were also for the sake of the sect. On the first day of enrollment, someone entered the academy without exception. It was inevitable that someone with ulterior motives would take advantage of the situation.

Zhou Yiqiao also knew Xie Bao's worries, stretched out his hand to stop him from talking, turned to look at Chu Tianxing on the ground, and said.

"This child has a unique wood-attribute heavenly spiritual root, which is more than enough to enter my academy."

"Phoenix Academy teaches people without distinction. You didn't even test someone's spiritual roots, so you concluded that he is a loser who can't practice?"

What he said was neither salty nor light, but Xie Bao broke into a cold sweat when he heard it.

As the headmaster of the academy, he naturally knows the level of a single-attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root.

If this Chu Tianxing had no spiritual roots and just had the ordinary three spiritual roots, it would be fine, but it happened to be the heavenly spiritual roots that both sects should pay attention to.

When he thought that an unknown person's hat had been put on his head, his face immediately turned cold and he yelled at the four instructors in charge of testing.

"Elder Zhou is right. Our Phoenix Academy teaches people without distinction. No matter what their status is, if they come to study in our academy, they should be treated equally!"

"Why don't you test this little friend Tianxing's spiritual roots?!"

When the four instructors saw Xie Bao's sudden attack, their expressions suddenly became extremely ugly, and they were silent for a while. The remaining people were also in a state of silence, not daring to speak out at will.

Seeing that everyone had been beaten, Zhou Yiqiao snorted coldly and put the matter aside for the time being.

"Let's forget about it for today. Remember, these children come all the way to our Phoenix Academy to seek a future. No matter what their status is, at least we have to test it for them."

"Think about how you yourself entered the path of immortality, and don't let others harm your life because of your own thoughts!"

Zhou Yiqiao's scolding immediately made everyone feel extremely ashamed, and they all lowered their heads.

"You all perform your duties and arrange this matter as soon as possible."

After saying that, he leaned over and patted Chu Tianxing's head and said.

"Don't blame these lessons. In your situation, you did get twice the result with half the effort before building the foundation. Come with me, and I will teach you personally from now on."

After saying that, he took Xie Bao and He Yunxi, who had been silent, towards the academy.

Seeing this, Chu Tianxing struggled for a moment, and finally stood up with gritted teeth, and followed him under the envious eyes of many children studying.

With Xie Bao's guidance, the group of people took a winding road and soon arrived at the residence belonging to the dean of the academy.

An exquisite mansion with a Jiangnan garden flavor is located halfway up the Qingmu Mountain, covering an area of ​​one hundred feet.

There are all kinds of pavilions, rockeries and flowing water in the courtyard, and there is even a large spirit gathering formation to meet Zhou Yiqiao's cultivation needs.

There is an ancient pine in the side courtyard, and a stone pavilion sits under the ancient pine. Zhou Yiqiao led the three of them directly into the pavilion and sat down.

He looked at Xie Bao and asked in a deep voice.

"Tell me, what are your plans for this recruitment?"
