When Li Canran packed up all his things and was on his way to Tushen Peak, the system's long-lost notification sounded in his ears.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task-replacing the male protagonist in the end-of-month branch examination, and entering the lineage of the Demon God Sect with the No.1 score, please receive experience points: 120 points]

[The next mainline mission has been unlocked, replace the hero to obtain the Golden Feather Token of the Demon God Zongshu Pavilion, this mission can receive experience points: 500 points]

Golden Feather Order?

"what is that?"

Xiaotong said: "Entering the Zangshu Pavilion requires an official student identity card. All books in it need Lingyuan stones to borrow, and borrowing some banned books may require a higher level of authority, and Jin Yuling represents disciples who directly own it." highest level of authority."

Li Canran had some impressions.

The original book mentioned the matter of Jin Yu Ling, but the author did not write it in detail.

This is the next main line task, except that the reward experience value is a bit small, it is quite satisfactory to him.

"Then how can I obtain the Golden Feather Token?" He asked.

Xiaotong gave two words, "opportunity."

Saying it is the same as not saying it.

Li Canran knew that there was nothing to ask, so he casually clicked on the system interface and looked at it. The experience value in the upper right corner changed to 1445 points.

It's nice to have money to buy system feature packs again.

Or go to the lottery?

Or go to exchange for Lingyuan Stone?The 300 yuan he exchanged for the middle-grade Lingyuan stone last time was only a few dozen yuan left because he bought the thousand machine array disk and the raging fire array map, which was not enough.

Don't worry, Li Canran decided to let this experience point stay with him for a longer time, and make a decision after he is sure that he has thought it through.

Now let's take a look at the bounty task, it should also be refreshed.

He clicked on the bounty interface.

"Location Map: Northern Xuanqing Continent - Wanxi Mountain Range - Demon God Sect

Practice tasks: 3

Daily tasks: 5

[View details]』

"Practice task:

1. Bounty for subduing a low-level monster: 20 middle-grade spirit stones

4. Bounty for visiting the Sword Tomb in Tushen Peak once: 50 middle-grade Lingyuan stones

5. Reward for completing a Zongmen mission: 200 middle-grade Lingyuan stones』

Li Canran looked at the first daily task with a bit of a headache. He kept forgetting to go to the Chiyang Peak Medicine Garden to weed...

But to me now, five low-grade spirit essence stones no longer have any appeal.

"Delete the first mission," he said.

Xiaotong groaned, "The task cannot be deleted, the host just needs to ignore it."

While they were communicating, Li Canran had already arrived at the residence of Tushen Peak's official disciples.

Behind the shade of the tree is a simple and elegant pavilion with gray tiles and white walls, slanted eaves, and a small medicine garden hidden in front of the gate.Through the corridor of steps, you can see a martial arts training ground.

He followed a handyman disciple who had been waiting early into one of the courtyards.

Li Canran followed him for a few steps, and immediately recognized his identity, "Hey, isn't this you?"

He remembered that he had specially visited the examination institute because of the system task, and bumped into this handyman disciple who had to come to clean up alone after being bullied by his classmates.

He also asked him about Mr. Wu.

The person who was still leading the way was startled when he heard the sound, turned his head quickly, looked at Li Canran for a long time, and finally remembered, "You are the one who helped me clean the examination hall last time!"

"Yes, it's me." Li Canran laughed and said, "We meet again."

The man was surprised and said: "You have come to the first branch. It seems that your results in the unified examination of the branch division are very good. I heard that among this group of freshmen who can enter the first branch of cultivation, only those who stayed here before There are two newcomers, and you are one of them."

"I'm Xie Xiu." Li Canran twitched his lips.

The handyman disciple widened his eyes and said in shock: "You are Xie Xiu?! You have won two first places in your ranking, right! I have heard many people say it."

"what's your name?"

"My name is Yun Le." The man scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's still in the gas condensation period."

"Yun Le." Li Canran put his arms around his shoulders, pointed to a room next to him, and asked, "Who lives in the room next door?"

There are only two rooms on the side of this courtyard, and he occupies one, so the other room is also an official disciple of the foundation establishment period.

Yun Le turned his head to look, and said, "It's a man named Zhou Rong, who was promoted to the same line as you. Brother Xie, do you know him?"

"..."

"But he doesn't seem to be here yet."

Li Canran asked, "Is there still time if I want to change places to live?"

Yun Le understood what he meant in a second, "Brother, do you have conflicts with him?"

"That's it."

"You have to ask other people who live here, and it's okay to change privately."

At this moment, a person came to the door.

Li Canran looked back and found that the person who came was Kong Ling from the same line, wearing a red gauze dress, her skin was as bright as snow.

She looked at Li Canran with interest for a while, and asked in a crisp voice, "Are you Xie Xiu?"

"It's me, what's the matter?"

Kong Lingdao clarified his intention: "The Great Elder is looking for you and asked you to go there."

I wish Elder Hua to find him?

Li Canran asked, "Where can I find him?"

"The Hall of Elders."

He nodded, "I see."

"By the way, this is the identity card of your disciple, don't lose it." Kong Ling threw a jade talisman to him.

Li Canran took it and glanced at it, depicting a sword on the front.

It looks the same as the identity card obtained in actual combat.

……

When he went to the Elder's Hall, he found that not only Elder Zhu Hua was there alone, but also Peak Master Mei Feng of Wumai.

The two were sitting and drinking tea.

Li Canran saluted the two of them, "Grand Elder, Master Meifeng."

"You're here." Great Elder Zhu Hua put down his teacup and said, "Sit first."

After he sat down, a servant came over to pour tea for him immediately.

Peak Master Mei Feng smiled and said: "You kid has fought for our five veins, not bad, but from now on we have to go to one vein."

Li Canran wanted to say something modest, but was interrupted by the Great Elder.

"The first thing I called you to come over is to give you a reward for being promoted to the first branch of the branch examination, and the second is to tell you about the punishment for not cleaning the climbing ladder last time."

Elder Zhu Hua had a sullen face, with a businesslike tone, "Don't think I don't know that you and Tang Xingdan escaped from the job of cleaning the climbing ladder. I can't control you as a member of Wumai before, but since I am First-line disciples must be punished for evading missions."

? ?

"I will punish you to clean all the residences of the disciples in the Foundation Establishment Period, including the martial arts training platform."

Hold?

Li Canran wanted to scold someone.

【Hold it!Hold back!Host, don’t be impulsive QAQ]

Xiao Tong tried his best to comfort him, telling him to hold back his temper.

Zhou Rong walked in at this time, he was told that Elder Zhu Hua was looking for him as soon as he arrived, and he saw Li Canran only when he came here.

He suppressed the puzzlement in his heart and saluted first.

"I don't know that the Great Elder is looking for his disciples to come—"

Peak Master Mei Feng interrupted him, looked at Zhu Hua, and asked, "This is..."

Zhu Hua nodded, and said in a bad mood: "Yes, the one who was tricked into wearing a skirt and cleaning all the climbing ladders by himself."

Zhou Rong:?

Li Canran was also stunned.

Mei Feng stroked his beard, "Xiao Zhou, it was Xie Xiu's fault for doing this, but you are too honest, and this is not a good thing. Although my disciples of the Demon God Sect have always had no taboos in doing things, this is also..."

Elder Zhu Hua snorted coldly, and reprimanded: "The main purpose of the Demon God Sect is to kill decisively. If you don't have the slightest temper, is it still plausible?!"

"The disciple has been taught." Zhou Rong's face darkened, and he replied in a deep voice.

[Ding, the hero's hatred value +5, the current hatred value is 30]

Li Canran: ...

"I called the two of you here this time to congratulate you for being promoted to the same line. This is a reward."

Elder Zhu Hua finally mentioned the business, waved his hand, and a person standing behind took the two storage bags in his hand.

"It contains the stone of life and death."

Without the system giving him science, Zhu Hua said directly: "The material of the life and death stone is special, and there is a formation hidden in it. You can activate the stone by dripping a person's blood on it. The state of a person is closely related to the color of the life and death stone. If a person dies , the stone is broken. Different from those stones sold in the market that have no effect for a few months, these two stones of life and death are of good quality."

Li Canran opened the storage bag and looked at it, not interested.

This broken stone is of no use to him, so let's sell it sometime.

"You can leave now." Elder Zhu Hua said to Zhou Rong.

Zhou Rong subconsciously glanced sideways at Li Canran, and walked out of the elder hall.

"As the No.1 of this unified examination, there is one more thing to reward you." Elder Zhu Hua said again, "A middle-grade spiritual weapon called Jiuxiao Pen, I wonder if you have heard of it."

Jiuxiao Pen...

"Used to engrave formations?"

"Exactly."

Li Canran took this medium-grade spiritual weapon from the handyman disciple, stared at it carefully, and found that he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad at all.

Forget it, go back and ask the system.

Just as he was about to get up, Peak Master Mei Feng said, "Do you know about the establishment of a school in the same vein?"

"Disciple doesn't know."

"Did you go to private school?"

Does college count?

Li Canran thought about it, but still shook her head.

"It's not easy to get full marks in the written test without going to a private school." Master Mei sighed, "There are fewer and fewer people studying now."

Li Canran understood where his emotions came from. He had read a few history books when he was in the Chiyang Peak Library, and had a general understanding of the history of this world.

After the Qin Dynasty, demons entered the country, and after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, demons ravaged the world even more. The common people concentrated on eliminating demons, and no one cared about studying anymore.

The investigation and examination system has not been promoted, and few people want to be officials. The goal is to cultivate immortals and eliminate demons.

With the passage of time, the previous Shang Yang Reform was also abolished. Without the centralized system, the power of the royal clan was greatly weakened.

The official school lost its organization, and the subsequent imperial examinations failed to develop at all, and the Four Books and Five Classics also declined because of this, leaving only folk private schools still struggling to support them.

Peak Master Mei pondered for a moment, then said: "I have tested your knowledge about qi refining before, and now I will test you on what is cultivation, or what is cultivation?"

Li Canran said from memory: "Cultivating Taoism is based on Taoist theory, through a series of means such as refining qi, to enhance one's own cultivation, and finally achieve the goal of refining qi and turning into a god."

"What is Tao?"

"..."

The system hurriedly found the answer for him, [Dao, naturally.Nature is Tao...]

Li Canran knew that this was not what Peak Master Mei wanted to ask, so he answered according to what he thought in his heart: "Tao is Lao Tzu's theory, and the metaphysics is called Tao. The most important thing in the journey of cultivation is to refine Qi and enlighten Tao, but enlightenment is the most important thing." The most important thing is that I guess why no one has been able to refine qi and transform into a god for thousands of years, it is because they can't truly understand the Tao."

"That's right." Peak Master Mei Feng nodded, "Then do you know the difference between the way we practice and Lao Tzu's way?"

"I don't know about that." Li Canran shook his head frankly.

"Have you heard of Yixue?"

The system immediately looked for information: [The head of the group scriptures, the source of the great way...] followed by a lot of nonsense.

Master Mei Feng said loudly: "The study of Yi originated from Fuxi in ancient times. The geography, astronomy, military law, music, law, and arithmetic that we are familiar with can all be said in Yi. The Taoist Yi is the school practiced by the practitioners. Start the art of refining qi and alchemy."

"Taoist easy?"

"That's right, Yi is divided into three categories, Taoist Yi, Confucian Yi, and Divination Yi. Confucian Yi is a school of Confucian scholars who are proficient in the techniques of the Five Classics, but stick to the principles of ethics. As for Divination Yi, they don't know how to refine Qi." They don’t know how to practice, but they can study hexagrams and divination, burn tortoises to see omens, and calculate good and bad fortunes. These people are called alchemists. Of course, some of them advocate the theology of divination and latitude, so they are raised in the palace.”

Li Canran listened quietly.

"The theoretical knowledge required to open a school is compiled by the Yili school in the Three Changes. I know a great Confucianist of the Yili school. He is a mountain leader who I have grown up with in my early years. He not only annotates the Five Classics, but also is proficient in divination. , you come with the old man and me, and invite him to come and teach."

Li Canran was speechless for a while.

Having said so much, it turns out that the foreshadowing is here.

He was dissatisfied, but still asked respectfully on his face: "Excuse me, Peak Master, when is this trip?"

"The old man heard that he has gone wandering, and he will be back in about two months. Then you can come to Wumai to find me."

After Li Canran left, Fengzhu Mei took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "The man said that our Demon God Sect has not scored a perfect score in the written test for hundreds of years. Hey, I will take it to him this time."
