The Prodigal Son of the Mystical Sect

After about a cup of tea.

The group came to a weedy area. As the two strong men took out an iron roll, the weeds bent in the wind, as if they were bowing to everyone, and then they retreated, revealing a stone door.

"This is..."

Chu Lu and the others who were brought here inexplicably are still a little confused.

Seeing this, the boy chuckled and said, "I was negligent," and then told the story.

As the saying goes, the law should not be passed on to others. Of course, what the boy said could not be all... He just told Chu and Lu that the academy is now facing a big crisis, and the dean cannot get out of it in the short term. The two of them are "incompetent and learned", so if they want to cure Lu Meir's stubborn illness, they can only take another way...

Looking at the stone door, the boy said leisurely: "There are three seniors in my academy who have been living in seclusion here... If they can help, the crisis this time can be alleviated, and..."

After a pause, he glanced at Lu Meir, and then turned to Chu Tianxiao: "The three elders are all learned, and their knowledge is not less than that of the dean himself..."

He said a lot of things, and Chu Tianxiao understood it before he finished... It's nothing more than a mutually beneficial transaction.

I think the three elders of the academy have very strict rules and set some tests, so that the academy is helpless, and in desperation, they want to pin their hopes on this freak who doesn't play by the rules?

After a moment of silence, Chu Tianxiao nodded to indicate his agreement.

After all, the character of the people in the academy is still relatively strong, and if the situation is really as they said, then the two of them who belong to the Great Zhou Dynasty should also be included in their alliance list...

It seems that this matter is feasible.

"Thank you for your help, my friend. Even if this matter fails, the dean will definitely take action as soon as the trouble is resolved to diagnose the little girl."

Seeing Chu Tianxiao agreed, the two of them thanked him in unison - for the academy, the secular identity is not important, so the address is simple and clear, which saves Chu Tianxiao from embarrassment.

At the moment, the two looked at each other, walked towards the stone cave at the same time, and knocked on the door.

"Student Nan Wuliang (Gong Yangcheng), I have something important to ask to see the three elders."

"...Come in."

After a long time, a word fell, and then there was a rumble, the stone cave opened, and the two of them walked in slowly with Chu Lu and others.

But the cave was very plain, with almost nothing in it. There were only three cushions in front of them, and three white-haired old men sat on them. Each of them had skin like dead wood, but their faces were full of energy. Three pairs of eyes each emitted different brilliance, and when they fell on Chu Tianxiao, he actually breathed slowly.

"... All of them are at the peak of Lingyue, and they are stronger than Gong Yangcheng. Are they going to advance to the fifth realm..."

"Tsk, they are really standard old monsters!"

Chu Tianxiao's face was respectful as his mind turned over a hundred times.

"Students pay homage to the three elders." The two strong men bowed at the same time, and Chu Tianxiao and Lu Meir also hurriedly followed suit. Then they saw the three elders smiled softly and said in unison: "Get up."

"Thank you, three elders."

Gong Yangcheng stood up and explained the whole story, but just after he finished saying Chu Lu's name, he was interrupted by an old man among them.

But he heard him say: "Cheng boy, what you want to say, the three of us already know."

"You should also understand the rules. The bone ages of these two people are consistent, so there is no need to say more... You, leave."

Hearing this, Gong Yangcheng and the boy were both stunned, then looked at each other, nodded, bowed again, and then left the cave directly.

After that, the elder who spoke first glanced at Lu Meir, raised his eyebrows and said: "This little girl... seems to have a cold poison in her body, um..."

After a pause, he looked at Chu Tianxiao: "Seeking medical treatment for your wife?"

After these four words fell, Chu Tianxiao had not refuted yet, Lu Meir nodded heavily and said happily: "Yeah! Grandpa, you are really perceptive!"

"Hehe..."

Hearing this, the three elders laughed together.

Chu Tianxiao saw something else from this smile...

"...they are cultivating the pure mind, not the quiet water heart, which means...they are a group of old people who are serious on the surface but secretly flirtatious?"

Just when Chu Tianxiao was complaining, the three elders looked at Chu Tianxiao at the same time and said: "We once made a great oath to the devil in our hearts, and we want to see if there are really heroes in youth..."

In just a short sentence, Chu Tianxiao understood it without finishing it.

"Please ask the three elders."

"Haha, you are really smart...Don't worry, let your little wife go out and wait, I'll come right away."

Hearing the voice, Chu Tianxiao glanced at Lu Mei'er, who wanted to say something with some worry, but finally nodded: "Brother Tianxiao, then Mei'er...well, I'll wait for you in your room."

For the guests of the academy, Yu Li naturally prepared the wing room first, but this remark appeared in this situation, which made the three elders laugh again.

Chu Tianxiao was helpless about this, but Lu Meir was very generous. She looked at Chu Tianxiao reluctantly and left first.

After that, an old man in the middle stood up and said to the old man on his left, "Old Third, you ask a question first this time, and the two of us will retreat first. If this... um, Chu Xiaoyou... can really pass this level, let him come to the second floor to find us, and the two of us will work together to ask a question."

The old man on the left nodded and said, "Okay."

While the three of them were talking, they nodded, and then two people left suddenly, like silhouettes of people passing by the wind, leaving no trace of flying birds. Chu Tianxiao couldn't see how they disappeared at all, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

But what concerned him more was the old man in front of him.

According to what the boy said before, this should be "Old Zhao" who has the most important collection of martial arts secrets.

At that moment, the old man nodded slightly and said: "Little friend Chu, although I admire your determination to seek medical treatment for your wife, making an oath about your inner demons is not a piece of cake. It is a matter of great importance. I will never engage in malpractice for personal gain or show mercy. This... …You might understand?”

"Of course." Chu Tianxiao nodded, clasped his fists and said, "I respectfully invite Mr. Zhao to propose a question."

"Haha... Okay." Mr. Zhao laughed loudly, stretched out his hand like a dead tree, and touched the Sumeru Ring. In an instant, a golden light flashed, and a thick white book lay quietly on Chutian. There is a small stone table between Xiao and Mr. Zhao.

"This is..." Chu Tianxiao's eyes lit up, and before he finished asking, Mr. Zhao slowly said: "This is a secret book, which records some kind of escape method that is rare in the world. It’s useless, but it will help you to study any kind of escape method you are currently practicing!”

As soon as these words came out, Chu Tianxiao was shocked for a moment. He didn't know whether he should say that there are so many wonders in the world, or that the academy's savings are really rich...

Although he wanted to read it immediately, he was very determined and finally resisted the temptation and slowly put it down.

"Mr. Zhao...what exactly does this mean?"

Seeing this, Mr. Zhao immediately cast an approving look at Chu Tianxiao, and then said slowly: "Little friend Chu, this is the first level."

"The first test is your understanding."

"The way to practice requires more effort as you get later, but the key is understanding! Without understanding, no matter how hard you work, it will be in vain. There are countless examples of getting twice the result with twice the effort."

"So, this time, I want to see if you have the understanding to get a glimpse of the great truth!"

"If not, please leave as soon as possible."

"I can't wait to be convenient for mediocrity!"
