Suddenly, Long Xiangtian remembered that Binghai had just mentioned the word "mission", and then asked Binghai in confusion: "Binghai, what does the mission mean?"
"If students in the inner courtyard want to study in the inner courtyard, they must take on certain responsibilities, which is to obey the orders of the elders and carry out a mission every month."
"Some of these missions involve killing some seriously sinful criminals, some involve arresting some murderers, and some involve going to some dangerous places to collect items."
"These tasks are difficult and appropriate, and they are all assigned by the elders according to each person's ability. But even so, casualties are inevitable. This can be regarded as a test for us students from the academy."
Long Xiangtian nodded. He had not known that the inner courtyard had such an educational method before. Although this method was somewhat unique, it had to be said that it was quite effective.
The flowers in the greenhouse cannot escape the fate of being destroyed. The real strong ones grow up between life and death.
Long Xiangtian actually likes this kind of education method in the academy. Although it is a bit cruel, only in this way can Long Xiangtian grow faster. At the same time, Long Xiangtian can have more time to do his own things.
"Let's go see the Great Elder first."
"Um."
Long Xiangtian nodded and followed behind Binghai. The status of the Great Elder in the Inner Court was higher than that of Du Chun in the Outer Court, so as a freshman in the Inner Court, Long Xiangtian naturally needed to meet the Great Elder.
Bing Hai brought Long Xiangtian to a plain little house. This house was no different from the one next to it, and it did not emit any special atmosphere. It seemed to be no different from the residence of an ordinary student.
Bing Hai sent Long Xiangtian here and then left. According to her, the Great Elder didn't like to be disturbed by too many people. Since the Great Elder only allowed him to come, she couldn't go in.
Long Xiangtian pushed open the fence of the courtyard and looked around, but did not see the figure of the Great Elder. He thought that the Great Elder should be in the inner room.
Long Xiangtian was still a little nervous. Looking at Bing Hai and the people in the academy, they all seemed to be afraid of the Great Elder.
Long Xiangtian had met the Great Elder when he was taking the assessment in the inner courtyard. At that time, he felt that the Great Elder was a strict old-fashioned person.
In comparison, Long Xiangtian still prefers to get along with an old fox like Du Chun, especially since the great elder's cultivation level is even at the Guixuan realm. His little calculations will probably be nowhere to hide in the eyes of Guixuan level.
Long Xiangtian walked to the door and knocked gently on it. Even if he didn't want to face it, he couldn't avoid it. Being timid might make the Great Elder unhappy.
"Come in."
A deep voice sounded beside Long Xiangtian's ears. Long Xiangtian pushed the door open and found that the Great Elder was resting with his eyes closed, without a single bit of his profound energy leaking out.
If Long Xiangtian had not known that the old man with white hair and youthful face in front of him was the Great Elder, he would probably have suspected that he was just an elderly man with some ethereal aura.
"Junior Long Xiangtian, greetings to the Great Elder." When Long Xiangtian saw the Great Elder, he was not so nervous at all. He bowed to the Great Elder, neither humble nor arrogant, and was very decent.
"You were taught by Master Du Ruo in the Outer Court. Now that you are in the Inner Court, you naturally need to change your master. There are not many masters in the Inner Court, only seven of us elders. Tell me who you want to be your master."
The Great Elder did not make any comments on Long Xiangtian's appropriate behavior, and even did not open his closed eyes. Instead, he talked to Long Xiangtian about choosing a mentor.
"Great Elder, are you also a mentor?"
Long Xiangtian was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the Great Elder was also a mentor. He thought that the Great Elder should be the dean of this inner courtyard.
"I'm not the dean. There's someone else who's the dean, but he hasn't been in the inner courtyard for the past two years. Oh, I almost forgot, you have a close relationship with Desire, you should know that too."
"The dean has gone to help Yu prepare the materials for reshaping the sword. It's been so long, the old guy should be back soon."
It was only then that Long Xiangtian realized that the inner courtyard was not without a dean, but that the dean was someone else.
Now Long Xiangtian also remembered what "Yu" had told him, that is, an old man had asked her to help guard the inner courtyard in exchange for helping her reshape the sword. Now it seems that the old man is the dean of the inner courtyard.
After figuring out these things, Long Xiangtian fell silent. He was thinking about what the Great Elder told him about choosing a mentor.
This kind of thing concerns one's future. After all, the tutor is half a master, and it will not work if you don't choose carefully.
"Great Elder, can I choose you?"
Long Xiangtian hesitated for a moment and decided to choose the great elder in front of him. First of all, although the great elder was strict, his strength was there after all. If anyone could provide a greater help to his practice, it would be the great elder.
"You are quite cunning boy, but every student in this academy wants me to teach him. Why do you think you are worthy of my attention?" The great elder obviously knew what Long Xiangtian was thinking.
Long Xiangtian naturally knew that he was definitely not the only one who wanted to become Master Bai's student, and Master Bai could not accept everyone. If he wanted to qualify, he had to have his own support.
"Show the strength that you used to defeat Lu Qing."
Long Xiangtian was stunned for a moment, then he realized that his defeat of Lu Qing had caused such a big stir, it would be strange if the Great Elder didn't know about it.
Long Xiangtian nodded. It seemed that if he didn't show his true strength, he would not be able to catch the attention of the Great Elder.
Long Xiangtian suddenly burst out with momentum. He knew that he could not hurt the Great Elder by himself, so there was no reason for him to restrain himself.
However, now Long Xiangtian's aura is only at the third level of the Xuan realm. Then Long Xiangtian's Xuan power rapidly changed, and his cultivation also increased rapidly.
Finally, Long Xiangtian's cultivation stopped at the sixth level of the Profound Realm. Not only that, murderous intent also permeated in Long Xiangtian's eyes, like a bloodthirsty demon.
"Yeah, not bad." The elder smiled and nodded, obviously very satisfied with Long Xiangtian's talent, but then changed the subject: "But if you only rely on these, you can't defeat Lu Qing."
“Great Elder, please try to hit me with your strength of the eighth level into the Profound Realm.” Seeing that the Great Elder was still not satisfied, Long Xiangtian planned to reveal his dragon scales.
"Are you sure?"
"I dare to say this, so I have the confidence." Long Xiangtian exuded strong confidence.
"Good boy, don't blame me if you get hurt."
The Great Elder suppressed his cultivation and punched Long Xiangtian in the chest.
