Under the gaze of countless eyes, Ye Feng followed the four instructors on the road to the inner courtyard. This road must be full of dangers. They have to cross several rivers and climb several mountains. The journey lasts about a month. When we arrived at the inner courtyard, it was still the end of the year.
The family affairs are on the right track. Ye Feng is free from worries and devotes himself to pursuing martial arts. Along the way, he always has a faint smile on his face.
Time passed day by day, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Although the journey was dusty, they also encountered many dangers. With the existence of the four great mentors, ordinary dangers could not threaten them.
In a remote town, a group of more than 20 people entered here, intending to spend the night here and continue their journey the next day. Along the way, the four instructors told these people a lot about the inner courtyard, and even the division of levels, which made these disciples even more yearning for it. Life in the inner courtyard.
"Dong dong dong!" Ye Feng was about to meditate and rest when he heard someone knocking on his door.
"Come in!" Ye Feng put on his clothes. He had just finished taking a shower, and a lot of fatigue disappeared from his body.
"Creak!" The door was pushed open and Instructor Li walked in.
"I've met the mentor!" Ye Feng saluted the mentor Li.
"Don't be so polite. I'm coming over tonight to discuss something with you and to ask for your opinion." Instructor Li was a little solemn. Ye Feng quickly moved out the chairs and the two of them sat at the table.
"Teacher, please tell me something. As long as the kid can do it, he will definitely do it." The person Ye Feng trusts the most is Instructor Li. Instructor Li has taken good care of him over the years, and the relationship between the two is extraordinary.
"This matter is a long story. You already know the situation of Tianling Inner Courtyard. It is divided into four courtyards, four halls, four views and one middle sky. But do you know what the four courtyards, four halls, four views and one middle sky are all about? ?" Instructor Li explained to them on the way that Tianling Inner Courtyard is divided into many halls, but did not go into details.
Ye Feng shook his head, he really didn't know.
"In this case, let me tell you today. The inner court is definitely not as simple as you think. Together with the disciples of the inner court, there are a total of 100,000 people, or even more, and there are a large number of them every year. The number of new disciples who joined could not be counted clearly, and the sect could not manage them all, so it was divided into several areas, which is the origin of the four halls, four courtyards, four temples and one Zhongtian. "
Ye Feng nodded and expressed his understanding that if there were more than 100,000 people, it would be impossible to manage them all fairly or even comprehensively. If they were divided into different areas and managed in different areas, it would be much easier.
"Whether it is the Four Halls or the Four Houses, the purpose of Four Views and One Middle Heaven is to cultivate more talented disciples for the college, and to make the college more prestigious in the Southern China. This will create a sense of comparison, and everyone will Wanting to be number one in the academy has caused competition among the various schools, and there will be a competition every year to see who can get the number one spot," continued Instructor Li.
Ye Feng agrees with this point. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Where there are rivers and lakes, there will be battles. This is normal. No sect is immune. There will definitely be a desire to compare. But Ye Feng doesn't know what Teacher Li wants to express. , his eyes were filled with doubts.
"Are you confused as to why I want to tell you this?" Seeing Ye Feng's doubtful expression, Teacher Li asked.
"Well, the boy has a lot of doubts in his heart!" Ye Feng directly admitted that regarding the inner courtyard, Ye Feng only listened to what Teacher Li said, and many things were not very clear and very vague.
"I was just like you when I joined the inner courtyard with great excitement. What happened in the end? I was assigned to this place where no one can shit and stayed there for a full ten years." Instructor Li's face was filled with helplessness. .
Ye Feng could see that Teacher Li was unwilling to stay in Kaiyuan Country and hoped to go further. Even if he could live to be two hundred years old in the Xiantian realm, for a cultivator, two hundred years would only be the blink of an eye. .
"Then why don't you choose to leave here and return to the inner courtyard?" Ye Feng asked.
"It's easier said than done. We are also based on a points system. The higher the points, the higher the chance of returning to the inner court in the future. It is estimated that even if we wait for more than ten years, we will not be able to survive that day." Instructor Li sighed.
"Is there such a thing?" Ye Feng was puzzled.
"This is normal, because our qualifications in the inner court are not very good, and it is difficult to have room for improvement. We can only be assigned to other places. We collect a large number of talented disciples and transport them to the inner court to gain points. After reaching a certain number of points, we will have opportunities Back to the Inner Court. The geography of our country is not very good, and there are very few talented disciples appearing every year. Only three people successfully joined the Inner Court last year." Instructor Li sighed again.
"Teacher, what do you need me to do for you?" Ye Feng heard it. Teacher Li seemed to have something to ask of him, so he asked directly.
"Yes, I do have something to do with you. This is also the intention of the courtyard master. Whether we can return to the inner courtyard depends on you." Instructor Li's eyes glowed, and when he saw Ye Feng's sudden rise, he seemed to see hope.
"Me?" Ye Feng was confused, wondering whether they could return to the inner courtyard and what it had to do with him.
"Yes, it's you!" Instructor Li said with certainty.
"Young man, you don't understand!" Ye Feng spread his hands and looked completely confused.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly. It makes sense for me to say this. Your rapid rise within three months is definitely not an accident. Even after I came to Kaiyuan Country for ten years, none of my disciples can do it. The acquired state defeats the innate state." Speaking of Ye Feng's recent growth experience, Teacher Li's face glowed.
Ye Feng has a black streak on his head. It seems that the speed of his strength improvement has indeed shocked many people.
"What do you need me to do?" Now that Teacher Li mentioned it, Ye Feng couldn't refuse. If he could help within his ability, Ye Feng would never refuse.
"Don't worry, I'm telling you about the situation of the four courtyards, four halls, four views and one middle sky, and I'm making a decision!" Teacher Li was not in a hurry to speak, but continued to introduce the situation of the inner courtyard, and Ye Feng had to continue listening.
"The four courtyards are Tianxing Courtyard, Wenxing Courtyard, Wukui Courtyard, and Xuan Courtyard. Tianxing Courtyard is the most powerful, followed by Wenxing Courtyard, and so on!" The names of the four courtyards can reflect this, with Tianzi ranked first. .
"The strength of the Four Halls is not weaker than that of the Four Courts, namely the Luohan Hall, the Weiwu Hall, the Shura Hall, and the Black and White Hall. The strongest one is not the Luohan Hall, but the Shura Hall. Here, a group of murderous lunatics have been gathered. As long as they are addicted to Anyone who is killed is willing to join Shura Hall." Speaking of Shura Hall, Teacher Li seemed a little afraid.
"As for the four concepts, it is not difficult to understand. They are elixir concept, weapon concept, body concept and formation concept, because the four meditation masters are respectively proficient in the four methods of elixir, weapon, body and formation. They are alchemy, weapon refining respectively. Many disciples have joined the Four Views in body refining and formation methods, and the purpose is self-evident. "
"Finally, there is Yizhongtian. This is the genius that encompasses the entire academy. It is a gathering place for geniuses. Every year, the top geniuses are selected by Yizhongtian to join Zhongtian Peak. Only the evil disciples are willing to accept them. The number is very large. It is obviously not as good as the four halls, four courtyards and four views. In terms of strength, it is definitely ranked first in the academy." Instructor Li explained the division of the entire inner courtyard.
Ye Feng was already shocked. He didn't expect that the inner courtyard was so clearly divided. It seemed that after thousands of years of hard work, the academy was already on the right track.
"It is divided into thirteen halls in total. If divided by overall strength, Yizhongtian ranks first, followed by Tianxing Academy and Shura Hall. As for the subsequent rankings, they will change every year. The lower ones are Weiwu Hall, Luohan Hall, body view.”
Teacher Li explained for a full hour before he could clearly explain the divisions of the entire inner court, which also saved Ye Feng from having to understand it after joining the inner court in the future.
"Where did the mentor come from?" Ye Feng asked.
"Xuan Courtyard!" Instructor Li said helplessly.
"According to what you just mentioned, Xuan Courtyard's strength should be ranked in the middle, not too bad."
"But these years, Xuan Courtyard seems to be getting worse year by year, and no good disciples are willing to join. Since the master of Xuan Courtyard was injured ten years ago, he has rarely taken care of it, which has made these disciples lazy in cultivation. In addition, there are no good disciples to join. In recent years, the ranking has been very low." Speaking of Xuan Courtyard, Teacher Li's face was full of heartache. After all, he also came from Xuan Courtyard.
"What do you mean, if I pass the assessment, let me join the Xuan Courtyard?" Ye Feng heard what Teacher Li meant.
Teacher Li raised his head and looked at Ye Feng. He was too embarrassed to speak. After all, with Ye Feng's talent, there would definitely be a better Etangkou who would extend an olive branch, and the treatment given must be better than that of Xuan Courtyard. Teacher Li was not sure whether Ye Feng could promise.
"If you have any difficulties, we understand and will not force you to do anything. As long as you can get a good ranking in the academy, you will also get extra points for us." Instructor Li continued.
"I promise you, if I pass the assessment, I am willing to join Xuan Courtyard!" Ye Feng agreed directly without any hesitation.
"Are you really willing to join Xuan Courtyard?" Instructor Li seemed a little unconvinced.
"Yes, I am grateful to my mentor for his diligent teachings over the years. Don't talk about this matter, I can agree to anything else." There is a reason why Ye Feng agreed.
First, Ye Feng returned a favor to Teacher Li and helped him when he was lonely.
Secondly, for Ye Feng, it is the same no matter where he practices. He has the Nine Transformations of Gods and Demons and the Seven Heaven-Slaying Techniques. If he joins any hall, he will not be able to obtain more than these two treasures. Moreover, there are few people in the Xuan Courtyard, so He is not afraid of being remembered. The fewer people who know his secrets, the better.
There is another reason why Ye Feng chooses Xuan Courtyard. Since Xuan Courtyard is lonely now, there must be very few disciples, so there will be more space. Ye Feng's joy in quietness is just right for him. It can almost be said that he kills three birds with one stone. , why did Ye Feng not agree
"Okay, okay, the director and I were right about you. You are a person who knows how to repay kindness." Instructor Li laughed heartily. Hearing that Ye Feng could agree, the knot in his heart was finally relieved.
"But how will my joining Xuan Court help your points?" Ye Feng still has an incomplete understanding.
"As long as you can be promoted to a core disciple, we will have the opportunity to return to the inner court. If you can become a true disciple, even our status will rise, because we are your first mentors." Teacher Li looked excited, no longer He looked decadent just now. (To be continued)
