Chapter 227: Chapter 1 The Road
On the road.
A convoy of horses and carriages slowly progressed forward.
But Lin Yuan rode at the front with Cao Qin and Zhan Ting on horseback.
Along the snowy path, they enjoyed the northern scenery, feeling invigorated. On the road, Cao Qin and Zhan Ting briefly explained the situation of the martial academy to Lin Yuan.
The academy is divided into three main lineages: Yun Yin, Shuo Feng, and Zhe Guang. Xuri Martial Academy primarily focuses on the True Intent of the Great Sun, which aligns well with the Fire Crow Sect’s ultimate skills, thus forming a close connection with the upper echelons, mainly the Fire Crow Sect.
The academy’s existence primarily serves to select disciples for sects like the Fire Crow Sect. Since Xuri Martial Academy focuses on the True Intent of the Great Sun, most of its disciples tend to enter the Fire Crow Sect.
Nothing in the world is absolute; sects on par with the Fire Crow Sect also recruit disciples from Xuri Martial Academy. Although the number is not large, this is one of Xuri Martial Academy’s development directions, as no one would mind more resources from the top sects.
At this moment, Cao Qin cleared his throat and spoke about the situation of the Yun Yin lineage: "Junior Brother Lin, our Yun Yin lineage is the elite of the entire Xuri Martial Academy."
"How so?" Lin Yuan looked at Cao Qin with interest gleaming in his eyes.
"Haha." Cao Qin laughed loudly, somewhat arrogantly: "In recent years, our Yun Yin lineage has overshadowed the other two lineages. No one dares to act recklessly in front of our Yun Yin lineage, especially before us."
"What’s the point of showing off in front of Junior Brother Lin? It’s all an act for you." Zhan Ting teased, "Stop keeping us in suspense, look how eager Junior Brother Lin is."
Cao Qin puffed out his chest proudly: "It’s all thanks to our senior brother, the great disciple under our master’s tutelage, Lu Rong."
"Is Senior Brother Lu Rong that strong?" Lin Yuan asked with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"Hehe." Cao Qin chuckled with immense pride: "Our Senior Brother ranks ninety-eighth on the Hundred Cities Talented Youths List."
"The Hundred Cities Talented Youths List, ranked ninety-eighth! Do you know what this means?" Cao Qin raised an eyebrow, explaining seriously to Lin Yuan: "If Senior Brother successfully masters the martial path, he has a great chance of breaking through to the Ling Yuan stage in the future, entering another realm."
"Ling Yuan, do you know? It’s the realm after Dan Mai." Cao Qin exclaimed, "Senior Brother is truly divine, a role model for our generation!"
"Ling Yuan?" Hearing about such a powerful senior brother caused Lin Yuan’s breath to quicken.
Who is the master behind that blood-red eye? Lin Yuan guessed that this person was likely beyond the Ling Yuan stage. For no particular reason, it was just his intuition.
"Then we continue cultivating; at least the path beyond Ling Yuan is clear." Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and made up his mind: "Cultivate quickly, show talent. Enter the Fire Crow Sect and use its channels to find out who that woman really is."
If he couldn’t figure out what level of enemy he was up against, Lin Yuan felt uneasy at heart.
Continuing like this might lead to inner demons affecting his cultivation progress.
After saying this, night had already fallen. After the servants set up camp, everyone went to their respective places to rest.
Cao Qin and Zhan Ting tacitly didn’t mention when Lin Yuan completed cultivating the True Intent of the Great Sun. These things were naturally for the master to consider.
As the convoy continued, Zhan Ting and Cao Qin each introduced Lin Yuan to the scenic mountains and landscapes. Occasionally, Lin Yuan would lead Zhu Lingshan and Xiao Yun around for sightseeing, making the journey very smooth.
About a month later.
The harsh winter finally ended, and the convoy reached the upper city, Baiyan City.
At this moment, the majestic city walls stood two to three dozen feet high, built with unknown white stones, appearing extremely sturdy.
Zhan Ting, acting as the inspector, showed his token, and the city gate guards promptly let them through.
The convoy moved towards the city amidst the bustling crowd.
After about sixty breaths, they passed through the gate’s tunnel.
A city more flourishing than Yanghua unfolded before Lin Yuan’s eyes. Like an ancient provincial capital, high buildings stood tall with lanterns hanging everywhere. The red lanterns surrounded, and the vivid window paper emitted radiant colors.
Zhu Lingshan and Xiao Yun were stunned by the bustling sights.
"Miss, Miss." Xiao Yun lifted the curtain, excitedly gazing at the bustling street outside and exclaimed, "There are so many shops selling cosmetic powders."
"You little girl, only thinking of these mundane things." Zhu Lingshan smacked Xiao Yun in annoyance.
But Xiao Yun paid no mind, her gaze darting around, exclaiming continuously.
Lin Yuan rode at the front with Cao Qin and others, listening carefully to Cao Qin’s explanations.
"Junior Brother, Baiyan City is divided into inner and outer cities." Cao Qin spoke with familiarity: "The outer city is where the bottom-tier populace resides, while our Xuri Martial Academy is naturally in the inner city."
Lin Yuan nodded silently, indicating his understanding.
After all, within the academy, there were martial artists reaching the Ling Yuan stage. Observing the crowd earlier, he noticed many common martial artists, some only at the basic Qi-Blood stage.
An hour later, they finally reached the inner city.
The inner city layout was similar to the outer city; however, the city’s designs were more elaborate, and there were fewer commoners. The people in the streets wore fine garments, walking confidently.
The Xuri Martial Academy was easy to find, occupying nearly one-sixth of the inner city’s area.
Crossing the southwest gate, they finally entered the academy.
Ancient pines and lush cypresses brightened the scene.
Scattered palace halls came into view, cleverly designed with nature, set alongside mountains and water, seemingly in perfect harmony with the landscape.
Glazed tiles glittered in the sunlight, with bracket hangings layered beneath the eaves, appearing both dynamic and dignified.
Upon closer inspection, each building had unique characteristics; some with curling eaves like a phoenix unfurling its wings, others with carved beams and painted rafters like a dragon soaring through the sky.
Accustomed to modern skyscrapers, Lin Yuan was still awestruck by the scene before him.
Finally, after traveling for approximately half an hour more, the convoy stopped before a small courtyard.
After Zhan Ting and the servants opened the gate, Zhan Ting said, "Junior Brother, this place is arranged for your stay. It’s not much different from your place in Yanghua. Settle down here for now, and I’ll come to find you tomorrow morning to meet our master."
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Lin Yuan clasped his hands and spoke in a deep voice.
"It’s nothing." Zhan Ting responded with a smile.
Upon finishing, Zhan Ting and Cao Qin led the other disciples away.
Once they left, Zhu Lingshan and Xiao Yun naturally directed the servants to arrange all the chores properly.
After a long journey, everyone felt a bit weary.
The night passed without a word.
The following morning.
Just as daybreak arrived, Zhan Ting and Cao Qin waited outside Lin Yuan’s room.
Lin Yuan was already prepared; as this was the first time meeting the master, he could not afford any negligence in manners.
"Junior Brother is truly outstanding."
Upon Lin Yuan’s emergence, Zhan Ting nodded approvingly at his poised demeanor.
After once again encouraging Lin Yuan to relax, the two led him to where their master resided.
