Chapter 72: Genius Ranking

Cao Ziwei smiled and shook his head.

"Then, not for now." Lin Jing said helplessly.

Facing the cultivation cave dwelling that still required spirit stones, he was a bit reluctant. Let's understand the academy thoroughly before making a decision.

He had survived three months in the Great Wilderness, so he didn't care much about the cultivation cave dwelling.

Who would have thought that on the first day of entering this Hidden Dragon Academy, he would become a homeless person.

"Hmm, many students live outside the academy and only come to the academy when there are famous teachers giving lectures. This doesn't matter. Within Hidden Longcheng, it is very safe."

Cao Ziwei said: "Since this is the case, why don't you go to Hidden Longcheng to find a place to live first? This pavilion is on the outskirts of the academy; if you cultivate purple or golden Hidden Dragon luck later, perhaps there will be teachers in the academy who will fancy your talent, accept you as a disciple, and solve the cultivation place for you."

"Come? I will imprint the Hidden Dragon Seal for you." He picked up the seal.

Hearing this, Lin Jing stretched out the back of his right hand and said: "Senior Cao, you can imprint the Hidden Dragon Seal here."

The other hand... was the imprint of the Divine Wood Seal sealing the Ice Soul Gu.

He couldn't let this Hidden Dragon luck and the Ice Soul Gu fight.

Pop———

Cao Ziwei gently pressed the dragon seal on Lin Jing's hand back. After the white young dragon pattern was imprinted, it quickly disappeared.

"Then, the guidance is complete, and I look forward to the time when your name rings out in the Hidden Dragon Academy."

He completed the guidance and actually disappeared from the spot. Neither the token representing the academy student nor the object introducing the academy was given!

"Is this Hidden Dragon Academy reliable?" Lin Jing looked at the back of his hand.

However, this young dragon mark should be enough to represent his identity.

As for the situation of the academy, let's explore it himself.

"A place that cultivates immortal officials is of course unreliable." After Cao Ziwei disappeared, a pinecone flew out of Lin Jing's pocket and said: "But the cultivator just now was quite powerful, Nascent Soul perfection cultivation, and his combat strength is not bad."

"Senior, compared to you, who is more powerful?"

"What do you think? A Nascent Soul is nothing! However, there are countless great beings in the Hidden Dragon Academy, and I cannot be counted as anything."

Senior Shen Song hehe said: "Now do you know why I let you have a certain strength before coming to the Hidden Dragon Academy? The core of the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique is strength. You find a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the academy who is relatively easy to bully and beat him up. Your Hidden Dragon Secret Technique will be almost entered!"

"Qi Refining fighting Foundation Establishment, this is something that geniuses of top sects can do. It will definitely make you famous!"

"Do you know my painstaking efforts now?"

Lin Jing was silent. The Pine Needle Rat and the Long Li recalled the painful season of fighting the wooden man and nodded repeatedly.

He hoped that the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the academy... would be easier to beat than the wooden man!

"Just now Senior Cao said that the Hidden Dragon Academy does not teach fighting. What do they teach specifically?" Lin Jing asked: "The way of being an official?"

"Before the students of the academy leave, they will all go to remote cities to serve as city lords for training to verify their learning results. So what the Hidden Dragon Academy teaches is naturally how to govern a city!"

"There may be agricultural cultivators who come to teach the students here how to farm and cultivate land to improve the agricultural level of a city."

"There may be old monsters proficient in Feng Shui who come to teach students how to plan the architectural layout of a city!"

"There will even be physiognomists who come to teach you how to read faces, judge people's character and destiny, know people and use them well. These are all things that an immortal official needs to master in the process of governing a city!"

"In short, the academy teaches all kinds of messy things, but it doesn't teach fighting!"

"However, without a certain strength, it is very difficult to learn these things, as the teacher just said. Of course, gaining reputation is not just one way of strength. If you refine an immortal pill, an immortal weapon, or subdue an immortal beast, you can also become famous."

"Isn't this even more outrageous?" Lin Jing said: "Killing a Questioning stage great being is easier than these."

"Yes." Senior Shen Song said: "So, it is still reliable to speak with strength!"

"Do you know the Genius Ranking of the Heavenly Secret Tower? This should be considered a shortcut for cultivating the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique. You can pay attention to it!"

Genius Ranking, produced by the Heavenly Secret Tower.

Divided into Heaven, Earth, and Human rankings.

Those who can make the list are all geniuses among geniuses in the cultivation world.

The spread of this Genius Ranking is not just one domain, but the entire Heavenly Origin Ancient Kingdom, and even some cultivators outside the ancient kingdom will pay attention to the Ancient Kingdom Genius Ranking.

If students of the academy want to quickly gain huge reputation and cultivate the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique, making this list is enough, and there is no need to make other efforts.

"You, try to find a way to make the personal ranking first."

Senior Shen Song said: "The realm of the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique is still very important. For all the courses in the academy, if you can listen, listen to them all!"

"Don't ignore these courses just because they don't teach you how to improve your strength."

"I have a certain understanding of the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique. Only when you obtain an official position can you exert its true power. The stronger your official luck, the stronger the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique. And when you want to obtain official luck, you cannot leave the governance of a city. What this academy teaches is very important! Having strength alone is not enough to manage a city well!"

"I understand. I might not know other things, but when it comes to listening to lectures and learning, I have rich experience." Lin Jing nodded and said: "But this Genius Ranking, with our current strength, is it a bit difficult?"

He turned his head to look at the Pine Needle Rat and the Long Li, one at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, one at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining...

Genius Ranking, he had also seen it a few months ago. In the Human Ranking, the 100th place, which is the last place, was a Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator! And one who could kill Foundation Establishment perfection demon monsters across levels!

"I didn't ask you to enter now! Wait until you reach Foundation Establishment, then consider the Genius Ranking. Anyway, you are not old!" Senior Shen Song said casually.

The condition for making the Human Ranking of the Genius Ranking is that the bone age is under thirty and the cultivation is under Golden Core.

The condition for making the Earth Ranking is that the bone age is under sixty and the cultivation is higher than Golden Core and lower than Nascent Soul!

Heaven Ranking is that the bone age is under one hundred and the cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul stage!

Compared to the hundreds or thousands of years of lifespan of Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators, those who can make the list under this restriction are indeed worthy of being called geniuses.

"You just find a Foundation Establishment cultivator who is ordinary and start with him to enter the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique first!"

"In the academy, I won't be by your side. You work hard yourselves. If there is danger, I will descend!"

After Senior Shen Song finished speaking with Lin Jing and the others, it seemed to be considering something, left a life-saving pinecone, and its true body fled the academy, leaving only Lin Jing sighing outside the pavilion holding the Zen staff.

"Let's go." He thought for a moment, then took the Pine Needle Rat and the Long Li to wander around.

Hidden Longcheng, as Lin Jing and the others wandered, they walked out of the academy unknowingly. Smelling the fragrance of food and following the flow of people, they came to a restaurant with excellent business, "Immortal Guest Comes"!

"Hey, guest, why did you bring your own ingredients? We don't have processing services here." Lin Jing had stayed in the Great Wilderness for three months and originally wanted to improve his food first. Who knew that the shop assistant welcoming people outside the restaurant would look at the Long Li stuck in the Zen staff with wide eyes and talk nonsense.

"Pop!!!" The Long Li was furious. Where did it look like an ingredient?

"Squeak squeak..." The Pine Needle Rat laughed secretly. It actually also felt that the current Long Li looked very much like an ingredient. Not only was the meat delicious, but it was fragrant when soaked in water, and later it was marinated with chili peppers, which was simply spicy and delicious.

"Don't you have eyes? This is my spirit beast."

"Ah? Sorry, guest, please come in..."

Lin Jing did not make things difficult for the shop assistant. After all, carrying a Long Li that didn't enter the water was indeed strange.

He entered the restaurant, found an empty table at random, and looked at the dishes. Just at this moment, a voice from the next table attracted his attention.

"Have you heard? Fang Shilin, a student of the Hidden Dragon Academy, is setting up a ring in the south of the city, wanting to challenge 100 consecutive victories of the same level. Can he succeed? He seems to be in the early Foundation Establishment stage! How much true yuan can an early Foundation Establishment have? And where did so many early Foundation Establishment cultivators come from to fight him?"

"I remember he is from the Changchun Valley, the young valley master of the Changchun Valley. The cultivation method practiced by the Changchun Valley has extremely fast true qi recovery speed. After a battle, the consumption is negligible. Perhaps he intends to use the characteristics of the cultivation method to accept wheel battles to accumulate reputation. Even if he cannot achieve 100 consecutive victories, this gimmick is enough. These Hidden Dragon Academy cultivators make a move every few days. This is not fresh!"

On the side, Lin Jing and the Pine Needle Rat heard this and looked at each other. Changchun Valley, Lin Jing was very familiar with it, a sect specializing in wood methods, and like the Beast Taming Sect, it was located in the Wilderness Domain! Wood method... the soft persimmon Senior Mo Song said, it is really easy to find. He really has a certain amount of luck. ===== CHAPTER 73 =====
