142: Whom to Choose?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Please Subscribe)_4 After speaking, Starlight flashed and Liu Qingzhu disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t even seen clearly how Liu Qingzhu had left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That movement technique was really…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came a bitter smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Vice Academician Liu was really something, in the end, even resorting to threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next hour, Xu Jin received another group of visitors and three letters, all with the same purpose, which worried him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being too outstanding is also a trouble, a real dilemma!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 9 p.m., Ning Yuchan, who had gone to the National Taoist Institute’s Star Fire Hall to study Star Pattern, returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Ning Yuchan had come to the National Taoist Institute for secluded cultivation, and the Institute had arranged free accommodation and meals, but since Xu Jin had a large courtyard and Jiang’er also needed to nurture at the Central Star Palace, they had Ning Yuchan stay with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was big and spacious enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Ning Yuchan’s arrival, Xu Jin had someone to seek advice from, and he told her all about the issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, Ning Yuchan was also a bit overwhelmed, “Xu Jin, back in my day, I was also a True Disciple, but only two Vice Academicians sent me invitations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very easy to choose, and the teacher I chose was very good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Yuchan suddenly interrupted Xu Jin, “Xu Jin, after entering the National Taoist Institute, the term ‘teacher’ has a completely different meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It represents a relationship that goes beyond that of disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should stop calling me teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now on, just call me Sister Yu Chan or Senior Sister Yuchan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But, you taught me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I did teach you, but once you’re at the National Taoist Institute, calling me teacher might upset the Academicians who accepted you as a disciple!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the National Taoist Institute, ‘teacher’ holds special significance, and an Academician may mentor only about ten students in their lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can’t use it lightly,” Ning Yuchan urgently explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ning Yuchan insist so firmly, Xu Jin relented, “Then Sister Yu Chan, your teacher was a Vice Academician back then, what about now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if I acknowledge him as my teacher?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Ning Yuchan looked saddened, “My teacher left the National Taoist Institute in a huff because of an issue with me and went to the Galaxy Battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s been a long time since I had contact with him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here’s what you do, you should ask the Mountain Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mountain Master Dong Zhao is quite knowledgeable about matters within the National Taoist Institute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will go to nurture Jiang’er at the Central Star Palace,” said Ning Yuchan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a good idea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later, Xu Jin left the residence of Mountain Master Dong Zhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mountain Master Dong Zhao, the Vice Supervisor of the National Taoist Institute, had a residence much larger than Xu Jin’s, comprising a two-section compound, and it too was free of charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to choosing a teacher, Mountain Master Dong Zhao gave advice, but it was essentially inconclusive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mountain Master said, among the Four Great Academicians and twelve Vice Academicians, anyone who actively extended an olive branch to Xu Jin could be taken as a mentor, and there would be no loss with any choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, out of the sixteen Academicians, thirteen had reached out to Xu Jin with an olive branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Academicians and seven Vice Academicians had sent letters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three Vice Academicians had sent disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Vice Academician Liu Qingzhu had personally visited to extend the olive branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conditions naturally fell into three categories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who sent letters offered similar terms, those who sent disciples offered better terms, and currently, the conditions given by Vice Academician Liu in person were the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the Mountain Master, whether disciples of an Academician or a Vice Academician, the treatment isn’t poor, the difference lies in the relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin understood this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s all about connections!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples of the Four Great Academicians were each in high positions, either as Mountain Masters of County Taoist Institutes or Generals of the Galaxy Battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The future network was not the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples of Vice Academicians were slightly inferior, but they were allotted more resources for cultivation and received more dedicated attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each had its pros and cons, it was up to Xu Jin to choose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Mountain Master Dong Zhao left Xu Jin with four words: “Favor and Heart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, whom to choose as a teacher?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s a big question!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being too outstanding is indeed difficult!\u003C\u002Fp>",777,"2026-06-03T07:35:47.821Z",1,"novelbin.me","aa97b8f14276e78714885ac0fb44ba1a4b60da33cf825fff3765cee048641fe8","star-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-chapter-287","star-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-chapter-285",1647,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstar-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-cover.jpg"]
