Under the cold wind of late winter, Cao Jingsong looked up and sighed, then came to the Sect Affairs Pavilion of the Outer Court, exchanged his monthly salary with his waist token, put it into a money bag, and tied it tight.

Although it is a sect action, when going out, it is always necessary to carry some silver on the body.

His monthly salary is not high, but it can be considered as fulfilling a teacher's heart.

At this time, the setting sun is like blood, burning the long clouds.

Cao Jingsong left the Sect Affairs Pavilion and walked to the vicinity of the Bai Yu Terrace, and saw a circle of students whispering at the mountain gate.

"You don't go to cultivate the Dao, what are you doing blocking here?"

Cao Jingsong now feels angry when he sees students who can stay in the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan but don't know how to cherish it, and can't help but want to display the dignity of a teacher.

The few disciples nearby turned their heads when they heard the sound and immediately bowed and saluted: "We have seen the instructor."

"Exempt from the salute, what happened?"

"There is a girl at the mountain gate, which makes my Dao heart somewhat clear..."

"?"

Borrowing the gap of the students dodging, Cao Jingsong saw the scene under the mountain gate.

That is a woman of extraordinary beauty, wearing a cloud-brocade long dress, outlining a plump figure standing tall, slightly raising her chin, her eyes cold and transparent, standing under the sunset of the burning long sky, looking at the words of the mountain gate that look up to the high mountain.

The Heavenly Tian Shuyuan has a sect-protecting array running, and non-Heavenly Tian Shuyuan students must get permission to enter.

But the woman didn't seem to care, and when she walked near, her aura kept releasing, and she could compete with the array that stopped her, not retreating half a step.

Ordinary students might not be able to distinguish the deep meaning, but Cao Jingsong frowned slightly.

He discovered that the woman was full of sword qi, sharp and incomparable, and even he felt somewhat terrifying.

At this time, the wind and waves and sword qi kept surging, becoming stronger and stronger.

When the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan set up the array, to avoid accidental injury, the first layer was only to block.

Ordinary students see that they cannot enter, so they will not move forward.

But the woman didn't stop.

So the killing array of the second layer gradually began to faint with brilliance, and behind the woman in front of the array, a mysterious arc also followed, as if something was condensing.

Cao Jingsong rubbed his eyes, just about to be shocked, but discovered that the array and the mysterious arc both disappeared, as if it were just an illusion.

The woman suddenly walked into the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, at this time couldn't help but raise her head, looking at the white sleeves lightly waving on the top of Nishan, her expression somewhat puzzled.

The seven great Xian Sects have been competing secretly for many years, and none of them are convinced.

She just wanted to try how powerful the array of this Sacred Sect was, and didn't expect to be invited in, and also dissipated her Dharma image, and at the same time shielded the heavenly secrets here.

After pondering for a long time, she raised her hand and bowed slightly toward the mountain, then walked onto the Immortal-Ascending Bai Yu Terrace.

At this time, students in the corridors and arched bridges of the Outer Court stopped one after another, looking toward this side.

The woman is beautiful, not like a person in the world, and even her frowning is very good-looking, standing tall on the Bai Yu Terrace, becoming a scenery herself.

And what is more attractive is her clothing and accessories.

That cloud-brocade long dress, the material is extraordinary, seems to be an extremely precious magic weapon.

And the two spirit swords tied to her waist are by no means ordinary things, and the three spirit hairpins she wears casually are even top-grade.

"Which daughter of an ancient wealthy family is this?"

"Don't know, I have never seen her in the Outer Court..."

"Not wearing an immortal robe, perhaps an Inner Court senior sister?"

"How can you tell?"

"Such extraordinary beauty, how could my Outer Court deserve it."

"This is the real fairy; compared to her, even Miss Lu seems a bit vulgar..."

Lu Qingqiu, the eldest daughter of Yunzhou, happened to be in the Enlightenment Field, frowning when she heard the sound, but even so, she had to admit that the other party was indeed full of fairy spirit.

And what attracted Miss Lu the most was the three spirit hairpins on the other party's head.

In the year the Lu family handled the first mine, they dug to the deepest part and found a complete and huge spirit core, which contained the most vast and pure spiritual energy.

So Lu Qingqiu's father ordered people to forge it into four spirit hairpins, three of which were sold at a sky-high price, and the last one was left for her.

It was precisely because she knew the price of these spirit hairpins that she felt it was inconceivable.

Those who can afford these three spirit hairpins are either blood relatives of the Xian Sect or a thousand-year-old wealthy family like the Chu family.

Cao Jingsong saw the reaction of the surrounding students and couldn't help but spit.

It's really the degeneration of the world, our Seeing Ji You would never be like this!

Just at this moment, the woman frowned slightly, looking at the surroundings coldly.

She seemed to have long been accustomed to being in the spotlight, and there was no panic at all; instead, the students who were watching avoided her gaze, not daring to look again.

Cao Jingsong saw this and left with a flick of his sleeve, hurrying to the Elegant Garden opposite Green Water Lake.

Seeing Ji You, who returned from Wanzhuo Mountain, now has a bandage on his shoulder, sitting on a stone bench under the osmanthus tree, with a bundle of chopsticks borrowed from the Immortal Dining Hall floating in front of him.

Those chopsticks were now full of spiritual energy, dancing in the air, rushing left and right, piercing through the sky.

Because the volume is too small, these chopsticks seem to fly in a disorderly manner, but looking closely, one can find that their flight trajectory is completely sword moves.

"What are you doing?"

"Controlling the sword."

Seeing Ji You moved his spiritual sense, and the chopsticks dancing in the air flew back into the chopstick holder with a "hum."

After experiencing two battles, he realized that using one brain for multiple purposes is a huge problem that needs to be broken through.

If this is not solved, his combat time will be shortened a lot.

Team combat can have people help him hold on, but if he is alone, this will become his biggest weakness.

The solution is also very simple, nothing more than two.

One is to constantly exercise spiritual sense, so that he can support for a longer time, and distraction can also be more handy.

He has always been doing this, never slacking off.

And the other method is to make the flying stabs, flying slashes, flying picks, and other sword moves used in controlling the sword a habit.

Habit is a very terrible thing; the deeper the memory is branded, the less spiritual sense it will cost, which is equivalent to integrating sword moves into shortcut keys that can be triggered at a touch.

Now it seems that the effect is quite good, at least the chopsticks in front of him can draw a square and a circle.

Cao Jingsong didn't understand after listening to his explanation, but still called this child extraordinary, but after shouting, his mood quickly fell again.

Seeing Ji You saw some clues and couldn't help but speak: "What happened?"

"Evil spawns are causing chaos in the world, eating many Immortal Sect disciples, and also attacked the Pill Sect; the Administration Office arranged for many disciples to investigate, and finally locked onto the three ruins of Qiling Town, Yuhe Town, and Beisha Town, and now need to send people into them."

Seeing Ji You couldn't help but think of the figures who had been flying away from the Inner Court these few days, and understood in his heart: "Is there me?"

Cao Jingsong nodded: "That's right, the Administration Office feels that you are brave and unparalleled, your sword technique is exquisite and obvious to all, one in ten thousand... "

"If they really felt that way, I wouldn't have been sent."

Cao Jingsong rolled up his wide sleeves: "The words before are true, but it doesn't exclude the hope that you will make way for the children of wealthy families; after all, your performance in the academy has indeed threatened some people."

Seeing Ji You tapped the table with his knuckles, the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Have they ever heard a sentence, called my fate is up to me, not heaven..."

"Never heard of it, but this investigation has a reward, one hundred taels of silver."

"Hmm? There's money? Then my fate is up to money, not heaven."

Cao Jingsong's mouth twitched, thinking to himself that this child really loves money like his life.

He sighed and took out a money bag from his arms: "Knew you liked these, here, the travel expenses prepared for you."

Seeing Ji You took a look: "Forget it, you keep it for me first."

"Heh, this is a strange thing, got rich?"

"Money is something that only has meaning if you survive."

Cao Jingsong straightened his face after hearing this: "Don't be the first to stand out when things happen; there are also Inner Court disciples going with you; the sky is falling, the tall ones are holding it up, you don't need to take risks."

Seeing Ji You nodded: "When are we leaving?"

"The time will probably be in three days, but I don't know how long the whole journey will take; if the Inner Court selection..."

"I will be back before the Inner Court selection."

Hearing this, Cao Jingsong no longer had his usual optimism.

Chu He is only one step away from the Upper Five Realms now; after entering the Realm of Profound Understanding and supplemented by elixirs, it is said that his Realm of Profound Understanding will improve very quickly.

And Seeing Ji You is still far behind, and has no Little Little Tian Shu assistance, and even his cultivation time cannot be guaranteed.

Most importantly, there are clearly more than one Upper Five Realms expert among the planners of the evil spawn incident; if they really encounter them, even their safety is uncertain.

"This matter must be told to Kuangcheng..."

Seeing Ji You didn't notice Cao Jingsong's worry, but was considering the arrangements for these few days.

He decided to go to Shengjing tomorrow to tell the scholar about the matter.

In addition...

Also need to go to the Void Mountain to let that fairy who is easily angry know about this, otherwise she will lose her temper again.

Seeing Ji You is not very familiar with her now, nor is he unfamiliar, but having to open his mouth to explain this matter seems to have become a habit.

"Wang Jiaoxi Cao, I want to go to the Enlightenment Field."

"Still going to the Enlightenment Field like this?"

Cao Jingsong's lips trembled, as if there was a kind of teacher's moving feeling in it.

About to be transferred out of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, but even so, he doesn't forget to cultivate the Dao with devotion; Seeing Ji You is really different from those children of wealthy families.
