On the ancient road in the early morning, a figure walked over from afar. In the faint morning breeze, that person quickly appeared in front of him. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a handsome young man in his twenties. This youth was dressed in white, and when he wore it on his slender and slightly thin body, he looked a little frail, but he did not lose his handsomeness. A faint smile appeared on her jade-like face. Her clear eyes flickered with a hint of spirit, carrying an indescribable charm. Looking at the small wine shop at the fork in the road, the young man smiled and walked over unhurriedly. He casually found a table and sat down. The young man looked around. There were two other woodsmen eating breakfast here. There were also two other people. One of them was a young man in a tattered Daoist robe. He was about eighteen or nineteen years old and had a strange appearance. He had a smile on his face. The other was about twenty-one or twenty-two years old. He was dressed in a blue Confucian scholar's robe and was extremely handsome. Her eyes were as clear as water, as bright as a mirror, and filled with vigor. She was very attractive. The first impression this youth gave others was that he was a weak scholar. Ling Chen sat down and asked the shopkeeper,"Uncle, may I ask how far is it from here to the Yi Garden? How long will it take?”As soon as Ling Chen spoke, the youth in the tattered Daoist robe hurriedly turned to look at the youth beside him, a trace of surprise appearing on his face. The youth beside him also looked a bit surprised. The youth jumped over to Ling Chen and sat down, grinning as he said,"Hey, you're also going to Yi Garden. My companion and I are also going there, so we can go the same way. Hehe." After saying that, he chuckled. The blue-robed youth beside him also walked over.
Ling Chen looked at the youth, then at the youth dressed like a scholar. Ling Chen smiled," That's right, I'm heading to Yi Garden. I didn't expect you guys to be heading there as well. It just so happens that I don't know the way there yet. Now, I don't have to worry."”After saying that, he smiled calmly, appearing gentle and refined. At this moment, the shop owner at the side said,"Young master, looking at your appearance and attire, you must have gone to Yi Garden to learn, right? That was a good place. Every year, many students would go there to study, and in the end, all of them would become useful talents. This place is still a hundred miles away from the Yi Garden. The two young masters beside you are also people who are going to the Yi Garden to learn skills. According to your itinerary, you should be able to arrive tomorrow afternoon. Young Master, you have to work hard. I hope you can learn more skills so that you can do more for the people in the future.”After saying that, he served her a cup of tea. When the young Taoist priest at the side heard this, he hurriedly said,"It's a hundred miles. That's fast. It won't be tomorrow afternoon. "Hey, what's your name? I'm Lin Yunfeng, and the one next to me is Lu Yun, who's also going to Yi Garden to learn." After saying that, she looked at Ling Chen, waiting for his answer. Ling Chen looked at the two of them and smiled,"My name is Ling Chen. Nice to meet you. I hope we can go to the Yi Garden together.”Lu Yun smiled and said," I'm also very happy to meet you. I didn't expect to meet two companions on this trip to the Yi Garden. Let's go together later."”
Lin Yunfeng smiled." I'll take you there later. It'll take at most an incense stick's time to get there. It'll save you some extra time." What did you guys go there to learn? I went there to learn their demon-slaying techniques. Hehe, I heard that the Dao techniques there are very powerful.”After saying that, his eyes lit up as if he had already learned a unique skill. Lu Yun lightly tasted the tea in his hand. He looked into the distance and said softly,"I only went there because of its reputation. I wanted to see the cultural scene there. As for what to learn, it would depend on the situation.”Ling Chen smiled." I'm about the same as Brother Lu. I just heard that it's very famous there and wanted to go and take a look. We'll talk about what to learn later."‘Lin Yunfeng rolled his eyes and smiled." I heard that there are a lot of sword immortals there. You guys can learn some mantras and sword techniques. Maybe you can become a sword immortal." Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go. I can't wait any longer.”After saying that, he threw down a few copper coins and left with Lu Yun and Ling Chen. Ling Chen and Lu Yun looked at each other, smiled, and stood up, following him out. Not far away, Lin Yunfeng smiled and said," How long are you going to walk like this? I'll take you with me."”After saying that, he chuckled and looked ahead. Lin Yunfeng said,""Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang.”After saying this, he suddenly shot out a talisman with his right hand, instantly burning it, and a gust of air lifted up his, Ling Chen's, and Lu Yun's bodies, flying them forward. Lin Yunfeng looked at the two surprised people and smiled.""How is it? You have some skills, right? Hehe, this is my specialty. I'm the best at killing demons and catching ghosts. If you need any help in the Yi Garden in the future, you can look for me. I will definitely help you.”Ling Chen and Lu Yunwei nodded, smiling as they said,"I didn't expect you to be a hero who kills demons. If we have any difficulties in the future, we can look for you. When we reach Yi Garden, please take care of us.”Glancing at him, the two of them did not expect him to actually have some understanding of mantras and talismans. The three of them flew in the air at an extremely fast speed. They covered a hundred miles in a short while.
Yi Garden was one of the six courtyards in the world. It was located between Mount Emei and Mount Qingcheng. It occupied the precious land of spiritual beauty in Western Shu and was a world-famous cultivation holy land. The Yi Garden had been established for more than a thousand years. In these thousand years, the Yi Garden had always adhered to the fundamental principles of its initial establishment. It focused on cultivating the heart, supplemented by cultivation, and focused on cultivation. They would continuously nurture countless useful people for the world. The Garden of Changes was divided into four courtyards, namely the Qiankun and Yinyang courtyards. Among these four courtyards, the Qiankun and Yinyang courtyards were the most famous in the cultivation world, and in the human world, the Yin courtyards were the most famous. This was because the Yin Courtyard in the Garden of Changes was mainly used to kill demons and become ghosts. There were the most disciples in the garden, all of whom were swordsmen who eliminated demons in the human world. They were deeply loved and supported by the masses. In the Western Shu region, he had killed many demons and saved countless people. The Yi Garden wasn't very strict when it came to recruiting students, but it was extremely difficult to enter the four cultivation courtyards, namely the four Yin Yang courtyards. Every year, the number of disciples who could join the Yi Garden was very few, pitifully few. Regarding this point, Yi Garden's requirements were very strict. Without an excellent natural talent and pure background, Yi Garden would not accept them. When Lin Yunfeng, Ling Chen, and Lu Yun arrived at the Yi Garden, it was just past noon. It was the time when everyone had eaten. The three of them looked at the Yi Garden. It occupied a large area of no less than a few hundred acres. There were countless houses in it, and each house was well-arranged. It was obvious that it had been carefully designed and built. When Lu Yun saw this, his eyes revealed a trace of surprise. This Yi Garden was completely surrounded by an incomparably huge array formation. Rays of faint multicolored light flickered from time to time. Those without a deep cultivation would not be able to see it. Looking at the two huge Iron Fate guards at the entrance, Lu Yun and Ling Chen both revealed a faint smile as they slowly walked forward. Lin Yunfeng had already run to the door and was talking to the receptionist. When the two of them approached, Lin Yunfeng had already finished talking to the man. He grabbed their hands and followed the man in. Along the way, the two of them carefully observed the structure of the houses around them. The buildings here were simple and unadorned, not bustling. Clearly, it had a lot to do with the poverty of the people of West Shu. Following the Yi Garden disciple, they passed through a few corridors and arrived at a room. Looking around, there was a 60-year-old man sitting in the room. He had a strange appearance, and he looked like an immortal. It seemed that he was not an ordinary person, and both Lu Yun and Ling Chen had shocking cultivation levels. Seeing that this person's cultivation level was extremely high, they became slightly wary and carefully hid their spiritual energy and aura. The Yi Garden disciple whispered a few words into the old man's ear before turning around and leaving. The old man looked at the three of them and revealed a hint of admiration. He smiled and said,"The three of you have come from afar. Please sit. I'm the master of the four courtyards of the Yi Garden, Immortal Zi Yang. You can just call me Immortal Zi Yang. I heard that the three of you came here specifically to learn skills and want to enter the Yi Garden to learn the cultivation method. Is it true?”Lin Yunfeng was the first to speak." Perfected One's discerning eyes are like torches. Naturally, you can tell that I'm here to learn the Tao technique." My two companions are the same. Their bodies are thin and weak. They want to learn some immortal techniques to strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives. I hope you can be merciful and accept the three of us? My name is Lin Yunfeng, and they are called Ling Chen and Lu Yun.”After saying that, his eyes widened as he stared straight at Zi Yang. His appearance made the two people beside him unable to help but laugh out loud. Perfected Zi Yang looked at Lin Yunfeng and smiled.""This isn't something I can decide. Our Yi Garden is very strict when recruiting cultivation disciples. There were a few things he had to take note of. First, he had to be clean. Those with unknown origins would not be accepted by the Yi Garden. Secondly, one had to have good natural talent. The path of cultivation was difficult and arduous. Without good natural talent, it would only waste the cultivator's time and make no progress. Therefore, we advise those who are lacking in talent not to waste time. Third, one must be able to endure hardships and stand hard work. One must not give up easily and must have a strong will. Cultivation was not as easy as one imagined. Without perseverance, it was very difficult to achieve success. Fourth, they had to go through strict screening. Therefore, not everyone could enter the Yi Garden to learn cultivation techniques. That will depend on your identity, background, and opportunities. Now, tell me about your origins first. Let me hear it and see if there's any hope.”He looked at the three of them. Lin Yunfeng looked at Lu Yun and Ling Chen and smiled,""Alright, I'll go first. My name is Lin Yunfeng. I'm nineteen years old this year. I was an orphan since I was young and was taken in by a broken old Daoist. Ever since I was sensible, I followed that old master and learned the art of catching demons and ghosts. After so many years, I have somewhat achieved it. I thought that I could continue to learn from that old master. Who knew that not long ago, he suddenly said that he had something to do. His tone was mysterious and he instructed me to come here to continue learning the art of killing demons and catching ghosts. He disappeared the next day. I couldn't find it after searching for a few days, so I came here.”Zi Yang frowned.""Then do you know who your master is?”Lin Yunfeng pondered for a while and raised his head slightly.""I'm not sure, but I remember that he once mentioned that he was a famous ghost hunter in the cultivation world. I think he was called a ghost hunter or something. Have you ever heard of a master?”Perfected Zi Yang smiled upon hearing this. His eyes revealed a hint of a smile as he said with a light smile,""So it's him. I didn't expect you to be his disciple. He was actually a disciple of the Yi Garden back then, but he was my senior brother. I didn't expect you to meet him. It seems like he called you here for a reason. I'll help you tell them. There's a high chance that you'll stay. Because you came at the right time. Our Yi Garden recruits disciples once every ten years. In the past ten years, we will give our disciples a chance every six months to join us. Two days later will be the last chance for this year. If you come a few days later and miss it, you can only wait for next year. This time, eight years have passed since the ten-year deadline. There are only two more years left. Fortunately, there are still vacancies in the Four Great White Gardens. You still have a little hope.”He glanced at Lin Yunfeng as if hinting at him that there was a high chance. Looking at Lu Yun and Ling Chen, Reverend Zi Yang asked,"What about you two? Where are you from?" Lu Yun said softly," Zhenren Hui, Lu Yun's ancestors are from the capital. His father, Lu Wenyu, was once a scholar in the current dynasty. His ancestors were all officials in the dynasty and were all scholars. Twelve years ago, Lu Yun had moved to the Sword Garret of Western Shu with his father and had been living there ever since. Since I was weak and sickly since I was young, I have never been far from home. This time, my father also asked me to come here to see the world. If possible, I can also learn some body-strengthening techniques to avoid being plagued by illness.”Ling Chen said," I was born in the Northern Ice Plains, and my parents died when I was young. I heard that the Central Plains are vast and rich, and I admired them very much. I traveled over mountains and rivers to the Central Plains Trade Garden, wanting to learn some cultivation techniques.”Perfected Zi Yang was surprised. He looked at Lu Yun and asked,""Are you really a descendant of the Lu family in the capital? I've heard of your father, Lu Wenyu. Countless disciples of our Yi Garden are officials in the imperial court. Countless people have mentioned your father before. He was the most upright and promising official in the imperial court. Unfortunately, the imperial court is now corrupt and treacherous officials are in power. He really didn't think that two of the three people who came today were descendants of old friends. Ling Chen was able to travel from the Northern Ice Fields to here, so he must have great willpower. This might be his luck. I will put in a good word for you. As long as the yard master speaks, you will have a chance to become Yi Garden's disciples. Now, you guys sit here for a while. I'll go see the yard master and ask about you guys.”Lin Yunfeng immediately jumped up when he saw Daoist Ziyang leave. He smiled happily and said,""Hehe, I didn't expect it to be so easy. This is great. When I learn the ultimate skill, I can kill demons and become a hero who is respected by thousands of people. I'm so happy." Lu Yun looked at him and smiled." Don't be happy too early. This matter hasn't been decided yet." Even if you become a disciple here, you won't be able to learn anything without hard work.”After saying that, he smiled. There was a trace of indifference on his face, as if he did not care about this matter at all. Ling Chen nodded in agreement. In the Yi Tian Pavilion, the current yard master of the Yi Garden, or rather, the sect master, Perfected Xuan Yu, was sitting above, looking at the people below. There were a total of five people sitting in the pavilion. Apart from Perfected Xuan Yu, the other four were the heads of the four courtyards in Yi Garden. They were Perfected Qianyuan, the head of the Qian Yard, who looked around 60 years old, and Master Jingyue, the head of the Kun Yard. Master Jingyue was the only woman among the four Chiefs. She looked around 37 or 38 years old, and her eyes were cold and sharp, as if she could see through people's hearts. The third person was an old man in a robe. He was about 60 to 70 years old. There was a smile on his face, and he looked a little disrespectful. This person was the head of Yin Yard, Daoist Black Yin. The last one was Perfected Zi Yang. At this moment, Perfected Xuan Yu said,"Junior Brother Zi Yang, you came at the right time. I was just about to send someone to save you." The purpose of the gathering today was to discuss the recruitment of disciples in two days. This time, after the full recommendation of the subordinates and careful screening, a total of nine people were selected. This was a rather good situation. Now, there was only one spot left for the four disciples of the Qian Court, two spots for the six disciples of the Kun Court, four spots for the twelve disciples of the Yin Court, and five spots for the Yang Court. In total, they were short of twelve people. It was already quite good to be able to select ten disciples with potential this time. In that case, there would only be three people left to make up for the lack of people. You can choose properly in two days. Our Yi Garden has always been ranked at the bottom of the six academies. The main reason is that we have not had any outstanding talents over the years and have always been suppressed by the other five academies. He hoped that he would be able to shine this time and win some glory for Yi Garden. This is because the Yi Garden has produced two of the most outstanding people this year. They are Li Hongfei from the Qian Branch and Zhang Aoxue from the Kun Branch. As for the Yin Branch and the Yang Branch, their results are not bad either. I believe that with our strength this time, we should have a chance to compete with the other five courtyards.”The four people below did not say anything. Only Perfected Zi Yang had a hint of shame on his face, as if he felt guilty for not nurturing outstanding talents. He looked at the four people and said,"Senior Brother Xuan Yu, three more youths came to Yi Garden just now. They are all here to learn the cultivation method. The most peculiar thing is that two of the youths have extraordinary backgrounds and can be considered to have some connections with our Yi Garden. Although the last one is not the descendant of an old friend, he was able to travel from the icy plains of the extreme north to the Central Plains. He is also a person with great perseverance.”Perfected Xuan Yu was slightly surprised when he heard that.""If there's such a thing, tell us about it.”"One of the three youths is called Lin Yunfeng. His cultivation isn't shallow. He's already in the late stage of Talisman Sacrifice and has begun to control objects. The other two were called Lu Yun and Ling Chen. Both of them were talented youths, but they had yet to cultivate. Lin Yunfeng was from the Yi Garden, the successor of Junior Brother Xuan Gui. This time, he was coaxed by his master, but he didn't know it. You all know about Junior Brother Xuan Gui's temperament. Therefore, this time, our Yi Garden can have another disciple. As for Lu Yun, he was the son of Lu Wenyu, the descendant of the most famous Lu family in Beijing back then. As for Ling Chen, he came from the Northern Ice Plains, and he had great talent and willpower that ordinary people didn't have. Senior Brother, do you think these three people can be considered?”Perfected Xuan Yu glanced at the others and saw a hint of understanding in their eyes. He could not help but say softly,"Since they are the descendants of old friends and you think they are not bad, then call them here in two days and let everyone take a look. As for that Ling Chen from the Northern Ice Plains, since he didn't cultivate and was extremely talented, he should also be called over. If that junior apprentice brother was willing to take him in, then he could take him in. This matter was temporarily settled. As for our Sixth College, there are only two years left until the Martial Arts Symposium, which is held once every ten years. I hope that everyone will work hard and increase their efforts so that we can win some glory for our Yi Garden in two years. Does anyone have anything else to say?”Daoist Black Yin, who had been sitting still, opened his mouth and said,"Recently, evil things have started to surge in the southwest, and many people have been affected. I've already sent four more disciples to support them. Senior Brother Sect Leader thinks that we should investigate this matter properly. It's been almost a hundred years since so many ghosts and monsters appeared like this time. I feel that there might be some ominous signs here. For safety reasons, it's best to send someone to check.”"I already know what you're talking about." Perfected Xuan Yu frowned slightly. Recently, I have been observing the sky at night and have already vaguely noticed that the seven stars are abnormal, but it is not obvious yet. Therefore, the appearance of this matter may be a sign. Everyone must be careful. In order to deal with future matters, everyone must strengthen the supervision of their disciples and speed up their cultivation so that they can prepare for the future. I've already decided to reward the outstanding disciples this time. I'll let them consume the sect's most precious Heaven Gathering Pill to increase their cultivation. They'll have to deal with the Martial Arts Conference in two years and it'll be easier for them to deal with future changes.”As soon as he said this, the expressions of the four people below changed slightly. Among them, the Chief of the Heaven and Earth Second Garden revealed a happy expression. He seemed very happy. They all understood that this "Heaven Gathering Pill" was the Yi Garden's secret treasure. It gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the world's rare and exotic objects. After 49 years of cultivation, the entire Yi Garden only had 12 pills. Since the beginning of its establishment, six had been used, and only six were left. He didn't expect that the sect master senior brother would be willing to take it out to reward his disciples. It was really unexpected. Looking at the four of them, Perfected Xuan Yu said,""The reason why I did this was for the sake of our Yi Garden. It's been so many years. Thinking about it carefully, it should have been almost two hundred years. Our Yi Garden has never produced any outstanding figures. "Could it be that Li Hongfei and Zhang Aoxue have appeared this time? Everyone has seen how fast their cultivations have progressed. They have already mastered the seventh of our sect's Twelve Heavenly Changing Styles and are beginning to enter the eighth. Their speed is astonishing and is rare even in the entire cultivation world. That's why I have decided to nurture them so that they can represent the Yi Garden in the future and fight for some glory for it." The current cultivation world was filled with experts. Compared to the past, they didn't know what was going on. They couldn't figure out where so many experts had come from. It was really amazing and they didn't know what to say. Alright, let's not talk anymore. You guys can leave.”After saying that, he raised his head slightly and looked into the distance. The four of them glanced at him and left. Instantly, Perfected Xuan Yu was the only one left in Yi Tian Pavilion. He stood up slightly and walked to the door. Looking at the sky, Perfected Xuan Yu sighed and said,"The world is going to be in chaos. Monsters are bound to appear, and the cultivation world is going to face an unprecedented catastrophe. This time, how many sects would be able to survive and stand forever in this world? Perhaps it will be very difficult to find." He turned around gently, his back looking a little worn out as he slowly disappeared around the corner.
