Chapter 1502 - 141 - 147

Chapter 141: The advent of the phonograph

In the evening, there were around forty people that came to the training hall. There were young men and women who had countless wounds on their bodies. They had been beaten black and blue.

They all had depressed expressions and listless eyes.

When Nangong Yun saw this, she immediately raised her willow brows and said, "What happened here?"

"Elder sister, I'm sorry! I can't take it anymore, I want to leave!"

A capable young man had a face of regret. When he looked at Nangong Yun, he revealed a look of admiration because he admired this elder sister's sense of justice. Every time that someone was bullied, she would go and settle their grudges for them.

Only...there was no other way!

Following Nangong Yun meant that one would never have a peaceful day. There would be people challenging them everyday and not to mention secret plots, they would even be ganged up on. This kind of life meant trouble without end. Even though elder sister had given him quite a bit, he still had no choice but to withdraw.

Nangong Yun did not display any expression. This was one of the top ten rankers of the Vermillion Bird Courtyard and was one of the most important people in the Qilin Hall. If even he wanted to leave, then would Nangong Yun be happy?

This person gave a sigh, "I will give back everything that the dojo has given me and will even secretly provide the dojo with a sum of money, but...I really can't stay any longer. I hope elder sister can understand my situation!"

"I don't blame you and you don't need to compensate us for anything." Nangong Yun waved her head, "You can go!"

"Thank you elder sister!"

Feeling relieved, he had finally been released.

He quickly left the dojo.

Nangong Yun looked over everybody. Morale was very low so she immediately asked in a loud voice, "Who else wants to leave? You can stand out now!"

A small group of people stood out, there were four famous characters of the academy within this group.

Nangong Yun did not try to keep them here, "I've already said this before, the Qilin Dojo does not restrict people's freedoms. If you guys truly can't stay any longer, then feel free to leave right now."

Everyone revealed a look of admiration.

But there was still one fourth that left.

There were around thirty people left, each one with a black and blue face and expressions full of sadness. Their morale was very low and they did not know how long they could keep going.

Not bad!

There were more people that remained than she expected.

This was mainly because of Yun Xiao joining which helped to increase morale by a little, otherwise as least half of them would have left.

"Everyone sit down!"

Nangong Yun sat down cross legged on a cushion. Chu Tian and Yun Xiao stood at her sides.

These thirty or so individuals sat down. Although there were only around thirty people left, every single one of them were not simple. The weakest was at the peak 9th Body Refinement Layer and there were even a few at the 1st and 2nd Awakened Soul Layer.

Not only was Nangong Yun very beautiful, she was also very strong and a very straightforward person. She was also a talent from the Nangong Family, with a high charisma. Her initial development was very quick and at her peak, she had around ninety people.

"Do you guys regret following me?"

"We don't!"

Nangong Yi revealed a satisfied smile, "Everyone here has been wronged, but I'm very happy to see this many people staying here. You are all good, very good! You have passed the test! From now on, you have officially become the Qilin Hall!"

Everyone revealed a confused look.

When had their Qilin Dojo turned into a training hall?

Even after all these days, we still hadn't joined it yet?

Nangong Yun continued saying, "You have not realized it yet, but in this moment, your destinies have already begun to change!"

Saying this.

She once again stood up.

"There is something important I have to announce today!"

Nangong Yun was wearing a red robe with a straight figure. Her twin peaks pointed out like jade bamboo shoots, her butt was perfectly round like a peach, her thighs were very slender, and her figure had the perfect curves. With her fiery aura, her burning eyes, her smug passion, and her sex appeal, she displayed an elder sister's aura.

"Let me ask you first, do you want to become stronger?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay!

"Yes!"

"Of course we do!"

Nangong Yun angrily shouted, "Louder! This old lady can't hear you!"

This elder sister's fierce aura stunned everyone and they quickly shouted, "Yes!"

"Do you want to earn a large amount of gold coins?"

"Yes!"

"Do you want a high and honoured position above tens of thousands of people?"

"Yes!"

"Do you want to learn the strongest cultivation techniques and bring honour to your ancestors?"

"Yes!"

"I'll be very frank with you today. As long as you follow me, you will be able to achieve all of this!"

Under Nangong Yun's lead, the originally low morale disappeared and everyone was filled with energy. At this moment, Yun Xiao and Chu Tian brought out a black device and placed it on the ground.

This was a roughly shaped thing made out of iron and steel.

It was made of two parts. The bottom part was a rectangular iron box and the top part looked like a morning glory.

It was roughly manufactured and did not look good at all, but the structure itself seemed very proper. The parts were manufactured in a factory and then it was assembled by hand.

They could not see anything strange from its outside appearance!

What kind of strange thing was this?

Nangong Yun moved to Yun Xiao's side and heavily patted him on the shoulder, "Does everyone recognize this person?"

Aiyo!

Pain! Pain!

Yun Xiao felt as if his shoulder had been destroyed.

"He had fought over ten people and beat all of them, surprising everyone, but just a few days ago, he was a piece of trash that only knew how to eat and drink. Why is it that in this short amount of time, he was suddenly reborn?"

Yun Xiao revealed an awkward expression.

The way she put it was very impolite.

What did she mean by only knowing how to eat and drink?

I could be considered a prodigal son. People call me the love saint, alright?

Although he promised the boss he would be the spokesperson, the spokesperson should receive a bit of respect, right?

Yun Xiao swallowed all his grievances, the witch beside him was not a good person to talk to.

There were several people here that had fought with Yun Xiao. Not only had Yun Xiao seem like he was reborn, he had also given them advice which helped them quite a bit. Was there a special reason for why Yun Xiao had become stronger?

Nangong Yun saw what everyone was thinking, "Don't you also think that his progress is incredibly quick? Do you want to be the center of attention just like him? There is a chance for that now!"

Everyone was instantly filled with excitement.

Was there really a mysterious secret method?

Nangong Yun pointed at the black device, "This thing is your future. Now, let's ask Lu Ren to introduce himself to everyone."

In front of everyone's eyes, a young man walked forward, wearing a blue robe and carrying a long sword on his back. If Nangong Yun had not asked him to stepped forward, then no one would have noticed him.

Chu Tian intentionally stalled things out, "I want to ask everyone, have you heard of a person named Chu Tian? Have you heard of Miracle Commerce?"

"Chu Tian?"

"Miracle Commerce?"

"I know him. He is a legendary young man!"

The young man and woman revealed excited expressions. How could they have not heard of him before?

For the electric lamps smuggled over from South Sky City, each one had an increased price of four-five times the normal price. As for the Qi Refining Pills from South Sky City, each one was worth several tens of thousands of gold coins. These were the masterpieces of Miracle Commerce!

And Chu Tian was even more incredible!

He had beaten up the Heavenly Wolf Young Master and forced Ye Wudao to admit defeat!

He was simply an all powerful legendary young man!

Although he was not a person from Central State City, he was the idol of countless Central State City's youths. Some people were even comparing him with the Four Young Masters!

Chu Tian revealed a faint smile, "It's good that everyone has heard of him, but you only know that Chu Tian is the Miracle Commerce Chairman. As for your elder sister Nangong Yun, she is actually one of the high ranking personnel of Miracle Commerce."

Everyone was stunned.

This explained why all those people could not beat her.

Chu Tian returned to the main topic, "Everyone has endless potential and with the right guidance, it is not out of the question to advance a thousand li in a single day. It is a pity that there are many talents, but there is a lack of teachers. Destiny is not fair and everybody is born into different situations. Some are born with golden spoons, while others are born with nothing. Countless people are born with the potential to do great things, but because they do not have the right guidance, they will all vanish without accomplishing a thing."

That's right!

He's completely right!

There were over a hundred million people in Central State, was there really nobody that could compare with the Four Young Masters?

But so what if you had a talent that could compare with the Four Young Masters?

If one had a lowly birth, they might not even have the chance to practice a good cultivation technique. Not to mention having the best resources and the best teachers to guide them.

"The thing that Miracle Commerce is best at is, changing people's views!" Chu Tian interrupted everyone's thoughts, "This time, Yun Xiao was just the first one to benefit from this. There will be a second and third...and countless number of people!"

Everyone began to feel their blood boil.

Could the changes with Yun Xiao be reproduced?

Chu Tian pointed at the strange device and said, "This thing is the latest masterpiece from Miracle Commerce and is the gift that elder sister Nangong Yun has brought to Central State for everyone. It is a mysterious phonograph!"

This really was a strange thing. Why had they never heard about it before?

This phonograph was something Chu Tian had based off an old record and had roughly drawn, which he then allowed Tong Xiaoyu to redesign. He had given the design to Jing Hao last night and had made him quickly create one with his family's factory.

Because it was quickly made, it did not look great, but it did not affect its functionality.

"There's no need to say anything else!"

"Everyone just give it a try!"

Chu Tian magically took out a disc.

This disc was made from Magnetic Sound Stone and was about 20 cms in diameter. The surface was carved with runes that had not been seen before.

Chu Tian revealed the Magnetic Sound Stone disc in front of everyone and then he walked over to the phonograph. He carefully placed it in the machine, perfectly fitting into the empty groove.

That groove was also covered in runes.

When the runes in the groove and the runes on the disc met, the source energy array on the Magnetic Sound Stone disc began to light up. With the source energy released, it began to slowly turn.

"Zi, zi..."

From the flower shaped part of the thing, a sound was released. The loudspeaker inside began to release a low, deep, and slightly hoarse voice, "Hello everyone!"

Everyone here was shocked.

"Damn!"

"This machine can talk!"

"Has it formed a spirit?"

"No, there is definitely a person inside. I heard that some of the continent's clans are really small and can fit in this kind of box!"

"..."

Everyone began to discuss with one another.

This scene for them was too inconceivable!

Who would have thought that the disc would continue to turn and the low and deep voice continued to sound out, "Today the topic we will be talking about is the «Spirit Energy Refinement Skill»..."

The phonograph slowly began to turn.

The sound filled the entire main hall.

There was not a single sound as everyone stared with large eyes. Their mouths were open wide enough to stuff an apple inside.

It can't be?

It knew how to teach!

Chu Tian turned up a gear on the side and increased the sound to the highest setting letting everyone hear the voice clearly.

"Spirit energy is the root of a cultivator's strength, however cultivators only know how to increase the quantity of spirit energy they have and do not know how to increase the quality of their spirit energy. Just focusing on increasing spirit energy without increasing the quality, in the long run the spirit energy will be motley and impurities will fill the meridians causing internal damage and creating chronic injuries….."

Spirit energy refinement? Could this actually exist?

Everyone was immediately hooked.

Everyone only knew about wildly increasing their spirit energy thus letting them have more spirit energy. They had never heard of the fact that spirit energy could be refined which could bring them unimaginable benefits.

Everyone stop discussing as they all held their breaths and listened with their full attention.

In less than two minutes.

Everyone was deeply caught up in the lesson.

Because what this person taught them was simply too great. It referred to many classics as it explained countless profound spirit energy skills in a very simple language which allowed everyone to comprehend everything with ease.

Not to mention the people present.

Even Nangong Yun and Yun Xiao were stunned.

It was said well, it was very good! Even the famous teachers of Central State Academy could not compare with this lecture. This was a lecture from a true master!

The entire lesson lasted a total of forty five minutes. The voice from the box spoke at a very casual speed without saying a single unnecessary word from the beginning to the end. Every word was just right and got right to the point!

"…..The Source Energy Refining Skill is not only helpful in promoting one's cultivation base, it can also directly increase battle potential, make one's spirit energy more flexible, and quicken one's progress with a cultivation technique. I hope that everyone will take spirit energy refining seriously and will not focus purely on increasing your cultivation bases. It must be known, haste makes waste."

"This class will end here!"

When the sound disappeared, everyone was still filled with shock and no one responded.

"Pa, pa!"

It was unknown who clapped first.

Everyone seemed like they had awakened from a dream and quickly began to forcefully clap along. The warm applause rang out and it slowly became louder and warmer. It was like they expected the person in the box to hear them.

Inspiring!

Exciting!

The grievances and frustration they had completely disappeared and it was replaced with this incredible pleasant surprise!

This was a great invention! This was an era defining invention!

Chapter 142: The most broken class in history

It took a while for everyone to calm down.

Why could this box speak?

However, this wasn't important!

The way this box taught was too great. Even the best teacher of Central State Academy could not even compare to 1% of this thing! This remarkable and advanced view, as well as the sharp and wise focus...Perfect, too perfect. It would be great if we could listen to it again!

Everyone began to talk with each other as their faces filled with pleasant surprise and excitement!

Because they saw this as an opportunity! This once in a lifetime opportunity to change their destinies!

"Everyone calm down for a bit."

"I know you have many doubts in your minds, but I will try to solve them for you now."

Chu Tian pulled out the disk and lifted it high up in both hands to let everyone see it, "This small disk has a sound storing ability and this equipment has the ability to read the sound stored and play it back. Therefore it is named...a phonograph!"

Phonograph?

Good name!

A really good name!

Chu Tian spoke up to here and then gave a gentle snap.

Yun Xiao quickly brought out a large plate which had over twenty Magnetic Sound Stone plates scattered on it.

"Each disk was personally recorded by Chu Tian! They contain cultivation technique analysis, martial arts instructions, and knowledge on alchemy, symbol techniques, array formations, and all other kinds of fields! This is only the tip of the iceberg! Do you want to hear Chu Tian's teachings? Do you want to share in Chu Tian's wisdom? Do you want to learn Chu Tian's knowledge? This opportunity bestowed to you be the heavens is right in front of you! I believe that as long as you study for a week in the Qilin Hall, each and every one of you will be reborn and everyone here will undergo an unprecedented transformation! There is no doubt that this is the place where your destinies will change!"

"Teaching others will be the main business of this Qilin Hall. Our services however will not be limited to this. In the future, we will also reveal special services as the training hall develops. In order to properly create a training program, we will need to increase our strength and grow our cultivation bases! We will build the strongest training organization in history!"

"If Yun Xiao can be reborn!"

"You can as well!"

Pa, pa, pa!

Everyone's eyes were red as they all began to wildly clap.

Could they not be filled with this kind of excitement? Yun Xiao had been reborn in just a few days! He had been turned from a playboy into a talent with limitless potential!

If even he could do it.

Why can't we?

Nangong Yun was filled with admiration for Chu Tian. Although he wouldn't be personally teaching everyone, with this phonograph, he could indirectly teach them all by recording his lessons. It would help Miracle Commerce attract talented people, increase their influence, and would allow them to earn a large revenue, there were too many benefits to this! It was simply killing three birds with one stone!

She had no idea how he had even thought of this!

As long as Chu Tian recorded the lesson once, they would be able to make tens of thousands of copies.

The value of these items could not be measured with money. This enticement was something that students could not resist!

What does giving money count for? The Qilin Hall would give a person a whole new future!

This would become the most broken class in the history of Central State City!

Nangong Yun looked at the crowd that was filled with excitement and joy, and she could already see the future the Qilin Hall would have!

Perhaps these people will look back in the future and think about how lucky they were to join the Qilin Hall!

Chu Tian's voice changed, "There is no free meal in this world! All of the Qilin Hall's service will be charging a service fee!"

With this one sentence.

Everyone finally calmed down.

That's right, Miracle Commerce had no reason for teaching them for free. Qilin Hall also did not have the obligation to give them benefits for free.

"Qilin Hall will open up a large variety of courses in the future and each one will cost a different amount. Currently, each class will cost around ten thousand to five hundred thousand gold coins!"

What?

Ten thousand to five hundred thousand gold coins?

For a single class!

Even if a class was personally taught by Yun Tianhe, it still would not cost this much!

Chu Tian continued saying, "Everyone, don't look down on it because it is expensive. The class that you have just listened to for free tonight was only a lowest level ten thousand gold coins lesson. With a higher charge, the content would become even more precious. Sometimes there might even be talks about brand new technology that has not appeared on the continent yet. If one could profit from it, the value itself could be ten times or even a hundred times the price!"

The class they had just heard was only the lowest level ten thousand gold coins lesson?

This was already a hundred times better than a class from any Central State teachers! Then how valuable would the most expensive classes be?

This phonograph was already something that had never been seen in Central State City before. It itself was already a priceless treasure so the price was completely reasonable.

"Naturally you are seniors of the Qilin Hall, so you should get special accommodations. As long as you join Qilin Hall now, you will only need to pay an entrance fee of one hundred thousand gold coins! With just a meager hundred thousand gold coins, you can directly become a full member of Qilin Hall and enjoy many preferential treatments."

One hundred thousand entrance fee?

Then for people that want to join Qilin Hall in the future, they would have to pay at least one hundred thousand gold coins in entrance fees?

There was no organization in Central State Academy that dared to charge this kind of fee. It was simply too crazy!

"Members of Qilin Hall will have the rights to listen to the intermediate and high level courses. Since Qilin Hall has just begun to develop and urgently needs to grow bigger, we will also be offering referral rewards! As long as one brings an outsider that has never heard the course before, your fee will be cut by half!"

"Every time you refer a person to enter Qilin Hall, you will immediately receive a fifty thousand gold coin credit for your tuition fees. As well, every time that person spends gold coins in the training hall, you will be able to receive as high as 5% the value as credit!"

"If you can refer fifty people to the Qilin Hall, not only will you receive a large amount of credits for your tuition fee, you will receive 8% credits on their purchases and will be promoted to a high level member. All low level courses will be half price and you will also receive the qualifications to directly purchase disks for low level classes."

"If you can refer one hundred people to the Qilin Hall, not only can you enjoy the previously mentioned privileges, you will also receive a 10% credit on their purchase and will receive a limited edition phonograph. You will also receive five free disks for low level classes and will have the qualifications to create a branch of the Qilin Hall!"

"...."

This series of benefits stunned everyone here.

"Whether it is a member of the academy or not, Qilin Hall will treat everyone impartially and everyone can refer their friends and families to join the Qilin Hall. As long as it is not a member of the Chu, Luo, and Ye three great families, everyone is welcome to join!"

Chu Tian continued to announce.

"Do you want more knowledge? Do you want to earn a large profit? Then just do it! Now, I want to show everyone the topics that will be played tomorrow!"

Yun Xiao brought out a list on a board and placed it in front of everyone.

On the large board, there were golden words written listing the names of the courses.

«Thirty Six Basic Alchemy Skills One», twenty thousand tuition fee!

«Thirty Six Basic Symbol Technique Skills One», twenty thousand tuition fee!

«Thirty Six Foundational Martial Arts One», twenty thousand tuition fee!

«Eighty One Kinds of Basic Array Skills One», thirty thousand tuition fee!

«Thirty Foundational Cultivation Techniques Explained Part One», eighty thousand tuition fee!

...

The cheapest class here costed twenty thousand and the most expensive class costed eighty thousand. Everyone also noted that there was a number at the end of the names which meant that these were all part of a series.

For a single series, would they have to listen to over ten different classes?

Each class costed so much money, so how much would it cost for them to listen to the whole set?

With just a simple calculation, everyone broke out in a cold sweat. But they did not feel frightened at all, rather they were filled with excitement.

Opportunity!

This was a giant opportunity!

The larger the curriculum, the more knowledge there was. If they could listen to the entire thing, how much of a transformation would they undergo?

The more money they spent, the more opportunities would be available to them. As seniors of Qilin Hall, they could refer others and receive a large credit in return!

If they could invite a few local tyrants to join and study the entire curriculum, just the credit they received would be enough to cover their studies!

Those paying attention also realized that these were all low level courses!

There were still intermediate and high level courses above this low level course. Just how many higher level classes were there?

Knowledge!

It was all knowledge!

It was simply a sea of knowledge!

But in the end, this knowledge still required them to use money to buy!

Once Chu Tian had finished speaking, Nangong Yun began to suppress the excited beating of her heart. Her face was red as she stood up and loudly shouted, "Did you guys hear that? Don't say that elder sister doesn't give you good things! Go quickly! The opportunity has already been given to you! Search the market and go advertise, bring new people to our Qilin Hall. Whether you're able to earn money and become the carp jumping over the dragon gate will all depend on you!"

"Yes!"

Everyone immediately left.

They were like a flock of hungry wolves searching for prey to feed on.

Nangong Yun drew Chu Tian beside her, "Boss, aren't you being a little too ruthless? Charging several tens of thousands just for a single class, will there be people coming to listen to it? You have to know that ten thousand is a giant sum of money for a normal cultivator! It is enough for a person to live off of for an entire lifetime!"

Yun Xiao also thought that Chu Tian was being too ruthless.

Even a famous master like his grandfather would not dare to charge this much for a single class. Wasn't this ripping people off?

The price Chu Tian asked for was too much! It was even for a basic course!

With a single class, he would earn at least one million and could earn several million at most. Who would come to this class? Wouldn't the training hall be emptied before it even opened!

Who would have thought that Chu Tian would not care about it at all, "What do you know! It wouldn't be weird to spend tons of money to listen to Father's lessons! Of course I want to teach higher level content, but can one fly before one even learns to crawl? Stop speaking nonsense! You guys make the best use of your time and set everything up. The next few days will be very crowded."

Who told us to take you as the boss!

The two of them could only helplessly comply.

This place was already half dead, so it could not become any worse!

Actually, what Chu Tian recorded were just the basics of the basics. Chu Tian did not come up with anything new and just recited some basic textbooks from the future that he memorized that were recorded into the Magnetic Sound discs.

With just this.

He still dared to charge this sky high price!

Chu Tian's confidence was naturally justified!

The contents of the textbooks was the crystallization of the works of countless scholars over tens of thousand of years. Even if it was a basic textbook, it was still written with over thirty thousand years of insight. The arrays, runes, and formulas contained within could be considered priceless in this era!

Was Chu Tian selling it for too much?

It was not expensive at all!

Chu Tian had established the Qilin Hall to earn money for himself while also recruiting talented people. He was preparing Miracle Commerce for war in order to pave his path forward.

Of course!

Although he hadn't made an appearance yet, his movements were still too big. He would definitely attract the attention of many Central State families, but this was trouble that could not be avoided!

Chu Tian prepared himself. It would all come eventually, so what was he afraid of?!

Chapter 143: Qilin Hall

After Zhao Kun left Qilin Hall, he walked home filled with excitement.

The phonograph was an era creating invention. It was even more creative than the electrical lamps!

Zhao Kun was completely shocked by the fact that the knowledge within these sound discs surpassed the academy's knowledge by thousands of years. He couldn't wait to hear them all!

I really thought it was strange. How could that bastard Yun Xiao advance so quickly!

If I had this kind of resource, I would not lose to that fellow at all!

Only, Zhao Kun was born into a poor family and did not have a rich family to support him. With such an expensive tuition, he had no way of paying for it even if he sold everything!

Zhao Kun was not willing to fall behind others!

People could not be suppressed! There had to be a way!

Several rocks fell down around him and countless human figures appeared, instantly surrounding Zhao Kun.

This is bad!

Zhao Kun turned to run away.

"Hei, hei, hei!"

"Old master here has been waiting for a long time for you!"

A brawny face man with a cold expression stepped in front of him and blocked him. The other six people all had strong auras and it was clear that they were all experts.

"Wang Meng, what are you doing?!"

Wang Meng was the 26th ranked on the Azure Dragon Ranking and Zhao Kun was the 26th ranked on the Vermillion Bird Ranking, but even though they had the same rank, Wang Meng was much stronger than Zhao Kun.

Of the four Central State Academy Courtyards, the Vermillion Bird Courtyard was the weakest. The experts of the Vermillion Bird Rankings could not compare with the experts of the other three rankings.

"What am I doing?' Wang Meng cracked his fingers, immediately releasing a ka ka noise that sounded like beans cracking. He had a fiendish smile as he looked at Zhao Kung, "I already warned you not to go back to the Qilin Dojo! The results? You completely ignored what father said! If I don't make you suffer a bit, who would listen to father in the future!"

Damn, they really are here to cause trouble!

Wang Meng was already hard enough to deal with alone, not to mention all the people he brought with him!

"Boss! Why are you wasting words with him?"

"Let's beat him until he's unable to stand up! Then we'll see if he dares to disobey again!"

Wang Meng's brothers were eager to fight.

"It's impossible for me to withdraw!" Zhao Kun was ready to sacrifice everything as he shouted with a determined face, "My life is not worth anything! If you have the skills, then take it!"

Wang Meng was filled with curiosity, "Has your brain become stupid? Isn't it just leaving the organization! It's not like we're asking you to kill your father right?"

"You don't understand anything!"

"You dare say this to father!"

Wang Meng flew into a rage as he attacked.

Zhao Kun was inspired as he loudly shouted, "Wang Meng! Use your brain and think about it, why did Yun Xiao show off in the Vermillion Bird Courtyard? Why did Yun Xiao blatantly join the Qilin Hall like that? He was advertising for Qilin Hall!"

Wang Meng could not understand, "Advertising? Advertising for what!"

"Yun Xiao took the advanced Qilin Hall classes for three days and was reborn. The current you couldn't even block two slashes from him!"

"Is this true?"

Wang Meng was shocked.

"You don't believe me?" Zhao Kun's eyes shined as he said, "How about we make a trade? There will be several classes at Qilin Hall tomorrow, I recommend you go and listen. Each class costs twenty thousand gold coins!"

"Fuck!" Wang Meng flew into a rage, "Twenty thousand for a single class?! This bastard thinks father is a fool! Everyone attack! Beat him!"

Zhao Kun was ready to make any sacrifice, "I'll pay for you!"

Wang Meng was stunned.

Twenty thousand gold coins!

Although it wasn't a lot, it still wasn't a small amount. It was not something that a common Body Refinement Cultivator could never take out. Even if it was an Awakened Soul Cultivator, twenty thousand gold coins would be enough for them to buy an Elixir and increase their cultivation.

Zhao Kun said, "I'll lend you the money! If you are satisfied, then you'll just pay me back! If you are not satisfied, then you don't need to return a single coin!"

Is he serious?

They were dumbfounded.

A class that cost twenty thousand gold coins was something that the top scholars of Central State City charged. Did that mean that Qilin Hall was hiding a mysterious expert? Thinking about how Yun Xiao had changed in two days, this was completely possible.

"Brother Meng, what do we do?"

"I feel like we can give it a try!"

"After all, that Yun Xiao's change was too strange."

"Since this idiot is paying for us, we might as well go and take a look!"

Wang Meng's brothers were all filled with curiosity. It was just like what Chu Tian said, for a student of the Central State Academy, knowledge had a greater enticement than money.

"Alright!"

"We'll give it a try!"

"If I find out that you're speaking nonsense, father will beat you until you can't even piss!"

Zhao Kun let out a sigh.

He had escaped this trial.

Wang Meng and his brothers left. Once they returned to the Azure Dragon Courtyard, they found that there were many people there discussing something.

"Did you hear? A mysterious treasure has appeared in Central State Academy!"

"Treasure? What treasure!"

"It's a thing called the phonograph. It can completely record anything that a person says. It's said that there is a grandmaster level character giving people lessons through recordings!"

"Are you serious?"

"Don't doubt me, I saw it personally! It's also said that Yun Xiao was reborn because he learned from the content recorded!"

"Is this real? Why don't we go take a look as well!"

"...."

Wang Meng's group was stunned.

That brat did not lie to them!

In just a short evening, the news spread all over the Central State Academy. After the large family juniors of Qilin Hall came back, they began to appeal to their friends and families, doing everything possible to win them over.

Recruiting people could bring immediate benefits for them and could give surprising benefits to anyone they invited. With the resources at the Qilin Hall's disposal, it was inevitable that they would rise up. Of course they would get more benefits for joining sooner!

Phonograph?

What kind of thing is this!

They had never heard of it before!

Dozens of people spread wonderful rumours.

How could this device talk? How strange!

What principle was this phonograph made from!

Another even heavier piece of news was spread around. The reason why Yun Xiao was reborn and could fight his way to the Vermillion Bird second rank was all because of this thing!

This was incredible!

Everyone began to ask around and find where these rumours came from. It was the Vermillion Bird Courtyard's Qilin Hall!

This was a very normal training hall, but they released a set of courses with such a high price. It made everyone's blood boil!

But even with the expensive price of the Qilin Hall, with Yun Xiao personally acting as advertisement, as well as the mysterious phonograph they heard about, this was two gimmicks launching a two pronged attack. Adding in the recommendations of the training hall members, there were people that were half doubtful now.

There were some rich people that decided to give it a try!

...…

The next morning.

It was the first day Qilin Hall was open for business.

"What kind of crappy training hall is this!" Wang Meng entered into the crude Qilin Hall and looked around himself, "It's this broken and it still dares to do business?"

Zhao Kun ignored him and went to pay the tuition fee, "Come this way!"

There were five lessons today and there were three lessons that cost twenty thousand gold coins each.

Zhao Kun had picked «Thirty Six Foundational Martial Arts One». The training hall area for the broadcast was very big and there were twenty-thirty cushions placed. In front of them were a few people. Many of them were familiar faces, but there was a small portion of new people.

Yun Xiao gave a yawn and walked over while digging for earwax.

"Sit down! Everyone sit down!"

"Everyone be quiet!"

Everyone immediately closed their mouths. He was a famous person in the academy and there was no one that dared to offend him. Yun Xiao appearing in the Qilin Hall confirmed many rumours that they heard and filled many of the new people with excitement.

He carried out the crude phonograph and placed it in the center.

"Get ready! Let's begin!"

Yun Xiao carefully placed a Magnetic Sound Stone disc inside and activated the phonograph array. Once it began to operate, static came from the loudspeaker, "Zi, zi, zi!"

The entire hall was filled with silence and no one dared to blink. They all opened their ears to listen.

Finally a low, deep, and clear voice came out of the loudspeaker.

"Hello everybody!"

Wang Meng and the others who were here for the first time all had their eyes pop out in shock, just like they had seen a ghost!

This...This is too strange!

This crude machine could really talk!

For people born in this era, they would not know how this thing worked even if they broke their heads!

"The topic being discussed today will the first class of «Thirty Six Foundational Martial Arts»!"

"Combat strength is something that cultivators need to have, so how should one effectively increase their combat strength? Have you already displayed the strongest combat strength you can display? Today's lesson will talk about the problems with foundational martial arts..."

The disc slowly rotated on the phonograph.

At this moment, it seemed like time had froze!

Everyone had a shocked expression on their face.

That low, deep, and clear voice that was somewhat magnetic came from the loudspeaker shaped like a flower. It discussed the essence of combat martial arts from every angle and even introduced some practical fighting skills. It also talked about various academy martial arts, breaking down each move and improving them.

Wang Meng's surprised gradually changed into pleasant surprise and finally became shock!

He was filled with disdain at first!

What was the point of learning foundational martial arts?

Hasn't it been the same for thousands of years? Even if they were changed, would their might be increased by that much?

When the phonograph's voice gave a detailed explanation, Wang Meng instantly realized that there were many profound skills within these basic martial arts!

What was called returning to the basics after ten thousand changes?

What is called making the large dao simple!

These seemingly simple and common martial arts were actually hard innovate and improve!

Wang Meng realized in this moment that the foundational martial arts he had trained for years couldn't even be considered trash. It was completely filled with errors!

Inconceivable!

Unthinkable!

Wang Meng was more and more shocked and excited as he listened. The voice coming from this phonograph was like that of an old master. There was not a single wasted word and each word was filled with wisdom. Each word far surpassed anything written in the books he read!

This was a completely new foundational cultivation system!

Wang Meng was being choked by his emotions. This was like discovering a whole new continent!

"The lesson will end here today."

"If you wish to learn more, please pay attention to the broadcast time for the «Thirty Six Foundational Martial Arts» second class. The second class will introduce several classical techniques that will allow one to easily control a battle. Goodbye everyone!"

It's over?

How could it be over!

"Why is there nothing? Continue broadcasting!" Wang Meng stood up, "I'll give you money!"

Yun Xiao casually sat beside the phonograph and squinted his eyes as he looked at him, "Fuck, thinking you can listen just by giving money? Do you think you're watching a show in a brothel! Scram!"

Wang Meng anxiously scratched his head.

This was too excruciating!

Because what was said was too great and he had not heard most of it while he was in his shocked condition. When he recovered, he couldn't remember most of the content.

It had to be known.

The lesson seemed like it was very simple, but it contained a lot of information which one had to carefully study.

Zhao Kun stood up while holding a notebook.

"You took notes?" Wang Meng glanced at the notes and seeing that it was completely filled, he was like a man who had eaten several pounds of aphrodisiac suddenly seeing a woman. He excitedly jumped up and reached out his hand to steal the book, "Quick! Let me take a look!"

"This master has given many theories which contains hidden knowledge, I need to study it for several days to digest the information! Why would I give it to you?" Zhao Kun did not give him face at all, "Do you know how much this information is worth? Your fee for the class was also paid for by me!"

Wang Meng loudly shouted, "Fuck! What does twenty thousand gold coins count for! Can this even be measured with money? This is something incredibly rare! Do you want money? Father has money! I'll buy your notebook for one hundred thousand gold coins! Just let me have a look!"

"I want to as well!"

"Also me!"

"My family has money, let me look at it first!"

The people Wang Meng brought all crowded around him.

"Fuck!" Wang Meng looked at them with killing intent, "Aren't you thinking a little backwards! Who is the boss! Scram for me!"

Wang Meng had high prestige, so if he said something, no one dared to go against him.

Of course, that was for a normal situation. The way things developed today completely surpassed their expectations.

"Young master Wang Meng is truly too arrogant!"

"I have been uncomfortable looking at you for a while now!"

"We will be people of Qilin Hall from now on, so we need to create the boundaries!"

"You're completely right. This fellow dares to beat people of the Qilin Hall, so we don't want to associate with him in the future!"

"Humph, daring to hit members of the Qilin Hall. For beating up our comrades, we can no longer co-exist with you!"

Wang Meng almost exploded from his anger!

These fools were getting ahead of themselves!

When we were beating the Qilin Hall members, didn't you all have a part in it? Now you are all completely wiping yourself clean and leaving! It's fine if you betray me, but now you want to pin it all on father, how is that fine!

If this matter caused him to be unable to join the Qilin Hall, wasn't this trying to take his life?

Chapter 144: Popular

"That's right! It was him that beat me last time!"

Several Qilin Hall senior members encircled them with angry looks. How could they let him off? This fellow had beaten quite a few Qilin Hall members, so not asking elder sister Nangong to take care of him was already good enough. This fellow actually dared to come take lessons at Qilin Hall!

Wang Meng's face fell, "Wait, wait! It's a mistake! I was also misled and that's why I did those foolish things!"

"Stop talking, just drive him out!"

"Bastard! We don't welcome you here!"

Wang Meng was as anxious as an ant on fire. It didn't matter if he was rejected by a normal hall, however, with the knowledge the Qilin Hall contained, it could easily change his destiny. How could he be willing to give this up?

"I'll compensate you for your spiritual losses and medical expenses! If that still isn't fine, then I'll let you hit me once. As long as I don't die or become crippled, I'm fine with anything!"

Wang Meng was willing to go all out.

"Alright, alright, everyone don't be angry." Zhao Kun saw that everyone was filled with indignation, so he immediately chose to play peacemaker, "Since he's willing to compensate everyone, then just let him compensate you. Right now Qilin Hall is still growing so turning an enemy into a friend is a good thing."

Wang Meng's head was covered in sweat as he nodded, "That's right! That's right! Everyone will be a family from this day forward. If anyone wants to go against Qilin Hall, then they will be going against me, Wang Meng!"

"Humph!"

Zhao Kun had quite a bit of influence in Qilin Hall, so everyone had to give him some face.

"Do you guys want to join?" Zhao Kun swept his eyes across them, "Then first pay the one hundred thousand entrance fee!"

"One hundred thousand entrance fee?"

It was a little high.

They had never heard of a training hall charging such a high entrance fee.

"You think you're suffering from paying one hundred thousand? Let me tell you! Qilin Hall's newest benefits! Out of the hundred thousand gold coins, fifty thousand will be considered tuition fees, becoming the fees you saved up in advance and the money for lectures will be directly deducted from this amount. The membership fee you pay every month from now on will be directly stored as tuition fees. You have to spend the money anyway and after becoming a member, you have the right to listen to intermediate and high level courses, is that still expensive?"

Wang Meng quickly said, "Not expensive! Not expensive! Too cheap! I'll pay, I'll pay!"

One hundred thousand entrance fee.

Fifty thousand would go to the referrer as credit and the other would be used as tuition fee. As well, the referrer would earn 5% on whatever the referral spent.

Zhao Kun calculated how much he gained from introducing seven people.

Didn't he just earn three hundred and fifty thousand in tuition fee credits?

These fellows all came from large families and their families were all rich, they would definitely spend more money in Qilin Hall and give him even more passive revenue!

Other than that, with the knowledge obtained from Qilin Hall, he could study it at home, sell it to others, or use it for other purposes!

With this kind of calculations.

Not only was the Qilin Hall a good place to practice, it was also a good business opportunity! If Zhao Kun could recommend a hundred people to join, not only would he have a higher revenue, he would also have the rights to open up a branch hall!

Zhao Kun felt his blood begin to boil.

Wasn't he completely worried about money yesterday?

Now it seemed like not only did the Qilin Hall change his destiny, it had even become a great cause that was worth him fighting for!

"New benefits, new benefits!" Yun Xiao came out with a lazy look, "According to elder sister's research, she just made a decision that there will be a free member class every month which only formal members can enjoy! Ordinary members will enjoy a 20% discount on the normal price. Our Qilin Hall is still in the first phase of development and resources are limited, so we will only be recruiting a limited amount of members. You might not have a chance to join if you're late, so sign up as soon as you can!"

What?

There was a quota for members?

Why didn't you say so earlier!

What did one hundred thousand gold coins count for!

Wang Meng anxiously rushed through the crowd and slapped several gold coin cards onto the table. His face was completely red as he said, "I want to join the Qilin Hall! I'll deposit five hundred thousand gold coins first!"

Everyone anxiously rushed forward.

The popularity of this offer far exceeded their expectations!

Yun Xiao couldn't help happily chuckling to himself. The boss truly has an accurate foresight. He and Nangong Yun had been worrying that no one would come, but in the end, the people joining far exceeded their expectations.

God!

If this trend continued, the ten percent he and his sister would get would be a terrifying amount!

He revealed an uncaring expression, "What are you anxious about? One at a time! Line up!"

More than ten people joined Qilin Hall, each one paying at least one hundred thousand gold coins in entrance fees. There was also many that deposited a lot of money as a show of their determination to stay in Qilin Hall!

This was truly ironic.

Wang Meng had been paid by others to beat up the members of Qilin Hall and had once tried to undermine the development of Qilin Hall. In the end, he had been brought to a lesson by Zhao Kun and switched sides without any hesitation.

This was the charm of knowledge.

This was the power of knowledge!

It was hard to resist and it made people crazy!

After Nangong Yun counted their profits that night, she was so excited that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

"We broadcasted five lessons today and had thirty people sign up, collecting three million in entrance fees and one million in tuition fees. There were also some people that also deposited several million in tuition fees which brings our day's total to seven million gold coins!"

Earning seven million gold coins in a single day!

Yun Xiao almost fainted with fear!

This was only the first day! Qilin Hall's potential still had not been fully displayed. There would be more people joining and would result in it becoming an even larger earning figure!

How great would it be if it continued developing like this?

After Chu Tian saw the data, he nodded in satisfaction, "It's a little better than I imagined, but it'll be even higher tomorrow! We'll put a limit of three hundred people on the first batch, but raise the requirement a bit, I don't want any kind of people entering into Qilin Hall! Pay special attention to exclude all members of the three great families!"

Nangong Yun nodded, "You can relax!"

"Yun Xiao, tell your sister that we might be in for some trouble and possibly some danger. Let her watch the people from the three great families and report back if anything changes!"

"Understood!"

When they saw Chu Tian's strange money making method first hand, how could they not be filled with admiration?

They had never seen a scene where people were fighting to throw money at them, as if they would miss a quota if they were a single step behind.

The next day.

Qilin Hall was even more popular than yesterday.

Over a hundred people came to listen to the Qilin Hall lectures, but Qilin Hall raised their recruiting standards. They didn't accept those that were too old, too weak, or anyone from the three great families, so half the people that came were rejected.

On that day, they still earned eight million gold coins in revenue.

Those that were rejected were all filled with anxiety. It was a good thing that Qilin Hall still had not opened the intermediate and high level courses since the low level courses were open to the public, only they didn't receive the benefits of being a member.

This still would not last long!

Those that were too weak could only go home and find those that met the requirements since it was better to get a spot first! There were even some people that changed families, leaving the three great families and hiring themselves to the Yun Family...They did this to join Qilin Hall as soon as possible!

In just two short days!

Qilin Hall had already earned eighteen million gold coins. The Yun siblings would take 10%, Tong Xiaoyu and Jing Hao would take 10%, Nangong Yun would take 10%, and 10% was left as development funds. The rest of the income all went to Chu Tian!

Not bad! His wallet was filled once again.

But this still wasn't enough!

Chu Tian was not worried about money anymore.

Once the first batch was recruited for Qilin Hall, Chu Tian would definitely have enough to buy the Elemental Source Stone!

During this time, the Qilin Hall members were like a pack of hungry wolves looking for food all day. In the academy, outside the academy, as long as they didn't belong to the three great families and met the requirements, they were all delivered to Qilin Hall.

They could give others a pleasant surprise and get benefits for themselves, so why wouldn't they do it?

With this kind of marketing, it only took a week's worth of time!

The Qilin Hall had around three hundred members who met the standards required, almost completely filling the little training hall. Their total income was over forty million gold coins and even after giving shares to his partners, Chu Tian still had enough for his needs!

The profit earned in a single week surpassed the total amount of profits Miracle Commerce had earned!

That wasn't to say that Miracle Commerce's profitability was bad. Qilin Hall just had a quick development and it had a very high income. One had to have talent, skills, youth, and potential to join.

In this week's time, the rankers from all the four courtyards had joined Qilin Hall.

After today, Qilin Hall's development would slow down and knowledge was slowly being spread to everyone, so Chu Tian had to keep up the Qilin Hall's charm and update the knowledge it taught.

Since they had gained enough money.

In order to maintain the quality of Qilin Hall, Chu Tian stopped accepting new members. Those people that were too slow could only stamp their feets in regret.

In addition, Qilin Hall's strong rise had already attracted the attention of countless Central State powers!

The four courtyards were filled with talents from the four great families. As for Qilin Hall's splendor, there was no way that the four great families would not receive rumours about them.

Moreover, Qilin Hall had placed a target on people from the Chu, Ye, and Luo families, not letting anyone from those families join! This was clearly stating that they would not work with the three great families!

The boss shown for Qilin Hall was Miracle Commerce's Nangong Yun, so it was not hard to imagine the relations they had. Although they did not know what kind of strange place Qilin Hall was, it could still rise up this fast. But since they decided to create hostile relations with them, how could the three great families just turn a blind eye?

Because of this.

The three great families sent out messengers and organized a secret meeting with each other.

Seeing how Qilin Hall was developing, they could see that any interference or threats they used would be no use. If all the middle sized and small families joined together, they could still pressure the three great families.

"What is there to be afraid of?"

"Central State City is our territory!"

"The one secretly supporting Qilin Hall is probably the Yun Family. If out three families work together and crush Qilin Hall, what could the Yun Family do to us?"

"We'll just do it together!

"We'll each send out one expert and solve it with violence! We cannot let them expand any further! Not only that, we also need to steal their things!"

"...."

Miracle Commerce was getting stronger in South Sky City which made the three great families nervous, but since the Divine Wind Marquis had already acted, they could not go to South Sky City and cause trouble for Chu Tian.

Therefore the three families could only create rumours in Central State and try to defame Chu Tian. Before Chu Tian could send his troops into Central State, they would first destroy his image.

However.

In just a few days?

Miracle Commerce had already rooted themselves down in Central State City and Chu Tian had not even personally appeared yet!

The strategical value of Qilin Hall was much greater than its economical value. Qilin Hall had gathered the juniors from hundreds of medium and small Central State families who had talents in all domains.

Compared to money, Miracle Commerce was lacking talented people more.

They also lacked supporters in addition to talented people!

Once Qilin Hall matured, with the backing of Miracle Commerce, it would basically mean that Miracle Commerce would have a storage of talented people. As well, it would also allow them to gain the support from the medium and small sized families!

It had to be said that this move from Miracle Commerce was very correct. It had many purposes which would solve many problems that they had to deal with when fighting their way into Central State!

From this one move, the three families understood that Miracle Commerce was prepared to enter the Main City, but their speed was too quick! The company had only been set up for around two months and they already wanted to enter the Main City?

At any costs!

Before Qilin Hall could establish itself, they had to be strangled off!

Not only did they have to destroy them, they had to steal all their technology. This was the Four Great Families' territory, who would stop them if they went overboard? Just like flowing water, they were using a single brutal step to directly achieve their goals! As if they were demonstrating their decisive and relentless attitude!

Chapter 145: Large trouble

While the three great families were secretly making their decisions, the high ranking members of Central State Academy were also holding an urgent meeting.

Yun Tianhe had already arrived a long time ago as he sat down in the vice principal chair.

Central State Academy had a total of three deans, one head dean, two vice principals and a principal who held the chief executive power. After all, Central State Academy was a school that the Southern Summer Country had officially established.

Because of this, Central State Academy's regular executive and educational decisions were usually made by the two vice principals. The principal had a higher position, but he didn't care about the school's daily affairs. Only when there was a serious matter would he show himself.

This emergency meeting was being held by the head dean and he had requested everyone to come.

Yun Tianhe's eyes swept across everyone else here, looking at all the old men sitting there. They all had a serious expression on their face as if they were worrying about something, only Yun Tianhe had a casual expression on his face. The things that had happened recently continuously filled Yun Tianhe with pleasant surprise!

"Sir principal is here!"

A forty-fifty year old middle aged man walked in. He was wearing a crown on his head embedded with green jade, a purple embroidered light green gown, and a milky white silk jacket around him. With a dark face and righteous facial features, as well as a little beard, he gave people a kind of dead mechanical feeling.

Out of the Central State Academy executive officers, Yun Tianhe was just a vice principal, managing most of the education administrative duty. He had a very large reputation because after all, Yun Tianhe had a very lofty status in the Central State academic circle. However, Central State Academy was a place established for the students, so a patriarch of a local family could never fully represent the school.

Feng Yunhu was the Central State Academy's principal.

Feng Yunhu was the Central State City's vice mayor, but he also concurrently held the role as the Central State Academy principal. His elder brother Feng Yunlong was the mayor. The reason why the two could enjoy such lofty statuses was all because they were members of the Divine Marquis, Feng Yuntian's family.

Everyone immediately stood up to salute, "Greetings principal!"

Feng Yunhu walked in front of the principal's seat and his eyes swept across everyone as he asked, "Is everyone here yet?"

"It seems like vice principal Chen is not here yet!"

"Humph, she's always doing what she wants. Why is she late for such an important meeting?!"

As soon as his voice fell.

The temperature of the room dropped and everyone felt a strong chill coming in from the corridor. It was an incomparable bone chilling cold that even covered the tea pots on the table with a layer of frost.

A girl walked in.

Everyone felt a cold aura. It seemed like as long as this girl was present, the surroundings would become frozen.

That simple black gauze skirt made her snow white skin seem even more white and tender. Her manner was graceful and her stature was plentiful, her appearance made her seem younger than thirty.

A pair of eyes like the cold night sent out a cold glow. That white beautiful face did not have a trace of a smile on it and her entire face seemed like it was completely frozen.

Cold!

This woman gave everyone a cold feeling!

This kind of cold was like a block of polar ice, never melting even after ten thousand years.

Feng Yunhu had just made a complaint and the other side suddenly appeared. He was feeling a little embarrassed, but he swept his sleeves, "Vice principal Chen is here, then please sit down. We are about to begin."

The black gauzed girl did not say a single thing.

She completely ignored Feng Yunhu and just sat down in her spot.

Feng Yunhu was already used to this so he did not get angry, "Everyone, the important matter being announced today is that the Central State Academy trials held every five years are about to begin. Every trial only has ten participants and the tradition is that the Four Great Families all have a single spot already. The other six spots will be decided with the Central State Academy Great Games!"

"The Central State Academy Great Games is held once every five years and is a very important event. Not only does it help the Central State Academy show off our prestige, it also works with our major interests! I believe that after countless efforts, our courtyards have already selected the best candidates possible!

"But I think having this contest be exclusive to Central State Academy is too small! It will not allow our youths to develop their worldviews and temper their strengths!"

Everyone's expression changed.

Does the principal want to change the rule?

This was an important matter!

Feng Yunhu continued saying, "Because of this, I wish to propose some minor changes. Each courtyard will send out a dozen participants and we will pick out two batches from the young cultivators of Central State City, allowing them to enter our Great Games. This will allow our students to gain practical Jianghu experience and also give those youths that have not joined our academy a chance to show off!"

The principal would not change the rules for no reason.

There had to be a reason, but what was it?

The academy itself did not lack members of the Chu, Luo, and Ye Families.

This kind of change did not provide any benefits to them because the addition of foreign contestants would increase the competition and may affect the students of the courtyard. Although this was a small chance, it was not a guarantee.

"Two vice principals!" Feng Yunhu did not wait for the others to say anything before asking, "What do you two think?"

The black gauzed girl gently said, "No objections!"

Yun Tianhe did not care either. These changes would not affect his Yun Family since he couldn't count on Yun Xiao. Although he was reborn, it was highly unlikely he would be able to fight his way into the top six, "The effects of adding two groups of outsiders to the twenty groups of courtyard members will not be great. We might as well give it a try."

"Good! Since the two vice principals have no objections, then we'll immediately implement this change!"

Feng Yunhu did not give anyone else a chance to object.

Seeing all three chiefs agreeing, even if the others disagreed, there was no one that dared to say it out loud. They could only silently approve of this plan.

Temporarily adding in two groups of people.

This would not have any large effects.

[TL Note: You never met Chu Tian before...]

"This matter has been decided!" After Feng Yunhu solved the biggest problem, his face turned serious again as he said, "There is also another matter. I've received some reports the past few days and have learned that many students have been skipping classes and the ones skipping are the high ranked students. With the Great Games approaching, isn't this a little inappropriate? Do you all not want to give me a solution?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"I have already investigated the reason why all the students have been skipping classes." A Luo Family senior member quickly spoke, "They have been going to a training hall to listen to lectures!"

"What a joke!" Feng Yunhu was not normally at the academy, so he did not have a good understanding of the academy's situation, "A random training hall is actually better than Central State Academy? A place like this will affect the student's studies, so let's just ban it!"

"Ke, ke!" Yun Tianhe gave two embarrassed coughs, "Principal, we do need to talk about this matter, but we also need to clearly investigate it. Perhaps this Qilin Hall has its good points!"

Feng Yunhu looked at Yun Tianhe with discontent, "Senior Yun! You are the most knowledgeable, so are you still not clear on the background of Central State Academy? Don't think that I don't know about it. It's just a training hall set up by the small Nangong Family, what kind of great things could they even have! I already disapprove of those student organizations and now they're even skipping classes, this matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

The reason why Qilin Hall could rise up so quickly.

Was 100% related to the mysterious young man!

Yun Tianhe had clearly investigated everything. That fellow named Lu Ren....was 80-90% that famous genius Chu Tian!

After Yun Tianhe had investigated his real status, his heart filled with anxiety. Chu Tian had quite a large reputation in Central State, but he had a reputation of being evil and wild.

The wild reputation was because of his fighting.

The evil reputation was because of the rumours from the three great families.

This young man was an unparalleled talent, but he held a deep grudge with the three great families making him a dangerous powder keg! If Feng Yunhu were to thoroughly investigate the Qilin Hall, it would be hard to keep Chu Tian's identity hidden!

Yun Tianhe stood up and said, "Alright, then this old man will personally go and take a look."

"As far as I know, your grandson Yun Xiao is an important member of Qilin Hall." Feng Yunhu gently said, "In order to avoid suspicion, I think it will be better if Senior Yun doesn't personally take care of this task! I think...How about we let vice principal Chen act instead?"

Yun Tianhe's expression changed.

What?

Let her act instead?

Everyone's eyes fell onto the other vice principal.

If Yun Tianhe represented academics then Chen Bingyu represented martial arts!

Chen Bingyu was the youngest of the three heads at less than forty years old, but she also had a deep immeasurable cultivation base. She acted coldly all day just like a block of ice, giving off a cold feel to everyone around her.

She had been sitting there with her eyes closed as if this whole meeting did not matter to her at all.

Chen Bingyu slowly opened her eyes. When she opened her eyes, the temperature of the hall dropped several degrees.

Feng Yunhu was a little afraid of this woman and did not dare to make her do anything. He just asked in questioning voice, "What do you think vice principal Chen?"

Chen Bingyu was silent for two seconds and then she coldly said, "Alright!"

Yun Tianhe's head filled with a cold sweat!

It's over!

Chen Bingyu was nicknamed the Ice Queen. Just like the name states, she was just like ice and ruled with power like a king. Whenever Chen Bingyu did things, it was always straightforward, she did not like to waste time.

She was also the friend of the Divine Wind Marquis Feng Yuntian.

With the Divine Wind Marquis' recommendation, Chen Bingyu had become the vice principal!

In the entirety of Central State City, aside from the Divine Wind Marquis Feng Yuntian, no expert had a higher cultivation base. Even compared to Yun Tianhe, she would not be considered inferior at all.

If this woman wanted to take care of Qilin Hall, even Yun Tianhe could not stop her!

Chen Bingyu slowly stood up and turned to walk out the door.

Feng Yunhu's lips curled into a faint smile, "Senior Yun, with vice principal Chen's strength, do you still not believe in her? Just let her go!"

Feng Yunhu did not want to let Qilin Hall off!

Yun Tianhe left the conference room.

Yun Yao quickly rushed forward to catch up, "Grandfather, I received the latest news. The three great families want to make a move against Lu Ren..."

Yun Tianhe interrupted her, "First don't worry about that, the Qilin Hall is in a bad situation. Quickly tell the little mister that Chen Bingyu will be coming to cause trouble today!"

"What?"

Yun Yao felt like her head had been slammed by a hammer.

"Then aren't they finished!"

"I can't personally make a move, so quickly go and warn Chu Tian!" Yun Tianhe urgently said, "You have to be fast! If not, you won't make it! That woman is cold and fierce, she won't act unreasonably!"

Letting Chu Tian prepare himself!

He was in for big trouble!

Yun Yao rushed to the Qilin Hall.

When she saw Chu Tian sitting there cultivating, she directly went in and covered his head to say, "Close the training hall down for a few days to weather the storm!"

Chu Tian asked in a curious tone, "What happened!"

"Didn't you make me watch the three great families? The news now is that the three great families have sent out people and very likely will use force to destroy the training hall!"

Chu Tian had an uncaring face, "Don't we still have you?"

Yun Yao was still a 4th Awakened Soul Layer expert. Chu Tian did not believe that the people the three great families send would be stronger than Yun Yao.

Yun Yao had an anxious expression as she said, "I can block the three great family members for you, but there is someone shocking is also making a move. That person…..I can't stop! Even if grandfather came, he still could not stop them!"

"Old Yun can't stop them? Who is this powerful!"

"Nonsense! Have you ever heard of the Ice Queen? In Central City, she is an expert that is considered second to only the Divine Wind Marquis!"

Impossible!

He didn't have any grudges with her, why would she cause trouble for me?

The training hall had only been opened for a week, but it already encountered all this trouble. It truly was frustrating!

The members of the three great families did not matter, but this woman was hard to cope with. If she really did make a move, they would be unable to block it and the Qilin Hall might be destroyed!

"Closing the training hall is not a good plan. We can only hide for a while." Chu Tian eyes shined a few times, "I do have a plan that is a little risky, but we can still give it a try! If it works, the training hall will gain another layer of protection and we won't have to worry about these kinds of things again."

Yun Yao was speechless.

What did this fellow think about in his mind!

Does he even know how terrifying a person Chen Bingyu is!

Chapter 146: Chen Bingyu coming for a lecture

Chen Bingyu walked in front of Qilin Hall. Wearing a long black gown, a large hood, and a gauze covering her face, she restrained her aura making it so that no one could see that she was a True Soul expert.

There were several hundred students gathered around Qilin Hall's door.

"Selling notes!"

"Selling notes!"

"The newest notes here, being sold at only five hundred gold coins!"

Several smart youths were holding large piles of notebooks in their hands as they shouted outside the Qilin Hall doors. Immediately a large group of students encircled them.

"Give me one!"

"I also want one!"

"I want foundational alchemy two!"

"Give me a foundational array techniques three!"

The students rushing forward for the books were mostly in the Body Refinement Realm. So either because they couldn't meet the requirements of Qilin Hall, or because they were too poor to pay the tuition fees, they could only buy these notes.

"Humph!"

Chen Bingyu's brows knit and she revealed a bit of anger. What qualifications did Qilin Hall have to teach these students? This was clearly just misleading these children!

That girl Nangong Yun is being too unreasonable!

Feng Yunhu did not know that Chen Bingyu had a secret identity and was closely knit with the Nangong Family. Not many people knew about this relationship and it was not very convenient to reveal. Since Nangong Yun was a talent from the Nangong Family, Chen Bingyu had been secretly taken care of her from the beginning.

Before his daughter left, Nangong Yi had told Chu Tian that there was a high level person from the Nangong Family in the Central State Academy and he had been referring to Chen Bingyu.

Who would have thought that after Nangong Yun arrived at Central State Academy, other than visiting Chen Bingyu on the first day, she had never gone back to see Chen Bingyu again. She had been fighting everyday and causing trouble everywhere.

Now it was even worse.

She had actually created a training hall!

If it was anyone else, Chen Bingyu would have immediately destroyed the hall, but she had to give some face to Nangong Yun. While Chen Bingyu was deciding what to do, she suddenly saw a young man wearing a gold and white robe walk out of the training hall.

Who else would this be other than Yun Xiao?

"Public class!"

"Public class!"

"The hall has temporarily decided to give one public class! No matter whether one is a member or not, everyone will have a chance to listen in as long as they can pay the tuition fee!"

Public class? Then she might as well take a look!

Chen Bingyu suppressed her aura and even disguised herself. Anyone that saw this twenty-thirty year old woman would think that she was just a student. Who would have thought that she was the vice principal?

But Chen Bingyu was too beautiful!

If Central State Academy had such a beautiful girl, she would have been famous a long time ago!

But with a place like Qilin Hall where everyone has to learn, even if it was a beautiful girl, she would still have to line up!

When Chen Bingyu came in, she was sitting at the last row, but she didn't care about it at all. With her cultivation, even if it was a mosquito, she could still hear it clearly from this distance.

"Goddess!"

"Goddess Nangong is coming out!"

The male students cheered like wolves!

A red haired beautiful girl wearing a uniform came out. With her great stature and fiery aura, she looked incredibly beautiful. A girl shouldn't have a heroic bearing like this, but when everyone looked closer at her, they couldn't help feeling emotions swell up inside of them.

Nangong Yun paced back and forth as she looked over the hundred people here. Then she patronizingly said.

"I want to say that you guys are truly lucky!"

"To celebrate the first group of members recruited by our Qilin Hall, we will be holding a free public lesson today!"

Chen Bingyu felt unsatisfied in her heart.

How many times have to come to see me once you came to Central State Academy? Fighting all day to compete for territory with those hooligans for territory everyday and now you're even pretending to be a lecturer for these students. Why don't you measure how much you're worth and see that this is highly inappropriate?

Nangong Yun did not notice Chen Bingyu after all, there were too many people here. She still had an elder sister aura on as she spoke, "Recently I have heard some rumours. Everyone is saying that Qilin Hall is only broadcasting low level lectures and does not have the ability to take out high level lectures at all! Is this true?"

"Who!"

"Who dares speak such nonsense!"

Wang Meng loudly shouted, "I will beat up anyone that dares to slander our Qilin Hall!"

The crowd filled with righteous indignation and the wildness of Jianghu erupted out.

"Silence! Silence!" Nangong Yun stopped in her step and raised both hands. The entire crowd turned silent, "None of it matters! Since people are talking about this, I can't turn a blind eye to it! So, we will be broadcasting a high level lecture today! The goal is to let you realize that high level lectures is not just for anyone to study! If you want to learn it, you need the ability to do so!"

What?

High level lecture!

Everyone's eyes began to shine!

This was a lecture worth one hundred thousand to a million gold coins!

"Don't blame elder sister for not warning you. This kind of lecture is not something you can understand, so be sure to prepare your notebooks and take down every single word. Once this knowledge is taken away, it is enough to make a small fortune! Do you understand?"

Everyone firmly believed her.

They all pulled out notebooks and pens as they prepared to write.

Chen Bingyu was filled with disdain. A public class in a place like this can also claim to be a high level lecture? Isn't this a huge joke! But this miss will listen for a bit first and then I'll teach that Nangong girl a lesson.

"Yun Xiao! What are you hesitating for! Quickly bring out the equipment for this old lady!"

"Coming, I'm coming!"

Yun Xiao brought the phonograph into the training hall.

"Nothing left for you here!" Nangong Yun kicked out at him, "Scram!"

Yun Xiao cried as he left. Even if he was a playboy, in front of this elder sister, he could only act subserviently.

Nangong Yun carefully pulled out a little disc, "This class lasts for two hours and is named «Exploring and Understanding Water Essence Energy One». As the name suggests, it will be talking about the quality of elemental energy! We'll begin now."

What a joke!

It's actually talking about water essence energy?

Chen Bingyu practiced «Snow and Ice Transformation Art» which was a cultivation technique excavated from ancient ruins. It was very deep, profound, and related to water. Chen Bingyu could be considered a martial arts maniac, specializing in studying cultivation techniques and martial arts.

She was even more complex and profound!

A little Qilin Hall dared to talk about water essence energy, how could knowledge of this aspect be randomly spoken? If they mislead a student, it would cause them to be injured for a lifetime!

This point alone was enough to constitute a ban on this training hall.

"I won't waste your time with talk anymore!"

The disc was placed into the opening and Nangong Yun activated the array with her spirit energy. She raised the volume to the max and the disc began to slowly rotate. The sound sealed within was slowly released from the loudspeaker.

"Hello everyone."

"Today is the first class of «Exploring and Understanding Water Essence Energy»!"

Everyone opened their books and began to write. This was a lecture worth hundreds of gold coins and if they could bring it back to their families, it would be worth even more.

Chen Bingyu looked at the phonograph and revealed a shocked expression like someone seeing the phonograph for the first time. There was no one that wasn't amazed by this strange invention!

How could this cold device have the ability to speak?

This was truly unthinkable!

Chen Bingyu was a person that had seen the world. Although preserving sound was a very difficult task, there were still talismans and arrays that could accomplish this, but this kind of low grade convenient method was a first for the continent.

The invention of this phonograph did not have a small meaning.

"Water boils into gas and freezes into ice and is considered one of the most basic energies in this world!"

"The virtuous water nurtures a myriad of things and does not fight, but it does not mean that water is weak. A sea rising or a river declining is more than enough to destroy a kingdom. Then what is water essence energy..."

Chen Bingyu revealed a cold smile.

She really wanted to see what kind of profound theory could come from the Qilin Hall.

"Actually water and water energy are different concepts. Water is a substance and substances can have different energy, so it cannot be generalized. Water energy is characterized by how mobile, flexible, and pervasive it is..."

"So does that mean only water can contain water essence energy? Wrong, this is a giant error! Actually all things have some form of water energy. Water is just one of its carriers, but that does not mean it is the only carrier..."

Chen Bingyu knit her brows.

This lecture was actually getting more profound.

But it seems like it is only a little interesting.

"For example, a piece of gold. It is strong and compact, these are its characteristics, but after it is melted, it loses its strong and compact characteristics. Rather it is replaced with the wild and burning characteristics of fire essence energy, but it also becomes very fluid just like the characteristics of water essence energy. Even if its essence is gold, does that mean water and fire energy are incompatible with it? People often say that water and fire are incompatible, but that is actually wrong. Water and fire can exist at the same time and one can even create an even stronger cultivation technique or martial arts with this logic."

"But I digress from the main topic. Next I will go into depth on the topic of the lesson and will list a few simple cultivation techniques. From the nature of energy to the cultivation techniques, I hope this will be of help to everyone..."

When Chen Bingyu heard this, her brow began to tighten.

This view did seem like it could be developed.

It had actually made her lose herself in thought.

At this time, the voice coming from the phonograph began to list several cultivation techniques in detail, taking them apart and describing them in detail.

Going through the process from shallow to deep.

Chen Bingyu's face continued to change. From dignified, to surprised, to finally reaching...shock!

Profound! Wonderful!

Is this truly a class a broken training hall can give?

Once Chen Bingyu heard half of it, her entire philosophy had been subverted!

The marvels of water, the changes water had, and the intelligence of water were all being explained in detail. It was simple and to the point, powerful and restrained, but most importantly it was very concise. The water attributed cultivation techniques it mentioned was truly enlightening!

Everyone else just blankly listened to the lecture.

The knowledge was too profound for them. Although it was very well spoken, they could not understand it at all.

Chen Bingyu was not the same. A kind of unprecedented mysterious feeling enveloped her. The words the phonograph spoke were like needles piercing the shackles of her soul.. They cleared the clouds in the sky for her, giving her a feeling like she was looking at heaven.

This was the feeling like one was just scratching the surface.

Every point brought up only reached a certain point and it was deliberately stopped from going further.

It allowed Chen Bingyu grab onto something to realize that it was nothing at all. It was like cats scratching on her heart, simply excruciating!

The usually calm person that she almost couldn't help rushing onto the stage and shattering the phonograph, pulling out the person within, grabbing his neck as she asked all her questions!

Too inconceivable!

Numerous complex questions were all explained with ease, almost as if this was just basic knowledge to him.

While Chen Bingyu was filled with shock and excitement, she also felt a sense of loss. She was like a little ant staring into the heavens. In front of a real master, she did not even have the qualifications to become an apprentice!

I don't even understand the foundations!

What qualifications do I have to be pleased with myself?

The voice in the phonograph slowly said, "This class will end here. If you want to learn more, feel free to find out the broadcast time for the second class of «Exploring and Understanding Water Essence Energy»."

Over!

It ended like this!

The class had lasted a whole two hours, but it felt like a mere five minutes for Chen Bingyu.

Chen Bingyu realized that she didn't understand many parts of the lecture!

The people in the training hall put away their notebooks and stood up to leave.

"Freeze!" Chen Bingyu called out to stop someone, "Let me see your notebook."

That person held his notebook close to his chest and looked at her like she was a thief, "What are you doing? This is the fruit of my hard work, why should I let you see it! Do you know the value this notebook has on the outside?"

Chen Bingyu said, "You want money, right? Tell me how much and I'll buy it!"

"Screw your money! You have a lot of money? What's so great about money! Can this kind of wisdom be measured in money? You vulgar person! Pei!"

"You..."

"Move! Move!"

That person spat out a few times and called her crazy. Then he held his book and left as soon as possible.

If he knew that the person asking for his notebook was the vice principal of Central State Academy, he would be so scared that his soul would fly out of his body!

Chen Bingyu did not lose heart and looked for someone else.

"What are you doing?

"Who can you blame if you come to a lesson without a notebook?"

"Move out of my way! Stop wasting my time, I need to go back and study!"

"Move! Move! I won't give you my notebook!"

All the people here were juniors from large families.

They wanted to bring these precious notes home and allow their family's masters to unearth the knowledge hidden within. Then they could publish it in a major academic journal or newspaper, earning them fame and wealth.

It could be said.

Every Qilin Hall's class was like a golden ore, as long as one could understand the knowledge, they would be able to make back ten times their tuition fees. Of course they had to move quickly since they had to be faster than everyone else.

Only a fool would sell their notes!

Chapter 147: Killing with a borrowed knife

While the class was going on.

Chu Tian and Nangong Yun were discussing their plans for future development.

"Qilin Hall's revenue is quite good, but our development space is very limited. Our most important task is to pave the way for Miracle Commerce because Miracle Commerce is our foundation. We must not be enticed by the sweets in front of us and put the cart before the horse.

"I have contacted Jing Hao and they have successfully done what was needed. The first Magnetic Sound Tower has already been secretly built and they are preparing to build the second and third tower. Tong Xiaoyu has also finished designing the radio and they are being made in the Tianchen Commerce factories."

Some people could not compare to others!

I've accomplished nothing after coming to the Main City, but the boss has done all of this as soon as he arrived.

All kinds of layouts and all kinds of preparation all seemed random, but it was all planned out and precise. Without being aware of it, the path for Miracle Commerce had already been paved!

Chu Tian continued to say, "We already have a stock of phonographs prepared and as soon as Miracle Commerce comes over, we can immediately put it on the market."

"Have a lot of the phonographs already been made?" Nangong Yun was very interested, "No matter what, I will have to buy a few of them. They really are too easy to use!"

The phonograph was the perfect storage medium. In the future, it would be used in all kinds of places, especially music and art. It was also hard to imagine its effect on advertising.

Chu Tian nodded.

The lesson in the hall should be over now.

A Qilin Hall member came in, "Elder sister, there's someone here looking for you."

"I'm busy!" Nangong Yun impatiently said, "I won't see them! Make them scram!"

"But..." The Qilin Hall member was hesitant, "She is very determined as if she has to see you."

Nangong Yun was about to fly into a rage.

"Don't be anxious." Chu Tian waved his hand and said, "Go find Yun Xiao and let him see what is happening!"

"Yes!"

He quickly ran off to find Yun Xiao.

This was a woman wearing a black gauze over her face. Although one couldn't see her face, with just her aura and stature, it was easy to tell that this girl was high quality.

Yun Xiao was not interested in anything else, but he could not resist beautiful women like this!

When Yun Xiao saw the opposing side, his eyes immediately lit up and he quickly went forward to ask, "Hei, beautiful miss, is there anything you need help with? Let me introduce myself, I am Yun Xiao...That's right, I am the wild challenging demon and the cultivation master, defeating twenty experts of the Vermillion Bird Ranking in a single day! How about that? Don't you want to worship me?"

This black gauze women was naturally Chen Bingyu and she had completely forgotten about her original goal.

The charm of this Qilin Hall was too big.

No wonder the students were skipping classes!

Even Chen Bingyu was unable to resist this enticement!

She had no way of forgetting the knowledge she had learned from the lesson. She had already asked around and knew that this was a high level lesson. Outsiders had no right to listen to it and the only way to learn was to enter Qilin Hall!

"I want to join Qilin Hall!"

"Ah?!" Yun Xiao immediately knit his brows, "This…..This isn't easily done!"

Chen Bingyu was a little discontent, "Is there a problem?"

"Beautiful miss, I can help you with anything else, but this one matter will be a little difficult." Yun Xiao shook his head and said, "Our Qilin Hall has already recruited its first batch of members and are not recruiting anyone else anymore. So, beautiful miss, if you want to join us, you will have to wait for the next recruitment phase."

How could this be possible?

Chen Bingyu was already prepared to let go of her status to join Qilin Hall.

But this Qilin Hall actually would not give her face. This made Chen Bingyu quite unsatisfied.

"Since the rules are set by a person, then there is definitely a way to work around it. It doesn't matter if there is one more person or one less person, right? I'll give you ten times the entrance fee, how about that?"

"Beautiful miss, that isn't right. A person has to have their principles!" Yun Xiao revealed a righteous look and said, "These rules are set by a person, but it is not a normal person, so I do not dare to break these rules. So, I'm very sorry, but you'll still have to go back beautiful miss!"

Who?

Who was this person?

Chen Bingyu suddenly thought of something and her body shook as she said, "Is the person you're talking about the person who recorded the disc?"

Yun Xiao did not hide anything, "It is him."

Chen Bingyu felt like she had been struck by lightning.

In that moment.

She could not describe the feelings she felt!

Excitement, joy, and anxiety. She had never thought that the person who recorded the disc would actually be in Qilin Hall!

She had to join Qilin Hall!

It didn't matter what kind of price she had to pay!

Chen Bingyu anxiously said, "Call out Nangong Yun, I want to see her!"

"Elder sister is currently having a discussion and everyone knows of elder sister's temperament! If I go and disturb him now, he will definitely beat me up. Aren't you just making it so I'll be beaten up!" Yun Xiao was a little unhappy, "I say, even though you are a beautiful girl, you still can't be this willful!"

That person was in Qilin Hall right now!

That high and tall peak began to fluctuate and Chen Bingyu couldn't help trembling. She felt as if the air around her had suddenly gotten much heavier.

Yun Xiao's heart skipped a beat. Was this girl crazy?

"Then just wait a bit, I'll go have a try."

"No, no need to disturb him. I can wait for them to finish."

Chen Bingyu was afraid that by disturbing this expert she would be leaving a bad impression and that would be a terrible thing to happen.

What was she doing?

She really was a strange person!

This woman was a little crazy, but Yun Xiao did not think about it anymore.

"Since it's like this, then you can just wait here for now."

Chen Bingyu did not complain at all.

To have this kind of profound knowledge and skill, the opposing side would definitely be a grandmaster of the Southern Summer Country.

Chen Bingyu had already even visited that famous great scholar Gu Qianqiu before. Gu Qianqiu was a very knowledgeable person, but it was not enough to inspire worship from her.

The person that recorded the disc was the only person in Chen Bingyu's life that could inspire this kind of respect.

What kind of person would he be?

From the curriculum published by the training hall, it covered all the basic areas of production, cultivation techniques, martial arts, and etc. It could be said that this person was knowledgeable in every subject.

To have this kind of knowledge, it was impossible unless one had a super talent and several years of study. So the opposing side should be like Yun Tianhe, an old man of around one hundred years old.

Inside of Chen Bingyu's worship, there was also a strong admiration.

To acquire all this advanced knowledge, it was impossible for it to be done in a single day.

This was probably this person's life work and he was giving it all to the Qilin Hall students. He was letting them write papers with his knowledge and submitting them to the major academic institutes. He was giving them this knowledge and improving cultivation techniques and formulas, giving them all kinds of benefits.

Too noble! Too selfless!

Even though Chen Bingyu did not care for fame or fortune, she still would not be able to do this!

Dusk was approaching and the people of Qilin Hall and the students gradually began to leave. Chen Bingyu was still standing at the Qilin Hall entrance, just like a statue that would not move.

Chu Tian was sitting in the training hall and was feeling a bit anxious.

The people of Qilin Hall had all left.

Why was she still not coming?

While Chu Tian was feeling depressed, Yun Yao came in the door and looked over at Chu Tian. Her eyes were filled with a bit of anxiety.

Are they here?!

Chu Tian immediately asked Yun Xiao, "What about that person I asked you to meet?"

"Oh, do you mean that strange woman?" Yun Xiao revealed a helpless look, "She has waited for a whole afternoon and wouldn't leave no matter what I said! I have no ways of dealing with her!"

"Since she can wait a whole afternoon, that means she has good manners. Nangong, go and take a look! If her requests do not cross the line, then just agree to her, do you understand?"

"Alright!"

"We'll end things here. I'll go to the Jing Family and take a look at the Magnetic Sound Tower!"

Chu Tian walked beside Yun Yao and asked, "What happened?"

Yun Yao replied, "They're here! Leave now or you'll be in danger!"

Chu Tian gave a faint smile, "Not bad, not bad, the timing is quite good. Let's leave quickly!"

While Yun Yao escorted Chu Tian away.

Yun Xiao brought Nangong Yun into Qilin Hall and when she saw Chen Bingyu.

"Ah!"

Nangong Yun's eyes opened wide.

"Aunt Chen, why is it you?"

Yun Xiao looked at Nangong Yun and then he looked at the black gauzed woman. Does this woman really know elder sister? But that's really strange. This woman does not seem that old, so why is elder sister calling her this?

"When did you come?" Nangong Yun had an apologetic face as she came over, "You should have just told me!"

Chen Bingyu looked around a little nervously, "Wasn't that senior that recorded the disc with you?"

"Senior? What senior!" Nangong Yun realized who she was talking about and rolled her eyes. She grinned and said, "He already left!"

What? He's gone!

Chen Bingyu was filled with disappointment, but she quickly recovered, "Yun'er, there's something I want to discuss with you!"

"Say it!" Nangong Yun valiantly patted her chest, "Aunt Chen's matters are Nangong Yun's matters!"

"I want to join Qilin Hall?"

Nangong Yun almost jumped up!

Others did not know Chen Bingyu's status, but how could she not know?

Chen Bingyu was a friend of the Divine Wind Marquis and with his recommendation, she became the Central State Academy vice principal. Her status was around the same as Yun Tianhe, but Chen Bingyu was very low key and rarely shown herself, so not many students recognized her.

Chen Bingyu had been a Nangong Family consecrate for a long time and had deep ties with the Nangong Family. She was also very strong and an acknowledged expert of Central State City, perhaps only the Divine Wind Marquis could surpass her.

Such a powerful expert actually wanted to join Qilin Hall?

Nangong Yun was astonished and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She seemed very crude on the outside, but there was refinement in the crudeness. Everything she did was always calculated. She knew how profound Chen Bingyu's skills were and if she joined Qilin Hall, it would be hard for her to not be associated with Miracle Commerce.

If Chen Bingyu worked with Miracle Commerce, then the company would have a stronger standing in Central State!

Wasn't Chu Tian trying to transfer Miracle Commerce's base to Central State City?

He had already won over the Yun Family and now if Chen Bingyu was added it, the situation would be completely changed!

"Although Qilin Hall has already met our quota, Aunt Chen is not an outsider and I can bend the rules for you. You just relax, I'll go and talk to the boss, he will definitely let you join. Moreover, I will make you a high leveled member and give you the rights to listen to the high level lectures!"

Really?

This was great!

Chen Bingyu's worries finally disappeared!

Chen Bingyu said with an excited face, "Good! Then I'll just have to trouble you with this. I will definitely thank you in the future!"

"Hai, what is there to mention between us! Nangong Yun pulled on Chen Bingyu and said, "I'll take you in and have a look!"

"Alright!"

Chen Bingyu was feeling great.

The way Nangong Yun made her promise showed that she did not have a low position in Qilin Hall, so it was a 90% chance that she would be able to join.

This is great!

She had to listen to the entire curriculum!

After listening to a single Qilin Hall class, her heart was filled with impatience. She did not even want to wait a single day!

First she would tour the place with Nangong Yun. Chen Bingyu was very interested in the phonograph and the magnetic sound discs.

When the two of them entered Qilin Hall.

Chen Bing Yun's expression suddenly changed.

"This is bad!"

"There are spirit energy fluctuations!"

Before Nangong Yun could react, an explosion rang out and Qilin Hall was bathed in flames!

Several explosions rang out with shockwaves coming from the center of the hall.

This was not a big training hall, so how could it withstand this kind of explosions? The hall was split apart and collapsed upon itself.

"Damn!" Nangong Yun angrily said, "What bastard is responsible for this!"

Zhao Kun, Wang Meng, and the other Qilin Hall senior members ran out covered in dust. Everyone had injuries on their bodies, "This is bad! Someone launched a sneak attack! Not only have they stolen the phonograph and discs, they've also destroyed the training hall!"

Nangong Yun exploded with rage, "Bastard!"

Three-four human figures rushed out of the training hall and shot out in different directions!

"Stop them!"

Nangong Yun anxiously shouted.

Not only had these fellows destroyed the training hall, they had also stolen the phonograph and discs. Those were the core secrets of Qilin Hall and even Miracle Commerce!

These sneak attackers all had strong cultivation bases, each one being at the 3rd Awakened Soul Layer. If they were set on escaping, Nangong Yun had no way to stop them.

It was at this moment.

A terrifying cold flow with an overwhelming rage was released. It filled the entire world as if winter had come, filling everyone with a cold feeling!

That monstrous anger was like a volcano erupting!
