In the Dou Qi Continent, strength is paramount.
Yun Tianming, with his own strength, defeated seven elders, earning him a position in the Misty Cloud Sect second only to the Sect Master.
Appearing with Yun Yun as a pair, no one dared to voice any objections.
Happy times always pass quickly.
Immersed in the tenderness of love, Yun Tianming once thought it wouldn't be bad to live like this for a lifetime.
"Go, Tianming."
"Misty Cloud Sect and Jia Ma Empire are too small; the vast Dou Qi Continent is your stage."
"As long as you remember that home is here, that's enough."
Yun Yun, understanding the situation, did not try to keep him and instead personally escorted him down the mountain.
"Sister Yun'er, wait for my return!"
Yun Tianming gritted his teeth and resolutely turned around.
Indeed, the peaceful days were very comfortable, but Yun Tianming knew that the Dou Qi Continent was not a peaceful world.
Having eliminated Protector Wu, the Hall of Souls might not cause trouble for them in the short term, but that didn't mean the Hall of Souls would take it lying down.
According to the original plotline, in a few years, the Hall of Souls would secretly instigate wars among various empires, using the wars to harvest a large number of souls. By then, the Misty Cloud Sect would still have to face the threat of the Hall of Souls.
Therefore, he needed to stay vigilant. Only by continuously improving his strength would he be qualified to protect his peaceful life.
...
Jia Ma Sacred City.
Today, the Imperial Capital was more prosperous than ever.
The recruitment team from Jia Nan Academy arrived at the Imperial Capital to carry out their enrollment work.
The enrollment location was set at a commercial plaza of the Miteer Family.
"Everyone, please do not crowd, line up in an orderly manner."
In the spacious plaza, a sea of people and a cacophony of voices filled the air as countless young individuals eagerly signed up to participate in the Jia Nan Academy's test. If not for the Miteer Family members maintaining order at the scene, the excited crowd would have already rushed in heedlessly.
"Miss Ya Fei, this enrollment event owes much to your efforts."
In the shadow of a tent stood an intellectual woman in green, smiling gracefully. Her beautiful face bore a gentle smile, and her eyes, full of soft, flowing light, looked at the crowd with a warmth that felt like a clear stream quietly flowing through the heart, making people irresistibly captivated by her mature and lively charm.
The woman appeared to be slightly older than Ya Fei, with a voluptuous and exquisite figure that exuded a mature charm polished by time, a natural allure far beyond that of a young girl.
"Mentor Ruo Lin, you are too kind. The Miteer Family has been cooperating with Jia Nan Academy for many years, and we are naturally committed to doing our best."
Ya Fei, dressed in a palace robe, perfectly accentuated her voluptuous figure. Her fair face, a harmonious blend of youthfulness and maturity, radiated a natural charm that even surpassed Ruo Lin's.
"Miteer Rui, age 18, 1 Star Dou Practitioner, grade B!"
"Mu Jiaojiao, age 17, 2 Star Dou Practitioner, grade A!"
"Nalan Ye, age 19, 3 Star Dou Practitioner, grade A!"
"Yao Zhennan, age 16, 5 Star Dou Practitioner, grade S!"
"."
Ruo Lin looked at the data on the testing platform, nodding with a smile: "As expected of the Imperial Capital, the quality of new students here is much higher than in other cities."
Especially the children of the royal family and the three major families, all achieved excellent results.
This reminded Ruo Lin of the Xiao family member they had recruited in Wu Tan City three years ago.
"That rascal Xiao Yan, he said he'd take a two-year leave, and now it's almost three years and he still hasn't reported back. If he doesn't come soon, he'll be expelled from the school! Xun'er will be heartbroken."
Ruo Lin shook her head with a wry smile.
At this moment, she suddenly saw the crowd parting on its own, and a young boy in a moon-white robe walked through.
"Huh? Who is this person? To command such respect?"
Ruo Lin felt very curious.
"Tianming? Why are you here?"
Ya Fei's expression lit up with a beautiful smile as she quickly lifted her skirt and walked over to greet him.
"Oh?"
"Even Ya Fei favors him so much. Which influential family is he from?"
Ruo Lin was once again astonished. Only women understand women, and she knew very well that although Ya Fei appeared charming and approachable, she had a strong inner defense. It wasn't easy for ordinary people to win her over.
"Sister Ya Fei, I'm here to see you."
Yun Tianming chuckled and, in front of everyone, grabbed Ya Fei's hand and placed a pill in it.
"Fourth Grade Peak Pill: Three Lines Green Spirit Pill?"
"You... you really know how to trouble your sister~~"
Ya Fei was visibly excited. Her cultivation talent was quite limited, and in her twenties, she was still at the Dou Practitioner stage.
But recently, thanks to the pills Yun Tianming had given her, she had forcefully advanced from Dou Practitioner to the peak of Dou Master, just a step away from becoming a Dou Grandmaster.
"Why be polite with me? Besides, Ya Fei, you've helped me a lot too."
Yun Tianming had auctioned off some unneeded Qi Methods, Dou Techniques, and pills from Han Feng's Spatial Ring through the Miteer Family. With Ya Fei's skills, she not only fetched a satisfactory price but also waived the handling fees through her influence. Additionally, Yun Tianming had Ya Fei gather multiple sets of ingredients for the Spirit Fusion Pill for him.
Although he can't yet refine a Sixth Grade Pill, it is essential to start collecting the ingredients in advance. Moreover, the more, the better, because these pills are valuable both to him and to Queen Medusa.
"Miss Ya Fei, who is this...?"
Ruo Lin looked at him curiously, wondering which wealthy young master he was. It was truly enviable that he casually handed out a Fourth Grade Pill!
"Mentor Ruo Lin, let me introduce you. This is Yun Tianming, a disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect and the champion of the current Jia Ma Empire Alchemist competition!"
As Ya Fei spoke, her face was full of pride, as if she shared in his glory.
"Hello, Mentor Ruo Lin."
Yun Tianming smiled, vaguely recalling that her name should have appeared in the original story, probably as a minor character.
"So, you are a talented young member of the Misty Cloud Sect and an excellent Alchemist, Mr. Yun Tianming. It's an honor."
Ruo Lin's respect grew instantly upon hearing his name. She couldn't help but inwardly mock herself; she had initially planned to ask if he was there to enroll as a student, but now she realized that was absolutely impossible.
"Mentor Ruo Lin, there's no need to be so formal. Just call me Yun Tianming."
"I'd like to inquire about the details of entering Jia Nan Academy."
Yun Tianming took the initiative to start the conversation.
"Eh? Mr. Yun Tianming, are you planning to enroll?"
Ruo Lin blinked in surprise.
"Hmm?"
"Tianming, with your strength, you wouldn't be enrolling just to date schoolgirls, would you?"
Ya Fei gave him a subtle look.
"Sister Ya Fei why do you think that too?"
Yun Tianming was speechless, then explained, "Actually, I intend to apply for a Mentor position at Jia Nan Academy."
