In the bamboo house to the left of the Book - Collection Pavilion, there was a simple plaque that read "Training Hall".
Chen Qingyuan entered the Training Hall using the same method and arrived at a small space. Inside, there were various kinds of spiritual treasure Dao soldiers, engraved with special restrictions, and they couldn't be taken out.
Besides, there were special buttons in the space. One could choose puppets with different cultivation levels to fight against and enhance practical combat abilities. These puppets were made by a teacher in the school palace, and their strength in the same realm was top - notch and not to be underestimated.
"There are even puppets of the Tribulation - Crossing Period. This is incredible!" Chen Qingyuan stared at the sealed button in front of him, dumbfounded.
With his current cultivation level, he was not yet qualified to activate all the puppets. Only the button for the "Heaven - Spirit Realm" was lit.
"To be able to refine puppets of the Tribulation - Crossing Period, wouldn't that mean..." Chen Qingyuan stopped mid - sentence, his eyes full of shock.
The heritage of the Dao - Yi School Palace was truly unfathomable.
Next, Chen Qingyuan went to check the layouts of the other bamboo houses.
The Meditation Hall had special laws. If one's mind was restless, one could come here to stabilize one's Dao Heart. Regularly meditating in the Meditation Hall for a few hours was of great benefit to the Dao Heart and could even enhance the power of one's soul.
The Cultivation Hall was rich in spiritual energy and had an extremely strong defensive barrier, ensuring no distractions.
The Artifact - Refining Hall contained many precious ores and molds for weapons like swords.
Walking through all of them, Chen Qingyuan was truly astonished.
"This is what real wealth and power look like. I used to be too petty."
When Chen Qingyuan entered the Cultivation Hall, there was a transparent barrier below, through which he could clearly see an excellent - quality spiritual vein beneath. No wonder the spiritual energy in the hall was so pure.
Moreover, there was an extremely powerful Spirit - Gathering Array engraved in the hall, greatly increasing the speed at which cultivators could absorb spiritual energy.
"What about this place?" Finally, Chen Qingyuan entered the only three - story attic.
Finally, something seemed normal.
There were ordinary tea rooms and kitchens, as well as wardrobes and wooden beds.
Some flowers and plants were planted in the compartments inside the house, and from time to time, the fragrance of flowers wafted through.
"Even a pig living here could easily gain intelligence and embark on the path of cultivation." Chen Qingyuan sighed.
After resting for a few hours, Chen Qingyuan entered the Cultivation Hall and began to cultivate in seclusion.
Those highly - talented individuals selected from all over the Northern Wilderness were fighting in the secret assessment realm, and among them were many young prodigies of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Meanwhile, in the ancient pavilion by the lake.
Yu Chenran was sipping tea when an old man in purple walked over the water and directly sat in front of Yu Chenran. He took out a pot of fine wine and drank heartily.
The old man in purple was named Lin Wenchou. He held the same position as Yu Chenran, being a vice - dean of the Dao - Yi School Palace.
There were two vice - deans in total. They had been managing the Dao - Yi School Palace over the years, ensuring that there were no troubles in the school palace.
As for the dean, he had been missing for many years, with no one knowing his whereabouts.
"You old stick actually took an apprentice. How strange!"
Lin Wenchou liked drinking, while Yu Chenran liked tea. Sometimes they talked freely like good friends, and sometimes they fought like enemies at the slightest disagreement.
The relationship between the two of them couldn't be simply explained in a few words.
"None of your business," Yu Chenran retorted.
"What's the origin of this kid? Don't you want to tell me?"
Lin Wenchou didn't know about Xuanqing Sect for the time being.
"See for yourself!" Yu Chenran was too lazy to explain and took out a jade slip and threw it over.
The jade slip recorded most of Chen Qingyuan's matters, such as at what age he reached what cultivation realm and with whom he had fought.
It even recorded the Ghost Doctor and the Changgeng Sword Immortal.
Only the events in the Abyss hadn't been found out, and the rest were mostly correct.
"He actually formed a good relationship with the Changgeng Sword Immortal. This kid has extraordinary fortune!"
Lin Wenchou didn't care about the Ghost Doctor, who was just a doctor from a small place and not worthy of attention. However, when he saw the Changgeng Sword Immortal, Lin Wenchou was indeed shocked.
The Changgeng Sword Immortal was an outstanding figure ten thousand years ago, a bold and powerful person who dared to draw his sword and fight against the heavens.
It's no exaggeration to say that even if Lin Wenchou and Yu Chenran combined their strength, they probably couldn't defeat the Changgeng Sword Immortal at his peak.
"He is a descendant of Qingzong," Yu Chenran said in a flat tone.
"What did you say?" Hearing this, Lin Wenchou choked on his wine, stared in disbelief, suspecting he had heard wrong.
When he saw Yu Chenran's extremely serious eyes, Lin Wenchou couldn't have any doubts and murmured, "So that's why you, an old guy, suddenly took an apprentice."
"This child must not be in danger."
When Yu Chenran said this, his expression was solemn and left no room for doubt.
"The inheritor of Qingzong indeed cannot have any problems." Lin Wenchou's face became serious, and suddenly he thought of something, "This kid has been to the Abyss. What happened there?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
Yu Chenran also wanted to know about the situation in the Abyss, but unfortunately, there was nowhere to inquire. Could he go to the Abyss? That would be no different from courting death.
Ordinary people don't know how terrifying the forbidden area of the Abyss is, but as a high - level official of the Dao - Yi School Palace, he had some knowledge. According to legend, there lived a very powerful being who had lived for many years in the Abyss.
"This kid must have a secret if he could come out of the Abyss alive." Lin Wenchou frowned.
"I advise you, don't pry into some things. Be careful not to get into trouble."
Although Yu Chenran was also curious, he wouldn't deliberately investigate the information about the Abyss.
"I know. I'm not stupid," said Lin Wenchou, who was dressed in purple.
"You're not stupid? Hah." Yu Chenran gave him a look and sneered.
"If you have something to say, don't be sarcastic," Lin Wenchou got angry and pointed at Yu Chenran's nose.
"I'm in a bad mood right now. I have nothing to say to you. You're really an eyesore here. Hurry up and leave!"
When talking to his old acquaintance, Yu Chenran was very blunt.
"I just won't leave. Let's see what you can do to me." Lin Wenchou glared at him.
In Yunxi Residence, inside the Cultivation Hall.
Chen Qingyuan sat cross - legged in mid - air, took out the precious medicine given by the Ghost Doctor, and decided to further improve his cultivation.
Countless wisps of pure spiritual energy floated around Chen Qingyuan. Whenever he needed it, the spiritual energy would enter his body.
"The foundation is quite stable. It's time to make a step forward."
The supreme Dao bone in his body trembled slightly, causing Chen Qingyuan to feel the pain of his flesh and blood being torn.
He was refining the precious medicine and absorbing spiritual energy.
Chen Qingyuan's body was changing, and the aura he emitted was gradually changing as well.
