Chapter 73 Inner Courtyard

After returning to Canlan Academy from the Weapon Refining Sect, I spent two days recuperating. The third day was the day to report to the inner courtyard of Canlan Academy.

"You brat, when you have a wife, don't say goodbye to your father. When you get to the inner courtyard, don't forget your teacher!" Ma Hualang stood at the gate of Canglan Academy, looking at Li Hanxue from a distance, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. Reluctance and expectation, but this is hidden deep and no one knows.

Li Hanxue waved to Mahualang and shouted: "Mahualang, you will always be my teacher."

"You brat, you dare to call me by my first name." Ma Hualang laughed, "Boy, remember this, don't bully others when you enter the inner courtyard, but don't be bullied by others. If someone bullies you, you can beat him. If you can't beat me, come back to me. I'll take it out on you! But you have to make it clear to me. If you can't beat someone else and come back to me, I will beat you first and then take it out on that person."

Li Hanxue smiled awkwardly and said, "I remember."

After bidding farewell to Ma Hualang, Li Hanxue, Su Xiaoya, Hua Liuyun, Zheng Wutong and Zhao Ning went to the inner courtyard of Canglan Academy.

The inner courtyard of Blue Academy is located in a large mountain in the Crimson Fire Province. Five people protected their bodies with zhenqi and ran for nearly half a month before they found the entrance to the mountain in the inner courtyard.

"According to the map given by the academy, it should be this mountain." Zhao Ning held the parchment map and checked the information.

Li Hanxue raised his eyes and saw mountains in front of him, with thick green shade. In this sea of ​​deep green, halfway up a mountain in an unknown distance, two huge blue beads were looming, sometimes hidden. Between the mountains, the word "blue" appears in front of everyone's eyes from time to time. What is faintly visible from the beads.

Su Xiaoya exclaimed: "What a big orb!"

"If I guessed correctly, this should be the Blue Pearl. The Blue Pearl is a treasure created by the senior masters of the inner courtyard with great magical powers. It can not only protect the inner courtyard from outsiders, but also change the environment in the inner courtyard. The vitality of heaven and earth makes it easier for warriors to absorb and transform, and their cultivation can be improved twice as fast as the outside world. If these two beads are blue beads, it means that the inner courtyard is in front," Zheng Wutong said.

Zheng Wutong, who was usually steady, started to get a little excited when he saw Cang Lanzhu. Zhao Ning even showed a look of joy on his face. Only Hua Liuyun remained expressionless and didn't speak as always. He occasionally glanced at Li Hanxue and Su Xiaoya with his eyes. After one glance, he looked away again and moved forward in silence.

Su Xiaoya said: "Brother Hanxue, let's leave quickly."

"Well, without further ado, you might as well get to the inner courtyard as soon as possible."

After walking for three hours, the five people came to a dense forest. In front of them was a stone wall, towering into the clouds and very majestic.

At this time, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the woods on the side. This was a young man wearing a blue gown. The young man had black hair shawl, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and there was a sense of majesty on his face.

The young man floated in the air, and after approaching the five people, he slowly landed, his eyes shining coldly: "Who are you?"

Seeing this, Zhao Ning hurriedly said: "We are students from Canlan College. We passed the selection of the inner college and reported to the inner college today."

The young man glanced at Zhao Ning, then glanced at the other four people. After a pause, he said, "My surname is Guo. I am the person responsible for picking you up this time. Come with me."

The young man walked quickly in front, and Li Hanxue and others followed behind, never leaving, crossing three mountains and crossing two canyons. The sun was already setting on the mountain, and the surrounding trees were densely covered. The breathing of the mysterious beast was like the wind, constantly ringing in his ears. The ground roared, and it was terrifying.

"Senior Brother Guo, where is this?" Zhao Ning asked doubtfully.

The young man looked straight ahead and said without blinking: "Death level!"

"Our destination is the inner courtyard. Why did Senior Brother Guo bring us here?" Zheng Wu said.

There was a hint of weirdness in the young man's eyes. He glanced at Zheng Wutong and said, "You are newcomers and do not understand the rules of the inner courtyard. Anyone who wants to enter the inner courtyard must not only pass the selection above, but also have to undergo a process before entering the inner courtyard. The test is to pass this death level.”

The young man pointed to the endless dense forest in front of him. The tall ancient trees were like dormant mysterious beasts. They were extremely eerie, and the cool breeze blowing through them was even more chilling.

"This death level has five levels in total. There is an energy barrier at the end of each level. Your task is to pass these five levels within a month by relying on your own strength. Only those who have passed it are qualified to stay in the inner courtyard. "No one who can't get through will be allowed to enter the inner courtyard." The young man raised his right hand and pointed at a few looming light spots in the blue beads, "Have you seen those lights? They are called blue flowers."

"Blue flower, what is that?" Zhao Ning said.

"You can understand it this way, it is your pass to enter the inner courtyard."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was confused.

The young man continued: "Each of you will have a blue flower in the academy, which represents that person's strength, luck and everything. As long as the flower exists in the blue bead, it means that this person is safe and sound. . On the contrary, if the Blue Flower wilts or even dies, it means that the person dies or loses his qualifications as a student in the inner courtyard. What you have to do is to ensure that the brilliance of the Blue Flower remains alive while passing the death level. , Only by ensuring that these two points are achieved at the same time can one be considered a qualified inner school student.”

Li Hanxue asked: "How can we make the light of the blue flower immortal?"

The young man smiled and said: "This is very simple. At the entrance to each level of the death level, there will be a strange white stone called the moon stone. You only need to put your true energy on the barrier to find your own moon stone, and then Inject your own true energy into it, and these moon stones will automatically pour the true energy into the blue flower through the energy array, and the true energy will nourish the blue flower, thus ensuring that the light of the blue flower will not be extinguished. "

"Then how do we know which blue flower ours is?" Su Xiaoya said.

"You try to communicate with the blue flower with your mind. It won't take long before you can connect with it."

The young man slapped the storage bag on his waist, and five white stones flew out and floated around him.

"This is the moon stone. Each of you will receive one. All you need to do is put the true energy into the moon stone."

The young man waved his hand, and five moon stones flew out quickly. Li Hanxue and others took the moon stones and poured their true energy into them.

The moment the zhenqi was injected, Li Hanxue felt that a white light spot in the blue bead formed a mysterious bond with him. Li Hanxue looked from a distance and saw that the light spot was in the shape of an ink-colored flower bone. With the blessing of zhenqi, Open slowly.

Su Xiaoya's blue flower is fiery red, just like the technique she practices, warm and lively.

The young man added: "Every time you pass through a level and inject true energy into the moonstone, the blue flower will bloom with one petal. After five petals bloom, it means you have successfully passed. Do you understand?"

"Understood."

"Let me remind you, there are more than five of you here this time, so you can take care of yourself." As soon as the young man finished speaking, the person disappeared.

At this time, night had fallen, and the five people slowly entered the death level.

Zhao Ning looked very vigilant and said cautiously: "There are many terrifying mysterious beasts lurking here. Let's not wander around now. It's not too late to wait until dawn before rushing on."

Zheng Wutong nodded and said: "Yes, this death level is extraordinary. Just the breath of the mysterious beast is very disturbing. The five of us must work together to pass the death level together."

At this time, Hua Liuyun, who had been silent all this time, turned around and said coldly: "Work together? I think it's enough for the four of you to work together."

Zhao Ning said in surprise: "Hua Liuyun, do you want to fight on your own? This is the death level. The entrance examination of the inner courtyard is by no means easy. Although you are strong, it may not be difficult to pass the death level alone. But there are companions around you. It’s better to be cared for than to be alone.”

"Companion?" Hua Liuyun glanced at Zhao Ning lightly and showed a cold smile: "When did I need a companion like you?"

"You..." Zhao Ning's eyes widened, and he was so angry that he didn't dare to explode.

Seeing this, Li Hanxue said: "Hua Liuyun, the civil war in the college is over. Regarding Xiaoya's matter, she said she didn't want to argue with you, so I will forgive you. Now that we are both students of Canlan College, we should unite as one Let’s talk about personal grudges after we get through this.”

Hua Liuyun snorted coldly: "Li Hanxue, don't be pretentious, I can't be with you. Losing at your hands is the shame of my life, and I, Hua Liuyun, will definitely get it back."

As soon as Hua Liuyun finished speaking, he disappeared into the night.
