Chapter 1331 - Picky Director

“Of course. When Bo Yan and the rest left, they specifically left behind a communication device for convenience. Once they meet with any situation, they will be able to rapidly send messages back. During this period of time, Long Ze and the rest have been taking turns guarding the transportation formation, so they definitely won’t get it wrong.” Elder Hua Feng glanced at Chu Liuyue weirdly. “Why did you ask?”

Chu Liuyue’s lips curved up slightly. “Nothing much. I just thought that the Flood-Desert Northern Region is so far away from the academy, so it must be inconvenient to send news back and forth. I was curious about it, so I asked.”

Elder Hua Feng laughed out loud. “Kid, it naturally seems like something incredible to you now. But if you learn Xuan formations from me, you will break through to become a strong warrior in the future, and all of this will be a piece of cake to you!”

Chu Liuyue was caught between laughter and tears. Elder Hua Feng is really rather stubborn about this. I really don’t know what kind of expression he would have if he knew that I broke through and became a King Xuan Master. 

When the other elders heard this, they all showed looks of understanding. So Hua Feng is going for this! 

Previously, they did hear some news about Chu Yue. Other than being a heavenly doctor, he also had talent as a warrior and Xuan Master. This was a well-acknowledged fact amongst the elders.

From this, it showed that Hua Feng really cared about this kid.

“The Heavenly Square Cauldron is one of the top ten holy weapons. There will definitely be a lot of people going to the Flood-Desert Northern Region this time. After we reach, there will definitely be an ugly battle,” an elder said with a low voice.

“Our first priority isn’t the Heavenly Square Cauldron, but if we have the chance… We naturally can’t miss it.”

“That’s right. Such an opportunity is very rare, so we must treasure it. I just don’t know… how the situation there is now.”

“I heard that quite a few top-tier aristocratic families had gone over today, and some of them are even our enemies. The Flood-Desert Northern Region is a very dangerous and harsh place. Perhaps some people might take the chance to attack us, so you must be careful.”

“Is there the Golden Wings Sect?” Speaking of this, the few elders silently glanced at Chu Liuyue.

Chu Liuyue’s eyelids twitched.

Elder Hua Feng said, “It doesn’t matter if they go. The Heavenly Square Cauldron is right there. Would they still care about the conflict with us? Previously, his disciple had already caused trouble at our academy entrance. It’s already very good if we don’t pursue the matter with them!”

Then, he couldn’t help but lower his voice and say to Chu Liuyue, “Kid, you must follow us closely later. Don’t go by yourself, do you understand?”

Chu Liuyue seriously nodded.

…

It was very far to go to the Flood-Desert Northern Region from Ling Xiao Academy. Even with the direct transportation formation, they still had to spend quite some time on the road.

Chu Liuyue spent most of the time cultivating silently by herself. She couldn’t absorb force here, so she started studying Xuan formations and medicinal formulas.

Ever since she broke through to become a King Xuan Master, when she went back to look at the complicated Xuan formations floating in her mind, she felt that they were much simpler.

She practiced those Xuan formations in her mind over and over again, quickly memorizing them.

As for the heavenly doctor aspect, although she had already memorized the formulas in the Physician Medicinal Guide, she still couldn’t break through as she didn’t have the time to try the formulas.

She could only properly study it when she had the time later.

“I didn’t expect to have the chance to see this transportation formation being activated when I’m alive.” After some time, the few elders saw that Chu Liuyue was mature and sensible, so they gradually relaxed.

One elder sighed emotionally and said, “This was built by the first director personally… Back then, in the entire God Residence Realm, almost nobody could fight with him! It’s a pity… It’s a pity… nobody can continue his legacy.”

Hearing this, Chu Liuyue—who was initially memorizing Xuan formations silently—opened her eyes curiously. “Elder, why is this so?”

One just had to think to know how amazingly talented Ling Xiao Academy’s first director was. Why would such a person not have a disciple to pass his legacy down? Wasn’t that too much of a pity?

Elder Hua Feng smiled helplessly and explained, “I heard that he was extremely picky. Although he had founded Ling Xiao Academy and accepted quite a few students, he wasn’t satisfied with any of them and left them all to other elders. Until his demise, he…”

As he spoke, Elder Hua Feng looked regretful. “The first director was truly a genius. He was an expert as a warrior, Xuan Master, heavenly doctor, and armory refinement master! He knew everything, and he was an elite in all of them! It’s normal for such a person to have high expectations. If there was a student who could continue his legacy back then, I believe the situation today would be greatly different. Back then, many of his precious secrets couldn’t be preserved as he left in a hurry, and his skills turned into nothing.”

Chu Liuyue nodded in understanding.

At one side, an elder lightly sighed. “Actually, there were many people who followed the director back then. If not, he wouldn’t have been able to establish Ling Xiao Academy. At that time, Ling Xiao Academy had recruited many talents. If the director was willing to teach them personally… they might’ve actually been absolute warriors. But…”

But that person was just too stubborn!

No meant no, and there was no basis for negotiation.

Thousands of people wanted to cultivate under him, but he refused, and nobody could do anything about it.

Elder Hua Feng shook his head. “Even though it’s regretful, mentors and disciples also go by destiny. If you force yourself to accept a disciple you don’t like, it won’t be good for either party. The director back then was a very carefree individual, and there was no need for him to do something he didn’t like.”

Many people felt that it was extremely pitiful that the first director didn’t leave his legacy behind, but Elder Hua Feng understood it very well.

Isn’t Wan Zheng like that too? All these years, if he didn’t see anyone that he fancied, he was bent on not going easy and didn’t accept any of them. Normally, he can give the students some lessons and guide them from time to time. But if he has to pour his heart out to teach everything he learned to one person… That won’t do—unless that person passes his requirements. A few years ago, one finally appeared with much difficulty but was intercepted. Now, with Chu Yue, he naturally doesn’t want to let go of him. Thinking of this, Elder Hua Feng instantly felt rather guilty. If Wan Zheng knows that I’m still eyeing Chu Yue even now, then… 

That elder nodded. “That’s true, but… The first director had especially shocking talent as a Xuan Master. It’s a true pity that all those amazing and strong Xuan formations were lost just like that. If I could have the chance to see them personally…”

“We’re already very lucky to be able to reactivate this Xuan formation. Let’s not think about others.”

Then, the few of them fell silent in unison.

Chu Liuyue also kept quiet and waited silently.

Time slowly trickled past. Finally, after the long torture, the few of them finally reached the Flood-Desert Northern Region!
