"Chu Ningxi's talent is extraordinary. She's currently at the fourth level of the Spirit Sea Realm. Within the inner courtyard, she can be considered to have a solid foundation!"
Ye Yuanjuan nodded and said, "As for Ling Tian... the Son of Heaven Faction values him greatly. Since he joined the Heavenly God Academy, he has never shown his face. I don't know what that Son of Heaven is thinking..."
"It seems he's quite valued!"
Qin Ning smiled faintly, "But that's fine. The urgent task now is my elder brother's injury. We'll talk after entering the Heavenly God Academy. As for those two... we'll take our time playing with them."
To be honest, Qin Ning wasn't interested in those two at all right now.
In his eyes, they weren't even considered opponents.
"But this time, Young Master is using a token to enter the Heavenly God Academy, so you'll have to become an outer courtyard disciple first. After that, Young Master's strength will definitely not be limited to the outer courtyard. So, Young Master will have to participate in the inner courtyard assessment!"
"Inner courtyard assessment?"
"Yes, this recruitment clearly distinguishes between the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard."
"The outer courtyard is simpler, but the inner courtyard requires an assessment, which is said to be held in... Mount Mingshan!"
"Mount Mingshan..."
Qin Ning smiled, "That's good too!"
Having said that, Qin Ning stepped out and left.
Ye Yuanjuan, however, was extremely worried.
Mount Mingshan is the largest mountain range in the Beiming Empire, dozens of times larger and deeper than the Lingyun Mountain Range.
In fact, the Lingyun Mountain Range can only be considered a tiny branch of Mount Mingshan.
Mount Mingshan is located in the northern part of the empire, conveniently close to the Heavenly God Academy.
When the Heavenly God Academy was built in the northeast of the Imperial Capital, half of it was adjacent to the Imperial Capital and the other half was near Mount Mingshan.
This was also the reason for choosing this location to build the Heavenly God Academy.
The Heavenly God Academy and the Beiming Empire have countless connections. These two places are like teeth and lips, so their location is very close to the Imperial Capital, occupying a northeastern corner.
Being adjacent to Mount Mingshan is for the purpose of cultivating disciples and students, making it convenient for disciples to train within the mountain range.
Even to this day, a part of the Heavenly God Academy's architecture has been built into Mount Mingshan.
After tens of thousands of years of accumulation, the influence of the Heavenly God Academy in the Beiming Empire is no less than that of the Beiming imperial family.
The only difference is that the Heavenly God Academy's purpose in establishing its sect was to cultivate outstanding disciples, not to dominate the Jiuyou Continent. Therefore, the Heavenly God Academy has always avoided internal conflicts.
Even the disciples cultivated and sent out of the Beiming Empire have all become legendary figures in the Jiuyou Continent.
"That kid Tian Qingshi knows how to do things better than Ming Yuan. Opening an academy is still easier than establishing an empire!"
Qin Ning mumbled with a smile.
Qin Ning returned to his room, feeling a little more relaxed.
Over the next few days, he confided in Xiao Qing, discussed cultivation with Xiao Fei, and was then bothered by the old man Jiang Rong.
Fortunately, Jiang Rong was a seventh-grade spirit alchemist of the Sacred Pill Pavilion, so he didn't stay too long. Three days later, Jiang Rong bid farewell and left.
But he left a message: "This old man will frequently visit the Beiming Empire in the future."
This made Sheng Dengfeng overjoyed, but gave Qin Ning a headache.
His fifth life was the renowned Jiuyuan Pill Emperor. He could talk to Jiang Rong once or twice about alchemy to show off and satisfy Jiang Rong's curiosity.
But too much would become boring.
It was like a Spirit Sea Realm martial artist facing a Nine Gates Realm martial artist; occasionally showing off their skills was fun, but doing it too often would become annoying and no longer enjoyable.
But Qin Ning didn't care much.
Because today, the Heavenly God Academy began its enrollment for external disciples!
Today, Sheng Xinyue and Ye Yuanyuan followed Qin Ning to the entrance of the Heavenly God Academy.
The Heavenly God Academy had two gates, East and West. The West Gate opened towards the Northern Underworld Empire, while the East Gate faced the Ming Mountain Range.
At this moment, the massive West Gate had nine roads, each a hundred meters wide, yet the number of people passing through was still countless.
Outside the West Gate, there were even more carriages, looking incredibly noble.
"It's really lively!"
After Qin Ning spoke, he walked towards the registration point.
The registration point was not for ordinary registration, but specifically for disciples holding external disciple tokens.
At this time, there weren't many people in line.
"Senior Sister Ye!"
At this moment, a disciple saw Ye Yuanyuan, his eyes lit up, and he hurried over.
"You are..."
"I am Lou Zhantian, in charge of this area!"
This young man looked plump, with a round, chubby face. When he smiled, it made people feel... not at all charming.
"Is Senior Sister Ye helping her family members enroll?" Lou Zhantian said fawningly.
It had to be said, beautiful women were welcomed wherever they went. Especially since it had just been rumored that Ye Yuanyuan possessed a Royal Physique.
A Royal Physique genius was equivalent to a Star Fate Realm expert, making people admire them, not to mention Ye Yuanyuan was also a beauty from the Imperial Capital.
"These Young Masters, Qin Ning and Qin Hai, have tokens to join the Heavenly God Academy and enter the outer courtyard!"
"Oh?"
Lou Zhantian looked at Qin Ning and Qin Hai, smiling, "Please present your tokens, both of you."
After they presented their tokens, Lou Zhantian examined them carefully and nodded.
"Alright, an attendant will be here to record your information and explain the academy's rules to both of you!"
Lou Zhantian was extremely polite.
Although he didn't know what relationship Qin Hai and Qin Ning had with Ye Yuanyuan, if Ye Yuanyuan personally brought them, they were certainly not ordinary.
Most importantly, being able to meet Ye Yuanyuan here and exchange a few words with her was enough to boast about to his roommates.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Just then, several voices rang out. Behind them, several people pushed their way to the front. Several guards looked solemn and disdainfully at everyone.
"This is the registration point for those with tokens, right? This is Miss Liu Yuanyuan of the Liu family, here's her token!"
The young man who spoke was dressed nobly, with an imposing aura: "Hurry up and complete the procedures. Our young lady is at the Spirit Sea Realm; she's entering the outer courtyard now to participate in the inner courtyard assessment!"
Hearing this, Lou Zhantian replied with disdain.
"Don't you see there are people in front?" Lou Zhantian snorted, "Wait until they're done before you come out here!"
He was about to say a few more words to Ye Yuanyuan when he was interrupted, which was truly annoying.
"Queue up?"
The young man pointed and laughed, "Didn't you bother to inquire? Do the descendants of our Liu family need to queue up to enter the Heavenly God Academy?"
"Brat, Miss Liu Yuanyuan's elder brother is Liu Kaiyuan, a Spirit Child of the Heavenly God Academy!"
What?
Lou Zhantian's expression immediately changed upon hearing this.
