My group members have a promising future

Chapter 78: Stacked Armor and Shield
-------
After Xu Zhuo looked through the school map, he went out to familiarize himself with the terrain.

The area here is not large, just equivalent to a small town, halfway up the mountain.

There is a spiritual pond not far away, but it is protected and no one is allowed to enter without permission.

The academy was bustling with people coming and going, and it was quite lively in these desolate mountains and wilderness, especially in the palace where lectures were given. When Xu Zhuo arrived, it seemed that the get out of class was just over, and hundreds of people walked out.

These people were all cultivators. In his eyes, various Qigong magnetic fields were intertwined. Most of the students who were leaving get out of class were at the fourth level of Qigong, while some of the teachers had condensed Qigong magnetic fields that stuck to their body surfaces, returning to their original simplicity and impossible to judge.

'They should be students who entered last year, but they have only practiced Qigong to the fourth level? Practicing is really difficult.'

Xu Zhuo felt sad in his heart. There were only one or two practitioners at the fifth stage of Qigong, and most of them were at the fourth stage. That was to say, they had practiced in the academy for a year and only reached the fourth stage of Qigong.

As for students with higher levels of cultivation, they either do not need to attend classes and can practice in their own rooms.

Or you can go out to gain experience, pan for gold in the wild, and earn resources for your own cultivation.

Or maybe it’s in another campus, not here. We need to continue observing to find out.

He observed quietly for a while, and then decided to go to the school history museum to learn about the situation of the spirit pool.

Mainly on the school forum, when people talk about Lingchi-related content, everyone says "go to the school history museum to check it out", and no kind-hearted person will post the specific details.

Xu Zhuo could only go to the school history museum by himself.

Heilonghe University has two campuses, one on the bank of Heilong River and the other one right here.

The founder, King Black River, left this continent hundreds of years ago and went to other continents.

As for where he went, or whether he was alive or dead, it is not recorded in the school history museum.

King Heihe is a cultivator at the King Level, surpassing the third great realm, the Soul Stealing Realm.

When he was in the Spiritual Realm, he once obtained spiritual objects from the spiritual pond on the top of the mountain here to improve his cultivation. This had a great influence on him, so when he founded the school, he used this place as a campus, and he also repaired and transformed the spiritual pond into a treasured place for cultivation.

As for the information of the other principals, Xu Zhuo just took a quick glance, because all of them were Soul-Snatching Realm cultivators, and none of them could compare to the founder, King Heihe.

The life story of King Heihe is basically about fighting somewhere and defeating certain enemies.

After a rough review, Xu Zhuo focused on the Qigong of Heihe Wang, the founder of the school.

The "Xuan Ji Si Qi Zhengong" created by King Heihe is a king-level Qigong that is more powerful than the upper-level Qigong. It also has various supporting secret techniques. If it is sold outside, it will definitely be sold at a sky-high price.

The inheritance of such a king-level Qigong is in the spirit pool, waiting for the right person.

The school history museum contains the name and time of every person who has inherited the king-level Qigong. From the founding of the school hundreds of years ago until last year, countless students have gone to Lingchi, but only ninety-three of them have inherited the "Xuan Ji Si Qi Zhengong".

However, others did not gain nothing, because the King of Black River and subsequent principals placed all the qigong they collected in the spirit pool.

There are three parts of king-level Qigong and dozens of parts of top-level Qigong.

As long as you meet the requirements, you can obtain the inheritance for free.

It looks pretty good, and they even give away the skills for free.

Xu Zhuo felt that this king-level Qigong inheritance belonged to him.

If he is not qualified, then no one else is qualified either. He is that confident.

Because he will cheat when he is not confident.

Next, he carefully read the introduction of the spirit pool, the precautions after entering, and the method of choosing inheritance.

……

After touring the university, Xu Zhuo returned to his residence, connected to the school network, and prepared to start choosing courses.

bang bang bang

"Xu Zhuo, are you there?"

Teng Yizhong's voice came from outside.

Xu Zhuo went to open the door and invited him in.

"Did you find your big brother?"

"I found it. He said that after I go to the Spirit Pond, he will take me to the wild to get familiar with it. Do you want to come with me?" Teng Yizhong invited enthusiastically, "The wild is very dangerous. It's safer to have my big brother with you to get familiar with it."

"Okay, but will it be too much trouble for your brother? I have only just reached the fifth level of Qigong." Xu Zhuo also planned to hang out with the locals who were familiar with the situation for a while, get to know the situation better, and then move freely.

"No trouble, your cultivation is good, and your speed is not slower than mine."

Teng Yi Zhong and Xu Zhuo were both from Pingcheng, and were from the same hometown. They had persisted together and went to the academy to receive rewards, so when his elder brother mentioned this matter, he thought of Xu Zhuo.

But he said that Xu Zhuo was not slower than him. Both of them knew it in their hearts but did not say it out loud.

Before, Teng Yi Zhong kept accelerating and tried his best, but he didn't get rid of Xu Zhuo at all. Instead, he was exhausted. It should be clear who is stronger and who is weaker.

"Oh, by the way, have you chosen your courses? If not, we can choose together," he suggested.

"You came while I was choosing. Come and see, what class should I choose?"

Xu Zhuo made way.

"Of course, it's to fill in the gaps and choose the areas you are not good at. You are very fast, so you don't need to take the Qigong courses on body movements and footwork."

Teng Yizhong looked at his screen and made his selections. "Protective Qigong, weapons, fists and palms... Do you want to choose protective Qigong? Have you ever practiced it?" "No, I haven't practiced anything else except body movements."

Xu Zhuo had only practiced one secret technique, Liuyun, which was more of a body movement technique.

Teng Yizhong complained: "You are really biased in your studies. No wonder you are so fast. Choose body protection qigong and weapons. Choose two courses first, one in the morning and one in the afternoon."

"can."

After choosing the courses, Teng Yizhong also logged into his account and selected the same courses. Then he didn't rush to leave. He chatted with Xu Zhuo and got to know each other's family situations.

Teng Yizhong said that he was from the Teng family in Nancheng, that is, the Teng family who was in the transportation business.

But don’t even mention the Teng family who is engaged in transportation. Xu Zhuo doesn’t know any of the Teng family.

In short, it is definitely true that Teng Yi Zhong is a young master.

But this guy has a good personality. When they went up the mountain before, he took the initiative to lead the way. When his elder brother took him out to gain experience, he also wanted to bring Xu Zhuo, a fellow villager, along.

Then talking about Xu Zhuo, Xu Zhuo briefly talked about his family situation.

"Is your family an ordinary family? Your parents' annual income does not exceed 300,000?" Teng Yizhong was surprised after hearing this.

Xu Zhuo asked back, "Why, you don't believe it?"

"No, man."

Teng Yizhong was a little confused. "It's not that I don't believe it, but a family like this... Let me make it clear that I don't mean to belittle you. I just want to know how you practiced to the fifth level of Qigong. Could it be that you have a girlfriend whose family is very rich?"

He looked at Xu Zhuo, especially his face, and nodded slightly, "Well, with your looks, it's not impossible. Is it good to be a gigolo?"

Depend on!
Why do you assume I'm a gigolo?
Even if he is living off a woman, he is not living off a woman, he is living off a good brother!

"I earn all my money myself." Xu Zhuo opened his personal account. "I usually write songs, and music companies come to buy the copyrights."

Teng Yizhong was shocked again, as if he had gotten to know Xu Zhuo all over again, "Not buddy, you're also an artist?"

Xu Zhuo waved his hand, "I wrote it for fun, it's not worth mentioning, it's just to make some money to buy cultivation resources."

"..."

Teng Yi Zhong was speechless, feeling that he was being played by Xu Zhuo.

“How do you make money from this?”

"It's very simple. Just sell the license to the music company and they will run it."

"Is it very profitable?" he asked curiously, as he had no idea about this aspect before.

"If it's just selling the copyright, it's average, but it can be sold as a package." Xu Zhuo gave some more powerful gossip.

"Package sale? What do you mean?"

Teng Yizhong indeed asked.

“It means selling it with the signature.”

Xu Zhuo paused for a moment, then continued, "Some singers, who have no inspiration or talent, will buy some songs from me and register them as their own, and then promote them as their own original creations, in order to create a better persona and attract more fans."

Teng Yizhong was stunned. "No, generally speaking, a work is the hard work of the creator, like a child. Why should you sell your identity as a creator to others?"

“Because they add money.”

Xu Zhuo gave the most righteous answer, "How can I practice without money? If I practice without money, you won't even see me here."

"..."

Teng Yizhong wanted to say something, but when he thought about Xu Zhuo's family conditions that he had just learned about, he opened his mouth and swallowed his words back.

Indeed, given Xu Zhuo's family conditions, where his annual income was less than his pocket money, how could they support him to practice Qigong to the fifth level? He had to find a way to make money himself.

"You make money like this to practice, brother. I feel like you'll be able to do great things in the future."

Teng Yizhong admired Xu Zhuo's determination and dedication to cultivation.

"Lend your auspicious words."

"Oh, by the way, which celebrity have you sold songs for?" Teng Yizhong changed the question and started gossiping.

"I can't tell you this. There's a confidentiality agreement and the penalty for breach of contract is very high."

Actually not.

This was just Xu Zhuo's excuse for adding more armor and shields to himself. Although it was very likely that he would not need it at all, it was better to be prepared.

Teng Yizhong didn't get the non-existent gossip he wanted, "Then I won't ask, let's go to class together tomorrow. I think the time we go to the Spirit Pond is probably scheduled for a week later. I asked my eldest brother before, and there are indeed a lot of people queuing up in front."

"It will be our turn, don't worry."

The two agreed to go to class together tomorrow, and then Teng Yizhong returned to his residence.

It was late at night and Xu Zhuo was alone, so he naturally opened the chat group.
