Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 62 Blue Court Library

"The Blue Academy is the highest institution of learning in Lanru Continent and even in Zhongzhou. I've heard that it houses the most exquisite techniques and magical instruments from ancient times. Nowadays, all the techniques of the academies on the continent originate from the Blue Academy," City Lord Tang said with longing. "Only outstanding disciples from each academy are eligible to enter the Blue Academy. Those with good fortune may even receive special inheritances. Rumor has it that these inheritances may even hold the opportunity to break through to the Heavenly Man Realm."

"So powerful?!" Qiu Ci was also a little surprised, but suddenly thought of the Immortal Alliance that almost dominated the Linyuan Continent. "Doesn't this mean that the Blue Academy is more powerful than the five major academies?"

"Power? Lanyuan isn't a power at all." City Lord Tang blurted out, then smiled as he thought of something. "Fellow Daoist Chu has misunderstood. Lanyuan isn't an academy. It's actually just a place of inheritance. Anyone who can enter Lanyuan and take anything out of it will own it."

Qiu Ci breathed a sigh of relief and immediately understood that, in general, Lanyuan was similar to the most comprehensive library on the continent.

"So I suggest you join Twin Star Academy," City Lord Tang continued. "I've heard that Twin Star Academy has the largest number of people who have had the opportunity to enter the Blue Academy. Furthermore, the current dean of Twin Star Academy once received an inheritance from the Blue Academy, and many of the academy's elders have also gained opportunities there."

"So that's how it is." Qiu Ci nodded.

"Besides, the Blue Academy is right inside the Twin Star Academy, so it's close at hand. With Fellow Daoist Chu's qualifications, he will definitely have a chance." City Lord Tang gave her a look that said, "I have confidence in you."

Wen Qi and Kang Chen on the side also nodded, and reminded him again when they thought of something.

"I heard that the assessments at Twin Star Academy are notoriously strict. Every year, tens of thousands of Jindan cultivators try to enter the academy, but only a few hundred remain. Every one of them is a rare genius."

"That's right. If you want to bring your junior Jindan disciples to join the academy, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult."

Is the enrollment rate so low? Qiu Ci suddenly thought of the college entrance examination.

"If Fellow Daoist Chu is so inclined, I do have a suggestion." Kang Chen thought of something and suggested, "In recent years, most of the Jindan cultivators who have entered Yuanhai City and are bound for Lanru Continent have come here to join the five major academies. Therefore, the city is full of businesses related to assessments. For example, the training tower was built to facilitate the entrance examinations for the Anti-Illumination Twin Star Academy."

"Right, the training tower! How could I have forgotten about this?" City Lord Tang slapped his thigh and nodded. "Fellow Daoist Chu, you can let those Jindan disciples enter the training tower to gain experience and familiarize themselves with the assessment methods. If they can successfully pass them, it will also increase their chances of success in future academy assessments."

It turned out that there was a place similar to the exam in the city. Qiu Ci was a little surprised and quickly agreed.

City Lord Tang didn't hesitate, agreeing on a specific time to enter the tower with her. After a few more casualties, they all went their separate ways. After all, even though they hadn't been injured during their journey through the Stormy Sea, they had lost a lot of spiritual energy, so it was time to rest up.

Qiu Ci also returned to the cave she rented. She didn't have much spiritual power left in her body, but fortunately she had a lot of spirit stones. When she was repairing the Beast City, the beasts dug so many spirit stones that she couldn't use them all, so she put the rest into the storage bag and achieved financial freedom directly.

She took out the spirit stone and meditated for a few cycles, and her spiritual power was fully restored. She also sent a message to Feng Ting and the other two about the training tower, and then took out the small light ball of the system.

"The system calls up the map of Lanru Continent."

【Good master! 】

The next moment, a light screen, visible only to her, popped up, displaying two maps. One was crude, with simple black lines and various stick figure-like markings. It was the same map Zhen Yi had bought at the street stall. The other was completely different, so detailed it looked like a real-life aerial view, complete with various colored auxiliary lines. It was even 3D, capable of being enlarged and stretched at any time. The latter map was the map of the continent scanned by the system after escaping from the Storm Sea.

"System, are you sure the base is located near this city?" She pointed to the circled area in the middle of the two maps.

"Yes, Master! But there's some kind of interference nearby, so we can't pinpoint the exact location of the base. We can only estimate it's within a 500-mile radius."

Qiu Ci looked carefully at the location that was specially circled. Whether it was the rough version or the detailed version of the map, a striking name was marked slightly to the left of the red circle - Twin Star Academy.

The base she was looking for was near Shuangxing Academy. It was a damn coincidence. This was also why she had asked City Lord Tang for information about the five major academies. Whether it was to find the base or for Feng Ting and the others' training, she had to go here.

Qiu Ci waited in the inn for another three days. The day she had agreed with City Lord Tang to enter the tower had arrived. She Kong Jing finally came out on the date. As she expected, nothing unexpected happened and his cultivation was completely consolidated.

"Not bad!" She looked into the other party's sea of consciousness and found that the Nascent Soul was intact and quite fat, so she immediately praised him.

"Thanks to the magic weapons of the senior, I was able to successfully form an infant." She Kong Jing respectfully saluted her. If it weren't for those magic weapons, he would not only die directly under the thunder, but also would not be able to form such a perfect infant.

"Don't be polite, it's my fault for not thinking it through." It was all the fault of the dog system. "By the way, don't call me senior, just call me Sister Xiao Ci like Feng Ting and the others." As a person in the Spirit Transformation Stage, that's all she could do in Lanru Continent.

"But..." Jing, who had social anxiety, frowned in embarrassment, but seeing that she insisted, he had no choice but to nod obediently.

"Okay, time is almost up, let's go to the training tower first." She waved to Feng Ting and Zhen Yi, and they headed towards the city center together.

Along the way, he also explained to them the academy and the purpose of letting them enter the tower. When they heard that it was a mock exam, their eyes lit up immediately and they all said that they would do well.

When they arrived, Qiu Ci immediately saw City Lord Tang standing there waiting, because his size was too conspicuous.

"Fellow Daoist Chu!" City Lord Tang waved at her from a distance and walked over quickly, "You're here."

"City Lord Tang." Qiu Ci greeted him, and Feng Ting and the other two also saluted with their fists.

"You're welcome!" City Lord Tang chuckled, took a closer look at the three people, paused slightly at the socially anxious Jing, and said with admiration, "These are the younger generations that Fellow Daoist Chu mentioned. They are indeed extraordinary talents."

"Thank you for troubling me this time, City Lord." Qiu Ci also replied politely.

"Master Chu, what are you talking about? It's just a simple labor." He didn't hesitate and pointed to the tall tower behind him. "This is the training tower. It has thirty-three levels of illusions. It was built by the Bizhen Pavilion exactly like the entrance examination tower of the Twin Star Academy. I have some connections with the Bizhen Pavilion, so it won't be a problem for you guys to enter the tower."
