Chapter 245: Chapter 31: Everyone Under Changchun Ascendant’s Sect Is Talented
...
The next day.
After a brief rest, Wang Shouzhe and others parted ways today to take separate actions.
Most other directions were led by Ancestor Xuanfu, who grandly guided everyone along.
As for Wang Shouzhe’s side, he was led to the Eternal Spring Valley by Wang Shouxin.
In name, he was considered an outer disciple under Changchun Ascendant, and had only cultivated the Qi Refining Chapter of the Eternal Spring True Technique. Now that his Spirit Platform Realm was stable, getting the Spirit Platform Chapter of the Eternal Spring True Technique had become a priority.
Less than half an hour had passed.
Wang Shouxin led him to a spot outside a mountain cove, and upon arrival, he cupped his hands apologetically and said, "Younger Brother Shouzhe, to avoid any misunderstandings, I won’t be escorting you inside. Those under Changchun Zhenren have good tempers; a little inquiry will lead you to the Dao Transmission Hall."
Avoid misunderstandings?
Wang Shouzhe was slightly surprised but didn’t delve into it further, and returned the courtesy, "Thank you, Brother Shouxin."
Then, Wang Shouxin added, "Remember one more thing. At the Academy, regardless of background, Shouzhe, do not disclose your family background casually. Firstly, because the Academy forbids it. Secondly, to prevent family entanglements from any conflicts among students."
Wang Shouzhe had heard about this before. If you wish, you can even change your name. However, changing names is unnecessary and insignificant.
He immediately cupped his hands and said, "Brother Shouxin, I understand."
With that, the two bid farewell.
Wang Shouzhe entered the Eternal Spring Valley, and instantly, his view expanded.
This vast gorge was filled with sunlight that was bright yet not scorching.
Vegetation formed forests, lush and green, with exotic flowers swaying in the fields.
Groups of tamed Spirit Bees flitted among Spirit Flowers, collecting Spiritual Honey and spreading pollen, creating a scene filled with the sounds and scents of nature.
What a picturesque farming scene.
No, to be precise, it was an immortal farming scene.
Upon entering this valley, one felt vibrant and alive everywhere, with even the air feeling exceptionally fresh and smooth.
It’s said that this Eternal Spring Valley is seated atop a top-tier Wood Spiritual Vein. Therefore, living here for a long time has the effect of prolonging life and preventing diseases.
The disciples of Eternal Spring Valley were numerous, but each was busy with their own tasks, scattered across the fields, diligently working away. They were cultivating various Spirit Plants, Spirit Fruits, Spirit Flowers, and Spirit Grass.
Not far away, there was an old farmer in the fields.
His beard was white, wearing a bamboo hat, carefully weeding between the Spirit Fields.
Wang Shouzhe approached, cupped his hands, and said, "Esteemed teacher, may I ask the way to our Eternal Spring Valley’s Dao Transmission Hall?"
The old man glanced at Wang Shouzhe, chuckled, and said, "Young man, what are you looking for the Dao Transmission Hall for?"
Wang Shouzhe replied politely, "I am an outer disciple of Eternal Spring Valley, having cultivated to the Spirit Platform Realm. I’m here as per the rules to take the assessment and receive the Spirit Platform Chapter of the Eternal Spring True Technique."
As he spoke, he made a gesture, and a small wine gourd appeared in his hand, filled with several pounds of fine Spirit Wine.
He handed it to the old farmer and said, "Please, teacher, guide me."
The old man’s eyes lit up, he opened the wine gourd and took a swig, contently exhaling, "The wine is quite ordinary. But you, young man, are pretty savvy for your age, just to my liking." With that, he casually gave him directions.
After bidding farewell to the old farmer.
Wang Shouzhe followed the paths between the fields, crossing mountain streams, the Spiritual Peach Blossom Forest, Spirit Fish Pond, and so on.
After walking for half an hour, he finally reached the place the old farmer described.
This journey also allowed him to appreciate the extraordinary qualities of the Eternal Spring Valley; truly, there were Spirit Fields every three steps, with Spirit Seeds in sight everywhere.
In front of him.
Loomed an ancient and massive hall, fitting the style of the Eternal Spring Valley.
Even within its wooden corridor structure, there was lush greenery, adorned with some beautiful exotic flowers.
Above the main door of the hall, there was a large plaque, amid the vibrant flowers, vaguely revealing three large gilded characters—[Dao Transmission Hall].
"Looks like this is the place," Wang Shouzhe thought to himself.
Then, he tidied his attire and took out a mirror for a final check.
Ah, still as handsome and elegant as ever, like a jade tree in the wind. Now he was at ease.
Subsequently, he also checked the Storage Ring, filled with prepared gifts. Everything of different styles and tastes was ready to be taken out at any moment.
This is what it means to come prepared.
He had prepared multiple plans.
Even if the Senior Brother Steward of the Dao Transmission Hall intended to make things difficult, Wang Shouzhe could handle it with his skills.
"Ah~" Adults acting so responsibly.
Contemplating this, Wang Shouzhe gracefully stepped into the grand door of the Dao Transmission Hall, first glancing around.
"Oh?"
The scene inside the Dao Transmission Hall was entirely different from what he had imagined.
In his imagination, the place of imparting and transmitting knowledge ought to be dignified and grand, calm and poised, filled with a scholarly atmosphere and a sense of historical significance.
Unexpectedly.
The place was full of a pastoral style, with square boxes made of wooden boards, neatly arranged, filled with various soils, growing all kinds of crops.
Additionally, there were various small arrays, creating and simulating different temperature changes and lighting scenarios.
Near each indoor "field ridge," there would be one or two disciples dressed in Eternal Spring Valley attire, enthusiastically discussing.
Alternatively, there was someone squatting down, intently observing a plant, focused with utmost concentration.
