Mortal Cultivation

Chapter 74

74 A Research Into Wang Wei’s Technique [II]

The sect gate was made of wood and was also painted with vermilion lacquer. On each door were neatly lined with several rows of large brass nails, showing the style of the famous courtyard. Above the middle gate hung a huge plaque with two golden words of “Xuanbing Academy” written in bold, vigorous and powerful style.

At this time, only the pair of side doors next to the three pairs of sect gates were open, and two disciples on duty stood on both sides of the gate. Wearing the exquisite black ice bird pattern sect robe of Xuanbing Academy, she looks very spiritual.

Master Buwenle didn’t say hello to the two of them, and walked in straight with his legs raised. The two disciples were also disciples who had been cultivating in the academy for many years, and of course they recognized master “Bule”. Knowing that it was master Bule,who didn’t have a good reputation in the sect, he didn’t take him seriously, and he didn’t even greet him.

Master Buwenle had long been used to the attitude of others towards him, and he didn’t care. He entered the sect gate and walked straight towards the central area of ??the academy.

In the center of the square inside the sect gate, there was a huge statue of a black ice bird about to fly. The Xuanbing Bird looked and felt a bit like a phoenix, with a crown of feathers erected high on its head, which looked noble and elegant. The long tail feathers were thrown behind him, showing a streamlined beauty. A piece of ice and snow drifted away behind him. The carving is fine and beautiful.

The statue is carved from white marble. It highlights the dignity and arrogance of Xuanbing Bird. That wass a kind of arrogance above all birds. According to legend, this Xuanbing bird was the holy beast summoned by the first grand elder of Xuanbing Academy. The name of Xuanbing Academy was also due to this holy beast.

Xuanbing sect covered an extremely wide area, with a length and width of about six or seven kilometers. There were gates on all four sides in the south, east, and west, but only the east gate was the main gate of the sect. That was the door where master Bule came in.

The number of disciples in the academy exceeded ten thousand, and they study and cultivate in the teaching areas designated by the academy according to ten different magical attributes. However, the east gate was the eleventh teaching area, and it was also the place where disciples who have cultivated at the first-level spiritual level after entering the sect duly learn basic knowledge.

When the cultivation base breaks through to the savant level, the disciples wouldl be assigned to the corresponding teaching area according to different spiritual power attributes to continue to practice until the cultivation base reached the fourth-level great spiritual master level, and they could then advance from the sect.

.....

Every academy on the Sacred Spirit Continent basically had the bottom line for completions as a fourth-level Spirit Stellar. As long as one could reach the fourth-level cultivation, no matter how old one was, one would be able to get an advanced crest immediately.

Therefore, the age of the excelling disciples varies greatly. Some would be in their teens, and some were tens of years older. But there were some who continued to practice in the academy after graduation, and they were not few in number. These spiritual masters were also the main force sent by the academy to fight against the demons.

It was precisely because of this teaching method that the academy was mixed in the nature of their disciples. If anyone wanted to judge someone’s cultivation in the academy by age, then the possibility of this person suffering a big loss was quite strong.

Bu Wenler walked through the classrooms and dormitory buildings in the Lingshi teaching area and moved towards the central area of ??the sect. Some public facilities of the sect were concentrated in the central area. Such as the library, arena, trading center and so on.

He came all the way to the library of Xuanbing sect. The library was a traditional wooden building. From a distance, one could see a huge gabled roof. The roof was covered with gray tiles, and there were occasional green moss hidden in it, which made the color of the whole roof elegant and soft.

In the middle of the roof was a green ridge inlaid with small blue tiles, which was radiant under the illumination of Chi Lingxing. The slope of the roof was soothing and smooth, and the corners were simple, adding a sense of stretch and generosity, which was very fresh and elegant.

A circle of corridors was formed under the eaves, all supported by huge red lacquered logs. The doors and windows on all four sides were lightly carved from gray-black iron wood, and were elegantly decorated without any paint. Above the main entrance hung a plaque of golden colour, with one big word “Library” written on it.

The whole architectural style did not triumph in richness and luxury, but was known for its lightness and elegance, showing a kind of refined style.

Bu Wenle pushed open the door and entered. There was a lot of space in the library, and there were many people reading books, but it was very quiet. It was divided into different areas according to the type of book. Bu Wenle went directly to the “Historical Materials” area and started searching.

There were a lot of books in this area. It was a collection of various historical materials and biography of spiritual masters collected by masters and disciples from all walks of life through different channels, from the whole continent since the establishment of the sect for twenty thousand years. The contents were so rich that if any disciple wanted to read them all, it was impossible to achieve it without spending hundreds of years.

Because of the huge collection of books, Bu Wenle was not sure that he would be able to find the answers he wanted in a short time, so he made arrangements in advance with the branch.

After picking more than a dozen materials from the bookshelf, Bu Wenle found a seat by himself and sat down, and then carefully began to search.
