Meng Yan was completely stunned.

  How have you been?

  He certainly knew Ji Ning, who was the one who had saved his life. In Worry-Free Cave, he also saw Ji Ning and another youth being grandly welcomed in.

  "Don't you know your master's name is Ji Ning?" Meng Yan was somewhat hesitant, was it the same Ji Ning brother he knew?

  "My family's master is a formal disciple of the Black and White Academy." The white-robed, slender young man, Yunzhou, smiled. "Moreover, he entered the Black and White Academy for the first time and consecutively defeated many senior brothers and sisters, even defeating Master Wanjian's brothers and sisters one after another. Brother Mengyan, my family's master is inviting you to go; are you going?"

  "Go, of course go." The bald-headed man next to him urged repeatedly, while passing the sound to Meng Yan beside him, "Stone, your luck has come! That Ji Ning is a genius against the sky, and has successfully entered the Black and White Academy. Became a formal disciple. Formal disciples of the Black and White Academy all have ten servant quotas, it seems that this young man in front of us is one of them, that Ji Ning asked you to go over... may let you get one of the ten quotas."

  Meng Yan was startled by the transmission.

  The top 10 followers of the formal younger brother?

  Hei Bai Xue Gong is a place of that level, the strongest sect in the entire Anping County, and can be called a gathering place for a group of extraordinary geniuses! Even if it's just as an ordinary servant... having the opportunity to serve the academy diligently, one can still learn some top-notch aura-refining techniques. It's much better than becoming a disciple of Qian Chuan Sect.

  You should know that those super-large sects have multiple classifications, including outer disciples, inner disciples, true transmission disciples, and core disciples.

  The Hei Bai Academy has only two types of members: formal disciples and servants.

  Even if it's a servant, it's still enviable by all parties.

  "Can I also enter the Black and White Academy?" Meng Yan's mind was filled with all sorts of fancies.

  "Brother Meng Yan?" Yunzhou urged.

  "Ah!" Meng Yan nodded repeatedly. "Go, of course I'll go."

  **

  Black and White Academy.

  Yunzhou and Mengyan both transformed into flowing lights flying in the high sky.

  "Look, that is Beiming Peak. That's where my master Ji Ning resides." Yunzhou pointed to a distant elegant mountain peak.

  Meng Yan's mind was a bit distracted since he entered the main gate of Hei Bai Xue Gong, and he couldn't help but think that he had also entered Hei Bai Xue Gong. The Yunzhou beside him was indeed one of the top ten attendants.

  Wow.

  The two of them dived down from high altitude and soon landed outside the gate of the mansion. The two young guards at the gate also saluted respectfully.

  "The extremely rich heaven and earth aura." As soon as Meng Yan stepped into the mansion, he felt an incredibly rich heaven and earth aura. "The heaven and earth aura in Ancheng City was already rich enough. This mansion actually has a yuanqi gathering array, and it's running all the time."

  Meng Yan was somewhat constrained.

  Under Yunzhou's lead, walking along a corridor, they quickly passed through a door. Then, they saw the vast courtyard, where a beast-skin youth was sitting, with an extraordinary beauty standing beside him, waiting for orders.

  At this moment, the sky was almost completely dark, and the figure of the beast skin boy sitting there was vague.

  "Brother Ji Ning!" Meng Yan couldn't help but exclaim.

  "Rock!" Ji Ning also got up and walked over.

  Meng Yan was somewhat constrained and his heart was tense.

  This was no longer the Jin Ning who had come to pay respects with them, but a formal disciple of the number one sect in Anping County, the 'Black and White Academy'. And from what Yunzhou said... it seemed that Jin Ning was also very dazzling in the Black and White Academy.

  "Don't be nervous." Ji Ning smiled and asked, "Where are Meng Xun and Meng Jun?"

  "They both joined the sect." Meng Yan continued, "Both of them are in the early stages of Zi Fu, and it's not difficult for them to join a sect. They both joined the Qian Chuan Sect."

  Meng Yan's heart also hurt when he said this.

  At first he wanted to join Meng Xun in the same sect so much, unfortunately, his foundation was damaged and no sect wanted him.

  "Qianchuan Zong?" Ji Ning nodded lightly, "After I became a formal disciple of the Heibai Academy, I had ten slots for personal disciples. I don't know if you're willing to become one of my personal disciples."

  Meng Yan's eyes lit up instantly, and his body trembled slightly.

  "Agreed!" Meng Yan said repeatedly.

  "It's just a nominal servant. You and I are still brothers after all." Ji Ning smiled, "Right, if you have anything to ask, ask Bai Shu... the rules inside Hei Bai Academy are quite strict."

  "Mm." Meng Yan nodded heavily.

  What he feared was the lack of hope, and since he had already entered the Black and White Academy, a broad path to immortality had appeared before him. He would certainly continue to work hard and become stronger and stronger. As he walked higher and higher on the path to immortality, he whispered silently in his heart: "Xiao Xin, wait for me."

  Meng Yan looked at Ji Ning, his eyes reddening, and with a thud, he actually knelt down and kowtowed.

  "Rock!" Ji Ning hurriedly went to help.

  "Brother Ji Ning, you saved my life and showed me the way to immortality. I, Meng Yan, have no way to repay you. As long as you give the order, I will charge forward, no matter if it's a mountain of knives or a sea of fire." Meng Yan looked at Ji Ning.

  "Get up."

  Yunzhou muttered to himself beside him: "What kind of strength and talent does Ji Ning have? Where would he need your help?"

  "Yunlu." Ji Ning looked at Yunlu beside him and instructed, "Go arrange something, prepare a table of food, I'll have a good chat with Shi Tou." Compared to the other three servants, Ji Ning still had a better impression of Meng Yan.

  "Yes." Yunlu responded, and immediately retreated, feeling slightly dissatisfied as she left. "Another blockhead!" This Meng Yan had only just entered and noticed her for a moment, which made her doubt her own charm.

  ******

  The sun rises, and auspicious light envelops the entire Black and White Academy, everything is like a dream.

  Ji Ning stepped onto a boat, transformed into a flowing light and flew out of the North Ming Peak. Before long, he arrived above the mountain peak where his Master, Duanmushan's, abode was located.

  "Master." Ji Ning descended in front of the mansion gate and respectfully said.

  "Come in." The voice of Dian Cai Xianren came out.

  Ji Ning went in directly, and the servants at the door naturally wouldn't block him.

  Inside the hall.

  The black-robed, raven-haired Dian Cai Xianren sat cross-legged on the cloud bed, looking at Ji Ning with increasing satisfaction. Teaching a disciple with extremely high talent was very fulfilling, and Dian Cai Xianren asked in a gentle voice: "Ji Ning, how has your comprehension been over these three days?"

  "Your disciple has made considerable progress!" Ji Ning said respectfully.

  "Hmm." Dian Cai Xianren nodded slightly and narrowed his eyes, saying, "The previous Palm Teachings of Bihai have already told you about the great way of 'Sword Way'."

  Ji Ning nodded: "Yes."

  "Sword." Dian Cai Xianren said softly, "It is a killing tool, and it is also the reliance of our fellow cultivators to kill all obstacles on their way to the peak."

  "The way of the sword is a way of killing."

  "Jian Xian is also the most skilled at attacking and killing among cultivators." Dian Cai Xian Ren smiled as he looked at Ji Ning, "Do you know... what Jian Dao is?"

  Ji Ning was stunned.

  He shook his head in dismay, having just stepped into the threshold of this great path of swordsmanship. He hadn't even figured out what it was all about yet. The question 'what is swordsmanship' was one he really didn't know how to answer.

  "There are paths that are the profound and mysterious ways of heaven and earth. Such as your path of rainwater, path of cold ice, path of dark ice, etc.! All of which expound on the profundities of heaven and earth."

  Ji Ning nodded.

  These are all the subtleties of heaven and earth, how to apply the realization of these Tao is called technique.

  "Technique is the skill of application. Generally, what you use a sword to display is 'sword technique', and when sword technique reaches an extremely high level... it becomes the way of the sword! "Dian Cai Xianren looked at Ji Ning, "So, the way of the sword is actually a path of technique, a path of applying skill."

  Ji Ning was speechless.

  "It's not just about swordsmanship, but also about the way of Tai Chi. Tai Chi is also a skill that requires technique."

  "Taiji is also one of the Great Ways."

  "For example, if you have an epiphany about water and fire, you can then apply that epiphany through the 'Taiji' way, and its power will suddenly surge. "Dian Cai Xianren looked at Ji Ning, "And since you're on the path of the sword, you need to apply some epiphanies through the 'Sword Way'."

  Ji Ning nodded in understanding.

  Tai Chi? Kendo?

  What is the way of application?

  "No matter if it's Tai Chi or Swordsmanship, they are both extremely profound and incomprehensible 'Great Ways'. Extremely difficult to comprehend." Dian Cai Xian Ren sighed, "Like Swordsmanship, one must attain the heart of the sword. The Way of Tai Chi also requires attaining the heart of Tai Chi. Both are very difficult. But once you step onto such a great path, your future prospects will be boundless."

  Ji Ning nodded.

  "Remember!" Dian Cai Xianren looked at Ji Ning and said seriously, "As a sword immortal, one must have a sincere heart! Be true to the sword, be true to your heart, do you understand?"

  Ji Ning Zheng emphasized the importance of the head.

  "One must often reflect, wipe the sword heart, and not let the sword heart be dusty. It is necessary to know that only with utmost sincerity can one be enlightened!" Dian Cai Xianren looked at Ji Ning, "You must remember these few words firmly."

  "Yes, disciple remembers, absolutely dare not forget." Ji Ning replied.

  "Uh-huh."

  Diancai Xianren flipped his hand and took out a beast skin scroll, which he handed directly to Ji Ning. Ji Ning received it with some doubt.

  "For the past three days... I have carefully considered your performance in the previous battle at the Hall of Doctrine, and finally selected thirty-six secret sword techniques for you." The Immortal Palace said, "Later, you will go to the Dao Cang Hall and exchange all thirty-six books written on the beast skin scrolls."

  "Thirty-six volumes?" Ji Ning was taken aback, "Did you exchange it for something else?"

  Although I have entered the sword path and obtained two thousand black and white elixirs, what about the thirty-six secret sword techniques?

  "Don't worry, these are just Earthly and Heavenly Sword Techniques. And the ones I let you exchange for are all top-grade ones. Even if you exchange them all, it will only take 600 Black and White Pills." said Dian Cai Xianren.

  Ji Ning let out a sigh of relief.

  Six hundred yuan is indeed no pressure at all.

  "Although they are all earth-level and heavenly swordsmanship, and although they are all some sort of upper volume. However, at your current Purple Mansion level, the Wanxiang level is generally sufficient." said Dian Cai Xianren, "These are various types of swordsmanship, if placed in some small sects, it would be considered a sect-suppressing swordsmanship. You need to carefully comprehend each type of swordsmanship."

  "By studying the various sword techniques, you can also improve your understanding of the way of the sword." Dian Cai Xianren said with a smile, "Secondly, by reading and learning more, it is also a kind of accumulation, which will allow you to make faster progress in the future when you go out to fight for life and death, and achieve greater success."

  "Yes." Ji Ning replied.

  "Go, go to the Dao Cang Hall. From now on, you can come and ask me about your usual cultivation and contemplation doubts on the first day of every month." The palace's immortal said, "When I think that your foundation is really solid, you can leave the Hei Bai Xue Gong and venture out to temper yourself. Under the protection of elders, one cannot become a true immortal. Only through wind and rain, life and death tempering, can a powerful immortal who fears no three disasters or nine calamities be born."

  Ji Ning nodded: "Yes."
