"I can lend you the swordsmanship jade scroll of our familys Nine Paths True Words for six hours, and I can also give you 5,000 taels of gold! However, there is a condition: you absolutely cannot mention to anyone that I let you see the Nine Paths True Words, otherwise not only will I be in trouble, but you will also face the pursuit of the Wang family." Wang Yanfengs voice was extremely low.

  The Hong Jin Long Mai Dan cannot be bought with gold, and Wang Zuo Feng can only summon a few thousand taels of gold at most. So he threw out the "Nine True Words" as bait, which is a precious family heirloom of the Wang family, strictly forbidden to be passed on outside.

  Wang Yanfeng only showed Lin Ming the mental method chapter, without any martial techniques or skills. As long as Lin Ming didnt say anything, no one would be able to figure it out. Wang Yanfeng thought that Lin Ming wouldnt be foolish enough to leak it out and suffer the pursuit of the Wang family, so he took a risk.

  Of course, Wang Yanfeng estimated that Lin Mings innate talent was only average, and if he were to comprehend the six hours of the day, it wouldnt be too much.

  "Nine True Words"? Still can only see six hours? Lin Ming sneered in his heart, this condition, he couldnt care less. Compared to "Chaos Cauldron Scripture", "Nine True Words" was simply trash. "Sorry, not interested."

  Wang Yanfengs face turned red, "Lin Ming, think carefully! With your talent, even if you take the Red Golden Dragon Pill, its impossible to break through the third level of Body Refining. But if you cultivate a bit of the heart method from the Nine Paths True Words, your speed in condensing true yuan will greatly increase in the future, and the benefits will be boundless! This is my Wang familys secret recipe, worth millions of gold!"

  Lin Mingdao said: "The Seven Xuanwu Sect is not lacking in mental methods, and there are many that surpass the Nine Paths True Words. Why must I go see yours?"

  "Hmph, the Seven Xuanwu Sect indeed has a top-notch mental technique, but its top-notch mental technique is only passed down to core disciples. Do you know what core disciples are? Those are the true three-product sects designated disciples of the Seven Xuan Valley, and in the future, they will all go to the Seven Xuan Valley without exception. Even Tianzhong Sects Great Master Brother Ling Sen doesnt have a share, as far as I know, the Seven Xuanwu Sects core disciples are only a handful of people, aside from Qin Xunxuan, the rest arent even from Tianyun Country, they come from mysterious martial families. Do you think youll have hope? Dont dream on! Even I didnt dare to hold out hope!"

  The major sects have extremely strict control over the inheritance of their gongfa, as this is the foundation on which they exist. Even in the Seventh Xuanwu Academy, most disciples can only learn second-rate gongfa, and Wang Yanfengs words are all true.

  However, Lin Ming possessed the Chaotic Astral Fist Scripture. To say nothing of being the top cultivation method in the Seven Profound Valleys, even if it were a major sects core technique, he wouldnt be envious.

  "You may not have hope, but that doesnt mean I dont. Sorry, I have something else to attend to, Ill leave first."

  "You! Fine, youre good! You think that just because you won last time, youre really better than me? Wait and see, wait for me to take back what you took from me, wait for me to trample you underfoot. Do you also want to be selected as a core disciple? Dont make me laugh, Im just waiting to see how you become someone elses stepping stone. The higher you stand, the harder youll fall!"

  Lin Ming completely ignored Wang Yanfengs resentful curse, Wang Yanfeng had already been defeated by him. In Lin Mings mind, he could be inferior to others, he could be inferior to Zhu Yan, Qin Xunxian, and Ling Sen, but he absolutely would not allow himself to be surpassed by others. If one day, Lin Ming was surpassed by someone he had previously defeated, then he should really reflect on himself.

  At noon, Lin Ming moved all his belongings to the new residence. The Seventh Imperial Palace was vast and had enough space for each of the Earth Temples disciples to have their own independent room.

  Lin Mings house is located in a secluded area at the back of the mountain, with its back against the mountain wall and facing a deep pool. Next to the house stands an ancient tree that is hundreds of years old, its massive canopy completely covering the house, making it quiet and refreshing even in summer, making it an ideal place for cultivation.

  Lin Ming was very satisfied with this house, he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to read the contents of the jade slip.

  The Jade Manual begins with an introduction to the various systems of the Seven Mystical Martial Arts Academy, including rules and regulations, challenge rules, class schedules and training arrangements, etc., and later on, it includes rankings, rewards, and resources provided by the Seven Mystical Martial Arts Academy.

  Upon seeing this, Lin Mings interest was piqued. He had joined the Seven Profound Valleys to a large extent for these very resources.

  The seven Xuanwu Prefectures have many disciples, and personal rankings are achieved through the Wan Sha Array assessment.

  Hundreds of years ago, the Seven Mysteries Valley was founded by seven masters, one of whom excelled in formation techniques. Over the years, the formation techniques of the Seven Mysteries Valley have been passed down, and the assessment and training of disciples within the sect often require the use of illusionary formations and killing formations. As a subordinate martial arts institution of the Seven Mysteries Valley, the Seven Mysteries Martial Mansion naturally benefited from this as well.

  The ranking assessments phantom array is called the Wan Sha Array. Upon entering, one will encounter an endless stream of enemies, among which are ferocious beasts and humans.

  The final ranking is determined by the total number of enemies killed and their strength.

  Among these enemies, the weakest is equivalent to a martial artist of Second Heavy Body Cultivation. For every enemy killed at the level of Second Heavy Body Cultivation, one point is awarded; for killing an enemy at the peak of Second Heavy Body Cultivation, five points are awarded; for Third Heavy Body Cultivation, ten points are awarded; for the peak of Third Heavy Body Cultivation, fifty points are awarded; for Fourth Heavy Body Cultivation, a hundred points are awarded; and for the peak of Fourth Heavy Body Cultivation, five hundred points are awarded...

  As soon as I entered the Wan Sha Array, all the enemies I encountered were at the second level of Body Refining. As I progressed further, the levels of the enemies kept increasing, with third and fourth level Body Refiners emerging one after another, until the examiner died.

  The cumulative score before death is the final result, and the ranking stone will display the ranking.

  The higher the ranking, the more benefits you can get, such as Yuanyuan Dan. Those ranked after 200 can only receive one Yuanyuan Dan every three months, while those in the top ten can receive ten Yuanyuan Dan per month. Ten Yuanyuan Dan is equivalent to two thousand taels of gold, and even the young masters of large families cannot ignore such a generous reward.

  In fact, the聚元丹 is only secondary. After all, this thing can be bought with money, and there are many resources that cannot be bought even with money, such as inherited martial arts techniques. Those ranked two hundred or lower can only choose to learn a low-level inherited technique, while those ranked in the top ten can freely enter the Seven Mysteries Martial Mansions library of ancient texts, where they can pick and choose whatever techniques they want to learn.

  And ranked first, there is even a chance to learn the core skills of the Seventh Xuanwu Mansion, which can only be learned by core disciples. This is an extreme skill that not even the royal family and top families children in Tianyun Country have the opportunity to learn.

  Of course, Gongfa Lin Ming wasnt very interested in it, what he was interested in was cultivation resources.

  Qī Xuán Gǔ is a sect that excels in formation techniques. When Qī Xuán Wǔ Fǔ was first established, Qī Xuán Gǔ sent out pre-heavenly experts to set up many killing formations within the martial arts school for disciples to cultivate in. Cultivating in these killing formations yields twice the results with half the effort, but the number of formations is limited after all, and operating them requires a large amount of True Yuan Stones. Therefore, not just anyone can enter the killing formations to cultivate; the qualifications for entry are also determined by ranking.

  So in the Seventh Xuanwu Prefecture, ranking is extremely important. The higher ones rank, the more resources they enjoy, and the stronger they become. Conversely, the weaker ones become even weaker. All of the disciples here are geniuses, but only by trampling over others corpses can one possibly stand out.

  "I have officially entered the Seventh Xuanwu Prefecture, and to obtain sufficient resources, I must first get a ranking in the Wan Sha Array. However... my Mingyao symbol has not been created yet, and now I am intensifying my practice. It will probably take half a month to create the Mingyao symbol. To bring out the effects of the Hong Jin Long Mai Dan and the Jin She Chi Dan to the extreme, its worth spending this time."

  Lin Ming muttered to himself and once again became fully immersed in his cultivation of the Myriad Scripture...

  ……

  On the second day, Lin Ming got up early in the morning and washed up. Today was the day when the Seven Profound Martial House officially started classes.

  The classes do not teach kung fu, but rather the key to cultivation, basic knowledge and the way of nourishing ones body. In terms of foundational courses, the Seven Mystical Martial Arts Academy is very relaxed, offering seven or eight foundational courses. Disciples can choose to attend any course they are interested in, or even not attend at all if they wish.

  Todays course content has been introduced on Yu Jian, which is about the explanation of basic body techniques.

  Although Lin Ming inherited a set of top-notch skills, his understanding of basic knowledge was very limited. After all, he had not received orthodox martial arts education, so these courses were still very meaningful to him.

  The lecture was held at the Qi Xuan Wu Fus Lecture Martial Hall. When Lin Ming arrived at the Lecture Martial Hall, he found that it was already packed with people, roughly seventy or eighty in number.

  These people not only include the fifty-three new disciples who passed the assessment this time, but also some old disciples came to listen.

  The disciples of the Heavenly Mansion and the Earthly Hall add up to 230 people, while the Human Hall has nearly 400 disciples. In total, there are over 600 disciples, among whom several dozen have entered through connections. Of course, although they entered through connections, they themselves arent too bad either.

  Every martial artist who enters the Seventh Martial House can study for a maximum of five years. If they are not yet twenty-two years old after five years, they can apply to stay in school for another year, and then they must graduate.

  If ones ability is strong enough, they can also apply for early graduation. However, most students will choose to stay here for the full five years, after all, many resources cannot be found outside.

  Lin Ming entered the lecture hall and casually found a place to sit down. At this time, he discovered that several peoples gazes had drifted over intentionally or unintentionally.

  Lin Ming looked back at the past, and the other party revealed a friendly smile.

  Huh? Dont they know themselves?

  "Are you Lin Ming?" A young man wearing blue clothes and looking handsome smiled and asked.

  "Ah, may I ask who you are?"

  "Let me introduce myself, Im Lin Wu, and this is my sister Lin Fengyuan." The young man in blue said, pointing to a delicate-looking girl beside him.

  Lin Wu, Lin Fengyuan, its not easy...

  Lin Ming was slightly taken aback and asked, "Are you legitimate descendants of the Lin family from Qing Sang City?"

  Lin Wu smiled and said, "Thats right, were all one family."

  The Lin family in Qing Sang City is also considered a large family, although they have not been enfeoffed, but the family has been doing business for several generations, and their foundation is very rich. Such a big family, with some talented young men in the Seven Mysteries Martial Arts Academy is a normal thing, a few months ago Lin Ming borrowed the Qin Fu next door to listen to evidence, was let Lin Xiaodong borrow from them.
