60: Chapter 60 Meifeng Mountain Martial Academy: Seeking Further Improvement

Before long, Liu Weihe had already walked to the East Gate of Yingyang Pass.

Liu Shengyong's family had all moved here.

Their status had fallen from City Lord to ordinary commoners.

To be able to maintain this level of living was already extremely lucky.

But how could Liu Weihe accept this?

From the moment the news arrived from Qianqiu Mountain, his treatment as the City Lord's Second Young Master plummeted instantly.

His talent was actually quite good, but in truth, it didn't match his current treatment.

Without the status of the City Lord's son, Liu Weihe could only receive the treatment he deserved.

At the same time, Liu Weihe saw Liu Shengyong and immediately began questioning his father.

Now, his father not only lacked the status of City Lord, but even his strength was inferior to his own.

Liu Weihe no longer needed to respect him as he had before.

Liu Weihe's questioning and rebuking were all about why he had tried to deal with that mysterious powerhouse.

Liu Weihe had once been saved by that mysterious powerhouse.

Had it not been for the terrible things his father did, Liu Weihe believed he would have obtained a supreme opportunity!

But now, he feared that mysterious powerhouse would hate him even more.

He had clearly saved him and his father.

Yet Liu Shengyong, as the City Lord, had even conspired with the Imperial Court forces to plot behind his back.

Thinking from another perspective, if the Liu family encountered such a situation, they would also be filled with resentment.

The argument and dispute between the two caused a stir throughout Yingyang Pass.

But in fact, no matter what, Liu Weihe would not have gained any fortuitous encounter.

However, if his father hadn't done such an ungrateful thing, their Liu family would still be in the City Lord's Manor.

Meanwhile, Li Yuan had already begun packing his bags, preparing to head to Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy.

His fellow comrades-in-arms, learning that Li Yuan had met that mysterious powerhouse, were all filled with envy.

In the days to come, Li Yuan could leave the Military Camp and embark on the path of the Martial Dao.

Of course, for now, everyone's envy was still within reason.

Yingyang Pass would be peaceful for a long time and wouldn't be as dangerous as before, so being a soldier was actually quite good.

While he was packing, Wang Jiuxing personally paid another visit.

He came to remind Li Yuan that he still needed to be as secretive and careful as possible after leaving the Military Camp.

Ruan Xingqiao from Qianqiu Mountain was a young person who rarely listened to advice.

Although he had warned her very explicitly, Ruan Xingqiao might still act impulsively.

Li Yuan nodded in agreement.

At nightfall, Li Yuan set off under the cover of darkness towards Meifeng Mountain.

Once no one was watching, Li Yuan no longer hid his presence and directly used his full range of abilities.

Using his full Ninth-Grade strength, he could reach Meifeng Mountain in at most two days.

On the way, Li Yuan calculated the potential dangers he might encounter.

The Blood Qi Tracking Method could potentially find him.

But with his current strength, it wouldn't matter even if he were tracked.

Even if he were targeted by a Ninth-Grade Martial Artist, as long as he wanted to save his life, no one could keep him there.

Perhaps what he needed to be slightly wary of were the various defensive Magical Artifacts of Meifeng Mountain.

Places with such deep foundations usually had many defensive Magical Artifacts installed.

Any Forbidden Ground or Secret Realm would subject intruders to attacks from Magical Artifacts.

As a Ninth-Grade Supreme represents the peak strength of Martial Artists in this world, most Magical Artifacts are useless against a Ninth-Grade.

But the Magical Artifacts installed in precious lands might be different.

When setting up Magical Artifacts, the first thought was likely to be able to deal with a Ninth-Grade.

Otherwise, if a Ninth-Grade could come and go as they pleased, how could a Forbidden Ground deserve the word 'Forbidden'?

Li Yuan was clear in his mind that after reaching Meifeng Mountain, he should first gather information.

Acting recklessly relying on his own strength might instead cause some trouble.

Two nights later, Li Yuan arrived near Meifeng Mountain.

Because of the presence of Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy, the city near Meifeng Mountain was very prosperous.

Compared to Yingyang Pass City, it was roughly three times larger.

Li Yuan stayed in the city temporarily, preparing to go to the Martial Arts Academy after daybreak tomorrow.

The next day during the Hour of the Snake, Li Yuan finished packing and set off for Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy.

In fact, the entire area of Meifeng Mountain belonged to Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy.

The Martial Arts Academy was the administrator of this region.

Therefore, no walls could be seen marking out the boundaries of the academy.

Carrying Wang Jiuxing's recommendation letter, Li Yuan walked toward the heart of Meifeng Mountain.

There were quite a few people on the road.

Even though one only had a chance to enter Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy with a recommendation, there were surprisingly many people coming and going.

It seemed that nowadays, quite a few people were able to get recommendations.

The walk wasn't far; after a leisurely walk of about fifteen minutes, he arrived in front of a palace.

Entering the palace, there were dedicated staff members to receive him.

After he handed over the introductory letter, a middle-aged woman flipped through it and then asked for some information.

Upon hearing that Li Yuan was previously a low-ranking border soldier, she didn't even look up and directly assigned him an Instructor.

Li Yuan received a token and a set of outer robes symbolizing a Disciple of Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy.

Before he left, the middle-aged woman emphasized something to Li Yuan.

The money Wang Jiuxing had previously paid was only enough for Li Yuan to cultivate here for half a year.

After half a year, unless he received the Instructor's approval and had his tuition waived.

If he still wanted to continue cultivating at the Martial Arts Academy, he would have to pay tuition again.

Li Yuan had thought that a recommendation letter was all he needed, but he didn't expect to have to pay a significant tuition fee.

Taking his things, Li Yuan went to find his Instructor as required.

Once he settled down, he would begin his planned arrangements.

The area he was assigned to was to the northwest of the palace.

Every Instructor had their own teaching area.

The students under them lived, ate, and cultivated within this area.

Except for some competitions or participating in Secret Realm trials, they rarely left this area to cultivate.

Walking over, he soon reached a cultivation square.

On the square, about a dozen young Martial Artists were cultivating.

They looked slightly older than Li Yuan.

Seeing Li Yuan, the oldest-looking one stopped his practice and walked over quickly.

"I am Liang Duqiu, the Eldest Disciple under Master Yin He."

This Disciple who called himself Liang Duqiu was very polite, and his speech was not difficult at all.

Li Yuan also responded politely, called him Eldest Senior Brother, and introduced himself.

Although he already had Ninth-Grade strength, Li Yuan was actually still very young, so he had no trouble calling him Senior Brother.

It was almost noon, so Liang Duqiu had everyone stop to go have lunch together, which served as a welcome for Li Yuan.

On the way to the Dining Hall, Li Yuan saw the others looking at him with a hint of sympathy.

During the meal, Li Yuan simply asked directly.

The other Senior Brothers didn't hide anything either.

"There are thirty-four Instructors in Meifengshan Martial Arts Academy, and our Master Yin He is the most indolent one.

If the Academy Headmaster didn't check occasionally, he probably wouldn't even come to guide us once a month.

Every time he comes, he just takes a quick glance.

When we ask him questions, he often brushes us off, saying our talent is insufficient.

Even if he explains, we wouldn't understand..."

The Senior Brothers around him chimed in one after another, all complaining about this Instructor.
