Chapter 416 Returning to Leiyang Sect, Things Have Changed

Bai Yu looked at the optional rewards and chose the Soul Devouring Magic Art without any hesitation.

[Soul Devouring Magic Art, a mid-grade Earthly Demonic Art, can directly devour various spiritual objects and turn them into its own true essence! ]

This is a devouring magic art, which is different from ordinary ones at first glance.

Bai Yu raised his magic art to the pinnacle.

As soon as the magic art was activated, a huge mouth appeared in front of him, and a strong suction force came out of the mouth, rapidly swallowing the spiritual power in the air into the mouth.

This speed of absorbing spiritual power is several times faster than Bai Yu's usual practice!

Bai Yu casually took out a spiritual herb and threw it into the giant mouth, and the spiritual herb was quickly digested by the giant mouth and fed back to itself!

In the past, absorbing spiritual herbs required refining pills, but now it can be absorbed directly.

Bai Yu nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, the magical powers produced by monsters are extraordinary.

After choosing the rewards, he set his sights on the Confucian literary energy.

Having obtained a lot of literary energy from the Confucian saint Zhang Jin, Bai Yu felt that countless articles were surging in his mind.

But even Bai Yu didn't know how to use this thing.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he began to write furiously.

"Abin's spiritual roots are not ideal..."

In an instant, an adapted version of "Silver Vase Plum" was completed.

Bai Yu smiled slightly.

With the literary spirit of a Confucian sage, even if he changed his career to write articles for the young ladies in the brothel that were not related to gambling and drugs, he could still make a good living.

A few days later, a piece of news came from the capital of Songming Kingdom.

Zhang Jin, a Confucian sage in the world, died together with the Xuan Demon Mother in order to stop the monsters from causing trouble in the world.

The Confucian sage's last wish was that everyone in the world would have a ladder to ascend to immortality, and everyone in the world would be like a dragon, and that the imperial examination of immortality would be vigorously promoted.

Bai Zhenjun of Xiaolei Temple was moved by the righteousness of the Confucian sage, and joined forces with Baihe Academy to fully support the royal family in promoting the imperial examination of immortality.

Since then, Xiaolei Temple and Baihe Academy have formed an alliance.

Yuanfu Temple and Xiaolei Temple belong to the same Taoist sect, and the two temples have always been on good terms, so they also came out to support.

The other major sects had different reactions to the news, but generally speaking, they did not oppose it too much.

The imperial examination of immortals mainly affects the interests of wealthy families.

In Xiaolei Temple, Nan Fubo sighed:

"Master uncle is indeed far-sighted. This move is enough to ensure the prosperity of Xiaolei Temple for three hundred years."

"If the imperial examination of immortals is implemented, the biggest beneficiaries will naturally be the royal family and Confucianism. Xiaolei Temple is tied to these two, and it represents the involvement of the immortal sect in the imperial examination. It will not be bad to please both sides."

A few months later, Bai Zhenjun of Xiaolei Temple announced that he would close the gate of life and death and hand over all trivial matters to Nan Fubo.

The immortal cultivation world of Songming Kingdom did not have any waves after hearing the news.

It is also normal for Yuanying cultivators to close the gate. Some hard-working cultivators sit for dozens or even hundreds of years.

With a close eye and a open eye, the great-grandson can already help with soy sauce.

At this time, Bai Yu had already returned to Leiyang Sect with Lao Mo.

If he wanted to leave Taixuan Continent, he had to go back to the sect to handle some affairs.

It had been more than a hundred years since we parted.

Looking around, the mountains were still green.

Bai Yu couldn't help but stroke the white hair on his temples.

White hair grows in a foreign land, and green mountains are seen in his homeland.

When Bai Yu flew close to the mountain gate, the gatekeepers didn't recognize Bai Yu.

One of them hurriedly stepped forward to salute:

"Senior, are you here to visit relatives? Or to visit friends?"

"These days are the time for new disciples to join the sect, and the examination is more strict. If I offend you, please forgive me."

Bai Yu smiled slightly, took out the disciple's order, and said with a smile:

"I am also from Leiyang."

The gatekeeper hurriedly let him go, and Bai Yu floated away.

After Bai Yu left, the two disciples whispered to themselves:

"This senior looks very unfamiliar, how come I have never seen him before?"

"Didn't you see that he used a Jindan-level disciple order? He must have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage outside."

At this time, Bai Yu entered the Leiyang Sect. He felt like he was in a different world and could hardly recognize it.

"Time flies so fast. There is a pair of black tigers guarding the mountain at the entrance. Many Taoist temples have been opened inside and outside the Nine Thunder Peak. Even the trees on the roadside are increasingly covering the sky and the sun."

"Even the thunder and fire stone pillars in the center of the square have been replaced by a lotus pond."

"All the disciples inside are new faces. I haven't seen a single familiar person after walking so far."

Revisiting the old place, things and people are different.

This strange feeling made Bai Yu feel empty in his heart, as if something had slipped away.

Even Lao Mo smelled and looked around, trying to find a few familiar things.

In the square, it was another year of the Flying Immortal Conference.

Groups of new disciples, with hope on their faces, were eager to try, and began to practice in teams with their senior brothers and sisters of the previous generation.

Senior brothers and sisters of the previous generation were very eloquent, and fooled the newcomers into joining various associations.

"This junior brother, join our Tianqin Society, let's practice together."

"Junior sister Qin, I see that you have a unique bone structure, why not join our Baiqiao Society."

"Learn about iron forging and fitness."

...

Bai Yu even saw a young man and woman holding hands in the grove beside the road.

The young face of the female cultivator was flushed.

This is youth.

These familiar scenes made Bai Yu feel a little familiar.

He couldn't help but think of the past, when he was also like this - watching others holding hands.

"Lao Mo, let's go home."

"Woof woof~"

Bai Yu took Lao Mo to see his master Wuweizi first.

Wuweizi was still lying on a bamboo chair sipping tea.

But now he is getting older, his hair is completely white, and there are more and more wrinkles on his face.

But when he spoke, he was still full of energy:

"You little brat, you still remember to come back, I thought you were going to die outside."

"If I die, you little brat won't even be able to divide the inheritance in time."

Although he cursed, Wuweizi's eyes were a little moist.

Bai Yu hurried forward and poured tea for Wuweizi:

"Master, I'm back."

"Look, these are all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas that I collected in Songming Country, and I made dishes for you."

Bai Yu handed over a storage bracelet, which was full of various dishes.

Wuweizi snorted coldly:

"You little brat still has a conscience, there are some snacks in the top cabinet."

"I have bad teeth, you can eat it."

Bai Yu opened the cabinet, and there were many spiritual medicines and fruits in it.

Some of them looked like they had been there for many years, and they should have been specially left for him by Wuweizi.

Bai Yu's eyes were sore. While eating spiritual fruits, he chatted with Wuweizi, talking about everything.

An old man and a young man, talking about everything.

Lao Mo lay at his feet and fell asleep quietly.

Harmonious and peaceful.

In the next few days, Bai Yu went to sweep the graves of his senior brother Yuan Wu and others, and met with a few old friends such as Senior Sister Yanli.

Senior Sister Yanli has always been rich and generous.

She enthusiastically gave Bai Yu a face wash, and the heavy sense of conscience was so oppressive that it almost suffocated people.

Of course, the price was that the dozen kinds of spiritual wine on Bai Yu were all plundered by Senior Sister Yanli, leaving not a drop.

After paying homage to the old friends, Bai Yu went to the ancestral hall again, exchanged for the Yuanying-level disciple order, and certified his new identity.

Senior Sister Yanli still represented the sect and granted Bai Yu the Yuanying-level skills.

[Thunder and Fire Tribulation Technique (fourth to sixth level), middle-grade Earthly Evil Mysterious Technique, one of the eight inherited techniques of the Leiyang Sect, with a compatibility of 72% with the Five Elements Wind and Thunder Record.]

Bai Yu was delighted that he could improve his technique again.
