Chapter 203: Ancient Wild Land, Ancient Monster
"Are you leaving now? You really don't want to pick one? I can introduce a demon leader to you!"
After leading Feng Qing'an on a tour around the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, when Xiao Yi heard that the second young master wanted to leave, although he was happy in his heart, he still showed surprise and regret on his face.
"Today has broadened my horizons. I will come again when I have free time in the future!"
Feng Qingan made it clear that this would definitely not be his last visit to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters.
"The college entrance examination is coming soon. I must concentrate on preparing for the exam and not waste my time here!"
Hearing Feng Qingan's reason for leaving, Xiao Yi wanted to laugh. The news in Kyoto had already spread everywhere.
"Sir, you are too worried. The first place in the college examination must be you. Even if you hand in a blank paper, you will still be the first place!"
"Can a blank paper win the first place?"
Feng Qingan raised his eyebrows, remembering the news .
"Could it be that this year's imperial examination was held just for me? Is the postponement of the college entrance examination also due to me?"
"The imperial examination is naturally not held for one person, but your importance is greater than that of all other students, so this examination is indeed postponed because of you!"
Xiao Yi smiled and said, the person in front of him seemed to have not realized what his existence meant to Da Jin.
Unlike the man who could conquer the world with a sword, this second young master possessed a unique talent. Even if he did not do it deliberately, he formed a force that no one could ignore in a short period of time just by walking outside.
This young master can enable monsters to have the power to break through racial boundaries in a very short period of time, and can increase their strength to the peak in a very short period of time.
The black wolf that was stepped on by him and exuded the aura of a great demon was the best proof. According to the investigation of their Xiao family, the black wolf was just a wolf cub born from the intercourse between a domestic dog and a mountain wolf a few years ago. It was not even a real mountain wolf.
Although the princess had a hand in this and sent a ghost wolf demon pill, normally, it would be impossible for a wolfhound with such ordinary blood to digest the demon pill without a hundred years. Where is the strength?
Even the alchemist who made elixirs from the inner elixir of the Phantom Wolf said frankly that it would take at least sixty years for ordinary monsters with no foundation to adapt to this kind of elixir that could transform a monster.
But something that was contrary to common sense happened. The bloodline was so inferior that people didn't even bother to take a second look at it, let alone the bloodline of the wolfhound. In just a few years, it became a big monster.
Such ironclad facts make it hard not to make people restless and give rise to other thoughts.
There seem to be quite a lot of big monsters. In the mountains and forests that span more than a thousand miles, you can always find a few if you look carefully.
But no matter how many great demons there are, what does it have to do with the Great Jin dominated by the human race? Even if these great demons maintain a friendly attitude towards the human race, they will never stand on the side of the human race.
The vast majority of big monsters are hostile to the human race, but now that humanity in Dajin is flourishing, ghosts and gods from all over the world are blessed with incense and their strength is at its peak.
Therefore, the ferocious monsters in the deep mountains and old forests remain restrained and dare not do evil or stir up trouble. However, once the national strength is weakened and humanity declines, it will be a disaster for all living beings.
There are indeed many big monsters, at least half a hundred of them in the country of Dajin, but there are only a handful of big monsters who stand on the side of human beings and work wholeheartedly for them.
This kind of big monster that is inclined towards humans was raised by humans. The reason why it can achieve something is also because of the cultivation of humans.
Not to mention other places, there are several of them in their Xiao family, and there is even one who is more ferocious. However, the growth rate of monsters is so slow compared to that of humans that it makes people despair.
Just like the demon ancestor worshipped by their Xiao family, he followed the ancestor in traveling around the world in the past, but until the ancestor died, the demon ancestor had not yet reached adulthood.
It was not until the fifth generation of the family head died that the living ancestor broke through the limits and reached the proper level. However, by that time, the grave of their ancestor had grown into an ancient forest.
Therefore, if the human race, which has a shorter lifespan, wants to cultivate a great demon, they must be prepared to exhaust several generations, and they must also be a family like their Xiao family that has mastered the methods of cultivation.
Ordinary families can forget about it. If they raise monsters, once the balance of strength becomes unbalanced and the master is weak and the servant is strong, they will easily be backlashed and their bloodline may be cut off.
Such things have happened more than once. Of course, there are also loyal monsters who never abandon their loved ones, but for the inheritance of the family, the worst-case scenario must be taken into consideration, and one cannot harbor unrealistic fantasies.
It is precisely because it is so difficult to cultivate a great demon that is completely loyal to the family that ordinary families will not even consider this aspect.
Compared to throwing resources at monsters, isn't it more reliable to throw them at your own family? Those who plant trees will enjoy the shade, but most people only want to be the descendants who enjoy the shade, not the ancestors who planted the trees.
Therefore, it is only natural that the Jin Dynasty court would have some thoughts after the appearance of the Second Young Master, who is suspected to be able to make monsters grow in a very short period of time.
Although such talent sounds incredible, if it is the reincarnation of a celestial being, then everything makes sense. For a celestial being, what does it matter if he cultivates a few great monsters in a short period of time? It's normal!
If the big monster cannot be won over, then kill it, harvest its inner elixir, and refine it into elixir. Then, with the help of the second young master's talent, you can cultivate a big monster that is completely loyal to Dajin in a short period of time!
Of course, this is just his guess, but the specific approach must be similar. With such a talent, who wouldn't want to make use of it?
But even if he is to be used, he must have a suitable status. The second young master has such a personality, so we can only go with the flow. Since he is willing to take part in the imperial examination, we will give him fame.
Whatever he wants, he will be given. As long as he is willing to enter the system of the Jin Dynasty court, Jin Dynasty is willing to give him everything they can.
"Sir, if you wish, you will be the undisputed first in every imperial examination you take part in, no matter what you write on your answer sheet!"
Xiao Yi was quite confident. Although he had only heard part of the news, he could tell some things with just a little effort.
"My butler also told me the same thing when I came to Fengtian City, but he couldn't confirm the authenticity of the news. As a direct descendant of the Xiao family, you are more informed about this than my butler. It seems that this matter is true!"
Feng Qingan's expression was subtle at this moment.
Although the Jin Dynasty court attached so much importance to him that he felt satisfied, he felt disgusted and repulsed when he thought about the fact that he had been ranked in an exam that he had not even taken.
He knew very well what kind of literary talent and knowledge he had. If he were the original him, he could have achieved the title of scholar or juren after ten years of hard study and struggle.
After practicing, he had sharp ears and eyes, and a photographic memory. Even passing the imperial examination was not a difficult task for him. However, it would be too difficult for him to pass the imperial examination like his elder brother, relying on his real talent and knowledge to win six first places in a row.
Now someone told him that as long as he wanted, he could win the championship like his elder brother and reproduce his elder brother's brilliant achievement three years ago.
To be honest, Feng Qing'an didn't feel happy at all. Instead, he felt bored. Originally, he took part in the imperial examination to verify what he had learned over the years.
But now the ranking has been determined for him, what is the point of verifying it?
Boring!
"So you don't have to worry about the imperial examination, young master. You can go around Fengtian City before the examination begins. You can go to the Yun family's Medicine King Pavilion, the Shi family's Hundred Weapons Square, the Sun family's Mechanical Building, and the Zhang family's Sutra Hall. You can go and have a look. Maybe you will find some unexpected surprises!"
Xiao Yi didn't even blink an eye and blatantly shifted the blame to someone else.
Yun San, this bastard, led people to the base of their Xiao family and forced him to take people on a general tour of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons. In this case, the other families can forget about getting away. If they are going to be doomed, then they will all be doomed together.
"Shi, Sun, Zhang, are these the surnames of the other major families in Fengtian City?"
Feng Qingan could tell at a glance what this young man from a noble family was planning, but he didn't care because he was very interested.
As soon as you hear it, you know that the reason these noble families were able to gain a foothold in Fengtian City is that they have mastered irreplaceable skills.
The Yun family was well-known in Dajin for their alchemy skills, and Feng Qingan was very interested in the pills they made. He didn't believe that those guys could only make some aphrodisiac and passion-enhancing pills.
"Yes, these families, as well as my Xiao family, are collectively called the Five Families of Fengtian by some nosy people!"
"That's interesting. I'll go check out the places you mentioned in the next few days. Besides these, are there any other interesting places in Fengtian City?"
"Longyin Academy, one of the four largest academies in the world, is just outside Fengtian City. I heard that the academy has recruited several new teachers. I wonder if you are interested?"
"Teaching?"
Feng Qingan raised his eyebrows slightly. The teacher who could attract the attention of the noble family must be extraordinary, not just good at writing articles.
“When did you recruit?”
"At the beginning of this year's spring, there were several very learned gentlemen. Before entering the academy, they were wandering Taoist priests. It is said that they came from the north of Nanhua Continent, crossing thousands of miles!"
"Nanhua Continent? Across thousands of miles!"
Feng Qing'an understood as soon as he heard it and felt like he had learned something new.
Although this noble family kid was giving him directions and clearly had bad intentions, he did not harbor any ill will towards him. This was a typical example of a family that would not let others have a good time if their own family did not have a good time.
"Nanhua Continent is the name of the land under our feet. I heard that across the vast ocean, there are many lands that are not inferior to Nanhua Continent. But those gentlemen can't tell how many continents there are!"
Xiao Yi explained, and then he sighed from the bottom of his heart,
"This world is so vast that I feel like a mayfly!"
"How big is Nanhua Continent?"
Feng Qingan asked, finally knowing the name of the place where he was standing.
Now he had only traveled to a few places in Dajin, and outside of Dajin, he only knew about a few neighboring countries, but beyond the neighboring countries, he was completely in the dark and had no idea at all. He had never even heard of places farther away.
"I have asked this question before, but only one gentleman answered me. He said that our Nanhua Continent is more than 50,000 miles long from north to south, but he couldn't say for sure how long it is from east to west!"
“…”
Feng Qing'an was filled with amazement at this moment. Although he had anticipated the vastness of the world, after all, he had seen the underworld, but something as huge as this was still beyond his imagination.
"It seems like there's a chance. I'm going to ask for advice!"
There was no need to ask about the origins of those gentlemen, but it was a bit outrageous that they did not even understand how vast the continent beneath their feet was. However, such a vast world made Feng Qing'an fascinated and excited.
"Although these gentlemen are still in the academy, they rarely show up. They only come out to give a lecture when they are in a good mood. However, with your status, as long as you go to Longyin Academy, I believe you will be able to meet them easily!"
Xiao Yi smiled.
When those Taoists came out of Fengtian City, several major families still had some ideas, but unfortunately, they were ignored. After wandering around, they entered the Longyin Academy, which gave them no hope of winning them over.
"I don't have any status. I'm just a little boy student!"
"Young Master is really good at joking!"
Having said this, there was nothing more to say. Feng Qing'an did not stay in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons any longer. He led Heishan and Baiyao back along the same route. From afar, they saw the Demon Locking Tower and the tower standing next to it.
"Sir, take care. If you ever have some free time, you are welcome to come to my Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters again!"
Before stepping onto the flying bridge that would lead back to the human world, Xiao Yi looked respectful and felt pretty good in his heart, as he had finally sent this person away.
Although the Luo family still had the idea of winning over and recruiting this person, the Xiao family had no such idea at all. After the family made a decision, they gave up the idea. This was not a great god that could be retained in their small temple of the Xiao family.
"Okay, I'll come back in a few days. By the way, can I go in directly next time? Or do I need someone to lead the way, or some special token or something?"
"Well!"
Xiao Yi, who was just being polite, looked at Feng Qingan in a daze. Wasn't he not interested in the Kingdom of Monsters? He had introduced so many things, but he didn't see him go down to find a female monster to enjoy himself. Why did he come a second time?
"What's wrong? You don't welcome me?"
"How come?"
Xiao Yi laughed dryly twice and quickly took out a token of a dark color. One side of the token was engraved with thousands of lifelike monsters and ghosts, while the other side had the words "Ten Thousand Monsters" engraved on it, carrying a strange and captivating power.
"This is the Ten Thousand Monsters Token. As long as you hold the token, you can get the best treatment whenever you come to the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom!"
“Really?”
Feng Qing'an reached out to take the token of strange texture, then looked up and down at the young man from a noble family in front of him who had a charming face but a tough temperament.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Noticing Feng Qing'an's eyes, Xiao Yi, who had just handed over the token, was startled and took a step back. He couldn't help but think wildly. He knew himself well. His face was very suitable for some of his miscellaneous hobbies.
"nothing!"
Feng Qing'an took a deep look at the young man from aristocratic family, turned around and walked into the flying bridge. At this moment, the young man from aristocratic family was emitting a hazy glow that he had never had before.
The spirit of the cave!
When he left, it appeared again!
What does this guy want to do?
Feng Qing'an, walking on the pier, felt confused. The force of time and space distortion appeared at this moment, and the world turned upside down.
But when he reached the end of the plank road, the floor under his feet was no longer wooden, but hard rock. He did not return to the human world!
This is not Fengtian City!
A hazy mist filled everything in front of him, and a slightly confused voice sounded beside his ears.
“Can you see me?”
