Hua Kai gave Chu Yuncheng a Golden Body Elixir, which was equivalent to giving them a Foundation Establishment seed.
Spirit Elixirs could only be successfully refined by a Spirit Alchemist. The Four Seas Merchant Association thought that they had already placed a lot of importance on the Hua family, but now they realized that what they saw was just the tip of the iceberg.
Hua Kai did this to repay the help of the Four Seas Merchant Association and to prevent them from having any other thoughts. If the Four Seas Merchant Association dared to betray the Hua family, Hua Kai could use the Spirit Elixir as a condition to make the Four Seas Merchant Association and even Chu pay an unbearable price.
After Hua Zichen's wedding ended, he would be going to the Country of Yan. No one knew when he would be back.
The entire Hua family was very heavy. In everyone's hearts, Hua Zichen was the first Connate seed of the Hua family, but no one knew what would happen to him on the battlefield!
This war would definitely be a long one, and for it to end, the Country of Yan had to recover most of the lost land. On the 30th day of the tenth lunar month, Hua Kai and his Fifth Uncle rode to Linzi City.
Time passed very quickly after entering Jixia Academy to study!
Hua Kai was still at the same pace as before, listening to classes every day to increase his knowledge. In the blink of an eye, winter came and went. Hua Kai was already 16 years old, but he was still at the perfected Natal Opening Realm.
The number of refugees in Qi City increased, and the aristocratic families did not have enough food, so they had less control over the refugees. News of the villages outside the city being attacked by the refugees came from time to time from Linzi City. Now, all the aristocratic families had closed their doors, and no one would leave home unless there was an important matter. The Qi family was also very strict with the management of the Jixia Academy students, and most of the requests to visit their families were rejected.
Today, there was a rumor in the academy that after the reinforcements from Qi City arrived, the attacks of the various countries in the Linhu Grassland slowed down.
They had been plundering in the northern part of the Yan Kingdom for half a year. They had almost collected enough slaves and food. They had lost their initial enthusiasm.
Jixia Academy had sent out two prodigies and more than 30 students to support the battle last year. It was said that one of the prodigies had fallen and more than half of the students had died. The battle was actually much more tragic than everyone had imagined. However, it was unlikely that the Donglin Nation and the other allied forces would be able to break into Qi's territory.
Xue Chen had entered Jixia Academy last month as the top student of Guang County Academy. He had brought along a Hua family student who was already over 16 years old. The number of people living in Saint's Courtyard 2 was finally four.
After Hua Kai finished listening to a great master of Mo's class in the morning, he felt that he had benefited a lot. He had already achieved small success in the Confucian, Daoist, Dharma, and Mo school mental cultivation techniques and had become a student of Jixia Academy's four major schools of thought. However, he had no way to become a great master of one of the four major schools of thought.
To become a student, one only needed a solid foundation and a good understanding. However, to become a great master, one had to have a unique understanding and understanding. It was not an exaggeration to say that one had to come up with one's own set of thoughts and theories.
That was because hard work was not the only way to achieve success. When Hua Kai saw this, he knew that he had learned enough of the basics. Now, his goal was to improve his own understanding. The best way to do that was to write his own novel.
After setting his goal, Hua Kai's first thought was "Dream of the Red Mansions." There were many cultural traditions and etiquette in the book that were similar to this world. Also, the irony and illogic in the book were especially prominent in this world.
Hua Kai felt that if he could write a "Dream of the Red Mansions" of this world, it would be much more influential than "The Three Kingdoms."
That day, Hua Kai did not go to class. He was at home thinking about how to write "Dream of the Red Mansions." At this moment, Xue Chen walked in.
Xue Chen came to Hua Kai's side and said solemnly, "Master, something big has happened!"
"What's the matter?" Hua Kai asked.
Xue Chen came to Hua Kai's side and said, "The Qin State has suffered heavy losses in the war with Lin Hu and Xiongnu. The other countries have not sent many reinforcements. I heard that the Qin King, Qin Zheng, has taken action and killed three Foundation Establishment cultivators. More than 20 Xiantian cultivators from the grassland countries have been killed. The Qin King might be in big trouble!"
The Qin King, Qin Zheng, was known as the number one genius in the world. He ascended the throne at the age of 13 and entered the Xiantian realm at the age of 18. At the age of 21, he successfully entered the Foundation Establishment realm and began to govern the country. Before the age of 35, he condensed his Golden Core and became one of the strongest people in the world.
It had been more than a hundred years since Qin Zheng condensed his Golden Core. There were no rumors of him taking action again. However, he was recognized as the number one expert in the world.
As a result, the Qin State had always been the most fearless of the seven countries. Now, the Qin State was fighting against more than 300,000 cavalrymen from the grassland.
But if Qin Zheng took action at this time, it would have a huge impact on his future!
In this world, Foundation Establishment cultivators could be called kings. Their battle prowess was heaven and earth compared to Xiantian cultivators. It could be said that once one entered the Foundation Establishment realm, one's status and lifespan would be elevated. However, the restrictions would also increase.
First of all, killing too many people above the Foundation Establishment realm would affect one's understanding of the laws of heaven and earth. It would also affect one's breakthrough. In serious cases, it would be difficult to survive when one's inner demons appeared.
Thus, every country could only use the Foundation Establishment realm as their final trump card.
Qin Zheng was not even 200 years old yet. He was the most likely person to break through to the Soul Formation realm and become the number one Thearch in history.
But this time, he had no choice but to take action for the sake of the entire Qin State. This was cutting off his own future!
Hua Kai had been in Jixia Academy for a year and had a rough understanding of the various cultivation realms. When he heard that Qin Zheng had taken action, he felt a sense of pity and then a deep hatred!
If Qin Zheng broke through to the Soul Formation realm, he would be able to clean up all kinds of demon beasts in the world. The Soul Formation realm was equivalent to a mid-high level demon beast. It was said that the demon race had not produced a demon beast in tens of thousands of years!
If a Soul Formation realm cultivator appeared in the human race, it meant that the human race would start to have the absolute upper hand in the battle against the demon race. In the next 100 years, the demon beast attacks in winter might become history.
However, all of this was destroyed by the Lin Hu, Xiongnu, Big Yue, Little Yue, and other countries. If the human race had to wait for such a person who could be called an Thearch, they would have to wait for thousands of years.
Hua Kai was thinking about this when Hua Xuan rushed in from outside the courtyard. "Family Head, the Saint is going to give a lecture!"
After Hua Xuan said that, Hua Kai stood up. He had heard that there was a Saint in Jixia Academy, but he did not expect the Saint to give a lecture.
The Saint in Jixia Academy was one of the three Confucian Sages. He had been living in seclusion in the academy for 500 years. Why did he come out today?
Could it be because of the drought?
The Saint was going to give a lecture tomorrow, and all the other classes in the academy were canceled. Hua Kai had heard that the Saint's lectures always had avatars. He definitely had to attend the Saint's lecture tomorrow.
The next day, Hua Kai got up before the sun rose. He saw that many students were already walking in the direction of the lecture. He, Xue Chen, and the other three followed the crowd and soon saw a simple palace. There were a few Connate guards outside the palace, maintaining order.
Perhaps only the Saint could have such a scene. The Saint was an existence that was on the same level as the leaders of the seven major countries.
He saw that there were people registering in front. It turned out that there was also a queue for the lecture. After Hua Kai registered, he saw that he had gotten the number two seat.
From number one to number ten, other than Hua Kai, the rest were teachers from the academy.
The ten of them had prayer mats to sit on and listen to the Saint's lecture.
Then, the 20 young masters and 40 teachers from Jixia Academy sat behind them. They did not have prayer mats and could only sit on the ground.
As for the other teachers and students, they could only listen to the lecture outside the palace. In order to get a seat that was slightly closer to the front, some of the students were fighting until their faces turned red.
When the palace door slowly opened, Hua Kai followed behind the magnate and slowly walked into the main hall. He saw a benevolent-looking elder smiling at them. Hua Kai and the other teachers bowed to the Saint, and the Saint smiled in response.
Hua Kai knew that there were many rumors about the Saint. Everyone thought that the Saint had already transcended mortality.
Some said that the Saint had already transformed into the Heavenly Dao and knew everything in the world. Some said that the Saint could already create things and open special mystic realms.
Hua Kai's seat was only three meters away from the Saint. He was a little worried. Could the Saint know all his secrets just by looking at him?
If the Saint knew that he was a reborn person and had the system, would he capture him and study him?
"Cough!
Yesterday, I heard that Qin Zheng killed more than 20 people from the grassland. Now that the Qin Nation's crisis has been resolved, it will be extremely difficult for him to break through to the Soul Formation Realm.
This can't help but make people sigh!
Qin Zheng is a young genius that is hard to come by in ten thousand years. At the age of six, he was familiar with the ideas of the Hundred Schools of Thought. At the age of 16, he had mastered all ten schools of thought. Even so, he believed in the Dao of the Son of Heaven, which is definitely in conflict with the ideas of the Hundred Schools of Thought. "
The Saint spoke slowly, and Hua Kai heard it clearly in his mind.
He didn't expect the Saint to come out today because of the Qin Emperor. He didn't know what the Saint's purpose was.
"Although the Qin Emperor wasn't very interested in the Hundred Schools of Thought, he absorbed knowledge from the Hundred Schools of Thought and achieved his own Dao.
This Dao is not for the heavens or for the people, but it has its own reasons. Although I don't admire it, I am sure that Qin Zheng's Dao has its own uniqueness! "
At this point, everyone heard for the first time that a Dao that didn't belong to the Hundred Schools of Thought. Moreover, the Saint seemed to be very certain, which shocked all the students. The Qin Nation used to be a synonym for barbarism and violence in everyone's hearts. Some scholars even thought that it was blasphemy to the Central Plains' culture to make the Qin Nation one of the Seven Heroes.
This was the first time that everyone heard that there was a Dao outside the Hundred Schools of Thought, and it was the Saint!
"Teacher!
Can we learn Qin Zheng's Dao? "
The middle-aged magnate beside Hua Kai asked. He was one of the Saint's disciples.
"Qin Zheng's Dao isn't something that can be learned easily. You don't have to pay attention to it.
Two of the Jixia Academy's magnate went north to fight against the Hu, and now, both of them have fallen. Today, I will talk to everyone about the Spring and Autumn Period … "After saying that, the Saint started to talk about the Spring and Autumn Period.
Hua Kai was very familiar with this part. The part that the Saint was talking about was the most famous part of the Spring and Autumn Period. However, when he heard it, it felt like he was telling everyone a short story. Every ordinary sentence seemed to contain the truth, and Hua Kai was unknowingly immersed in it.
