"You two performed very well this time, especially you, Student Su. You gave us teachers a big surprise!"
Hearing Chen Fugui's words, Su Chen did not comment and nodded calmly.
It's not that he likes to keep quiet and pretend to be an expert.
But because there is nothing to say.
After all, he couldn't tell Chen Fugui that the reason why he was able to cultivate sword intent in the Qi gathering period was entirely because of playing games, right?
Besides, what's there to explain about comprehension?
Chen Fugui looked at the "cold" Su Chen, and not only did he not think that he was too proud, but he felt that it was reasonable.
After all, if you can comprehend the sword intent in the Qi gathering stage and dare to attack the golden elixir stage in the Qi gathering stage.
You would be arrogant too!
Chen Fugui felt that Su Chen was able to achieve what he has today because he has the kind of pride that makes him the only one in the world.
After all, without this kind of pride, what could he use to attack the Black Rock King in the golden elixir stage?
Besides, if young people are not full of energy, what kind of young people are they?
However, Chen Fugui called the two over not to talk about Su Chen's character but about their plans.
"How much do you know about the four major Taoist academies? Do you have a favorite one?"
After hearing Chen Fugui's words, Su Chen and Lu Xiaoye looked at each other.
Then Su Chen spoke up: "I don't know much, so I'd like to ask the two teachers to help me solve my doubts."
Chen Fugui nodded and then talked about the detailed information of the four major Taoist academies in the Immortal Alliance.
As for the Taoist academies other than the four major ones, it's better not to talk about them.
Because Su Chen and Lu Xiaoye couldn't go there.
After Chen Fugui's explanation, Su Chen quickly understood the characteristics of the four major Taoist academies.
The so-called Four Great Taoist Academies of the Immortal Alliance was originally a mortal temple opened up within their respective spheres of influence, led by the four holy places of the Immortal Alliance.
By doing so, on the one hand, the four holy places can expand their influence on the Kyushu within their respective spheres of influence, and on the other hand, it can help the sects select talents, thus killing two birds with one stone.
Up to now, the four major academies have become the main places for the major sects of the Immortal Alliance to select disciples.
To select good disciples, many second-rate sects would send some of their guardian elders to the four major Taoist academies to serve as lecturers.
In exchange for this, he gained the opportunity to select disciples from the four major academies.
The four major academies not only did not object to this but were very happy to see it.
Because this will unknowingly deepen the connection between other sects and major holy places.
Further strengthen the influence of the four holy places in Kyushu.
Based on this point, the characteristics of the four major academies can be easily summarized.
Qinghe Taoist Academy is located in the east of Kyushu. The holy sect behind it is Shangqing Taoist Palace, which mainly studies wood magic and swordsmanship.
Lihuo Taoist Temple is located in the south of Kyushu. The holy sect behind it is the Wanye Immortal Sect, which specializes in fire magic and alchemy.
The Savage Taoist Temple is located to the west of Kyushu. The holy sect behind it is Jiuyao Tiandu, which mainly practices gold magic and physical skills.
Xuanshui Taoist Temple is located in the north of Kyushu. The holy sect behind it is Canghai Xuanzong, which specializes in water magic, earth magic, talismans, and divination.
Although the four major Taoist academies each have their characteristics, it does not mean that once you are admitted to a certain academy, you can only practice in the direction that the academy is good at.
You should know that the so-called major only means the knowledge that these Taoist academies are best at teaching.
It doesn't mean that they only know this area.
For example, Bai Ling studied at the Qinghe Taoist Academy.
She is a standard physical practitioner, but the place where she studies is not the Savage Taoist Academy which focuses on physical skills, but the Qinghe Taoist Academy.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
But does it matter to her?
To be honest, yes.
But not very big.
Because there are also some cultivators at the Qinghe Taoist Academy.
Although their teaching in physical training is not as advanced as that in the Savage Taoist Academy,
But it was enough to teach her all the practices before the golden elixir stage.
As for the practice after the golden elixir stage, it is even less relevant.
Because when a cultivator reaches this level, all practice depends on himself.
It is difficult for external forces to help.
Therefore, in a sense, although the four major academies have their advantages and disadvantages, the gap between them is not that big.
If we compare the areas in which each Taoist academy excels to a full score of 100,
Even in other areas where they are not very good, they can still reach around 90 points.
The gap with the other three Taoist academies is only within 10 points.
Therefore, no matter what the students are good at, in theory, as long as they enter any of the four major academies, they can receive the best training.
After all, the four major academies have gathered the resources of the top sects in the entire Immortal Alliance and countless cultivation families.
Even in areas where they are not good, they crush the Taoist academies other than the four major ones.
Therefore, this saying has been circulating within the Immortal Alliance.
There have always been only two types of young cultivators in the Immortal Alliance: one is the cultivators from the four major academies, and the other is the cultivators who are not wanted by the four major academies.
For most students in the Immortal Alliance, whether or not they can be admitted to one of the four major academies is not only a reflection of their ability but also related to their future.
However, nothing is absolute. In the many years of history of the Immortal Alliance, there are still some students who are not from the four major academies but have achieved achievements that have attracted the attention of the four major academies.
It's just that there aren't many such examples.
From an objective point of view, the most suitable Taoist academy for Su Chen is undoubtedly the Qinghe Taoist Academy, which focuses on swordsmanship.
After all, only there can his swordsmanship potential be fully realized.
For Lu Xiaoye, Lihuo Taoist Academy is undoubtedly the most suitable place for her.
This is not only because Lihuo Taoist Academy specializes in fire magic, but there is also a very important reason. Lihuo Taoist Academy, or the Wanye Immortal Sect behind Lihuo Taoist Academy, has a very complete method of practicing the "Red Flame Phoenix Tribulation.".
Because the person who founded the Wanye Immortal Sect back then was the first generation of Phoenix Tribulation cultivator.
All the Phoenix Tribulation cultivators from subsequent generations will be trained by the Wanye Immortal Sect as future sect leaders.
So don't think that Lu Xiaoye seems to be at the same starting point as everyone else now.
But once she enters the Taoist Academy the gap between her and others will instantly widen.
This gap is multifaceted, including inheritance, resources, system fit, and so on.
And it is also because of Lu Xiaoye's special feelings towards the Wanye Immortal sect.
As a result, the Wanye Immortal sect has sent people to look for Lu Xiaoye and her father many times over the years.
He wants Lu Xiaoye to report to Lihuo Taoist Academy as soon as possible and stop wasting time on high school studies.
But because of Lu Xiaoye's strong opposition, the matter ended up in nothing.
After all, Lu Xiaoye has no apparent relationship with the Wanye Immortal Sect.
But in the eyes of others, she is almost the real future successor of Wanye Immortal Sect and the young master of Wanye Immortal Sect.
Therefore, when faced with the young master's slogan, "Flowers may bloom again, but people will never be young again," she is determined to spend her entire youth in high school.
What could those cultivators from the Wanye Immortal Sect, who came to persuade her, do they dare to oppose?
Okay, okay, you kid dare to object, right? Then the young sect master will write you down in her little notebook!
Right now, the young sect leader has not yet risen to power, so you can still live a peaceful life.
But when the young master rises completely, all of you guys who disobey the young master prepare to report to the boiler room of the Wanye Immortal Sect!
Therefore, the people of Wanye Immortal Sect finally chose to respect Lu Xiaoye's wishes and let her finish the last three years in Jiangcheng.
However, considering Lu Xiaoye's safety, Wanye Immortal Sect still asked the people of Shangqing Taoist Palace to protect their young master.
Finally, Shangqing Taoist Palace handed this task to golden elixir monk Yu Tianqi.
Otherwise, even if Yu Tianqi wanted to investigate the Black Lotus Rebellion ten years ago in Jiangcheng, there would be no need for him to open a small, unremarkable noodle restaurant near Su Chen and Lu Xiaoye's home.
Do you think that a golden elixir-stage cultivator has so much free time that he can open a small noodle shop in one place for ten years?
Investigating the Black Lotus Rebellion is Yu Tianqi's wish, and protecting Lu Xiaoye is his job.
And this job will soon be over as Lu Xiaoye is about to graduate from high school.
Therefore, Chen Fugui and Li Youquan currently seem to be guiding Su Chen and Lu Xiaoye on their future aspirations in the Taoist Academy.
But in fact, the only person who needed guidance from beginning to end was Su Chen.
Li Youquan, was here to do some ideological work for Lu Xiaoye!
He was very worried that Lu Xiaoye knew that Su Chen did not choose to go to Lihuo Taoist Academy but went to other places.
If that's the case, then it would be a serious matter.
After all, the young master of the Wanye Immortal Sect went to other holy places to study.
Let's not talk about whether other holy places and Taoist academies dare to teach. Even if they dare to teach, Wanye Immortal Sect will never allow such an outrageous situation to occur!
What if the young master has been brainwashed by other holy places?
Wouldn't the future of Wanye Immortal Sect be bleak then?
So in a sense, Su Chen's choice of Taoist Academy this time is related to the relationship between the Wanye Immortal Sect and other sects and holy places.
If they are not careful, the whole of Kyushu... will be in chaos!
When Chen Fugui and Li Youquan thought of this, they felt inexplicably stressed.
Before Su Chen showed such terrifying talent, they didn't feel any pressure.
Because they thought that Su Chen would not be able to get into the four major academies anyway.
At that time, Lu Xiaoye used her power in the Wanye Immortal Sect to send Su Chen to the Lihuo Taoist Academy under the Wanye Immortal Sect. Wouldn't that be easy?
But after Su Chen displayed his sword intent, things became complicated.
To know what it means for a person to cultivate the sword intent in the Qi gathering period, no one knows it better than Chen Fugui and Li Youquan.
Let's put it this way: if Lu Chen is willing to go to the Qinghe Taoist Temple, then he has a great chance of competing for the position of Holy Son of Shangqing Taoist Palace.
He went one step further and became the headmaster of the Shangqing Taoist Temple.
Although Qinghe Taoist Academy did not send investigators to observe the joint entrance examination of the three schools this time.
However, they believed that the Qinghe Taoist Academy must have received the news and would arrive soon, trying their best to get Su Chen to choose the Qinghe Taoist Academy.
