No Way People Find Cultivation Difficult, Right?

Jin State Academy, inside the Hall of Rites.

Wait for everyone to drink for three rounds.

The generation of disciples sitting in the front row couldn't help but speak.

"This ten-nation competition, Fellow Daoist Huangfu should definitely win."

When he opened his mouth, he actually wanted to praise Ye Ping first, but after all, the other party was a guest, so he couldn't be so direct, so he praised Huangfu Tianlong first, and then praised Ye Ping.

"That's not the case. There are a lot of strong people in the Ten Kingdoms Competition, and there is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. My goal is actually not high. I just need to be in the top ten."

Huangfu Tianlong opened his mouth like this, and when he mentioned Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, he took a special look at Ye Ping.

The meaning is obvious.

After saying this, an elder nodded and said: "Very good, although you are young and frivolous, but you have such an idea, it is very good."

The elder opened his mouth, agreeing with Huangfu Tianlong's point of view, thinking that he is very good.

"Top ten? Fellow Daoist Huangfu, you must have underestimated yourself, don't you?"

"That's right, you push the Ten Kingdoms horizontally. In theory, even with Senior Brother Ye around, there shouldn't be any problem with being in the top three, right?"

The disciples were a little shocked.

Although it is true that the Ten Kingdoms Grand Competition is as strong as a cloud, Huangfu Tianlong pushed the Ten Kingdoms horizontally. If he hadn't met Ye Ping, to be honest, everyone in the world believed that Huangfu Tianlong could win the first place.

However, Huangfu Tianlong shook his head with a wry smile.

"The top ten are indeed a little humble, but I am not lying. I came from the southern country and pushed all the way, but in fact I also understand that, such as Li Guo, Chen Guo, and Jing Guo, they have not sent a real Tianjiao at all. Fight me."

"At least I know that among Li Guo, Chen Guo, and Jing Guo, there must be strong men who are not weaker than me. If they don't show up, it's not because they don't dare to fight me, but to preserve their strength. It was a blockbuster."

"Besides, in the previous ten-nation competitions, some disciples from small countries were often included in the top ten."

Huangfu Tianlong said very seriously.

"Well, in fact, in each ten-nation competition, half of the people selected for ten-nation schools are disciples from small countries."

"Yes, there are some small countries that cultivate geniuses with the power of the whole country. You must know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are mountains outside the mountains. Don't always think that you are invincible."

Some elders nodded, approving what Huangfu Tianlong said.

"I didn't expect there to be such a saying."

"It seems that we still underestimated the ten-nation competition."

"Actually, it's not that we underestimated the ten-nation competition, but that our eyes are always on Tianjiao, so we always feel that we can't do it."

They talked about the ten-nation competition.

But at this moment, Huangfu Tianlong continued to speak.

"This ten-nation competition, if there are no accidents, the person who ranks first should be Senior Brother Ye."

He looked at Ye Ping and said that, both as a compliment and as a recognition.

Everyone chuckled, and it seemed the same to them.

But the next moment, Ye Ping's voice could not help but slowly sounded.

"I will not participate in the ten-nation competition."

Ye Ping's voice sounded.

In an instant, the entire hall fell silent.

Everyone was stunned.

They all showed expressions of disbelief.

Because in their eyes, Ye Ping can almost win the first place in the Ten Kingdoms Grand Competition and promote the prestige of the Jin Kingdom Academy.

Unexpectedly, Ye Ping actually said he would not participate?

Not to mention the disciples and elders of the Jin Academy, even Huangfu Tianlong was stunned.

The ten-nation competition is the only way to the ten-nation academy.

Not participating means not going to the Ten Kingdoms Academy,

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

Especially Huangfu Tianlong, he couldn't believe what Ye Ping said.

After all, in the eyes of all monks, entering the Ten Kingdoms Academy is their lifelong dream.

Ye Ping is so powerful, but he actually said that he didn't want to participate.

Seeing everyone's astonishment, Ye Ping looked very calm.

For him, the so-called ten-nation competition is not attractive at all, and he even has no interest in ten-nation universities.

"Senior Brother Ye, why don't you participate in the Ten Nations Competition?"

"Senior brother Ye, the ten-nation competition directly affects the ten-nation academy. If you don't participate, it is almost impossible to enter the ten-nation academy. Especially in the past few years, the review of the ten-nation academy has become more stringent. Senior brother Ye, you have to be careful. .”

Huangfu Tianlong was full of doubts, and even looked a little anxious at the end.

He didn't understand why Ye Ping didn't want to participate in the ten-nation competition, but what he knew was that Ye Ping was so strong that if he missed it, he would have to wait for decades.

After all, the Ten Kingdoms Academy only conducts a grand competition every thirty years.

Hearing what Huangfu Tianlong said, Ye Ping took a sip of his wine and said slowly.

"I don't like to fight and kill. Furthermore, in the sect, I am not good at learning. I am afraid that I will be ashamed for my sect if I go to the school of the ten countries."

Ye Ping explained, but what he said was half true and half false.

In his opinion, it is true that he is not good at learning, but it is false to be ashamed. Ye Ping is still confident in his own strength.

In fact, in the end, the main reason is that Ye Ping wants to go back to the sect to practice.

After all, Qingyun Daozong, everyone is a talent, and they speak nicely.

Going to a school of the ten countries, there are many people and things but boring, just like in the school of the Jin country.

Ye Ping's answer silenced everyone in the hall again.

It's okay to say that you don't like fighting, but what does it mean that you are not good at learning?

You are not good at learning? What are we called?

"Senior Brother Ye, you are too humble. With your strength, if you go to the Ten Kingdoms Academy, you may have a place."

"The most important thing is that if you don't enter the Ten Kingdoms Academy, you really can't enter the Daxia Academy."

Huangfu Tianlong continued, he was dissuading Ye Ping, hoping that Ye Ping would change his mind.

In his opinion, the reason why Ye Ping didn't want to go to the Ten Kingdoms Academy was mainly because the Ten Nations Academy couldn't bring him any growth.

However, Huangfu Tianlong knew that perhaps the Ten Kingdoms Academy would not be of great help to Ye Ping, but the Great Xia Academy would certainly be of great help to Ye Ping.

And the only way to enter the Great Xia Academy is through the Ten Kingdoms Academy.

The higher the school, the more stringent the conditions for selecting students.

In other words, unless Da Xia Zi speaks in person, otherwise, no matter how powerful your background is and your skills are superb, it is impossible not to enter the Da Xia Academy through the Ten Kingdoms Academy.

This is also why Huangfu Tianlong dissuaded him so much.

The Daxia Academy Palace is the supreme holy place of the entire Daxia Dynasty, where there are countless cheat books, and every teacher is a leader in various fields.

And there are many benefits to entering the Daxia Academy. You can know things that others don't know, broaden your horizons, and open up the pattern, which is also a good thing for practice.

"That's right, what Huangfu Tianlong said is right, Ye Ping, even if you don't want to go to the Ten Kingdoms Academy, it is impossible for you not to go to the Great Xia Academy, that place will not be weaker than your sect."

"Right now, the ten-nation competition is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is said that the Daxia Academy may recruit students again. If you seize this opportunity, maybe in three to five years, you will become a Daxia student."

"Yes, Senior Brother Ye, you really have to be careful."

At this moment, not only Huangfu Tianlong dissuaded Ye Ping, but basically everyone could not help dissuading him.

To be honest, everyone was a little uncomfortable, and people like Duanmuyun were even more uncomfortable.

Their greatest wish is to enter the Great Xia Academy and become a student of the Great Xia in their lifetime.

But they know that with their strength, it is almost impossible to enter the Great Xia Academy.

However, Ye Ping is obviously capable, but he is unwilling to enter the Daxia Academy.

Sure enough, it is really impossible to compare people.

Ye Ping was a little silent, he took a sip of wine, in fact, he also understood that the Great Xia Academy is extraordinary, and it is by no means comparable to the so-called Ten Kingdoms Academy.

But it was because he knew that the Daxia Academy was extraordinary, that's why Ye Ping wanted to study hard in Qingyun Daozong.

It's just that Ye Ping feels that it's too fast now, he has only practiced for half a year, and there are still many things he hasn't learned.

If you just entered the Daxia Academy like this, it would be a bit counterproductive.

He took a sip of his wine and didn't continue to answer.

And everyone knows that everyone has their own way. Ye Ping is a genius, or a peerless genius. He has his own ideas, and it is difficult for everyone to directly propose them.

Just like that, there was a little silence in the hall for a while.

"It's still early for the Daxia Academy, so don't rush, come, come, let's continue drinking."

Someone speaks, breaks the silence, and avoids appearing too awkward.

Several hours later, the feast was almost over.

Ye Ping got up to leave, Huangfu Tianlong also got up and followed Ye Ping out of the hall.

Obviously, he still wanted to have a good talk with Ye Ping.

After Ye Ping left, the news spread quickly.

All of a sudden, there was an uproar.

No one would have thought that Ye Ping would refuse to participate in the ten-nation competition. After all, not participating in the ten-nation competition is almost equivalent to giving up the qualification to join the Great Xia Academy.

Ye Ping's residence.

Huangfu Tianlong came into the room, he looked at Ye Ping, wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.

In the room, Ye Ping also poured a cup of tea for Huangfu Tianlong, and he is very accommodating now.

"Junior Brother Huangfu, this is a new tea, you should try it."

Ye Ping asked Huangfu Tianlong to drink tea.

As for the latter, no one wants to drink tea.

He was still entangled in the matter of Ye Ping not participating in the Ten Nations Competition.

After all, Ye Ping's strength is so strong, if he enters the Ten Kingdoms Academy, he can fly to the sky, and he can often find Ye Ping to discuss.

Whether for public or private purposes, Huangfu Tianlong very much hoped that Ye Ping would join the Ten Kingdoms Academy.

"Senior Brother Ye, listen to me, I know that your sect must be extremely powerful, and it is normal to look down on the Ten Kingdoms Academy."

"But the Ten Kingdoms Academy is by no means our end point. The Great Xia Academy is our starting point. You may not understand the terrible thing about the Great Xia Academy."

"I waited to go to the Great Xia Academy not only for the secrets of the mind, but the most important thing is the vision and pattern. Only those who have gone to the Great Xia Academy can truly see the world."

Huangfu Tianlong said so, he still felt that Ye Ping looked down on the Ten Kingdoms Academy, and even the Great Xia Academy.

Because he thought the same way before, but it wasn't until later that he met a strong man from Daxia Academy.

Huangfu Tianlong completely changed his mind.

As peerless geniuses, they don't need any resources. For them, secret books of mind, Taoism and supernatural powers, and magic medicines are all at their fingertips.

But the pattern of vision is what they need most. Only when they understand how big this world is, can they realize how small they are.

This is also the reason why Huangfu Tianlong has been dissuading Ye Ping.

He didn't want Ye Ping to be unwilling to go to Daxia Academy just because of some resource issues.

After hearing what Huangfu Tianlong said, Ye Ping couldn't help but nodded, because he also agreed with Huangfu Tianlong's words.

However, he still seemed a little silent and did not answer.

At this moment, Huangfu Tianlong couldn't help but continue to ask.

"Senior Brother Ye, what are you worried about?"

He could see that Ye Ping had some concerns, but he didn't know what Ye Ping was worried about. He was very curious.

Seeing the curiosity in Huangfu Tianlong's eyes, Ye Ping wanted to say it but couldn't directly express his concerns.

He was afraid of hitting Huangfu Tianlong.

"Senior Brother Ye, if you think I'm a reliable person, you can just tell me that I will never spread the word. I, Huangfu Tianlong, have a nickname in the southern country, called tight-lipped."

Huangfu Tianlong could see Ye Ping's expression, so he said this, full of curiosity.

"Do you really want to know? In fact, the main reason you spread the word is that you are afraid of hitting you."

Ye Ping smiled wryly.

But Huangfu Tianlong couldn't help frowning, he didn't understand what Ye Ping meant.

What does it mean to be afraid of hitting yourself?

He grew more curious, but continued on.

"Senior Brother Ye, it's okay to say, I, Huangfu Tianlong, are never afraid of blows."

Hearing this, Ye Ping had nothing to worry about, he shook his head, then sighed and said.

"The main reason why I don't participate in the ten-nation competition and I don't want to go to the ten-nation academy is that I have only practiced for half a year."

"For others, my strength is very strong, but I understand that growing up too fast is sometimes not a good thing."

"So I think I'm thinking about going to the Ten Kingdoms Academy a few years later."

"Actually, it's okay to talk about the Ten Kingdoms Academy. The main reason is that the Daxia Academy is likely to enroll students within the past few years, or if you just joined the Ten Kingdoms Academy and went to the Daxia Academy in a few years, it seems too fast."

"For me, it's kind of counterproductive."

Ye Ping opened his mouth, and he expressed his concerns.

However, after saying these words, Huangfu Tianlong froze in place.

He looked at Ye Ping with disbelief in his eyes.

half a year?

He suspected that he had misheard, but at his level, how could he mishear what others said.

If anyone had said these words, he would not have believed them.

But these words were spoken by Ye Ping himself, and he fully believed that it was true.

At this moment, Huangfu Tianlong was completely stunned, he knew that Ye Ping was very strong, and his talent must be better than himself.

But no matter what, he couldn't believe that Ye Ping had only practiced for half a year.

This is simply outrageous.

I started to practice at the age of three, and I used special potions to refine my body every day. It took fifteen years to cultivate the ancient art of the dragon and elephant to the sixth level.

Later, relying on the true blood of the dragon, he barely broke through to the seventh floor, which was regarded as the help of external force.

But even so, it was still defeated by Ye Ping.

However, Huangfu Tianlong was not too shocked, after all, Ye Ping was four years older than him.

However, telling myself now that I have only practiced for half a year is simply overturning Huangfu Tianlong's cognition.

He froze in place, unable to recover for a long time.

Seeing Huangfu Tianlong's expression, Ye Ping couldn't help but sighed.

He knew that Huangfu Tianlong would have this expression.

To be honest, he didn't want to hit Huangfu Tianlong, he was afraid that his Dao heart would be unstable, but Huangfu Tianlong couldn't stop him from asking.

So you can't blame yourself for this.

Sure enough, curiosity killed the cat.

A full half an hour.

Huangfu Tianlong didn't even come back to his senses, until now, he slowly let out a breath.

At this moment, Huangfu Tianlong, who came back to his senses, had a wry smile all over his face.

He wanted to cry, but couldn't cry.

If he had known that Ye Ping had only practiced for half a year, he would not have swallowed the true blood of the dragon.

But fortunately, his Dao heart was still stable.

It's just that he doesn't want to say anything now.

What else do you say?

Are you qualified to say it yourself?

Do you match yourself?

"Senior Brother Ye, I feel that my injury has not completely healed, so I will go back first."

Huangfu Tianlong said with a bitter face.

"Haven't recovered yet?"

Ye Ping was a little curious, because he could tell that Huangfu Tianlong's injuries had almost healed.

And Huangfu Tianlong did not heal, but it was not an injury to his physical body, but an injury to his heart.

He felt like he was going to tear apart.

Huangfu Tianlong did not answer this question, but left the room silently.

After Huangfu Tianlong left, Ye Ping had no time to think about other things.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

For a moment, Ye Ping frowned slightly. He knew that this was not Huangfu Tianlong, just by looking at the figure.

However, what made Ye Ping frown was that the other party appeared outside the door quietly, which is definitely not something ordinary people can do.

"Enter."

Ye Ping opened his mouth and spit out a word with an extremely calm expression.

This is the Jin State Academy, so there is no danger.

Soon, the door was opened, and a man in black came in.

The man wore a white mask with a cross carved on his forehead.

The other party came over, cupped his fists and bowed to Ye Ping, and then spoke slowly.

"At Xia Yan Shi, I met fellow Daoist Ye Ping."

The other party's tone was gentle, and he didn't seem to have any malicious intentions.

"Why do you want me, Mr. Ye?"

Ye Ping seemed a little curious, he had never heard of the other party's name, and he didn't know what the other party asked him to do.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, I have been ordered to come here and present you a great opportunity."

Yan Shi said so, then took out a purple orb and placed it in front of Ye Ping.

This orb, the size of a baby's fist, exudes purple light, illuminating the entire room.

And this purple orb seems to have a soothing effect.

This is a top-quality ancient treasure, definitely a priceless treasure, it can stabilize the primordial spirit, and has a strange effect.

For a moment, Ye Ping's eyes were full of curiosity.

Who the hell is this kind of person to present such a treasure to himself as soon as he makes a move?

It must be too generous.

However, Ye Ping knew that he would not be rewarded for his merits, and the more things he gave, the better, and he was afraid that he would ask for more things.

In this world, no one is a fool.

Ye Ping remained silent, but looked at Yan Shi, the curiosity in his eyes explained everything.

The latter smiled lightly, then stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Ye Ping's gentleness.

"Ye Daoyou, this is just a little care of my master. As long as Ye Daoyou is willing to help my master, there are countless treasures like this."

"Even..., there are even better treasures than these."

Yan Shi said so, through the mask, his eyes were full of pride and confidence.

This kind of pride and self-confidence made Ye Ping even more curious.

"Who is your master?"

Ye Ping asked.

Shot is such a treasure, presumably his status should be extremely noble.

After all, such a thing, even the crown prince of Jin cannot take it out at will.

"Prince Daxia, the crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty."

The latter spoke, and the pride in his eyes became stronger when he spoke.
