Chapter 51
Before dawn, I got up from the bed, took a basin of cold water to wash up briefly, and then changed into a set of clean clothes.

Came outside my master's cave.

I said to the three-tailed, one-eyed beast that looked like a civet cat in front of the door, "Please inform me, Luo Xiufeng's disciple Zhang Xiaotian is asking to see you."

That cricket glanced at me, flicked its tail, and got into a small hole less than a foot beside it.

I didn't wait too long, and soon it appeared in front of me again, and this time the door was also opened to me.

I thanked the rat and walked in.

As far as the eye can see, there is a large peach forest. For dozens of miles, the peach blossoms are blooming all over the mountains and plains. When the breeze blows, there is a flower rain in the sky immediately.

Pink petals are blown everywhere.

However, I vaguely remember that the last time I came here was probably a bamboo forest, but that was two years ago, and it is possible that I remembered wrongly.

It was useless to think too much, I walked directly into the peach forest, and then... I got lost.

My south, east, west, north, front, back, left, and right sides all looked the same, so it didn't take long for me to lose my bearings and run around like a headless chicken.

Just when I was thinking about whether to secretly make a mark on the tree or something, I finally heard a low and steady voice.

"come over."

I followed the sound, and finally saw Master brushing his teeth with willow branches in the depths of the peach grove.

Master looked at me expressionlessly, and asked after a while, "Who are you?"

I looked embarrassed, "I admit that I didn't do well before, and I didn't visit you as often as other brothers."

"What else?" The master was noncommittal.

"Oh, by the way, thank you for your kind words in front of Sect Master Wei, so that my unworthy disciple was not expelled from Qingyun Sect."

While talking, I took out the basket of green apricots that the old demon of Montenegro sent me two days ago, and offered it with both hands.

Master took the basket of apricots, his complexion finally improved, and he pointed to the stone bench not far away, and said to me, "Sit down, you are a real rare visitor, you shouldn't have come all the way to find me." Just to thank me in person."

"That's right." I nodded.

There's no way, the interaction between me and my master these years is one of the few, even if I want to play some mentor and virtuous apprentice, it's too late to respect the master as a father, so I might as well just do it directly.

So I didn't hide anything, and said bluntly, "Master, I want to enter the top ten in the graduation exam. Do you have any magic tricks here that can help me quickly improve my cultivation and swordsmanship."

Master heard this and almost sprayed my face with mouthwash, "What do you think you want to do?"

"Ranked in the top ten in the graduation exam." I said with a serious face.

"What is your cultivation level now?"

"The middle stage of foundation establishment." I said truthfully.

"But I remember that you were in the middle stage of foundation establishment when you started."

"Yes, I can say that I haven't improved at all in the past three years."

"You know that if you want to enter the top ten, you must at least have a pulse-condensing cultivation base, and you spent three years, and you didn't even reach the late stage of foundation establishment. Now there are only a little more than three months left before the final exam. Why do you think that you can surpass those fellow disciples who have been practicing and preparing for three years?"

The master shook his head and said, "The cultivation mentality of the major sects is actually not too different, because after all, it has been continuously optimized and iterated for thousands of years, and the unreasonable parts have basically been deleted and revised long ago. What is left now is the most effective cultivation method.

"So from the day you first entered the sect, we masters have been persuading you to cultivate hard and persevere. Small streams can form rivers and seas, and small steps can reach thousands of miles. Keep improving on the road of practice.

"But all of you don't take our words to heart. Those who play chess play chess, those who fall in love fall in love, those who chase stars, and you say that it's okay if you get the deal done. After graduation, you can Those who have a family and a mouth can have an innocent relationship that can blossom and bear fruit.

"But you are fine. Love and love have not fallen, and your practice is so-so. If you can do it, you can do it. Oh, forget it, I don't bother to talk about you anymore. Now work hard and make a surprise attack. Don't even think about being in the top ten. That's not what you should care about Things, find a way to win three games, and get your graduation certificate smoothly.

"There are no shortcuts in the road of cultivation... Oh, it's not right to say that, there are indeed some natural talents and earthly treasures that can make people reach the sky in one step, and there are also some powerful swordsmanship in my Qingyun Sect, which can defeat the crowd with one, but these are different from ordinary people. It doesn't matter.

"Can your family afford millions of spirit stones to buy you Broken Mirror Beads? Or are you willing to donate another library to Qingyunzong in exchange for my Qingyunzong's Supreme Sword Code Zhuxian Qizhan? It is precisely because there is no , so we ordinary people should practice hard.

"I know this sounds old-fashioned, because it is the precious experience accumulated by countless people who have been through continuous falls and many regrets, so that their younger generations will not repeat their mistakes. Of course, you can Loudly scolding the injustice of this world, complaining that those in high positions are greedy and cruel, and they are vegetarians.

"But after complaining, you still have to work hard to live your own life. Most people are too weak. We can't change the world, at least not right away. What we can do is to work harder, work harder, protect Take care of yourself, protect those you care about, and do what you can to make the world a little bit less bad.

"If I don't practice hard and achieve the Golden Core, do you think Head Wei will care about me pleading for you and not driving you out of Qingyun Sect? Do you know how many disciples of Qingyun Sect join the sect every year and how many leave? In his eyes, they are not real people, but just a string of numbers on a form. Those adults don't care about the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of a tiny individual, as long as the string of numbers is beautiful enough to make their resume Shining brightly, they can continue to climb up, and that is the most important thing to them.

"Oh, I've said too much today, probably because I've gotten old recently, anyway, take care of yourself, don't do stupid things, and let other people worry about you."

Master waved to me.

I also saluted him solemnly, thanked him again, and turned to leave his cave.

 Next, I will tell you about [-] days. I started with pre-registration, with zero foundation, how to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, and finally exceeded the national line by [-] points.

  The craziest manga would probably not dare to draw like this.
