A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

The next morning, the bell rang at Zhaoming Academy.

Chen Yang, Qin Yuwei, and others gathered in the square.

Soon.

Qi Yue strode over, looked at the group of students, and said, "Students who were previously selected to enter Spirit Turtle Island, step forward and follow me immediately!"

Chen Yang, Qin Yuwei, Bai Lu, and others immediately followed.

For the first time ever, Qi Yue didn't wear a leather jacket and pants today; instead, she changed into a bright green long dress!

Her long green dress contrasted beautifully with her fiery red hair, giving her a unique and captivating beauty.

Qi Yue looked at Chen Yang and the other ten people and said, "We need to meet at the beach in Xinghai City. Everyone, follow my horse and don't fall behind! Especially Chen Yang, you're still being resented by Wanxing Academy, so you need to be careful!"

Chen Yang nodded.

The group quickly arrived at the backyard of Zhaoming Academy.

There are hundreds of chestnut horses kept here!

These horses are superior breeds resulting from crossbreeding between ordinary horses and mythical beasts, making them fast and durable.

Qi Yue walked to her horse, intending to mount it, but suddenly said helplessly, "I forgot, I'm wearing a skirt today, which is a bit inconvenient."

At this moment, Bai Lu stepped forward and grabbed Qi Yue's arm, saying with a smile, "Dean Qi, you look especially beautiful today! Your skin is so much better than before. Have you invented some new cosmetics? If you have such good cosmetics, don't forget about us!"

The other girls quickly chimed in, "Yes! Dean Qi, you look absolutely stunning today!"

"Dean, if you hide that red hair, you'll look just like a student; you'd never guess you're a dean in your thirties!"

"Dean, what beauty secrets have you come up with? You have to share them with us right away!"

"You can't keep this from us, or we'll still be best friends!"

These students spoke very casually to Qi Yue.

They used to chat like this.

But today, Qi Yue was clearly a little uncomfortable!

Her face immediately flushed with guilt, and she didn't dare to look at the student in front of her—after all, her improved complexion wasn't achieved through any legitimate means, but purely thanks to Chen Yang!

Qi Yue counted on her hands and said, "Alright, alright, stop asking! We're about to enter Spirit Turtle Island. Isn't a month of cultivation on Spirit Turtle Island better than any cosmetics? Let's go!"

Qi Yue carefully lifted her skirt slightly to cover her thighs, then mounted the horse and sat on its back.

Then, Qi Yue called out towards the distance, "Elder Ma, Elder Liu, we are ready, let's set off!"

Soon, the ten students, along with Qi Yue and two academy elders, rode their chestnut horses straight to Xinghai City.

Xinghai City is not far from the capital.

About half an hour later, the horses passed by Xinghai City, but did not enter the city. Instead, they went directly to the seaside not far from Xinghai City.

There is a huge pier by the sea, next to which is a large ship made of wood and alloy.

After dismounting, Qi Yue took out ten sets of off-white robes and ten cloaks from her storage ring. She handed these clothes to Chen Yang and the others, saying, "Put these clothes on, wear your straw hats, and come with me onto the ship!"

Chen Yang looked at the outfit with some confusion and asked Qin Yuwei beside him, "Why are you wearing a straw hat to cover your face? Are you afraid to be seen? Or is there some danger?"

Qin Yuwei shook her head and said softly, "There's no danger. It's just a tacit agreement. All the major organizations and families don't want others to know who has entered Linggui Island, especially Zhaoming Academy and Wanxing Academy."

Chen Yang asked curiously, "Why?"

Qin Yuwei smiled and whispered, "This is to prevent other organizations and families from poaching our talent! After all, those who can enter Spirit Turtle Island are the most outstanding students. And after training on Spirit Turtle Island, it's said that their talent and cultivation level will be further enhanced. These are the talents that other major families are vying for!"

"For example, the Eastern Depot of the Imperial Family, or the guard battalion of the Prime Minister's Mansion, they search everywhere for potential talents every year and bring them under their command for training. Most of the students who graduate from Zhaoming Academy and Wanxing Academy also go to work for these large organizations and families in order to obtain more cultivation resources, including Foundation Establishment Pills, which are necessary for Foundation Establishment."

Chen Yang suddenly understood: So the reason for wearing the straw hat was simply to prevent others from poaching his wife!

Soon, Qi Yue and the two elders led Chen Yang and the others onto the ship.

At this time, there were already dozens of students on the ship. These students were divided into five groups and gathered together. All the students were wearing long robes and straw hats.

Seeing this, Chen Yang was somewhat disappointed: he had originally planned to check if that bitch Ma Xinran had also come to the ship!

Before long, all one hundred selected candidates had boarded the ship.

The largest groups were the Royal Family, the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Sword Pavilion, Zhaoming Academy, and Wanxing Academy—each of these five organizations had ten members selected.

The other fifty spots were allocated to other top-tier families and large organizations, such as Tianbao Pavilion, Daming Chamber of Commerce, Daming Guard, Su Family, Yin Family, and so on.

As the giant ship began to accelerate and quickly headed out to sea, the three old men soon reached the center of the deck.

One of them was dressed in eunuch's robes, his body hunched over, his face indifferent.

The other person was Zhao Qiankun, the patriarch of the Zhao family of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Zhao Qiankun was strong and had a high stride, exuding an aura of power that could swallow rivers and lakes.

The third person was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties. She was dressed very plainly, even somewhat like a vegetable vendor on the street. However, when she stood with Zhao Qiankun and the old eunuch, her aura was in no way inferior to theirs, and no one dared to underestimate her!

Chen Yang's concealment and detection technique quickly enveloped the three of them.

After checking, Chen Yang was stunned!

Then, Chen Yang turned to look at Qi Yue.

Qi Yue was standing on the ship's railing, gazing at the sea view. She seemed to sense Chen Yang's gaze, so she turned her head and met his eyes.

After exchanging a single glance, Qi Yue quickly lowered her head, not daring to look again—she was genuinely feeling a little guilty!

After receiving Chen Yang's 30,000 spirit stones yesterday, she completely opened a door to love and experienced the pleasures of sex for the first time in her life!

At this moment, Chen Yang stood up and strode over to Qi Yue, resting his shoulder on her delicate pink shoulder!

Qi Yue's body tensed suddenly, and her heart raced!

Feeling guilty, she glanced around nervously, then looked up slightly at Chen Yang and whispered, "What are you doing here? So many people are watching!"

Seeing Qi Yue's nervous expression, Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh. He whispered, "Please, can you be a little more natural? You're acting like a sly fox having an affair, which only makes people suspicious!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue laughed in anger and stomped hard on Chen Yang's foot!

Chen Yang quickly said, "I called you here to ask you some serious questions!"

Qi Yue scoffed and said, "What serious business could you possibly have?"

Chen Yang asked in a low voice, "Who are those three people? How come they are so strong? Logically speaking, I am now at the Great Perfection of the Golden Body Realm, and above my cultivation should be the Transcendent Foundation Establishment Realm! But why is it that those three people, who clearly haven't reached the Transcendent Foundation Establishment Realm yet, seem to have a stronger aura than me? Why is that? Is my current peak Great Perfection cultivation not perfect enough? Could there be other cultivation realms above the Golden Body Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue turned her head and couldn't help but open her mouth wide, her pretty face full of surprise!

Then, Qi Yue nodded and said, "Chen Yang, you really surprised me! I remember when I saw you yesterday, you hadn't even reached the ninth level of the Golden Body Realm yet; you were only at the eighth level! In just one night, you not only reached the ninth level, but you even comprehended the Great Perfection level of cultivation! Moreover, your perception is far stronger than I thought!"

"Indeed, your investigation is correct! These three individuals are indeed not at the Transcendent Foundation Establishment stage, but they are definitely stronger than those at the Great Perfection of the Golden Body stage!"

Chen Yang quickly asked, "Why is that? Could it be that there really are other realms in between?"

Qi Yue shook her head and said, "Of course not! The reason they have such a strong aura is because they took Foundation Establishment Pills! But, although they took Foundation Establishment Pills, they did not successfully reach the Foundation Establishment Realm! So, although their strength is indeed strong, they are only half-step Foundation Establishment, and there is no essential difference between them and the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm!"

Chen Yang immediately understood and said, "So even if you cultivate the Daoist scriptures and take the Foundation Establishment Pill, you're not guaranteed to successfully establish your foundation!"

Qi Yue couldn't help but laugh and said, "Of course! In reality, very few people succeed in establishing their foundation by taking just one Foundation Establishment Pill! Most people have to keep taking Foundation Establishment Pills repeatedly, and only through repeated comprehension can they enter the Foundation Establishment realm! However, some people's talent is really too poor. If they still haven't succeeded in establishing their foundation after taking nine Foundation Establishment Pills, they basically have no hope!"

After listening to Qi Yue's explanation, Chen Yang finally understood.

Qi Yue said, "Alright, you should go back now! As for these three, you don't need to worry about them. They represent the top combat power of the three super-first-class forces. Even a half-step Foundation Establishment cultivator is the strongest person in our entire Southern Region! They are usually recruited by the three major forces!"

Chen Yang asked curiously, "Since a half-step Foundation Establishment cultivator is considered top-tier combat power, why would they be recruited?"

Qi Yue shrugged and said, "That's normal! Because they need Foundation Establishment Pills, and only the Enforcers of the Tianhai Sect have them! So, if you want to establish your foundation in the future, you can only rely on the three top-tier families to obtain them more easily! Of course, first-class families like the Su family and the Yin family might also be able to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills, but the quantity is extremely limited!"

Chen Yang understood.

Qi Yue subtly kicked Chen Yang's shin and said, "Alright, go back now! So many people are watching, I'm nervous with you standing here!"

Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh. He stretched out his arm and directly wrapped it around Qi Yue's slender waist.
