"Let's go out for a walk," Mo Wen said as he packed up his things and called out to Xiao Hei. The two of them headed towards the street. In truth, Mo Wen wasn't particularly concerned about the Heavenly Tribulation; what he lacked was opportunity. Perhaps it was because he had been in crowded places recently, but he felt that leaving would bring some insights. Although he couldn't be certain, staying in the inn was definitely not the solution. He didn't hold it against Xiao Hei, as there was some truth in what Xiao Hei said—he had indeed been overly cautious.
The two wandered around the small town for half a day, purchasing some materials before heading straight out of the city.
Inside Yinzhou City, Yin Qian sat at his seat, reviewing messages sent by his clansmen. Although Yinzhou was the territory of the Jin Family, being located on the border meant that information relied on reports from the Empire or clansmen outside. This time, they received a jade slip, which was a one-time message, indicating its importance.
"Good news!" Yin Qian sighed with relief. He had felt an unusual tension when he first saw the jade slip; it was the first time he had received such a message.
"Father, what good news?" Yin Jianren looked at his father in confusion. When the jade slip arrived, his father had appeared serious and even summoned important figures from their clan.
"The major powers have joined forces to establish a Mountain Gate called Chongyun Academy. It will begin accepting students in twenty years, limited to those under two hundred years old and above the Jade Body Realm. Unfortunately, there are very few among us in the Jin Family who meet these criteria." In fact, there were hardly any in the entire Jade Body Realm who qualified, let alone those under two hundred years old. Currently, only Yin Jianren in the hall was under two hundred, but he had not yet reached the Jade Body Realm.
"What kind of Mountain Gate is Chongyun Academy?" After hearing Yin Qian's words, there was a flurry of discussion in the great hall, with most people asking similar questions.
"According to the information, various major powers have been discussing how to cultivate the younger generation together for some time now. However, they all had their own agendas and couldn't reach an agreement until now. This Chongyun Academy is considered one of the strongest Mountain Gates in existence. The Elders are all powerful seniors from these major forces, and it is said that their Kung Fu is provided by the Divine Nerve Hall as top-tier Kung Fu." Yin Qian frowned; the jade slip mentioned that this agreement among major powers seemed to have been prompted by recent anomalies in the Lava Sea. Yinzhou City was not far from the entrance to the Lava Sea and was situated directly above it. If something were to happen in the Lava Sea, it could potentially affect the entire Cangyun Continent. Mr. You Ran had once told him that the Lava Sea held great significance; however, he hadn't revealed what secrets it contained. Therefore, he would not disclose this information until he confirmed it and could only prepare quietly.
The others were unaware of Yin Qian's thoughts and assumed he was troubled by a lack of suitable candidates; thus, they began expressing their opinions.
"Alright everyone, regardless of what this Chongyun Academy's recruitment purpose is, it presents an opportunity for our Jin Family. From now on, all descendants of our Jin Family under one hundred eighty years old must diligently cultivate. Additionally, if there are outstanding juniors related to our Jin Family who need cultivation resources, our Jin Family will provide them based on their progress speed and offer rewards..." Yin Qian began assigning tasks to everyone.
"Father, I want to go out and gain experience to seek opportunities," Yin Jianren said after everyone else had left, leaving only him and his father behind.
"I understand your intentions; you may go. Just don't disgrace our ancestors or your master," Yin Qian replied. As they say, no one knows a child better than their parent; Yin Jianren's thoughts were clearly visible to him. Although he had only spoken briefly about Chongyun Academy earlier, there was no mistaking the eagerness in Yin Jianren's eyes. He was indeed one of the most promising juniors in the Jin Family.
