Chapter 165 Still Need to Charge?

The students were disappointed. Free stuff is the ultimate human joy, and Yuan Shi Tianzun took their joy away.

"Important information requires purchase, and important knowledge requires payment, which is reasonable." The old dean smiled, "Everyone, outside, no matter how much money you spend, you may not be able to find out information about unsolved mysteries."

The average annual salary of deacons is over one million. Doing side jobs, making extra money, and selling materials makes an annual salary of ten million not a difficult task.

Therefore, the tuition fee of one million is bearable for everyone.

After obtaining the consent of the students, the old dean immediately took out paper and pen, drew up a written agreement, and wrote an IOU.

This knowledge-thirsty old man capped his pen and took the lead in pressing his fingerprint.

Then he handed the IOU to the class monitor to pass on to the students to press their fingerprints.

Soon, the note was full of fingerprints and handed to Zhang Yuanqing.

22 million in hand, the funds are immediately more abundant... Zhang Yuanqing stared at the IOU, feeling happy.

Since refining the divine weapon in the Odd Job House, he has cleared out almost all the useless props in his hands. Without selling props or materials, Zhang Yuanqing found that money is really hard to earn.

This also explains why most *Lingjing Xingzhe*, especially wild ones, are generally short of money. Unless they are starving to death, very few people will choose to sell props.

In comparison, scholars and musicians are the easiest to make money.

The former has the technology and knowledge to take on private work, and the latter makes a living by selling songs, which can also earn a lot of money. On the contrary, some professions that are good at fighting, under the constraints of moral values, lack revenue methods.

Satisfied, he folded the IOU and put it in his pocket.

"Okay, thank you for your support." Zhang Yuanqing left his seat and walked onto the podium, glancing at Dean Li Yanxi.

The gray-haired old dean was stunned for a moment, then silently got up and stood aside.

Zhang Yuanqing took the opportunity to sit down, looking at the eager students below, and said:

"According to the analysis of overseas *Lingjing* scholars, the Third District corresponds to Norse mythology. There are two bases for verifying this statement. First, overseas *Lingjing Xingzhe* have collected a small number of professional props that do not belong to the First and Second Districts.

"After interpreting the attributes of the items, it was found that they can correspond to certain gods in Norse mythology.

"Second, the ending of Norse mythology: Ragnarok.

"In the description of Ragnarok, all the gods died because of mutual killings, and the mythology entered a great silence, waiting for the opening of the next reincarnation. The Third District is waiting to be opened."

So the Third District is Norse mythology. Since there are prop attributes to support this statement, it must be correct... Xiahou Aotian and others nodded repeatedly.

"Too far-fetched!" Zhao Feiwen suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of the students. He said:

"The Third District may correspond to Norse mythology, but why do you say that the reason for not opening is Ragnarok? Whether Ragnarok actually happened remains to be confirmed."

Hearing this, the students fell into contemplation and looked at the dean, wanting to hear his opinion.

Li Yanxi did not express his opinion, seemingly waiting for Yuan Shi Tianzun to continue.

"Ragnarok really happened because similar disasters are recorded in myths and legends all over the world, not unique to Norse mythology."

Facing the question, Zhang Yuanqing said calmly:

"We all know that myths and legends are another history of *Lingjing Xingzhe*. Have you ever thought about why there are records of world destruction in major myths? Is it a coincidence?"

Zhao Feiwen frowned. As a scholar, he recognized Yuan Shi Tianzun's speculation.

"What is the reason for the depletion of spiritual energy?" Niu Lanshan's Little Fairy asked excitedly, raising her hand.

"What is the ending of Ragnarok?" Zhang Yuanqing asked back.

"The gods are destroyed, and the Third District is closed to this day." Sun Miaomiao answered quickly.

"Is it possible that the reason for the depletion of spiritual power is caused by the great disaster?" Zhang Yuanqing spoke eloquently:

"After the great disaster, the ancient practitioners died and were injured, and civilization was interrupted, leaving only some orally transmitted myths. Countless years later, new practitioners rose, that is, the ancient practitioners in our mouths.

"But because the disaster caused some irreversible effects, the spiritual power gradually depleted until the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the practitioners withdrew from the historical stage."

The students listened with great interest.

"Logically, it makes sense, but what is the basis for supporting your theory?" As a paying user, Tianxia Guihuo actively defended his rights and raised questions.

Although Yuan Shi Tianzun's analysis was brilliant, even telling a story was eye-catching.

"The depletion of spiritual power stems from a great disaster in the distant ancient times? A very exciting entry point, but there is too much speculation and cannot be written into a paper." Xiahou Aotian shook his head regretfully.

Zhang Yuanqing said in a deep voice:

"I can only prove that the disaster does exist, and it will happen again."

As soon as this was said, the faces of the students present changed suddenly, and even the old dean showed surprise and solemnity.

"Nonsense!" Zhu Mingxu said loudly: "You mean that a disaster like Ragnarok in mythology will happen in the future? It's just sensationalizing."

No one believed Yuan Shi Tianzun and felt that his speech was absurd and boring, scaring them.

Only Xiahou Aotian flashed a thought: Is my chance to save the world as the protagonist here?

Dean Li Yanxi pondered:

"Yuan Shi Tianzun, why do you think so?"

Zhang Yuanqing said loudly: "More than 20 years ago, a major event happened. The mysterious treasure, the Compass of Light, appeared in the world. The compass predicted that a terrible disaster would come again in the near future.

"As soon as the prophecy came out, it caused a sensation among the senior leaders of major organizations. All the demigod-level masters in the world participated in the battle for the compass. The first marshal of the White Tiger Soldier Crowd died in that battle. Ordinary students may not know about this, but the few from the *Lingjing* aristocratic families should have heard their elders say it."

Liu Yushu, Zhao Feiwen, Zhu Mingxu, and others looked at each other with strange expressions.

Yes, they had heard of it.

But they only knew that there was such a thing, and did not know the content of the Compass of Light's prophecy.

Even their elders did not know the content of the prophecy, except for the ancestors of each family.

When the students saw the expressions of the young masters from the aristocratic families, they understood.

"What is the prophecy of the Compass of Light?" Liu Yushu asked in a deep voice.

The people below instantly perked up.

Zhang Yuanqing chuckled: "This is not a matter of one million. If you want to know, come find me outside the instance. I'll sell it to you for five hundred million."

"Why don't you just rob someone?" Liu Yushu said angrily.

Zhang Yuanqing ignored his complaints and concluded:

"In summary, I believe that the reason for the depletion of spiritual power is a terrible world-destroying disaster, and so is the reason for the closure of the Third District. At least I don't know when it will open.

"The last unsolved mystery is the birth of *Lingjing*. I'm sorry, I don't know, but I can provide some ideas. One: the opening of the instance is not unique to *Lingjing*. Demigod-level *Lingjing Xingzhe* can also do it.

"Two: Ancient practitioners are not bound by *Lingjing*, but they are a group that grew up after the great disaster. Ignoring inertial thinking, is it possible that the existence of ancient practitioners is not normal? *Lingjing Xingzhe* is the normal state.

"According to the prophecy of the Compass of Light, the disaster seems to be in reincarnation, happening once every long period of time. According to this logic, let's make a bold assumption that after the disaster, *Lingjing* stopped running and fell into hibernation, so the ancient practitioners appeared."

Saying this, he stood up: "I've said everything I wanted to say, for reference only."

The classroom was silent, and everyone was lost in long thought.

Because Brother Hong Ji relied on force and the chef reached an agreement, the cafeteria only provides one food for lunch: Moonlight Fish Congee.

Although the dishes were simple, the congee was good, and Zhang Yuanqing ate three large bowls.

The first class in the afternoon was at two o'clock. Brother Hong Ji greeted the students to play cards in the library, while the girls submitted an application to the academy to go to Lingzhi Island for a spring outing.

—Peony Fairy and Niu Lanshan Little Fairy took the lead.

Zhao Chenghuang also submitted an application to the "Stargazer" teacher to go to the island. Of course, the island he chose was not Lingzhi Island, but Jixin Island (Chicken Heart Island).

While drinking congee, Zhao Chenghuang rarely took the initiative to approach Zhang Yuanqing and said:

"I bought a private lesson this afternoon to absorb the power of the sun on Jixin Island. The Stargazer will accompany me. Are you interested in joining us?"

Zhang Yuanqing agreed.

He really wanted to ask the experienced Saint for combat skills of the Star Official, and he would have to buy private lessons sooner or later. In addition, Zhao Chenghuang seemed to mainly cultivate the power of Taiyin (yin energy).

So far, he still didn't know how to mainly cultivate Taiyin, stars, and the sun.

It was definitely not possible to upgrade step by step. Zhang Yuanqing guessed that he needed to supplement it with special means. He could just inquire with Zhao Chenghuang and the "Stargazer."

Everyone took a cruise ship to revisit Jiaoren Lake. Zhang Yuanqing blew the oncoming cool wind, recalling the content of the class, and a doubt emerged in his mind.

The Embrace of Nuwa (Wa Huang Zhi Yong) wasn't it the prop of the Palace Master of Zhi Sha?

According to the dean, that prop was excavated by the Great Elder of the Hundred Flowers Association from the Qinfeng Academy instance. How did it fall into the hands of the crazy woman?

This wasn't the main point. Since the Palace Master of Zhi Sha had the Embrace of Nuwa, how could she not know about Nuwa?

Why did she hide it last time when I asked her?

"She knows the existence of Nuwa, so she said that night that the things in Takamagahara might change her fate... This stinky woman, when I leave the instance, I must teach her a lesson..."

Hang her up and beat her! Zhang Yuanqing swore silently in his heart.

"The things you said in class were very interesting," Zhao Chenghuang said.

Actually, the only thing that was really nutritious was the prophecy of the Compass of Light. The others were just speculations and the theory that aliens created the *Lingjing*, which was no different... Zhang Yuanqing said sternly:

"As long as I can pass on the knowledge to everyone, I will be satisfied."

Zhao Chenghuang looked at him silently.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.

If you really shared it, you wouldn't ask for money. You're really shameless... Zhao Chenghuang said lightly: "Nothing."

Soon, Jixin Island arrived. Zhang Yuanqing, Zhao Chenghuang, and the Stargazer jumped to the shore.

Behind them were the sweet and pleasant voices of the official female Saints:

"Goodbye, Heavenly Venerable!"

Zhang Yuanqing did not hesitate and gave them a flying kiss: "See you, my beloved concubines." This caused a burst of laughter like silver bells.

Watching the cruise ship turn around and leave, the ethereal and mysterious middle-aged man joked:

"The last one who was so popular with women was Hua Gongzi (Young Master Flower) Lingjun."

Zhang Yuanqing's expression was serious: "That's my teacher!"

The Stargazer was stunned, his expression suddenly turned cold, and he said:

"By the way, I am also from the Taiyi Sect. Lingjun dated my sister."

Zhang Yuanqing was furious, tore off a corner of his t-shirt, and said loudly:

"Lingjun is insane. I will sever ties with him."

The Stargazer smiled: "You're very humorous."

Zhao Chenghuang had a cold expression and said nothing.

The three of them strolled forward, entered the gloomy forest, and sat cross-legged under a locust tree infested with resentful spirits.

The bugs on the tree were trembling.

After Zhao Chenghuang sat down, he immediately closed his eyes to adjust his breathing. The Stargazer said:

"I am mainly responsible for watching him to prevent him from absorbing too much Taiyin power. In addition to the cost of going to the island, Chenghuang also bought an extra private lesson, allowing me to teach you some skills and knowledge of the Star Official."

This was equivalent to Zhao Chenghuang treating him.

This kid has a cold exterior, but he actually knows how to be grateful. He knows that he owes me a great favor in the killing instance, and he takes the opportunity to repay it a little... Zhang Yuanqing said:

"The Star Official is more inclined to support, right?"

The Stargazer pondered for a moment, "I can only say that the Star Official's combat style is not straightforward. First, let's talk about the skills of the Star Teleportation Technique. Most Star Officials will prepare two props for themselves, one for close combat and one for long-range attacks. They are respectively coordinated with Night Wander and Star Teleportation."

"If you encounter someone who is good at close combat, such as a Fire Master, Swordsman, or Enchanting Demon, use Star Teleportation to kite them and wear them down. If you encounter someone who is not good at close combat, such as a Water Ghost, Musician, or Illusionist, use Night Wander to attack them."

"Our Night Wanderer profession is a hexagonal warrior. Not being strong in close combat is in comparison to professions like Swordsman."

Zhang Yuanqing frowned: "But Star Teleportation consumes a lot of spiritual power."

The common explanation is that the mana bar is not enough.

The Stargazer smiled:

"As long as you mainly cultivate the power of the stars, it won't be a problem. You are already a Saint now, and you should choose a path. We'll talk about this later. Let's talk about the usage skills of Star Divination first.

"Although Star Divination is an auxiliary skill, it is very useful. To what extent have you developed Star Divination?"

Zhang Yuanqing thought for a while and talked about the experience he gained from the battle in the Treasure Pavilion.

"Using the target's facial features to verify your plan... Not bad, not bad. You are very talented. You have mastered the correct use of Star Divination after being a Star Official for more than a month. I only knew that Star Divination could be used this way after the teachings of the Taiyi Sect's predecessors."

The middle-aged teacher carefully examined Yuan Shi Tianzun, as if he saw a superb jade, and praised his talent greatly.

Zhao Chenghuang's brows furrowed slightly.

"In terms of your current level, the development of Star Divination can be considered the ultimate. When you reach level five, the feedback of facial features will be clearer. For example, you can see the scene of your death in a bloody disaster. At the same time, you will learn Star Gazing," the Stargazer said.

"Next, I will explain the characteristics of the Star Official at this stage."

This is the same as the function of the Yata no Kagami (Eight-Span Mirror), which can predict death and other scenes in advance. This profession of Star Official is very suitable for hiding behind the scenes and calculating, engaging in some conspiracies and tricks... Zhang Yuanqing listened patiently.

"Because of Star Divination and Star Gazing, Star Officials are terrible chess players. They can see the direction of all things in the world through Star Gazing, so they can plan in advance. For example, because of my sister, I want to kill Lingjun, but Lingjun is the sect leader's son, so I can't do it.

"So I watched the sky at night and found that he would attend a banquet in the future and have a romantic affair. Well, isn't he in Songhai? So I began to find evil professions in Songhai, passing him information, or more subtly guiding him, to let him sneak into the banquet and go on a killing spree. Of course, there are many micro-operations in this, for example, the evil profession I want to find must be one who has a feud with Lingjun or is of a fierce nature and leaves no survivors... Oh, Yuan Shi Tianzun, your face doesn't seem to be very good?"

"No, it's nothing..." Zhang Yuanqing's face turned pale, and ten thousand *cao ni ma* galloped in his heart.

He thought of the Pure Yang Sect Leader.

The Stargazer continued: "For example, you find through Star Gazing that you will be in danger in the near future. The stars will give a vague hint of where the danger comes from and what the danger is.

"At this time, you have to start planning, who the enemy is, what the danger is, what means and helpers can effectively contain the enemy, plan step by step, and finally survive successfully... Oh, Yuan Shi Tianzun, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm nothing..."

"No, your face is pale."" Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath: "Teacher, how do you counter this ability of the Star Official?"

"Unless you can know all the opponent's plans, there is no way. But we are Star Officials, and Star Gazing is mutually exclusive. It depends on who is more powerful. Then you have to mainly cultivate the power of Taiyin. When you reach the Dominator stage, you can restrain the Star Official." The Stargazer earnestly explained the knowledge:

"Taiyin symbolizes secrecy. You can tell from the 'Night Wander' skill. The power of Taiyin can hide from the Star Official's deduction."

Zhang Yuanqing's mind was in a mess, and a doubt that had been buried reappeared in his heart.

Is the Devil really dead?

The Devil is a half-step Supreme, even if he doesn't mainly cultivate the power of the stars, his Star Gazing skills are extraordinary.

He left so many things, role cards, a black full moon, an electronic watch without a strap, and treasure maps given to his confidantes... Is he really dead?

Is his father, Zhang Zizhen, really dead?

The twin Lieyang's (Fierce Sun) level may not have reached the demigod level, but it is at least the peak of the Dominator. His father is also a Night Wanderer. He doesn't know what he mainly cultivates, but he also has a backup plan.

Judging from the current clues, he has been planning for several years after the Compass of Light was contested. His cause of death is unreasonable. His funeral was handled very simply... Is he really dead?

Was the Pure Yang Sect Leader sneaking into the banquet really a coincidence?

As soon as he entered Qinfeng Academy, the Qianhe Group sent Asano Ryo to ask for help. The connection between Takamagahara and Qinfeng Academy surfaced. Was this also a coincidence?

Also, the leader of the Dark Rose is also a Night Wanderer, a very high level one. The Little Sun is such an important treasure, yet we easily intercepted it?

Did we really intercept it?

The person who disguised himself as the Devil knew Black Impermanence and knew everything that happened here, perfectly matching the identity of a chess player. Who is he?

I can't think about it anymore, I can't think about it anymore, my sanity is dropping like crazy... Zhang Yuanqing's mind was in a mess.
