"Last time, didn't you say that all the space passages were destroyed? Later, the bald man said that there was another two-way passage in the city of Lidou. How can we go back if we don't go there?"
Qin Zhao smiled and said, "What I said last time was that under normal circumstances, we need to find a space passage to go back." He looked at Xu Qian with a smile, "But when did I say that we are ordinary people?"
Xu Qian was speechless. Don't say half of the words and leave the other half.
"There's no rush. Before I go back, I want to ask you something first."
"What can't we say after we go back?" Having come to this point, Xu Qian was afraid of having long nights and many dreams. In this orc continent, the number plate cannot be used. Only by returning to the Tang Dynasty can he feel completely safe.
"Go back? Haha, when you return to the Tang Dynasty, you can recite the number silently three times and you can go back to China directly. How can I talk to you?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Qian stood up immediately, ready for a fight at any time. Lin Qiaoni also reacted and immediately used her powers to move two pots of green plants around her in front of herself and Vivian.
"Don't be nervous. I knew you were from China. If I wanted to attack you, there was no need to wait until now!" Qin Zhao said while using gestures to signal Xu Qian to sit down and drink tea.
Xu Qian thought that this was indeed the case. If Old Man Qin was hostile to him, he didn't actually need the immortal cultivators around him to take action. As long as he didn't save them at that time, the bald city lord could kill them.
"What do you want to ask?" Xu Qian is not worried about any questions from the other party at all. He is just a student and does not know any major secrets of China. Even in the Special Branch Bureau, he is just an external recruit who has just joined and knows very little. Extremely limited, not as knowledgeable as a civilian in a branch. As for his mysterious origin, even if the other party asked, he really didn't know, but he still hoped that the other party could give him some information.
Seeing that Xu Qian could let go of his emotions and drink tea so quickly, Qin Zhao nodded with soft eyes. He first asked Lin Qiaoni and Vivian to go out to the room outside to wait, and then asked the people around him to set up a sound barrier to prevent outsiders from eavesdropping.
"Are you interested in joining our Imperial Academy of Immortal Cultivation in the Tang Empire?"
Xu Qian almost dropped the teacup in his hand. Did you hear that right? Join the Immortal Cultivation Academy of the Tang Dynasty?
One of the immortal cultivators from the Tang Dynasty introduced: "Dean Qin is the dean of our Royal Academy of Immortal Cultivation."
Xu Qian looked puzzled and asked, "Aren't you the chief minister of the Tang Dynasty? Why did you become the dean of the Immortal Cultivation Academy again?"
Qin Zhao smiled and said: "Both are. To ordinary people, my identity is the chief minister of the cabinet, and to the world of cultivators, I am the dean."
"You're not even a martial artist, right? You're just an ordinary person. How could you hold a position like the dean of the Academy of Immortality?"
"You don't need to know this level yet, but my identity is absolutely true." Qin Zhao introduced one by one: "This is Teacher Liu Qingsha Liu, this is Teacher Huo Yuanchu, and Tong Bu No, Professor Tong and Professor Shen Chongchen." Qin Zhao turned to the two immortal cultivators who were carrying the bridge for him, "They are students from the academy, Sima Kun and Lang Shou."
Xu Qian saluted the six people one by one. The etiquette of the Tang Dynasty has also been internationalized and modernized. Everyday people shake hands, but the etiquette in the world of immortality is an ancient ceremony, which is somewhat similar to the "cross-hand salute", but the gestures are different, with eight hands. The fingers are straightened together, the left hand is stacked on the right hand, the two thumbs are raised towards each other, the arms are straightened, and the arms are slightly bowed. This is what Xu Qian just learned when Vivian massaged Xu Qian, otherwise he wouldn't know how to deal with it at this time.
Everyone returned the greeting, except Liu Qingsha who ignored Xu Qian at all.
Even the students are in the Tengyun realm, so this Immortal Cultivation Academy is so awesome. Xu Qian secretly smacked his tongue in his heart, but he couldn't understand the state of these teachers.
"Since you know that we are from China, why are you still recruiting us? Are you asking us to betray China and provide you with information?" Apart from this, Xu Qian could not think of any other reasonable explanation. Moreover, Datang did not have any criminal record. The Dongshan Branch's protective formation was broken because Datang planted a spy.
"No, I won't let you do this."
"Then what do you want me to do? Datang and China are in a state of hostility. Do you want us to assassinate top Chinese officials?"
Qin Zhao shook his head and said with a smile: "The Tang Dynasty and China were not actually hostile, but had a cooperative relationship and were even allies."
"Impossible!" Xu Qian didn't believe Qin Zhao's statement at all. If you kill me and I kill you in the two worlds, can they be cooperative allies?
"Old Qin, I thought you were smiling and kind, but I didn't expect you to fool me like a child." As soon as he said these words, Xu Qian immediately felt that something was wrong. The appearance of himself and Qin Zhao looked different. Three or even four generations later, in front of Qin Zhao, he is indeed just a child.
Qin Zhao denied: "This involves a lot of secrets. It's not the time to tell you yet. I can only say that everything is not what you see now."
If others don’t tell Xu Qian, it’s hard to ask. Qin Zhao continued: “Furthermore, our Immortal Cultivation Academy is independent of the Tang Dynasty. It doesn’t care about worldly affairs and only focuses on cultivating immortals. You can also understand it as a large-scale Immortal Cultivation Academy. Sect. Under normal circumstances, it is not involved in the affairs between Datang and China, unless the problems between the two parties have risen to a level that must be solved by immortal cultivators."
Xu Qian frowned and said, "Then why do you want me to join the Immortal Cultivation Academy? You don't want me to go to school, right?"
Qin Zhao said slowly: "Of course we don't ask you to learn. We ask you to become a teacher. Of course, if you are interested in our teaching, you can also study as a student at the same time."
"Teach? Let me be a teacher?" Xu Qian was shocked. The two students present were at least at the Tengyun realm. How could I be qualified to be a teacher if I was only at the Qin state of mind?
"My level is so low, what can I teach?" Xu Qian expressed the question in his heart.
"The biggest difference between the Royal Academy of Immortal Cultivation and the major sects of Immortal Cultivation is this. The so-called let a hundred flowers bloom and not stick to one pattern. As long as it is outstanding in a certain field, it can become a teacher and teach the essence of this field."
Xu Qian also understands this statement. For example, a math teacher may be worse at Chinese than all students, but it does not prevent him from becoming an excellent math teacher. This is specialization in the art industry.
"But what do you like about me?" Xu Qian didn't think there was anything particularly outstanding about him, outstanding enough to teach monks in the Tengyun realm.
"When I first saw you trying to break out of the prison, I noticed that you had a unique way of refining your body. Later, I continued to observe and found that with your physical strength, you can make up for the gap of at least two small realms in your cultivation. This point This is true even when facing orcs who are known for their physical strength."
Indeed, Xu Qian, who had just entered the first stage of Qin Xin Realm, was able to kill Ye Teng Zhong, who was equivalent to the advanced level of Qin Xin Realm. This can be said to be something beyond common sense in the world of immortality. Xu Qian himself has not yet realized that the stronger his demonic cultivation is, the more obvious its role will be in battle.
"You want me to teach you body training?"
Qin Zhao smiled and said: "Yes, you can at least show off your talents in this field. Of course, I believe you should have other talents, but they have not been revealed yet. If you are willing, you can also teach them together in the future."
Xu Qian lowered his voice, "If I don't agree, you won't take us back, right?" He finally understood why Qin Zhao wanted to save him, and then had to send out an invitation before going back. Wasn't this just forcing him to agree? ? Xu Qian, on the other hand, is the one who can't stand threats from others the most.
If the other party shows that this is what he means, he will immediately leave with the two girls. At worst, he will find a way to fight against the big city.
"No, even if you don't agree, I will take you back together. But after I go back, you will be in a hurry to leave. I also have important things to deal with, so it is difficult to have time to discuss this matter."
The other party did not show his fangs, and Xu Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is a serious matter, and I still have to think about it."
"It seems that you are really not interested." Qin Zhao said helplessly.
"Why did you say that?"
"According to your temperament, if you are interested, such as when you entered the Special Branch Bureau, you should be concerned about the benefits you can get."
Xu Qian frowned, "Are you investigating me?"
Qin Zhao lowered his eyes slightly, "The Royal Academy of Immortal Cultivation is a very important component of the Tang Dynasty. Even if you are a local monk in the Tang Dynasty, you must undergo a background check if you want to join. The Special Branch will also investigate you."
Xu Qian thought for a moment and realized that the Special Branch had indeed investigated him, and even now, the investigation has not ended. Although he was quite angry that he was being investigated secretly, there was nothing he could do about it. The worst he could do was ask for more benefits. But in the face of Qin Zhao's invitation, Xu Qian really couldn't agree to it and didn't even have the slightest idea.
