White Dragon Academy

The night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, Chen Luo was doing his Qi Circulation in the courtyard as usual.

With the Nineteen Young Master and the initial Royal Family Brain, Chen Luo's cultivation speed had nearly doubled, and the energy absorbed through Qi Circulation each day had also increased by a wisp. The pale blue energy in his body was being consumed more, and his body was subtly undergoing some kind of change.

This change was hard to detect with the naked eye. Chen Luo could feel it, but when he tried to find it, he would discover nothing was there. He only knew that the Black Tiger Fist he struck out was more powerful.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother!"

A voice interrupted Chen Luo's cultivation. A child with a round, tiger-like head was peeking into the courtyard from the entrance.

"Xiaohu, what do you need?"

Chen Luo, who had just finished his cultivation, retracted his aura and asked with a smile.

Xiaohu was Ruan Jianglong's only son. After Chen Luo arrived at the guest room last night, Ruan Jianglong had specifically brought him over to meet Chen Luo.

"My dad told me to tell you that he found out about the White Immortal Cave. He also told me to get closer to you so that when you become successful later, you can take me to become an Immortal." Ruan Xiaohu lived up to his name as a tiger cub; he said exactly what his dad told him, without any reservation.

Chen Luo was amused by this.

He got up, walked over, and patted Ruan Xiaohu's head, asking, "Then do you know where the White Immortal Cave is?"

Coming to see Senior Martial Uncle Ruan Jianglong was the right choice. As the Chief Escort of White Dragon City's largest escort agency, Ruan Jianglong had a very wide network. In just one night, he had found out the information Chen Luo wanted to know and even sent his only son to tell him. Chen Luo naturally saw through the slight bit of careful thought behind it. He wasn't particularly against it; in his opinion, this was only human nature.

If you want others to help you, you must show enough value to be helped.

He currently had this value to be 'invested' in. The process of sparring with Ruan Jianglong yesterday was the best proof of his potential.

"My dad said it's in White Dragon City, but you have to pay money to go there first."

"Pay money?"

Chen Luo was stunned. He hadn't expected that a dignified Immortal Sacred Land would be in a place like White Dragon City, and even operate by charging for lessons. This made him feel like his dream was shattered.

"Where's your dad?"

Chen Luo thought for a moment and decided to go find Ruan Jianglong to ask clearly in person.

"Drinking in the courtyard." Thinking of his own dad, Ruan Xiaohu's face actually showed a look of disdain.

"Take me there."

Chen Luo bent down, picked up Xiaohu, and asked him to show the way.

A moment later, the two arrived at the courtyard where Ruan Jianglong was staying.

"Virtuous Nephew, you're here?"

As soon as Chen Luo entered the room, he saw his Master, Crippled Ma, and Senior Martial Uncle, Ruan Jianglong, eating inside.

Seeing him come over, Ruan Jianglong immediately got up to greet him. Crippled Ma had difficulty with his legs, so he didn't get up, but his gaze also turned towards him.

"Xiaohu told you everything, right?"

Ruan Jianglong had a smiling face, his fierce features filled with the expression of an affectionate elder, completely different from last night. Especially when he saw Chen Luo holding Ruan Xiaohu, his smile became even more enthusiastic.

"Senior Martial Uncle, Master."

Chen Luo first greeted the two of them, and then stated the purpose of his visit.

"Junior Brother Apprentice Xiaohu did tell me about the White Immortal Cave, it's just..."

Chen Luo couldn't exactly say that Xiaohu was too young and couldn't express himself clearly, so he just hinted at it, believing Ruan Jianglong would understand. Hearing this, Ruan Jianglong patted Xiaohu's head and told him to go play by himself.

"Come, come, sit down and talk."

After sending his son away, Ruan Jianglong returned to the table, pulled out a chair for Chen Luo to sit next to him, and even got him a set of bowls and chopsticks.

"Have you had breakfast? We martial artists must eat a good breakfast, otherwise, our Qi and Blood won't keep up, and our entire Martial Path will be ruined."

Seeing this, Chen Luo had no choice but to pick up the bowls and chopsticks and eat with them.

In fact, he couldn't be considered a pure Martial Artist. From the moment he obtained the Royal Family Brain, he had gained aptitude. Although the pale blue energy in his body that he couldn't utilize couldn't be used, it was slowly changing his body. Now, even if Chen Luo didn't eat or drink for three days, it wouldn't affect his strength.

"After you mentioned the White Immortal Cave to me last night, I had my subordinates inquire about it. I got news early this morning."

Ruan Jianglong didn't beat around the bush and immediately brought up the issue Chen Luo was concerned about as soon as he sat down.

"Speaking of which, this White Immortal Cave has some connection to me."

"Oh?"

"The White Immortal Cave is indeed within White Dragon City, and its location is very conspicuous. Your Master and I even went to confirm it this morning..." At this point, Ruan Jianglong looked at his Junior Brother Apprentice Crippled Ma. Regardless, Chen Luo was his disciple, so he still had to respect Crippled Ma's attitude.

"It's the White Dragon Academy."

Crippled Ma picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, stating the location of the White Immortal Cave.

"White Dragon Academy?"

Wasn't that where young scholars studied? Auntie Wang, who sold noodles at the alley entrance, had a son studying at the academy in Shangshui City. In Chen Luo's impression, all academies were for preparing for the imperial examinations, they were places for scholars.

"It is indeed White Dragon Academy. The White Dragon Academy in White Dragon City was founded by the Immortal Master of the White Immortal Cave."

Crippled Ma stopped speaking after saying this, signaling Ruan Jianglong to continue.

"Six years ago, when I was out on an escort mission, I met an extraordinary person. It was thanks to his guidance that my Black Tiger Fist was able to break convention and break through to the Grandmaster realm," Ruan Jianglong recounted his fortuitous encounter.

The fact that the Tiger Might Escort Agency could develop to its current state in White Dragon City was greatly related to that encounter he had back then.

It was just a pity that the Immortal Master back then had only offered a casual pointer and there had been no contact since.

Afterward, Ruan Jianglong expanded the Tiger Might Escort Agency and met the upper-class dignitaries of White Dragon City. It was only from them that he learned the identity of that Immortal Master.

It was none other than the Headmaster of White Dragon Academy, an Immortal Wandering the Mortal World.

From the moment Ruan Jianglong had his encounter, he entered the sight of this group of people. Later, when his Tiger Might Escort Agency opened, these people also helped a lot, both openly and secretly. The most important reason for this was because of that Immortal Master.

"This Immortal Master who guided me is the Immortal from White Immortal Cave you were asking about."

So that's how it was.

Chen Luo immediately understood.

"In that case, why did Senior Martial Uncle tell me before that money was required?"

"That was the requirement of that Immortal Master."

When mentioning this matter, Ruan Jianglong also gave a wry smile.

"When the Immortal Master first wandered to White Dragon City, he wasn't too ostentatious. It was only because of my matter that his identity was exposed. The dignitaries who learned the news all pulled strings to visit, wanting to become his disciples and seek immortality."

This scene was imaginable; the threshold was probably trampled flat.

These people from the upper class of White Dragon City already had few pursuits, and suddenly seeing the hope of 'Immortality', they all swarmed forward like madmen. Even someone like Ruan Jianglong, who had only met him once, was being elevated by them, let alone the Immortal Master himself.

"These people weren't foolish either; when they went to find him, they were all accompanied by acquaintances. Although the Immortal Master was displeased, he couldn't very well refuse his acquaintances' requests. After being bothered back and forth, he finally established this academy. The purpose was for peace and quiet. The rule of requiring money for entry had two purposes. One was to weed out a group of opportunists, and the other was to use this money to do some things."
