Leiyun College is built against the mountains. It can be said that there are numerous peaks standing in clusters. Between each spiritual peak, there are mountain roads connected to each other. If you look down from above Leiyun College, you can see countless roads crisscrossing between the mountains, which is extremely spectacular.
In the entire Leiyun College, there are hundreds of peaks. Each spiritual peak has numerous buildings where many disciples of Leiyun College and the college's elders and other high-level personnel live.
Of course, the elders of Leiyun College are lofty figures. The peaks they live on are by no means ordinary mountains. Even around the spiritual peaks of these elders, there will be many disciples on guard, not allowing outsiders to set foot easily.
Led by the veteran disciple Li Yuan, Yunxiao and his group first passed through the mountain gate of Leiyun College, and then passed one spiritual peak after another. Along the way, the beautiful scenery inside Leiyun College made these geniuses exclaim in succession. This even made everyone temporarily forget the unhappiness of being ignored by Leiyun College.
From the outside to the inside, it is not difficult for everyone to find that the peripheral peaks of Leiyun College are obviously not as spiritual as the inner peaks. And those outer court disciples are precisely living on these peaks.
The further one goes inside, the more intense the spirituality of the peaks becomes. And the disciples one sees also change from outer court disciples to inner court disciples. Those inner court disciples are all in a hurry one by one. It seems that they are busy all day. Some curious ones may stop to look at the new disciples of this session, but most of them ignore them and go about their own business.
After passing through more than twenty peaks, Yunxiao and the group of new disciples were finally brought to the foot of a very tall spiritual peak. The guide, Li Yuan, stopped here and indicated that they had reached their destination.
This is a very spiritual and beautiful peak. At a rough glance, there are at least four or five hundred buildings on it, enough to accommodate four or five hundred people to practice. In several buildings closer to the foot of the mountain, one can even see small courtyards one after another. There are flowers and plants planted in the courtyards, giving people a very warm feeling.
"Okay, this peak is where you new disciples will practice in the future. Later, you can freely choose the houses you like inside and then decorate them by yourself. As long as you don't tear down the house."
Li Yuan's gaze swept over everyone. Seeing that everyone was listening obediently, he was quite satisfied. "There are many rules in Leiyun College. These rules are posted in every house. You can just read them yourself. In addition, among the hundreds of spiritual peaks in Leiyun College, what each spiritual peak is used for and who lives on it can be seen in the bulletin kiosks. Look, that kind of bulletin kiosk over there. There are many such kiosks in the college."
As he spoke, he pointed to a kiosk not far away. There hung a wooden board with a panoramic view of Leiyun College. There were numerous text annotations on the map.
"That's all. Now, you can go and choose your houses."
Frowning and thinking for a moment, as if there was nothing more to explain, Li Yuan waved his hand and left directly.
To tell the truth, he was assigned to do these simple recruitment tasks this time but didn't get any compensation at all. He had been somewhat resistant in his heart for a long time. If it weren't for the difficult-to-disobey order, he wouldn't waste so much time doing these. You know, this day's time is enough for him to practice a low-level martial art.
"This... This is it? He's leaving just like that?"
After Li Yuan left, all the new disciples were a bit stunned. They had originally thought that the other party would tell them a lot of college rules and tell them where they could go and where they couldn't go, etc. But they didn't expect that the other party would just bring them to their destination and then leave like this!
"This is really..."
Yunxiao's mouth twitched. That feeling of being completely ignored climbed into his heart again. For a moment, he could hardly say anything.
Joining Leiyun College this time can be said to be completely different from the process he had imagined. He had thought that he would be treated like a hot commodity. But at this moment, it doesn't seem to be the case at all.
"Hehe, what's wrong, brother? Is there anything inappropriate?"
Just at this moment, the familiar laughter rang out. It was the fat man who had been silent for a long time. Now that there are no more senior students around, he finally spoke again.
From the beginning of the recruitment to now, the fat man hasn't said a word. At this time, without those senior students, he finally returned to his usual appearance.
Seeing Yunxiao's deep expression, the fat man came forward with a smile and said in a faint voice.
"Nothing. It's just that the real Leiyun College is a bit different from what I thought." Shaking his head, Yunxiao couldn't quite describe that feeling either, but he just didn't feel quite right in his heart.
"Not being taken seriously?" Seeing Yunxiao's expression, the fat man didn't need to ask further and already knew what Yunxiao was thinking.
"Brother, this is Leiyun College. Do you really think that becoming an inner court disciple means you can be taken seriously or even be personally instructed by the elders and high-level personnel of Leiyun College?"
Raising his eyebrows, without waiting for Yunxiao to respond, the fat man continued, "Let me tell you this. Although we are inner court disciples, in fact, we are not essentially different from those outer court disciples. Outer court disciples will be eliminated if they can't reach the Zhenyuan Realm before the age of twenty. And those of us, if we still haven't achieved anything significant before the age of thirty, will actually be eliminated by Leiyun College as well. It's just that the way of elimination is different. But it will only be more cruel than that of those outer court disciples."
Seeing Yunxiao listening attentively, the fat man knew that the other party should have listened. "You, me, and these people. Only when we truly become geniuses far surpassing our peers can we be taken seriously by Leiyun College. You can see, among these people, are there those geniuses with great accomplishment in Zhenyuan Realm that I told you about?"
As he spoke, he also pointed to those new disciples who were walking up the spiritual peak.
"Hmm?" Reminded by the fat man, Yunxiao only then discovered that among this batch of new disciples who entered the college this time, the strongest are at the minor accomplishment stage of the Zhenyuan Realm. As for the few geniuses with great accomplishment that the fat man had told him about, they are actually not here at all.
"Do those people have privileges?" Frowning, Yunxiao immediately understood what the difference was.
"Naturally they have privileges. Those sixteen or seventeen-year-old geniuses with great accomplishment in the Zhenyuan Realm are the ones that Leiyun College needs to focus on cultivating. Do you think they need to go through this perfunctory process like this?"
The fat man's tone was also slightly sour. After all, who doesn't hope to be taken seriously by Leiyun College and thus obtain more resources?
"Okay, okay, brother. Don't be discouraged. We still have plenty of opportunities. If we can reach the great accomplishment stage within a year, Leiyun College will also pay attention to us. Maybe we can even gain the favor of a certain elder and become an elder's personal disciple in one leap."
With a carefree smile, the fat man is still quite optimistic. Anyway, they have already joined Leiyun College. This is a good start.
"Reaching the great accomplishment stage of Zhenyuan Realm within a year? It seems a bit difficult!"
Hearing the fat man's comforting words, Yunxiao shook his head. He was not as optimistic as the fat man.
