"Interdiate?" Qin Ya let out a dismissive smile and turned to leave. ’Are you kidding ? For a mighty Pill Venerable like to teach, and all I get is the title of an Interdiate Teacher.’
Huaa Que imdiately panicked and rushed forward to grab Qin Ya. "Kid, most of the teachers at Mingxin Academy are Junior-level, and they’re all at least in the Earth Elent Realm! You’re so young; giving you the title of an Interdiate Teacher is already a huge honor."
"Fine. In that case, find soone else more qualified." Qin Ya sneered. As an Alchemist, he valued his pride. ’They want a mighty Pill Venerable to toil away for the re title of an Interdiate Teacher?’ He had one word for that: ’Impossible!’
"Wait! Advanced! The most I can offer is Advanced Teacher." Huaa Que said through gritted teeth, as if making a monuntal decision. "The highest rank is Special-Level, and even as the Mansion Master of Mingxin Academy, I can’t just hand that title out."
"Why not? Aren’t you the Mansion Master of Mingxin Academy?"
"Do you think being the Mansion Master ans I can do whatever I want? Let tell you, every Special-Level Teacher at Mingxin Academy is an Extraordinary Strong Person on par with . You’re only at the Profound Origin Realm. If I gave you the title of Special-Level Teacher, how do you think that would make them feel?" Huaa Que said irritably.
Qin Ya thought about it and had to admit the man had a point. ’Extraordinary Strong People are beings who have transcended the mundane. It would indeed be inappropriate to put them on the sa level as a Profound Origin Realm Martial Artist. Honestly, if soone were to compare a Pill Venerable to a novice who had just learned alchemy, I would feel insulted too.’
"Fine. Advanced it is."
Huaa Que bead with delight, though he was muttering to himself inwardly. ’This has to be the first ti I’ve been so shaless. But it just goes to show how incredible Qin Ya’s skill in the Alchemy Dao is; even an Extraordinary Strong Person like was willing to swallow my pride for it.’
"Here, take this. It’s your Jade Order." Huaa Que took out a cyan Jade Order and handed it to Qin Ya, then led him through so simple registration procedures.
The Master Dao Pavilion was the place where the teachers of Mingxin Academy held their etings. Matters of great influence over Mingxin Academy were discussed and decided here.
At this mont, a Divine Thought spread to the Jade Orders held by every teacher of Mingxin Academy.
"Hm? A new teacher is coming."
Inside a pavilion, a beautiful woman sat on a ditation cushion. Below her was a group of young n and won. So sat upright, their expressions respectful; so were lost in thought, scratching their heads in frustration; while others experienced monts of sudden enlightennt, having clearly gained new insights...
"Alright, everyone, that’s all for today’s lecture. I will inform you of the next class." The woman tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and gave a radiant smile.
.........
On a mountaintop, a gentle breeze rustled through strange flowers and rocks. A white-bearded old man sat quietly on a large green boulder. Suddenly, the Purple Jade Order at the old man’s waist lit up.
"Heh, a new mber has arrived. And it’s a personal notification from that old rascal Huaa Que. It seems this newcor is no ordinary person." The white-bearded old man slowly rose. With every step he took, the exotic flowers and grasses around him withered and turned yellow. In stark contrast, the old man’s full head of white hair instantly turned as black as ink.
In the blink of an eye, the decrepit old man had transford into a handso and elegant young man.
.........
On a lake, a small boat floated like a leaf. A leisurely lody drifted from the boat, echoing between heaven and earth, sounding like a flowing stream, like the calls of birds and beasts...
Suddenly, the flute music stopped. A middle-aged man in green robes erged, his feet lightly tapping the surface of the lake and creating rings of ripples. His movents were as graceful as a swallow’s; in a flash, he leaped onto a cliffside, disappearing from sight after a few more bounds.
............
In the solemn and dignified Master Dao Pavilion, the teachers of Mingxin Academy had all gathered today, speculating on just who this venerable new teacher could be.
"For the Mansion Master to personally call a eting, it must be for a remarkable Martial Arts senior," a bald, middle-aged man said, rubbing his bald head.
"I think so too. I rember the Mansion Master also called a eting last ti Teacher Muh joined Mingxin Academy, as a show of welco."
"Yes, Teacher Muh is one of the few Special-Level Teachers in the Academy. Could it be that this new one is also a Special-Level Teacher? That would be great."
"The Mansion Master is as elusive as a Divine Dragon, showing his head but never his tail. For him to call a eting in the Master Dao Pavilion over a single teacher, it must be so Extraordinary joining us."
"Speaking of which, I’ve never even seen the Mansion Master. I can’t believe I’ll get to witness his esteed presence today," a young man who looked to be in his late twenties said with a yearning expression.
A burly man walked over and laughed heartily. "Haha, Teacher Lin, you’ve only just joined Mingxin Academy, so it’s normal you haven’t seen him. Our Mansion Master hasn’t been seen for years. It’s not easy to catch a glimpse of him."
"Heh, Teacher Lin is a prodigy. To be a Martial Artist at the Earth Elent Realm at such a young age... I’m sure even the Mansion Master will be impressed when he ets you." A female teacher’s eyes sparkled as she spoke with a tone of admiration.
"You flatter . The Mansion Master is the pillar of our Yunxiao Empire. My ager cultivation would surely be beneath his notice," Teacher Lin said humbly.
"Teacher Lin, there’s no need to be so self-deprecating." A gentle voice drifted in as a woman walked in slowly. She was breathtakingly beautiful, yet in a way that inspired reverence rather than profane thoughts. She exuded an aura that inexplicably drew people in, making them want to be near her.
Upon seeing her, all the teachers greeted her respectfully.
"Teacher Yun, you’ve co as well."
"Heh heh, Teacher Yun, have you been well?"
"Teacher Yun, how have your classes been? I bet those young rascals have been keeping you busy."
Teacher Yun responded to each of them, appearing poised and graceful. Seeing this, the young Teacher Lin bowed slightly and said respectfully, "This junior, Lin Yifeng, greets Teacher Yun."
Teacher Yun nodded with a smile. "I’ve heard of you. You’re one of the youngest teachers to join Mingxin Academy in the last decade. I hope you’ll continue to do your best."
Lin Yifeng was incredibly excited. "Thank you for the praise, Teacher Yun! I will definitely work hard."
"Mm, if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can always co and ask ."
Lin Yifeng grew even more excited. ’To beco an Earth Elent Realm Martial Artist at his age was to be considered a prodigy, no doubt. So why join Mingxin Academy as a teacher? Wasn’t it for this exact reason—the chance to receive personal guidance from an Extraordinary Strong Person?’
In truth, being a teacher at Mingxin Academy was far from a tiring chore; it was a position countless Martial Artists in the Yunxiao Empire dread of. The high salary was secondary. Most importantly, not only did one receive the protection of a behemoth like Mingxin Academy, but one could also work alongside so many experts, discussing and exchanging ideas. This was far more effective than training bitterly in isolation.
"Heh, Yun Yu is here too. How co that old rascal Huaa Que hasn’t arrived yet?" A light, teasing voice interjected. The newcor was dressed in white robes embroidered with gold trim, holding a Jade Fan. With eyes like stars and a dashing deanor, he was exceptionally handso.
