Chapter 2022: Dao And Fortune Seeking (2/2)

“Try your best now, I won’t help you a second time.” Li Qiye told her.

Yao Ting was frightened by the sudden opportunity. She never thought about having a chance like this normally, but it has landed on her today.

Nevertheless, she took a deep breath after hearing him and calmed her mind. She sat down and closed her eyes in order to reach for the dao with her mind. She no longer cared for the mushrooms and simply tried to search for the dao.

Many students were shaken after seeing this. They have heard about Li Qiye beating Ye Miaoxue before. Most didn’t like it and some thought that he simply relied on his position to bully a student.

However, after seeing him destroying the tree’s barrier so easily, they understood that he was the real deal. No teacher from the academy was weak.

“Let’s go.” Li Qiye smiled and went on with the group after seeing Yao Ting in a state of meditation.

“What a shame, not picking mushrooms after reaching the top but just sitting there meditating. Wasting such a good opportunity, she can meditate in any other places.” Some students felt that this was a waste of time.

“Sigh, let’s go someplace else.” Since none could reach the top, they all gave up eventually and left.

The students came to find treasures, herbs, and artifacts. Very few actually dao searched in this place since they believed that it would be a waste of time.

In their eyes, they could meditate wherever and whenever. This wasn’t the case for treasure hunting.

The teachers didn’t interfere with their choices. They simply led the students in and the students needed to walk on their own path in order to carve out their own future.

The main goal of the tea party for the academy was to use this wondrous land as a place to search for the dao. They hoped that the students could cherish this opportunity. Nevertheless, they didn’t stop the students from treasure hunting and wasting this chance.

On a side note, this was also the reason why students with humble upbringing loved the academy. They had freedom and the chance to have a piece of the pie.

In the great powers, this type of sacred land could only be enjoyed by the experts in the sect. They weren’t as generous as the academy, letting the students share everything. Of course, this was predicated on whether the students were capable enough to grab the treasures.

Many students were filling their pockets with items, especially the ones traveling with Six-sword and Rumination.

This big group made it to a different peak and found many geniuses from Emperor Mansion waiting around.

It was shrouded in fog with a tea tree on top. It was ancient with thick barks just like dragon scales. Moreover, the cracks between the barks emitted a faint fragrance of tea.

Young tea leaves were magically growing on it with different levels making it look just like a paG.o.da. The leaves were also golden in color, quite a beautiful spectacle.

Tiny laws floated around each of the young leaves like immortal silks. The tree looked full of spirituality because of this appearance.

Furthermore, the leaves were also different. On the bottom level, each leaf only had one tiny law circulating around it. On the second level, two laws; the third, three laws… The very top layer actually had twelve laws circulating around each leaf.
