Chapter 121: Many Rules In Capital City (2/2)
At the same time, a starlight also shot down from the wood element star and fused with his another consciousness, turning it into a wood god. The wood god had a human head, bird body, bird feet which were stepping on two dragons, and held a willow whip.
A starlight also shot down from the water element star and fused with his third consciousness, transforming into an apparition of a water god that had a human head with red hair, snake body, and held a trident.
The glow of the fire element star shot out and fused with his fourth consciousness, transforming into an apparition of a fire god that had a human face and beast body. The fire god was stepping on two dragons as well and held a fire bottle gourd.
The glow shot over from the earth element star fused with his last consciousness and turned into a human head and snake body apparition of earth god that had two doors behind. The doors even had writings on them but because it was an apparition, the writings were blurred and couldn't be seen clearly.
His vital qi fused with the apparitions of these five gods. His vital qi and star force were actually changing slowly into each other. This situation was puzzling.
”The vital qi converted into star force and the star force converted into vital qi. Is there any change with them converting into each other?”
Qin Mu was bewildered as he carefully experienced it but he couldn't find what was different. He only felt that when his vital qi had converted into star force, he could faintly feel an indescribable force stirring in the starry sky. He was unable to find out what kind of force it was.
And when the star force turned into vital qi, he discovered his cultivation had increased slightly.
”That's not a bad thing.”
He let out a thorough sigh of relief. Even though the circulation diagram of Five Elements Realm still had a little flaw, it was good that he could still cultivate and won't have qi deviation happening easily.
”There's still some time before Imperial College starts their lessons, I should go back to Rain Listening Pavilion and fetch Hu Ling'er over. Furthermore, I also promised to continue seeing patients from Flower Alley.”
Qin Mu walked out of his residence and saw a crowd of scholars walking over.
The area where he was staying was separated from the divine arts practitioners. It was the place where scholars of Spirit Embryo Realm and Five Elements Realm resided. All the scholars that were lower than Six Directions Realm stayed here. Now that Imperial College was opened again, many scholars from previous years had returned from outside. They had entered college earlier than Qin Mu and had dense cultivation but as long as they hadn't breakthrough Six Directions Realm, they would still stay here.
Every year Imperial College give ten places to primary school scholars and it was difficult for primary school scholars to breakthrough to Six Directions Realm within three to five years. Therefore the number of primary school scholars in Imperial College wasn't low.
These scholars passed by Qin Mu and a scholar sized up Qin Mu before asking, ”This junior brother, I've heard an abandoned person from Great Ruins had come here. Do you know where he stays?”
Qin Mu was startled and asked, ”Why is senior brother looking for him?”
The scholar replied, ”Abandoned people are scums who can only be slaves. I never expect the emperor to let the abandoned person be a scholar of our Imperial College. This is an insult to us. We've heard news regarding this matter and are seething with fury, thus we planned to make him back out and leave Imperial College. If he stays here, how would we still have the face?”
Qin Mu's gaze flickered, ”So I see. I have seen the abandoned person before and he lives nearby. Why don't let me lead you there?”
The ten something scholars couldn't help being delighted and all bowed with their hands in front, ”Thanks for the trouble, junior brother!”
”Fellow senior brothers are polite.”
Qin Mu continued, ”I'm also from a famous family in power, yet I have to be classmate with the abandoned person. I'm so ashamed that I couldn't want more than anything to dig a hole to crawl into it. That's right, my surname is Qin.”
”Surname Qin?”
The scholars were all astonished and one of the scholars greeted him respectfully, ”So brother is from Qin Family. The Qin Family of the capital city is indeed an influential family. It's really an insult to be classmates with an abandoned person. Qin Family has lots of good generals and the whole family is loyal and righteous. I may have entered two years earlier than you but I don't dare to call myself as your senior brother. We'll refer to each other as brothers.”
Another scholar laughed, ”My father opens mine in Tiger Travelling Mountain and would also transport a few hundred abandoned people over that are bought from the borders. A few hundreds of them would die every year so we got no choice but to continue buying. Hehe, never would I expect to seek knowledge in the same school with an abandoned person. If my father knows it, he would definitely blow up and say I'm associating myself with a slave.”
A female said, ”I've heard about the matter this time as well. The emperor took the chance to beat senses into his ministers, that's why he had let the abandoned person into Imperial College. He also actually had the desire to swallow up Great Ruins. He admitted that abandoned people were also people of Eternal Peace. Isn't this admitting that Great Ruins is also the lands of Eternal Peace Empire? However, the emperor was inconsiderable and placed the abandoned person in Imperial College, neglecting the feelings of us scholars.”
Qin Mu and these scholars had come to the end of Scholar's Residence as they chitchatted along the way. There was only one courtyard near the end which was secluded. Qin Mu smiled, ”Fellow senior brothers, this is where the abandoned person resides. Please wait a moment.”
He went up to knock on the door and after a while, the door of the courtyard opened and a circular face popped out from behind the door. Seeing Qin Mu, he was startled and smiled, ”Brother Qin…”
Qin Mu pushed the door open and entered it along with everyone, squeezing the scholar with chubby physique in the middle of the courtyard.
Qin Mu closed the doors of the courtyard and secured the door bolts. His expression was like still water, ”That's right. Fellow senior brothers, does Imperial College permit murder?”
The scholars were all startled and one of them broke out into laughter, ”Brother Qin, we're only trying to teach the abandoned person a lesson and chase him out of Imperial College. Is there a need for murder? If we kill him, we'll all be chased out of Imperial College. Just giving him a beating is enough!”
Qin Mu was somewhat not happy and grumbled, ”There are so many rules in the capital city and I can't kill people at will. If it was in our Great Ruins, no one would say anything even if I killed ten something people…”
