Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 201-Chapter 300)

At this moment, the plump old man seemed to receive some order, and he arrived before the sheet-white female instructor who was at a loss as for what to do. He said sternly, “With your character, you are not suited to the job of an instructor. From this moment onwards, you are dismissed from the academy. Go back and pack your things!”


This order did not come from the One Thought master, but the leader of the school of Confucianism, Liu Zhangqing. The other leaders had no objections to this either. A supreme prodigy was about to rise up in the Academy of the Hundred Schools of the Clear River prefecture, so they could not allow her to develop any ill will towards the academy. As a result, the female instructor’s punishment had to be severe.

The female instructor turned even paler. Originally, she wanted to find an opportunity to expel Xiao An from the academy, but never did she imagine it would end up with her dismissal instead. She screeched, “I re-”

The plump old man cut her off sternly. “This is for your sake!”

The female instructor trembled. She was bitter, not stupid. She understood what would await her. Even if she disregarded the consequences of disobeying the school leaders, just the child alone would become a great figure that she could not afford to offend if she was given a few years’ time. By then, if she remembered this grievance of the past, just the slightest revenge would be a great calamity to her. The best thing she could do right now was to quickly vanish from her view and hope that she would not remember her again.

She immediately stomped her foot before storming off. She thought, Just you wait! I will get revenge! However, even she felt like she did not have much of a chance. It was mainly to dismiss the fear in her heart.

Of course, no one knew that Xiao An basically had no concept on these principles of how people treated one another, unless it involved Li Qingshan. She did not feel any anger or hatred at all.

Afterwards, under the lead of the instructors, the group arrived before a building. A forest wrapped around it, making it extremely tranquil. They could smell a special fragrance from afar.

Li Qingshan raised his head and saw the three large words of “Hundred Flavours Restaurant.” He could not help but think about how he had once eaten in the Hundred Flavours restaurant below the Green Vine mountain. As it turned out, the origin of the place was here. That night, he had heard that the Town of Flowing Clouds would be opening again for the entrance examination. Where was it located?

Li Qingshan’s question was answered very quickly, as after a meal in the Hundred Flavours restaurant, the next stop was the Town of Flowing Clouds. It was more than enough for him to witness the close relationship between the Academy of the Hundred Schools and the town. At the very least, the school of Miscellany would not be missing this opportunity to make some spiritual stones.

The town was located in an empty spot on the south-western shore of the island. Although it was in a different place now, the structure was exactly the same as when it was below the Green Vine mountain.



The instructor clapped his hands in front of the gates to the town. “Everyone, you have some free time here now. Please consider which school you plan on enrolling in and make some preparations for the upcoming tests. Please do not leave the town.” Afterwards, he handed out pieces of colourful writing paper. “You all should know the rules. Everyone can only list five schools, and any more beyond that will be rendered null. In four hours, please regroup here.”

Li Qingshan received a piece of paper too. He discovered that the various information regarding elemental affinity was all recorded on there, and there were five blank spots.

PS: I got home a little later than I anticipated yesterday. I became sleepy as hell when it wasn’t even nine, and I slept for almost twelve hours. I’ve finally managed to recover most of my energy, but tidying up my interrupted thoughts took time. It basically took me four hours to write this chapter. But at last, I can continue my dream. I believe this isn’t just my dream. Please, recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, and evaluation tickets! Let’s set off!





Chapter 286: The Five Schools Chosen | Legend of the Great Sage




The afternoon sunlight poured into the bookstore, illuminating the dust in the air.

Under the plaque of “Sea of Books” were a few long tables, covered in books. Sun Fubai had his head lowered as he sorted them. Suddenly, he felt his vision darken. A young man stood in front of the table. He had a robust figure, and while his bronze face was not handsome, he radiated with masculinity.

“Sir, what are you looking for?”

Li Qingshan glanced at Sun Fubai. Hope you are well. He lowered his head to check out the books and almost burst out laughing. The tables were covered with books like “Secrets of the Confucian Exam” or “Eight Methods to the Daoist Exam”. They were not pricey either, just a spiritual stone for one.

“I haven’t decided on the schools to enrol in yet. Do you have any recommendations, uncle?”

Sun Fubai immediately took out a book that gave a brief introduction to each school. Li Qingshan flipped through it slightly and paid a spiritual stone, but he put the book back down. “I’m not good with books. You don’t have any guests right now, so why don’t you give me some recommendations, uncle? I’ll buy another five books according to my needs.”

Li Qingshan placed great trust in Sun Fubai’s experience and moral character. After arriving in the Town of Flowing Clouds, he had rushed right over here immediately, wanting to hear his recommendations.

Sun Fubai was surprised. There were not a lot of people like him. He passed the spiritual stone back to Li Qingshan and smiled. “If you want to buy them, then I’ll explain them to you for free! Pass it over so that I can take a look!” After looking at the colourful piece of paper, he nodded. “Seventeen years old. Not bad, not bad. Do you have any schools that you’d like to join?”

Li Qingshan said, “I’m originally a Hawkwolf Guard, so the school of Legalism would be my first choice. I’ve also dabbled in some Body Practitioner techniques too, so the school of the Military seems like quite a good choice too. I have an old friend in the school of Mohism, so that’s also within my considerations. As for the school of Confucianism and Daoism, they’re both impressive major schools, so they seem to be five.”

Sun Fubai shook his head with a smile. “The school of Mohism is good, but it doesn’t suit you very much. If I’m not mistaken, you practise Gui Water true qi!”

Li Qingshan said, “Yes.” And I even purchased the Gui Water Method of Condensing Qi from you.

“Why don’t I tell you which schools you’re not suited for first?”

“Sure.”

“I won’t go into the school of Mohism. As for the school of Buddhism, I don’t think you look like a person who wants to become a monk. The school of Confucianism prefers Profound Yang true qi, but of course, Gui Water true qi works too. Though, if you want to pass the school of Confucianism’s examination, you’d need to be rather good with literature. At the very least, you need some foundation, or you’ll struggle to pass even if you buy my Secrets of the Confucian Exam.”

Li Qingshan shook his head. Ever since he reincarnated, he had barely read any books at all. He could still recite some poetry and lyrics from his past life, but he knew that was nowhere close to being rather good with literature. And, he had no interest in holding a position in the government either, so it seemed like he could only give up on the school of Confucianism.
