Chapter 1136 The Welcome
The people in the hall fell silent after hearing this.
Seeing this, Chen Yang said leisurely, "Besides teaching students, the academy will also provide all teachers with sufficient spirit stones and elixirs every month."
"Ordinary spirit stones, mid-grade spirit stones, high-grade spirit stones, and breakthrough elixirs, as long as you contribute enough!"
As he spoke, Chen Yang took out piles of high-grade spirit stones.
"Those who agree to become teachers now will receive three high-grade spirit stones each."
At these words, everyone was stunned.
High-grade spirit stones!
Three per person?
This was just a welcome gift, and there would be spirit stones every month from now on?
Did Chen Yang… strike a spirit vein mine?
Although Chen Shu knew that Chen Yang had a grand plan this time, he was still startled when so many spirit stones appeared.
However, Chen Shu knew about the abandoned spirit vein, he just didn't expect there to be so many high-grade spirit stones.
"Good! I am willing!"
The first person to speak was Qin Yunlan.
She had originally intended to agree to Chen Yang's proposal, and she had secretly pushed for this matter several times, but the resistance was too great.
As soon as Qin Yunlan finished speaking, the others immediately followed, fearing that the high-grade spirit stones would slip through their fingers.
When the high-grade spirit stones were distributed into everyone's hands, the entire room was filled with joy.
Everyone present today was in the Harmonious Core realm from the Human Race of the Earth Realm. Although a few ancient martial artists had not yet reached the Foundation Establishment realm, Chen Yang was still willing to let them serve as teachers. These people had no shortage of hidden treasures.
"When will the academy officially open? There must be some fanfare, right?"
As one person spoke, many people's eyes fell on Chen Yang.
Such a major event must be celebrated!
Chen Yang slowly shook his head, "It's not appropriate now. The first batch of students will be recruited on a small scale. After improvements are made within half a month, full-scale teaching will begin."
Chen Yang did not reveal all his thoughts. It was already difficult enough to advance this matter, so he handled it cautiously.
The number of the Human Race… was ultimately the priority.
After leaving the hall, Chen Yang distributed some high-grade spirit stones to Chen Shu and the others.
Chen Shu's strength had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment True Person realm, and he had absorbed the vast amount of blood qi from his surroundings in recent days, his strength improving rapidly.
This cultivation speed, in Chen Yang's opinion, was far superior to that of geniuses among the Human Race!
A small breakthrough every few days, and the Harmonious Core realm was within reach!
"For teaching matters, let the Great Elder of the Hidden Sword Sect and Dao Zhi handle it. I will go and receive those who are coming through the spatial passage!"
Chen Yang had received news earlier that along with the departure of some humans from the Earth Realm, another group of martial artists would be coming through the spatial passage.
Old Monster Zhang, who was stationed at the spatial passage, saw Chen Yang and smiled gently, "I've heard about the news of the academy. You can't forget about this old man!"
Chen Yang naturally had not forgotten Old Monster Zhang; he had not even had a chance to thank him for the matter of the Danqing treasures!
After taking a few more high-grade spirit stones from the Tree Tomb space, Chen Yang said, "The task of guarding the spatial passage is rotated, and you will receive spirit stones from now on."
"When you return, the method of Danqing might be hidden. The Human Race in the Earth Realm has very shallow research in this area, so I will have to trouble you to pay more attention."
Old Monster Zhang smiled as he accepted the spirit stones and waved his hand, "Don't worry, don't worry. I did see a few good seedlings before and intended to take them as disciples. With you setting up such an academy, perhaps more good seedlings will emerge."
After they chatted for a short while, a commotion arose at the spatial passage.
A disciple of the Sword Sect peeked around cautiously. Upon seeing Old Monster Zhang, he immediately ran over and handed him the list in his hand.
"Senior Zhang, this is the list. Please take a look, and I'll have someone come over afterwards."
As he spoke, this Sword Sect disciple naturally saw Chen Yang and Chen Shu.
He had seen Chen Yang before when he was in the Sword Sect.
However, upon seeing him again this time, he found that he couldn't quite fathom this fellow Chen Yang anymore.
Out of courtesy, the Sword Sect disciple greeted Chen Yang, "Brother Chen, long time no see. Have you broken through again?"
Senior Zhang was a legendary Foundation Establishment True Person, the Sword Sect disciple knew this.
If Chen Yang had also broken through, he would likely be as strong as Senior Zhang, right?
Chen Yang saw that the other party still remembered him and said with a smile, "Yes, I just broke through not long ago."
Old Monster Zhang's mouth twitched. After scanning the list, he handed it back, "Let them come over. Chen Yang will personally receive them this time, so tell them to be alert."
The Sword Sect disciple was a little puzzled. Chen Yang was personally receiving them?
Old Monster Zhang's words made it sound like a very honorable thing.
After the person left, Old Monster Zhang sighed with a hint of helplessness, "Harmonious Core realm… I wonder when this old man will be able to break through to this realm."
Chen Yang noticed that Old Monster Zhang had changed significantly since his inner demons were resolved, and he even teased himself from time to time.
Just as Chen Yang was about to speak, he saw waves of fluctuations emanating from the spatial passage.
The moment he saw the first person emerge, Chen Yang's face was filled with shock.
"Master!"
A graceful figure appeared in the Earth Realm. Although she was a little uncomfortable from being squeezed by the spatial passage, she immediately spotted Chen Yang.
It was Chen Yang's disciple, Hou Qingzhu.
Hou Qingzhu hugged Chen Yang, her eyes teary, and choked out, "Master, have you abandoned Qingzhu?"
Although Chen Yang and Hou Qingzhu had spent little time together, Chen Yang had spared no effort in teaching this pure-hearted girl.
As more and more people came through, Chen Yang rubbed Hou Qingzhu's little head and said softly, "The Earth Realm is a very dangerous place. Master wanted you to consolidate your strength before coming. Did you receive the things your martial uncle brought you earlier?"
Hou Qingzhu wiped away her tears and sobbed, "I received them. Martial Uncle said those spirit stones were bought with Master's life, so Qingzhu is reluctant to use them."
Chen Yang tapped Hou Qingzhu's head, handed her over to Chen Shu who was beside him, and said with a wry smile, "How many spirit stones can you absorb? Master has plenty!"
In a short while, as more people arrived, Chen Yang recognized many familiar faces.
Fei Zijin, Zhuo Zehan, and Wu Hanyu came to Chen Yang's side and handed him the letters they carried.
"Senior Zhou said that General Liu and General Su have too low a cultivation level and are not suitable for passing through the spatial passage, so they were stopped."
Chen Yang held the letters in his hand, and tear stains had not yet faded from them.
The handwriting on the envelope was not dry, indicating that they had written the letters in the Sword Sect.
The thought of the people he missed being beyond this spatial passage made Chen Yang's heart clench.
However, Chen Yang quickly regained his composure and placed the letters into his Tree Tomb space.
