Time was like quicksand in the gaps between his fingers, passing by inadvertently.

A day's worth of time was nothing more than a blink of an eye to a cultivator. After the Freshmen Competition ended, just as Liu Mubai had said, most of the students started to fight for the position of instructor, but very few of them were acknowledged by the instructor.

Qin Shaojie, on the other hand, was not in a hurry and walked around Holy Flame Academy with Liu Mubai.

Although the two of them had already quickened their pace, they were only barely able to understand the structure of the Holy Flame Academy. Perhaps, Liu Mubai was not clear, but during the process, Qin Shaojie had to sigh in his heart, thinking that the Holy Flame Academy was not as simple as everyone thought it to be. The four mountain peaks encircled each other, forming an extremely large ancient formation.

It was impossible for people who were deep inside to see through it, and even some people with eyes would find it difficult to discover its secrets. At least, in Qin Shaojie's opinion, with Great Yan Dynasty's background, he was completely unable to see through the secrets hidden within.

A person qualified to build such a formation was definitely not a simple person. thought that this array would be able to unleash a very powerful force, and the energy would be so strong that even the sect's sect protecting array would be mediocre. After all, the entire formation wasn't formed purely by humans. These four mountains, this area, the lake, all of this was formed by nature, so this formation even borrowed the power of the heavens and earth.

At first, Qin Shaojie thought that the great array of the Holy Flame Academy was used to gather the Sky and Earth Profound Qi to speed up the cultivation of the cultivators, but after this round of walking, he did not think so.

It was just that Qin Shaojie was not sure what was hidden, why such a powerful ancient array had appeared in the Holy Flame Academy, but maybe the current Principal of the Holy Flame Academy did not fully understand it.

On the second day, Liu Mubai did not go together with Qin Shaojie, but instead, headed towards the place she had locked onto, the location of her instructor.

Although the academy had given everyone a month to choose between themselves, no one had such confidence that they would be able to keep the teacher slots for themselves. After all, this year's students were just as Zhou Tian had said, truly outstanding. At the very least, compared to the previous sessions, they were much more outstanding.

Without Liu Mubai nagging him in her ears, Qin Shaojie was not used to it. Fortunately, he was a relatively independent person, so speaking of such a state of mind was a good thing.

All of the coaches were basically at the peak of Zol'Ou and Ural Peak. However, most of the freshmen weren't clear on the specific locations of these coaches, so they naturally had to look for them along the way.

However, Qin Shaojie did not head straight for Zhuo Ao You mountain and Wu Lai mountain. After all, his target this time was not these two mountain peaks. From the information Liu Mubai had gathered, this old man named Su Baichen was not standing on top of the four mountain peaks.

According to what Liu Mubai said, most of the time this Su Baichen would be in an artificial courtyard inside the Sacred Heart Lake in the Holy Flame Academy.

This Sacred Heart Lake was obviously not hard to find. As one of the few great lakes in the Holy Flame Academy, even if one was a new student, they would know more or less about it.

"Did you not think that the Eight psycho has already appeared? I wonder if there will be nine psycho s in this session? "

During the journey towards the Sacred Heart Lake, Qin Shaojie naturally heard quite a few other news, but what made him a bit surprised was that this year's batch of eight psycho s had already appeared. It should be known that only a day had passed, and many of the highly regarded students like Liu Mubai had yet to make a move, he did not expect that under all these circumstances, the owner of the eight Tattooed Soul had already appeared.

Qin Shaojie did not ask what level of spirit soul Liu Mubai was. After all, everyone had their own secrets. If they were willing to tell him, perhaps Liu Mubai would have meant it, and since she did not take the initiative to mention it, Qin Shaojie would not ask too many questions.

Just like before, Qi Ming, Huang Shan, Chen Yun, and Chen Yun from the Tiangyou City did not see any trace of them, nor did they hear any news about them. If the four of them were considered the top of the younger generation in the Tiangyou City, then they would appear to be extremely ordinary in the Holy Flame Academy, and even if Qin Shaojie wanted to find them, it would be quite difficult.

From the news that Chen Yuner had brought back, Huang Shan and Qin Feiyang seemed to have other intentions towards him, while Qi Ming and Qin Shaojie had not come into contact with each other, if only Chen Yun had paid attention to him, then Chen Yun would be the only one left, since no matter what, Chen Yun was Chen Yuner's big brother.

Sacred Heart Lake was located at the heart of the Holy Flame Academy and the area of the lake area was not small, it was around a few thousand meters wide. With a glance, one could see that the water surface was sparkling, and the surface of the fish was shallow.

There were all sorts of flowers, plants, and trees growing around the Sacred Heart Lake. Some of the trees were at least a thousand years old, but the powerful vitality they emitted couldn't help but cause others to glance at them.

The high temperature of summer in the surroundings of the entire lake was diluted by the heat, and the trees, flowers and plants around didn't feel tired at all. It even made people forget that it was summer.

When he appeared at the edge of the Sacred Heart Lake, Qin Shaojie's gaze landed on the center of the lake as well. At the center of the lake, there was an artificial island about a thousand square meters large.

The island was lush and verdant, and there were even many towering trees planted on it. From time to time, the sounds of birds chirping could be heard. It was as if this island was a small world of its own. Through those trees, he could faintly see the corners of the buildings on the small island. It seemed that it was indeed as Liu Mubai had said, the person he was looking for was here.

Walking around the Sacred Heart Lake, what appeared in front of Qin Shaojie was a winding wooden bridge.

This wooden bridge was built on top of the Sacred Heart Lake, and it led to a small island in the middle of the lake. It was also the only way to get to the island.

After all, Qin Shaojie's strength was still far from being enough to fly over.

"Right now, I am also more interested in this Su Baichen."

Qin Shaojie stopped outside the bridge, it was not because he did not want to go over, but because there was something strange leaking out from inside the bridge, if he was careless, there would be a problem.

If it was anyone else, they would have already stepped on it. However, Qin Shaojie discovered that there were some extremely strange veined patterns on the bridge, which looked like living tadpoles, continuously swimming on the bridge. However, these lines were rather shallow and did not penetrate deep into the bridge. Coupled with the light, it was extremely easy for others to ignore them.

However, what made Qin Shaojie cautious was that if he remembered correctly, it was an ancient formation that he had encountered in his previous life. Once he stepped inside, these formations would be activated. Although it was not a killing array, a powerful oppressing power would surge in like a tide. This kind of oppressing power was different depending on the strength of the intruder. The purpose of this was just to punish the intruder.

Presumably, many of the disciples of the Holy Flame Academy had suffered at this place, and then retreated after learning of the difficulties.

Although this kind of formation was extremely common in the Primordial Era, and was not a secret even in some sects, Qin Shaojie knew that this place was merely the Great Yan Dynasty, and was a small corner southwest of the Tian Yuan Continent. He was very far from the center of the continent, and he lacked resources as well, not to mention the fact that he lacked experts. Under normal circumstances, it would not have been possible for such a formation to appear.

If Su Baichen was the one who laid the array, then Qin Shaojie had to re-evaluate this old man who was underestimated by the crowd. But at least Qin Shaojie was sure that even if Su Baichen did not know how to set up the array, he knew the way to clear it.

"Unfortunately, this sort of spirit formation is not difficult for me."

Although Qin Shaojie was still in his residual soul state, which was too far away from his peak condition, a mere small town like this really wasn't difficult for him.

So, there was no need to force your way in, if Qin Shaojie did not guess wrongly, the array should already be under Su Baichen's control. In other words, unless someone was stronger than Su Baichen, there was no point in forcing his way in.

If hard didn't work, then he had to use a different method.

The corner of his mouth raised into a smile. Qin Shaojie also found a wooden bucket not far away and took some water from the Sacred Heart Lake.

After that, he sprinkled the water onto the wooden bridge.

Every time he sprinkled some water, Qin Shaojie would then step on the water and move forward. Perfection like Water, water is the best way to cure all things, water is the best way to alleviate this kind of formation.

As long as one stepped on the water, one would be able to deceive this big array, and be unable to sense Qin Shaojie.

Therefore, Qin Shaojie was not in a hurry at all.

According to Qin Shaojie's control, the water in the wooden barrel was sufficient enough to walk to the end of the wooden bridge, which was also the small island within Sacred Heart Lake.

Step by step, Qin Shaojie did not panic.

It was currently noon, and in addition to the fact that the majority of the students were looking for instructors on both Zhuo Ao You and Ural Peak, the older students were also unwilling to play around the vicinity of Sacred Heart Lake. Thus, no one saw Qin Shaojie walking on the wooden bridge.

If anyone saw it, especially the seniors and seniors of the Holy Flame Academy and their instructors, they would be shocked speechless. After all, unless Su Baichen was willing, even the instructors could not normally enter the small island.

However, at this moment, on the small island, an old man who was sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked towards the direction of the wooden bridge outside the small island.
