After a journey of more than a month, Lu Fan's figure had long since left the White Dragon Dynasty.
However, he did not know where he was, only that this place was not under the jurisdiction of the White Dragon Dynasty.
The Spirit Realm was boundless, and Chen Banxian had instructed Lu Fan to travel west to reach the Tongtian Academy.
He had been confident at first, but after traveling for several months, he still hadn't found any clues.
Lu Fan had even begun to suspect that the Tongtian Academy did not exist in this world, and that Chen Banxian had merely spoken casually.
Upon arriving at a city, Lu Fan walked in slowly. This was one of many cities he had experienced, and he was accustomed to it.
After strolling around the city, Lu Fan went to a tavern.
"Guest, what would you like to order?" the waiter asked, being quite polite.
"A pound of white wine, three pounds of beef!"
Lu Fan casually said, "Also, I'd like to inquire about something. Where is this place?"
"This is Baishui City!"
The waiter replied, "Guest, you must have seen it when you entered!"
"I naturally know it's Baishui City!"
Lu Fan nodded. "What I want to ask is, which power governs Baishui City!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the tavern looked at Lu Fan, smiling. They hadn't expected Lu Fan to ask such a question.
"Young brother, this is the Taiyan Dynasty!"
A man chuckled. "You must be from out of town, to not even know this!"
"Taiyan Dynasty?"
Lu Fan nodded slightly. Just as he had guessed, he had long since left the jurisdiction of the White Dragon Dynasty.
"If I'm not mistaken, young brother, you must be from a small dynasty!" the man said with a smile.
"Are there distinctions between large and small dynasties?"
Lu Fan was slightly surprised and curious.
"Naturally. Ordinary small dynasties are insignificant before super dynasties!" the man stated confidently.
"Does this mean that in the super dynasties, there truly are Sages?"
Lu Fan asked, even more curious, as these matters were quite important to him.
"Isn't that obvious!"
Several other men looked at Lu Fan. "Those from small dynasties are indeed from small dynasties. Within the Taiyan Dynasty, there are not only Sages, but even beings more terrifying than Sages!"
Lu Fan was slightly taken aback, surprised. He truly didn't know what kind of beings were more terrifying than Sages.
"If that's the case, then does anyone know of the Tongtian Academy?"
Lu Fan asked again. His purpose in leaving the White Dragon Dynasty was to go to the Tongtian Academy. Now, after a month, he still hadn't found it.
"Tongtian Academy?"
Everyone in the tavern was startled and surprised. Although they had heard much, they had never heard of the Tongtian Academy.
"Young brother, I think you've come to the wrong place. Within the Taiyan Dynasty, we've never heard of a Tongtian Academy!"
Several men spoke directly, their expressions becoming more serious.
"It seems I need to ask elsewhere!"
Lu Fan gave an awkward smile. According to Chen Banxian, he was sure he hadn't gone in the wrong direction, but now it seemed it wasn't that simple.
"You just said you were going to the Tongtian Academy?"
At this moment, a woman stepped forward, dressed in a white dress, exuding an otherworldly aura.
"That's right!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly. "Does the lady happen to know?"
"Of course, I know of the Tongtian Academy!"
Hu Yu nodded. "But why are you going to the Tongtian Academy?"
"Naturally, to study!"
Lu Fan gave an awkward smile. Although his strength had reached a great level, according to Chen Banxian, he was still too weak. If he could enter the Tongtian Academy, he would surely achieve something.
"Since that's the case, I'll take you there!"
Hu Yu said seriously. "But do you have anything to offer as a reward?"
Lu Fan was slightly stunned. He hadn't expected the woman before him to ask this.
"Spirit artifacts, Sage artifacts, that sort of thing!"
Hu Yu said earnestly. "If you have any, take them out!"
"Miss, can't you see? He's from a small dynasty. How could he have such things!"
Several men beside them chuckled, looking down on Lu Fan.
"I do have a few spirit swords!"
Lu Fan said, and then took out several spirit swords from his Qiankun bag. When he left the imperial city, Linglong had given Lu Fan a Qiankun bag containing many good things.
Looking at the spirit swords before her, Hu Yu was also startled. Although Lu Fan was from a small dynasty, the items he carried were extraordinary.
In the tavern, several men looked at Lu Fan's Qiankun bag, their hearts stirred. Especially those spirit swords, which made them even more eager.
"Give me one, and I'll take you to the Tongtian Academy!" Hu Yu said with a light smile.
Lu Fan said no more, directly handing over a spirit sword. "I hope the lady will keep her promise!"
"Naturally!"
Hu Yu snatched the spirit sword, her face full of joy. With such a spirit sword, her strength would surely increase significantly.
Not long after, they left the tavern and headed out of Baishui City.
Meanwhile, in the tavern, many men exchanged glances, revealing sinister smiles.
"That girl just now is probably not a good person. That kid has a lot of good things on him!"
The bald man said, "If we act together, we'll surely be able to snatch them!"
"I was thinking the same thing!" the lean man agreed.
In this Spirit Realm, wealth should not be flaunted, or it would be coveted. Lu Fan had committed a great taboo.
In an instant, several men chased after them.
As Lu Fan and the others had just left the city, Hu Yu casually pointed in a direction and prepared to proceed.
"East?"
Lu Fan asked suspiciously. "Isn't it west?"
"Of course not!"
Hu Yu said earnestly. "The Tongtian Academy is to the east!"
Lu Fan was a little confused but did not dare to be negligent. He had no map, and perhaps he had indeed gone the wrong way.
"Young brother, don't be fooled by her!"
At this moment, several bald men stepped forward, their demeanor arrogant.
"Why are you here?"
Hu Yu's brow furrowed. She hadn't expected these people to chase after them.
"I think you girl, don't know the location of the Tongtian Academy at all!"
The bald man said coldly. "You just want to trick the kid out of his Qiankun bag!"
"Ridiculous, I think you are the ones who came for the things inside the Qiankun bag!"
Hu Yu said coldly, and then looked at Lu Fan. "Don't be afraid. Since I've taken your things, I won't let them harm you!"
Lu Fan stood aside, frowning. If these people were truly after the Qiankun bag, then this world was too chaotic.
"Little girl, I think you have some skills!"
The bald man smiled. "Why don't you stop pretending? Let's act together, take care of this kid, and then split it equally, how about that?"
"Ridiculous, I am not such a shameless person!" Hu Yu drew her spirit sword.
