Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Two people in Qingshui Town entered the academy in succession. They were both "ordinary people" in the eyes of the general public. Those at the bottom of the society yearned for the academy even more. Especially after Qingye and Ye Shiqi brought Haoling Jiuyao down the mountain from time to time to provide medical treatment and free medicine, there were indeed many ordinary people like Qingye who passed the trial and entered the academy.

Because Qingshui Town is the nearest populated place to the academy, its size has gradually expanded over the years. As a very successful businessman, Ye Shiqi teamed up with Xiangliu and Qingye, and not only took back his own properties in Qingshui Town, but also took over two-thirds of the newly expanded areas in one fell swoop.

Qingshui Town used to have only two streets, but now after its expansion, it has more than just five streets. The flow of people is even more complicated, and all the major forces in the Great Wilderness are involved. If Ye Shiqi, Xiangliu, and Qingye did not rely on the name of the academy, they would not be able to compete with those forces outside.

As for those who gradually passed the trial later, Jiang Xinxin and Shi Ying naturally could not teach them alone, so they only took charge of some of the more important courses, and the basic courses were handed over to Qingye, Xiangliu and Ye Shiqi. It just so happened that one of them was from the human race, one was from the demon race, and one was from the god race, so they corresponded one to one with those who came to study.

As for why Hao Ling Jiuyao was not considered, please, she can't even manage herself, so Jiang Xinxin can only send her to help manage the housework in name only.

But she didn't think it was a bad thing. Since coming to the academy, except for the fact that she was worried at the beginning that Lao Mu could not support Ma Zi and Chuan Zi by himself, she later saw that Lao Mu was doing well on his own, and even because the clinic had two prescriptions for treating colds developed by Qingye, the business became more prosperous. She almost forgot about Lao Mu and the clinic.

If Qingye hadn't often asked Ye Shiqi a question when he took her back on vacation, she would have thought Qingshui Town was just a place for entertainment. Therefore, when Xuan, who went by the alias Xuan, came to Qingshui Town with Hao Lingyi, Haitang and Lao Sang, two followers, and a group of servants, she didn't notice them at all.

In recent years, Xuan has traveled many times, always in the name of looking for Hao Ling Jiuyao. He also brings Hao Lingyi with him when he goes out. Jiang Xinxin has to admire him for being such a clever little boy.

Speaking of which, nowadays, the disciples of the academy are secretly watched by various forces in the Great Wilderness. Kings like King Haoling and King Xiyan think that the academy should of course be taken seriously, but the disciples who come out of the academy should serve them.

Therefore, after the two major powers had tested the academy and found it to be very difficult and would take a lot of manpower and resources to destroy, they tacitly waited for the first batch of disciples to walk out of the academy, while at the same time sparing no effort to encourage others to take part in the trial.

The reason why Xuan went out this time, besides under the pretext of looking for Hao Ling Jiu Yao, he also wanted to get close to the disciples of the academy so as to lay the foundation for his future uprising when he returns to the country.

Xuan had quite a few spies of his own in Qingshui Town, and they had managed to find Chen Rong’s army base several times in the past. Unfortunately, after Chen Rong’s army split up into smaller units and learned more sophisticated planting methods, they had almost disappeared in the wilderness.

Xuanxuan openly runs a pub, and none of his neighbors sell this kind of food, so under the management of Lao Sang, the pub's business is quite good. Naturally, he also gets a lot of useful information from everyone's daily chats.

For example, the academy would have a seven-day holiday every two months, during which time almost all students would go down the mountain and come to Qingshui Town to play; for another example, in the newly expanded streets, the shops with water cloud patterns on their plaques were opened by the academy's disciples; most importantly, there was a spiritual stone left over from ancient times in the center of Qingshui Town, which could know the people and affairs of the world.

Hao Lingyi still looks like a young girl of thirteen or fourteen years old. She is Princess Hao Ling who is used to good things, so naturally she doesn't think much of a place like Qingshui Town. However, before she could say any derogatory words, she smelled the sweet fragrance of pastries and was immediately speechless.

Knowing that she had a strange personality, the maid Haitang understood that she was interested in the cakes sold in the shop ahead, so she took the initiative to say, "Miss, why don't I go and see what the difference is between the cakes in Qingshui Town and the ones we have at home."

Hao Lingyi nodded modestly to show her agreement. However, it was not possible to buy the pastries just because one wanted to, otherwise why would there be such a long line in front of the door?

Hao Lingyi stood by the road and endured the various looks from passers-by. She was losing her patience, but still did not see Haitang coming back. She immediately got angry: "What a lousy snack! You actually made me wait like this!"

"Just wait. I will go back and tell my brother to take over their shop!"

It was rare to hear someone boast like that, and the people around couldn't help but say something: "Young lady, you are indeed dressed richly, but this pastry shop is not something that anyone can get their hands on. I'm afraid your brother doesn't have the ability to take over the shop!"

In Hao Lingyi's heart, Xuan was naturally a perfect person. Not only was her status extremely noble, but her abilities were also excellent. However, she did not expect that when she came to this small Qingshui town, someone would treat Xuan and her face like this. She could not help but pull out the decorative whip from her waist and swung it hard at the person who had just spoken.

That man didn't expect that such a delicate and pretty girl could be such a reckless person who would take action without even telling anyone in advance. His original intention of stirring up trouble was immediately aroused, and he was also intending to make a big deal out of it, so he dodged flexibly and deliberately lured Hao Lingyi to rip up other people's shops. After Hao Lingyi "showed her female power" and destroyed five stalls in a row, Haitang, who was queuing, finally heard her angry shouts and rushed over to stop her.

But Hao Lingyi is the legitimate Princess Hao Ling. As no other princess was born in the royal family of Xiyan, the value of her identity as a princess has risen even more. Especially since the whereabouts of Princess Hao Ling is still unknown, so she would never put herself in a difficult position, even if Haitang came over and blocked her hand.

Haitang felt that it was not appropriate to go out today, so she moved closer to comfort Hao Lingyi and said, "Your Highness, His Highness Xuanxuan has instructed us not to cause any trouble..."

After hearing Haitang mention Xuan, Hao Lingyi finally regained her sanity. However, she looked at the mess she had made, snorted coldly, pointed at the man lying on the ground holding his head and wailing, and said, "This man has offended me, Haitang, break off his hands and let him know how much I am troubled!"

Before Haitang could make a move, the man lying on the ground quickly stood up and complained: "Qingshui Town is not a place for outsiders like you to make a scene at will, and I only said a few words that the snack shop is not to be trifled with!"

Hao Lingyi was furious, but everyone around her agreed with that person's words. Haitang looked around, and immediately a maid came to tell her the cause and process of the incident. Although it was indeed their princess who spoke first, their princess was indeed offended.

At the moment, Haitang can only pay money to compensate the implicated vendors, and can only hope that Xuan will come forward to resolve subsequent matters.

And the one they were eagerly waiting for, Xuan, spent two spirit stones under the spirit stones in Qingshui Town to inquire about the news about Hao Ling Jiuyao.

Xuan called himself a businessman named Xuan, but the person he was looking for had a flower on his forehead. The knowledgeable old man Lingshi knew that the person in front of him was the famous Princess Haoling, and he immediately guessed the identity of this "Xuan".

But the person that Xuanxuan used all his spiritual power to find, who appeared in the spirit stone, was actually a middle-aged man with some temperament but very ordinary clothes.

When Elder Lingshi saw the man, he said, "This man is called Sixth Brother. He is in Qingshui Town right now. His family has opened a medicine shop in the town, and he is also fortunate enough to be accepted as a student of the academy."
