Chapter 225: The Academy Opens, Immortal Mount, White Deer in the Clouds

Daying Dynasty, Bailu Academy.

As the middle ground between Daying Dynasty and Wentian Palace, Bailu Academy not only has a special status, but its existence is also full of mystery.

Because Bailu Academy is not only opened once every hundred years, but also the number of disciples selected each time is very small, often not more than a hundred people.

It can be said that it strives for excellence and selects the best from the best.

Thanks to this, even those Bailu Academy disciples who were lucky enough to enter the school at the beginning and were eliminated later will often be given special attention by Daying Dynasty in the end.

Therefore, Daying Dynasty and the wild land outside Daying Dynasty are proud to be able to enter Daying Dynasty.

That's right, Bailu Academy not only accepts people from Daying Dynasty, but also people who are not from Daying Dynasty. They can be said to be teaching without distinction.

Therefore, at this time every year, people from all over the world will gather here.

This makes Bailu Academy, located in the east of the imperial city, lively.

Outside Bailu Academy, although tomorrow is the day when Bailu Academy starts to recruit students.

But now, many people have gathered in front of the academy and in the surrounding inns and restaurants.

In theory, a curfew has been imposed throughout the Daying Dynasty.

They should not appear at night.

But there are exceptions to everything.

The Bailu Academy and its surrounding areas are not restricted by the Daying Dynasty.

And because of the special status of the Bailu Academy, even ordinary students will receive olive branches from many dignitaries and jump into the dragon gate.

Therefore, the area outside the Bailu Academy is one of the most prosperous areas in the entire imperial city.

Most of the people waiting in front of the academy gate at this time are ordinary people with no family background.

In addition, those who appear in the inns and restaurants outside the academy are all children of families with some background in the Daying Dynasty.

But even among the dignitaries, there are also gaps between each other.

Outside the Bailu Academy, Zuixian Tower.

Zuixian Tower is five stories high and backed by the Osmanthus River.

The beautiful scenery here, coupled with the fact that it is not far from the Bailu Academy, makes Zuixian Tower a favorite place for many dignitaries to visit even on ordinary days.

In the Daying Dynasty, not everyone can be named "Xian".

Zuixian Tower Zuixian Tower, it is said that there was an immortal drinking by the river here.

Hence the name.

No one knows whether this rumor is true or not, but the fact that neither Wentian Palace nor the Daying court investigated the name of Zuixian Tower actually shows something.

Although Zuixian Tower has five floors, most people can only enter the first two floors.

Starting from the third floor, certain qualifications are required.

The third floor can only be entered by second-level cultivators, and the fourth floor can only be entered by third-level cultivators.

The fifth floor can only be entered by masters of similar academies, descendants of Wentian Palace, and the current emperor and other people who stand at the top of the Daying Dynasty.

And this rule has been set since the appearance of Zuixian Tower.

Some people even said that the fifth floor of Zuixian Tower contains the secret of becoming an immortal.

No one knows whether this is true or not.

Because everyone who enters the fifth floor of Zuixian Tower avoids talking about it.

In addition, those who can enter the fifth floor are either rich or noble, and ordinary people cannot ask them.

Therefore, Zuixian Tower is full of mystery, whether among ordinary people or dignitaries.

At this time, on the third floor of Zuixian Tower, a large number of young talents from the Daying Dynasty gathered here.

Because the current emperor Zhao Zhongming has no offspring, the people with the highest status on the third floor of Zuixian Tower this time have become the descendants of the four major families in the Daying Dynasty.

Haoran Cui Family, Baiju Yue Family, Tianjian Li Family, Shanhe Xu Family, these are the four most powerful families in the Daying Dynasty.

In addition to these four major Gu Xiu families, there are also many children from other small families gathered on the third floor.

These people are divided into four areas according to their relationship with the other four major families, thus occupying several positions on the third floor of Zuixian Tower.

At the position representing the Cui family, a young man was drinking wine with a gloomy face.

He drank one cup after another, as if he wanted to get himself drunk.

Seeing him like this, some of the Cui family's children wanted to persuade him to drink less.

But due to their status, they finally chose to keep silent.

Even the people who were also Cui family's children could not persuade this young man, let alone the other disciples of small families who were attached to the Cui family.

"Hey, isn't this the unicorn of our Cui family, Cui Lingfei, the eldest young master of Cui."

"But how can the dignified eldest young master of the Cui family get drunk here like a drunkard at this time?"

"Oh, look at my memory, I almost forgot that the contemporary patrol envoy of your Cui family has fallen, don't blame me."

A man with a fair face and a feminine temperament came to Cui Lingfei's side and teased him with a folding fan.

Hearing his words, Cui Lingfei, who was still drinking, suddenly stood up.

He looked at Yue Yuehua, the direct descendant of the Yue family, with cold eyes, his expression was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip down.

"Yue Yuehua, what do you mean?"

"What do I mean?"

Yue Yuehua smiled, not hiding his contempt for Cui Lingfei, and said frivolously: "It's nothing, I just feel that some people are obviously the direct descendants of the four great families, but now they act like stray dogs without a home, which is embarrassing."

"Why, can your Cui family only rely on one patrol officer to support it? The death of a patrol officer is like the sky falling."

"If the ancestor of your Cui family knew about this, he would be so angry that he would crawl out of his coffin because you guys lost your soul because of the death of a patrol officer."

"What do you know!"

Cui Lingfei walked up to Yue Yuehua with his eyes wide open.

At the same time, an illusory white aura began to appear around Cui Chengyun.

This energy is very strong, as if it can restrain all the demons and evil spirits in the world.

And this is the Cui family's signature skill, the aura of righteousness.

If ordinary people saw this scene, they might have retreated.

But Yue Yuehua just didn't buy it.

Because the Yue family, one of the four major families, is not inferior to the Cui family at all.

Even because there was a rift between the two families not long ago, the Yue family was even happy to see the Cui family in trouble.

After all, Yue Ziqi, a third-level cultivator of their Yue family, was captured by Cui Chengyun of the Cui family and Yuwen Hongguang, a third-level cultivator, not long ago.

Although that was because Yue Ziqi himself did some taboo things behind their Yue family's back.

The Yue family could not protect him either.

But as a family that has been passed down for thousands of years, the Yue family has many means to pass on Yue Ziqi's cultivation to others.

Therefore, the Yue family really wanted to capture Yue Ziqi themselves, and let him contribute his last part to the family before handing him over to Emperor Zhao Zhongming.

However, what happened in the Huaiyang Prefecture Demon Suppression Division not long ago completely disrupted their plan.

Not only Yue Ziqi, but also Yuwen Hongguang, the patrol envoy of the Huaiyang Prefecture Demon Suppression Division, also died in that prison break.

Although Yue Ziqi was not killed by the Cui family themselves.

But the Cui family participated in the whole process of capturing Yue Ziqi and preventing the Yue family from interrogating Yue Ziqi.

This is also equivalent to making the Yue family lose a third-level great cultivator in disguise.

Such a contradiction is naturally not something that can be explained in a few words.

Therefore, looking at Cui Lingfei who was so angry that he almost wanted to fight with him, Yue Yuehua was not afraid, but felt indescribably refreshed.

He even felt that this was not enough. He did not look at Cui Lingfei, but turned his head to look at the other Yue family members behind him, and said with a smile: "Do you think he looks like a wild dog with its tail stepped on and its voice and expression stern? Hahaha!"

Hearing this, the other Yue family members immediately laughed.

It's just that they dared to laugh, but the other ordinary family disciples who followed the Yue family did not dare to laugh.

Bang!

Faced with such a provocation from the Yue family, let alone Cui Lingfei, the other Cui family members could not remain calm at this time and stood up one after another.

In response, everyone in the Yue family also stood up and confronted them.

For a time, the third floor of the entire Zuixian Building became tense.

Just when the two sides were about to fight, a voice came from the side.

"If you fight in Zuixianlou, then even if your fathers come forward, they may not be able to save you, so calm down."

Xu Shihuang, the eldest son of the Xu family, calmed down the Yue family and the Cui family instantly.

Because everything was just as he said, if they really dared to fight here.

Then even if their fathers came forward, they might not be able to save them.

After all, there were children from the four major families who made trouble in Zuixianlou.

And the final result was that the other party was severely beaten for a while, and the family did not dare to say much.

From this, we can also see how deep the background of Zuixianlou is.

Think about it, how could a restaurant that can be opened next to Bailu Academy not have some background?

Despite this, Cui Chengyun still said to Yue Yuehua in a cold tone: "We will handle the affairs of our Cui family ourselves, and we don't need you, an outsider, to interfere."

"Now we have captured several extraterritorial demons. Through them, we should soon find the guy who killed my uncle."

"We will soon let the world know what the consequences of offending our Cui family are."

After saying this, Cui Lingfei sat down again.

After hearing these words, Yue Yuehua, who knew how to control the scale, finally stopped provoking.

After all, if he continued to provoke, Cui Lingfei would really get angry and fight with him in Zuixianlou.

That would not be good for him.

As both sides quieted down, the people who were watching the show next to them finally retracted their sight.

In the crowd, Yi Hanqing listened to the conversation between several people, and combined it with the information he had collected so far.

I always feel that the person who killed Cui Chengyun and destroyed the Huaiyang Prefecture Demon Suppression Division is most likely his junior brother Lu Chen.

Because among them, only Lu Chen should have the strength to completely crush the third-level Gu cultivators.

Even if others can defeat the third-level Gu cultivators, they may not be able to keep them.

Thinking of this, Yi Hanqing couldn't help but sigh.

In the same trial, some people can only hide and hide, and behave themselves.

Some people can go straight to the core area of ​​the enemy.

The difference between people is sometimes greater than that between people and dogs.

I just don't know if my junior brother will also come to participate in this academy exam.

Judging from my junior brother's behavior, he probably wouldn't choose to enter the academy to look for clues about the alcohol bug...

Just as Yi Hanqing thought.

At this time, Lu Chen had not only arrived in the imperial city, he had even arrived at the gate of White Deer Academy.

Thanks to the identity of 'Liu Qiming', a scholar in Huaiyang Mansion, Lu Chen encountered many investigations by the Demon Suppressing Division along the way.

But he was not exposed and came to the imperial city easily.

After arriving at the Imperial City, Lu Chen did not go to the White Deer Academy immediately. Instead, he pretended to be having fun and explored the surrounding area of ​​the Imperial City.

Under his careful investigation, he really discovered a lot of valuable information.

One is the headquarters of the Zhenmo Division located in the Imperial City.

Not only is the scale of the Imperial Town Demon Division larger than that of the previous Huaiyang Prefecture Demon Division, there are also more great monks hidden in it.

The second is the imperial palace in the imperial city.

Although Lu Chen could not enter the palace directly, he could feel the dangerous aura coming from the palace even if he only observed slightly from the outside.

And this was something Lu Chen had guessed in advance, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of entering White Deer Academy first.

Use this to get to the palace safely.

Apart from these two places, the only other place Lu Chen paid attention to was White Deer Academy.

This was also the only place in the imperial city that Lu Chen found difficult to explore.

The last similar place was the immortal's residence in Yuzhu Forest.

It can also be seen from this that there are definitely some big secrets hidden in the White Deer Academy.

Otherwise, the restrictions here would not be so exaggerated that even he, who possesses the 'Fate · Nine Innate Qi' and 'Green Lotus Eyes', would not be able to detect it.

"Sir, we are here."

Hearing the noise outside the carriage, Lu Chen and Shangguan Yunmeng stepped out of the carriage together.

Di Ting followed the two of them, while King Meow Meow stood on Lu Chen's shoulders.

Although he was disguised, his face had undergone many changes.

But Lu Chen and Shangguan Yunmeng still showed outstanding temperament, giving people the feeling of being young men from aristocratic families.

However, their temperament is not outstanding in the current White Deer Academy.

Because there are many more high-profile people around them.

Lu Chen looked at the thousands of people gathered in front of the White Deer Academy and immediately closed his eyes.

The next second, the 'Nine Qi' on these people appeared in front of Lu Chen one by one, like a colorful oil painting.

Not long after, Lu Chen found the person he was looking for among these 'Nine Qi'.

‘Only seven gangsters came...’

Lu Chen looked at the hidden people in the crowd and secretly wrote down the faces of all these people.

Then he looked to another place.

In that position, a man with a handsome face and frivolous behavior was chatting and laughing with the maids around him.

Lu Chen looked at him and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Then he walked towards the other party with Shangguan Yunmeng beside him.

At the same time, Yi Hanqing, who was chatting with the female cultivator from Lingyin Valley, suddenly felt a familiar sword intent fall on him.

He looked in the direction of Jianyi in surprise, and soon saw the changed Lu Chen.

Then he narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming to understand something.

However, he did not talk to Lu Chen who was not far away, but continued to chat with the 'maid' beside him.

The same scene also happened to Lu Chen.

He just told Yi Hanqing that he had arrived, not that he wanted to meet him here.

Therefore, to outsiders, Lu Chen seemed to just go to a place with few people and rest for a while.

Not long after Lu Chen stopped, the originally closed door of White Deer Academy opened.

Then a white deer with a halo on its back and its body and limbs wrapped in clouds slowly appeared in front of everyone.

This white deer is not only the master of Bailu Academy, but also the former mount of True Immortal Gu Yue, Yunzhonglu.

Feeling the scent of the deer in the cloud, Lu Chen immediately looked at its panel curiously.

[Name: Yunzhonglu]

[Cultivation:? ? ? 】

[Grade:? ? ? 】

【describe:? ? ? 】

"Um?"

As if sensing something, Yunzhonglu looked past the crowd and glanced at Lu Chen.

Those eyes... were full of interest.

PS: The prototype of the deer in the clouds is the deer in the sea of ​​​​clouds in the fantasy beast Palu~
