Chapter 89 Daoyuan’s Choice, No Initiative, No Explanation, No Rejection! [5000-Word Chapter]

"You two have performed very well this time, especially you, classmate Lu. You have given us teachers a big surprise!"

After hearing what Chen Fugui said, Lu Chen nodded calmly without commenting.

It's not that he likes to pretend to be a master without saying anything.

It's because there is really nothing to say.

After all, he can't tell Chen Fugui that the reason why I can cultivate sword intent in the Qi training period is just playing games, right?

Besides, what is there to explain about comprehension?

And Chen Fugui looked at the 'cold' Lu Chen, not only did he not think he was too proud, but he thought it was reasonable.

After all, if you can comprehend the sword intent in the Qi training period and dare to attack the Jindan period in the Qi training period.

You are also arrogant!

And Chen Fugui thinks that Lu Chen can be where he is today because he has the kind of pride that is the only one in the world.

After all, without this pride, what can he use to attack the Black Rock King in the Jindan period?

Besides, if you are young and not full of energy, what kind of young people are you!

However, Chen Fugui called the two over to talk about their future plans instead of Lu Chen's personality.

"How much do you know about the four major academies? Do you have any favorite academies?"

Hearing Chen Fugui's words, Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye looked at each other.

Then Lu Chen said, "I don't know much. Please help me solve my doubts."

Chen Fugui nodded, and then talked about the detailed information of the four major academies in the Immortal Alliance.

As for the academies outside the four major academies, it's better not to talk about them.

Because Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye can't go there.

After Chen Fugui's explanation, Lu Chen soon learned the characteristics of the four major academies.

The so-called four major academies of the Immortal Alliance, its predecessor is a mortal dojo opened up by the four holy places of the Immortal Alliance in their respective spheres of influence.

Doing so can expand the influence of the four holy places in the mortal world in their respective spheres of influence, and can help the sects select talents, killing two birds with one stone.

And now, the four major academies have become the main place for the major sects of the Immortal Alliance to select disciples.

In order to select good disciples, many second-rate sects will send some guardian elders in their sects to the four major academies as lecturers.

In exchange for the opportunity to select disciples in the four major academies.

The four major academies not only do not oppose this, but are very happy to see it.

Because this will unconsciously deepen the connection between other sects and major holy places.

Further strengthen the influence of the four major holy places in Jiuzhou.

Based on this point, the characteristics of the four major academies can be easily summarized.

Qinghe Daoyuan, located in the east of Jiuzhou, the holy land sect behind it is Shangqing Dao Palace, which mainly practices wood magic and swordsmanship.

Lihuo Daoyuan, located in the south of Jiuzhou, the holy land sect behind it is Wanye Xianmen, which mainly practices fire magic and alchemy.

Manhuang Daoyuan, located in the west of Jiuzhou, the holy land sect behind it is Jiuyao Tiandu, which mainly practices gold magic and body magic.

Xuanshui Daoyuan is located in the north of Jiuzhou. The holy land sect behind it is Canghai Xuanzong, which mainly practices water magic, earth magic, talismans, and divination.

Although the four Daoyuans have their own characteristics, it does not mean that after you are admitted to a certain Daoyuan, you can only practice the direction that the Daoyuan is good at.

You should know that the so-called major cultivation only means that these Daoyuans are best at teaching this knowledge.

It does not mean that they only have this knowledge.

For example, Bailing who studied at Qinghe Daoyuan.

She is a standard physical cultivator, but she is not studying at the Manhuang Daoyuan, which mainly practices physical skills, but at Qinghe Daoyuan.

But does this have an impact on her?

To be honest, it does.

But not very much.

Because there are also physical cultivators in Qinghe Daoyuan.

Although their teaching in physical skills is not as top-notch as the physical cultivators in the Manhuang Daoyuan.

But it is enough to teach her all the cultivation before the Jindan period.

As for the cultivation after the Jindan period, it has even less impact.

Because when a cultivator reaches this level, all cultivation depends on the cultivator himself.

It is difficult for external forces to help.

Therefore, in a sense, although the four academies have their own advantages and disadvantages, the gap between them is not big.

If the direction in which each academy is best at is compared to a full score of 100 points.

Then they can still reach about 90 points in other places where they are not so good.

The gap with the other three academies is within 10 points.

Therefore, no matter what the students are good at, in theory, as long as they enter any of the four academies, they can get the top training.

After all, the four academies gather the resources of the top several sects in the entire Immortal Alliance and countless cultivation families.

Even in the fields they are not good at, they crush the academies other than the four academies.

Therefore, such a saying has been circulating in the Immortal Alliance.

There have always been only two types of young cultivators in the Immortal Alliance, one is the cultivators of the four academies, and the other is the cultivators that the four academies don’t want.

For most students in the Immortal Alliance, being able to be admitted to the four major academies is not only a reflection of their ability, but also related to their future.

However, nothing is absolute. In the history of the Immortal Alliance over the years, there are still some students who are not from the four major academies who have achieved achievements that have attracted the attention of the four major academies.

It's just that there are not many such examples.

From an objective point of view, the most suitable academy for Lu Chen is undoubtedly Qinghe Dao Academy, which specializes in swordsmanship.

After all, only when he gets there can his kendo potential be unleashed to its fullest extent.

For Mu Xiaoye, Lihuo Taoist Temple is undoubtedly the most suitable one for her.

This is not only because Lihuo Taoist Academy specializes in fire law, but also a very important reason is that Lihuo Taoist Academy, or the Wanye Immortal Sect behind Lihuo Taoist Academy, has a very complete "Red Flame Phoenix" Tribulation' practice method.

Because the person who founded the Wanye Immortal Sect back then was the first generation of Phoenix Tribulation monks.

And the Phoenix Tribulation monks of the following generations will also be trained by Wanye Immortal Sect as future sect masters.

So Mu Xiaoye seems to be at the same starting point as everyone else.

But as soon as she enters the Taoist temple, the gap between her and others will instantly widen.

This gap is multifaceted, including inheritance, resources, system fit, etc.

And it’s also because of Mu Xiaoye’s special attitude towards Wanye Immortal Sect.

As a result, over the years, Wanye Xianmen had been sent to find Mu Xiaoye and her father many times.

If you want Mu Xiaoye to report to Lihuo Taoist Academy as soon as possible, don't waste time studying in high school.

But because of Mu Xiaoye's strong opposition, the matter always ended in nothing.

After all, although Mu Xiaoye has nothing to do with the Wanye Immortal Sect on the surface, he has nothing to do with it.

But in the eyes of others, she is almost the actual future successor of the Wanye Immortal Sect and the young sect leader of the Wanye Immortal Sect.

Therefore, in the face of the slogan of the young sect master shouting "flowers bloom again, no one is young again", he insisted on spending his complete youth in high school.

What can those monks from the Wanye Immortal Sect do who came to persuade her?

be opposed to?

Okay, okay, if you dare to object, right? Then you will be recorded in the young master's notebook!

At present, the young sect leader has not yet gained momentum, so you can still live a peaceful life.

But when the Young Sect Master rises completely, all of you guys who disobey the Young Sect Master, one by one, are ready to report to the boiler room of Wanye Immortal Sect!

Therefore, the people of Wanye Xianmen finally chose to respect Mu Xiaoye's personal wishes and let her study in Luo City for the last three years.

However, considering Mu Xiaoye's safety, Wanye Xianmen still asked the people from Shangqing Dao Palace to protect their young sect leader.

The Shangqing Taoist Palace finally handed over this task to Jindan monk Yu Tianqi.

Otherwise, even if Yu Tianqi wanted to investigate the Black Lotus Rebellion ten years ago in Luo City, there would be no need to open a small noodle shop with an inconspicuous appearance near Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye's home.

How can a Jindan monk really be so free and open a small noodle shop in one place for ten years?

Investigating the Black Lotus Rebellion is Yu Tianqi's personal wish, and protecting Mu Xiaoye is his job.

And this job will end soon as Mu Xiaoye is about to graduate from high school.

Therefore, Chen Fugui and Li Quanquan seemed to be providing future guidance to Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye as volunteers for the Taoist Academy.

But in fact, the only person who really needed guidance from beginning to end was Lu Chen.

Li Quanquan is here to do ideological work for Mu Xiaoye!

He was worried that Mu Xiaoye would know that Lu Chen did not choose to go to Lihuo Taoist Temple, but went somewhere else.

She would also twitch her head and run to other monasteries.

If this is the case, then things will be very serious.

After all, the young sect leader of the mighty Wanye Immortal Sect went to other holy land Taoist temples to study.

Let’s not talk about whether other holy land Taoist temples dare to teach, even if they dare to teach, Wanye Xianmen will never allow such an outrageous situation to occur!

What if the young sect leader is brainwashed by other holy places.

Then won’t the future of Wanye Immortal Sect be dark by then?

So in a sense, Lu Chen's choice of Taoist school this time is related to the relationship between Wanye Immortal Sect and other sects' holy places.

If you are not careful, the entire Kyushu... will be in chaos!

Thinking of this, Chen Fugui and Li Quanquan felt inexplicably stressed.

Before Lu Chen showed such terrifying talent, they didn't feel any pressure yet.

Because they thought that Lu Chen wouldn't be able to get into the Fourth Avenue Academy anyway.

When the time comes, Mu Xiaoye will activate her power within the Wanye Immortal Sect and send Lu Chen to the Lihuo Dao Palace under the Wanye Immortal Sect. Wouldn't that be simple?

But after Lu Chen showed his sword intention, the matter became complicated.

To know what it means for a person to develop sword intent during the Qi training period, no one knows it better than Chen Fugui and Li Quanquan.

Let's put it this way, if Lu Chen is willing to go to Qinghe Taoist Temple, then he has a high probability of competing for the Taoist position of Qingdao Temple.

And Daozi went one step further and became the headmaster of Shangqing Dao Palace.

Although Qinghe Daoyuan did not send investigators to look at the joint examination of the three schools this time.

But they believed that Qinghe Daoyuan must have received the news and would arrive soon to try their best to win Lu Chen to choose Qinghe Daoyuan.

"So Xiao Lu, have you decided which Taoist temple you want to go to?"

Chen Fugui and Li Quanquan looked at Lu Chen who was lost in thought, looking calm and calm on the outside, but very nervous inside.

Because they had already prepared a situation where Lu Chen would choose Qinghe Taoist Temple, and then the two of them would work together to convince Mu Xiaoye to choose Lihuo Taoist Temple.

Although it will definitely be difficult to persuade him at that time, it will be compared to the situation in the future when the two Taoist schools will fight.

Being able to extinguish the flames of the war in this small office is undoubtedly the best situation.

As for Chen Fugui and Li Quanquan's inner thoughts, Lu Chen probably guessed it.

But what the two of them didn't know was that Lu Chen never thought about going to Qinghe Daoyuan from the beginning.

It was true that Qinghe Taoist Academy majored in swordsmanship, but there was no need for Lu Chen to learn swordsmanship in the Taoist Academy.

After all, no matter how powerful the Taoist Academy is, it cannot be stronger than the Qingyun Sect in the game.

Not to mention that as long as he gains experience points, he can improve his sword level.

Even if he wanted to truly practice swordsmanship, wouldn't it be more convenient to find the elders of Qingyun Sect's Hidden Sword Peak than the teachers of Qinghe Taoist Academy?

You must know that ten days in the game only last one day in reality.

Therefore, in terms of training efficiency, he learned swordsmanship in the game much faster than in reality.

Therefore, among the four avenues, Lu Chen was the first to exclude Qinghe Academy.

Without it, it's just because the advantages of this Taoist temple are completely surpassed by the games in the game.

In this way, the only Taoist temples that Lu Chen could choose were the Wilderness Taoist Temple, Xuanshui Taoist Temple, and finally Lihuo Taoist Temple.

The Wilderness Taoist Temple focuses on physical cultivation, although Lu Chen is prepared to dabble in this aspect of cultivation.

But his main focus will definitely be on swordsmanship, so the Wilderness Taoist Academy can also be ruled out.

Xuanshui Taoist Academy specializes in the magic of talismans, divination, and other magical arts. Although Lu Chen knew a certain amount of talismans, he was not prepared to dabble too much in this area.

After much thought, the most suitable place for him... turned out to be Lihuo Taoist Temple!

Lihuo Taoist Academy specializes in alchemy, and Lu Chen is also seriously studying alchemy in Qingyun Sect.

Not to mention that Lu Chen also needed a reason to use his alchemy methods openly and honestly in reality.

At this point, Lihuo Taoist Academy coincided with Lu Chen's purpose.

And if he chooses to join Lihuo Taoist Academy, he can not only integrate the alchemy experience of the two worlds together, but also feed himself in the game.

It can also further improve his status within the Qingyun Sect in the game.

As his status increased, he would gain more benefits within the Qingyun Sect.

Therefore, no matter how he looked at it, Lihuo Taoist Academy was his best choice, bar none.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen told Chen Fugui and Li Quanquan his decision.

"Teachers, I... want to go to Lihuo Taoist Academy."

"ah?!"

Three exclamations immediately rang in the office.

Chen Fugui, Li Quanquan, and Mu Xiaoye looked at Lu Chen with complicated expressions in their eyes.

Chen Fugui was shocked, as if he couldn't figure out why Lu Chen chose this way.

Li Quanquan admired him and seemed to think that Lu Chen had made a certain degree of sacrifice by making this choice.

As for Mu Xiaoye... she was pure joy.

Although everyone was happy that Lu Chen chose Lihuo Taoist Academy, Chen Fugui couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Lu, the sword cultivation department of Lihuo Taoist Academy is the weakest among the four Taoist temples. Do you really want to go to Lihuo Taoist Academy?" Courtyard?"

Lu Chen nodded, and then said seriously: "Yes, Teacher Chen, I am definitely going to Lihuo Taoist Academy."

Chen Fugui was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Why?"

A peerless sword cultivator who understood the meaning of the sword during his Qi training period did not go to Qinghe Taoist Academy, which is rich in great sword cultivators, but chose to go to Lihuo Taoist Academy, which is rich in alchemists.

No matter how you think about it, this is very inconsistent!

You can't say that Lu Chen is not only talented in swordsmanship, but he also has amazing talent in alchemy, right?

Do not make jokes!

Sword cultivator and alchemist, these are completely two directions, okay!

Besides, he had never seen or heard that Lu Chen had a unique talent in alchemy.

Therefore, apart from the word 'love', Chen Fugui could not think of any other reason why Lu Chen chose to go to Lihuo Taoist Temple.

As for alchemy?

What does Lu Chen know about alchemy?

Let him believe that Lu Chen can make elixirs. He would rather believe that Lu Chen is a reincarnated immortal!

At least the latter is more reliable.

Looking at the shocked Chen Fugui, Lu Chen said seriously: "Teacher Chen, I think my talent in alchemy...may not be much weaker than my talent in swordsmanship."

"ah?!"

It seemed that they had guessed that the three of them did not believe what they said.

Lu Chen immediately took out a set of medicinal materials that could be used to refine the Qi Gathering Pill from his storage bag.

And these medicinal materials were apparently bought privately by Lu Chen during this period.

The money... was naturally exchanged for the cultivation resources that Chen Fugui gave to him.

"I have tried to refine the elixir myself in private before, and then I found that refining this elixir... is not that difficult."

With that said, Lu Chen refined the Qi Gathering Pill with his bare hands in front of the three people.

With his current attainments in alchemy and his understanding of Qi Gathering Pills.

As a result, even if he didn't have a pill furnace, he could still easily refine Qi Gathering Pills.

Look at Lu Chen's skillful movements and his relaxed and carefree expression.

The three of them soon learned that this was not the first time Lu Chen had done this.

In the shocked eyes of the three people, Lu Chen actually refined ten Qi Gathering Pills in less than two hours.

Lu Chen took out a medicine bottle, packed the ten Qi Gathering Pills and placed them in front of Chen Fugui and Li Quanquan, and said calmly: "Teachers, you should understand now why I want to go to Lihuo Taoist Academy, right? "

"Alchemy...is indeed a good practice direction for me."

"..."

Chen Fugui and Li Quanquan looked at each other and nodded, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.

Then Chen Fugui looked at Lu Chen and said seriously: "Xiao Lu, teacher, I hope that after you go out soon, you'd better find a suitable opportunity to pass on the news that you can make alchemy."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment and thought of the reason why Chen Fugui asked him to do this.

So he said with a weird expression: "Teacher Chen, isn't this... bad?"

"It's not good?" Chen Fugui stood up directly, adjusted his glasses excitedly and said, "There's nothing wrong with that! In business, don't take advantage of the bastard!"

"Right now, Qinghe Daoyuan must think that you will choose them as your first choice, so even if they want to win over you, they will most likely not give very good conditions."

"But it will be completely different after knowing that you can make alchemy. If you also include your relationship with Xiao Zizi, then Qinghe Daoyuan will definitely feel a huge sense of crisis."

"After all, Lihuo Taoist Academy has a Phoenix Tribulation cultivator like Xiao Ziye, which is enough to cause headaches for other Taoist academies."

"If you, a peerless sword cultivator who is comparable to Daozi, appear again, then in the subsequent Taoist competition, Lihuo Taoist, the ten thousand year old fourth, will really sweep away the previous decline and rise strongly!"

"So in order to prevent this situation from happening, Qinghe Daoyuan will definitely come up with extremely generous conditions to try to win you over, and the same thing will naturally happen to Lihuo Daoyuan."

"Once that time comes, as long as you don't rush to express your position and whet the appetite of these two Taoist temples, they will definitely make crazy advances to you in order to win over you."

"And what you have to do is very simple, that is, don't take the initiative, don't explain, don't refuse, ask for all gifts, and don't give any promises..."

"Don't be afraid. I will collect the gifts and take the blame when the time comes. You can take the benefits. Don't have any worries!"

"Xiao Lu, you must not have any psychological burden. After all, these two Taoist temples are very wealthy, and they are not short of this!"

"Besides, there are many things in this world that others really can't get except for them."

"There is such a good opportunity now. If we don't give them a hard blow, the family education of my family, Chen Fugui, the richest man, will be in vain!"

"Alchemy, hahaha! Who would have thought that a genius who cultivated sword intent during his Qi training period would actually be an alchemy genius in private!"

"A rare place to live, this is really a rare place to live!"

Looking at Chen Fugui who was completely excited, Lu Chen didn't know what to say for a while.

Because if he really followed Chen Fugui's plan, wouldn't he simply use Qinghe and Lihuo Grand Courtyards as bait?

But just like what Chen Fugui said, there are many things in this world that cannot be bought with money.

And as Chen Fugui said, as long as he doesn't take the initiative, explain, or refuse.

The gift-giving was voluntary for Liangdaoyuan, and no one stipulated that he must make a promise to receive the gift.

I have to say that Lu Chen's fishing behavior is a bit unethical.

But fortunately, a flexible moral bottom line has always been one of Lu Chen's many advantages.

In this way, the little psychological burden in Lu Chen's heart... was completely gone!
