There was a lot of commotion on the discussion board, and undercurrents were surging in Baling City.
The various families and countries used all means to compete for the places in Xiaoxingtan. For those scholars and geniuses above Hanlin, Xiaoxingtan was a higher level of imperial examination.
If the Holy Academy had not prohibited the trading of imperial examination quotas, all countries would be willing to exchange their imperial examination quotas for quotas in Xiao Xingtan.
Xiao Xingtan can increase the number of great Confucian scholars in various major forces, while the imperial examination can only select Jinshi at most. Those who have the potential to be a great Confucian scholar will definitely become a Jinshi.
Some are happy, some are sad.
After learning that the special envoy of Qing State was driven away, the entire Qing State seemed miserable, especially those scholars whose literary rank was higher than that of Jinshi. They often vented their dissatisfaction with the Zong family and the King of Qing at literary meetings, on discussion boards, and in letters.
The reason why the word "holy" is used in holy places is because they are very important and help in canonization.
The scholars of Qing State have reached a consensus that it was the King of Qing and the Zong family who destroyed the promotion path for the scholars of Qing State.
The people of the Zongsheng family, like the Lei family, did not go to Baling City at all, because both families knew that going there would only bring humiliation to themselves.
Some people are still constantly posting attacking remarks on the discussion board, saying what Fang Yun is like and that, and saying that Xiao Xingtan should be shared with all the scholars in the world.
A few people began to respond, but most people laughed at the Zong and Lei families for not having dog meat on the table, and then many people demanded that the Lei and Zong families give away all their wealth or shut up.
However, some people feel that they are wronged.
Zong Wude of the Zong family sent a letter to Yan Yukong.
"Old Yan, you are also from Qing. What do you think about not being able to enter Xiaoxingtan in the future? Anyway, I want to die!"
"Is it your clan that can't enter the Holy Land of Education or is it our Yan family that can't enter?" Yan Yukong asked back.
"You can't say that! Other holy places are other holy places. Fang Yun's small Xingtan is new. Although the power of the holy way inside is not strong, it is very clear. Perhaps you and I can temporarily touch the holy way. This means that it is only a matter of time before you and I become great scholars."
"Then you can ask Fang Yun to open the back door."
"If the people of Qing could go to Fang Yun's Xiaoxingtan, I would shamelessly go to him no matter what. But now, he drove away the special envoy of Qing and let me in right after. It's not good for him, and I feel like a traitor."
"If the king is not upright, the minister will flee to a foreign country; if the father is not upright, the son will flee to another land. Traitors will still enter Xiaoxingtan. You can choose one."
"What about you?" Zong Wude asked.
"I am a Qing citizen when I am alive and I will be the soul of Qing when I die. However, when I become a university scholar, I will visit Fang Yun at Xiaoxingtan."
"Bah! You're worse than a traitor like me!"
It takes a certain amount of time for the holy apricot to bear fruit, at most three to five years, at least one to two months. The various forces are in no hurry and are constantly vying for a place to enter.
As for the current places available, Fang Yun has arranged them for his good friends.
Among them, each great scholar can enter alone for one day, while three university scholars need to share one day. As for the scholars under them, ten, twenty or thirty people can share one day.
However, those who have the best relationship with Fang Yun can enjoy extra treatment. For example, although Zhang Poyue is only a grand scholar, he can enter alone for one day.
Fang Yun used new apricot trees to surround the southeast corner of Xiaoxingtan into an independent space, which could also obtain the power of Xingtan but was separated from the outside world.
Fang Yun chose an appropriate time and let Yang Yuhuan, Nunu and Ao Huang enter the day.
If this news were to spread, it would certainly cause an uproar and even anger all the conservative scholars. However, now only Fang Yun knew about this, and no one could hold him responsible.
Afterwards, Yang Yuhuan was extremely grateful to Fang Yun, but Fang Yun smiled and said that it was all he should do.
Yang Yuhuan was better after entering. She silently recited the scriptures of the saints and absorbed the power from the Xiaoxingtan. But Nunu and Ao Huang were different. They fell asleep as soon as they entered.
While everyone was vying for a place in Xiaoxingtan, the Double Ninth Festival arrived quietly. Fang Yun did not participate in any literary gatherings, but went to the Kong family alone.
On the second day, Fang Yun left the Confucius Temple without being discovered.
Only a few people on the discussion list talked about the day when the head of the Kong family invited Fang Yun to the Confucius Temple. They all speculated what Fang Yun did at the Kong family, but most people ignored it.
That involves the first family of the human race and the current first genius of the human race. Since both parties are unwilling to publicize it, they should avoid talking about it.
After returning from the Double Ninth Festival, Fang Yun entered the Wenxing Longjue Palace at the mouth of the Yangtze River and practiced for a full twelve days.
Afterwards, Fang Yun began to formally prepare to enter the Holy Burial Valley.
Fang Yun first sent Yang Yuhuan and other close people to the Blood Mang Realm, and communicated with the Blood Mang Will, asking the Blood Mang Will to protect Yang Yuhuan and other family members. Afterwards, Fang Yun took Yang Yuhuan to see the Dragon Devouring Vine, and asked Yang Yuhuan to take out a drop of Dragon Saint blood and give it to the Dragon Devouring Vine.
The Dragon-Eating Vine likes dragons the most. After eating the blood of the Dragon Saint, it was very satisfied and regarded Yang Yuhuan as a friend.
Fang Yun inspected the Blood Light Realm. After finishing everything, his body was wrapped in the Blood Light's will, blending with the earth and sinking rapidly.
After dozens of breaths, Fang Yun finally arrived at the core of the Blood Light Realm.
The Blood Realm is a huge planet. The temperature in the core is much hotter than the surface of the sun. Everything is melted, and even the emperor cannot stay for long.
But Fang Yun was right in it, no different from being on the ground, and all forces that could harm him were isolated.
Below Fang Yun is Fu Yue.
At this moment, Fu Yue has shrunk to a body length of one hundred miles and is absorbing the power of the earth's core. At the same time, it is radiating another strange power outward, making the Blood Light Realm continuously stronger.
Bansheng Fu Yue's body was extremely powerful. Even without any external protective power from his body, his body temperature did not rise at all in this environment where the temperature was more than seventy times that of boiling water.
Fang Yun stood on Fu Yue's neck. The entire Fu Yue was surrounded by hot and strange magma-like substances, and the whole picture could not be seen clearly.
However, Fang Yun could feel that countless phantoms of stars were surrounding Fu Yue.
Fang Yun lowered his head and could only see a three-foot square area of black skin on Fu Yue's neck, but it was harder than any steel in the world.
"Fuyue, Fuyue, this time I go to the Sacred Burial Valley, it's very dangerous, so in order to get out alive, I'm going to borrow something from you. This time when I enter the Sacred Burial Valley, I will definitely go to the Blood Tomb Cemetery of the Ancient Demon Clan, and I'm sure I'll find some divine objects and treasures that are suitable for you. I'll return them to you with interest when the time comes."
As Fang Yun spoke, a translucent carving knife appeared in his hand.
Spring and Autumn Pen Projection.
The original body of the Spring and Autumn Pen is the literary treasure of the Second Sage.
This sword and pen, once held by Confucius himself, fell behind Fu Yue's neck.
Fu Yue's hard skin split open like tofu, and a large amount of blood gushed out like a blood fountain.
Fang Yun's Sea-Swallowing Shell was suspended in the air, greedily absorbing Fu Yue's blood like a monster.
After the blood entered the Sea-Swallowing Shell, it began to change, shrinking and separating, and finally turning into drops of golden holy blood.
