Although there have been many literati who have been arrogant and arrogant since ancient times, such madmen are really unheard of, but the Tianlu Emperor was interested when he heard this, and even allowed this competition, and wanted to solve the question himself.

And so, that unprecedented competition began.

It is said that since ancient times, there is no first martial arts and no second, you must know the teachers and students of Jinlu Academy, among them, there are many Confucians, chess and painting saints, and everyone in the piano and music. It is not without challenges before, but no one has ever challenged the entire academy from the four arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In fact, if it weren't for the permission of Emperor Tianlu Jinkou, even if there were such madmen, it would be impossible for Jinlu Academy to take it seriously.

Before the palace square that day, the Tianlu Emperor came up with a question, and he wanted to write an article on the topic of governing the country and the country, which was limited to three incense sticks.

But seeing that in public, the first incense stick had just been lit, and when several great Confucians of the Golden Deer Academy had not yet mentioned the pen, Lu Qiu walked around the desk, but eight steps, after a moment of silence, he lifted the pen and dipped the ink, and the article was completed in one go, and when the pen was stopped, the first incense stick was less than half.

Emperor Tianlu personally looked at Lu Qiu's article and greatly appreciated it, and at this time, the great Confucian of the Golden Deer Academy had not even come up with the idea of the article, and the victory or defeat naturally did not need to be explained.

After the article, the competition was calligraphy, and the Tianlu Emperor came up with the question again, and put out a large banner that was one zhang long and long, requiring that the word "emperor" be written on it, which must be full, and must be written into a book without pause.

This problem suddenly stumped the two famous calligraphers of the Golden Deer Academy, but Lu Qiu was confident, let people pour ink into a large vat, and then tied the thatch into a pen, soaked in the ink for three full hours, before taking it out, holding the pen in both hands, in one go, unhappy.

After that, it was even more amazing, Lu Qiu saw that it was getting late, so he proposed to the Tianlu Emperor that the next three competitions be carried out together.

He first had a few hands, posing a Go endgame, and then holding a paintbrush in one hand, plucking the strings in the other hand, and playing a phoenix dance in public for nine days, attracting the domesticated spirit beasts and birds in the palace to hear the piano and come, when the sound of the piano fell, the brush also stopped, and a lifelike picture of a hundred birds jumped on the paper, the picture actually matched the sound of the piano, and for a time it made many viewers present have an illusion, as if they saw the phoenix dancing together.

This kind of skill is simply terrifying, and the Tianlu Emperor is amazed.

At this time, several Go saints of the Golden Deer Academy also shook their heads and admitted defeat, admitting that they could not solve the endgame set by Lu Qiu.

This previous competition in the Palace Square also ended with Lu Qiu's complete victory.

Since then, Lu Qiu and Shouren Academy have really become famous, and Emperor Tianlu even personally invited Lu Qiu to join the court to serve as the crown prince and prince, but Lu Qiu politely refused.

However, this also made the Golden Deer Academy and the Three Princes lose face, and since then they have laid the root of the curse.

And Xue Cheng was one of the first few students who followed Lu Qiu in Shouren Academy.

After that competition, Lu Qiu became famous for Tianlu, and it also attracted many people to challenge.

One day, a mysterious person who did not know his identity and name came to the door to test his literary talent with Lu Qiu, and the two sat down to discuss, and finally the mysterious man was defeated, convinced, and said that Lu Qiu was so wise, it was a pity not to cultivate the immortal way, and he was willing to lead him into the immortal road.

Lu Qiu has been resistant to cultivating immortals since he was a child, politely rejected the mysterious person, and directly stated that he had no talent for cultivating immortals. The mysterious man said that he was sorry, so he took his leave, and before leaving, he left something behind, and said that if Lu Qiu changed his mind, he could come to him at any time.

"If I'm not mistaken, what that person left behind should be what Xue Cheng wants, right?" asked Long Chen.

Lu Qiu nodded: "Yes, it's okay to tell the dean that you are okay, what he left behind is a treasure." The use of that treasure is to change the talent, so that mortals who originally had no talent have excellent qualifications for cultivating immortals. ”

"Oh, that's a treasure. Chen Long raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

You must know that no matter how low the threshold is, if you want to cultivate immortals, the most basic thing is to have talent. As I said before, most mortals are born with an even five elements, and there is no possibility of cultivating immortals.

Those so-called treasures that can easily wash the muscles and marrow are just to improve their physique, but they can't change the fundamental problem, and when used on immortal cultivators, they may be able to make their talents go further, but when used on mortals, they can only make them strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives.

The treasures that can enhance their talents are the most precious ones in the world of cultivating immortals, not to mention the treasures that can enable mortals to cultivate immortals, and they are also treasures with excellent talents. If you want to say that the talent is excellent, it is not only the body, but also the soul is extraordinary, otherwise just the physique is good, and you will not be able to comprehend and practice those special exercises.

If it is really this kind of treasure as Lu Qiu said, it must be a peerless treasure that can change the physical body and the divine soul talent at the same time, as far as Chen Long knows, there are only a few treasures that have this effect, and the worst one of them is also the peerless Emperor Pill at the peak of the Eight Grades. They are all things that are not only useful to mortals, but even more useful to monks.

It's not that Long Chen doesn't have this kind of treasure, but the premise is that he is the Great Sage of the Heavens, the Supreme Ancestor of the Jia family, and the best friend of the Lingxin Dan Sage.

It's no wonder that Xue Cheng wants this treasure, not to mention him, I'm afraid that those princes and ancestors of the Tianlu Empire who respect the Emperor Realm will also be tempted. From this point of view, the mysterious person Lu Qiu encountered may also have a very good background, and may even be a sage. Only a saint like Long Chen existed, and he was willing to give away a treasure of this level.

"Yes, it is indeed an extremely precious treasure. Lu Qiu sighed slightly: "But it is also this treasure that destroyed Shouren Academy." ”

He continued, few people knew about the treasures left by the mysterious man, and it happened that Xue Cheng was one of them.

Xue Ben himself is also the same as Lu Qiu, he is an ordinary person who has no talent for cultivating immortals, but originally as a student valued by Lu Qiu, he was also a talented young man, a gentleman with a righteous heart, and under the influence of Lu Qiu, not only did he not have much reverence for immortal cultivators, but he also had some resistance.

But it didn't take long for Emperor Tianlu to retreat again, and his younger brother Prince Qian, the second prince, was regent, and Shouren Academy was not so good.
