Profound Literature grotto-heaven.
A large river flowed east, a large ship was moving down the river.
"Jiang Ru Bi carries the sky, reflecting the red jade of the human heart! Emperor Gu Wen's talent is unimaginable. To think that he was able to compose such a poem at the age of seven. "Su Qi Han sighed as she looked at the wide river.
She was the daughter of a minister, she had a graceful figure, delicate and pure beauty, cultured and elegant, and had a scholarly temperament. Other than her beauty, her most praiseworthy trait was her talent. She was full of poetry and well-versed in historical records, she could make most men in the world feel inferior.
"Young miss, the wind is rising, be careful not to catch a cold, let's go back." The servant girl beside her advised.
Su Qi Han sighed, but she still stood by the side of the ship, looking at the surging river.
The servant girl insisted: "Young miss, are you worried about the rest of the journey? Didn't you chase away that evil thief? In my opinion, we've already chosen eight of the Ten Great Scholars. As for the remaining two, we can just pick any one of them. "
Su Qi Han shook her head: "You don't understand. The matter of picking the ten great scholars is not just an imperial edict, it also concerns the future prosperity of our Su family. "
The servant girl pouted: "Young miss, I don't understand the principles of the imperial court, but you have to let me drink the medicine."
Su Qi Han smiled bitterly: "How can ordinary medicine have any effect on my injuries. It is just a form of consolation, it's fine if I don't drink it. "
The servant girl stomped her feet: "Young miss, don't try to deceive me. This medicine has no effect on your injuries, but your body has been cold since young, if you don't drink this warm medicine, you will suffer from frostbite. So, you have to drink this medicine. "
"Alright, alright, alright, bring it over." Su Qi Han could not do anything to her personal servant girl, she could only take the bowl and drink it in one gulp.
She had just finished drinking when she heard a burst of wild laughter.
Then, a figure broke through the water and jumped onto the deck.
"Who is it?"
"It's you again, you evil thief!"
The guards on the ship immediately moved out and surrounded the newcomer.
However, the newcomer was very powerful. After a series of chaotic attacks, the guards were beaten into a mess.
"You are not his match, retreat for now." Su Qi Han's expression was solemn as she stepped forward, preparing to fight.
The newcomer's face was ferocious, he had a stocky build, and his skin was greenish-black, like the skin of a shark. This was the effect of the shark skin Gu.
"Miss Su." He greeted her with a smile, revealing his sharp teeth, making him look even more ferocious.
Su Qi Han sneered: "Shark Bandit, you lost to me not long ago, have you not learned your lesson? How dare you come back! "
Shark Bandit laughed sinisterly, "Miss Su, I am not your opponent, but that was before you drank that bowl of medicine. Do you feel that your hands and feet are a little numb? "
Su Qi Han's expression changed.
"Is there a problem with this medicine?!" She immediately turned to look at her personal maid.
The maidservant hurriedly shook her head, her face as pale as paper. "This is impossible! I've been keeping an eye on this medicine and I've never left it. Miss, you must believe me. "
"Of course the medicine … cough, cough, there is no problem. Cough, cough, but the medicine, cough, I did something to it. "Right at this time, another uninvited guest climbed up the ship's railing and stepped onto the deck.
Su Qi Han's brows were tightly furrowed, her heart sank to rock bottom: "Medicine Demon, you actually did not die!"
Medicine Demon looked like an old man, but he was actually only over twenty years old. He cultivated poison path and blindly pursued strength, causing him to suffer a backlash, his whole body was old and decaying inside and out.
Medicine Demon's eyes revealed deep hatred: "Thanks to your cousin, I won't be able to live for long. But to be able to have a taste of Su tribe's young miss before I die, it is worth it. "
Su Qi Han's expression turned pale, she took a step back: "What medicine did you give me?"
She felt her whole body turning numb.
Medicine Demon laughed loudly: "Of course it is — the strongest aphrodisiac! It can turn the most chaste woman in the world into the most lascivious and promiscuous slut! "
Before he finished speaking, Shark Bandit pounced forward.
Bam bam bam!
Explosions resounded as Su Qi Han retreated step by step.
"Miss, leave quickly, I will block them!" At the crucial moment, the servant girl stood up and sacrificed herself to buy time for Su Qi Han to escape.
Su Qi Han fell into deep hesitation.
"Miss, leave quickly!" The servant girl used a forbidden technique, her battle strength rose sharply, but the consequence was death.
Su Qi Han shed tears as she retreated, walking on the water: "Shark Bandit, Medicine Demon, I will not spare you. The Imperial Court will not spare your nine clans! "
In a pavilion by the river.
There were only two people.
One was Fang Yuan's clone Li Xiao Bai, the other was his teacher, Teacher Jiang.
Teacher Jiang looked at the river under the night sky as he said to Li Xiao Bai: "Come, compose a poem for me. I will give you ten steps. "
The so-called ten steps was the time it took for a normal person to walk ten steps.
Li Xiao Bai's talent was not as good as the main body, but after this period of hard work, he had made great progress, he immediately recited a poem.
Next, after thinking for a while, he recited the next two lines.
Teacher Jiang was silent for a while before shaking his head: "Oh Xiao Bai, you have indeed made great progress recently, but with your current talent, you are still not enough to compete for the position of scholar."
"Teacher, I know that ten steps poem composition is Emperor Gu Wen's test. Emperor Gu Wen created the scholar selection, every twenty years, the Imperial Court would choose ten great scholars. This ten steps poem composition is the first round of the scholar selection. I have already passed, why do you not recommend me to participate in this selection, teacher? "Li Xiao Bai asked in confusion.
Teacher Jiang turned around and looked at his favorite student, smiling: "Xiao Bai, you only know one thing but not the other. The selection of the ten great scholars is only a kind of glory and competition on the surface, but it is actually to nurture future officials of the Imperial Court. "
"Teacher, you are talking about becoming an immortal?" Li Xiao Bai was surprised.
Li Xiao Bai was only acting, he already knew everything.
Fang Yuan's heaven form killer move was a powerful method to investigate grotto-heavens, even if Profound Literature grotto-heaven had a rank eight Gu Immortal guarding it, it could not do anything to the constant investigation of heaven form from outside the grotto-heaven.
In this Profound Literature grotto-heaven, information path was undoubtedly the mainstream. Every time a Gu Master wrote a beautiful article, they would be rewarded by the grotto-heaven.
Originally, this grotto-heaven had many sects and Gu Immortals had their own territories. But later on, Emperor Gu Wen appeared. This person had extremely high talent and outstanding talent, he became a Gu Immortal at an astonishing speed. Afterwards, he made a move against other Gu Immortals, either killing or surrendering, he created an Imperial Court and brought the whole grotto-heaven under his rule.
In his later years, he created the selection of the ten great scholars. He chose the most outstanding scholars in the world and bestowed them with the glorious title of the Imperial Court.
The Imperial Court would choose suitable people among these scholars and recruit them, giving them resources before nurturing them into Gu Immortals and appointing them as officials.
Thus, the Imperial Court in Profound Literature grotto-heaven was the strongest super force. Every rank one official was a Gu Immortal, there was no exception.
The current emperor was naturally also a Gu Immortal. And now, the rank eight Gu Immortal guarding this place was the current supreme emperor.
Because it involved the chance to become an Gu Immortal, the selection of the ten great scholars looked peaceful on the surface, but in fact, there were undercurrents surging and the stench of blood.
All the forces were competing and competing, using all kinds of connections and relationships, scheming and overt.
"Great Scholar Shen, who competed with Teacher Jiang earlier, was one of the ten great scholars in every generation. But his political ideology was not high, or rather, he was not a proper person, thus he is still at rank five peak stage. "
"This teacher of mine is the same example. He was once one of the ten great scholars, but was not conscripted as an official. "
"My own talent is only just enough to meet the selection criteria. Moreover, I am teacher's disciple, because of his influence, the Imperial Court does not like me. Even if I succeed, I might not become a high official. At best, I would be a minor official, working for the Imperial Court and delaying my own cultivation. Without anyone above me, my life would be delayed like this. "
"Teacher Jiang and Great Scholar Shen probably saw this future, thus they chose not to become officials and wandered outside the Imperial Court. One opens a private school, the other roams around. "
Li Xiao Bai's mind was clear and organized.
It was not that Teacher Jiang and Great Scholar Shen had no future, if they could decipher the mystery of becoming an Gu Immortal and pass the tribulation, they would naturally become Gu Immortals.
It was just that this Profound Literature grotto-heaven was small compared to the five regions, the resources were very limited. Almost all the immortal materials were controlled by the colossus known as the Imperial Court, it was extremely difficult for Teacher Jiang and Great Scholar Shen to become Gu Immortals, there was little hope.
Teacher Jiang called Li Xiao Bai to the riverside and talked to him privately, he wanted to persuade this student to give up on this selection of the ten great scholars, he had put in a lot of effort.
He knew Li Xiao Bai's strength was low, even though he reached the lowest standard, there was no hope.
The selection of the ten great scholars was like a whirlpool, many scholars lost their lives because of it. Teacher Jiang had poured his heart and soul into teaching Li Xiao Bai, he did not want this student to be implicated and die a miserable death.
But he did not know that Li Xiao Bai already knew everything, he even knew how to become an Gu Immortal.
But he still had to put on a show.
Li Xiao Bai first investigated, before feeling regret and unwillingness, he finally thanked Teacher Jiang solemnly, he expressed that he was willing to give up on this selection and even the next few selections.
"This child is worth teaching!" Teacher Jiang was greatly relieved, he left with a peace of mind.
Li Xiao Bai was alone, walking along the riverside, on his way home.
"I can become an Gu Immortal by myself. But if I cultivate too fast and advance to an Gu Immortal, that rank eight Gu Immortal will definitely be alerted. He will definitely investigate, if he finds any clues, or even just a trace of suspicion, I will be in danger of dying. "
This was not what Li Xiao Bai or Fang Yuan's main body wanted to see.
Since Fang Yuan's soul transmigrated, he secretly set up a clone like Li Xiao Bai to save time and let the clone open up the situation, or even control this Profound Literature grotto-heaven alone.
Even though this was just a casual move, if it succeeded, it would definitely save Fang Yuan a lot of time and energy.
Of course, there was a backup plan.
For example, when Li Xiao Bai matured to a certain stage, he could coordinate with the main body and scheme against a rank eight Gu Immortal.
"But it is still too early now."
"I am Teacher Jiang's disciple, I can be considered to have established myself. I have studied hard during this period of time and gained some fame. But if I want to continue progressing, this environment is not enough to push me forward. "
"If I can become one of the ten great scholars, it will definitely be a springboard for me. Unfortunately, I have no power or backing, I only have a teacher, if I participate, I will definitely be assassinated, I will not gain any benefits. "
"Actually, joining the Imperial Court is the best cultivation path. The Imperial Court controls most of the immortal materials, even if I become an Gu Immortal in the future, without these cultivation resources, it will be difficult for me to advance. "
Li Xiao Bai sighed bitterly in his heart, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
He found a person lying in the weeds by the riverside.
"Lady, what's wrong?" After checking the situation, Li Xiao Bai bent down to save her.
When he dragged the unconscious woman ashore, he was shocked to find that this person was Su Qi Han!
"What happened?"
"This Su Qi Han is the beloved daughter of the current Imperial Court's first rank official, Prime Minister Su, she is in charge of the selection and assessment of the ten great scholars. She actually fainted from her injuries! "
"Prime Minister Su is a rank six Gu Immortal, Su Qi Han is also a future Imperial Court official, she definitely has immortal methods to protect her. She actually fell to such a state, this selection of the ten great scholars is really too deep. "
In Profound Literature grotto-heaven, there was no distinction between men and women, anyone could become an Gu Immortal, naturally they could all become officials. Many women were even more talented than men.
There were even large numbers of private schools and schools for women scattered all over Profound Literature grotto-heaven.
And the ten great scholars were not just men, there were also female scholars.
Just as he was thinking, Su Qi Han moaned and woke up.
"You saved me?" She looked at Li Xiao Bai with a fiery gaze.
Li Xiao Bai thought to himself: "Why is there something wrong with her gaze?"
He nodded and was about to speak.
But Su Qi Han covered his mouth and flipped over, pressing Li Xiao Bai onto the ground.
"This, what are you doing?" Li Xiao Bai's body tensed, he was a little dazed. What kind of trick was this?
Su Qi Han rode on him and started to take off his clothes in a hurry.
Li Xiao Bai stammered helplessly: "Lady Su, Lady Su, please conduct yourself with dignity!"
Su Qi Han's movements paused as she narrowed her eyes: "You know me?"
Li Xiao Bai swallowed his saliva, his forehead was covered in cold sweat: "Lady Su is selecting the ten great scholars, of course I know about it. Lady Su, I am Teacher Jiang's student, I had just parted ways with Teacher Jiang at the riverside pavilion. "
Li Xiao Bai was truly afraid, Su Qi Han had rank five peak stage cultivation level, he was not her match.
Right now, there were only the two of them at the riverside, Su Qi Han was in a strange state, Li Xiao Bai naturally mentioned Teacher Jiang to prevent him from being harmed.
Su Qi Han looked at Li Xiao Bai deeply, her face flushed unnaturally red as she sighed deeply: "It is too late, your teacher has already left. Right now, there is only you and me in the surrounding ten li. "
"What do you want to do? Ugh! "Li Xiao Bai fainted from Su Qi Han's poke.
This was not what he wanted.
According to his plan, he could develop steadily. But now, he was like a fish on the chopping board, anyone could do whatever they wanted to him.
If his secret was discovered, it would be terrible!
Li Xiao Bai tried his best to wake up, but Su Qi Han's methods were unique, no matter how much he struggled, he could not move.
While in a daze, he felt like he had entered a cold cave, he felt like he had fallen into a raging wave, rising and falling continuously.
Next, the cave became warm, it was as if a warm breeze was blowing, it was drizzling, it became warmer and more moist.
Eventually, he seemed to have transformed into a waterfall, he fainted from happiness.
After an unknown period of time, he slowly woke up.
He fainted, he was extremely exhausted, a sense of weakness could be felt from his bones.
He quickly checked his situation, he found that his clothes were completely torn, he was lying in a cave.
Su Qi Han was dressing beside him.
"Su, Lady Su …" Li Xiao Bai spoke with difficulty, he did not even have the strength to speak.
Su Qi Han did not look at him, she was still dressing, her voice was calm: "It has been three days and three nights since we met."
