On Yuquan Mountain outside the city, a Taoist temple was opened and a Taoist temple named Yuquan Palace was built. The visitor is none other than Chunyang Zhenren, an old acquaintance.

When Chen Guanlou learned the news, he almost burst into tears.

Hundreds of years ago, Emperor Taizu transferred hundreds of miles of Yuquan Mountain to Jixia Academy with a wave of his hand. Since then, Yuquan Mountain has become the private property of Jixia Academy, and no one is allowed to enter without permission.

In just a few months, Yuquan Mountain was cut in half and a dojo was built. The master of the temple was Chunyang Zhenren.

What a slap in the face!

Chen Guanlou slapped him in the face, and Master Chunyang slapped him in the face behind. Tsk...

Emperor Jianshi's move was a small matter of territory but a big matter of face. As a result, Jixia Academy's status plummeted.

As expected of an emperor, he exploits every opportunity to cause trouble.

He asked Master Du, "After being slapped so hard in the face, Jixia Academy didn't cause trouble? There are so many officials from Jixia Academy in the officialdom, but they didn't do anything?"

"Why didn't you make a fuss? I heard that memorials were piled up in half the room. But His Majesty was unmoved. He only said that it was a pity that there was no dojo in such a big Yuquan Mountain. In addition, with the full support of officials from Feijixia Academy, it was still possible after all. We took half of the land and built Yuquan Palace."

"The people in Jixia Academy may have their noses crooked with anger."

"You are wrong. The people in Jixia Academy do not hate the imperial court, nor do they hate Your Majesty. They hate you."

"Hate me?" Chen Guanlou pointed at his face, a face as beautiful as a tree facing the wind. Who could bear to hate him?

"I just hate you. It was you who tore open the window paper and gave His Majesty a chance. It was you who tore the golden bell and iron cloth shirt of Jixia Academy, making the world no longer want the myth of Jixia Academy. It was you who tore it off. Their shame caused them to be embarrassed in public and gave others an opportunity to take advantage of them. You are the main culprit for the fall of Jixia Academy!"

Master Du was very impressive.

As a scholar, when he first heard that Jixia Academy had failed, he felt very complicated in his heart. He was both happy for Chen Guanlou and worried about Jixia Academy. Unexpectedly, the worries became reality. Victory is deserved. Just one defeat will attract a pack of wolves.

Is only half of Yuquan Mountain important?

Not important!

However, when Yuquan Mountain is closely related to Jixia Academy, it is not only the territory, but also face, lizi, influence, and voice, then half of the territory becomes particularly important.

Being cut off from half of the territory means that the transcendent status of Jixia Academy is gone.

Emperor Jianshi personally destroyed the most influential college in the world and reduced it to mediocrity.

What a pain!

At this moment, Master Du was inevitably a little angry, and his words seemed very rude.

Who would have thought at the time that a simple martial arts contest would turn into a weapon in a court battle, with such serious subsequent consequences.

What a pity!

Du Fuzi drank a glass of wine in one breath, feeling very depressed. It seems that it has lost its spiritual symbol and looks very decadent.

Chen Guanlou saw this and sighed, "Master, you can't be like this."

"You are not a scholar, you don't understand."

"You think I'm the culprit too."

"No! Without Chen Guanlou, there would also be Li Guanlou and Wang Guanlou. If they want to do it, they will find the right person to play forward sooner or later. You just caught up at the right time and were caught again. Opportunity. Oh, it’s all fate!”

Master Du sighed repeatedly.

Sad for the fall of Jixia Academy. Obviously I don't attach much importance to it at ordinary times, but on the day of death, I watched helplessly but couldn't do anything. It's heartbreaking for a scholar! Respect by doing it first!

"Master, it's good if you can figure it out. I'm just a tool. At the beginning, I just wanted to find someone to fight with. When the students from Jixia Academy bumped into me, I should welcome them. As for the subsequent development, it is not what I want, and it is not what I want. It’s not something I can control.”

As far as the world is concerned, everyone is a pawn.

Even the one sitting on the Dragon Throne is still a pawn in the chess game of the world.

Who is the flag bearer?

There is no specific person, only potential!

The general trend of the world!

When the time comes, Jixia Academy should also fall.

After leaving Master Du, Chen Guanlou went outside the city and went straight to Yuquan Mountain.

Yuquan Mountain is very peaceful today. The gate of Jixia Academy is closed, and there are few people and few cars. Most students who seek education will return disappointed.

Continuing forward, we arrived at the western foot of Yuquan Mountain, and indeed there was a lot of construction work going on.

The stone steps up the mountain have been paved, the square has been built, and the hall dedicated to the founder of the Three Qing Dynasties has been lit with green smoke.

Chen Guanlou went straight in, and upon entering the main hall, he saw Master Chunyang who was instructing the craftsmen on how to shape the golden body of the Patriarch.

The real person is still the same as before, with an immortal demeanor and a moral integrity.

"Blessings and Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!"

When Master Chunyang saw him, he slapped his head.

"Congratulations on the return of Chen Yucheng!"

"I also want to congratulate Zhenren for his safe release from prison. Now you are the master of Yuquan Palace, the royal dojo. I am very happy!"

"Joy and rejoice together!"

Master Chunyang led Chen Guanlou to the teahouse in the backyard. When the tea was served, he dismissed his disciples and grandchildren.

Chen Guanlou was not in a hurry to drink tea, but asked, "So, your family's case is closed? No one will find out about the late emperor's Taoism to embarrass you again?"

"Whether anyone is in trouble depends on the specific situation. No one is in trouble today, and there is no guarantee that no one will be in trouble ten years from now."

"Since His Majesty has used you as the temple master of Yuquan Palace, I believe he will not fall out of favor in a short time."

"I hope so."

"I saw the alchemy room on the way here. Could it be that His Majesty asked you to be the master of the temple for the purpose of refining alchemy." Chen Guanlou made a curious guess.

Chun Yang Zhenren smiled faintly, "Chen Yu Cheng lives in the Tianlao, which is a waste of talent! You guessed it right. His Majesty asked me to live in Yuquan Palace just to make elixirs. I have countless Taoist elixir recipes, and there are some that can be used. His Majesty is very curious about the efficacy of them and hopes to make them."

"In this case, your Majesty is no different from the previous emperor."

"Your Majesty has learned a lesson and did not ask Taoists like me to go to the palace to make elixirs, so there is no need to endure the abuse of court officials every day."

"Are you sure?"

It is clear that Emperor Jianshi asked Chun Yang Zhenren to make elixirs, and what he made must not be ordinary elixirs. It must be rare and rare, and it is not enough to describe it as prolonging life. The success rate is probably difficult to guarantee.

"I am not very sure. I am barely sure of 30% or 20%, so let's give it a try." Chun Yang Zhenren seemed to be very open-minded. Whether it was the Tianlao or the Taoist temple, he was calm and treated it with a normal mind.

Pure Yang Zhenren suddenly said: "I have a recipe for a pill called Qi Yin Dan. I don't know exactly what it does. Taking advantage of the opportunity to make a pill for His Majesty, I plan to try to make a Qi Yin Dan. If it works, I wonder if Chen Yucheng dares to give it a try?"

Let him test the poison?

No!

Test the medicine!

Chen Guanlou thought about it and thought that this business could be done. He has the immortal fruit, so he is not afraid of any poison, and he is not afraid of the pill killing people.
