As to whether Lu Chen was an immortal, officials in the court of Da Qi had different opinions.
However, everyone is unanimous in their opinion on whether Lu Chen can perform magical arts. Lu Chen must be able to do so, because he has already proved it with his performance.
The reason why some people still don’t admit that Lu Chen is an immortal is because Lu Chen has not ascended to heaven in broad daylight in front of them.
Why did Chen Laoliu and his gang kidnap Lu Chen before?
Isn't it just to get the method of practicing magic from him?
Who could have imagined that Lu Chen had no intention of keeping it to himself and was happy to spread this method.
I don’t know if Chen Laoliu and his people will regret it to death after knowing this.
There are countless people in the world who want to learn skills from Lu Chen. Even among the disciples of Confucianism, many people are curious about Lu Chen's methods.
Now Lu Chen has opened it up to everyone to learn, so why not learn it?
What's more, Li Xiang also said that once you learn and find that you are indeed insightful in this area, you can worship Lu Chen as your teacher.
Let’s put aside the benefits of becoming the imperial teacher’s disciple and just say that you become a fellow apprentice with the little prince. Then, all the glory and wealth in this life will be yours.
As long as you hold on to the little prince's thigh, your life will become more hopeful day by day.
Considering the little prince's status in this place, he is at least a prince, and a prince with a very large fiefdom.
At the very least, his fellow apprentices could hold some official position in their fiefdom.
If the little prince wants to compete for the throne, that would be even more serious. If he really ascends to the throne, the status of his fellow apprentices will be harmonious and noble!
This is why Sun Jijiu's eyes went dark. Scholars are all very smart. Why do they study? To learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor.
There are very few people like Yan Hui. Even Confucius said that if one still has spare time for learning, he can consider becoming an official.
Since the goal was to become an official, the process was unimportant. If learning Lu Chen's knowledge could also help them rise to prominence, they wouldn't necessarily cling to Confucian classics.
Besides, Lu Chen never said from the beginning to the end that his skills were entirely Taoist. He also highly respected Confucianism. Why do you say that Lu Chen's things are not a branch of Confucianism?
Sure enough, when they heard what Li Xiang said, many people became excited, and some people really wanted to rush into the library right now to study Lu Chen's works carefully.
Some people even shouted, "Get out of the way! I must have a destiny to become an immortal. Don't block my ascension to the immortal realm!"
Hearing this, Sun Jijiu was so angry that he almost pulled his beard off. He glared at the people who were talking and said, "How dare you! A scholar doesn't talk about strange things, supernatural powers, or anything like that. What are you all making such a fuss about here? Do you still have the bearing of a scholar? What did I tell you before you came? Be elegant!"
After all, Sun Jijiu was the top official in the Imperial College, and his power was still in this place. His roar really calmed down those restless scholars.
But at this time, Li Xiang added fuel to the fire and said, "Don't panic, Master. Although Master has revealed all his skills for everyone to learn, his skills are not so easy to learn. When it comes to cultivating immortals, what matters is one's immortal posture and wisdom. Without wisdom, even if the magnificent avenue is placed before their eyes, they will not be able to learn it."
"As Master said, the ability to learn immortal arts is rare, picking one in ten thousand. It's even harder than becoming the top scholar in the imperial examination. After all, Da Qi has been established for so many years, and there have been many top scholars. But have you seen a true immortal cultivator appear in recent years?"
Upon hearing this, many people blinked and expressions of ecstasy appeared on their faces again.
Yes, there have indeed been many top scholars in recent years, but there has not been a single person who practices Taoism. Doesn’t this just prove that people who practice Taoism are better than top scholars?
Some people who think they can't get the top score in the imperial examination will immediately have other ideas and find another way out.
Sun Jijiu's head was buzzing. He suddenly realized that even a young man like Li Xiang was beyond his ability. Was this the method used by the disciples of the immortals?
After bowing to Li Xiang, Sun Jijiu said with a bit of tiredness: "Thank you for clearing up my doubts, little prince. Let's continue to look at the examination room."
Li Xiang laughed and stopped dwelling on the matter.
Because he knew very well that there were still many things waiting for these country bumpkins, and today he must shock these old-fashioned people and shatter their world views.
So he extended his hand and said, "Then please follow me. I will show you around the examination room."
As he said this, he took the lead and walked forward, not caring at all whether the people behind him could keep up.
Sun Jijiu wiped the sweat from his forehead, glared at the group of scholars behind him, and said, "Look at your lack of ambition. Just because you've learned some unconventional methods, you've lost your mind. Have you forgotten your identity as scholars? Have you forgotten that what you're learning is the true path?"
"What's the point of becoming an immortal? No matter how powerful Lu Chen is, he's still stuck in the mundane world. You idiots are so shortsighted that you can't see what's good! You're learning from the words of the saints. As long as you read their words thoroughly, you too can become saints. This is no more reliable than pursuing the so-called illusory immortal path!"
He puffed out his chest and said, "Follow us. Let's go to the front and see what other tricks they have up their sleeves. Remember what I just said. We are disciples of the saints. No matter what, we must maintain the mentality of remaining calm even when faced with a mountain collapsing before us. We must be graceful!"
As they were talking, Sun Jijiu had already taken a step forward to catch up, and the rest of the scholars also continued to move forward. However, during this process, everyone was whispering to each other, and it was obvious that they had their own ideas.
Soon everyone was getting closer and closer to the main building, and as the distance shortened, the expressions on everyone's faces changed.
Their initial curiosity turned to confusion, and then from confusion to shock.
When they got closer, even Sun Jijiu could no longer maintain his calm expression. He looked at the main building in front of him, at the transparent glass on the windows, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, this window... this window, could it be?"
Li Xiang turned around and grinned, "Yes, this window is made of transparent glass. It's not just one window, but all the windows here, a total of 748 windows, all made of transparent glass. Although I haven't seen what the Dragon King's Crystal Palace looks like, I think it's definitely not as good as ours!"
