“As the spiritual energy tide gradually returns, more and more people become practitioners by chance due to various special reasons.

However, since most people do not have a clear understanding of cultivation itself, they urgently need to learn about the situation in the cultivation world and their own cultivation problems through various channels, so various cultivation forums came into being, and the Dao Forum is one of them. "

"The Dao Forum is not the largest cultivation forum, but it is definitely the highest quality among all cultivation forums, because behind the Dao Forum stands the Imperial Observatory, which symbolizes the Great Xia court."

After hearing about the cultivation forum, Shen Yuan gradually became interested.

When communicating with He Yao at Fubotan before, He Yao mentioned that he learned about the Dragon King Banquet information on the cultivation forum.

Time was tight at the time, and Shen Yuan did not inquire in detail about the issues in the cultivation forum. Now that Xue Mingzhi took the initiative to raise the issue, it saved Shen Yuan a lot of trouble.

"The entry requirements of the Dao Forum are very strict. Only those cultivation geniuses recognized by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory can enter the forum, and the forum also gathers the vast majority of geniuses in the entire Daxia."

When talking about the Wendao Forum, Xue Mingzhi showed a bit of pride on his face.

Obviously, in Xue Mingzhi's view, being recognized by the Imperial Observatory is naturally an extremely honorable thing.

"The Daode forum uses a points system, and you can earn points by answering other members' questions about spiritual practice.

These points can be used to ask questions, or to obtain precious cultivation books, which even include some mysterious magical powers collected by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. "

"So you want me to pass the assessment of the Imperial Observatory and become a member of the Tao Forum?" Shen Yuan asked.

After these words came out, Xue Mingzhi's face changed and he shook his head repeatedly:

"How can those people from the Imperial Observatory be qualified to examine you?

Every member of the Wendao Forum has an invitation quota, and these invitation quotas are often elders from the families of geniuses from all sides.

My invitation quota has not been used, so I would like to invite you to join the Q&A forum."

After saying this, Xue Mingzhi still felt quite uneasy.

He did not tell Shen Yuan that this forum actually had some unspoken rules that were not made public.

The fact that the Wendao Forum had attracted the entire Tian Jiao was itself the work of the Imperial Observatory.

Initially, the Imperial Observatory's idea was to use the Dao Forum to subtly influence the geniuses of the entire Daxia, and gradually assimilate the geniuses into the Daxia court.

To accomplish this vision and control the current geniuses would mean controlling the entire trend of the spiritual energy tide era. In the future, the Great Xia court would surely suppress all quarters.

This was a result that no sect wanted to see, so all parties tried their best to check and balance the Imperial Observatory.

Many hidden sects first let their own geniuses challenge other geniuses who joined the forum, and then defeat them, and then widely publicize that the forum is only in name only, and even the real geniuses are not included in it.

The Imperial Observatory could only hold its nose and allow the sect's genius to join the forum.

Afterwards, various hidden sects began to put pressure on the Imperial Observatory, demanding that the restrictions should not be too rigid and that people other than the genius disciples should be able to enter the forum.

After a war of words, the Imperial Observatory finally compromised and came up with a so-called membership invitation system, whereby each member could invite one person to join the Daode forum.

After the invitation system was introduced, these hidden sects finally revealed their true intentions.

The elders in their paradise who cannot come down to the world invite the geniuses to join the forum. While answering the questions raised by the geniuses, they widely publicize the sect's skills and magical powers, as well as the sect's benefits, in an attempt to lure the geniuses to join the sect.

The Imperial Observatory then realized that it had been fooled. However, by this time, the elders of the sects had been relying on their own cultivation knowledge to continuously answer difficult questions and had made a name for themselves in the forum.

Even the Imperial Observatory cannot kick out these elders of the sect at will, so they have no choice but to use magic to defeat magic, and use the same method to answer questions about cultivation while stepping on the sect.

As people came and went, a strange atmosphere formed in the Daode forum. Whenever there were some difficult questions, people from the Imperial Observatory and secluded sects would compete to see who could answer the question first.

Once they succeed in answering the question first, they will inevitably make a few sarcastic remarks to the other party.

Under such circumstances, it was the geniuses who benefited from it and solved many troubles in the process of cultivation.

For this reason, the candidates for invitation to other Tianjiao members are basically their own elders, or fellow Taoists with higher cultivation than themselves.

Once the invitee successfully answers the question, the inviter will receive 1% of the points for answering the question, which is a good reward if accumulated over time.

Xue Mingzhi also had such a selfish motive. In addition, after seeing Shen Yuan's extraordinaryness, Xue Zhiming also wanted to get closer to Shen Yuan, so he took the initiative to propose the forum.

After hearing Xue Mingzhi's explanation, Shen Yuan's expression eased slightly.

If entering the Dao Forum required approval from the Imperial Observatory, Shen Yuan would have refused without hesitation.

He had too many secrets at the moment and it was difficult for him to have direct contact with the authorities, but if he could only join the forum through Xue Mingzhi's invitation, he would not have this concern.

Shen Yuan said to Xue Mingzhi:

"I am very interested in your proposal, but I think each member only has one invitation quota, and the value of this quota is probably not low, right?"

What Shen Yuan said was not wrong. Due to the special nature of the Wendao Forum, the price of an invitation quota has been driven up to a sky-high price in the imperial capital.

Among them are not only those who truly want to study and practice through the forum, but also some second-generation powerful people who want to enter the forum because of their status.

Among the younger generation in the imperial capital, whether or not one can enter the Daode Forum has become a symbol of identity and class division.

There was even a duke's legitimate son who took the initiative to approach the Imperial Observatory and asked for a membership spot on the forum, but was directly thrown out by the Imperial Observatory's people.

After this incident was reported, the reputation of the Wendao Forum in the circle of the second generation of the rich and powerful became increasingly high. This was also because Xue Mingzhi had only recently obtained membership in the Wendao Forum, otherwise the quota would have been bought long ago.

Of course, expensive is only relative. The drop of spiritual liquid that Shen Yuan casually gave out is worth far more than a mere invitation. There is no need for Xue Mingzhi to be clever in such a small matter.

"It's just an invitation. It's not something precious. If you need it, just accept it, Mr. Shen."

As he spoke, Xue Mingzhi took out a light silver card from his bosom, on which was printed relevant information about the Wendao Forum. This was the so-called membership invitation certificate.

Shen Yuan reached out and took the card, then took a look at the spiritual objects in the gift boxes and picked out the piece of Yunfu rosewood.

Although Yunfu red sandalwood is the same first-level spiritual object as cold iron ore, its quality is far superior to cold iron ore.

This piece of rosewood is too large to be made into a storage ring, but the storage equipment made by Hu Tian's magical power is not restricted by appearance.

Shen Yuan hollowed out a space inside a small piece of rosewood and used the Hutian magical power to open up the space. A storage magic tool that was much larger than the two storage rings appeared in Shen Yuan's hand.

From the outside, this storage magic device looked like a small hollow bamboo tube. Shen Yuan casually threw it to Xue Mingzhi.

"This is your reward."

Xue Mingzhi respectfully reached out to take the storage device, and with a touch of his spiritual sense he felt the storage space again.

Xue Mingzhi was almost shocked to the point of numbness by Shen Yuan's various strange methods.

These spiritual objects were sent by him and Fu Hua. They were obviously ordinary things, but in Shen Yuan's hands they were transformed into precious storage tools.

"If those sects and families saw this ability, they might want to capture Mr. Shen and force him to make storage tools day and night."

Such a thought flashed through Xue Mingzhi's mind.

But when he recalled the magical power of creating space cracks at will and turning decay into magic, he immediately suppressed this ridiculous thought.

"If they really come to our door, I'm afraid the first ones to be afraid should be the sects and families."

Fu Hua, who was standing by, watched with satisfaction as his nephew established a relationship with Shen Yuan, and was very glad that Xue Mingzhi was brought along this time.

With Xue Mingzhi's help, the relationship between the Fu family and Shen Yuan can be further improved.

Seeing that Shen Yuan's mind was already on the invitation card, Fu Hua realized that it was time to take his leave, so he said respectfully to Shen Yuan:

"It's getting late today, we should leave first.

If Mr. Shen has any other instructions, please feel free to ask. My Fu family will do our best to cooperate with Mr. Shen."

Fu Hua's words suddenly reminded Shen Yuan of something he had planned to arrange for the Fu family to do before, but the Fu family had not come for some time and the matter was temporarily put on hold.

"I do have one more thing I need you to take care of."

Fu Hua's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "As long as the Fu family can do it, I will do my best to help Mr. Shen complete it."

Shen Yuan waved his hand and said casually:

“It’s not a big deal, I’m sure you should have investigated my identity.

Send some people from your Fu family to help me look after Shen Yu, but don't make it too obvious."

Fu Hua showed a look of understanding and immediately said:

"Please rest assured, Mr. Shen."

After saying this, Fu Hua took Xue Mingzhi and slowly left the courtyard.

Only after walking out of the courtyard gate did Xue Mingzhi ask Fu Hua about his doubts.

"Who is the Shen Yu Mr. Shen is talking about?"

"That's Mr. Shen's biological sister. She is also the person closest to Mr. Shen."

Xue Mingzhi was shocked: "Mr. Shen's biological sister? Could it be that Mr. Shen is not an ancient strong man who walked out of the blessed land?"

Fu Hua glanced at the closed courtyard gate, glared at Xue Mingzhi unhappily and said:

"Shut up! How can you just guess what Mr. Shen is like?"

Xue Mingzhi immediately shut his mouth obediently, and after a moment the car slowly drove away from the old city area.

After Fu Hua and the other person left, Shen Yuan returned to his room, turned on his computer, and began to study this so-called "Wendao Forum".

After all, judging from the current situation, the Dao Forum seems to be the only way for him to obtain the classics on the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation.

The computer interface began to jump to the forum, apparently to avoid the trouble of prying into the privacy of certain practitioners. There was no information such as identity verification during the whole process.

With the help of the invitation card, Shen Yuan easily logged into the forum. On the forum interface in front of Shen Yuan, several clear large words appeared in front of Shen Yuan.

"Please enter your forum name."

After a slight hesitation, Shen Yuan typed in two short words.

Falling clouds!
