Chapter 690 [Listen to the Phoenix 26]
In the solemn and dignified temple, Wu Youdao resolutely rejected the invitation of Empress Gao Sheng, which made Empress Gao Sheng lose face and became furious. However, the powerful Empress Gao Sheng did not give up. She privately set up a banquet and sent her nephew Gao Wei to invite Wu Youdao to the banquet.
After receiving the order, Gao Wei personally went to where Wu Youdao was, and humbly and sincerely conveyed the invitation of the Queen. But who knew that Wu Youdao didn't buy the Queen's invitation at all, and just responded indifferently: "I still have a mountain of documents to sort out, and I really don't have time to attend the banquet." After that, he turned around and left, leaving Gao Wei standing there with an embarrassed look on his face.
When Empress Gao Sheng learned about this, her face was terribly gloomy. She thought, since she couldn't recruit Wu Youdao to serve her, then keeping such a person who didn't work for her would definitely become a big trouble in the future. Instead of doing this, it would be better to get rid of him as soon as possible to prevent future troubles. So, she secretly gave an order to Gao Wei to send someone to eliminate Wu Youdao.
Gao Wei knew that Wu Youdao's spiritual power was unfathomable, and if he chose to fight head-on, he would probably not be able to win. After careful consideration, this despicable guy actually came up with a vicious plan - using magic incense. When Wu Youdao inhaled the magic incense without any defense, he suddenly felt that his spiritual power was greatly suppressed. If he forcibly exerted his spiritual power, it would cause his internal organs to rupture instantly and he would die.
Despite being in such an unfavorable situation, Wu Youdao still fought fiercely with Gao Wei and his men with his tenacious will and superb martial arts. He rushed left and right, trying to find an opportunity to break through the encirclement. Finally, taking advantage of the enemy's momentary negligence, Wu Youdao successfully escaped the encirclement.
However, fate did not seem to favor him. In the dead of night, on the deserted streets, Wu Youdao was eventually caught up by Gao Wei and others and surrounded. At this time, he was already wounded and exhausted, but he had no intention of retreating in the face of the vicious enemy. Just when the two sides were deadlocked, Gao Wei suddenly used a trick. A flash of cold light passed by, and a dart with the poison of the Dark Night Court shot straight at Wu Youdao. Wu Youdao was hit by the poison dart, and the poison quickly spread throughout his body...
At the critical moment, the god of luck seemed to favor Wu Youdao, and Jun Linyuan happened to pass by. He flashed and acted quickly like a ghost, repelling those vicious people and successfully saving Wu Youdao, whose life was hanging by a thread.
Afterwards, Jun Linyuan carefully helped the seriously injured Wu Youdao up and took him straight to Fengxun's residence. Along the way, Jun Linyuan was extremely anxious and kept speeding up his pace, fearing that he would miss the best time for treatment.
After arriving at Fengxun Mansion, Jun Linyuan immediately ordered his servants to prepare everything he needed, and personally used his internal energy to heal Wu Youdao, trying to force the toxins out of his body. As time passed, Jun Linyuan's forehead gradually became covered with fine beads of sweat, but he was still concentrating on expelling the poison from Wu Youdao, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
Finally, after some effort, Jun Linyuan successfully forced the poison out of Wu Youdao's body. Wu Youdao's pale face gradually regained some color, and his physical condition slowly stabilized. At this time, he was filled with endless gratitude to Jun Linyuan.
Wu Youdao knew that Jun Linyuan's rescue was not accidental, but had a deeper meaning. He understood that Jun Linyuan hoped that he could stand on his side and support him in achieving great things. However, Wu Youdao, who had experienced many vicissitudes of life, was already tired of the disputes and intrigues in the world and was unwilling to get involved again. Although he knew that Jun Linyuan would definitely become a benevolent monarch in the future and benefit the people, the exhaustion and fear deep in his heart made it difficult for him to make a decision easily.
Facing Wu Youdao's hesitation and refusal, Jun Linyuan did not show any dissatisfaction or force. He just looked at Wu Youdao gently and said softly: "I know your difficulties, and I will not force you to do anything against your will. Now you just need to rest and recuperate here, and consider your future path after your injuries are healed." After that, Jun Linyuan turned and left the room, leaving Wu Youdao alone in deep thought.
In the prosperous and bustling Yuandu, there is a famous academy - Junwu Academy. It is like a bright pearl, shining in the core area of the city, and has become a sacred temple for countless spiritualists to pursue the ultimate practice.
This place gathers outstanding talents from all over the world. They are eager for power and wisdom and devote themselves to it, hoping to take advantage of the rich resources of the academy and the guidance of excellent mentors to take their cultivation to a higher level. Because of this, Junwu Academy deservedly became the leading place for cultivation in Yuandu, attracting many spiritualists to regard it as the only choice for self-improvement.
However, it is not easy to enter this desirable institution. The academy adheres to the principle of strict talent selection and holds an entrance examination only every three years. The admission requirements are extremely harsh. Whether it is a beginner spiritualist who has just embarked on the path of cultivation or a senior spiritualist who has accumulated a certain amount of experience, without exception, they all need to pass this difficult entrance examination to have the opportunity to enter the gate of Junwu Academy. Even children like Feng Xun, who come from a prominent family, cannot enjoy special treatment based on their family background and still have to accept the same severe test.
However, there are always exceptions. For those top spiritualists who have cultivated to the spiritual master realm or above, they have the privilege of admission without examination. Among the many spiritualists who applied for this period, only Jun Linyuan and Yu Mingye successfully obtained this precious exemption qualification with their extraordinary strength. As for Zuo Qingyuan, she had no interest in entering Junwu Academy, so she did not sign up for this recruitment.
As for Youyou, she disdained this traditional college-style education. With her astonishing talent and unfathomable cultivation, teachers in ordinary schools could not even compare to her, so how could they teach her? Therefore, she was not interested in this at all. Xuanyi, on the other hand, always followed Youyou's lead. As long as Youyou decided to go, no matter where in the world, he would follow closely. Therefore, Xuanyi's choice was completely determined by Youyou's movements. As long as Youyou was wherever he went, he would follow without hesitation.
However, even though there are some people who have not registered in the Biluo Palace, this is obviously not feasible! You know, this academy is a place that everyone in the entire continent dreams of entering.
Therefore, after careful consideration, the Lord of Biluo Palace decided to send Lu Yao and several disciples to register. However, it was unexpected that the senior officials of Junwu Academy got the relevant information from somewhere and actually directly asked Youyou to go to Junwu Academy to serve as a tutor.
In this case, Youyou might as well take advantage of the free time before marriage to go there for a visit. If there are disciples from Biluo Palace who can successfully enter the academy in the future, she can also protect and take care of them.
During this period of time, Xuan Yi has been practicing with You You, and his spiritual power has improved at an amazing speed. Now, he has successfully broken through to the realm of Spiritual Venerable, and his strength has greatly increased. On the other hand, You You has already entered the impressive level of Holy Spirit Realm and has become a powerful person.
Zuo Qingyuan saw that her junior sister also went to Junwu College. Although she was going to be a tutor, she was still afraid that her junior sister would be bullied, so she directly passed the exemption test and entered the college with Youyou and the others.
