143: Chapter 142 Azure Dragon Academy_1 143: Chapter 142 Azure Dragon Academy_1 “Big Brother Lu Chuan, please take a seat,” Xiaoqing said, shaking her bell.

Lu Chuan obediently sat down.

“Big Brother Lu Chuan, come over here to me,” Xiaoqing said again.

Lu Chuan got up and walked over to Xiaoqing.

“Give me a ‘yeah’ sign.”

Lu Chuan raised his hand and made a ‘yeah’ sign.

Xiaoqing immediately started giggling.

“Who would have thought that this bell would be so powerful to make Big Brother Lu Chuan obediently follow my commands,” she mused, looking at the sachet she had tied on Lu Chuan, “It must be some kind of connection between this sachet and the bell that allows me to control someone like this.”

“And Big Brother Lu Chuan, to leave such a powerful Magic Artifact lying carelessly on the table like that, it’s a good thing I’m a kind hearted ghost.

Otherwise, if it fell into the hands of those with malicious intent, wouldn’t that be awful?”

Xiaoqing looked at Lu Chuan and, thinking that she could command him to do anything now, felt a sudden rush of excitement.

A blush spread across her face, and she quickly shook her head, saying, “Oh my, what am I thinking?

Big Brother Lu Chuan is my benefactor, how could I even consider such things!”

“But…

he wouldn’t know anything in this situation.”

Ambivalent thoughts emerged in Xiaoqing’s mind.

With cheeks flushed, she stared at Lu Chuan and said, “Big Brother Lu Chuan, no matter what happens tonight, you must forget it completely.”

Lu Chuan nodded and said, “Okay.”

Xiaoqing felt even more bashful now.

Taking a deep breath and thinking, “Since I can do this, why not that,” she slowly gave Lu Chuan a new command, “Big Brother Lu Chuan, I think…”

…

The next day, approaching noon.

Lu Chuan woke up groggily, glanced at the time, and muttered to himself, “I’ve slept for so long; the elixir pill refinement must have taken a lot out of me.”

He got out of bed, feeling an inexplicable weariness, and couldn’t help but feel puzzled, “I’ve slept so long, why do I still feel so tired?

It’s as if I’ve been doing physical labor all night.”

“Looks like I’m getting old, my body isn’t what it used to be.”

“Xiaoqing.”

This time Xiaoqing didn’t appear in the room but sent a voice from within the jade stone, “Big Brother Lu Chuan, the sun is too intense outside right now, I can’t stand it, so I won’t come out.”

Lu Chuan turned to look outside the window, saw the bright sunny day, and nodded, “Alright, then stay inside the jade stone.

Did anything happen while I was sleeping last night?”

He always felt that waking up still feeling so tired was a bit abnormal.

Xiaoqing’s guilty voice came through, “No, you slept really well last night, nothing happened.”

Lu Chuan nodded thoughtfully, “Then it must be my imagination.”

Without giving it much thought, he quickly washed up and then went to Tang Shouli’s room.

He wanted Tang Shouli’s help in contacting Wu Daolong to find a place rich in Spiritual Energy for his breakthrough.

Tang Yurou was also in Tang Shouli’s room, chatting with him when Lu Chuan entered.

Upon seeing Lu Chuan enter, Tang Yurou’s face turned red, and she quickly got up and fled the room as if escaping from something.

Lu Chuan looked puzzled and asked Tang Shouli, “Family Head Tang, what were you two talking about just now?

Why did Yurou leave in such a panic when she saw me?”

Tang Shouli laughed heartily and said, “Oh, nothing, we were just chatting about her future marriage.”

He studied Lu Chuan for a moment, noting the dark circles under his eyes and his pale complexion.

His brow furrowed as he asked, “Lu Chuan, did you not rest well last night?

You look so haggard, as if…

you’ve been drained by a female ghost.”

He widened his eyes in disbelief, “You didn’t…

with that female ghost…”

Lu Chuan looked unamused and said, “Family Head Tang, what are you thinking?

I, Lu Chuan, am a man of integrity, how could I possibly do such a thing with a female ghost?

You’re really overthinking it.

I’m just exhausted from refining that elixir pill, and I haven’t recovered yet.”

Tang Shouli remained skeptical, then asked, “Did you come here for something?”

Lu Chuan said, “I need a favor from you to contact Wu Daolong for me.”

Tang Shouli immediately reached out to Wu Daolong.

Half an hour later, Wu Daolong arrived at the Tang Residence.

“Lu Chuan, if there’s anything you need, just ask.

I won’t have any objections,” Wu Daolong said with a smile as he walked up to Lu Chuan.

Having witnessed Lu Chuan’s abilities, Wu Daolong was extremely courteous, no longer putting on airs as he had before.

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “Actually, it’s nothing major.

I’d like to ask True Being Wu to help me find a Feng Shui treasure site.

I plan to attempt a breakthrough and would like to increase my chances of success by finding a suitable environment.

Being a local and skilled in Feng Shui and metaphysics, you must know such places here like the back of your hand.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Daolong’s eyes lit up and he quickly asked, “Are you trying to break through to the Celestial Master Realm?”

After giving it some thought, Lu Chuan replied, “Close enough.”

Respect filled Wu Daolong’s eyes as he looked at Lu Chuan and said, “Rest assured, I will find you the best place to make your breakthrough.”

He began to ponder where would be most suitable for Lu Chuan’s breakthrough.

Before long, Wu Daolong looked up at Lu Chuan and said, “If we are talking about the best Feng Shui site for making a breakthrough in Qingyang City, Azure Dragon Mountain is by far the best.

The scenery is beautiful, and the spiritual energy converges there – it is considered to have the best Feng Shui in the city.

However…”

“However, what?” Lu Chuan asked.

“However, the place has been bought by someone who has built a place called Azure Dragon Academy on the mountain, which specializes in teaching calligraphy to students,” Wu Daolong explained.

“The dean of Azure Dragon Academy is a calligraphy grandmaster with a reclusive personality.

He also enjoys individual calligraphy competitions, so anyone wishing to visit the interior of Azure Dragon Academy must leave behind a calligraphy work.

Only if the dean appreciates it, does one qualify to enter inside the academy.”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “This doesn’t sound difficult at all.

Let’s head to Azure Dragon Academy right now.”

Wu Daolong quickly said, “It’s not as simple as you think.

I once wanted to visit the interior of Azure Dragon Academy to enhance my realm with the unique aura of Azure Dragon Mountain.

I’ve practiced calligraphy since I was young and, although not master class, definitely stronger than the average person.

Even so, my handwriting still didn’t catch the dean’s eye, and to this day, I’ve never set foot inside.”

Lu Chuan thought for a moment, then asked, “Then what level of skill is needed to catch the dean’s eye?”

Wu Daolong replied, “There aren’t any specific standards, it purely depends on the dean’s mood that day.

If he sees potential, he might even like the doodles of a seven or eight-year-old child.

However, I’ve heard that the dean has recently become extremely obsessed with the works of a rapidly rising calligraphy master in the calligraphy world.

Many people have won the dean’s favor by imitating this master’s style.”

Lu Chuan, curious, asked, “Which master?”

After thinking for a moment, Wu Daolong said, “Seems to be called…

Master Qingyun.”

Lu Chuan was suddenly stunned.

Seeing Lu Chuan’s reaction, Wu Daolong said, “Never heard of him, right?

Neither have I.

Apparently, he’s only recently become famous.

I’ve heard many people praise Master Qingyun’s calligraphy highly.”

“However, imitating the handwriting of a calligraphy master is not so simple.

If we want to take a shortcut with this method, it’s not going to be easy.”

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh and said, “No need for shortcuts, let’s go there directly.

If the dean really likes Master Qingyun’s handwriting, we should have a pretty easy time getting in.”

Wu Daolong looked puzzled, wondering why Lu Chuan was so confident.

Without asking more, he took Lu Chuan and left the Tang Residence, heading toward Azure Dragon Academy.

Azure Dragon Academy is located in the suburbs of Qingyang City, at the foot of Azure Dragon Mountain.

When the academy was constructed, the entire Azure Dragon Mountain was included.

It’s said that the dean paid a sky-high sum of money to the city to buy Azure Dragon Mountain, equivalent to several years’ worth of Qingyang City’s fiscal revenue.

This added to the dean’s mysterious allure.

No one knew why the dean spent so much money to buy a mountain that wasn’t well-known in the past, nor did anyone know the dean’s true identity and how they could afford such an extravagant purchase.

Following Wu Daolong, Lu Chuan arrived at the suburbs of Qingyang City.

Before long, a lush green mountain came into view.

It was Azure Dragon Mountain.

Even from a great distance, Lu Chuan could already feel the spiritual energy from Azure Dragon Mountain soaring into the sky.

The closer they got, the more intense the energy felt, nothing like what should be found on an Earth where spiritual energy was nearly exhausted.

“Azure Dragon Mountain truly is a Feng Shui treasure site, and the spiritual energy is so rich it’s almost like some of the secret places in the Cultivation World,” he surmised.

“It seems this place might either see the birth of an extraordinary treasure or it could be the relic of some formidable being.

The dean of Azure Dragon Academy is likely not to be underestimated.”

Lu Chuan made his judgment.

Soon, the two arrived at the foot of the mountain, where numerous retro-style buildings stretched in a line, forming a tranquil and graceful picture of a paradise, in harmony with the surrounding environment.

They were at the main entrance to Azure Dragon Academy.

A row of tables stood there, with rice paper and brushes atop for use.

Many people were standing in front of the tables, writing.

Around them, crowds of people gathered: some watching the calligraphers, others peering into the academy, a bustling scene indeed.

“These tables are prepared for those who wish to enter Azure Dragon Academy.

You just need to write something here, and it will be sent inside for the dean to review.

Once you gain the dean’s approval, you’re eligible to enter,” Wu Daolong explained.

Lu Chuan nodded, then asked with some confusion, “Calligraphy is a popular art enjoyed by both men and women, but why are most of the people here men?

There are hardly any women.

Could it be that the women of Qingyang City are not fond of calligraphy?”

Wu Daolong immediately burst into laughter and said, “You’re right about that, but these people who are here to join in the excitement, only a small portion of them come with the intention of visiting a calligraphy sacred land.

The majority of them aren’t interested in visiting Azure Dragon Academy at all.

Their real purpose is to catch a glimpse of the dean.”

Lu Chuan, puzzled, asked, “Why is that?”

Wu Daolong smiled slightly and said, “Because the dean of Azure Dragon Academy is a woman of incomparable beauty, a nation’s treasure that turns the world on its head.”
