[130] Demonic Cultivation Stimulates Talent? The Confucian Genius Living In The Shadow Of Wu Ping (P
Those Confucian cultivators instantly lowered their flags and ceased their activities.
Yes.
The Seven Blood Sect is indeed a demonic cultivation sect.
But it is also a top sect.
Moreover, the Seven Blood Sect is in the north, while the Three Thousand Book Pavilion is in the south.
There is no conflict, let alone contradictions.
Will the powerful give face or not?
Alright, even if the heavens are high and the emperor is far away.
The Three Thousand Book Pavilion grits its teeth and refuses to give face to the powerful of the Seven Blood Sect.
What about the Twelve Caves of the Southern Mountains?
They won't give face either?
But they are all in the southern territory.
Although the Twelve Caves of the Southern Mountains belong to demonic cultivation.
But compared to the Seven Blood Sect, the Twelve Caves of the Southern Mountains have truly not done much evil.
They won't start wars like the Seven Blood Sect.
At most, their disciples go out and capture a few people for experimentation and poisoning.
Doing evil is still doing evil.
But what they are famous for is not just poison, but also medicine.
Although the Three Thousand Book Pavilion also has masters of alchemy, their methods and levels are there.
With their expertise in the path of toxicology, the Twelve Caves of the Southern Mountains almost dominate the southern region.
They don't seize territory, but if someone attacks them, they will fight back. If someone doesn't attack them, they will occasionally provoke others.
You can't say anything either.
Because you will eventually need high-grade elixirs, right?
Do you want me to refine them for you?
If you don't want to, you can go to the Central Plains or the East. Maybe those places don't have as high production as the Twelve Caves of the Southern Mountains.
Even if you find them once, you won't be able to find them every time.
So the Twelve Caves of the Southern Mountains are in the south, and they have gained a good reputation. Even if they are demonic cultivators, no one says anything.
People only curse demonic cultivators, they won't single out the Twelve Caves of the Southern Mountains.
Moreover, Nanshan Twelve Caves itself is also a top force.
When Wu Ping's token came out.
This face.
It's not what he wanted, but the Three Thousand Book Pavilion rushed to send it up.
Deputy Cave Master, are you joking?
Not to mention killing an outsider from the Qitian Battle Mansion.
Even if three thousand disciples of the Book Pavilion were killed.
Today, Wu Ping will not have any trouble.
Naturally, there will be people to protect him.
There are not bad people everywhere, nor are there good people everywhere.
Sure enough.
The two were still talking.
More than a dozen Confucian disciples from the Three Thousand Book Pavilion flew over.
The leader, dressed in a long robe, had a restrained cultivation, like a sword in its sheath.
The sword can shock the world when it is drawn.
Seeing that their faces were a bit serious, Wu Ping asked, "Is this person very powerful?"
"The beauty of jade comes from the border, and the sea of learning is like a boat of books. This person is the one they are talking about. Book, boat, jade, the genius prodigy of the Three Thousand Book Pavilion, born in the uninhabited borderland of the southwest, should have been an ordinary person, living a mediocre life. Later, his family was robbed, and only he survived."
"At the age of thirteen, he set foot on the road of seeking knowledge and came all the way south to pilgrimage to the Sacred Land of scholars in this world, the Three Thousand Book Pavilion. At the age of twenty, he arrived at the Liangyi Mountain, and no one knows how he came all the way."
"But he arrived."
"In a moment of enlightenment, he caused the study palace on Liangyi Mountain to tremble, and the Confucian and Taoist sacred object, the Wenshan Inkstone, flew to him and recognized him as its master."
"With one step, he entered the Spirit Channeling Realm, ten steps to Soul Ascension, a hundred steps to Soul Sea, a thousand steps to Spirit Palace, ten thousand steps to Dragon Transformation. When he reached the Liangyi Mountain, he borrowed the natural energy of heaven and earth to achieve Dragon Transformation in one day, and his name shook the world."
"In the Three Thousand Book Pavilion, countless Confucian and Taoist experts begged to accept him as a disciple, but because of his young age, he is only twenty-two this year. I personally think that I only have a thirty percent chance of winning against him."
Wu Ping: "A thirty percent chance of winning against him?"
Four Eyes shook his head: "A thirty percent chance of killing him, but a seventy percent chance of defeating him!"
Wu Ping:
"I have a friend who is as arrogant as you. He told me that since the day he started practicing, he knew that he would be invincible in the world. But he doesn't pretend as smoothly as you do, and you even have to help others. He just talks big."
Wu Ping is really something.
He talks about how amazing this person is, but then turns around and tells himself that he is 90% confident he can defeat him.
Speechless.
Then why do you act so serious?
But compared to Wu Qi, this person does have some impressive skills.
Praising others, while also highlighting oneself.
Wu Ping has learned.
Shuzhou Yu stood by without intervening.
Just silently waiting for the conversation between the two to end.
Four Eyes bows and says, "Well, well, Shu benefactor, are you here to capture this monk and Wu benefactor?"
But Shuzhou Yu ignores Four Eyes completely.
Staring straight at Wu Ping, who is sitting alone next to him.
"Shuzhou Yu, I have seen Fellow Daoist. There is a feast at home. Would Fellow Daoist honor us with your presence?"
Seeing that Shuzhou Yu is ignoring him.
Four Eyes is not embarrassed, just takes a step back.
Wu Ping is confused, "Do you know me?"
Shuzhou Yu nods, "The true meaning of the book is revealed in the book itself. On September 20th, xxxx, Fellow Daoist said that one should keep learning until old age, and that there is always a way up the mountain of books and the sea of learning. Furthermore, you said that in a group of three, there must be someone I can learn from."
"The profoundness of these golden words resonated with Shuzhou Yu. When I came from the west, I was inspired by your diligence and joy in hardship. Passing through the fields of farmers, I also learned a thing or two from their wisdom."
"After that, Shuzhou Yu wrote many articles, but failed to grasp the profundity within them."
"On that day, when I saw these golden words, I had a great realization. I understood that Fellow Daoist is a person of great wisdom, and Bai Yu felt the desire to make your acquaintance."
"But due to some matters, I was unable to go to the northern region to find Fellow Daoist."
"Later, when Shuzhou Yu read the excerpts from the Heaven Connecting River, a book by a great Confucian scholar, I felt something in my heart. I saw the rolling river water flowing all the way, and I sat in the study hall, hoping to write a good sentence."
"Then I saw the shining jade pillar, with words falling on it. Don't you see the water of the Yellow River coming from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning? Don't you see the bright mirror in the high hall, reflecting the sorrow of white hair turning gray overnight? Life is short, so enjoy it to the fullest. Don't let the golden goblet be empty when facing the moon. Heaven has given me talent, so I must make use of it. Even if I lose all my wealth, I will regain it."
"Finally, I titled it 'Respectful Toast,' which was also written by Fellow Daoist."
As he speaks, Four Eyes and Wu Ping can clearly feel Shuzhou Yu's helplessness.
Indeed, he is very helpless.
He felt like he was living in Wu Ping's shadow.
Every time he had an insight.
He wanted to come up with profound and eloquent words.
But Wu Ping always beat him to it.
And he could even stir up the talents and scholars in the academy.
This also proved that his direction was correct.
But he was slow!
Just slower than Wu Ping.
Slow in every aspect.
The first time was admiration, the second time was unwillingness.
He had the idea of collecting information about Wu Ping.
But when he looked, he was shocked.
"The great Peng soars with the wind, ascending ninety thousand miles high; the sea knows no bounds, the sky becomes its shore; I climb to the summit, becoming the peak."
When he saw these words.
The Book Boat Jade instantly became good friends with Wu Ping.
Today, he heard that Wu Ping had arrived and got into an argument with someone. He didn't even bother copying the scriptures, he came down the mountain directly to lend a hand.
But when he arrived, he found out that the fight was already over.
He also saw his long-time friend, the Perfected Being.
Their eyes met, filled with a strange look towards Wu Ping.
This person is truly a monster.
Although he has traveled to more than three thousand study rooms, those three thousand study rooms have already spread his name.
Even someone as extraordinary as Book Boat Jade admires him greatly.
But Wu Ping is puzzled.
"Is this academy really that amazing? Can it know the verses I recite from such a distance?"
Four Eyes explained, "Lord Wu, these three thousand study rooms suppress the talents of the Confucian scholars in the world. It is the Sacred Land of scholars. Any words that can stir up talent will be engraved on them, to help spread the name among scholars."
Book Boat Jade said, "That's correct."
Wu Ping stood up and said, "Well then, let's go. We can eat again. At least they invited us in person."
I'm fine too, I can't ignore this face.
Going out for a meal and a drink won't delay the upcoming matters.
Perhaps I can also gather some more information about the Tai Shan King's tomb.
Close to the Three Thousand Study Room.
The control power over the Tai Shan King's tomb, of course, belongs to the Three Thousand Study Room, which is the most dominant.
Four Eyes followed closely with a thick-skinned face.
It seems that Wu Ping is still unaware of the information about this academy.
He said, "Please prepare yourself, benefactor."
"What kind of preparation?"
"You will know when the time comes, benefactor."
"Are you looking for trouble?"
"It's not to be said, it's not to be said. It's a surprise."
Seeing this monk acting mysteriously, Wu Ping couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him.
The onlookers on both sides, upon seeing the arrival of Shu Zhouyu, initially thought there would be a great battle to capture Wu Ping and Sì Mù.
But the result was that they bowed and waited quietly on the side.
Now they are even leading the way forward.
Aren't they going to fight?
Shouldn't they be capturing Wu Ping and Sì Mù?
Why is it not happening?
It's fine if Sì Mù shows respect to Wu Ping.
Shu Zhouyu, you are famous throughout the world, a Confucian prodigy of the Dragon Transformation in a day.
Why are you so polite to a demonic cultivator?
"Could it be that Shu Zhouyu and Wu Ping know each other? Do they have a previous connection?"
"I don't know. I've never heard of it before. In theory, Wu Ping comes from the Northern Seven Blood Sect, while Shu Zhouyu is a disciple of the Three Thousand Book Pavilion. There is quite a distance between the north and the south. Moreover, Shu Zhouyu is known for his cold temperament and almost never leaves the Three Thousand Book Pavilion."
"Where did he go to meet Wu Ping?"
"Furthermore, Wu Ping is a demonic cultivator. This is strange. Sì Mù has a good relationship with Wu Ping, and Shu Zhouyu also has a good relationship with him. What kind of charm does this person have?"
"That Four Eyes said Wu Ping is not even twenty years old? Where did he go to make so many friends, and they are all extraordinary talents."
"Let it go, let it go. The people of the Three Thousand Study Pavilion handle their own affairs. It's not our place to interfere. But now that the Book Boat and Jade Dew have appeared, the people of the Qi Tian Battle Mansion can only swallow their pride. A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake."
As everyone was talking, a burst of golden light suddenly appeared in the sky above the hanging White Mountain, and the Literary Aura filled the entire world.
The scent of books naturally emanated.
In the heavens and the earth, a huge golden book materialized.
Countless scholars were filled with excitement.
"This is the manifestation of the holy site of the Talent Palace. I, as a scholar, will witness the emergence of a true dragon!"
"Talent and literary fragrance fill the sky. Is this the book of famous quotes and sayings from that senior brother? A book that will be passed down through the ages?"
"The exquisite poetry and prose come from the heavens, and the rare ancient books are occasionally discovered. Before, it was Senior Brother Book Boat and Jade who used the talent of the heavens and the earth to transform into a dragon. Could it be that today another peerless genius will emerge, bringing luck to us scholars?"
"Seeking fresh flowers..."
"It must be Senior Brother Lu. Senior Brother Lu has been in seclusion for ten years, just to create that legendary book. He must have succeeded, hahaha."
"Don't speak nonsense. It must be Senior Brother Li. Senior Brother Li has traveled the world and seems to have gained enlightenment. His insights today will leave a mark in the rankings in the future!"
"Stop arguing. Regardless of which senior brother it is, we are all scholars, disciples of the Three Thousand Study Pavilion. I have already prepared a gift, waiting for the manifestation of the holy site. After carefully reading it, I will give the gift to the senior brother and seek his guidance. Isn't that wonderful?"
The excited students of the Three Thousand Study Pavilion exclaimed.
Although there are many people in the world who study, compared to those who cultivate their spirits, those who possess talent and literary refinement are truly rare.
Every time a genius appears, it is heaven's favor to the scholars.
In the words of these scholars, it means that the scholars have gained another treasure, suppressing the luck of us scholars.
Of course, this is not just empty talk.
Scholars cultivate their talent and literary refinement.
But not every scholar can trigger the manifestation of the holy site of the Talent Palace.
This is not something easily obtained.
The last time the holy site manifested was when that Book Boat and Jade appeared.
Two years ago.
When the talent and literary refinement converged, he became the contemporary leader of talent!
Apart from these destined scholars, there is another situation.
That is the person who has realized the immortal phrase and created a classic that will be passed down through the ages.
They have gained recognition from the talents of heaven and earth!
The Academy of Talent showcases their divine achievements, helping to spread their name and inspiring students from all over the world.
Let thousands of students see the true meaning within it, observe, learn, and comprehend!
Beneficial to students all over the world!

The text provided is a poem or passage written in Chinese. Here is the translation:
Golden Book Three Shakes.
"Three shakes, it's three shakes, quickly look at the content!!"
Someone read it word by word.
"Mountains of books have paths, diligence is the way; the sea of learning has no limits, hardship is the boat."
"Great!! Well said!!! We, as students, should be like this, taking diligence as the path, enduring hardships as the boat, climbing the mountain of books, crossing the sea of learning, only then can we achieve greatness and make contributions to the world!"
"That's well said, isn't this a portrayal of us scholars? Senior Brother Shuzhou is just an exception, we scholars, before we rise, who among us doesn't have limited strength?"
Please note that the translation provided is a literal translation and may not capture the full meaning or cultural nuances of the original text.
A lifetime spent studying the sea, climbing the mountain of books a hundred times. It's tough, so tough, but we scholars must find joy in hardship, hahaha!
"These wise words, I wonder who said them. I must pay a visit to that senior brother, even if it's just to catch a glimpse from afar. That would be wonderful."
"Can't it be a senior sister? Why does it have to be a senior brother? Why can't it be a senior sister who said it?"
"Well... I didn't say it couldn't be a senior sister, it just slipped out. Senior sister is fine too, senior sister is fine."
"Hmph, that's more like it. It must be a senior sister, it's my intuition."
As the atmosphere grew heated,
The eagerly awaited name did not appear.
Instead, the book trembled once again.
This time, the Confucian scholars were completely unsettled.
"Could it be that this senior brother has had an epiphany twice?"
"Definitely, otherwise he wouldn't hide his name and make the book tremble again!"
"There are words, there are words, look, look!"
When the three characters for "toast" appeared,
The faces of many cultivators from out of town changed.
Since the day when Wu Ping's name was mentioned, some people have searched for information based on this name.
In the western region, where the Seven Blood Sect and the Diamond Sect confront each other, Wu Ping once recited a toast there.
Could it be that a demonic cultivator would be recognized by the Confucian Sacred Land's sacred object?
TOTD!
Yes, Wu Ping said that the toast was not written by him.
But by a senior named Li Bai.
It must not be Wu Ping!!!
At this moment, they still held fantasies in their hearts.
The relationship between Buddhist cultivators and demonic cultivators is not good, so can the relationship between Confucian cultivators and demonic cultivators be good?
Demonic cultivators are the ones who deviate from the right path the most.
Naturally, they don't believe it.
But in this world, where did Li Bai come from?
Only Wu Ping.
As the golden book pages turned, the handwriting became clear.
The true meaning was about to emerge.
"This... this... this is such boldness!"
"Born with talent, it will surely be useful. Even if all the wealth is spent, will it truly come back?"
"You don't understand. What this senior brother means is that you don't need to be confused by past difficulties. Look at the present, just strive!"
Although the intention is not as profound as "There is a way up the mountain if you are diligent, and the sea of learning has no cliffs if you work hard," it is still worthy of a shock.
Four shocks have passed, why hasn't the name of this senior brother appeared yet? I can't wait to see who this senior brother is, or perhaps it is that Master.
Got it, got it, Wu... Ping?
Is this Wu Ping the senior brother? Who knows?
Does anyone know the information about Senior Brother Wu Ping, where he lives, and if he is a student of that Master?
How could it be Wu Ping? Isn't he a cultivator?
What!? A demonic cultivator!!!
