I became famous for writing ridiculous stories in ancient times

Sheng Wen won the first place in the preliminary round of alchemy.

Many people were very surprised.

Because in their opinion, alchemy is undoubtedly the specialty of Jinghu Dao, which can be seen from the number of participants. Other places only have one or two people participating in the alchemy competition, but Jinghu Dao has five people participating. The unique clothes embroidered with alchemy furnaces have attracted much attention.

But all five people lost?

And they lost to an unknown boy!

For a while, everyone was talking about it.

"Who is that?"

"I haven't heard of him, and he looks unfamiliar."

"It seems to be Sheng Wen. I have never heard of this name, and I have never heard of any family with the surname Sheng who is good at alchemy. It can be seen that he is a newcomer."

"It's amazing."

"Look, look, those people from Jinghu Road are walking towards him!"

"Wow, are they going to fight?"

"Hurry, hurry, let's go and see what they say!"

Because the place where the Juren competition is held is different from the place where the Xiucai competition is held, there are young teenagers around who are similar to Sheng Wen. They saw the five people from Jinghu Road walking towards Sheng Wen and surrounded him.

At this time, Sheng Wen's face was full of joy.

Chen San patted his shoulder and said, "Hahaha, Sheng Wen, you did a good job. If you can get the first place in alchemy, then we can have a good ranking."

Sheng Wen happily replied, "I will work hard."

He didn't expect that he could get the first place, and immediately there was a wave of excitement in his heart.

At this time, the five people from Jinghu Dao had already walked in front of Sheng Wen.

The leader was a young man with an arrogant look. He raised his chin and said to Sheng Wen: "Don't think that you have won one game, and you have defeated us. There are two more important games to come. Let's wait and see!"

Sheng Wen was not willing to be outdone, and replied "I will accompany you to the end."

So the finals began the next day.

There were only 20 people participating in this round, and Sheng Wen and the five people from Jinghu Dao were on the list. This time the test was to choose the one you wanted from the 999 Chinese medicinal materials, and auction them on the spot after refining the elixir. The one with the highest bid won.

The five people from Jinghu Dao looked at Sheng Wen with disdain.

The young man who said the harsh words said: "We in Jinghu Dao have been specializing in alchemy for thousands and tens of thousands of years. There are many masters of alchemy, and new elixirs are emerging in an endless stream."

"The first place will definitely be ours!"

Sheng Wen ignored them and buried his head in selecting the medicinal materials he wanted.

After hearing that the first prize was "the highest bidder wins", the name of a pill emerged in his mind, that is, "Dingyan Pill". As the name suggests, this pill can stabilize one's appearance after taking it.

Every time the "Dingyan Pill" appears, it can be sold at a high price. Especially for some men and women who love beauty, they don't care how much it is worth, but they will empty their family's savings to get it.

Of course, its refining difficulty is also very high.

So in the following time, Sheng Wen was fully focused.

At the same time, the five people from Jinghu Road also started to refine pills. Their movements were smooth, and compared with other people who challenged high difficulty but had furnace explosions from time to time, they seemed very professional and produced pills one after another.

The pills refined by two of them even triggered "strange phenomena", indicating that the two pills were extraordinary.

But none of these affected Sheng Wen.

As the last pill formula was entered, the ancient alchemy furnace in front of him suddenly exuded a strange fragrance, which made people feel refreshed when they smelled it. Then two crimson pills flew out.

The "Dingyan Pill" was refined!

As early as when Sheng Wen was refining the elixir, other participants in the competition and the spectators who came to watch had paid more attention to him. Now that he saw that his elixir was refined, many people looked over.

Then someone exclaimed, "That's Dingyan Pill!"

"He actually refined Dingyan Pill, incredible, incredible."

Then the Dingyan Pill was sold at a very high price in the auction. Even though the five people from Jinghu Dao actually refined elixirs of higher grade than Dingyan Pill, they still lost to Sheng Wen.

He won the first place in alchemy.

Because Sheng Wen had only been a scholar for a few years and did not know anything else except alchemy, he did not participate in other competitions in the next few days, but cheered for Chen San, Jin Caixiu, Fu Lulu and others.

They had wins and losses, and finally Huainan Dao's points entered the top ten.

Then came the team competition.

The team competition adopted the ring format.

Winners advance, losers retreat, and finally all 36 teams competed to determine the rankings and get points corresponding to the rankings. The highest point of the team competition plus the individual competition points is the first place.

During the team competition, a dark horse emerged.

That was Guangnan Dao, who was evaluated by Chen San as "My sister can beat fifteen or even twenty people by herself, and I can beat two." They didn't know what they did. All the teams that competed with them collapsed to the ground not long after they stepped onto the ring, and then they were thrown under the ring one by one like throwing chickens.

Guangnan Dao was unstoppable, and even the powerful Hedong Dao lost.

Sheng Wen and others who were watching from the stage looked solemn.

Gou Erniu saw the people of Guangnan Dao pulling the unconscious opponents to the edge of the ring one by one and pushing them down, and couldn't help but smack his lips, "Sheng Wen, do you see anything?"

"It's your turn to compete with them."

Chen San also nodded, "Our next opponent is Jinghu Dao, and the next one is Guangnan Dao. I remember you asked me about Guangnan Dao on the first day. Did you see anything at that time?"

"Did they poison me?"

Sheng Wen didn't expect his premonition to be so accurate.

The first time he met the people from Guangnan Dao, even though Chen San said he could beat them two by himself, Sheng Wen still felt that they were not simple. Even the fragrance on them gave him a very dangerous feeling. In fact, it was the same. After the people from Guangnan Dao won in the same way, others had actually begun to guard against them.

But until now, they didn't even find out how they poisoned me.

Wait, fragrance?

Sheng Wen had an idea, "Well, I'll go back and look for it."

He felt that the breakthrough might be the fragrance they carried on their bodies, and if he found the way to poison them, both prevention and detoxification would become simple, and it would not be difficult for him, the first in the alchemy competition.

Sheng Wen, who was immersed in finding a way to detoxify, was a little absent-minded during the competition with Jinghu Dao the next day, which made the six teenagers on the opposite side very angry, thinking that he was despising them. So they surrounded Sheng Wen and attacked him, and then were defeated one by one by Chen Liu and others, and Huainan Dao won easily.

This made the teenagers of Jinghu Dao even more angry, saying that Sheng Wen should be careful when he went to Jinghu Dao in the future, and they would definitely give him a big gift.

Of course, Sheng Wen would not care about their threats.

That night, Sheng Wen finally discovered the poisoning method of the people of Guangnan Dao from some jade slips about alchemy medicinal materials. It turned out that they really used the fragrance of flowers. Because the people of Guangnan Dao love flowers, every household will grow flowers, and both men and women love to fumigate their clothes, so no one doubts the fragrance of flowers on them.

As for why the people outside the ring were not poisoned, it was because that kind of poison needed a medicine guide, and the people of Guangnan Dao would only take out the medicine guide on the ring.

After discovering the reason, Sheng Wen decisively refined a targeted detoxification pill.

Then Huainan Dao defeated Guangnan Dao.

In the next competition, Guangnan Dao lost to Jingxi Dao, which was full of sword cultivators. Sword cultivators are indeed powerful people who can fight ten people alone. Even if they are poisoned, they are unyielding.

But the poisoning still affected the performance of the six people from Jingxi Dao, so when they competed the next day, they lost to Sheng Wen and others who cooperated tacitly. But the six people from Huainan Dao also paid a very high price to win the competition with Jingxi Dao. For example, Jin Caixiu and Fu Lulu, who were not good at fighting, were seriously injured in this competition, and had to let the substitutes Dao Ting, Gou Erniu, and Shang Wulang take turns to play in the next competition.

Fortunately, their strength is not weak.

So in the end, Huainan Dao won the first place in the team competition. The score added by the first place in the team competition is very amazing, and in the end, Huainan Dao won the first place in the competition.

As one of the heroes, Sheng Wen also gained a lot of benefits.

For example, the quota for medicinal springs, the opportunity to study in the best academy in the court, the letters and advice from great scholars, the opportunity to compete with other countries, the extra points in the examination for the juren, etc.

Finally, at the age of 23, Sheng Wen passed the examination for the juren.

(Part 1 is over)

After writing the last few words, Fu Wenyu put down his pen.

The story of "Imperial Examination for Immortality" tells the story of the protagonist Sheng Wen, who went from a young child to a scholar, a juren, a jinshi, etc., and finally ascended to become an immortal.

Because the time span is too long, Fu Wenyu plans to write it in three parts.

The first part describes Sheng Wen's growth from a young child to a juren, and his life span has reached 200 years. By the way, through Sheng Wen's experience, the setting, background and main characters of the "world of cultivation" are introduced.

The second part plans to write about Sheng Wen's participation in the competitions held in various countries, and his experience of traveling around and honing himself after the competition. By the way, he used his vision to further expand the map, introducing cities, secret realms, skills, characters, rare treasures, etc. with their own characteristics.

During this period, there was passion and slapping.

For example, several young men from Jinghu Road who had a grudge with Sheng Wen in the competition told Sheng Wen to be careful when he went to Jinghu Road in the future. When Sheng Wen really went there, they really came to cause trouble.

But in the end, Sheng Wen kicked them out one by one and defeated them all in alchemy.

The ending of the second part is that Sheng Wen, who returned from his travels, passed the exam without any dispute and became famous all over the world.

The third part is Sheng Wen's experience as an official.

Here he writes about his experience in the six ministries, or governing a region, or inspecting the world on behalf of the emperor, as well as the subsequent situations of some characters who appeared in the previous article.

For example, Chen San finally became a master of weapon training.

For example, Chen Liu traveled the world with a sword on his back and challenged various strong men.

For example, Gou Erniu trained the contracted spirit tiger into a very powerful spirit beast;

For example, Fu Lulu and Jin Caixiu got married.

For example, with the help of their son, Sheng Wen's parents passed the imperial examination and made continuous progress in their respective fields.

In the end, Sheng Wen completed his merits and ascended to become an immortal.

So "Imperial Examination and Immortality" is the most wordy story written by Fu Wenyu. According to his estimation, the three parts together have more than 500,000 words.

At present, he has only finished the first part.

As for the two subsequent parts, he does not plan to write them for the time being. He is going to see the sales of the first part so as to make some minor adjustments to the subsequent content.

So after handing over the last tens of thousands of words of the first part to Zhang, Fu Wenyu was free.

He spent all his time on the construction of the hot spring villa.

After the basic construction of the hot spring villa was completed, the first phase of the amusement facilities, such as the "haunted house", "slide", and "treasure hunt", were also completed. Fu Wenyu was eager to start advertising.

He chose many ways to advertise.

The first way was to take a pseudonym, then write a travel note and send it to Liuzhou tabloids. The place to visit was of course the hot spring villa that was about to open. It was described in detail from a first-person perspective how fun it was.

The second way was to directly publish in Liuzhou tabloids that on a certain day of a certain month, a hot spring villa was open in a certain place, and everyone was welcome to visit. All those who went to play would receive a gift, etc.

The third way was to send "day tickets" to all customers who had bought Fu Wenyu's hardcover version of the storybook. The number of "day tickets" was given to the number of copies purchased. In order to attract customers, Fu Wenyu also discussed with Zhang the shopkeeper and randomly selected some customers who bought the regular version and gave them the same "day ticket".

The fourth method is to hire some people and let them promote it everywhere.

The fifth method is to write a storybook.

Half a month before the official opening of the hot spring villa, Fu Wenyu wrote an ancient infinite flow storybook related to the background of the "haunted house" in the villa under the pen name "Yin Yang Scholar". The name of the storybook is "Dream Man".
