The first dragon of all time

After waiting for about half an hour, a middle-aged man wearing a five-clawed dragon robe walked into the hall surrounded by golden-armored guards, old eunuchs and palace maids. It was Lu Qianming, who Long Qingchen had seen in the inn, who was also the eldest son. Fuck the current emperor of the empire!

At that time, in the inn, Lu Qianming visited Taoist Qiling with the courtesy of a junior, with a relatively low posture, without the slightest power of the emperor.

Now, Lu Qianming felt a sense of majesty. Wherever he looked, the disciples lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.

"Your Majesty is here!"

The old eunuch shouted, without pinching his throat, but his voice was very high-pitched, as if it could penetrate the hall.

"Long live my emperor, long live long live."...

The disciples knelt on one knee one after another.

Only ordinary people will kneel down.

As cultivators, it is the highest courtesy for them to kneel down on one knee.

"presumptuous!"

Hundreds of disciples were kneeling. Only Long Qingchen and Nangong Wan'er stood, very conspicuous, like standing out from the crowd. The old eunuch looked over with a stern look and shouted, "You guys, why don't you kneel?"

"Kneel to the sky, kneel to the ground, kneel to your parents, and the rest will not kneel."

Long Qingchen's expression was indifferent. No matter who he faced, he would always give this answer.

Nangong Wan'er's beautiful eyes were calm, and it was obvious that this was what she meant.

"Forget it, cultivators don't stick to trivial matters, why do you need to be polite?"

Lu Qianming waved his hand calmly, ascended to the main seat, and looked at the other disciples, "Everyone, please get up too."

The disciples then stood up and couldn't help but glance at Long Qingchen and Nangong Wan'er with a little envy. They had no backers behind them and had angered Emperor Daqian. Even ten heads were not enough to chop them off.

"You are all new disciples of the Daqian Royal Academy. You can be called the young geniuses who are one in ten thousand. After a few years, you will graduate from the Daqian Royal Academy. Whether you return to your hometown or stay in the Daqian Empire to serve, you can be on your own. "

"Of course, from my personal standpoint, I naturally hope that you will stay and serve in the Daqian Empire."

"If you are willing to stay, the empire will definitely use you!"

Lu Qianming encouraged his disciples a few words, then looked at the old eunuch and said, "Declare the decree."

The old eunuch unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and read it loudly, "By the fate of heaven, the emperor decrees: The Royal Academy is the holy place for selecting talents for the empire. There are currently 512 new disciples, all of whom can be made. The empire should focus on cultivating this material, and specially award it with the Great Competition as an encouragement."

"First place: Long Qingchen, granted the honorary title of Viscount, with a settlement of 3,000 households, and a gift of 10,000 spiritual stones."

"Second place: Xiang Beining, granted the title of honorary baron, a settlement of 1,000 households, and a gift of 5,000 spiritual stones."

"Third place to eighth place: Grant spiritual stones, two thousand."

"Ninth to sixty-fourth: Granted spiritual stones, one thousand."

"The rest: Grant spiritual stones, one hundred."

"Appreciate this!"

The disciples at the bottom were a little surprised. Unexpectedly, all of them got rewards.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Long live my emperor!"......

They thanked each other and were extremely grateful.

One hundred spiritual stones may not be a big deal to a disciple from a big family, but to a disciple from a common family, it is not a small sum of money and can be regarded as a windfall.

The higher the ranking, the richer the reward. However, there was one thing that Long Qingchen didn't quite understand, so he asked Mu Qingxue, "What does it mean to live in a city of three thousand households?"

Mu Qingxue explained in a low voice, "The imperial titles generally have fiefs, and the taxes paid by the people in the fiefs are the salary of the title. However, this honorary Viscount is a virtual title. There is no actual fief, and you can only receive the salary. Calculate it based on three thousand households."

Long Qingchen was a little disappointed, "In other words, apart from being nicer and getting more money, it has no use?"

Mu Qingxue rolled her eyes at him angrily, "That's about it..."

It seems that the spirit stone is more reliable. Long Qingchen immediately stood up and asked, "Can I cash in this viscount and exchange it for the spirit stone?"

Discount?

The disciples almost spurted blood, could he have some face?

The guards and maids also suppressed their faces until their faces turned red. They wanted to laugh but didn't dare. They had to keep a serious look, which was uncomfortable.

"Be bold!"

The old eunuch looked embarrassed and shouted angrily, "The title of the empire is an honor, how can it be compared with the spiritual stone? You are disrespectful to the empire!"

He suddenly bowed to Lu Qianming and said, "I beg your Majesty to strip him of his title and put him in jail as a warning to others!"

Long Qingchen looked at the old eunuch curiously, "You have targeted me again and again. Let me guess who you are, the third princess and the fourth prince?"

The old eunuch's expression changed slightly, then he regained his composure and coldly snorted, "I am only loyal to Your Majesty!"

"Yeah?"

Long Qingchen looked indifferent and noncommittal.

The old eunuch said coldly, "I'm just discussing the matter and not targeting anyone. If you did something wrong, of course I have to point it out!"

"It's not that serious."

Lu Qianming waved his hand slightly, looked at Long Qingchen helplessly, and said calmly, "For people in the empire, a title is identity and status, and it is also a kind of honor. Whether you need it or not, you cannot buy, sell or replace the title. "

"Okay." Long Qingchen couldn't help it.

Lu Qianming ignored him and turned to look at the other disciples with a kind smile.

"I have ordered the imperial dining room to prepare a celebration banquet. You can have your meal before going back."

Obviously, in his eyes, Long Qingchen was the kind of person who could not serve the empire. Looking for Shuyuanｗww.zhaoshｕyuan.com Therefore, he did not put too much thought into Long Qingchen. Instead, he would focus on other disciples in the future. It is possible to serve the Empire.

The disciples thanked him profusely and followed the old eunuch away.

"Wait a moment."

Lu Qianming stopped Long Qingchen.

Long Qingchen had no choice but to stay.

Seeing that Nangong Wan'er also stayed, he waved and said, "You go first."

Long Qingchen winked at Nangong Wan'er, and Nangong Wan'er had no choice but to leave with her disciples.

"The Supreme Elder wants to see you."

After the disciples left, Lu Qianming spoke out and ordered a guard, "Take him there."

Long Qingchen followed the guard and walked into the deepest part of the palace.

The rest of the palace is splendid, but the deepest part is shaded by green trees, like a countryside.

From a distance, I saw an old man sitting cross-legged under an ancient tree, motionless, like a statue. His clothes and hair were covered with fallen leaves, but he didn't notice anything.

"That one is the Supreme Elder. You can go there by yourself."

The guard lowered his voice and spoke, as if he was worried about waking up the Supreme Elder.

After that, he gently turned around and left.

Long Qingchen had no choice but to stroll over alone. When he saw that the old man had no reaction, he was not in a hurry and waited patiently. This was the fourth strong man on the earth rankings, not comparable to the so-called "emperor" Lu Qianming.
