The First Saint of Alchemy

Hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

In the past, when the three spiritual academies came to register, there would be more or less friction, but most of them were verbal attacks, and because of face, the words were not sharp, and the situation of showing the truth on the spot had never happened.

"Don't rush for this moment, two months later, at the foot of Qingle Peak, let's fight again then!" The prince ordered loudly.

Lingwu Academy was unwilling to disobey the prince's words. Although the number one person in Lingwu Academy was dissatisfied with Tang Yan, he could only stare blankly.

"Since everyone has no objection to the rules of the competition, please ask the deans of the three academies to come and check the signatures. Two months later, the spiritual academy competition will officially begin!" The prince waved his hand and signaled to withdraw.

Tang Yan complained wildly in his heart, running all the way here, just for these few minutes?

Fortunately, he came to the imperial city for something important.

After leaving the hall, Xiao Cangshan looked at Tang Yan and sighed, "We have offended the Left Prime Minister this time. You must be careful in the future."

"I will." Tang Yan hesitated and said, "President, even if we are late, we should be asked to explain the reason. Why reprimand us directly? The Left Prime Minister is very hostile to our Qinglong Court."

Xiao Cangshan sighed and said, "The Left Prime Minister has been very hostile to our Qinglong Court over the years..."

"President Xiao, please stay!" Xiao Cangshan was interrupted by a sharp voice just halfway through his words.

Turning his head, he found that it was a eunuch who was rushing over.

Xiao Cangshan recognized this person, bowed and smiled and asked, "Eunuch Wei, I wonder why I am called?"

"Is this Tang Yan?" Eunuch Wei looked at Tang Yan and asked.

"It is me, Eunuch Wei looking for me?" Tang Yan was a little confused.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince invites Mr. Tang to the study to have a chat." Eunuch Wei said respectfully.

Xiao Cangshan and the others were surprised when they heard this. Ziyun asked directly, "Tang Yan, are you old acquaintances with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"This is my first time in the imperial city. How could I have seen the Crown Prince?" Tang Yan shook his head and asked curiously, "Eunuch Wei, do you know why the Crown Prince wants me to do something?"

"I don't know, but the Crown Prince has ordered me to do so. Please move, Mr. Tang." Eunuch Wei urged.

Xiao Cangshan waved his hand and said, "Go and see. Go ahead."

Tang Yan nodded and followed Eunuch Wei.

After turning left and right in the palace for a long time, he finally stopped in front of the upper study.

"Mr. Tang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is inside. Go in directly. I won't follow you."

Tang Yan thanked him and said to himself that he would make the best of it. He walked towards the upper study.

South side of the upper study.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stood in front of the table, practicing calligraphy with great interest. Seeing Tang Yan come in, he did not greet him.

Tang Yan didn't feel embarrassed, and didn't disturb the prince. He was very interested in observing the study room.

"The royal reading place is really not simple." Looking at the dazzling array of books, Tang Yan was quite amazed.

The books here are all-encompassing, including humanities and geography, unorthodox teachings, pharmacopoeias, and martial arts.

"You are interesting. Others wait on the side, but you feel like you are at home." The prince finally put down his pen and smiled at Tang Yan.

Tang Yan didn't know what the prince meant. Was he praising himself? Or was he waiting for him to admit it, and then impose a crime of disrespecting the royal family on him?

"The prince is kind and loves the people, making people feel like spring breeze, so I don't feel strange. Please forgive me for my impoliteness!"

"Mr. Tang, there is no need to be restrained. I saw that you are more compatible, so I asked you to come over and chat casually. What do you think of my handwriting?" The prince pointed to the words on the table and asked.

Tang Yan glanced at the table and saw the words: "The kite hangs on the eastern branch, waiting to fly with the wind."

The words are good, but the font is a bit too graceful.

Although the words are not upright, they are also quite charming, and he praised: "Good words."

"If you go deeper and touch my heart, there will be a big reward!"

If there is a reward, you should have said it earlier. Tang Yan smiled and asked hurriedly: "What reward?"

The prince did not expect Tang Yan to be so direct. He was slightly stunned, and then laughed dumbly: "Pellets, weapons, martial arts, and even silver, as long as you speak well, you can ask me for these!"

Tang Yan was stunned, his eyes fell on the paper again, and said: "The words are good, and they express the mind of hiding your weapons and waiting for the right time and having lofty ambitions. Very good!"

"That's it?" The prince raised his eyebrows and said unhappily: "Flattering words! No reward!"

Masochism, don't like to hear nice things, right?

Tang Yan calmed down and continued, "Your Highness, don't worry. I only said half of it just now.

Your Highness's handwriting is indeed good, but it lacks a bit of sharpness. It implies sadness, depression, helplessness, and lacks the spirit of a crown prince."

After that, Tang Yan picked up the pen and wrote on the paper: "Drunk on the lap of a beauty!"

Seeing Tang Yan's flowing and unrestrained handwriting, a trace of amazement flashed in the prince's eyes. I didn't expect that Tang Yan, a warrior, could write such a poetic word.

When reading the content, the prince couldn't help laughing, and a flash of envy flashed in his eyes, saying: "Drunk on the lap of a beauty. Mr. Tang's attitude towards life is really free and easy, which makes people envious!"

Tang Yan didn't say anything and continued to write: "Wake up and hold the power to kill!"

The prince, who was originally smiling, saw this sentence, and the smile on his face gradually solidified, staring at these five words in a daze.

After a long while, he raised his head and laughed: "I thought Mr. Tang was just a carefree playboy, but I didn't expect he had such a broad mind. A man should have the power to kill people and sleep drunk on the lap of a beauty!"

Instantly, the prince looked up to Tang Yan. After a moment of silence, the prince asked, "Do you know why the left prime minister targeted your Qinglong Academy today?"

"Because Qinglong Academy was late." Tang Yan answered honestly.

"You think too simply. The left prime minister targeted Qinglong Academy because Qinglong Academy has never been controlled by the left prime minister!

This is also the real reason why Qinglong Academy has been at the bottom of the competition for three consecutive times and has not been banned!" The prince said sternly.

Tang Yan was awed. This royal affair was the most complicated. He did not want to get involved, so he kept silent.

The prince probably didn't want Tang Yan to talk to him, so he continued, "Since His Majesty's health has been deteriorating, the Left Prime Minister has become more and more excessive.

Over the years, he has gained a lot of military power.

And nearly half of the troops and talents in the imperial city are selected from the three major spiritual academies.

Over the years, the Left Prime Minister has been secretly recruiting talents from the spiritual academies without telling the royal family, and they have become the seedlings that the Left Prime Minister's mansion focuses on cultivating.

In the long run, the masters of the Left Prime Minister's mansion are enough to pose a threat to the royal family.

In the past, the Left Prime Minister would recruit talents from various academies in secret, but in recent years, his actions have become more and more aggressive, and he has even blatantly colluded with the other two major spiritual academies!"

"Lingwu Academy and Tianxuan Academy pretended to be stupid about the Left Prime Minister's actions, and even fueled the flames. The talents that should have flowed into the royal family disappeared.

Only Qinglong Academy has always refused to compromise with the Left Prime Minister, and is regarded as a thorn in the eye by the Left Prime Minister.

The support that the imperial city gives to the three major spiritual academies has always been the responsibility of the Left Prime Minister.

Qinglong Academy gets the least resources every time, and its innate advantages are insufficient, so the level of its students every year is not as good as that of the other two academies."
