“So, everyone just treats this place as communal.”

Chen Qing wanted to find a place to sit, but he found the room full of manuscripts with almost no space to set foot, so he casually found a stack of books to sit on.

“How’s the situation?”

Miao Shun said excitedly, “The situation is excellent, not just good, but excellent!”

“This is only the eighth day, and ninety-three people’s Gu have successfully ascended!”

“It is estimated that this time nearly three hundred people’s Gu will successfully ascend!”

“When we were in Ye Country, during the most successful time, one thousand people had only one hundred ninety-six successful ascensions. This time, we’re increasing that number by half!”

Chen Qing, with a sullen face, asked, “I know the situation is good now, but this is clearly abnormal!”

“You say you increased by twenty or thirty people, I can believe that. But you’re telling me you exceeded what you did in Ye Country by more than a hundred?”

“What method did you use, exactly? Tell me quickly!”

Upon hearing this, Miao Shun was somewhat displeased. “Lord Wei, we did use some methods, but that’s not the key here!”

“According to the Power Gu Chapter of ‘Nanli Common Gu Theory’ authored by you, the higher the quality of the Gu, the easier it is to predict.”

“Therefore, the thousand people we selected this time all possessed extremely high-quality Gu.”

“So, it should be quite accurate!”

“In Ye Country, Immortal Court, who doesn’t think of a few methods during verification?”

“This is all normal; what we want is this shocking effect!”

“This time, our academy will surely become famous throughout the world!”

Even Jiang Xingchuan, who had always been indifferent to worldly matters, had different thoughts this time. “This time, it’s going to work. We should come up with a good, resounding name for our academy.”

“When the results come out in a few days, Lord Wei will definitely become a renowned literary figure in the cultivation world!”

Chen Qing rubbed his temples, no sweat.

When this book was written, Chen Qing was already under a lot of pressure, fearing it would be discovered.

And these guys went ahead and picked the group in the Qi Refining Realm, which is the easiest to calculate!

Aren’t they exaggerating the effects of his ‘Nanli Common Gu Theory·Power Gu Chapter’?

“Keep a low profile, don’t make a big fuss!”

Chen Qing warned, wanting to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Jiang Xingchuan, “Sir, if it were another matter, I might listen to you.”

“But this matter is not for ordinary people; it concerns the entire Nanli cultivator community!”

“Not a bit of sloppiness is allowed!”

“Even if it costs my position as vice dean, I must do it!”

Miao Shun also said, “Exactly, since we started this Literary Society, we must succeed!”

“Not only succeed but also shock the entire world!”

“Lord Wei, this reputation as Nanli’s literary icon is yours!”

“Even if it means facing axe and blade, I still stand by this!”

Chen Qing felt a headache.

“Alright, do as you wish.”

After saying this, Chen Qing left the dean’s room and returned to the guard palace, avoiding those who came to see him.

In the room, Miao Shun and Jiang Xingchuan were still analyzing in detail.

Miao Shun said, “Why is Lord Wei doing this? He even wants to downplay the evaluation of his Divine Book!”

Jiang Xingchuan said, “It must be because of humility, Lord Wei is always very kind to others.”

Miao Shun nodded, “Indeed, it’s humility.”

Jiang Xingchuan said, “Once it’s done, everyone here will be heroes of Nanli, and by then, we’ll all enjoy the best banquet hosted by Qing Ran!”

Back at the guard palace, Chen Qing washed his face, lay on the bed, and felt the bitter taste of the water droplets on his face as he put them into his mouth.

After a while, Xuanping came in from outside. Chen Qing turned his head, “Did you poison the water?”

Xuanping asked, “Did it work?”

Chen Qing said, “No.”

Chen Qing lay down, Xuanping took off her shoes and sat on him, massaging his muscles.

Feeling the service of the beauty, Chen Qing asked, “What has Sisi been doing lately?”

Xuanping said, “Wandering around the city, saying she wants to see and learn, probably probing military information.”

“She hasn’t missed a single martial arts competition.”

“Recently, she’s been keeping a watch outside the academy.”

Chen Qing said, “She’s started to care about the progress of the Literary Society?”

Xuanping said, “Yes.”

“Today’s numbers probably scared her.”

Chen Qing frowned, “I always feel like I shouldn’t have written this book, like something big is going to happen.”

Xuanping responded, “It is indeed a big matter, but it is a good one.”

“This is the cornerstone of your rise to power.”

“We not only need to keep writing but also call upon all the tribes across the land. Any tribe with over a hundred cultivators should send someone to the academy to study.”

“In this way, all cultivators across Nanli will be at our disposal!”

Chen Qing was confused, “We need to make it even bigger?”

Xuanping continued massaging Chen Qing’s sore muscles, “Yes.”

“I know what you’re worried about. You’re worried that others will find out you can see through Gu.”

“But no one will believe that.”

“It’s just too fantastical.”

“The more afraid you are, the more suspicious others will become, dwelling on that thought.”

“On the contrary, the more arrogant you are, the more everyone will think this is your pinnacle!”

“What we need to do is extend this favor to everyone in Nanli.”

“When that time comes, anyone wanting to move against you will think twice about whether they have the means.”

“With just one command from you, the entire Nanli will be mobilized!”

At last, Chen Qing’s anxious heart settled down.

“You know me well, Ping’er.”

Xuanping lowered the curtain, “Alright, husband, it’s time to rest!”

…

The next morning, Chen Qing got up feeling refreshed. After attending the morning meeting, he headed to the academy.

Chen Qing went to his room, where people were busy, and without saying much, he stated directly, “Since you all wanted to accomplish a big thing yesterday, I will see it through for you!”

“Bring me the list of those whose Power Gu hasn’t ascended yet. I want to calculate personally!”

The teachers in the academy were all delighted upon hearing this, “Nothing could be better than Lord Wei calculating personally!”

Upon hearing Chen Qing would personally calculate, many in the academy put down their work to come and watch.

Chen Qing controlled the numbers, aiming for an accuracy rate of around forty percent, slightly higher than others but not excessively so, allowing three hundred to succeed eventually.

He didn’t need to do much, just pick thirty or so out of a hundred to revise.

When word spread that Chen Qing was personally taking charge, the cultivators in Langya City celebrated at a new level.

They felt as if they were witnessing something monumental, a milestone worthy of being recorded in history.

On average, feeding for fifteen days would complete the process. With eight days gone, there were still seven days left, which should be enough.

On the ninth day, the number of successful Power Gu ascensions rose to one hundred sixty-seven.

On the tenth day, it climbed to two hundred fifty-two.

That day, all of Langya City was engulfed in celebration. Qing Ran ordered free spiritual wine for the entire city, elevating the celebration even higher.

These numbers had already rewritten history.

Chen Qingshu’s ‘Nanli Common Gu Theory·Power Gu Chapter’ had leapfrogged to become the most accurate Daoist book for predicting Power Gu ascensions!

And this was only the tenth day; there would still be a few more successful Power Gu ascensions in the subsequent days.

Even the temple priest sitting quietly in a room felt the matter had spiraled into an unpredictable direction.

Such a significant event would likely prompt the kings to send people seeking the book.

“Who would have thought, this newly ascended king of the South Sea actually made the right bet!”

“If the numbers finally break three hundred, being called the ‘Nanli Literary Icon’ wouldn’t be too much.”

“Such a significant matter should be reported to the higher-ups.”

“The ‘Nanli Common Gu Theory·Power Gu Chapter’ will probably be followed by more writings.”

“Who would have thought this little guy actually succeeded!”

In the academy’s reception hall, Yan Sisi listened to Yang La’s report, “Are you saying he really did it?”

Yang La nodded, “Yes, I witnessed it with my own eyes.”

Suddenly, Yan Sisi’s face turned pale, and her already frail body seemed even less stable.

Yang La hadn’t noticed, continuing to talk, and upon mentioning the successful ascensions, Yan Sisi unexpectedly coughed up blood.

“Miss!”

“Miss, what’s wrong?”

Yan Sisi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, saying, “Hearing you speak, it felt like hearing my brother’s death knell.”

“The situation has already gone too far.”
