An announcement came from the entrance of the school grounds, causing the entire scene on the high platform to change rapidly.
The geniuses who were originally gathered around Fu Chen's grill dispersed with a bang.
In just a few breaths, everyone was back in their places.
While tidying up his appearance, he quietly waited for the arrival of the king.
Only Fu Chen didn't understand anything about welcoming Wang Jia, and the fragrant fox was still roasting on the shelf and couldn't live without him.
So, Fu Chen simply hid in a remote corner and concentrated on roasting the fragrant fox.
He also found a high-sounding reason for himself: wasting food, especially delicious food, is a shameful act!
The distance from the entrance to the school grounds to the high platform in the north is only a few dozen meters.
Close guards and maids holding umbrellas and fans opened the way in front.
King Shang and his entourage walked slowly to the high platform and sat down in the middle seat.
Princess Wushuang, who followed beside her, led her bodyguard back to her seat and did not sit down.
Today, Princess Wushuang's dress is completely different from the plain and simple look she wore when she first met Fu Chen.
Her face is lightly painted with pink and white, she wears a gold walking stick on her head, a white jade pendant hanging from her waist, and she is dressed in rich clothes and fine clothes.
With bright eyes and white teeth, he has a look that will captivate a country; his gaze creates power, and his beauty is overwhelming.
The elegance remains unparalleled, but it is so beautiful that people feel ashamed and dare not look directly at it.
The moment King Shang sat down, everyone present stood up in unison.
They bowed in unison and shouted in unison: "See you, Your Majesty!"
King Shang waved his hand and said: "Everyone, please excuse yourself and take your seats."
After everyone sat down, King Shang looked at the chief on the left and asked.
"As Sister Wang said, where is the strange man that I rescued on my way back to the palace last time? Please call him and let me have a look."
Wushuang turned around and asked Qianyu, "Where is Madam Fu?"
Qian Yu quickly explained what happened before, and finally pointed to the corner of the high platform to answer.
"Report to your Majesty, Your Highness, Mrs. Fu is roasting fragrant fox in the corner."
King Shang laughed loudly and said: "I didn't expect that such an interesting thing would happen today, but I couldn't see it with my own eyes. It's a pity."
Xuanyuan Chengfeng stood up and said: "Your Majesty, King Shang, fighting beasts is nothing more than a game. It's not a pity to miss it.
The charm of Fu Meiren's appearance is rare in the world. If you don't see it with your own eyes, it will be a great regret in the world.
In addition, Mrs. Fu’s roasting skills are superb, and the roasted fox meat is fragrant. Your Majesty can also taste it yourself.”
King Shang was very surprised: "Oh? Chengfeng actually thinks so highly of this person. When he comes, he immediately summons Fu Meiren to come forward."
After receiving the king's order, the guards on the high platform came to Fu Chen and said: "Fu Mei, the king has summoned you."
Fu Chen nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll go over right away. The fragrant fox is also roasted. Please take it off the grill."
After tidying up his appearance a little, Fu Chen followed one of the guards and came to the King of Shang from the middle of the banquet.
"I've met the king!" Fu Chen shouted, cupping his hands in salute, and raised his head to look at King Shang curiously.
The King of Shang in front of him is wearing a nine-pointed crown, a black robe with a black bird pattern, and a big horse with a golden sword, sitting upright on the throne.
From the appearance, he is only in his forties, which is the age when he is in his prime, with a friendly and tolerant smile on his face.
It was completely different from what Fu Chen had speculated before, at least what he should look like when he was sixty or seventy years old.
At this time, Fu Chen also understood that his previous speculation had entered a misunderstanding.
After all, this is not the outside world, and we cannot look at it with the common sense of ancient Yan and Huang times.
The spiritual energy here is rich, and it is not an exaggeration to say that everyone in the entire Dayu state knows how to practice.
Even people without cultivation qualifications will age much slower than the outside world if they are nourished by spiritual energy all year round.
Without using his spiritual sense to explore, Fu Chen was sure that King Shang definitely had some cultivation and was in a pretty good state.
Behind King Shang, there was a middle-aged man who looked like a personal bodyguard.
He seemed to blend in with his surroundings, and even with his own eyes, he wouldn't notice the presence of this person.
Fu Chen is very familiar with this unique temperament, which is the same as his daily state when he is outside.
This is the result of deliberately condensing the aura throughout the body after reaching a certain level of cultivation.
After entering the formation space, Fu Chen's cultivation was sealed, so he could not contain his aura.
This is also the reason why Fu Chen is obviously more charming and attractive here than in the outside world.
To achieve this, the entry requirement is the foundation period.
Fu Chen speculated that this person should be at a higher level than King Shang.
The later stage of foundation building or Dzogchen is definitely not the golden elixir stage.
While Fu Chen looked at King Shang curiously, King Shang was observing him carefully.
During the banquet, the eldest princess Wushuang saw Fu Chen rashly staring directly at the king and saluting.
He opened his mouth and explained: "Brother Wang makes atonement. Fu Meiren comes from a secluded place and knows nothing about Dayu's etiquette and rules. She did not intend to offend Brother Wang's majesty."
King Shang looked carefully, and Fu Chen's eyes were filled with pure curiosity and no ill intentions toward him.
After listening to Wushuang's explanation, he waved his hand without looking back and said with a generous smile: "It doesn't matter!"
Then, the Shang King looked pleasant and flattered Fu Chen on his business.
They were nothing more than words of admiration and praise for Fu Chen's appearance and how worthy he was of being called "Beauty Fu".
Later, he asked Fu Chen enthusiastically how the roasted fragrant fox was, and Fu Chen answered truthfully that it was done.
King Shang asked Fu Chen to return to his seat and began to ask the guards to bring up the roasted fragrant fox.
Sharing food with all the talented people, creating a harmonious picture of monarch and ministers having fun together.
Seeing that it is getting late, this exchange banquet for the academy disciples has also come to an end.
As usual, King Shang first encouraged the disciples in the academy to practice diligently, and then told Fu Chen to rest in peace and recover from his injuries.
Afterwards, he left Gaotai Campus directly and returned to the palace.
The geniuses at the banquet left one after another.
Anyone who is kind to Fu Chen will come up and exchange a few words with him.
Xuanyuan Chengfeng, in particular, solemnly invited her: "Fu Mei, when you recover from your injury, you must talk to Chengfeng over wine."
He didn't mention anything about Fu Chen's debt to him.
Ji Ziqian and Jiang Mingcong, who had previously deliberately targeted Fu Chen, went to the eldest princess Wushuang together.
He showed his unabashed attentiveness to Wushuang and exchanged greetings. The main meaning expressed was very simple.
I haven’t seen her for a few days, and my cultivation has become even more refined. I hope to make an appointment to discuss with her alone.
Among them, Jiang Mingcong owed Fu Chen something, and he treated him as if nothing had happened without even mentioning it.
After the two people briefly chatted with Wushuang, they left without even looking at Fu Chen.
Princess Chixiao had a straightforward personality. She came over and patted Fu Chen's shoulder affectionately and smiled.
"Fu Chen, after your injury recovers, I will take you to visit Xuandu City."
After finishing speaking, he glared at my little aunt Wushuang arrogantly, turned around and left without even saying hello.
Princess Wushuang did not feel dissatisfied, turned around and ordered the maid: "Qianyu, take good care of Fu Meiren and return to the palace."
Just like when he arrived, Fu Chen followed Qian Yu.
After leaving the school grounds, the two boarded the carriage and followed Wushuang's carriage out of the palace.
There was nothing to talk about on the way, after returning to Wushuang Palace smoothly.
Fu Chen returned to his room, thinking about what he would gain from entering the palace for the banquet.
The first is to have a clearer understanding of Dayu, Kyushu and the Nine Kingdoms.
Every state and country obviously has a Cultivation Academy, which serves as the highest institution of learning in the country.
In these schools, there are gathered the top talented disciples in their respective countries.
When these talented disciples reach a certain level of cultivation, they need to travel to other schools to study and exchange, which is also a training for themselves.
In addition, the biggest gain is to understand the strength situation in this space from the side.
At the banquet, the top geniuses from various schools represented the overall level of cultivation in this world.
The reason is simple.
The so-called genius is an exclusive title for a very small number of outstanding people in any field.
These people are all selected from one in ten thousand, or even one in one hundred thousand, in their field.
The reason why they are geniuses is because they already have the strength that other ordinary practitioners would pursue for half their lives or even their entire lives.
Therefore, genius is the yardstick by which a world's strength is organized.
The people of Dayu here generally have to go to school from the age of five or six. While learning writing and etiquette, they also begin to practice spiritual practice.
It is equivalent to compulsory education in the outside world, except that the main subject here is cultivation, and the results are to improve the strength.
By the age of twenty, that is, someone who has been practicing for about fifteen years and approaches the master level is considered a top genius.
Through them, we can completely see the overall strength level of the entire Dayu Jiuzhou.
Of course, Dayu's classification of master levels is different from the outside world.
In the outside world, those who have reached the heavenly level are called masters. However, Dayu is called a master only after he has reached the innate realm.
Although Fu Chen still doesn't know why the geniuses here practice so slowly.
You know, the concentration of spiritual energy here is a hundred times or a thousand times that of the outside world. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.
However, this does not affect Fu Chen's judgment on the entire Dayu cultivation situation.
In addition, after meeting King Shang and the middle-aged man next to him, Fu Chen also gained an understanding of the strength of the kings of various countries.
To sum it up simply, the number of Grandmasters is very small, and there are few opponents in the entire Yu Dynasty.
In the foundation building stage, it is even rarer. It is already the backbone of Dayu and belongs to the top combat power.
As for the ruler of Dayu with the highest status, Emperor Yu, he was at least in the Golden Core stage.
Fu Chen speculated from this that if he could restore his own cultivation level.
I dare not say that I am invincible in sweeping the space within the formation, but at least I am able to protect myself and I am safe.
***
On the other side, there is the front hall of the main hall of Wushuang Palace.
At this time, the Wushuang Princess had already changed into a full dress.
Wearing light clothes, Fu Chen returned to his appearance when he first saw him.
The maid Qianyu was describing the details of the banquet in detail.
He also particularly emphasized that Fu Chen ate the fragrant fox meat without hesitation.
Finally, he concluded: "His Royal Highness once said that the fox tribe does not eat its own kind, which is enough to prove that Fu Meiren is not an alien to the fox tribe."
Wushuang nodded in agreement: "Yes, I also witnessed it. Since I am sure that he is not an alien from the fox clan, there is no need to continue to monitor him.
You can take good care of him and let him go after the injury recovers."
Qingshuang, one of the four personal guards, came in and reported to Wushuang:
"Your Highness, the palace guards sent a three-headed pig. One was injured and two were killed. I would like to ask for instructions on how to deal with it?"
