Chapter 71 - Entering the Light Tower

Late night, the Dome of the Heavens.

Feng Qingyun and Su Dongqing argued for the better part of the day, wanting to let Su Dongqing return to his usual condition regarding the Humble Class student recruitment. But Su Dongqing rejected it. In the end, Feng Qingyun could do nothing, sighed, and left.

Regarding the arrival of this day, Feng Qingyun had long anticipated it.

But he didn't expect it to come so quickly, so suddenly.

When he left the great hall, Feng Qingyun seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

A moment later, Gu Rongbai walked in with a book in hand and reported, ”Reporting to the Principal, I have a rough plan of what you asked me to do. This time, there were three hundred new admissions slots. Among them, there were 170 disciples of the Su Clan and 80 disciples of the Gu Clan. There were 30 people from the Gong Family and 18 youths from the Vault Mountain. A total of two hundred and ninety-eight people. There are two more places left, for Su City's Eighteen Prefectures, the Humble Class. ”

Of the three hundred students enrolled, the Su Clan accounted for more than half.

This was unthinkable in the past.

Vault Academy had become the Su and Gu family's private property. Even the number of people in the palace had been pushed to thirty.

Su Dongqing was very satisfied with this result. ”En, very good. What do you think about the last two spots? ”

Gu Rongbai said: ”I have listed the previous registrations of geniuses from the eighteen counties of Su City. This time, the Xiao family of Longyang County produced several geniuses at the Profound realm. Among them, there was a person called Zhang Wei who had broken through to the 4th level of the Profound realm. According to common sense, Zhang Wei should get a placing! ”

Su Dongqing asked: ”Longyang County Xiao Family? Isn't that Xiao Yu's family? This way, he wouldn't be able to give Zhang Wei a spot. Which families are better at fawning on us? ”

Gu Rongbai said: ”The Li Family from Ma Shan County, and the He Family from Ping Feng County. In the past, they always gave great gifts to the Su Family and greatly curried favor with them. ”

Su Dongqing said: ”Then let's give these two spots to Li Jia and He Jia.”

Gu Rongbai was very happy: ”Alright, I'll go inform these two families right now.”

Su Dongqing said: ”In the future, both inside and outside the Su City, all the powerful families must submit to me, Su Dongqing. Anyone who disobeys will not be allowed to live! ”

Gu Rongbai replied: ”Yes!”

As he gave the order, the entire Su City was suddenly in a state of turmoil as great changes occurred.

Shaoqing, a haggard old man covered in red scales slowly walked into the hall.

Gu Beishan.

An old man in his nineties.

In terms of seniority, he was even Su Dongqing's elder.

Su Dongqing cupped his fists after seeing him: ”Senior Gu Beishan, what wind blew you here?! ”Quick, please take a seat!”

Su Dongqing actually took the initiative to give up the seat of the chief to Gu Beishan. Gu Beishan didn't sit down, but stood in the middle of the hall, and looked at Su Dongqing coldly. ”Dongqing, you sure have great ability.

Gu Beishan's words were neither cold nor hot.

Back then, he wanted to sit in this position as well, but he was suppressed by Gong Tianyu's absolute strength and cultivation. He then entered a state of closed door cultivation.

Su Dongqing slightly said: ”This is all because of this junior's good luck. If Senior came out of seclusion earlier, this place would have belonged to you.”

Gu Beishan waved his hand: ”I'm not interested in this position at my age. If we say it now, the only thing we can say is that Gu Ronghong is disappointing the unfilial son. ”

Su Dongqing heaved a sigh of relief. If this old fellow was also concerned about this position, then it would be troublesome. Twenty years ago, the old guy's cultivation already reached the cultivation of the 9th level of the Earth realm. Right now, he was in seclusion for twenty years. No one knew how terrifying his cultivation reached.

Su Dongqing said: Senior, why have you come here?

Gu Beishan said: ”I can let you continue to sit on this seat. Our Gu family has passed down our alchemy techniques for generations, and is an indispensable family in the Vault Academy. Our Gu family can support you to stay in your seat, I only have one condition. ”

Su Dongqing was slightly shocked. He knew what Gu Beishan said was true.

The Gu family was the only alchemist family in Su City, and warriors needed a large amount of pills to cultivate. No matter how powerful a warrior was, they would need pills. Even if Gu Ronghong died, as long as the Gu family's alchemy skills were still there, they would never fall.

Su Dongqing respectfully said: ”Senior, please speak frankly!”

Gu Beishan said: ”Right now, I am at a critical point in my closed door cultivation, so I cannot easily interrupt them. I want you to wrench off Xiao Yu's head and give it to me for me to drink! ”

Su Dongqing said: ”Alright, I will definitely wring his head off and gift it to senior! It's just that the things that Senior has promised me, I hope that Senior will not forget about it! ”

Gu Beishan said: ”Don't worry, I'm already this old. I don't like to play with the fake. One month later, the day I come out of seclusion, I want to see Xiao Yu's head at my feet! ”Also, I want the entire Xiao family to be buried with me!”

With that, Gu Beishan turned and left.

The corner of Su Dongqing's mouth flashed with a cold smile. Using Xiao Yu's head in exchange for the Gu family's support, this transaction was too worthwhile.

The Vault Mountain was so tall that it pierced the clouds.

The mountain peak was the location of the Grand Heaven Academy.

However, there was a ladder at the end of the mountain. The ladder was made up of countless vines and rocks, and it kept going straight up to the height of the clouds.
