Fang Yun sensed something was amiss. He put down his chopsticks and walked out, but the gatekeeper rushed out first to open the door.

Feng Yuanjun's attendant was overjoyed, saying, "Our master has sent a message to the Academy of Literature, and the people at the academy passed the news to our house. The master specifically asked me to come and thank you. He will be back tomorrow."

"Has Master Feng become a Hanlin Scholar?" Fang Yun knew that Feng Yuanjun was an Imperial Scholar, and the next step would be to become a Hanlin Scholar. The best way to become a Hanlin Scholar was to study at the Holy Academy. If one did not study at the Holy Academy, it would take at least thirty to forty years for an Imperial Scholar to become a Hanlin Scholar, and some people would never be able to become Hanlin Scholars in their lifetime.

The attendant said, "It's even better than becoming a Hanlin Scholar! The master sat by the River of Enlightenment for three days and three nights, and his Courage to Write broke through, officially reaching the first realm of being as resilient as plants and trees. Even a Hanlin Scholar might not be able to achieve this."
