After the eight Alchemy Venerates reached a consensus, they immediately went to invite Dean Li to come out of seclusion.
The grand Alchemy Venerate Academy, usually arrogant and domineering, thinking it's invincible. Only now did it suddenly realize it's not as powerful as imagined.
Deep in the academy, there is a plum forest. Strangely enough, the plum blossoms never wither throughout the year.
Such a wondrous sight can only be found at the Alchemy Venerate Academy.
This plum forest did not exist before; it was personally planted by Dean Li after he arrived. When the plum saplings were planted, everyone laughed at Dean Li for trying to be elegant and join the ranks of the four gentlemen as the Plum Scholar.
Dean Li merely smiled without replying, saying only, "This plum is not that plum."
In the days that followed, Dean Li watered the plum trees with medicine soup daily. Ten years went by like this, and the plum trees grew into a forest.
