Qin Tiexin took the name card and looked down at it. Senior deacon, Qin Tiexin originally thought she was very professional, but he didn't expect that this female cultivator's status in Imperial Dao Arts Workshop was not low.
"Thank you." He put the name card in his arms. If there is a chance in the future, he can really buy a few books of Cultivation Method martial arts by Body Refining. At least judging from her last recommendation, Imperial Dao Arts Workshop's martial arts are still good.
The two briefly exchanged greetings, then separated at the fork in the road outside the school grounds. Qin Tiexin walked in the direction of Purple Jade Ward, while Ling Shuyao turned and walked towards a carriage parked on the roadside.
The carriage has a low-key shape, the carriage is completely black, and there are no extra decorations, but anyone who knows the goods can tell the door at a glance.
The two horses pulling the cart are not ordinary horses, they are Blazing Flame Horse from the Foundation Establishment Realm. Their manes are light red. When the four hooves step on the ground, tiny sparks will burst out from the contact between the hoofs and the ground. They are docile, fast but very stable. They are commonly used by nobles to pull carts. The aura embedded in the harness is restrained and is the handiwork of a professional array master.
Ling Shuyao opened the curtain and got in. The carriage was covered with soft golden wool cushions, and there was a small ice jade box next to the seat. The lid of the box was half open, and there was a slight chill inside. Sitting on the seat was a beautiful middle-aged woman, who looked to be in her thirties., wearing a golden dress, her face is very similar to Ling Shuyao, her temperament is graceful and luxurious, and her eyebrows have the calmness of a person who has been in power for a long time. Her cultivation aura is as deep as the abyss, and she is clearly Golden Core Late Stage.
Seeing Ling Shuyao coming up, the beautiful woman handed over a cup of spiritual tea. Ling Shuyao took it and took a sip. After entering the tea, a cool breath rushed straight into the sea of consciousness. Most of the Divine Sense consumed in answering the question was recovered within a few breaths.
"Auntie, I can just go back by myself. Why did you come to pick me up?"
"Anyway, I'm fine. How did you do in the exam?"
"It must be ten points. There is no surprise."
The beautiful woman smiled and took Ling Shuyao's face and kissed her. "Yao'er is awesome. When you pass Star Selection this time, I will apply to the emperor to let you officially inherit Imperial Dao Arts Workshop. It's a pity that the emperor has not seen anything during this time. I don't know what he is busy with."
Ling Shuyao was a little helpless when she kissed him. Who would have thought that the woman in front of him who was no different from the ordinary elders was Myriad Stars Dynasty's princess, Golden Core Late Stage monk, Chen Yueling who was given the nickname [Moon Fairy], the younger sister of the current Holy Emperor.
Back then, as a concubine of the royal family, he practiced hard to the Golden Core Realm, and single-handedly created Myriad Stars Dynasty's most high-end martial arts Cultivation Method ge Imperial Dao Arts Workshop. The martial arts collected in the workshop Cultivation Method, from the Qi Refinement Realm's entry-level martial arts to the Nascent Soul Realm's high-level martial arts, the categories are so complete and the grades are so high that even Supreme Splendor Academy, which has the largest library, dare not say that it is stable.
Since discovering Ling Shuyao's special talent, Chen Yueling has trained her as his heir and taught her step by step for almost twenty years. He wants to retire one day early. Now Ling Shuyao's nominal position is senior deacon, but in fact he is almost the same as a store manager.
"Go quickly, go quickly." Chen Yueling patted the front wall of the carriage, and the two Blazing Flame Horse gave the order. They raised their hooves lightly and pulled the carriage smoothly toward the city gate.
"I already applied for you to avoid the first two levels, why do you insist on taking the exam?" Chen Yueling leaned on the gold cushion, picked up a spiritual fruit and took a bite.
"It's okay not to go to the second level. The first level is quite interesting. I also met a very interesting person."
"You mean that tall guy just now?" Chen Yueling glanced out through the car window. Qin Tiexin's back was walking along the official road. The dark gray monk's robe was pulled out of a long shadow in the setting sun. "Don't have any contact with these monks. There are no good people."
"Let's just make a good relationship. It may be useful later, or it may become a big customer." Ling Shuyao also looked out the window with a smile on his lips.
The carriage soon caught up with Qin Tiexin who was walking, passed him smoothly, and headed towards the east gate.
When Qin Tiexin returned to Lin Residence's small courtyard, Ming'an was sitting cross-legged on the stone bench, twisting the crooked string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and mumbling something. When he saw Qin Tiexin pushing the door in, his eyes lit up, he slid down from the stone bench and ran to him, raising his head and asking him how he did in the exam.
Qin Tiexin said it was not bad, Ming'an grinned and ran back to continue reciting his sutra.
Qin Tiexin sat down cross-legged on the futon in the courtyard and went through today's exam in his mind. The written exam was scored eight points, and the eight exam rooms combined ranked him around 200 places. This ranking is not good, but it is enough for him. He has only studied for less than a month, and he will definitely not be able to catch up with those candidates who have prepared for several years or even more than ten years. The written exam did not hold him back, and the next few levels are the battlefield for his performance.
He had already planned the next arrangements clearly on the road. After the written test, he had five days of rest, and then entered the second level - Mirror the Heart and Seek the Dao.
Temperament Trial There is no way to prepare. The test is a completely unprepared instinctive reaction. There is no point in improvising and may be counterproductive. Instead of wasting time wondering what Heart Devil will be dug up in the illusion, it is better to spend time on two practical things: consolidating new martial arts and preparing Foundation Establishment materials.
Foundation Establishment's matter cannot be delayed any longer.
The nine Primordial Qi Vortexs in Dantian have expanded to the limit. Each one is the size of an adult's fist. When the Dantian is slowly rotating, the walls of Dantian are swollen and tight. This feeling appears gradually. Fifteen days ago I just vaguely felt that Dantian was a little tight, but now it has turned into a constant feeling of swelling. This is a sign that Foundation Establishment is in a mature condition. The nine cyclones have reached the limit, and pressing down further will not increase much spiritual power, but may become unstable due to excessive compression.
He needs Foundation Establishment in an environment where Five Phases Spiritual Qi exists. It is best to find a natural five-element Spirit Vein node, but he inquired and found that all the Spirit Vein around Ten Thousand Stars City have been divided up by the royal family and Aristocratic Clan, which is unrealistic.
The next best thing is to use Five Elements Spirit Stone to arrange the Foundation Establishment array, which has the same effect, but you need to rent a safe practice stone room.
In fact, he had previously considered the further five-element Spirit Vein node. Before signing up for Star Selection, he had found a small Spirit Vein intersection about two hundred miles north of Ten Thousand Stars City, which could theoretically be used for Foundation Establishment.
But now the situation has changed. With the appearance of Ming'an, the person who said you Golden Summit Temple is probably already in Ten Thousand Stars City. Although I don't know where they are and whether they have been traced to me, it is unwise to venture out of the city to stay in the wilderness for a day or even a few days to achieve such a big thing as breaking through the realm.
It is much safer to rent a stone cultivation room in the city and spend some Spirit Stone.
He currently has plenty of Spirit Stone, so there is no need to expose himself to danger just to save this little money.
