Chapter 166 The young man lay dormant for ninety-nine, and one day he climbed the monument, was rated as the top one, and was called out in the palace!
Jiangyin Prefecture Courtyard.

There are two lines of words engraved on two huge stones several meters high in front of the door.

“The realm of a warrior is boundless and limitless.”

“How wide your heart is, how high it is!”

“————From “Xuanjun Wudian””

Riding on a green-horned spirit deer, holding a jade letter in his hand, Ji Xiu arrived in front of this towering mansion. The first thing that caught his eye was the words engraved on the two huge steles.

For a moment, he couldn’t help but jump off the deer’s back, stop and pause, letting the thousands of cars and horses pass by, still staring at it, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He was very familiar with these two lines of words when he was in Anning County.

When he was still working as a groom in the Lin family, in order to seek advancement in his career, Ji Xiu used all his belongings to exchange for a future from Duan Chenzhou.

I thought I could seek a chance to “enter the realm of strength”, become a strong warrior, and escape from slavery, and I would be satisfied. Who would have thought…
From that day on, his life took a completely different path.

“How wide your heart is, how high it is.”

“I am free from restraints, and my martial arts are limitless!”

“From Xuanjun Wudian, engraved in the Great Xuanfu Courtyard, it is a motto left for future generations.”

“I don’t know what realm the founding ancestor ‘Xuan Jun’ who left these words was at when the Great Xuan Zun was at his peak.”

“Just two sentences from it have made me determined to this day. If I can enter Xuanjing’s ‘Baiyujing’, if I have the chance, I must see the complete ‘secret book’ left by such a person.”

Ji Xiugang murmured softly as he looked at the two stone tablets. At the same time, he could not help but hear the conversations of passers-by:
“I heard that the competition for the ‘prefectural official’ position this time is very fierce. Our Jiangyin prefectural court has no advantage over the young talents of other prefectures.”

“Isn’t it? In other palaces, it is said that there are young masters who have entered the Qi Sea and have secured their seats in advance.”

“There are also ‘noble families’ who have inherited titles from their families. They are all direct descendants of officials in the state. How can ordinary people from ordinary trades and schools compete with such geniuses? They gave up their positions long ago.”

“Tell me, why do these young men who have status in the state have nothing to do but come to the government to take the examination for a ‘government official’? Isn’t that putting the cart before the horse?”

“You have no experience. What is Cangdu? It’s a provincial vassal state!”

“Although all the nobles of past generations are in the Great Xuan Capital, how many Great Xuan talents are there in one state?”

“There are many hidden talents inside. Who are the people competing to obtain the Great Mystical Merit? The heirs of the nobility and the sons of noble families!”

“Can ordinary people compete for opportunities in the state? Even if there are more resources for obtaining a high position in the state, you still have to compete.”

“It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Every year, there are two or three ‘young lords’ who can see the reality clearly. When the time comes for the government examination, they come to become ‘government students’ to win the qualification to pass the examination.”

“And this kind of person usually has a profound family heritage and a deep background. They have at least a 50% to 60% chance of getting a good ranking in the upcoming big exam.”

“So whether it’s the teaching officials or the head of the academy, they are all happy to see this.”

“For example, this time, I heard that a young duke with a county fiefdom came to compete.”

“Tsk tsk, those top five leaders of ‘archery, horsemanship, soldiers, martial arts, and gods’ in the ‘government’ are probably going to be removed again.”

However, just as Ji Xiu was listening quietly to the affairs of the government despite the noise.

In the sea of ​​gods, the Yuanshi Taoist talisman suddenly trembled slightly and emitted a radiant light.

At the same time, the words engraved on the two stone tablets, which were like bent gold and dots like falling stones, also began to connect with Ji Xiu’s soul, making him, who had achieved the “soul thought”, keenly aware of it.

“This is.”

He couldn’t help but be moved, as he felt that there were bits of starlight gathering towards him, but none of the passers-by noticed it.

Ji Xiu instinctively felt that the “essence” on these stone tablets was like the best spiritual energy and magical resources. As long as he swallowed it, his Taoism would increase.

“Could this be the gift from the academy to the new disciples?”

“What a big deal!”

Slightly surprised in his heart, and with the intention of not taking advantage of an opportunity, Ji Xiu immediately closed his eyes and spoke as if no one was around.

After practicing Qigong and fasting, every opening and closing of his pores could draw the “pure air from heaven and earth” into his body.

In the Beicang Marquis Mansion, he was tempered by the cold spring every day, improving his body and spirit. At the Liguan realm, he enjoyed treatment that many “Qigong masters” did not have, and he lived a very comfortable life.

But even so, the gifts on the two stone tablets in this mansion far exceed the results of breathing in the “blessed land” for one or two days.

According to Ji Xiu’s silent estimation in his mind.

Although it is not as effective as taking the earth treasure by oneself, it is much more miraculous.

However, the cultivation of the spirit and soul is inherently “illusory”. The great elixir and precious medicine that can enhance the cultivation of Taoism are rarely seen. Only the outer Dao Tianyu has various means to do so, which can be encountered but not sought after.

Now that we have the opportunity to make great progress, we must grab it and not let it go!
At this moment, Ji Xiu’s spiritual power burst out, and his immortal clothes moved without wind.

As soon as the Taoist precious robe that “not even a feather can touch it, and not even a mosquito can land on it” appeared, it dazzled the people coming and going in front of the gate of the mansion. They couldn’t help but cast their eyes on him at the same time, slightly shocked:
“Which big bank or school’s true teachings are these from!?”

“At such a young age, he has already put on immortal clothes. Hiss! How come I have never heard of it before?”

And this time.

Two luxurious carriages drove by one after another, with the logos of “Embroidered Clothes Shop” and “Jade Shop” embroidered on them, causing a commotion.

The onlookers saw this and could not help but envy:

“It’s the carriage of ‘Shangjiu Xing’. The children of Shangjiu Xing can be exempted from the entrance examination every time the academy recruits students. They can also have the opportunity to learn the secret martial arts and divine arts of the Daxuan academy. It’s really unfair.”

“The Nine Lines make a fortune every year, and the money donated to the government is piled up like a mountain. This is in exchange for an opportunity for their own children to study. If you have money, you can do the same.”

As whispers began to circulate, the curtains of the two carriages were opened almost simultaneously.

When the noble girl with a beautiful face bent down and stepped out of the carriage, those who knew her could not help but feel mixed emotions:
“Besides, even if they are not exempted from the test, these children of great schools are rich and powerful, and they take precious medicine every day, and their cultivation level is also extraordinary.”

“There are these two. One is the daughter of an embroidered clothing company. Her master is a master of the school. The teacher in the palace is Ye Luan. Although she is young, she has already touched the threshold of leather refining.”

“Given time, in three years, he will probably be the top five again, a top genius on the list.”

“That Miss Cai from the jade shop, although her cultivation is a little inferior, she has a good family background. She is the granddaughter of the old man in the jade shop!” “I heard that her father has become famous in the vassal state of Yizhou. If time passes, she will inherit the reputation of the jade shop. How can this be compared?”

Cai Ling’er and Ye Ningzhi got off the carriage, followed by maids and attendants. When they raised their eyes slightly and looked around, many people turned their eyes away and dared not gossip anymore.

When the two girls saw Ji Xiu standing still under the stone tablet.
At the same time, their eyes lit up and they walked quickly.

And seeing the two young ladies from wealthy families leaning behind the young man, so well-behaved, people around them were extremely envious for a moment.

They all thought at the same time: this person must be from one of the most powerful families in the mansion, otherwise how could she get to know the top daughters of these two big banks?
It was not until someone who had seen or heard of Ji Xiu in Daoguan Street and the fishing shop did his eyes narrow and he revealed the secret:

“Could this person be the grandson of Wang Xuanyang of the Heavenly Sword School, the Ji Xiu who came from the countryside and destroyed the backbone of the sixty-three gyms? “

“Yes, it must be him, otherwise the young ladies of the embroidery and jade shops, who were said to have had a hostile relationship in the past, would not appear to be so harmonious on the surface!”

Looking at the thin Taoist robe on his body, the strong energy all over his body was like a wolf smoke. Almost in an instant, there was complete silence in front and behind the stone tablet in the mansion.

If Ye Ningzhi, Cai Ling’er and other children of the big families can still be said to have noble births, then facing this young man whose life trajectory has long been known,
No matter who sees it, they will be impressed!

Dangdang Dangdang!
At this moment, the ancient bell in the mansion rang. At the same time, a man dressed as a teacher walked out of the stone steps and showed his face:
“Those who have obtained the ‘Prefectural Court Qualification’, except those who are exempted from the test, must first take the ‘Martial Monument’ test, then the ‘Divine Monument’ test, to measure their cultivation.”

“You must at least have mastered the physical training of bone forging, or the Taoist art of Qigong, to be eligible to participate in the five-level assessment of ‘bow, horse, soldier, martial arts, and god’!”

The solemn voice carrying the surging true energy spread throughout the mansion and silenced everyone who had been whispering.

A teacher in the government courtyard! Even in the Jiangyin government courtyard, they are extremely rare!
Because these people, without exception, have all achieved the title of “official in the government office”, so they are qualified for the job!

In other words, this teacher in the prefecture must have been among the top ten in the previous prefecture examinations and prefecture official trials, so he had the opportunity to stand here and participate in the assessment of ‘prefecture student selection’!
When the people who had obtained the “provincial examination qualification” and whose families had some prominent backgrounds heard the conditions he stated, their faces turned pale:
“Why are the requirements raised again? In previous years, people who had just entered the Bone Forging Stage could participate, but now they have to reach the Bone Forging Stage. In addition, there is a rule that people over the age of 25 cannot enter.”

“To achieve great success in bone forging before the age of 25, the direct descendants of the 36 trades can only do that, right?”

“The requirements are getting stricter every year. Just to qualify for the provincial examination, one has to go through a lot of screening. It’s like a thousand troops trying to pass a single-plank bridge.”

“But when you get to the gate, even if you don’t aspire to become a ‘government official’, you can’t even just want to enter the government academy for three years to study and practice the secret martial arts spirit, hoping to advance to the top one day!?”

For a moment, nearly half of the people were distraught and felt that they were blocked at the first level.

The other half of the people looked at the two huge monuments, took a step forward, and wanted to get closer, eager to give it a try.

The so-called “Martial Monument” and “God Monument”.

In front of the gate of this mansion, there are two several-meter-long divine steles with excerpts from the “Xuanjun Secret Book”!

According to legend, before entering a government office, the heads of every dynasty would take a ray of their own spiritual essence and inject it into the office. The longer the history of a government office, the deeper its charm and heritage would be.

Since Jiangyin was established as a prefecture and governed various counties, it has a history of nearly three hundred years and has had twenty-one heads of government.

So even though these two stone tablets seem ordinary.
But the power contained in it is so great that even a dragon and tiger master could come in person and still be unable to break it.

As long as these two stone tablets stand, acting as the ‘stone foundation’ to suppress the fate of the government, it is equivalent to using human luck to forcibly create an ‘artificial blessed land’!
It is no wonder that young talents from every prefecture and county are flocking to it, as if they are thinking “all the heroes in the world are within my grasp”!
However, those who thought they had met the requirements just wanted to approach the two “monuments” but were directly pushed back by an irresistible force!

For a moment, some people were stunned, and then they all looked at the boy who had been the subject of conversation and had kept his eyes closed. Their faces suddenly changed:
“etc.”

“Was he standing in front of the two stone tablets just now, without moving?”

He was comprehending the martial monument and the divine monument!
The official instructor who rang the ancient bell to select the students of the prefecture narrowed his eyes when he saw this scene and became a little restless.

At the same time, I couldn’t help but think of a “rumor”.

According to legend, the ‘Martial Monument’ and ‘Divine Monument’ used to select students in each prefecture have been infused by successive heads of the academy, and can not only measure the qualifications and cultivation abilities of a warrior or a Qigong practitioner.

Therein lies a huge gift!

As long as a true “young talent” appears in a prefecture, the martial gods will advance together and have the hope of reaching the top and condensing a treasure body.
The second stele will inspire and transform the accumulated charm of the successive heads of the academy into a gift and feed it back!
Could it be that! ?

The instructor’s eyebrows twitched as he pondered the situation secretly.

Immediately afterwards, two beams of mysterious light were seen rising into the sky from the martial arts and divine monuments on the left and right sides, and they lasted for several feet!
The huge noise spread throughout the entire mansion.

This made all the students who were in retreat or practicing in every training room or every A-level subject, including the teachers who were in charge of the academy, and even the old monsters and giants, raise their heads!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Then, the ancient giant bell, which was displayed in the bell tower of the government courtyard and was responsible for the morning and evening bells and had a history of more than 300 years, suddenly started to buzz.
Wow!
For a moment,

On the Martial Monument, in addition to the “maxims” condensed from the Xuanjun Secret Code, there are two lines of floating golden small characters, shining brightly.

[Martial Monument: Ji Xiu, born in the prefecture, with a bone age of seventeen, has broken through the two limits, is a pure Qi, wears a Taoist robe, has reached the limit of his physical body, and is expected to reach the peak of Qi sea, rating: A-level! ]

[Divine Monument: Ji Xiu, born in the mansion, has a bone age of seventeen, a spirit as vast as the sea, has already developed the idea to practice Taoism, as fierce as a candle, and has the opportunity to condense the ‘Taoism Seed’, Rating: A-A! ]

The huge noise caused the whole place to fall into silence.

The ultimate sea of qi, the seed of Taoism! ?

Anyone with a little knowledge would be indifferent when hearing these two words.

Because when these two are combined, there is only one concept represented.

That is————

There is hope to condense a ‘treasure body’!
[The Master of the Scriptures received the initiation of the ‘Martial Monument’, and received the thoughts and ideas of the 277st generation head of the academy, which turned into essence. The gift made the condensation level of the Immortal Clothes greatly increase, and the advance payment progress of the Colorful Clothes Scroll was +! ]

[The Master of the Scriptures received the initiation of the ‘Divine Tablet’, and received the divine thoughts of the 311st generation head of the academy, which turned into essence, greatly improving the ‘Divine Soul Thoughts’, and the Taoist ‘Divine Talisman Fire’ advance progress +! ]

[Feathered Immortal Clothes——Rainbow Skirt (377/1000)! 】

[Rule Fire: (488/800)! 】

A moment.

The two beams of turbulent light all reflected back upon Ji Xiu alone.

As his body was cleansed by the pure essence of thoughts, he could feel his ‘spiritual thoughts’ growing rapidly, and the divine fire rooted in it, with his body as the seed, was ignited.
Let’s make great progress together!
Even within the Divine Sea, a rudimentary form of the ‘Talisman Fire Seed’ has already condensed!
As for the neon volume.
It even made Ji Xiu’s flesh god, like a rainbow, like a scorching sun, rising up in layers!

The young man lies dormant for ninety-nine.

Once you climb the monument, you will be rated as the top one on the two monuments of the God of War, and your name will be called out in the palace!
