C44 Attendance (1/2)
There were many inns in Tianyuan City, and March was Ouyang College's recruitment month, which was also the month where the inns had the best business.
Su Ziyan asked around, finding an empty room and an inn to stay at with great difficulty.
The name was quite domineering, and the furnishings in the inn were quite ordinary. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a single room available at this moment in time.
”A high-grade room costs thirty spirit stones a night, a mid-grade room costs twenty spirit stones a night, and a low-grade room cost ten spirit stones a night. Miss, which room do you want to stay in?”
The waiter's eyes were like torches as he continued, ”Miss, I can see that you are the examinee who came to participate in the Ouyang College exam. ”I suggest that you stay in a superior room. The superior room is filled with spiritual energy, making it useful for your cultivation.”
”So expensive.” Su Ziyan felt that she wouldn't be able to accept even ten spirit stones in one night, let alone thirty spirit stones. Tianyuan City Inn was much more expensive than the other cities.
When the waiter saw that it was difficult to earn much from Su Ziyan, he did not waste his breath on marketing, ”Then let's just live in a lower class room. Although there is less spiritual energy, it is very quiet and can be used for exams. ”Thank goodness you came early. If you came too late, you wouldn't even be able to stay in the lower rooms.”
”Sure, give me a lower class room.”
The waiter took the spirit stones and brought Su Ziyan to the guest room. All the furnishings of the lower class rooms were present, but the amount of immortal qi contained within them was less than that of the upper class rooms.
Su Ziyan did not care about these small details and comfortably took a hot bath, washing off all the fatigue she had accumulated over the past few days.
Having been rejected at the General's Estate today, Su Ziyan still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. After showering, she directly laid on her bed, and didn't even have the thought of cultivating in a tragic state.
”Little girl Zi Yan, do you really want to take the three exams?”
Liu Shang had never seen Su Ziyan reading any books on literature or the ways of governance before, yet he dared to say that he was going to take the examination?
”That's right, I have already made up my mind that I will definitely pass the Ouyang College examination. I will have to spread the net widely, and one day, I will be able to fish up a fish.” Su Ziyan lied on the soft bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
”But you don't know literature or how to rule a country. Aren't you just going to embarrass yourself?” Liu Shang couldn't figure out where she got the courage to walk into the examination hall.
”Uncle, you don't know about this. This is my secret.” Su Ziyan said mysteriously.
”Have you ever heard of being able to understand without a teacher? There's no need to learn at all. I'll understand when I get down here.”
Liu Shang naturally did not believe what these three year olds did not believe, and inwardly thought that this girl was not relying on him, was she? Although I am a scholar, I did not agree to help you. When the time comes, even if you beg me in the examination hall, I will not agree.
Su Ziyan laid on her bed, thinking of Liu Shang's thoughts. She had always been brooding over why Nie Xingyun did not come out to meet her, was it really because of their different identities?
Hua Moqing was like this, Nie Xingyun was still the same. Although his status was low, he was not being toyed with by these people.
Su Ziyan secretly made up her mind that she must pass the National College of Ouyang examination. For this reason, she did not hesitate to copy the thoughts and poems of the ancient people, and wanted to pass the examination as well.
Before this, Su Ziyan had a good understanding of the Tian Yuan Continent's culture. Because the Tian Yuan Continent respected martial arts, people with spiritual roots would all go cultivate, and those with spiritual roots would choose to walk the path of warriors.
After a long period of time, the rulers of the country discovered their shortcomings and the country became more and more difficult to manage. Only then did they slowly begin to develop other literature and the ways of governing the country.
These subjects were slowly developed after a hundred years, and only after entering the Ouyang College, the people who came to take the examination were relatively few.
On the first day of Ouyang College, she was taking the Immortal Cultivation examination. Cultivators from all corners of Tian Yuan Continent were gathered here. There were at least tens of thousands of people outside the gates of Ouyang College.
All the examinees were between Qi Disciple level 4 and level 9.
Most of these cultivators were Rogue Immortals. Without the support of abundant resources, it was difficult for them to reach higher levels. He had just come to the Ouyang College to take the exam and was willing to sell himself to the country.
Su Ziyan was also among this group of people. Looking at the black mass of people, Su Ziyan suddenly remembered the scene when she was taking the college entrance examination.
The black door slowly opened, and a white-bearded old man walked out, followed by two young men.
The young man was carrying a huge disk. There were strange engravings on the disk, and these engravings were coiling around the center of the disk.
The white bearded old man cleared his throat and said, ”Ouyang College will start from today for five days. The first day of the examination was on the Immortal Cultivation, so everyone please take a look at this disk. This is no ordinary plate, it's called the Immortal Fixation Plate, and it can measure the immortal energy in a cultivator's body. ”
”Today's first exam will be for everyone to walk in front of the Immortal Fixation Plate and place your right hand in it. Anyone who can make it shine will be able to enter the National College of Ouyang for the next exam.”
Immediately, a thirty-something year old examinee walked up to the Immortal Fixation Plate and nervously placed his right hand on it. He had been taking the exam for ten years. Every year, it was impossible to pass the Immortal Fixation Plate test.
As expected, the Immortal Fixation Plate still did not glow, so the exam candidate heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that he really was not made of the materials to cultivate immortality. He shook his head and left.
A few other examinees came forward to take a look, but the Immortal Fixation Plate was still as steady as a boulder and did not emit a single bit of light.
Su Ziyan looked nervously at Liu Shang, ”Uncle, do you think I can pass the exam?
Liu Shang comforted her, ”Don't worry, even though your talent is not good. However, in the past few years, I have been diligently training the perversion every night.
