I can sneak across the wild world

Chapter 1: People are in the Taoist Academy, preparing for the college entrance examination

"This section is a guidance class on how to fill in the volunteer application form. The students will fill in the simulated volunteer form in their hands and the teacher will explain it later."

At the beginning of the new semester, Luo Ziren clearly felt that the atmosphere in the class was becoming more and more tense.

In the past, the class teacher would pretend to be relaxed and tell a few jokes to start the class, but now he no longer pretends to be pretentious and goes straight to the topic when he comes in.

The students all seemed not to be surprised, as if they had completely adapted to the rhythm.

Am I the only one suffering from post-holiday syndrome?
Anxiety and guilt spread in Luo Ziren's heart, like a slowly growing octopus, blocking his chest.

"This damn senior year of high school life!"

Luo Ziren took a deep breath, picked up the pen, took off the cap, and filled in the information in the blank space of the simulated volunteer form.

[Name: Luo Ziren]

【Age: 18】

[School: Class 1, Grade [-], Lingzhou Second Intermediate Taoist College]

【灵根：金22、木25、水5、火23、土25】

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level [-]]

As he wrote this, Luo Ziren stopped writing.

His qualifications are too poor and there are not many Taoist academies he can pass, so he needs to think carefully.

"Hey, Brother Luo, where are you going to report?"

My deskmate Yu Dehua elbowed me and asked with a wink.

"I haven't thought about it, how about you?"

Luo Ziren thought to himself that Yu Dehua's cultivation level was the same as his own, so he could refer to his ideas.

"I want to attack Danyang Taoist Temple, but I can't waste my excellent talent of water and fire spiritual roots!"

Yu Dehua raised his head, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his tone was full of show off.

Danyang Taoist Temple is the most important Taoist temple in Lingzhou. It is famous for its Danyang Taoist temple and ranks among the top ten in Xia State.

"Stop talking nonsense! You idiot, where did you get your twin spiritual roots?"

Having been at the same table for two and a half years, Luo Ziren knew all about Yu Dehua's strange habit of wearing underwear backwards, and naturally also knew about his spiritual roots.

Yu Dehua has three spiritual roots of water, fire, and earth, which are a little stronger than his "four-attribute pseudo-spiritual roots", but not much.

In Lingzhou, having dual spiritual roots is considered a genius!

There are only two people in the class with such excellent qualifications.

One is monitor Ye Ningzi, and the other is school committee member Ou Haochen. Both of them have reached the advanced stage of Qi refining and are far ahead of other students.

Yu Dehua?
He is ugly, has poor grades, has mediocre qualifications, has the same cultivation level as himself, and is at the bottom of the key class.

Attack Danyang College?boast!
"Brother Luo, do you know that Taiyi Immortal Sect has a secret method called the Five Elements Spirit Tempering Method, which can improve your spiritual root qualifications?"

Yu Dehua leaned close to Luo Ziren's ear and asked in a low voice.

"???"

Luo Ziren's eyes widened.

The Five Elements Spirit Tempering Technique produced by Taiyi Xianmen, the first Taoist academy of the Immortal Alliance?

That is a magical secret that can only be purchased with tens of millions of spiritual stone coins!

The Nascent Soul Master personally took action, supplemented by high-level spiritual beast inner elixirs, to forcibly improve the spiritual root qualifications, which can be called a method that defies heaven and changes destiny!

Is Yu Dehua able to get it?

impossible?

Luo Ziren recalled Yu Dehua's daily performance in the past two years. Except for being a little more generous when he went to the Xianling Internet Cafe, he was just an ordinary little dude and had nothing to do with the wealthy?
"Have you learned the Five Elements Spirit Tempering Technique?"

Luo Ziren spoke carefully, his tone a little more cautious.

Wealth can lead to the gods. If Yu Dehua's family really has such financial resources, it means that this deskmate with ordinary appearance and wretched temperament is definitely the top second generation ancestor in Lingzhou!

Don't call him casual nicknames from now on, after all, the chicken has turned into a phoenix.

"No."

Yu Dehua smiled and shook his head, "But my family helped me get a Five Elements Adjusting Yuan Pill, and now I really have both water and fire spiritual roots."

After saying that, Yu Dehua put the filled-in form in his hand and waved it in front of Luo Ziren.

Luo Ziren glanced at it and his pupils could not help but shrink!

The spiritual root information filled in on the form is:

【金18、木8、水30、火25、土19】

According to the regulations of the Tao Alliance, if the spiritual root index of a single attribute exceeds 20, it is considered to have the spiritual root of that system.

Luo Ziren remembered that Yu Dehua's original earth spiritual root was 20 and water spiritual root was 29. Now the earth spiritual root index has decreased by 1 and the water spiritual root index has increased by 1 point, just entering the threshold of dual spiritual roots!

It should be the credit of the Five Elements Tune Yuan Dan!
"How much has your cultivation speed increased?"

Luo Ziren couldn't help but ask.

"Twenty percent! The amount of spiritual energy that can be absorbed has also increased!"

Yu Dehua was very satisfied with the performance of his deskmate!
Transforming three spiritual roots into two spiritual roots is a qualitative leap. It would be a waste not to show off in front of your friends.

Dog thief!

Luo Ziren was very envious.

Yu Dehua's cultivation speed used to be much faster than him, but now the gap is even bigger!

Now, no matter how lazy Yu Dehua is, his cultivation will surpass him.

Maybe there is a chance to attack Danyang Taoist Temple?
The Five Elements Tune Yuan Dan is really a good thing!

Luo Ziren wanted to get some to eat, but he didn't have the family conditions.

"Will it cost several thousand spirit stone coins?"

Luo Ziren did not doubt that Yu Dehua filled in the information randomly to show off. The head teacher, Huang, had a bad temper, so it would be easy for him to resort to a set of military-style punches to commit suicide.

"More than that, it cost thirty-five thousand!"

Yu Dehua's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression was intoxicated, but it soon turned into a bitter smile:
"In order to improve my qualifications, I almost emptied my house!"

"If I don't get into a good monastery, my grandfather will beat me to death!"

This world is dominated by the Taoist Alliance.

Dao Meng makes basic Qigong exercises public.

Anyone with spiritual roots can practice it.

But if you want more advanced exercises that suit you, you can only study in a Taoist academy.

For example, Yu Dehua, who obviously has a grandfather who is in the foundation-building stage, also has to take the entrance examination for higher education.

Luo Ziren sighed:
"My family can't even afford 35 spirit stone coins, so I don't even have a chance to spend them all!"

As early as 300 years ago, the Dao League began to control physical spiritual stones and issue credit spiritual stone coins.

It was originally stipulated that the value of each spirit stone coin was equal to one kilogram of gold.

Over the years, credit spirit stone coins have depreciated seriously, and one spirit stone coin can only be exchanged for about [-] grams of gold.

Luo Ziren comes from an ordinary family. His parents are both casual cultivators in the late stage of Qi refining and work in a tool-making factory. After a year, they can't save a few spirit stone coins.

"It would be great if I also had a foundation-building true cultivator!"

As soon as this thought came out, Luo Ziren wanted to slap himself.

I’m all daydreaming, the pattern is still so small!

There is nothing great about being a true cultivator of foundation building. At most, he can be the dean of an intermediate Taoist academy.

Jindan Zhenren, Nascent Soul Zhenjun, and the Ancestor of Transformation God are truly powerful!

However, it was of no use. His grandfather had passed away long ago.

"Brother Luo, why don't you also report to the local Taoist temple in Lingzhou, and I will protect you from now on!"

Yu Dehua put his arm around him and said with a playful smile.

"Yu Dehua, can you please be quiet? It's affecting other students' thinking!"

Before Luo Ziren could speak, a girl at the front table glanced back at Yu Dehua, frowning slightly.

Yu Dehua looked embarrassed, but did not say a word.

The reason is very simple, this girl is monitor Ye Ningzi.

Ye Ningzi has crisp, ear-length hair, an oval face with fair skin, and a pair of big eyes like clear lake water, reflecting the stars.

Compared with Yu Dehua's miscellaneous spiritual roots obtained by taking drugs, Ye Ningzi has extremely pure gold and fire spiritual roots. The spiritual root index of both systems is close to 50. She has reached the eighth level of Qi refining and is expected to hit the Qi refining stage before the college entrance examination. Perfection is a true genius!
Moreover, her family background is mysterious, and Yu Dehua dare not provoke her at all.

At this time, Ye Ningzi turned her eyes to Luo Ziren and said calmly:
"When there is no obvious gap in the teaching level of Taoist colleges, the quality of spiritual veins is the most important."

"Zhongjing is built on the only fifth-level spiritual vein in Xia Kingdom. Taoist schools of the same level will definitely give priority to those from Beijing."

After saying that, Ye Ningzi turned around as if nothing had happened.Luo Ziren was slightly startled. Why did she suddenly give advice?
In his memory, Ye Ningzi had almost never chatted with him except occasionally asking him for advice on difficult problems in the instrument-making department.

"She's taken a fancy to you!"

Yu Dehua's voice suddenly buzzed in Luo Ziren's mind.

This is the spiritual power application technique that Yu Dehua specially cultivated in order to escape from work - spiritual power transmission.

What the hell?

Luo Ziren turned to look at Yu Dehua and found that this guy was smiling lewdly.

"Do you doubt my judgment?"

Yu Dehua sneered and continued to transmit: "I have seen countless women, and I can tell what this girl is thinking at a glance."

"She will definitely be admitted to one of the five major academies, and the five major academies are all in Zhongjing."

"If you don't go to Zhongjing, she will be completely out of luck!"

baffling!

Luo Ziren felt that Yu Dehua was somewhat ill and made such nonsense.

Apart from my above-average theoretical scores and decent looks, what else can I offer?
There are almost no ugly men in the world of national cultivation...well, except De Hua.

If there is anything special about me, it should be that I am lucky.

I grew up in a harmonious family and never encountered any major setbacks. I passed the high school entrance examination and was admitted to this key Taoist college in the state. I was lucky enough to get into a key class in the second grade of high school.

But can good luck also increase charm?
Luo Ziren was too lazy to waste words with Yu Dehua, so he slapped the guy's dirty hands away and began to study the simulated volunteer form.

[The first batch of volunteers (please choose at most one institution among Taiyi Immortal Academy, Kaifeng Military Academy, Xiuxian Academy, Xianling Academy, and War God Academy)]

The first batch of colleges are the Five Great Colleges directly under the Dao League.

Students who can enter the Fifth Avenue Academy can basically build a foundation within 30 years, and then attack the Golden Elixir and Nascent Soul.

A Taoist temple of this level has nothing to do with Luo Ziren.

Luo Ziren casually filled in Taiyi Immortal Academy.

It doesn’t matter if it’s useful or not, it can’t be left blank anyway!
Maybe you just got lucky?
Next-

[Second batch of applications (please choose up to three colleges among the thirty key Taoist colleges directly under the Xia Kingdom to fill in the form)]

[The third batch of applications (please choose up to three institutions among the fifty state key Taoist institutions to fill in)]

Luo Ziren continued to repeat the above operations.

It wasn't until the fourth batch of "Taoist Colleges for Cultivation and Hundred Arts" that Luo Ziren cheered up and selected three Zhongjing Taoist colleges that he felt had a chance of admission.

As for the fifth batch?
There is no fifth batch.

Higher Taoist colleges only require elites, unlike the technical schools that trained workers in the old mechanical era, and accepted all kinds of cattle and horses.

Among the 3000 million people born in Xia Kingdom every year, excluding the small half of mortals without spiritual roots, the number of lucky ones who can eventually enter a high-level Taoist academy to continue their studies does not exceed 50.

Not even being able to pass the fourth batch of Taoist Academy exams basically meant that there was no hope of building a foundation.

In this cruel world where cultivation determines social status, failing the college entrance examination means that you can only work in a factory or deliver food.

However, ordinary people still have a choice.

That is to join the Pioneer Army and participate in the Dao Alliance's exploration of ancient secret realms, cave heaven paradise and other small worlds.

If you're lucky, you might be able to earn a chance to build a foundation.

Many officers in the Pioneering Army rose to power in this way.

Luo Ziren's grandfather was once a member of the Pioneer Army.

It's just that he was unlucky. Not only did he fail to build a foundation, he was also seriously injured on the battlefield.

A dignified monk in the late stage of Qi refining died young before he was seventy.

That was ten years ago.

In recent years, the Xia Kingdom has been relatively peaceful as a whole, and the Dao Alliance has not made any big moves.

Joining the military seems like a good option?

Luo Ziren once thought that if he couldn't get into the Taoist Academy, he would go to deliver food!
There was no way, as an only son, he definitely couldn't just go to the battlefield without leaving a wife.

As for working in a factory?

It is impossible to work part-time, and it is impossible to work part-time in this life.

"Speaking of which, my grandpa also left a box for me and said he couldn't open it until I turned 18. I wonder what's inside?"

Luo Ziren came of age before school started, but his grandfather left early and forgot about it.

Just now he was stimulated by Grandpa Yu Dehua's generosity, and then he suddenly remembered.

"It's almost time, please hand in the volunteer forms you filled out!"

Following the order from class teacher Huang Quan, the class was instantly in chaos.

Soon after, Huang Quan had a large pile of simulated volunteer forms in front of him. He pulled out two from them, glanced at them, and smiled on his face:

"The first choice of the two top students in our class is Taiyi Immortal Academy!"

"Very good, you are ambitious! I hope your dreams will come true!"

In Huang Quan's hand were the application forms of two late-stage Qi-refining students in his class.

To him, a top student who can get into the Fifth Avenue Academy is more valuable than a hundred ordinary students.

It’s okay not to look at other people’s volunteer lists.

Huang Quan's move was a bit hateful, and all the students in the class looked at Ye Ningzi and Ou Haochen with complicated expressions.

Ye Ningzi's face was calm, she lowered her head slightly, biting the penholder with her silver teeth, not knowing what she was thinking.

Ou Haochen, who was usually known for his aloofness, now looked around proudly, like a big rooster that had defeated its competitors and won the right to mate.

Luo Ziren was in a calm mood. It wasn't just a day or two that the teacher favored talented students, he had long been numb.

Next, Huang Quan began to teach the skills of filling in the application form:
"Students who can pass the second batch of scores, please pay attention. Choosing a major is very important. If you are good at Fu Dao, don't apply to Dan Dao colleges, otherwise you will have a high chance of being dropped out!"

"Taoist temples in Zhongjing are very popular. Don't just look at the scores in previous years and rush in. You have to protect yourself."

After half an hour—

"Jingle Bell"

The bell rings.

"get out of class off!"

Huang Quan turned around and left without any hesitation.

Luo Ziren also wanted to hear how to apply for the fourth batch of Taoist temples, but Huang Quan didn't mention it at all.

"Brother Luo, the next two sessions are training classes, do you want to make an appointment?"

Yu Dehua came over with a smile.

"Get out of here, I want to stay in the classroom and study!"

Luo Ziren shook his head and refused.

"Drop it! Studying is so boring! Why don't you go get some spiritual energy and feel great!"

Yu Dehua cursed and left.

I don't know since when, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which was originally very abundant in nature, has become so scarce that it is difficult to maintain cultivation.

In order to ensure the progress of students' cultivation, the Taoist Academy specially arranged cultivation classes.

The teaching location is an indoor gymnasium equipped with spirit gathering arrays.

With the blessing of the spirit gathering array, the concentration of spiritual energy in the student's training room can reach the level of first-order high-grade spiritual veins.

For students with average family conditions, two hours of practice classes every day is the hope of counterattack!
But Luo Ziren was not blessed to enjoy such benefits.

With his pseudo-spiritual qualification, as long as he relies on the thin spiritual energy of nature to practice for three hours, the spiritual energy in his body will reach the upper limit!
There is absolutely no need to take additional training classes.

Might as well sell the opportunity to take classes and make a little money.

This is what Luo Ziren thinks and does.

The training class is very attractive.

Not long after class ended, all the students in the class left.

Luo Ziren didn't move, he was waiting for the "customer".

At this time, a cute girl wearing a moon-white Taoist uniform with double ponytails appeared in the corridor outside the class and took a look inside.

After seeing Luo Ziren, a smile appeared on the girl's face.

She put her hands behind her back and walked into the classroom with light steps. When she came to Luo Ziren, she leaned forward slightly and spoke softly:
"Are you Senior Luo Ziren? I was introduced by Senior Lan Qingquan."
