I have a Qiankun Ring

Zhao Xian and Uncle Ma walked out of the meeting hall with smiles on their faces, and saw Li Wen standing outside the door.

"Uncle Ma!" Li Wen bowed to Uncle Ma.

Uncle Ma smiled and nodded and said, "You are already an inner disciple, so don't be so polite when you see me in the future."

Li Wen smiled and nodded.

"Li Wen, you can also participate in this big exam and contribute a little of your own strength to the sect."

Li Wen shook his head: "I am dull in talent, so it is better not to delay the sect in this big exam."

Uncle Ma touched his beard and said: "A person who can advance from the initial stage of Qi Refining to the middle stage in ten years is not a dull person."

After that, he stepped forward and patted Li Wen on the shoulder and walked down the mountain.

Zhao Xian looked at Li Wen and asked solemnly: "Do you really not want to participate?"

Li Wen nodded: "I still want to practice peacefully. If I go and bring shame to the sect, I don't think my life will be easy after I come back."

Zhao Xian nodded and said: "That's true, but I think you should try it, just in case you gain something!"

"Brother Zhao, you should go back quickly. If you go back late and delay things, someone will definitely report you behind your back."

"You!" Zhao Xian shook his head helplessly, not knowing what to say.

At night, Li Wen sat in his room, reading the travel notes Zhao Xian gave him during the day.

The travel notes recorded the customs and customs of all parts of the Zhongzhou continent, and also gave Li Wen a more intuitive understanding of the world he was in now.

The Xinjing country where he was located was a Class D country in the entire Zhongzhou continent, and there were three more Class C, Class B and Class A countries above it. For example, there are twelve Class D countries in the entire Zhongzhou Continent, six Class C and Class B countries, and three Class A countries.

Each small-level country will be supervised by a large-level country. Every hundred years, the lower-level country must pay taxes to the upper-level country to protect its own safety.

The upper-level country of Xinjing is Kangyang, the upper-level country of Kangyang is Wushu, the upper-level country of Wushu is Xia, and Xia is one of the three Class A countries in the entire Zhongzhou Continent.

"It seems that Xinjing is the smallest-level country, equivalent to a vassal of a vassal." Li Wen murmured.

Then he looked at the jade slip in his hand.

Since the cultivation system is divided into eight levels, namely, Qi Refining, Concentrating Spirit, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Combination, Return to Void, Tribulation, and Daluo, each country has strict restrictions on its own high-level cultivators. For example, the highest level of cultivators that a D-level country like Xinjing can have is the Golden Core Stage. If a Golden Core Stage cultivator in Xinjing successfully advances to the Nascent Soul stage, he will be taken away by the upper-level country and then granted a position of worship by the upper-level country, and he will never be able to step into the original country again for life.

"In this way, the upper-level country can always control the cultivation power of the lower-level country, so that it cannot produce strength that can fight against it, and the worship every hundred years can be enjoyed forever."

Li Wen couldn't help but flash a strange color in his eyes when he saw this.

A C-level country can only have two Nascent Soul cultivators at most, and a B-level country can have four Nascent Souls. If there are more Nascent Soul cultivators among them, the Nascent Soul cultivators with high cultivation will be circulated upward in turn to ensure that the strength of the A-level country is far superior to that of the subordinate countries.

The back of the travelogue also recorded an event. The highest level of cultivators in the entire Zhongzhou Continent is the Fusion Stage. However, in the top country of Xinjing Country, that is, the Class A country Xia Country, a thousand years ago, there was a cultivator who successfully cultivated from the Fusion Stage to the Return to Void Stage. After this Fusion Stage cultivator passed through the heavenly tribulation and advanced to the Return to Void Stage, a crack appeared in the sky. After this cultivator passed through the crack, he disappeared from the Zhongzhou Continent. It is rumored that this crack leads to another world.

Li Wen couldn't help wondering when he saw this: "Is this immortal?"

The latter part of the travelogue mainly records some strange stories and scenic spots in various countries, and Li Wen just glanced at them and skipped them all. Now he wants to know where the predecessor who wrote this travelogue got this Star Art from.

With Li Wen's reading speed of ten lines at a glance, half an hour later, Li Wen's face showed a trace of joy.

"Xishan Secret Realm!" Li Wen's eyes lit up when he saw the place where the Star Art was discovered.

The travel notes said that when he traveled to the territory of Zhongguang Kingdom, he happened to encounter the opening of the Xishan Secret Realm. With a curious attitude, he entered it to see if he could gain anything. Later, he found the full version of the Star Art in the Xishan Secret Realm. The full version is divided into three volumes. At that time, due to the emergency situation, the author of the travel notes only had time to take the first volume out of the Xishan Secret Realm, and the remaining two volumes had to be left in the secret realm.

"Wanghai Tower!" Looking at the location of the Star Art in the Xishan Secret Realm, Li Wen was overjoyed. At the end of the travel notes, the materials needed to close the formation that sealed the Wanghai Tower were recorded.

Because the author of the travel notes was a master of formations, and he happened to have materials that could close the formations at the time, he opened it without spending any skills.

However, there were many traps in the Wanghai Tower, and the author, who was a Jindan at the time, almost couldn't get out of the building.

Li Wen was slightly startled when he saw this. He thought that even if he wanted to go to Xishan, he would have to cultivate to the Jindan stage at least before he could go there. The Star Art he had in his hand was just enough for him to cultivate to the late Jindan stage. In other words, he now had enough time to prepare the materials needed to open the Zhenhai Tower formation.

I need to go to the Sutra Library on the next day off to find a book about formations for myself to study.

Thinking of this, Li Wen's eyes flashed with a fierce look, but before that, the most important thing he needed to do was to avenge his master and senior brother.

Hou Sui was sitting at the table looking at the list in his hand, with Shen Lianggong standing beside him.

"Does Li Wen also want to take part in this exam?" Hou Sui asked, looking at Li Wen's name on the list.

Shen Lianggong nodded: "I also advised Li Wen to wait until the next exam to participate, but he was so determined that I had to add his name."

"If you think it's inappropriate, just cross him out of the list. After all, there are nearly 20 Qi Refining disciples who signed up this time, and you can definitely choose the right person from them."

Hou Sui was silent for a while, ready to cross out Li Wen's name with a pen, and then he seemed to remember something and said, "Since he wants to go, take him with you for this exam, and let him see the outside world and broaden his horizons."

After hearing Hou Sui's words, Shen Lianggong's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and then a barely noticeable sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Half an hour later, Hou Sui handed the finalized list to Shen Lianggong who was standing beside him and whispered, "Just follow this list and announce it tomorrow. In addition, take advantage of this time to inspect the people on the list. If there are any unsuitable ones, re-select them."

"Yes, Master!"
