Lonely Immortal

When the rural examination came, various transactions of buying and selling magic soul grass immediately appeared in the county government. Zhang Zhiwen had nothing to do, so he went to the county government hall for a few rounds. He found that no one dared to take any of these transactions blatantly. When they come out to trade, they are all sneaky and private transactions.

"Junior brother, does anyone need Magic Soul Grass?"

Zhang Zhiwen was strolling around when a monk came over and asked in a low voice.

Zhang Zhiwen is a little surprised. Is there anyone here who doesn't know Zhang Zhiwen? Someone actually dared to sell the Dharma Soul Grass to him?

However, Zhang Zhiwen was also curious. He couldn't help pretending to be surprised and asked: "Senior brother, do you have the magic soul grass?"

"Hey, that's natural. Come on, let's talk inside. There are a lot of people talking outside." The monk took Zhang Zhiwen and went to a side alley.

This county government office is still very big, and it’s not just the Su family. There are many captains of the inner hall. But according to Zhang Zhiwen’s idea, everyone else will know about his affairs in the Su family. But it doesn’t seem to be the case now. Such a situation.

He originally thought that the Su Mansion would monopolize the sales of Soul Grass, but in fact it seemed a bit unlikely. The monk who pulled Zhang Zhiwen into the alley was obviously not a monk from the Su Mansion. When he looked at Zhang Zhiwen, he He said mysteriously: "Junior brother, I see you have been wandering here for a long time, but you haven't found a buyer?"

Zhang Zhiwen naturally pretended not to understand anything. He nodded quickly and said, "That's right. Senior brother, do you have the Magic Soul Grass?"

"Hey, that's nature. Come, take a look, what is this?" The monk took out a Dharma Soul Grass from his storage bag and handed it to Zhang Zhiwen.

This is a high-grade magic soul grass, and its root system is extremely well preserved. Obviously, you can just take this thing back to plant after buying it. It is cheating anyway.

"It's actually a top-grade magic soul grass. That's great." Zhang Zhiwen pretended to be very happy, so the monk was naturally more certain that Zhang Zhiwen was the disciple who came to purchase magic soul grass. He couldn't help but said with some pride: "Hey, junior brother You have a good vision, how about it? Junior brother, are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, satisfied!" Zhang Zhiwen nodded repeatedly, pretending to be in great need of the magic soul grass.

Seeing Zhang Zhiwen like this, the monk naturally continued: "Hey, since junior brother is very satisfied, then, because we are destined, I will give you this high-grade magic soul grass at this price!"

The monk suddenly stretched out a finger, which meant that a Dharma Soul Grass would cost the price of a thousand low-grade spiritual crystals. This price was really extremely expensive.

Zhang Zhiwen was also a little surprised, but when he thought about it, the low-grade magic soul grass was sold for the price of ten low-grade spiritual crystals. How about a hundred low-grade spiritual crystals for the middle grade? A high-grade soul can’t have a thousand low-grade spiritual crystals? The price seems reasonable.

Seeing that Zhang Zhiwen remained silent, the monk added, "If junior brother needs a large amount, then I can give you a discount of up to 20% off for a thousand Dharma Soul Grasses. How about that?"

"A thousand?" Zhang Zhiwen was also quite shocked. Who needs so many magic soul grasses? But the monk said disapprovingly: "Yes, a thousand plants is not too much. If a spiritual field is planted densely and densely, there will be tens of thousands of plants at least. Only then will there be a chance to win the No. 1 brigade of the county government office." There is a quota, and they must all be high-grade magic soul grass!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiwen realized how fierce the competition was, but he couldn't help but ask: "Won't the first team suspect that this is cheating?"

"Yes, it must be fake at first glance, so if you enter the first brigade, the team leader, Ms. Chen, will personally assess you. Those who fail the test will definitely not be able to enter the first brigade!"

The monk said with a disapproving look.

But Zhang Zhiwen was even more surprised. If this was the case, wouldn't it be a waste of so much money to purchase the Soul Grass?

But when the monk saw Zhang Zhiwen looking a little confused, he explained: "Junior brother, you are just a newcomer, right? You don't know, right? Even if you can't get into the first brigade, you still took part in Miss Chen's assessment. Anyone who has the opportunity to be assessed by Ms. Chen will have the opportunity to enter the first team, right? Then let’s give it a try. Anyway, everyone is cheating, and no one may be able to win! "

After saying this, Zhang Zhiwen finally understood that it was possible to play like this. First, he used money to compete viciously and eliminated all the monks who had some ability. Then the rest were monks who cheated. Anyway, everyone It's cheating, no one needs to laugh at anyone. When it comes to Miss Chen, even if she is eliminated, she still gets a chance.

If you are more lucky, you can successfully pass the assessment and officially become an inner disciple of the first team. Then you can participate in bigger competitions and have more opportunities. In fact, these monks who spend a lot of money to cheat are essentially them. They are not worried about not being able to become an Immortal at all. What they want is to obtain a higher level of Immortal Order.

Following Ms. Chen would definitely be the best thing. It would definitely be different if there was someone to lead you and no one to lead you. But these things have no attraction to Zhang Zhiwen at all. He just needs to become an official. It doesn't matter to him. To become an official immortal of a few stars, nine stars are just nine stars. Anyway, as long as you can get the recipe for the Soul Pill.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen couldn't help but said to the monk: "Senior brother is right, but I can still think about it."

"Okay, you can think about it, but don't blame me when the goods are out of stock." Seeing that Zhang Zhiwen still needed to think about it, the monk suddenly became impatient, and he didn't want to talk to Zhang Zhiwen anymore, so he Off to look for someone else.

But just when everyone was busy purchasing magic soul grass, suddenly there was movement in the distance, and then many people were seen exclaiming.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Chen?"

"What are you doing here, Senior Sister?"

"Hey, don't let senior sister see it, we will trade later!"

…

A group of people did not expect that Chen Huanting suddenly appeared, which caused a large number of people to deal with each other in private. At this time, if Chen Huanting saw them cheating, they would be directly disqualified from the provincial examination.

And Chen Huanting appeared in the inner hall with someone, her expression was stern, she glanced around, everyone lowered their heads guiltily, and did not dare to look at her, but her eyes soon fell on Zhang Zhiwen, that Zhang Zhiwen He hasn't cheated yet, so he is naturally not afraid of the other person's eyes.

This surprised Chen Huanting, but she quickly looked away, and then she strode into the inner hall, followed by several disciples.

This Chen Huanting is wearing a Taoist robe, which looks like a Taoist nun, but it is still difficult to hide her peerless appearance. However, the Taoist robe she wears is also the Chen clan Taoist robe. It seems that the children of the Chen clan all wear this kind of cyan Taoist robe, and the Chen clan master He is wearing a white Taoist robe, but it is slightly different here.

After Chen Huanting led people into the inner hall, many people seemed to be kicked out, and then the captains came here. It seemed that Chen Huanting summoned the captains to come over for discussion, and I don't know what they discussed.

The inner hall was crowded with people, and everyone was extremely curious. At this juncture, what was the purpose of Chen Huanting suddenly summoning the captains to discuss matters? But no one dared to make any noise. They could only poke their heads outside curiously and look inside.

Zhang Zhiwen was also a little curious, and there were more and more disciples here in the inner hall. They all seemed to know that Chen Huanting was going to discuss something, and everyone came over curiously to see what was going to happen.

Of course, many people also come here to purchase some magic soul grass. Zhang Zhiwen is actually quite curious about where this high-grade magic soul grass comes from. Is it grown by some people? It seems that there are still some planting experts in the inner hall.

Anyway, the water here is naturally very deep. For example, the deacon of Su Mansion invited some planting master to come over and teach. Could this so-called planting master be involved? And what is the origin of this so-called planting master?

Zhang Zhiwen didn't know anything about these things. Anyway, almost all the disciples who were going to take the provincial examination this time gathered in the inner hall. Therefore, the place was crowded and extremely lively.

However, not long after Chen Huanting went in, they came out again, and this time, they came out with all the captains and even the inner hall elders.

Seeing them come out, everyone became quiet. Chen Huanting walked out, glanced at everyone, and said: "There have been a lot of cheating in the provincial examinations over the years. Today, I saw you all gathered here to do this again." Do you think I am blind if you are so fair and honest?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. No one expected that Chen Huanting would directly name the cheating.

"So, in order to prevent this kind of incident from happening again, I have discussed it with the elders, and also informed each team leader that this rural examination will adopt a new assessment method!"

Although Chen Huanting knew that everyone was cheating, she didn't seem to be very angry. Instead, she said something like this, which made all the monks present explode.

The captains standing behind her all seemed a little listless, and the inner hall elders seemed a little helpless. It was obvious that Chen Huanting had directly uprooted their interests from the root and did not give them the opportunity to make money. .

This matter seems to be an attempt by Chen's county government to change the corrupt practices, but Zhang Zhiwen knows very well that this is just because the landlord's family has no surplus food. Otherwise, it is necessary to do this, which is tantamount to taking food from the mouths of various captains and elders. .

So why? Zhang Zhiwen was very curious about what Chen Huanting would say next.

In this way, he continued to stand here and listen to what new assessment methods she would talk about. The other monks seemed to have a similar mentality, and they were all curious to know what the new assessment methods Chen Huanting was talking about were.

"Before talking about the new assessment method, I need to clarify. First of all, the disciples in our inner hall are all successors to the Immortal Li, which is of great importance and involves the foundation of the Immortal Dynasty. Secondly, we originally entrusted each captain to take responsibility. In talent selection, I am responsible for the last-minute screening, but I find that the situation is getting worse year by year, and the selected disciples are less good than each other. How can I be worthy of such a big responsibility? "

When Chen Huanting said these words, no one said anything. These words were somewhat high-sounding, but there was nothing wrong with them.

But for a long time, no one believed that the Immortal Dynasty would change anything, and no one expected anything.

And Chen Huanting didn't seem to care what everyone thought. She continued: "Therefore, I received news from the Immortal Dynasty. Starting from this provincial examination, the system of officials and immortals began to change. This was a decision made by several major ministries of the Immortal Dynasty. , that is to say, the previous methods of promotion to Lixian will be completely changed starting from this session!"

When this was said, everyone was shocked.

Obviously, the Lixian system that had lasted for thousands of years was going to change. This was naturally a very shocking thing.

You have to know that the Xian Dynasty is so huge that it is extremely difficult to change a system. But now the Xian Dynasty has made changes. There must be some major events that have forced the Xian Dynasty to make major changes.

But what major event happened in this, naturally no one knows, everyone is a low-level cultivator, even the captain of the Su Mansion, he probably doesn’t know much.

"First, the selection of official immortals will be changed from the captain's commissioned promotion to the direct management of the county government, that is, I will be responsible for it!"

"Secondly, the original promotion system will be abolished, the quota will be reduced, the provincial examination will be changed to a preliminary selection, leaving only ten quotas, and then the county examination will be held, led by me. After the county examination selection, the top ten will become official immortals and be awarded the Nine-Star Official Immortal Order!"

"Finally, the Nine-Star Official Immortals will be directly managed by the clan leader and will be responsible for the main affairs of the inner hall. The original Nine-Star Official Immortals will also participate in the selection, which will be in my charge. The elder system will be abolished in the inner hall, and the elders will be managed by the clan and will not participate in the affairs of the county government. The county government will also abolish the guard system, and the guard will be managed by the clan and will not participate in the management of the affairs of the county government!"

Chen Huanting spoke out the big changes of the Immortal Dynasty in one breath, and everyone was stunned, because this big change was too drastic, directly separating the clan and the county government. This is the Immortal Dynasty's plan to take back power!

That must be something big that happened to the Immortal Dynasty, otherwise it would be impossible for such a major change to occur all of a sudden. In the past, the clan was the main force, and the county government was the auxiliary force. The clan controlled the county government, but now it is the other way around. The clan is still in the county government, but the clan belongs to the clan and cannot interfere in the affairs of the county government. The affairs of the county government are directly under the jurisdiction of the official immortals and clerk immortals.

This undoubtedly makes the power of the official immortals and clerk immortals greater. At the same time, the abolition of all the previous nine-star clerk immortals is equivalent to the abolition of the clerk immortal status of all the captains in the inner hall!

No wonder these so-called captains are more ugly than each other, and the elders are obviously not in a good mood. This is the Immortal Dynasty's intention to directly control the county government, the prefectural government, and the state government, and crack down on the local power of the clan. This is definitely a good thing for the bottom cultivators.

Therefore, although everyone was shocked, they were extremely happy in their hearts. This change will undoubtedly make the selection more fair. The immortal selection must be fairer, but the clerk selection is extremely unspoken.

Nowadays, the Immortal Dynasty has made drastic changes and directly reformed to completely abolish the power of the clan in the county government!

But in this case, won't the clan rebel?

But can the clan rebel? Do they dare to rebel?

It seems that the clan can't make much waves, because the clan leader is the county magistrate of the county government, and he is an official fairy, who is firmly controlled by the fairy dynasty.
