Lonely Immortal

When Zhang Zhiwen heard these words, he couldn't help but be speechless. What was going on? Why didn't he want to participate? His direct relatives want to suppress Chen Huanzhi, so why should they drag other people in if they suppress him?

Zhang Zhiwen really doesn't want to be involved. This kind of thing has nothing to do with him. Besides, he stays in the outer hall and doesn't cause trouble or make trouble. Isn't that okay? Still insisting on him participating?

"Hey, it sounds strange, how could someone not want to take the provincial examination?"

"Yeah, it's really strange that we take it seriously. We were eager to have such an opportunity, but he actually gave up!"

"Do you think there's anything fishy going on here?"

…

The minds of these people are extremely complicated. They actually thought that Zhang Zhiwen might have some tricks up his sleeve so he didn't take part in the provincial examination. They are really just trying to judge a gentleman's heart. He, Zhang Zhiwen, just wants to live quietly in the outside hall. , can't it? Do you have to have some shady reason not to take the provincial examination?

But as the saying goes, people's words are terrible. What these people say comes and goes. After word spreads, I'm afraid it is really possible to cause some trouble. After all, Zhang Zhiwen is a reincarnated Taoist monk. If he gets into trouble, It is not impossible to attract the attention of the county government and even lead to death.

Zhang Zhiwen really didn't expect this. As the saying goes, a wise man will always make mistakes, and he will inevitably make mistakes sometimes. Moreover, he feels that although these people like to gossip and talk nonsense, he can't help it. If you are not careful, this matter may happen as unpredictable as they said. Zhang Zhiwen can't afford to gamble. He has finally managed to live a carefree life. He doesn't want to be found out as suspicion again. object.

It seems that I really have to go to the provincial examination. Forget it, if that's the case, then just take part. At most, you can just deal with it casually. Zhang Zhiwen doesn't have any ambitions anyway.

In this way, Zhang Zhiwen went to take the provincial examination.

More than a hundred Xiantian Taoist monks came, and Chen Huanting also came. She saw her brother Chen Huanzhi, but the two seemed not to speak, and they even looked like strangers. This surprised everyone. Logically speaking, , Chen Huanting and Chen Huanzhi are brothers and sisters. Although they are half-brothers and sisters, they can definitely be regarded as biological brothers and sisters.

Could it be that Chen Huanting also looks down on Chen Huanzhi? But Chen Huanting does not seem to be such a person, and it is even less likely to participate in the struggle between the direct line and collateral lines. Then there may be only one situation, and that is that Chen Huanzhi is actually not that good. Otherwise, Chen Huanting is generally not good at all. It is very possible to ignore Chen Huanzhi.

When Chen Huanting saw that everyone was here, she announced the content of today's provincial examination. In fact, many other monks came outside to see how the provincial examination was going.

"The first thing to be tested is the elixir content. The elixir assessment is divided into two parts. I have told you before, and I will say it again. The first is to cultivate the seeds. The second is to improve the elixir plants. Both have assessment scores, and ultimately the ranking is determined by the overall score.”

"This is the content of the assessment. Secondly, I want to emphasize one point here. After the township examination, the top ten monks can take the county examination. Of course, the county government has a reward, which is to give everyone a recipe for the Soul Pill. The main thing is It will be used for everyone to take part in the county examination to assess their alchemy skills. Of course, if you become an official, you will naturally get more resources, including the recipe for the Earth Soul Pill, etc..."

Chen Huanting said very calmly, but the monks present all exclaimed. It was obvious that this reward was indeed extremely practical and generous.

Zhang Zhiwen was also quite surprised by this. He didn't expect that the rural and county examinations would directly give prescriptions for pills. I guess there are some other prescriptions, right? In addition, there must be many other rewards, such as Taoist secrets, such as Xuanmen secrets...

It seems that this assessment is not useless. The rewards are basically matching, which is equivalent to promotion and title. You get some palace servants and salary. Sure enough, being an official is still very beneficial, even for a small person. Being a small nine-star official immortal has a lot of benefits. No wonder a lot of people want to work as errands in the immortal dynasty. The treatment is so good.

Zhang Zhiwen worked hard for a long time to get the recipe for the Soul Pill, but here, he can get it easily. As long as he successfully takes the provincial examination, he can get it.

In fact, after successfully participating in the township examination, you can become a township member. The township member is actually the county government deacon, and you must keep up with the supporting benefits, such as elixirs, Taoist tools, elixirs, prescriptions, Taoist secrets, and Taoist techniques. Cheats, etc., and even a yearly subsidy of Dao Soul Stones.

Suddenly, Zhang Zhiwen felt that he was still a bit of a country boy. He thought that he could easily get by in the outer hall. In fact, after he was admitted to the township committee, he could even get by more easily. Only then did Zhang Zhiwen understand why Chen The direct line insists on recruiting everyone to take the exam. If someone does not participate, the exam cannot be counted. There is a lot of money in this.

"Of course, each stage has corresponding assessment requirements. Similarly, each stage also has corresponding rewards, which does not keep you busy. Even if you fail the provincial examination, you will still be rewarded, and you can also become a deacon in the county, and you can become a deacon. It’s enough, no need to worry!”

Chen Huanting said.

After her words came out, everyone was relieved, and the monks watching the fun on the periphery were even more envious, jealous, and hateful. They wished they could advance to the innate Taoist soul now, and wished they could obtain the meritorious title now. In this case, it would definitely be They received excellent treatment, unlike now when they work so hard in the outer hall, it is likely to be in vain in the end.

Then everyone should improve their Dao Soul. This is also an incentive policy, and it is also why people are allowed to be observed during the provincial examination. The Immortal Dynasty also has deep intentions. As long as everyone works hard, there will be a chance!

Anyway, this chicken blood is full, but I have to say that this reward is really good. If Zhang Zhiwen becomes a village member, he can still get a lot of benefits. At least he will get a stable salary every year, and there will also be Taoist secrets. Ability to obtain innate Taoist techniques.

"Okay, that's basically it. Are there any other questions?"

After Chen Huanting finished speaking, she glanced around and asked.

Everyone had no problem, but suddenly a voice came out.

"I have a problem!"

Chen Huanzhi came out to speak. As soon as he appeared, everyone's eyes fell on him. Obviously, this concubine of the Chen family was very eye-catching. After all, he had a special status and was an ancient Taoist monk. He was naturally very special. Ordinary.

"What's your problem?"

Chen Huanting frowned slightly, but her tone was as if she was talking to a "stranger" and she didn't give Chen Huanzhi any look.

Chen Huanzhi also disagreed. He smiled faintly and said: "I question whether you are qualified to be the examiner. You know, I am an ancient Taoist monk, but you are just an innate Taoist monk. How can you come to examine me?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. Everyone looked at the two siblings, Chen Huanting and Chen Huanzhi. They didn't know what Chen Huanting would say to refute Chen Huanzhi next, but it was not difficult to see from everyone's expressions that everyone seemed to be thinking more. I am leaning towards Chen Huanzhi, I think what Chen Huanzhi said makes sense.

Yes, Chen Huanzhi is the ancient Taoist soul, and she, Chen Huanting, is the innate Taoist soul. The gap between the two is not small. With such a big gap, why can Chen Huanting be the examiner? This will make many people unconvinced.

But Chen Huanting seemed to have expected that Chen Huanzhi would say this. She looked calm. She glanced at Chen Huanzhi, and then said: "Your Taoist spirit is indeed better than mine. This is an undeniable fact, but the arrangement for this examination is that the county What the government arranged is not my wish, this is one of them.”

"Secondly, the county government also emphasized that this township examination mainly tests the most basic elixirs and mineral refining. Generally speaking, I am competent enough. If you think I may have made a mistake in my judgment, you can contact the county Please submit your request to the government and ask the county government to send more manpower to carry out this assessment!”

"Third, this assessment is over and the fittest will survive. If you win first place, then you are qualified to challenge me. If you beat me, then you can become the team leader. Then you can take everyone to the government office to take the county exam! "

"You can question any of the above three points, and you can make your requests to the county government. I accept them all!"

…

Chen Huanting finished the matter in one breath, and everyone was quiet. It was obvious that although Chen Huanting was not as good as Chen Huanzhi in Taoism, her speaking attitude and ability to do things were still very strong. She was neither arrogant nor humble, and she did not use her status to suppress Chen Huanzhi. She truthfully told the story All told, it sounds reasonable.

Because no one knew that a person like Chen Huanzhi would appear in the Dao Soul Test and reach the ancient Dao Soul realm. In that case, it would be impossible to send additional manpower from the beginning, let alone let the deputy county chief preside over this task. assessment.

Chen Huanting also said that this assessment was a basic assessment and it would be too fussy to have the deputy county chief preside over it. Chen Huanting also said that if Chen Huanzhi felt it was unfair, he could report the situation to the county government.

In this way, what she said was extremely reasonable and flawless. Chen Huanzhi had nothing to say, but he still smiled lightly and said: "Sister Ting'er said something serious. Since it was the county government's intention, I naturally have nothing to say, but Ting'er Sister, please be more careful. I have always been strict. When I go back to lead the team, I hope you will cooperate well, otherwise I will not be merciful!"

What Chen Huanzhi said didn't seem to have much of an opinion. In fact, it was a complete threat, and he even directly suppressed others. Sure enough, dragon slayers will eventually become evil dragons. This is the kind of person Chen Huanzhi is. He He has not yet reached the position, he is not yet an official, and now he is about to raise his banner to suppress others.

Everyone was stunned. They had no idea that Chen Huanzhi was such a person, but Zhang Zhiwen was not surprised at all. He had seen too many people like this. Once he succeeded, he would forget about it and even be more exaggerated than ordinary people. , they have been at the bottom for a long time , has been bullied for a long time, unlike Zhang Zhiwen, who is originally at the bottom and has nothing. Even if he has achieved some achievements, he is still walking on thin ice. But Chen Huanzhi is different. He is the son of the county boss, and his mentality is completely different.

Now, when he said these words, it was a statement that he wanted to be in power. Naturally, Chen Huanting didn't have much to say. She just looked at Chen Huanzhi deeply. She had obviously expected it, and there was nothing surprising about it. No wonder Chen Huanting has never regarded Chen Huanzhi as one of her own family members from the beginning until now. This Chen Huanzhi is simply ambitious.

If Chen Huanzhi gets promoted, the first people he will deal with must be his brothers and sisters, because he has been excluded for too long and his mentality is distorted. He doesn't care about other things. He just wants to deal with all those who suppress and bully him.

This is actually understandable, but such people often hurt innocent people. For example, now, he has not yet taken office, but he has begun to intimidate others. You must know that these innate Dao soul cultivators will all be working in the county government in the future. Everyone is working for the Immortal Dynasty. Now Chen Huanzhi is going to use this method to deal with his colleagues. What will happen in the future?

However, Zhang Zhiwen doesn't care. At most, he won't participate in it. Chen Huanzhi can suppress it if he wants to. At most, he can go back to the outer hall to live a lazy life. Staying away from the court may be a good thing.

In this way, the provincial examination began in this atmosphere.

The first level, the spiritual medicine assessment

Each person was assigned a room for the spiritual medicine test. When everyone entered the room, they saw a spiritual medicine seed on the table and a small pot of spiritual soil. This was to let everyone cultivate the seed and let it germinate. As long as it germinated, the test would be over.

It was very simple to germinate. Zhang Zhiwen took the seed and put it into the spiritual soil, then watered it or performed a spiritual rain spell to nourish it.

But in fact, the situation was not like this. After the seed was put into the spiritual soil, it had no reaction. This surprised Zhang Zhiwen. Logically speaking, this seed should not have a reaction after being buried in the soil and watered.

But after a whole day, there was no reaction at all. Zhang Zhiwen was also a little curious, so he took out the seed. He found out the reason why the seed did not germinate. This seed was not a good seed at all, a low-quality seed. How could it germinate? It looked like it was about to rot.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhiwen felt that he might fail the spiritual medicine test. He didn't care about failure, but among the more than 100 cultivators who came to take the test today, there were also Zhao Mingyin and others. They saw Zhang Zhiwen. Although they didn't come over to talk, they were obviously very surprised.

This matter is a bit interesting. That is, Zhao Mingyin and others were very surprised when they saw Zhang Zhiwen, but they didn't come over. They winked and signaled Zhang Zhiwen to work hard, hoping that everyone could pass the test smoothly.

However, Zhang Zhiwen still didn't care. Until he came in for the test, Zhao Mingyin finally found a chance to come and say a few words to Zhang Zhiwen.

"Zhiwen, you must take the test well. We all have to pass the provincial examination and become township members. Otherwise, I received news that if you fail, you will be sent to the countryside to work. I don't want to go, and you'd better not go!"
