Chapter 481
In Yuhua City, the annual Xiandao Imperial Examination begins again.
The elegant young man, under the pseudonym Mo Xuan, begins the Imperial Examination.
This Xiandao Imperial Examination is all-encompassing.
The Four Books and Five Classics, arithmetic, five elements magic, etc. are required, and the last one is the policy essay, commonly known as the big essay.
For three consecutive days, many students have been writing non-stop, drowning in the ocean of knowledge.
Whether immortal or mortal, they all give full play to their talents in the examination room.
This is exactly the characteristic of Yuhua City, the Xiandao Imperial Examination.
Regardless of their background or strength, they can participate in the Imperial Examination and become officials of Yuhua City.
If they are mortals, they can also obtain a full set of immortal cultivation resources such as entry-level skills and foundation-building pills.
Three days later, one hundred best policy essays were presented to the Lord of Yuhua City, Bai Yu.
Bai Yu looked at a pile of jade slips on the table and stretched leisurely.
In the past thirty years, Xiao Ri has lived a very comfortable life.
Without external enemies and life-and-death crises, the Immortal City has expanded steadily, and the combination of magic tools has brought in a huge sum of money every year.
Do you think you are happy if you have money?
No, you can't imagine the happiness of rich people.
Today, Yuhua Immortal City has changed a lot, and the Immortal City panel has become:
[Name: Yuhua Immortal City! ]
[City Lord: Bai Yu! ]
[Level: Intermediate Immortal City! ]
[Sub-cities: Beidou City, Panshi City, Muyu City, Yuanfu City, Baidu City and other 57 cities. ]
[Buildings: Main City +1, Lingshi Mine +61, Lingtian +6.72 million acres, Refining Factory +21, etc. ]
[Defense Force: Nine Earth Lihuo Array, Lihuo Pool +81, Star-Extinguishing Crossbow +12, Huofu Dao Soldiers +80,000, Baidu Dao Soldiers +20,000. ]
[Immortal Citizens: 2.01 million; Loose Cultivators: 920,000; Mortals: 160 million. ]
[Morale: 332 (Medium)]
It can be said that the current Yuhua Immortal City is comparable to a medium-sized immortal cultivation power, at least the level of Songming Country.
As his subordinates increase, Bai Yu's funeral business is in full swing.
His cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul (94%).
However, as his cultivation increases, the rewards for funerals of mortals and low-level cultivators are getting less and less.
Only some of the dead with special professions or special experiences can give different rewards.
Moreover, because there are many auspicious tombs on the new island, Bai Yu's Feng Shui cultivation has also broken through one after another.
[Successfully upgraded to a third-level funeral master, and the Feng Shui Eye was upgraded to the True Dragon Eye. ]
[True Dragon Eye, lower-grade Earth Demon Magical Power, looking for dragons and looking for qi, breaking illusions and seeking truth. ]
...
[Successfully broke through to an astronomical master. ]
[Comprehension of the upper-grade Earth Demon Magical Power, praying for rain. 】
…
Now his Feng Shui cultivation has reached the first-level astronomical master (2%).
Bai Yu shook his head and drove these distracting thoughts out of his mind.
He began to review the jade slips on the table.
"I wonder what surprises this time's policy will have?"
The first policy: "On the method of opening the soul of the spell master".
This is an article about the cultivation methods of various tribes of the barbarians.
The indigenous barbarians of the Xingluo Islands also have a unique way of cultivation, called spell masters.
The cultivation method of spell masters is completely different from that of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and martial arts.
For example, the first step of the spell master's cultivation, called opening the soul, is very different.
In order to open the soul of the fish herders, they need to find the spirit of the spirit fish with reverse scales, so that they can open their souls and become apprentices of spell masters.
The so-called reverse scale is that the fish is seriously injured, and the scales grow back after the wound heals, which is called reverse scale.
Each reverse scale is a life-and-death catastrophe for fish, called a catastrophe.
The spirit fish that survived the great catastrophe of life and death was believed by the barbarians to have mysterious powers and could open the way to becoming a curse master.
With each additional reverse scale, the power of the spirit fish became stronger.
The herding fish tribe passed on the word of mouth that nine catastrophes would make a dragon.
The water lady of the herding fish tribe used a five-tribulation spirit fish to open her spirit.
This was only the herding fish tribe. There were other barbarians. Some needed to practice in the cemetery and sleep with corpses for forty-nine days.
Some needed to drill a hole in the top of their skulls to communicate with the gods.
After all the opening ceremonies, only those who survived could become curse masters.
Bai Yu was thoughtful.
He also understood the cultivation path of this curse master.
Cursers were not like immortals who refined qi, nor like warriors who refined their bodies. They were more like refining their souls directly.
Only when the soul became strong enough, they began to use the power of the soul to guide the spiritual energy and yin energy to form various strange spells.
Don't underestimate this kind of spell. There was once a fairy city lord who was cursed to death by a barbarian curse master.
It is said that before the death of the immortal city lord, his face was distorted and extremely terrified, as if he had seen something terrible and was frightened to death.
And that immortal city was also conquered by the barbarians, becoming the second immortal city to be destroyed.
Bai Yu pondered for a moment and rated this policy paper as A-level, which means excellent.
He casually flipped through other essays.
"Several Advances in Fireball Technique", "Zonghengshuo", "My City Lord Father"...
Bai Yu scored and finalized each one, and finally handed it over to the chief examiner, who ranked them in combination with the scores of other subjects.
But no matter what, those who entered the final round would no longer fail, and the main goal was to accept all who should be accepted.
This was a bloody lesson. Who knows if the candidates who were kicked out would take the exam again after failing the exam, or again.
A few days later, the top 100 candidates in the imperial examination were successfully announced.
According to convention, Bai Yu personally met the winners.
The champion this time was named Mo Xuan, a handsome man with excellent demeanor.
Bai Yu smiled faintly:
"The champion is indeed a man of heaven, come here, give him some wine and a seat."
"I wonder what skill the champion is practicing? What benefit can it bring to my Yuhua City?"
The champion was not at all nervous when he saw Bai Yu, and replied calmly:
"My lord, I am practicing the art of diplomacy."
"Diplomacy is diplomacy and alliance, which is to win over allies and alienate enemies."
Bai Yu was delighted to see the prey.
The Xingluo Islands today are just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, which is the time to use the art of diplomacy.
He nodded repeatedly and asked:
"I wonder if the top scholar's strategy has ever been put into practice?"
Mo Xuan said confidently:
"Strategy is about instigating and calculating. My practice is mainly to calculate my parents at home."
"I have successfully instigated my mother to beat my father and calculated my brother's private money many times."
Bai Yu was drinking tea with a cup in his hand and almost spit out a mouthful of water.
Good guy, this top scholar must have a serious illness.
It's not easy for his family to hold on until now.
Suddenly, Bai Yu glanced and saw that there was a colorful luck on Mo Xuan's head, and it was like a pagoda, with a tendency to take shape.
In other words, this guy's luck is even stronger than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.
This guy is not simple.
Bai Yu immediately made a decision and granted him a fifth-rank official and asked him to go to the Ministry of Rites to engage in diplomacy.
Next, he met and checked the other candidates one by one.
Unfortunately, none of these candidates had the ability to become colorful.
The best one was the dark purple one, a young man from the Muyu tribe named Han Mu.
Bai Yu encouraged them and started the feast with everyone.
However, just when the banquet was in full swing, Lan Yu Niang came hurriedly and whispered:
"My husband, it's bad. One of our transport fleets was intercepted and killed."
