Chapter 146 White Tiger Empire
The Four Gods Continent is a continent jointly controlled by the four Great Emperor nations Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
The four Great Emperor countries carve up the entire continent, and the emperor represents the supreme ruler of the cultivation world, jointly in charge of the cultivation world and the mortal world.
The hierarchy here is strict, and mortals will never even think about stepping into the officialdom in their lifetime. The first element of being an official in the court is that they must be monks to be eligible.
The Empire of the Four Gods has ruled this continent for tens of thousands of years. During this period, the cultivators have changed several generations in order to compete for the throne. However, the name of the empire has never changed when they finally sit on the emperor's Immortal Cultivation Family.
The so-called battle for the imperial throne is the battle for the Xiuxian family. Once they are on the throne, they will be directly promoted to the royal immortal family.
"Am I coming out?"
Li Changsheng stood on a vast expanse of land with a stunned expression.
The clarity of the soil, the chirping of birds in the distance, the hustle and bustle of people in the distance, people coming and going, and the busy traffic on the road are so real and lively.
Closing his eyes, Li Changsheng shielded his five senses and entered the world of heavy senses. Numerous ripples swayed around him, and Li Changsheng quickly built a new world of heavy senses.
There is no illusion, no magic circle, no bells and whistles. Sure enough, this is the real continent.
He teleported back.
Opening his eyes, Li Changsheng felt the surrounding spiritual energy slowly entering his body, and his mood gradually eased.
Even though he is already a top-level powerhouse in the Foundation Building Stage, because of his incomparably poor talent, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy is still so labor-intensive.
If the spiritual energy in the body is consumed, it may take a day to absorb and recover through meditation.
In other words, although he is a peak monk of the Foundation Building Stage, once the aura in his body is exhausted, he has to wait for a day to continue to meditate in order to recover.
If you use Lingshi, it will be faster.
Other highly talented Foundation Building Stage monks, whose spiritual energy is exhausted, will recover quickly through meditation, half a day, two hours, or one hour.
This is also the most obvious gap between talent level.
A spirit sword flew out from the flip of his hand, Li Changsheng jumped up and flew towards the town ahead.
After a while, Li Changsheng arrived at the gate of the city. In order to keep a low profile, he walked all the way to the ground.
On the tower, the three ancient characters of Fengling City stand out.
"stop."
"Pay taxes."
"You are a monk, right? You have to pay the poll tax and enter the city for 100 spirit stones."
As soon as he reached the door, several Qi Refining Stage soldiers blocked his way, and Li Changsheng looked bewildered.
Do you have to pay poll tax when you enter the city?
Li Changsheng was silent for a while, and immediately handed over 100 spirit stones without any entanglement.
He didn't do anything, the 100 spirit stones were gone, and the soldier didn't give any proof, just waved his hand and let him go.
Entering the city, Li Changsheng saw people coming and going in an endless stream, shops lined up everywhere, and it was very lively.
After some inquiries, Li Changsheng found out that this is the White Tiger Empire, not the Azure Dragon Empire or the Vermilion Bird Empire.
But it doesn't matter too much. He is an Independent Cultivator now. When he first arrived in Treasure Land, he naturally had to do as the Romans did. It would not be too late to understand the customs here before going to other cities and empires.
Li Changsheng went to a restaurant, ordered two dishes and ate them.
What surprised Li Changsheng was that there were a few monks in the store who didn't carry swords, but held ordinary books and read with gusto.
Li Changsheng's eyes were sharp, and he saw "A Brief History of the White Tiger Empire for Ten Thousand Years" written on one of the books.
Good guy, all monks in this empire like to read this kind of books?
"This Fellow Daoist, is he from a foreign land?"
At this time, a little friar with sly eyebrows and mouse eyes came over.
Li Changsheng sized him up a few times without hiding anything, and nodded, "Your Excellency?"
"Hey, I'm here to sell you a chance." The man said mysteriously.
"Opportunity? What opportunity?"
"Exam questions."
"Exam questions? What exam questions?"
"Of course it's Fengling City's promotion exam question. Which monk doesn't want to be an official, don't you?"
Hearing this, Li Changsheng realized that the Empire of the Four Gods was controlled by the cultivation world, monks could enter the court as officials, and monks who entered the court as officials must have literary talent and strength.
Not only talent is required, but also talent is required. The four Great Emperor countries implemented the imperial examination system.
According to Li Changsheng's understanding, the imperial examination system grades of the four Great Emperor countries are Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, Jinshi, Tanhua, Second Place, and Number One Scholar.
All monks in the empire can take the registration exam, which is held once a year starting from childhood, and those who pass the exam are considered scholars.
Then, the township examination is held every five years, and only scholars are eligible to take part.
In the end, the palace examination was held once every five years, and only qualified candidates were eligible to participate, and those who passed the examination were Jinshi.
And as long as you get a Jinshi in the empire, then go home and wait to become an official.
In the cultivation world, if you are not a scholar, you are inferior in the cultivation world.
If you win the Juren, the city lord will treat you with three points of courtesy, assign you an official position, and give you good treatment.
If you become a Jinshi, you will be able to sit on an equal footing with the city lord, and the only way to become an official in the court is to become a Jinshi.
If you get the first place among Jinshi, you will be the No. 1 Scholar, and the empire will report that you will become famous in the cultivation world.
The second place is the second place in the list, and the empire has reported that it has become famous in the cultivation world.
The third place is Tanhua, and the empire has reported that it has become famous in the cultivation world.
In the cultivation circles of the four Great Emperor countries, everyone's lifelong goal is to enter the court and become an official. As long as one becomes an official, even if the cultivation level is a little lower, he can become an existence on an equal footing with high-ranking monks.
Of course, a monk who can be an official has unlimited potential in talent and learning, and it will be a matter of time before his cultivation level improves. The most important reason is that the cultivation resources are completely controlled by the empire.
Only when you become an official can you be qualified to obtain a large amount of cultivation resources.
This is also the reason why the cultivation world desperately wants to become an official in the court.
To be an official is to cultivate. The bigger the official, the richer the resources for cultivation, and the future is limitless.
"The exam question is general history, filial piety?"
The exam questions that Li Changsheng bought for 1,000 Lingshi were so broad.
"You won't fool me, will you?"
"How dare I, this year's exam question in Fengling City is this year. I don't know the specific question. If I know, the price will not be so cheap."
The man said with a flattering face.
"Hehe." Li Changsheng felt that he was cheated, but it was not easy to withdraw. After all, he had read all the exam questions, so he was looking for trouble if he wanted to withdraw.
No wonder the monks in the restaurant are all reading books such as "Book of Filial Piety" and "General History", because they want to pass the exam and become a scholar.
After all, the four Great Emperor countries are all implementing the imperial examination system, and the resources in the cultivation world are all controlled by the empire. If you want to obtain more and better cultivation resources, the only way is to become an official in the court.
"Let me ask you, is there an easier way? The one that doesn't require an exam."
Li Changsheng suddenly asked in a low voice.
"Of course there is."
