"Well, scholars who are here to take the exam, come in!" The guard glanced at Xiao Fan a few times, nodded, and turned aside to let him go.
Xiao Fan quickly thanked him and followed a group of other scholars rushing to take the exam into the city gate.
From the beginning to the end, Xian Tanshi showed no reaction at all.
"Tsk tsk, the immortal world is different, even this mortal imperial city is so grand!" Xiao Fan couldn't help but sigh after entering the imperial city.
The first impression is that it is huge! It is extremely huge!
There is a constant flow of traffic.
Brilliant, explosive and unparalleled in momentum.
This is Xiao Fan's evaluation of this imperial city.
On the street, Xiao Fan did not see half of the immortal cultivators. He looked around and saw only mortals, showing a peaceful scene.
Quietly releasing his spiritual consciousness, he felt that only in the southwest corner of the imperial city was the aura of a large group of immortal energy gathered, and nothing else!
But the power of these immortals does not fluctuate much, and they are not masters at all!
"It seems that a separate place has been opened for immortal cultivators, but there are no masters. Isn't the headquarters of Jiuyi Immortal Palace here? That's not right..." Xiao Fan rubbed his chin in confusion.
Suddenly, he raised his head and looked into the sky.
Above the endless sky, white clouds floated, and it was extremely clear.
"In the sky...it turns out...the headquarters of Jiuyi Immortal Palace...is built in the sky!" Xiao Fan raised the corner of his mouth and said, "What is this? Are immortals high above, overlooking mortals?"
"Hey, what are you doing here? Looking at your attire, you just arrived, right? If you don't book a room quickly, you'll be sleeping on the street tonight!" At this time, a person said behind Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan looked back and saw a man in his early twenties with a handsome appearance, but his hair was a little messy and his beard looked like he hadn't shaved in a long time.
This man looked a little haggard and a little impatient. His robe was covered in patches and he was carrying a rag bag behind his back. He looked very shabby.
"Oh? Do you still need to book a room in advance? Is business so tight?" Xiao Fan smiled slightly and said nonchalantly.
"Oh, look at you, this is your first time in Beijing to take the exam, isn't it? At this time every three years, scholars from all over the country will come here, so naturally the rooms will be in short supply!" The man in the book shook his head and raised his hand.
He actually grabbed Xiao Fan's wrist and pulled him towards an inn not far away.
‘Jin Bang Ti Ming Inn’.
"Oh, the name of this inn is interesting. The owner of this inn really knows how to do business!" Xiao Fan couldn't help but laugh and followed the scholar into the inn.
"Boss... do you still have a room?" the poor scholar asked quickly as soon as he entered the room.
The shopkeeper was a fat man wearing a melon cap, with a fat head and big ears, small eyes and puffy cheeks. After glancing at the poor scholar again, he said coldly: "No more, go to another company!"
"What? No more? This... what should I do? I have asked more than a dozen of them, and they are all full..." the poor scholar said with a lonely look on his face.
"Housekeeper, are there really no rooms left?" Xiao Fan scanned the inn with his consciousness and found that there were still many vacant rooms. It is probably because the shopkeeper saw the shabby appearance of the poor scholar and looked down on him at all.
He just lied and said he didn't have a house.
"There is a room, but there is none that he can afford!" the shopkeeper snorted coldly.
"Really? I want the third room from the north on the second floor. The fourth room from the north is also vacant, right? Just give it to my friend!" Xiao Fan smiled slightly, not bothering to talk to this snobbish person.
What the person was talking about was said calmly.
"Huh? Those two rooms are the upper rooms of Tianzi No. 1. This guest officer, judging from your appearance, you are not a rich man, right? One tael of gold a night, can you afford to live there?" The shopkeeper looked at it again.
Xiao Fan glanced at it, but also didn't think highly of it.
No wonder, in order to avoid drawing too much attention to himself, Xiao Fan not only changed his appearance to a popular appearance before entering the city, but also put on a set of coarse linen clothes. Unexpectedly, he was looked down upon by the shopkeeper!
"This... this brother, let's forget it, one tael of gold... this shopkeeper is obviously looking down on others!" The poor scholar gritted his teeth, flicked his sleeves and angrily shouted: "You snobs
, Don’t deceive young people into being poor. I am indeed poor today. When I am named on the gold list someday, I will only make you regret it!”
"Hahaha, a poor guy like you can still be named on the gold list? It is said that you have won the first place. Even if you win the third flower, I will give you a ### toe!" The shopkeeper shook the fat on his face and said:
He said with his lips.
"Shopkeeper, this man can't speak too harshly!" Xiao Fan shook his head, and his heart moved slightly: It is indeed a purely mortal capital, but it is like the Six Realms, using this kind of gold and silver as currency...
It’s just...where did the gold and silver come from on my body?
Thinking of this, he suddenly saw a large sand pit in the backyard of the inn, which seemed to be used to build another house. He had an idea and in a flash, he collected all the sand in the pit into his sleeves.
His movements are impossible for a mortal to detect!
With a slight movement of his fingers, Xiao Fan instantly refined and purified the yellow sand in his sleeves with the fire of Immortal Gang, and actually produced two taels of gold!
There is gold in the sand. How could Xiao Fan, a master of weapon refining, not know this most basic rule?
"Forget it, brother, let's go and find another place to stay. If there is really no place to stay, what if we sleep on the street? Anyway, I have been studying hard for ten years in order to get the honors, so there is no need to care about this!"
The scholar sighed and said to Xiao Fan.
"Let's go? I really want to stay here today, not just me, but you also have to stay! Two taels of gold, stay for one night first!" Xiao Fan raised his hand and threw the two taels of gold on the counter.
above.
"This..." The shopkeeper was stunned, and his eyes widened when he saw the two taels of gold.
In fact, even for a room in Tianzi No. 1, the daily check-in fee is only ten taels of silver, and one hundred taels of silver can be exchanged for one tael of gold.
The shopkeeper said this just to ridicule Xiao Fan and the other two.
But in front of him, the other party actually took out the gold, which made the shopkeeper's face suddenly become extremely ugly.
"Let's see if it's two taels of gold!" Xiao Fan tapped the table with his finger.
"This... this... is indeed... you two... I'm sorry, you two, please go upstairs..." The shopkeeper's face changed several times, and soon turned into a smile, and he nodded and bowed his hands.
"Changes are really fast. As expected of a businessman, the ability to adapt to the wind is not something you just blow by chance!" Xiao Fan did not forget to sneer, and then he pulled the poor scholar who was standing there straight to the second floor.
How strong is Xiao Fan? He can smash the sky with one punch and pull a mortal away without any effort at all!
"Ah...Brother, what...how did this happen? Your one tael of gold...even if I lose everything and sell everything, I still can't pay it back!" After a long time, the poor scholar who had been sitting in the guest room finally recovered.
, said with a grimace.
"Haha, there's no need to pay it back. I'm Xiao Fei. I'm from Wanjia Town. Do you dare to ask me your surname?" Xiao Fan said with a smile and waved his hand.
"Brother, you have also seen that I am just a poor scholar with no wealth. I come from Qiaojia Town, my surname is Qiao, and I am just a short distance away!" the poor scholar quickly returned his hand.
"It turns out to be Brother Qiao Yuan, nice to meet you!" Xiao Fan hasn't interacted with ordinary people in I don't know how many years. It's interesting to come here once in a while, so he simply got into the role and became polite.
"Hey! I am an official and a noble person, and I don't know the sufferings of the people. I studied hard in my humble life just to get a title and be able to redress the grievances of the people and benefit the people. It's a pity... The officialdom is dark. I lost my name twice in a row. I am unwilling to accept it and want to try again.
!" After chatting for a while, Qiao Yuan clenched his fist angrily and said.
"It's rare that you have a kind heart!" Xiao Fan nodded with appreciation. At the same time, his spiritual consciousness instantly entered Qiao Yuan's body and turned around to see clearly what was going on inside him.
As a result, just as Xiao Fan expected, Qiao Yuan's soul was extremely pure, and... it was even beyond his imagination!
"What a pure and pure Shuiqingxuanming heart!" Xiao Fan couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
The human heart, like human qualifications, can be encountered but cannot be sought.
A pure and clear mind is a mind that is pure and flawless and not contaminated by any dust.
A person with such a mind may not be a candidate for immortal cultivation, and the reality is the same. Qiao Yuan's meridians are so bad that he is not the material for immortal cultivation at all!
But his inner mind is the best carrier to comprehend the power of the water element. Once he comprehends it, he will get twice the result with half the effort!
But no matter what, Xiao Fan planned to give Qiao Yuan some help.
"Don't worry, as long as you have the will, it can come true!" Xiao Fan comforted him with a smile.
"Hey, there are many things that are full of ambition but not enough strength! I hope... the sky has eyes! Even if I can't go to high school in my lifetime, at least there will be a few good officials with conscience to think about the people!" Qiao Yuan nodded.
, sighing again and again.
"Haha, that's all, let's not talk about this for now..." Xiao Fan was about to speak when he heard a burst of noise coming from downstairs.
"What? You mean, the room I booked has been occupied by someone else? How do you do things? Do you still want to open this store? Huh?"
"Master... Master, please calm down. There are many rooms on the top floor of Tianzi No. 1. Rooms No. 3 and 4 are not in a good location and have bad feng shui. Why do you need those two rooms?" The shopkeeper's voice was extremely aggrieved.
said.
"Fart! What do you, an ordinary person, know? My great-uncle is worshiped by the Immortal of the Imperial City. His old man specially told me that if you want to be the top scholar in high school, you must have those two rooms!" The noisy person is a young and energetic man.
Sheng, an ugly-looking man, was accompanied by a group of men with sinister faces and vicious faces.
"His grandma, boys and girls, go and drive out the garbage that has occupied my room. If anyone dares to resist, it doesn't matter even if they are beaten to death!" The young man ordered viciously.
"Yes! Young Master!" A dozen of his subordinates said and ran up to the second floor...
