However, he has always been concerned about the search for these spiritual herbs. After all, using his special ability to pick these herbs or transplant them next to his practice place can make these herbs more effective and sell them at a higher price.
It was also higher. At the same time, he also ate some that could be taken directly. So in the past two months, he finally broke through again and reached the fifth level of body training.
It was precisely because of this that he had the confidence to fight those big bears and be able to kill them in the end.
In nearly a month, he was going to Pingyang University for the entrance examination, and he was getting a little nervous.
After all, although I heard that the minimum requirement is the third level of physical training, their village chief also came to his house not long ago. After all, his strength is now recognized by the villagers, but he has already reached the third level of physical training, and there are also people
He asked his father if he would let him go to Pingyang College, so after the village chief found out, he came over and told him some things. After all, he was originally from Pingyang College. After all, he got into the exam after all the hard work, but in the end he failed to graduate successfully.
.
After all, although being able to pass the exam means that you have good potential, your subsequent development is still uncertain.
The minimum requirement for the entrance stage is the third level of physical training. If you graduate, you must at least reach the seventh level of physical training, and your age cannot exceed 24 years old.
Once you exceed this age and have not reached the seventh level of physical training, the academy will not recognize your identity.
According to their village chief, he has asked a few old friends in the city and learned that this year's session is still very difficult. It seems to be because the relationship between their Purple Spirit Kingdom and several other surrounding kingdoms has become increasingly tense.
, the above wants to discover more talents.
So this time the city lord's palace and the three major families responded to the royal family's call and allocated more resources than before, and also raised the admission requirements this time.
In the past, there was a high probability of entering the third level of body training, but this time it was not certain.
For this reason, the village chief even took out a body-building pill that he had treasured for a long time and gave it to him. Although he refused, the village chief still smiled and forcefully stuffed it into his hand, so that he could not give it back.
.
He also understood what the village chief meant. He was just interested in his potential. After all, no one in the whole village had been able to enter Pingyang Academy for many years, and he was the one with the highest probability this year. He just invested a hundred taels of gold.
That's all, as the village chief, he can still afford the investment.
Originally, even he who had reached the fourth level of body training was a little worried after hearing that the requirements this year had increased a lot, but now that he has broken through to the fifth level, he is very confident.
In the next few days, he also took the last body-building pill in his body to further improve his strength.
In the last 10 days before the entrance exam, he also returned to his home at the foot of the mountain.
He is also leaving today. After all, registration is about to close, but he cannot wait until the day of the competition to register, otherwise it will be too late.
I don't know who made the news, but now the news that he is going to take the Pingyang College entrance examination has spread throughout the small mountain village. On the day he came down the mountain, there was a crowd in front of his house, at least fifty or sixty people.
After seeing him appear, they all gathered around him enthusiastically, chatting and looking around. It was even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.
After squeezing through the crowd and entering the door of his house, he found that there were a lot of things placed in the lobby, including various delicacies and game, and even antique calligraphy and paintings. He knew without thinking that they should have been given by the people outside, and he felt a little helpless.
He scratched his head, and these guys came to give him gifts before he passed the exam. If he had passed the exam, he might not have passed the threshold of his family.
After seeing him come in, his mother and his sister hurried over, all smiling.
He didn't want to worry about these things and quickly packed his luggage and got ready to set off.
He has been living in this small mountain village since he was a child. He rarely goes out. The farthest place he went was to the trading market outside Pingyang City with his father a few years ago.
He is also very curious about the outside world.
But when he arrived at the entrance of the village, he found that many people were also waiting for him here carrying luggage.
His father suddenly appeared behind him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go. I originally planned to accompany you alone, but I didn't expect these guys would insist on following after hearing this.
Good thing, it will be much safer if so many people go together, and even if we encounter some robbers, they probably won't attack easily."
He also smiled helplessly again, but this was good, at least his own safety was better guaranteed.
Then he also mounted a fast horse, and under the leadership of everyone, he quickly ran out in a certain direction.
Their small mountain village is almost 200 kilometers away from Pingyang City. This distance is not too far for those powerful monks, but it is very far for ordinary people, especially when they have to pass through it on the way.
A hilltop, where robbers were still entrenched for a while.
It is said that Pingyang City and the three major families have jointly sent out troops many times to attack him, but each time the group of robbers learned the news in advance and fled, waiting for the attack team to leave before gathering again.
But fortunately, their village is located in a remote area and is relatively poor compared to other surrounding villages, so the robbers will not come.
Tang Tian originally thought he would encounter some trouble along the way, but it turned out to be quite smooth. Even the shadow of the robbers on the mountain could not be seen. This also surprised him. Aren't they usually very arrogant? Could it be that seeing
They ran away when there were many of them, but that shouldn't be the case. It was said that there were real monks among the group of robbers.
Seemingly sensing his doubts, Commander Zhao, who was leading the team, smiled at him and said, "Xiaotian, why didn't you see the robbers? You seem to be very disappointed."
In his impression, Commander Zhao has always had a very cold image. It is rare to see him smiling. When he saw the other party talking to him with a smile, he was a little uncomfortable for a while, but then he said: "Didn't your commander say that
Were the robbers very arrogant when they were entrenched here for a while? We didn't choose to take a detour this time, we should have been discovered by them long ago. Is it because there are so many of us that we don't dare to take action."
Commander Zhao also looked at him and explained: "Don't worry, these robbers will not act at will in the recent period, because they also know that it is the enrollment day of Pingyang Academy, and there are so many comings and goings.
Many young people may have applied for the exam. It’s okay if they don’t pass the exam, but once they pass the exam, it will be terrible if these people lead others to cause trouble for them in the future. They are just a bunch of bullies and fear of the tough.”
Hearing the other party's explanation, Tang Tian also nodded and understood. I am afraid that this group of robbers had robbed the students who were applying for the college before, but they did not expect that after the other party grew stronger, they came to surround and suppress them.
After this experience, they also restrained themselves a lot. After all, although they were robbers, they were not bad-minded, otherwise they would not have been able to stay on this mountain for so many years.
They set off near noon and the journey was quite smooth. Before nightfall, they successfully arrived at the entrance of the market outside Pingyang City.
If you are not a resident of Pingyang City, it is very strict if you want to enter. You must first register outside this stronghold. Of course, if you have the strength of the seventh level of body training or above, you don't need to.
After learning that Tang Tian had come to apply for Pingyang University, several staff at this stronghold also looked over, and then they quickly smiled and led him to a house.
There was an old man sitting here. He glanced at Tang Tian, stopped talking, and went about his work.
He was quickly registered, and after coming out, he waved to his father, and then walked towards the city gate.
Under the guidance of the previous people, after entering the city gate, he soon arrived at a designated inn, where he could stay for free as long as he stated that he was attending Pingyang University.
Of course, the people who live here are basically children from nearby villages, or some relatively poor residents, such as those children of big families or children of wealthy families, who all live in higher-end inns.
Soon a service staff arranged a room for him, and then informed him of some precautions. There were many things that he couldn't do in the city, otherwise he would be arrested immediately.
When he came in, he also saw several young men who looked like him. They all had strong energy and blood, and were at the third level of body forging or above. He even saw a fourth level body forging.
Heavy.
But he didn't care much.
He also went out early the next morning and came to a place where medicinal materials were traded.
After all, he still has a lot of inventory, and this time he just happened to sell it all together in exchange for gold to buy other things he needs.
A few minutes later, his face looked a little ugly. He walked out of the trading shop, weighed the bag in his hand, and couldn't help but cursed secretly.
He is really a profiteer. He is not talking about this medicine shop, but the merchants who collect herbal medicines at the gathering points outside the city. The prices offered in this city are generally higher than those at the exchanges outside the city.
Two to three percent is just a gap between inside and outside the city.
But there is nothing he can do about it. After all, his father and the others are not qualified to enter the city. It does not mean that they are not qualified, but they need to go through several days of review procedures, and then pay a deposit, etc. This is very difficult for them, retail investors who come from outside to sell.
They are very unfriendly. Instead of staying here for so long, it is better to go back earlier, even if the price is lower, there is no way.
