Cui Yourong was very relieved to see that Chen Yanjun had not given up on her useless son.
Feeling the master's demeanor as the head of the family, coupled with the skin-to-skin kiss just now, he felt shy on his face, so he turned around and went back to his room to rest without saying a word.
Seeing that it was dawn, Qiuzao didn't go to rest, and planned to go directly to the Imperial College.
Even Chen Yanjun has reached the first rank. If she cannot advance to the fifth rank within three years, she will become a laughing stock.
"You can have a day off today. You should consider your aunt's invitation tomorrow."
After that, she took back Chen Yanjun's green horse and replaced it with an ordinary ninth-grade white horse as Chen Yanjun's mount.
Chen Yanjun took a closer look and saw that the white horse looked pretty, but it was not a filly, but a young stallion.
"What are you looking at?"
"The most important things about a horse are its speed, endurance, and load-bearing ability. It doesn't matter whether it's male or female."
"Remember to be nice to Xiaobai!"
After saying that, Qiu Zhuo turned around and left Cui's house.
According to Qiu Zhuo's instructions, Chen Yanjun and Baima shed blood to recognize their master and became a contracted master and servant.
Then he gently caressed the horse's buttocks and put the spirit horse into the inventory with a thought.
Ordinary living spiritual beasts cannot be put casually into Nai rings, talismans or storage bags.
Only spirit beasts that have received professional training from beast masters can do so, and they must shed blood to recognize their master.
"I am also a person who has a spiritual beast mount, but it is a pity that my ninth-grade cultivation level is not yet able to control a Pegasus."
Fortunately, whether it is the inner city of Chang'an or the counties outside the city, the roads are smooth and extend in all directions, and horses are enough to reach anywhere.
As for the matter of the Prison Department...
At the moment, Chen Yanjun has just entered the imperial examination and has no plans to seek death from Murong Ye.
He went back to his room to rest for a while and plan his next practice route.
In this way, after going to the Imperial College, you can choose courses and practice as much as possible.
When returning to the backyard.
Chen Yanjun happened to meet Butler Lei.
It was just right, but it felt like the old man had been waiting here for a long time.
The footprints spinning in circles are faintly visible.
Lei Wusheng looked at Chen Yanjun carefully. It was indeed of high quality, but he felt it was too plain.
"Young master, is this... high-grade?"
"Um."
Chen Yanjun nodded.
Because he has a constitution that is endowed with all five elements and has entered the third realm of nourishing qi, he can freely control the spiritual pressure in his Dantian. He can be as restrained and unpretentious as a mortal, or he can spread his spiritual pressure like a peacock spreading his tail, releasing pure and elegant spiritual pressure.
Lei Wusheng looked at Chen Yanjun again, thinking that he was dazzled, as if he was a completely different person.
"I see that the master's spiritual pressure is balanced and abundant, as pure as jade. This step is very steady!"
"Thanks to Madam for cultivating me over the years."
Chen Yanjun understood that Butler Lei must have been sent by Aunt Feng to observe whether he was qualified so that he could return to Cui Mansion.
Now, the more he shows his talent for cultivation, the more power he has in front of the Cui family, and the more he can control the fate of himself, his wife, and Qiu Zhuo.
Lei Wusheng cupped his hands and expressed joy, saying:
"For such a happy event, the Cui family must be notified as soon as possible."
Chen Yanjun thought for a while and reminded:
"Try not to let Qingchuan know about this."
Lei Wusheng was stunned for a long time. He didn't understand what Chen Yanjun meant, and he didn't ask in detail. He just said:
"Listen to the master's instructions."
…
After Lei Wusheng left, Chen Yanjun prepared to go back to the house.
When he passed by an old locust tree, he had spiritual consciousness and subconsciously glanced at the tree trunk.
That day, the iron beads shot by the Qinghong Sword had been completely embedded in the tree trunk and wrapped in the tree sap.
The skin has healed…
"This locust tree is quite tolerant."
Looking carefully, the old locust tree probably existed before the spiritual energy was revived, and it is much older than the wife's ex-husband.
From this point of view, it seems that it was not planted to commemorate the late husband.
The yin energy of the old locust tree is not strong, and it is not of high quality, but its quality seems to be somewhat extraordinary, and the specifics cannot be seen.
"There are locust trees planted in the yard, and their branches and leaves even extend to the neighboring houses... there should be some secrets."
With this thought in mind, Chen Yanjun turned around and returned to the house.
…
Small study room.
The tea has cooled down and is just right in your mouth.
Chen Yanjun brought a cup of tea, sat down cross-legged in the practice cubicle, and began to rotate the heavens for the first time.
It feels like the sea is open to all rivers...
It's hard to describe how comfortable I feel all over my body.
After being admitted, Chen Yanjun had to choose a major and minor career.
The position given to him on the panel is: Ninth-grade martial artist.
This may be related to the ultimate physical skills.
The foundation of physical skills has been laid, and the martial artist will naturally continue to practice along the way.
The next step is to practice swordsmanship, such as practicing some spiritual swordsmanship, sharpening the sword, or releasing sword energy.
In this way, you will have the feeling of being a swordsman.
Not only for actual combat, but also for handsomeness. Being handsome is a lifelong matter.
It was the same choice as Murong Ye and Cui Qianan.
"Besides, I already have a foundation in physical skills, so I can learn swordsmanship very quickly."
In addition to the martial arts lineage, Chen Yanjun's medical skills are about to reach full level.
However, the profession of an alchemist is not only about medical skills, but also about planting and refining medicines.
Chen Yanjun is not interested in these.
He studied medicine for first aid so that he could save himself, his family and friends at critical moments.
As for growing and refining medicines, you can buy them at the medicine shop. My wife is the owner of the medicine shop.
"I don't have time to learn how to grow and refine medicine now. I'll talk about it later when I encounter medicines that I can't buy."
As a beast master, Qiu Zhuo is a genius among geniuses, and his wife seems to be good at it too.
If you need any spiritual beasts, you can ask them to help cultivate them...
"The combat capabilities of low-level beastmasters are limited. Right now, I can't waste time on it."
Craftsman is actually a good occupation for climbing the technology tree, especially suitable for time travellers.
The development of the craftsman profession in this world is very average. Ordinary magic weapons are easily underestimated by opponents in battle, but are suitable for surprise attacks.
Craftsmen are mainly divided into design, runes and forging.
The design is simple, just be a scientific copywriter.
Forging is also simple. If you have a weapons supervisor who is in charge of Master Jianzheng, and you have a good relationship with him, it won't be a big problem to ask the weapons supervisor to help you make some magic weapons.
"As long as you fill up the rune engraving points, you may be able to create an artifact that is enough to fight across levels!"
Thinking about it this way, Chen Yanjun was actually looking forward to it.
Craftsman can be used as an alternative.
Finally, among the three main subjects of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, just choose one to practice.
Choosing too many will result in a rush.
So far in the Xianwu era, only the eldest princess Li Yueshuang has practiced Taoism and Buddhism, and has extraordinary attainments. It is rare to hear that anyone else can practice both.
Confucianism was the mainstream of spiritual practice in the Tang Dynasty, and it was easy to learn but difficult to master.
However, Confucian masters have to read the Four Books and Five Classics, and they also have to regulate the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world... This sounds very annoying.
When fighting, I still have to recite Confucian poems to clear my Qi, which always feels a bit shameful.
The combat effectiveness of Confucian masters is also average, but they are easy to practice, so that princes and nobles can become officials with mixed academic qualifications.
Only those who have cultivated to a third-grade Confucian or above can be able to speak according to the law, but it is too difficult, and Liu Juzheng, who has such a talent, has not been able to achieve it after years of hard work.
In the recorded history of the Xianwu era, there has never been a true first-class scholar!
The only pseudo-first-grade scholar was the Jijiu Master of the Imperial College. He could not make any progress until he reached the second-grade scholar for a hundred years. Later, he switched to chess and assisted in his cultivation to reach the first-grade scholar.
But Lord Jijiu never spoke out about Dharma Sui from now on. Instead, he practiced playing chess games and fighting. He was not really a first-class Confucian.
The bottleneck of Confucianism is too difficult.
In particular, Chen Yanjun was a pure scholar in his previous life and could not find a job before graduation. Now he has finally traveled to the world of high martial arts.
What's more, now, troubled times are coming...
"A useless scholar is a scholar who doesn't learn and doesn't learn!"
As for Zen masters, it was popular among people in the Tang Dynasty to eat fast and chant Buddha's name. There were many practitioners, but most of them chanted blindly.
The Zen master is a type with a firm mind and a solid foundation. His practice is extremely difficult, and his combat effectiveness at the same level is very impressive.
A low-level Zen master is even stronger than a martial artist of the same level!
Zen Master Wanhua of Daci'en Temple is the only first-grade Zen master who has escaped into Buddhism and does not care about worldly affairs.
It stands to reason that Chen Yanjun will have an advantage if he enters the third realm of nourishing qi and practices Buddhism.
But if a Zen master wants to become a monk, he must at least shave his head.
It is said that after shaving your hair, you can listen to the heavenly instructions and receive the essence of the sun and moon when practicing meditation... Chen Yanjun does not know whether it is true or not.
For example, Mrs. Zhang is an old nun. No matter how brightly she dresses, she still wears a nun's hat on her head.
There are also Cui Da, Master Cui, and the bald old man who were rescued by Chen Yanjun personally...
It doesn’t fit in with Chen Yanjun’s handsome and imposing image.
"Being handsome is a lifelong thing, you can't learn from it until you die!"
Looking at it this way, Chen Yanjun could only choose the Taoist lineage.
Eunuch Qiu, who wielded power over the entire government and took advantage of Emperor Tianshun, was a first-level magician.
It seems that there is still some future in studying Taoism.
Of course, Chen Yanjun did not plan to practice all kinds of Taoist techniques comprehensively and systematically, but selectively practiced some practical techniques.
For example, the simplest Yuling.
The so-called spiritual control in Taoism refers to the control of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Generally speaking, only by controlling one spirit alone can one reach the state of transformation and maximize combat power.
But Chen Yanjun is endowed with all five elements, so he may be able to train them all to the full level.
"If metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are all at full level, no matter where I go, it will be my home court!"
The five elements of spiritual power are attached to the sword, which can create dazzling sword shadows.
As for spells, they are combos or combinations of moves learned after becoming proficient in controlling spirits, forming a fixed routine, which usually requires pinching and chanting spells to cast... It is not a priority for Chen Yanjun's practice.
At this point, Chen Yanjun summarizes the direction of practice——
He majored in martial arts, focusing on swordsmanship.
Auxiliary training in alchemist, magician and craftsman.
Magicians are for combat assistance. The battlefield is ever-changing, and learning the five elements of spirit control is very useful!
In order to forge the artifact, the craftsman can make a surprise attack. At the critical moment, he can defeat the weak and the strong and reverse the situation of the battle.
As for the alchemist, Chen Yanjun only practices medical skills to save himself and others.
In this way, the entire combat system was formed.
In addition, practice should not be neglected. In addition to daily practice, resources must also be sufficient. The five elements are equally endowed with high resource requirements...
"It seems that I also need to make more money!"
Right now, he plans to go to Nanxianfang to sell Cui Qian'an's Xuan-level sword, and then go to the sword-making shop to customize a suitable natal sword.
After that, I went to the Danlin Academy of the Imperial Academy to consult with the teaching assistant to improve my medical skills. I also took a look at Master Cui’s treatment.
Chen Yanjun's heart opened up, and he regained the excitement of his student days after a long absence.
"I have just traveled through time for a week, and my journey of spiritual practice is about to officially begin!"
Going to take risks in the Prison Department? That's not possible. Right now, he just wants to study hard.
His dot panel is thirsty!
As I was thinking about it, a line of translucent subtitles slowly appeared in front of my eyes.
