Xie Li thought there was something wrong with the stone tablet. Even some monks at the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining could not reach the soul strength of 30, let alone a person who had just become a Qi Refining Practitioner! But the scene in front of him really happened.
, not allowing anyone to question, they watched in stunned silence as the scale climbed to 39, and then it stopped steadily! Generally speaking, the strength of the soul of a Qi practitioner is about one-half of the spiritual power, and those with outstanding talents may
and spiritual power were equal to each other, but Li Xuan’s soul was almost twice as much as his spiritual power, far beyond the average level! When Li Xuan opened his eyes and took back his hands and asked Xie Li whether he passed the assessment, everyone stared at him intently.
Looking at him was like looking at a monster! "How are my grades? Did I pass the assessment?"
Li Xuan didn't know his results, so when he saw Xie Li staring at him dumbfounded, as if he had turned into a clay sculpture, he couldn't help but ask.
Xie Li suddenly woke up and stammered: "You...your grades are not...not bad. You passed the assessment."
With trembling hands, Xie Li signed his name on a crystal card. Xie Li handed the crystal card to Li Xuan and said: "This is your scholar crystal card. With this crystal card, you can enjoy the privileges of a scholar within the empire."
Yes…congratulations!”
Everyone around looked at Li Xuan with strange eyes. They no longer dared to look down on this former waste, and spread around in whispers, discussing the incredible achievement just now.
Li Xuan didn't care about other people's reactions. He held the crystal card and listened to Xie Li's introduction to the scholar.
Obtaining the crystal card means that Li Xuan has completed registration and has officially become a scholar in the Yunteng Empire! Although scholars do not belong to the nobility, they are still considered a privileged class and enjoy rights that ordinary people cannot enjoy.
Scholars are divided into five levels and are promoted based on merit points. Scholars at each level enjoy different rights.
Li Xuan has just registered and is the lowest "Black Iron Scholar". In addition to receiving a monthly allowance of 5 spiritual stones, he can also purchase some medicines, spells, weapons and other items at a discounted price at the Scholar branch.
.
These benefits may be a huge temptation to other Qi practitioners, but they are not worth mentioning to Li Xuan.
"Li Xuan!"
Just when Li Xuan was thinking about how to improve his scholar level and enjoy more power, Xie Li's tone suddenly became solemn.
"Is there a problem?"
Li Xuan was stunned.
Xie Li said seriously: "Li Xuan, becoming a scholar definitely not only enjoys power, but also assumes obligations.
From today on, you are a distinguished scholar in the empire. You must abide by the honorary creed of a scholar and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. When the country is in danger, you need to stand up and serve the country! You can do it
?"
"Well...I can do it."
Li Xuan hesitated for a moment, but for the sake of 5 spiritual stones per month, he nodded.
"Actually, you don't have to worry, the country rarely uses black iron scholars."
Xie Li's expression softened again and he smiled slightly.
Since seeing Li Xuan's test results, Xie Li's attitude has changed a lot and he doesn't dare to make things difficult anymore.
He and Li Xuan had no grudges, so why would he offend a potential Qi practitioner with 39 soul strength just after he retired?
Even in order to avoid causing jealousy if the things that made things difficult for Li Xuan leaked, Xie Li's attitude became very attentive, just to make up for his previous mistakes.
"Li Xuan, the empire values scholars very much, and is willing to spend more financial and material resources to train some talents who have potential and are loyal to the empire.
I'm very optimistic about you, and I will submit your name for this year's special talent allowance.
In short, as long as you practice hard, I will definitely help you!"
Xie Li said again.
Although he didn’t understand why Xie Li showed favor to him, he still took advantage of the benefits brought to his door. Li Xuan said with a smile: "Thank you very much!"
Xie Li encouraged Li Xuan again, and then said: "I will also send your information to the Xiucai headquarters so that you can familiarize yourself with the environment here.
The library is on the second floor, the trading market is on the third floor, and the meditation room is on the fourth floor.
The fifth floor is the senior scholar club, and you are not qualified to go up yet."
"I understand. Mr. Xie Li, please do as you please. I'll take a walk by myself."
Li Xuan nodded.
After seeing off Xie Li, Li Xuan walked around the Xiucai branch under the gaze of many surprised eyes.
Although it is only a branch in a small place like Xianyun City, this scholar branch is actually quite big.
Li Xuan walked a few steps and found an honor list with names posted on it, and there was an introduction under each name.
"Qi Fenghai?"
Li Xuan looked at the name at the top of the list, "Awakened his talent at the age of fifteen, made a breakthrough in three months, was promoted to the fifth level of Qi refining at the age of seventeen, and is now at the peak of Qi refining at the age of eighteen, and is also a silver scholar.
Tsk tsk, doesn’t this mean that the foundation will be established soon?”
Looking further down, each name is followed by an introduction full of praise. It seems that all the young and powerful people in Xianyun City are on this honor list.
Looking along the way, Li Xuan actually saw a familiar name.
"Li Huang... Hehe, you are also on this list. You are also a silver scholar... If I have a chance, I will dig your name off it!"
Continuing to walk forward, Li Xuan saw another Xiucai branch management regulations. He looked carefully and found a very interesting regulation.
"Private fights between scholars are strictly prohibited, but duels are allowed.
The challenger must obtain the consent of the challenger and compete in the duel field on the fourth floor of the Xiucai branch.
Those who violate the regulations will be severely punished!"
"This one is pretty good."
Li Xuan squinted his eyes, bad ideas swirling in his mind.
Wander all the way and climb to the second floor. This is the library of the Xiucai branch. You can use the merit points in the crystal card or directly use the spirit stones to exchange for the right to read books here.
Li Xuan drooled as he looked at the rows of books in the library. Unfortunately, his crystal card didn't even have any merit points, and his pockets were cleaner than his face.
If you want to borrow books, you must first earn merit points and spirit stones.
The same goes for the trading market on the third floor. Whether it is public exchange by the scholar branch or items sold privately by some scholars, no matter how much the price is, Li Xuan cannot afford to buy them, so he can only live with his eyesight.
After becoming a scholar, Li Xuan could receive a monthly allowance of 5 spiritual stones from the empire, and his family would also distribute 10 spiritual stones and some medicines every month. However, after looking at the prices in the library and trading market, he felt sad
He found that this amount of spiritual stones was not enough. He was too poor! "It seems that it is necessary to think of a way to make money."
When Li Xuan came to the fourth floor and found that the meditation room that could improve meditation efficiency was also clearly priced, and the daily rent was 5 spiritual stones, he secretly thought with pain and determination.
Back on the second floor, Li Xuan found some free books in the library and started reading them.
These books introduce the customs, human geography and some basic knowledge of Wulunfeng.
Although Li Xuan had already understood some of the content in it, there were still some new discoveries.
For example, the geography of Wulunfeng Realm was vague in the few books Li Xuan read before, but the map booklet in front of him was much more intuitive.
On the map book, you can clearly see the entire outline of the continent, as well as the more than twenty countries on it, all vividly.
