The culture of the Tianlan world is completely different from that of the main world, and there have been many literary heroes and poets in history, but a world that focuses on cultivation, where the cultural environment is comparable to the main world, can cause an earthquake in the literary world of Tianlan if you casually take out a few popular verses.

It's hard to get back when you cover the water, and it's impossible to take it back if you say it, and the hole you dug yourself has to be filled with tears.

At this time, the scholar had already laid out a carpet on the grass, set up a small tea table, on which were placed all kinds of dishes and wines, and the three of them sat on the ground, holding wine glasses in their hands and drinking bitterly.

"Brother Lu is sure of this scientific expedition?"

Lu Yu now knows that the scientific examination of this world is not a test of Bagu Wen, but some classics and historical classics and theories, the scriptures are some officially formulated works, history is the history of the Great Sage Dynasty, and the classics are mainly the laws of the Great Sage Dynasty, these are some rote knowledge, it is not too difficult for Lu Yu who has undergone exam-oriented education, if there is enough time, it is no problem to pass.

The difficulty lies in the policy theory, which is an article that discusses the political issues of the current dynasty and gives advice to the imperial court.

In the essay, it is analyzed in an orderly manner, disputes are resolved, and prestige is established between the discussions. If you want to win more people's attention to you, appreciate you, praise you, and want to associate with you, then write more of your own opinions, discuss one thing at a time, and only express one point of view in an article, concise and powerful, sharp and sophisticated.

This is not difficult for Lu Yu, who has written a lot of papers, it is rare that Lu Yu does not understand the world, so he can't talk nonsense, the bull's head is not the horse's mouth, and he will talk nonsense.

Fortunately, in these days, Xu Xia and Xia Yueming have been talking, and Lu Yu has learned a lot about the Great Holy Dynasty, which can be regarded as having a little confidence.

In addition, during this time, Lu Yu has also read a lot of policy theories written by his predecessors, and he can imitate a similar article, which is barely a bit of a policy theory.

During this time, Lu Yu fell in love with the wine of this world, for no other reason, the wine of this world is not produced on an industrial assembly line, it is basically brewed in a county and a town, or even in a small workshop at home, and the taste is not the same, the most important thing is that the degree of wine is very low, not much higher than the degree of beer in the main world.

There is another advantage of the monk's drinking, that is, he can replenish the spiritual power lost in the body at any time, which may be the reason why the wine contains a lot of spiritual energy, and the price is cheap, you can buy a good pot of good wine for a hundred yuan, of course, ordinary wine and spirit stone pills cannot be compared at all.

Lu Yu drank wine and ate meat, and said to Xu Xia: "I remember you told me last time that the most important thing in the imperial examination is actually to cultivate to a level, can you talk about it?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Xia put down his wine glass and said, "You don't even care about such an important matter, I really don't know if you're ready!" ”

Xu Xia can't complain about Lu Yu now, but after knowing Lu Yu's family background, he is very curious about Lu Yu's ability to become a monk.

If you want to become a monk in Tianlan World, in addition to having a high enough talent, you also need to have a good family background, a family like Lu Yu can't even afford the most basic pills, even if you become a monk, it is very difficult to grow up.

Another example is Lu Yu's study, the tuition fee handed over to the private school every month is also a lot of money, plus pen, ink, paper, inkstone and books, in a year, it will take ten taels of silver, ten taels of silver can make a family of four barely live for a year, Lu Yu spent more than ten taels of silver just to buy books during this time.

There were only a few most ordinary books in the previous unjust ghost package, and it didn't look like a wealthy family at first glance, and Lu Yu was also wondering how the unjust ghost had the courage to go to Beijing for the scientific examination.

"The main test of the scientific examination is the policy theory, like the classics and scriptures are almost the same every time, so there is not much comparison, but the policy theory can reflect a person's insight and thoughts, which is the main reason why I want to travel."

Xu Xia explained to Lu Yu: "As for poetry and songs, this belongs to personal quality, although it is not the focus, but the examiner also attaches great importance to it, and often the importance of a good poem is not much lower than that of strategy." ”

"The scientific examination of the scriptures and poetry classics is only the first step, it is not too difficult to pass, the admission rate is usually about fifty percent, and the next step is the review of each person's cultivation, this level seems to be very simple, but it is actually the most difficult level, many people can not pass in their lifetime."

"To put it simply, the higher the cultivation, the more advantageous the monk, but in reality this is not the case at all. Thirty-year-old Qi Refining Fifth Layer and twenty-five-year-old Qi Refining Fifth Layer monks are undoubtedly twenty-five-year-old Qi Refining Fifth Layer monks with greater potential, so when reviewing, the examiner will first test the candidate's bone age, then test the candidate's cultivation, and then divide the candidate's bone age by the cultivation, and the smaller the value obtained, the better. ”

"The next thing is to test the candidates' qualifications and qi, blood and soul, many candidates have a good family background, they have taken a lot of pills for cultivation, and they will be promoted to cultivation by force, and by testing the candidates' qualifications and qi and blood, you can detect the difficulty of each candidate's cultivation, and the harder the candidates, the better they can get a better ranking."

"Finally, there is the detection of alien bodies, also known as superbodies, and monks with superbodies can easily enter the top three hundred."

"What is a superbody?" It was the first time Lu Yu had heard the name Super Body.

"The super body is a monk with a special physique, such as the body of the nine yangs, the body of doom, the body of ice, etc., under normal circumstances, the monks of these physiques are basically no different from ordinary monks, but after cultivating special exercises, their strength will skyrocket several times to more than ten times."

"Shouldn't such people be recruited by those sects in advance?"

Xu Xia shook his head and said: "Brother Lu doesn't know, this is different from the qualification of a monk, the qualification can be detected at an early stage, but the super body belongs to the hidden physique, even if it is a monk who has been cultivating for a long time, it will cause the hidden super physique in the body for some special reason, of course, it may not be discovered for a lifetime." Therefore, the superbody is uncertain and unstable, and even this constitution cannot be inherited in the immediate family. ”

"The probability of the appearance of the superbody is extremely low, if the monk is one in a hundred, then the superbody is not even one in 100 million, which shows the rarity of the superbody. Therefore, the competition between the various sects for the super-body cultivator was no less than the competition for the cultivation genius. ”

"But Brother Lu don't worry, super bodies are also divided into strong and weak, good and bad, like the scorching yang physique and the yin and cold physique are the lowest physiques, and the monks who often have super physiques are not too high in cultivation qualifications, this may be the impermanence of the Heavenly Dao!"

Lu Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "In this way, Brother Xu has a great chance this time. ”

Xu Xia said a little proudly: "Of course, judging from the previous scientific examinations, the probability of passing the cultivation examination of the fourth layer of qi refining before the age of twenty-five is more than eighty percent, and the probability of the third layer of qi refining is about fifty percent. ”

"Brother Xia, are you impacting the fourth layer of qi refining?"

Xia Yueming said with a smile on his face: "These days, there are faint signs of loosening in the third layer of my qi refining, maybe it won't take a month to break through to the fourth layer of qi refining." ”

Lu Yu's face darkened, he will be twenty-five years old after this year, and his realm is only at the second level of qi refining, according to Xu Xia's words, his chances are less than one percent, and there is basically no hope.

If you want to reach the third level of qi refining in a short period of time, you need three skill points, and now you have one skill point, and you are still two skill points.

Even if he can rise to the third level of qi refining, his hope of passing the exam is only about fifty percent, which is no longer very safe.

"Is there no other way?"

Xu Xia knew what Lu Yu was worried about, and said helplessly: "I only said the normal situation just now, in fact, there is a special situation, which refers to those double cultivators, we usually call those who refine qi as monks, and those who refine the body as warriors, if someone refines qi and refines the body and cultivates the body, they will become double cultivators." ”

"This kind of monk is very advantageous in the assessment, but not everyone is suitable, and there are fewer body refining warriors than qi refining monks. This is mainly because refining the body is more difficult and requires more resources, and often only those super clans will cultivate such a body refining warrior, or double cultivation cultivator. ”

Xia Yueming on the side retorted: "Then how did I hear that many poor families choose the path of body refining?" ”

"That's right!"

Xu Xia rarely agreed: "In fact, qi refining and body refining have to be divided into two, let's talk about qi refining first, the same qualifications, can it be the same with resources and without resources?" Looking at the refining of the body, the refining of the body is mainly to polish the muscles and bones, and stimulate the potential of the body by constantly breaking through its own tolerance limit, which can usually achieve the goal through high-intensity exercise, which is why you said why most of the poor choose this path. ”

"But the refining of the body is also divided into ways and methods, just ordinary high-intensity exercise, the improvement speed of the realm is extremely slow, under normal circumstances, without the help of external objects, it is considered a genius to reach the third order of the wood realm before the age of twenty-five, but if you use the essence blood of some spirit beasts and the stimulation of heavenly and earthly treasures, if you want to improve the realm of refining the body, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Let's not talk about the treasures of heaven and earth, let's talk about the essence blood of the spirit beast, do you know the price of the essence blood? First of all, not the essence blood of every spirit beast can be used as a refining external substance, only those spirit beast essence blood with a particularly strong physique can be used, which causes those essence blood on the market to be priceless, and it is often booked by those big families as soon as it appears. ”

"When I say this, I should know how difficult it is for a double cultivator to cultivate!"
