Chapter Twenty-Six: The Eight Palaces of the Taoist Academy

Mu Qingfeng, who was waiting anxiously in the square, saw the children coming out of the door of the main hall and hurriedly greeted them. "How is it, how is the awakening of talent?" Everyone from Linxing Village gathered around, with anticipation in their eyes, hoping to hear the good news. Chen Yuan had no choice but to smile bitterly and tell these elders who didn't know about the awakening ceremony.

"Because of the Spirit Devouring Body, I may not be able to enter the Dao Academy, but Bai Geng's talent is very good, I hope she can get one of the three guaranteed places." Chen Yuan said to his father and uncle, who led the team. "Child, you don't have to be discouraged, even if you can't cultivate, you can't enter the Taoist Academy, with your hunting skills and mind alone, you can mix well anywhere, you must take it to heart, our group of people has not experienced the awakening of talent, and they are not still living well. Mu Qingyun was afraid that Chen Yuan would be hit and collapsed, so he hurriedly comforted him.

"Don't worry, uncle, I'm fine, these are nothing to me. Chen Yuan said. Chen Yuan was indeed not too frustrated, although the talent awakening was not successful, but he already had the most suitable strength for himself, that is, the power of qi and blood that he had cultivated by mistake, not like other people who did not succeed in talent awakening. He believed that the power he possessed was not inferior to the power of various attributes, and even more powerful. It made him a little regretful that if the talent was not awakened successfully, there was no way to get the quota of the Daoist Academy, after all, these three places were based on the talent potential, not the actual combat effectiveness.

"Who said you didn't have a chance to enter the Dao Academy?" This is Xiao Wanqing's voice sounded, seeing Chen Yuan coming out of the Awakening Palace, Xiao Wanqing, who felt that this young man was not ordinary, also followed to the door of the Awakening Palace, I thought that Chen Yuan's talent was very high, but I didn't expect that it was indeed a rare soul devouring body among millions of people, and he couldn't cultivate congenitally, so he couldn't help but secretly say a pity in his heart. However, for this young man who was neither humble nor arrogant when she met for the first time, Xiao Wanqing still had a good impression in her heart. Hearing Chen Yuan say that there was no way to enter the Dao Academy, she said.

"Oh, what do you say?" asked Tatsumoto in surprise. He also had a good impression of this granddaughter of the city lord who did not bully people and did things quite manly, and as the pearl of the main city lord, his understanding of the Taoist Academy must be far above that of those of them who came from remote villages. Thinking of this, Chen Yuan's mind couldn't help but come alive. Not only Chen Yuan, but also those teenagers who only have first-class talent and are destined to not get the guaranteed place, their eyes lit up when they heard Xiao Wanqing's words.

Seeing that everyone wanted to know, Xiao Wanqing didn't buy Guan Zi, and said directly: "Actually, this is not secret news, the talent awakening test ceremonies in the major main cities will be held for about three days, and after that, the Daoist Academy will set up test centers in the major main cities to assess the teenagers who want to enter the Daoist Academy." Because talent is one aspect of selecting talents, but brains, combat effectiveness, adaptability, and all kinds of skills and knowledge are also very important, and the Taoist Academy not only cultivates excellent cultivators, but also cultivates managers. After all, to govern a domain, not only must have a strong force, but also the management, operation and operation involved are extremely complex, these aspects also need talents, even the army that has always been martial, but also need proper command and sophisticated tactics to be able to exert stronger strength. Therefore, even if you are a Spirit Devouring Body, you will be able to pass the exam and enter the Dao Academy. ”

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up, if he could pass the exam and enter the Taoist Academy, it would be a good thing. What is Chen Yuan's advantage, isn't it the memory brought by the crossing! The tactics learned in the army and the secret service organization over the years, as well as various skills, as well as psychology, management, economics, etc., are all knowledge beyond this world, so that if you pass the exam, you may really be able to enter the Taoist Academy smoothly and better understand the world.

"I'm afraid this so-called exam is not easy. When the hope of entering the Daoist Academy was rekindled, Chen Yuan was still calm, if the so-called Daoist Academy exam was good, how could there be countless people who broke their heads to compete for these three guaranteed places, wouldn't it be good if they all went to the exam. Moreover, the enrollment of the Taoist Academy must be a big news for everyone, but from yesterday when I stayed in the hotel, to today's ceremony in the square, no one talked about it, this is too abnormal, Chen Yuan faintly felt that the entrance examination of this Taoist Academy was not as simple as he imagined.

Xiao Wanqing glanced at Chen Yuan in surprise, obviously this young man's calmness and sharpness surprised her very much, and then said: "That's right, the Daoist Academy will conduct examinations and enrollment in the major main cities every year after the talent awakening test ceremony, because during this time, almost all the talented teenagers in the whole region are concentrated in the main cities of various places, and the chance of selecting outstanding talents is greater. At the beginning, countless people came to the exam, wanting to enter the Daoist Academy to practice in this way, but the content of the exam was too difficult, even if it improved the probability of meeting talents, but for a hundred years, other domains did not know that less than ten people in our Youtian Domain passed the exam and successfully entered the Daoist Academy to study.

Slowly, few people mention the entrance examination of this academy, and only a handful of people go to take the exam every year, which is equivalent to going through the motions every year. That's why people have to compete for those few guaranteed places. ”

Everyone gasped, less than ten people have passed in the past hundred years, and this pass rate is really too low!" "A young man lost the Dao, and originally thought that he would be able to enter the Taoist temple to practice through other methods, but now it seems that it will not work.

"No, I think he can give it a try, and he can pass. Xiao Wanqing pointed at Chen Yuan and said. "Well, I think so too!" Chen Yuan said with a smile, not surprised at all because Xiao Wanqing said that he might pass, in his opinion, he has a lot of knowledge beyond this world, although it is very difficult, but there is still a high probability of passing the exam, after all, he is not only a twelve-year-old teenager with extremely shallow social experience, but an ace agent who has undergone professional training and countless trainings.

Xiao Wanqing didn't expect Chen Yuan to admit it directly without being modest at all, so she couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, secretly saying that Chen Yuan was narcissistic. Then he went on to explain: "The reason why the passing rate of the Daoist Academy Examination is extremely low is because the Daoyuan Examination has a total of six contents, and as long as one of them fails, it will not be admitted, so people call it the 'Sixth Examination of the Academy.'" ’

The so-called school palace, because students in various places like different occupations and the type of knowledge they want to learn, so the Taoist Academy is divided into eight departments with different teaching content and different emphasis, and there are a total of eight such departments, called the Eight Palaces of the Taoist Academy. They are weapons, pills, military, politics, literature, martial arts, medicine, and beasts. The courses taught correspond to the name of the school palace, Qi Gong Refining, Dan Gong Dan making, Military Palace Military, Political Palace Management, Medicine Palace Medical, and Animal Palace Taming. Among the eight palaces, the second palace of civil and military affairs is the most special, the palace cultivates a full range of talents, from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to astronomy and geography, from flowers and trees to birds, beasts, insects and fish, from ancient documents to mainland history, and even architecture, food and music must be understood, heard, identified, recognized, and smelled, so the people of the Wengong are called young phoenixes in the Taoist courtyard. And the Martial Palace gathers the most talented people in the whole region, the people selected from the talent awakening test in each main city, enter the Dao Academy, they have to go through another selection, and those who get the winner can enter the Martial Palace, and those who are eliminated in the second selection choose to enter the other seven palaces to practice according to their own preferences. Therefore, the people of the Martial Palace are the strongest group of people in the entire Daoist Academy, so they are also called the Hidden Dragon.

Because of the different occupations and courses studied, there are strong and weak forces. The four palaces of literature, politics, medicine, and Dan do not have particularly high requirements for the combat effectiveness of students, so they are called the four palaces of literature, and the combat effectiveness of martial arts, weapons, military, and beast students is amazing, and they are called the four palaces of martial arts. Your physique can't cultivate, if you're going to take the Daoist Academy's exam, I suggest you choose the exam of the Fourth Palace of Wen, because the content of the exam will change depending on the palace you choose to go to practice, and if you choose the Fourth Palace of Martial Arts, there is no hope of passing at all. Xiao Wanqing said to Chen Yuan in a sincere tone.
