At night, Ou Lao only said that Chu Yi and Han Su were asleep, so he opened the door and walked out.

"Master. But it was Chu Yi who shouted.

Ou Lao said: "There are many people during the day, so I'll go out and look around and choose a suitable road." ”

Chu Yi nodded.

Ou Lao said: "You are optimistic about the cold crisp here." ”

......

Nothing happened overnight.

The next day, Ou Lao took Chu Yi and Han Su to have breakfast in the lobby.

Han Su had a big meat bun in one hand, and he was very happy to eat, Chu Yi was also full of buns, but he still said in his mouth: "Han Shu, you eat slowly." As he spoke, a few small clumps fell out of his mouth, and he hurriedly caught them with his hands and filled them back into his mouth.

Han Su took a bite of the buns in his two hands, wrinkled his nose at Chu Yi, put the buns he had bitten in his hand in the bowl in front of him, and reached out to take the ones on the plate.

Chu Yi saw that there were three buns left on the plate, and he hurriedly took two of them in his hand, chewed quickly in his mouth, swallowed with some difficulty, and stuck out his tongue towards Han Shu, but he was choked, and hurriedly poured a bowl of tea, drank it in two or three sips, let out a long breath, and bit the bun in his hand again, looking at Han Shu proudly.

Seeing that Han Shu hadn't robbed Chu Yi, he said to Ou Lao: "Grandpa, junior brother, he bullied me again!"

Ou Lao also smiled, slapped the back of Chu Yi's hand, snatched the unbitten bun, handed it to Han Su, Han Su took the bun, stuck out his tongue at Chu Yi again, rolled his eyes, and then shook his head and bit the bun in his hand.

Chu Yi said: "Hmph! I can't finish eating, so I'll leave you here to do chores!"

Han Su said: "If you want to stay, I will also leave you!, right, grandpa!"

Ou Lao smiled and nodded.

Chu Yi said: "Two to one, it's not fair, I won't play with you anymore!"

Han Shu didn't spare it, and said, "I'll wipe your hands with your clothes later!"

Chu Yi said: "You little girl is getting more and more arrogant!"

Ou Lao sat in the lobby for a long time, but he didn't see Zhong Liye and the others come out, so he called the guy to ask.

The guy said, "Zhongli Gongzi and they have already left the room when they are young. ”

"Gone?" said Ou Lao, "and say thank you...... Alright, let's go too. As he spoke, he placed a silver coin on the table. Han Su also had to pick up the four buns in front of him.

When the guy saw this, he hurriedly ran to get a few pieces of oiled paper, wrapped the buns in front of Hanshu one by one, and wrapped them together in a large oiled paper. Seeing this, Han Su ran to Chu Yi, and rubbed his two little hands on Chu Yi's body, Chu Yi was also helpless, and carried the bun wrapped by the guy in his hand.

The three of them went out of the city, looking at the wide and smooth official road in front of them, Chu Yi said, "Master, this is the route you chose?"

Ou Lao nodded and said, "The path is easy to be found by that Qiao Xuan...... I originally wanted to hire a car, but then I thought about it, it was too slow, so I should use it. ”

"If you walk along the official road, you can reach Huayang Chen, the county seat of Huayang County, and you can be stable for a while when you get there. ”

"When you arrive in Huayang City, you have to hurry up your cultivation, and you have to reach the Spirit Crystal Realm before the scientific examination!"

"Is it a scientific expedition?" Chu Yi said, "The day is not far away, but Master, I have no intention of participating in the scientific examination!"

The scientific examination is jointly initiated by the five empires of the Shenzhou Realm, and is undertaken by the Guozijian Academy, an academy directly under the empire, to select outstanding talents from various continents. The registration requirements are under the age of eighteen, and the strength has reached the Spirit Crystal Realm or the Qingding Realm, and those who pass the selection criteria can enter the Guozijian of the Five Great Empires to study, and those who rank among the top can freely choose the empire they want to go to.

Those who graduate from Guozijian will definitely be high-level officials of the five empires in the future, and those who are outstanding can enjoy supreme treatment and rich cultivation resources.

However, the students of the Guozijian must serve the empire for twenty years in the future, and any action must be approved by the empire, and after twenty years, they can obtain relative freedom.

The said conditions were harsh, but it did not hinder the cultivators of the Divine Realm Realm, and one by one they still sharpened their heads and drilled forward. After all, compared to that supreme treatment and abundant cultivation resources, the so-called freedom was indeed not that important.

Moreover, the so-called actions must be approved, and they do not need to be approved at various levels before they can act, in principle, as long as they do not harm the interests of the empire, they are still quite free.

But Chu Yi had no intention of participating in the scientific expedition and entering the Guozijian at all, what he needed was to be able to return to Yongzhou and Chaos Mountain as soon as possible after prompting his strength.

Ou Lao said: "This year's scientific expedition is a little special!"

Chu Yi said, "Oh?"

Ou Lao said: "The 'battle of the ladder' of the three major academies is carried out together with the scientific expedition!"

The three academies are the three major academies of Shenzhou, and unlike Guozijian, the three academies are also the same standard, but the three academies have always been neutral and do not participate in the struggle between the empire or the major forces, and the students who graduate from the three academies are also the absolute freedom of the owner, and they can choose to join the empire, the major forces or stay in the academy.

It's just that in the past, the "battle of the ladder" of the three major academies was separated from the scientific expedition, but now it is to be put together, I don't know if it is the meaning of the five empires or the proposal of the three academies.

"Do you want to do it together?" Chu Yi said, "'The Battle of the Heavenly Ladder'...... There is less than half a year left!"

Ou Lao said: "Your goal should not be to simply pass this ladder battle!"

Chu Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Where can it be called simple now! Huayang County doesn't know how many Tianjiao like Zhong Liye are, let alone the entire Liangzhou Continent and even the Shenzhou Boundary!"

Ou Lao smiled: "Yo, my good boy is starting to worry too!"

Chu Yi said: "Actually, it's not a problem to rush to the top of the ladder......

"I looked worried just now, and I'm starting to boast about it again!" Ou Lao knocked Chu Yi's head.

Chu Yi said: "Actually, as long as I find the doorway of the Arctic Three Clear Secrets, won't I directly become a spiritual crystal realm?

Ou Lao scolded with a smile: "You kid, who did you learn from in your mouth kung fu?"

Chu Yi said: "Master, your apprentice and I have always been so optimistic! This time the battle for the ladder may be more fierce than before, but I am the grandson of the soulless soul Chu Wushuang, I will not only return to Chaos Mountain in the future, but I will also surpass my grandfather and be the first person in this Shenzhou realm! And the eight desolate monsters, compared to these, this battle of the ladder is just a mere one!"

Ou Lao said: "Good boy!" said that he took out a black sword from somewhere, and said: "If you win the top ten in this battle for the ladder, this sword will be awarded to you!"

Chu Yi glanced at it and said, "Master, your reward is too picky!"

Ou Lao said angrily: "Stinky boy, can you have some eyesight? This is a growth spirit weapon!"

Chu Yi was only then upset and asked, "Master, then what level can it grow to?"

Ou Lao said: "It depends on what level your strength can reach!"

Chu Yi couldn't help but swallow his saliva, he knew the value of the spiritual weapon in front of him from Ou Lao's words.

"This sword looks familiar. Chu Yi said, "Master, can I take a closer look?"

The black shadow flickered in front of him, and Ou Lao didn't know where the sword had been received, and said, "Of course, you can take a closer look, and wait until you climb the ladder to the top ten!"
