In the Babylonian Empire, the popular currency was divided into two types: gold and silver, and one gold coin was equal to one thousand silver coins.

The common people generally rely on silver coins, which cost about 100 silver coins a year. However, from the warrior class, it is necessary to spend gold coins, and the higher the rank of warriors, the more gold coins are consumed.

It is rumored that a great martial artist spends at least 100 gold coins on cultivation materials in a year, which is enough for the common people of Babylon to eat and drink for hundreds of years.

Martial artists are notoriously quick at burning money, but they are also notoriously quick at making money.

In the arena, depending on the opponent, you can earn a large amount of currency, and even if you lose, you will be compensated with at least 100 silver coins, and the winner will be rewarded with at least one gold coin.

'Martial arts' can be said to be the most profitable way in Babylon.

The reason why Jasmine chose martial arts in the first step may also be a factor in making money.

However, Mo Tian didn't do that, even if Jasmine made up those words in the end.

He has more important things to do than to make money.

Shuttling through the streets with endless crowds, the sound of various vendors selling in his ears, Mo Tian's figure moved quickly on the street.

"It should be there."

In one of the most sparsely populated places, Mo Tian stopped, his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at an ancient square platform in front of him.

On the platform of this square, there is a stone monument, several meters high, carved with countless intricate carvings, even in the daylight of the faint light.

According to Jasmine's mouth, this ancient monument is called the 'Monument of Distant Ancestors', and it is the origin of the entire Babylonian cultivation.

Every Babylonian would come here from adulthood to open up the bloodline and return to their ancestors through this 'Monument of the Ancestors' and open up the path of cultivation.

It can be said that the 'Monument of the Distant Ancestors' is the key to the power of the bloodline cultivated by the Babylonians.

"It would be great if we could find out the source of this power."

Mo Tian stared at the stone monument on the platform of this square, and thought to himself in his heart.

Although he entered here with the relationship of Jasmine, the relationship between the Babylonian civilization and the new human race is still unclear, if you can understand the source of the Babylonians' power from the root, even if you are an enemy in the future, you can get a lot of opportunities in dealing with it.

Taking precautions is the style of Zhang Xiaopang and Mo Tian.

There are very few here, but this 'few' is only compared to other places, with a population base of tens of millions, this 'sparse' square still has no less than dozens of people.

Most of the people standing on the platform in the square are teenagers, but there are also some young people who are a little older.

These people lined up one by one, took turns to walk up to the highest stone tablet, and placed their palms on the surface of the stone tablet, and suddenly the stone tablet flashed brightly, and then dimmed again.

"Zu Li, a paragraph."

"Next."

The old man standing on the side of the stele, holding a book in his hand, looked at the stele that had just flickered, lowered his head and wrote something down with his notes, and shouted in his mouth.

"Zu Li, five sections, you can enter the Dou Yuan."

Douyuan, the only school in Babylon, requires a certain amount of tuition every year to enter the academy to obtain systematic cultivation guidance. However, due to the extremely high tuition fees, the common class could not afford them.

The only way for civilians to obtain the qualifications to study at the academy is to obtain the approval of the Monument Keeper when they awaken their bloodline.

Once approved by the monument keeper, not only can you enter the school for free, but you can also enjoy the same treatment as other disciples. The carp jumps over the dragon gate, which refers to this.

"Zu Li, a paragraph."

"Zu Li, three sections."

"Next ......"

The repetition process was constantly staged in front of the stele, and the old man who guarded the stele sometimes shook his head, sometimes smiled, and proceeded in an orderly manner.

……

The scorching sun in the sky slowly turned into a sunset, turning into a touch of red glow, dyeing the horizon red.

"Of the fifty-eight awakened, only one is qualified to enter the mansion, and the quality of today's awakened people is a little poor."

Seeing that the day was coming to an end, the old man glanced at the already not very long line behind him, shook his head and sighed.

Fifty-eight into one, this number is rare to see even for a person like him who is responsible for screening students all year round.

"Elder Wang shouldn't lower his standards because he wants to take in more students, right?" On the other side, the middle-aged woman who was also the keeper of the monument smiled and joked to the old man.

"Of course not." The old man touched his beard and smiled. "The enrollment of the university only talks about strength and not people, even if there is only one person, what does it matter, and I won't be blamed."

"Besides......"

As he spoke, the old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Today's enrollment won't end here, the son of a certain big man hasn't come yet."

When the middle-aged woman heard this, her face was shocked, and her voice was slightly low, and she said in surprise. "It can't be Lord Baiyun's child, right? According to rumors, yesterday happened to be the day of his coming of age, and according to custom, today is the day he should come. ”

Bai Yun, one of the eighteen commanders of the Babylon Empire, has a prominent position, second only to the three commanders, and is recognized as the first among the eighteen commanders.

Babylon only values martial arts, and no matter what it is, even if it is the son of the commander, it still needs to be selected here.

It's just that there are no dogs in the door.

The Monument of the Distant Ancestors awakens the power of the bloodline, and this bloodline power will slowly weaken over time, until a strong person appears in a certain generation, and then there will be a sudden blowout.

In a word, the strength of the parents and ancestors can directly improve the talent of the offspring, and the farther apart, the weaker the power of the bloodline. Although there are occasional atavistic phenomena, the probability is negligible.

Therefore, the talent of the son of the commander of everything is basically not too bad.

And the son of Baiyun is naturally considered to be the most promising person to inherit his mother's glory.

"Well, that kid is said to be terrifyingly talented, even if he doesn't have an awakened bloodline, his power is already comparable to that of ordinary martial arts."

The old man smiled and nodded, remembering what he had seen and heard before, and his expression was quite expectant.

Such a student is the one who really satisfies him. If the student recruited before was an appetizer, then the one who had not yet arrived was a delicious and first-class main dish.

"Blessed is Elder Wang, if you can have a good relationship with him, maybe you can still rise to the top...... Ha ha. ”

The woman on the side looked at the old man enviously and smiled. Generally speaking, the monument keeper who is responsible for awakening the bloodline has more opportunities to contact the students than her protector, and if the relationship is good, if the latter gains power in the future, he will always shed a little afterglow.

"Haha...... Look at what you say. Wang Lao stroked his beard and laughed.

Suddenly, there was movement at the end of the crowd.

Three stout and mighty bulls, dragging a luxurious cart, rushed towards this place frantically.

The dust that was blown up almost covered the entire street, filling it with smoke and dust.
