Hearing Sun Lao's explanation, Long Chen finally had the most intuitive understanding of the mysteries of each level, thought about the height of the test pillar just now, compared his own degree, and asked himself: "The test pillar just now can only measure the high-level monarch level at most?"

Zhu Zicheng glanced at Long Chen, and said on the side: "Isn't this nonsense? In the Xuan Academy, except for those tutors who are high-level monarchs or above, which students can surpass the high-level monarchs? Those who surpassed the middle-level monarch level before the age of twenty were all picked up by the Xuanzong Palace, and the others were all rolled up and went home. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Zicheng said to himself with a sad face: "Hey, you're fine, you're only ten times short of the beginner monarch level, and I'm still ninety-nine years away, and I don't know if I can enter the top twenty next year." ”

Long Chen smiled, and didn't know what to say, so he could only encourage: "Come on, isn't there still a year left?"

Zhu Zicheng nodded and said, "That's right, there's still a year." ”

When I followed Sun Lao around the main hall for about ten minutes, I finally came to the place where the worm students were registered, a very simple and ordinary room, the room was only placed with an old wooden table, and there were rows of bookshelves standing around, and the bookshelves were full of dusty books, and I could see that there was something special, if it weren't for the eight-character delicate metal card inlaid with "Worm Xuan Department No. 1 Enrollment Point" hanging outside the room, Long Chen even wondered if this Sun Lao was a liar.

Sun Lao sat down at the wooden table, took out a newer roster from the booklet stacked on the table, picked up the pen and filled in the blank column "Longchen" and "Zhu Zicheng" after opening it, and then wrote the cross of "Xuanzong Hall Gold Medal Holder Recommendation" on the back remarks, and handed it to Long Chen and Zhu Zicheng after completion, and instructed: "Write your names on the front, and then bite your thumb and press a handprint." ”

When Long Chen and Zhu Zicheng finished according to the instructions, Sun Lao took out two bronze badges from the drawer, and put the two badges in the place where Long Chen and Zhu Zicheng pressed the blood seal, and I don't know what method was used, I saw that the two badges flickered suddenly, and the fingerprints that were originally only printed on the roster were engraved on the flat side of the badge, as if they were carved.

At this time, Sun Lao raised his head and looked at Long Chen and Zhu Zicheng and said: "The tuition fee is fifty gold coins a year, and the accommodation fee is one hundred gold coins a year, a total of one hundred and fifty gold coins, and these money are not paid in vain, you can go and get one hundred one-star square pages, fifty two-star square pages, and ten three-star square pages every month." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zicheng immediately shouted: "Isn't it? Those pages add up to only ten gold coins, and it is only one hundred and twenty a year, and the rented room outside is at most five a year, isn't this a trap for us more than 20 gold coins?"

So many gold coins also frightened Long Chen, not to mention one hundred and fifty, he couldn't get ten pieces on his body now, he originally thought that it wouldn't cost much, but he didn't expect to ask for so much.

Sun Lao replied casually: "If you don't want to receive the Fang page, and you don't want to live in the academy, you can only pay twenty gold coins." ”

"It's pretty much the same, I don't get the page and I don't stay. ”

Zhu Zicheng took out twenty Huang Cancan gold coins from his inner pocket and threw them on the table, turned his head to look at Long Chen and asked, "Long Chen, what about you?"

Long Chen smiled a little embarrassedly and replied, "I don't have enough money." ”

"I didn't have it, and I only had about twenty gold coins left. ”

Zhu Zicheng directly opened the inner pocket and poured out all the bits and pieces of gold and silver coins inside.

Long Chen was not vain, and said directly: "Then lend me twelve, and I will pay you back as soon as possible." ”

"It's okay, you can still do it at any time, besides, with our identity, we are still worried about finding a place to make money?"

Zhu Zicheng counted out twelve gold coins and handed them to Long Chen, and took over the emblem from Sun Lao.

When Long Chen also paid twenty gold coins to get the emblem, Sun Lao said: " You are not the students who were admitted by the Xuanzong Palace, and you are over twelve years old, so the academy will not force you to listen to the tutor's teaching, whether you go or not depends on your own wishes, you only need to go to the Xuanzong Hall of the Insect Xuan Department every seven days to report, and then come to me every month to conduct a Xuanqi volume test, in addition, there are many ingestion fields in the academy, and the fees are different according to the grade of the ingest, and the academy will also hold some activities and competitions regularly, in detail, you can spend some time to understand. ”

Long Chen was silent for a while, and couldn't help but ask, "Old Sun, is there a map of the Xuan Academy?"

"Yes. ”

Sun Lao stood up and walked to the bookshelf to the side, took out two scrolled college maps, put them on the table, spread his hands and said, "Ten silver coins each." ”

Long Chen and Zhu Zicheng glanced at each other, and finally had to take out ten silver coins each to buy two maps, after all, the Lancheng Xuan Academy was too big, if you really had to rely on yourself to find it, it would probably take a day or two to figure it out.

It's just that after walking out of the main hall of the Worm Xuan Academy, Long Chen looked at the very ordinary academy map in his hand, and always felt that it was not worth ten silver coins at all, in fact, it was true, the map of the Lancheng Xuan Academy was only sold for one silver coin outside......

When the figures of Long Chen and Zhu Zicheng gradually melted into the flow of people coming and going on the Academy Avenue, Sun Lao, who was standing at the door of the main hall of the Insect Xuan Department, squinted his eyes and looked at the direction in which Long Chen and Zhu Zicheng disappeared, and asked himself very suspiciously: "One test ended a beat faster, and the other test started a beat slower, is this my delusion old man? Or are two teenage babies really talented enough to control Xuan Qi? I don't know which gold medal holder recommended it, strange thing, really strange thing." ”

Since only twenty gold coins were paid, Long Chen and Zhu Zicheng had to go outside to rent a room, somewhat to Long Chen's surprise, this time Zhu Zicheng did not want to say that he was renting with him, because when he said that he wanted to rent a room near the East Academy of Lancheng, Zhu Zicheng said that he wanted to go to the west of Lancheng, so the two naturally parted ways, but they still made an appointment to meet at the west gate of the Xuan Academy on the morning of the third day.

Long Chen didn't dislike Zhu Zicheng, and to some extent he also felt that it was good to be friends with Zhu Zicheng, but this didn't mean that it would immediately develop to the point of Zhu Zicheng's so-called brother, he knew very well that Zhu Zicheng was not so simple as it seemed, especially Zhu Zicheng had a letter of recommendation similar to him, and his understanding of the Xuan was much higher than him, so naturally there must be some secrets that he didn't want to tell people, so before he really knew the roots, Long Chen still felt that the friendship between gentlemen was as light as water.

"I borrowed ten gold coins from Sang Yue, and now I have borrowed twelve from Zhu Zicheng, I have to find a more hidden house as soon as possible and make some money by making some shops. ”

Long Chen muttered to himself, and at the same time, he was also glad that he was fortunate to have planted Xuan Qi and ingested the condensation of Xuan Cao, otherwise he really wouldn't know what to do in order to make money in this bustling Lan City in a short period of time.

"Hey, do you know? A few days ago, there was a big event, it is said that four powerhouses who are at least at the sect level fought in the Gulanyu Great Snow Mountain at the junction of Nanluo Country and Zilan Country, it seems that one is the Insect Sect, two Beast Sects, and one Bird Sect, all of which are super masters who have been hidden for a long time at the level of old monsters, and as a result, one death and three injuries, the movement is terrifying, and the Gulanyu Great Snow Mountain has been cut off by force, and several snow-capped mountains next to it have been blown up. ”

"Do you just know? Let me tell you, not one dead and three wounded, but two dead and two wounded, and the two who died, one was the deputy sect master of the Beast Sect Hall, and the other was the sect master of the Bird Sect Hall! It seems that there are three ambushes and one ambush, who do you know about the ambush? The old monster that has disappeared for more than 50 years in the two pavilions and three halls!"

"That old monster in the two pavilions and three halls? Xiao Potian, didn't he say that he died early?"

"Old age and death, what are you kidding? Fifty years ago, it was at the sect level, and now it may be a legendary emperor, and it is no problem to live for hundreds of years. ”

"Tsk, emperor, no wonder one against three can kill two......"

Listening to the conversation between the two monarch-level mysteries walking in front, Long Chen's heart set off a storm in his heart, he finally knew what Ye Ruxue's sentence "You will know when you arrive at the Zilan National Xuan Academy" meant, it turned out that that old man actually fought with three sect-level masters in the Gulan Jade Great Snow Mountain, and was the founder of the two pavilions and three halls! Fifty years ago, he reached the sect level and may even enter the emperor-level super powerhouse!

The old man's name is Xiao Potian!
