(Happy New Year! I guess you didn't sleep at all, did you have fun last night? In the new year, Thor's wish is to sign a contract! On the shelves, on the shelves, on the shelves, on the shelves, what about you, is it a secret?)

After a moment of silence, Lu Beichen said, "Are you sure we're going to stand here and talk for a long time?"

Shang Lu was slightly stunned, and saw that the crowd around him was getting more and more crowded, so he said, "Okay, Young Master Ben is in a good mood today, let's go, I invite you to have morning tea, how about chatting while drinking?"

Lu Beichen wanted to say something, but before he could express his position, Shang Lu grabbed Lu Beichen's shoulder and walked in the direction of Guangzhilou.

It's noon, and there are as many people as ever in Guangzhilou, which is perfect to describe it as full of people.

The shopkeeper seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, and he couldn't stop smiling on his face.

Shang Lu said with a smile, "Look at that shopkeeper, you see people coming and going, you are so happy." This is because recently, more and more foreign disciples have come to the Holy Capital. Shengdu is very lively this year, but it also means that we have more and more competitors. ”

Lu Beichen smiled slightly, feeling that it was really much more kind to step here again today.

Those girls had the same smile on their faces, busily receiving every guest, and the shopkeeper Zhang was also working hard at the front desk, and the sound of the abacus was quite rhythmic.

Ten dishes, eight meats, and a pot of wine filled the enthusiasm of the youth.

Lu Beichen looked at this formation and said, "Really so much?"

"Of course, I'm your first friend when you came to the Holy Capital, and it's also my first time to entertain you, how can you not be grand!" Shang Lu said excitedly, "Of course, if you are impressed by me and want to give me that stone, I will definitely agree with it." ”

Lu Beichen shook his head and said, "I still can't give it to you, but I still admire you." ”

"Just kidding. Shang Lu said, "I just like to collect these, but all transactions should be based on your willingness, otherwise there will be no point." ”

After thinking for a moment, Lu Beichen said seriously, "It makes sense." ”

At the first glance of this young man that day, Lu Beichen felt that he was a little familiar, and he actually called the stranger a kid directly. Although it feels inappropriate, it seems to be very reasonable to put it on him, and even this reasonableness makes people feel a little cute.

Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but show a hint of appreciation.

Shang Lu only cared about the dishes that had been arranged, and naturally he didn't care about what Lu Beichen was thinking, until all the dishes had been arranged, he raised his head and asked, "You just said that you are also going to take the national examination?"

"Well, what about you?" Lu Beichen said.

"Since I was a child, I wasn't interested in those herbs or herbs at all, so my father sent me to the Great Martial Arts Pavilion to practice the Great Avenue. The national examination in the holy capital is for the fifteenth year old, and only the teenagers and girls who are not under the weak crown can participate, and I made excuses not to participate in it last year, and I can't escape this year. ”

Shang Lu said as he spoke, suddenly leaned into Lu Beichen's ear, and said softly, "But it is really meaningful to participate this year, I heard that the disciples who enter the national list will have the priority to have the opportunity to participate in a large-scale secret event, so there is a limit to the number of places to participate in this national examination." ”

"Large-scale secret activities?" Lu Beichen stopped his chopsticks and asked.

"Well, that's right. Shang Lu said seriously, "If there is no quota, then there is no chance to participate in the national examination." ”

"Isn't this very fair, wouldn't it be a pity if you miss out on some really good cultivators because of this?" Lu Beichen said, "The significance of the national examination is not only to select talents, but also to train the minds of the whole teenagers. Just imagine, if you completely lose the opportunity to participate in the national examination because of a momentary mistake, what a pity......"

"Should I say you're too naïve or too pretentious?" Shang Lu said, "The Holy Capital has the rules of the Holy Capital, and the Terrans also have the rules of the Terran Race. After being recommended by a famous family, giving priority to those famous disciples is the fastest and most effective way to harvest talents. ”

"I really don't understand. Lu Beichen shook his head, a little helpless, and said, "What's that secret?"

Shang Lu wanted to speak, but the dish had already been handed over, but when the words came to his mouth, he had completely forgotten about it, leaving only the kind of vision for food.

Lu Beichen saw that he didn't answer and continued to ask, "Actually, what kind of exam is the national exam, and how can you get on the national list?"

"You don't know anything, do you?" Shang Lu said in surprise.

"Isn't it weird?" Lu Beichen asked.

Strange of course.

Whether it is a person who has lived in the holy capital for a long time or a person who has only recently come to the holy capital, almost all of them come for the national examination. Therefore, Lu Beichen's coming to participate in the national examination is naturally not something to be amazed, but a person who comes to participate in the national examination has no idea about the specific details of the national examination, which is a bit strange to say.

It's just that for Shang Lu, strange means interesting, and from the first time he saw Lu Beichen, he felt that he had too many strange things, so he was not too surprised at this time, but explained it in a more strange tone in which the seniors spoke to the juniors.

"The national exam, an exam specially set up by the human race for cultivators. Although most of the participants are Terran disciples, there are also disciples of the Spirit Race and the Demon Race who come to participate, intending to learn, after all, in this regard, the Spirit Race is inferior to the organizational ability of the Human Race, and the Demon Race is not as good as the layout ability of the Human Race.

"The annual national examination has a very complete system. This is the fairest, most formal, and largest of all monastic examinations. It is divided into several processes, starting with the literary examination and then the martial examination. If you rank in the top 100 points accumulated through the civil and military test, you can participate in the final comprehensive test, and the top 30 disciples in the comprehensive test can be on the list. ”

"These thirty disciples are all between fifteen and twenty years old. Because some of the old-timers in the Holy Palace believe that teenagers of this age are the future of the human race, and the level of this age group also determines the status of the human race in the world in the future. ”

"These thirty disciples can be said to be the best in the human world, the elite of the elite, so when the national list is officially announced, they can directly get the orthodox guidance of the Holy Capital from all over the world. ”

"I see. Lu Beichen listened carefully, and when he heard some important points, he would make Shang Lu stop.

"The national list means that thirty of the best disciples have been selected in this Terran world?"

"Can these thirty disciples get the guidance of the Holy Capital from all over the world?"

Lu Beichen has always felt that it is not easy to be qualified to enter the national examination, how dare he set his goal to the top 30 in the human world?

Is it possible?

I don't think anyone would say it was possible.

What kind of place is the Holy Capital? This is a place where the elite of the cultivators gather, and after the precipitation of history, the descendants of the elite have also gathered. In the world of countless cultivation geniuses, how can a young man who has just found the key to open the door to the path of cultivation come out of his light here?

Even if he had, he would be just a new star in the sky, perhaps just for a moment, and he would be lost in a brighter light.

The stars are good at hiding, hiding secrets, dreams, and many romantic, delicate and pure things.

However, the sun is dazzling enough.

He wasn't the sun after all, just a star that was hard to see.

As for getting orthodox advice, this is a good reward for Lu Beichen.

Lu Beichen asked, "Who are the four lakes and seas in the Holy Capital?"
