After listening to Zhang Juzheng's recommendation, Jiajing recalled for a moment that Li Chunfang is usually quite sleek and sophisticated, and he will not be able to get out of his head if he can do everything.

Since Jiajing was promoted to the first in the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, he was appointed to the Hanlin Academy, and was later selected to enter the West Garden, writing green words for the predecessor, which was quite appreciated, and then was exceptionally promoted to the Hanlin Bachelor, and is now the position of Taichang Shaoqing.

"How did I forget this man!" Jiajing thought so, and looked at Zhang Juzheng with a hint of praise in his eyes.

"Well, this candidate is not bad, your cabinet will report it, and the chief examiner of this imperial examination will be Li Chunfang!"

"With Zhuang Yuanlang as the chief examiner, it must also be able to inspire my Ming scholars."

Jiajing said, and then added.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

……

After the cabinet meeting, Jiajing returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall, sat cross-legged on the futon, and began to operate the exercises and practice.

With the purple qi around his body, Jiajing entered a mysterious and mysterious realm, and in a trance, he came to a secret realm.

And this time, instead of the dragon from last time, a cave appeared in the secret realm, more like a cemetery.

In the cave, there is a thin corpse in a Taoist robe sitting cross-legged, and there are no traces of mosquitoes around the corpse, so the corpse is relatively intact.

Jiajing entered it and didn't find anything abnormal, but then when he wanted to get close to the corpse, an inexplicable feeling lingered in his heart, if he took another step, something very terrible would happen.

Jiajing stopped and looked around carefully, only to see that between the rock walls of the cave, there was a faint light, and these lights from point to line, from line to surface, together formed an extremely mysterious formation.

At this time, Jiajing could feel that the mana in his body was slowly growing and becoming active at the same time.

"Is this a Spirit Gathering Array?" Jiajing recalled the immortal cultivation novels he had read in his previous life, and couldn't help but put forward such a conjecture.

Jiajing then turned his gaze to the corpse sitting cross-legged in the formation, he couldn't really see it when he was far away before, but now he looked closer, but it gave Jiajing a creepy feeling.

I saw that the hands and feet of the corpse were all twisted and deformed, and they were in a strange posture, and at the same time, his face that was not completely decomposed still had a panicked look before death, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

Seeing this, Jiajing secretly raised his vigilance, and at the same time used his mana, and pinched the thunder to prevent what might happen next.

Perhaps sensing the fluctuation of mana, the formation that had previously surrounded the corpse began to operate automatically, sending several attacks towards Jiajing.

Perhaps because the formation was arranged for too long, and there was no mana instilled into it, the power was greatly reduced, and Jiajing just dodged a few times and dodged over.

"Hmph, thirty-six thunder places, seventy-two yin passes, the beginning of the total fortune, turn Qi into thunder, thunder!"

Jiajing recited the mantra while mobilizing the mana in his body, and in an instant, several thumb-wide thunderbolts emerged, slashing straight towards the formation.

Attacked by this, the light of the formation dimmed by more than half, Jiajing saw that the thunder method was effective, and then mobilized the mana in his body, and several thunderbolts slashed towards the formation.

"Boom!" The formation could no longer withstand such an attack of such intensity, and it was completely destroyed.

Jiajing hurriedly stepped forward to check the condition of the corpse, and when he saw that the corpse was not damaged, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, I didn't break the corpse." ”

Immediately afterwards, a sense of prostration came from all over the body, most of the mana accumulated in the body was consumed, and there was no means to quickly recover the mana, Jiajing had to rest on the rock wall on the side, hoping to recover some physical strength.

When he was almost resting, Jiajing slowly came to the corpse, his right hand was still pinching Lei Duel, and instilling mana into it, if there was something wrong, he could also protect his own safety.

"Offended." Seeing that there was no danger and that the corpse could no longer die, Jiajing let down his vigilance and began to grope around the corpse.

Soon, a bag caught Jiajing's attention.

"It's... Storage bags? Jiajing carefully took off the bag and instilled his mana into it, because the original owner was dead, the soul mark left by it was easily erased by Jiajing, and after the soul mark was broken, Jiajing took out the contents of the bag.

A dozen stones that exuded aura, a few books, and a few elixirs that could not be named, as well as the diary left by the owner of the storage bag.

Jiajing didn't care about anything else, but picked up the diary and read it.

"Since I was a child, the master told me that there are immortals in the world, he often said that the way to cultivate immortals, pay attention to a fateful word, and the fate will become immortal, I asked the master what is the fate, he smiled and did not answer."

"The master died, died in the Qingxu Guan, he looked terrible when he died, his limbs were twisted, and his death was terrifying, as if he saw something terrible, I don't know what happened to him, and after he was solemnly buried, he left the Qingxu Guan that he grew up in."

"I traveled the world, trying in vain to find the fate that the master said, but even if I walked through thousands of mountains and rivers, it was still difficult to find traces of immortals, is the master lying to me? Helplessly, I returned to Qingxuguan. ”

"Later, I picked up an abandoned baby and taught him carefully, and I was very happy to watch him grow up day by day, and I also taught him the same way the master taught me, and passed on everything about Qingxuguan to him."

And one day, he asked a question I had asked before: "Master, do immortals really exist?" ”

I smiled and explained to him: "On the way to cultivating immortals, pay attention to a fateful word, and if you reach it, you will become immortal." ”

"So what is fate? He asked. ”

I smiled and was about to answer, when I suddenly realized something......

"Hahaha, I've become, I've become an immortal cultivator! The master didn't lie, the master didn't lie! ”

……

"It's fake, it's all fake, nothing...... I'm going to die, too. ”

This is the end of the diary, and the rest of the handwriting is no longer legible.

After Jiajing finished reading the diary, he was silent, then sighed and said softly: "Thank you for your advice." ”

After Jiajing said that, he used his mana to dig a hole in the cave and solemnly put the body into it.

After the body was buried, Jiajing began to count his harvest this time, more than a dozen spirit stones, some scattered pills, Jiajing also roughly looked through the books, and found that the above were books about the formation, but the content was too obscure, plus I didn't know the words on it, Jiajing took a cursory look at it, and then put it in the storage bag.

Immediately after Jiajing walked out of the cave, he found that everything behind him began to gradually collapse, disillusioned, and in a trance, Jiajing returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The moment Jiajing woke up, he hurriedly touched the storage bag on his waist, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he found that the storage bag was still there.

"It seems that everything I have experienced before is real, and I don't know what will happen if I fall in the illusion?" Jiajing thought for a moment, and quickly put this question behind him and stopped thinking about it.

Jiajing took out the formation cheats in the storage bag and began to try to study it, he was going to make the most of the dozen or so spirit stones in it, if he could restore a spirit gathering array, it would be of great benefit to his cultivation speed.
