7. Cabinet of Curiosities

"Brother Zhang, I just heard that the academy of Yunhua Immortal City is going to recruit 'City Lord Students', but is it true?"

"It must be true! The notice is posted outside the City Lord's Mansion!"

"I also learned this news from a fellow Taoist. Let's go over and see what it takes to get in!"

"Yunhua Immortal City is one of the seventy-two city-level Dao Cities in our East China Sea, and it is a core member of the Dao City Alliance. Yunhua Academy is one of the best colleges, and after the city lord students it cultivates graduate, they can build their own village-level Dao City and become a city lord of the Dao City Alliance. ”

"Yunhua Immortal Dao City is a real city-level Dao City, unlike our Qinglan Immortal Dao City, it is just a village-level Dao City, and the difference is more than 108,000 miles. ”

"Hehe-hee, if we can become a city lord in the Dao City Alliance, we will be developed!"

"Then let's go over and take a look!"

A number of monks chatted excitedly and hurried towards the City Lord's Mansion.

............ ............ ............

In the living room of the Zhao family's house, Zhao Junyi invited Zhao Kuangqing and Zhao Kuangqing's subordinates Steward Huang, Wu Xuan, and Master Cao to taste the newly purchased spiritual tea together.

"Lord Qiyu, the Martial Immortal Master and Wang Luo ask to see you. ”

The guard warrior outside the living room came in.

"Let them in!"

Zhao Junyi put down the teacup and said.

"Yes!"

The warrior of the guards turned and went out.

"Martial Immortal Master, my lord, please come in. ”

The guards who came out said.

"Thank you!"

Wu Dakui walked in with a smile.

"Thank you!"

Wang Luo was behind Wu Dakui, holding his fists.

When the two entered the living room, they saw everyone drinking tea.

Zhao Junyi looked at the aura on Wang Luo's body, and asked with a pleasant face, "Little brother, when did you break through the first layer of qi refining?"

"The fifteenth prince, he just broke through. ”

Wu Dakui hurriedly said.

"Qiqi fifteenth prince, Brother Wu is right!"

Wang Luo replied respectfully.

"Hmm!" Zhao Junyi frowned, he didn't like Wu Dakui's big talker, and he didn't want to talk about him.

At this moment, a red light flew in from the mansion and came to Zhao Junyi, Zhao Junyi immediately pointed with his hand, and a green light bounced into the red light, and the red light "boomed" into several feet, and a loud sound came out.

"Zhao Daoyou, the City Lord's Mansion posted that the Yunhua Academy of Yunhua Immortal Dao City is going to recruit students, come and take a look!"

As soon as the sound ended, the red light disappeared into the air on its own.

"Good news! Yunhua Academy in Yunhua Immortal Dao City actually wants to recruit students. Xiaoqing, let's take a look, maybe you also have the opportunity to become a student of Yunhua Academy. ”

Zhao Junyi stood up in surprise and walked out without saying anything.

"Hmm!" Zhao Kuangqing happily followed.

Steward Huang, Wu Xuan, Master Cao, Wu Dakui and Wang Luo followed.

Next to the bulletin board at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion in the center of Qinglan Immortal Dao City, there were many monks gathered to watch the excitement.

A large notice is posted on the bulletin board.

"Yunhua Immortal Dao City Yunhua Academy announced: Because the demonic beasts broke through the Dao cities on many islands, the monks of the island forces were slaughtered, and my Yunhua Academy recruited monks to be the city lord students and auxiliary students on the same day. The deadline for entries is until the middle of next month.

The requirements are as follows: must be a Qi cultivation monk, under the age of forty, the qualifications can be unlimited, and the number of people is not limited. The registration fee for the city lord students is 2,000 lower grade spirit stones, and the registration fee for the auxiliary students is 500 lower grade spirit stones. Auxiliary students cannot build Dao City by themselves, but can only follow and assist the City Master students. The huge amount of money spent by the city lord students in the academy will be borne by themselves, and those who do not have sufficient economic conditions should not sign up. After graduating after one year of study in Yunhua Immortal Academy, in this graduation assessment, the top ten city lord students will be awarded the official city lord qualification by the Dao City Alliance, and will be rewarded with a city lord token and a village-level Dao City design drawing, and will build a village-level Immortal Dao City by themselves and become a village-level city lord of the Dao City Alliance. ”

The bustling monks were discussing the notices.

The spirit stone is not only the currency of the immortal cultivation world, but also the cultivation resources of the monks, divided into four levels: lower grade, middle grade, upper grade and best grade, and the exchange of each level is one hundred, such as one hundred lower-grade spirit stones for a medium-grade spirit stone, one hundred medium-grade spirit stones for a high-grade spirit stone and so on.

"The registration fee for the City Lord Trainee actually costs two thousand spirit stones, how many Qi Refining Period Scattered Cultivators can get it!"

"Yes, charging such a high fee, I don't think it wants to cultivate the city lord at all, and it is using this guise to earn a lot of spirit stones!"

"That's it, I've worked hard to set up a stall in Qinglan Immortal Dao City for a year, and I have only earned fifty lower grade spirit stones. I didn't have decades of saving, and I didn't even have an entry fee!"

"Even the assistant students need 500 low-grade spirit stones to sign up, and they have to work hard for five or six years to earn it. ”

Several plainly dressed monks were dissatisfied.

"Alas, can a monk who can't afford the high cost do it? Building a Dao City requires huge manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and those who meet these conditions are basically the children of the family, how can we have such capital for casual cultivation!"

A shabby-dressed monk next to him laughed at himself.

"Yes, there are a few city lords of Dao City who are loose cultivators!"

Another plainly dressed monk sighed.

"Spending two thousand lower grade spirit stones to become the city lord's own village-level immortal dao city, I think it's worth it. ”

A gorgeously dressed middle-aged monk said.

"How can it be so simple! There are so many city lord students, only the city lord students with excellent grades in the graduation assessment can build their own Dao City and become the city lord!"

A young man in Confucian clothes smiled slightly.

"What do you think, why don't you speak out and share it with everyone!"

The richly dressed middle-aged monk said eagerly.

"Don't dare! Don't dare! I just think that it is better to report to the city lord student than to apply for an assistant student, as long as you follow an excellent city lord, you will also have a chance to become a member of the top monks in the future! Besides, the chance of becoming a city lord is far less than the chance of becoming an assistant student to find an excellent city lord!"

The young man in Confucian clothes said modestly.

"Thank you for your advice!"

The gorgeously dressed middle-aged man thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

"Daoyou is right!"

"It's worth reporting the five hundred spirit stone flowers of the auxiliary students!"

"I have accumulated a little spirit stone, and I also want to go to the academy to serve a city lord and have a better future!"

............

The surrounding monks coaxed.

Not far from the crowd.

"Yunhua Academy's recruitment of City Lord students is an opportunity for our Zhao family to rise. Xiaoqing, you go home first, and I'll discuss with a few of your uncles and arrange for you to sign up. ”

Zhao Junyi glanced at the bulletin board and said excitedly.

"Really?"

Zhao Kuangqing was ecstatic, but he beat the drum a little: "Two thousand spirit stones are too much, will the uncles disagree?"

"My Zhao clan already has many monks, but I have not been able to develop and grow. If you want to become a family of immortal cultivators, it is imperative to build your own city. Your qualifications are the best among the younger generation of my Zhao family, and if you really want to be sent to study in the academy, only you are the most suitable. Don't worry, I'll convince them!"

Zhao Junyi's mind was no longer on the notice, and he thought about it deeply.

The Zhao clan of the Zhao royal family in the Kyushu Continent, of course, there is not only one young generation in Zhao Kuangqing, this huge royal family, there are no less than ten monks in the East China Sea alone.

Of course, in the various cities of the East China Sea, the Zhao family is not even a cultivator family.

The real immortal cultivators are either dominated by the city lord monks, or they are a subsidiary force under the city lord.

To be able to become a city lord is naturally the best choice.

A slightly self-motivated monk will not have no choice, and will strive to become the lord of the city.

It's just that it is difficult to become a city lord and there are few opportunities, and it is difficult for one of the thousands of monks to stand out.

"Xiaoqing, you have good qualifications, you are ambitious, and what is even more rare is that you are enterprising. While you are still young, let it go! You are different from us, we have been in the East China Sea for decades, and our lives have been ordinary like this. I believe that your future achievements will definitely lead us to higher levels. The hopes of my Zhao family are on your shoulders, I will do my best to support you, if you enter the top ten of the academy when you graduate, become a city lord in the Dao City Alliance, and establish a Dao city belonging to my Zhao family, you will be a great hero of my Zhao family, and the descendants of the Zhao family will be proud of you. Don't disappoint the fifteenth uncle!"

Zhao Junyi looked at Zhao Kuangqing, his eyes full of expectation.

"Xie fifteen uncles cultivate, nephew must strive to become a city lord in the Dao City Alliance, and establish the Zhao Clan's Immortal Dao City! If I become a city lord in the future, I will never forget the cultivation grace of my uncles. ”

Zhao Kuangqing said excitedly.

"Well, I'll go and discuss with your uncles now, and you can go back to your residence by yourself!"

Zhao Junyi left after telling him.

"Yes, fifteen uncles, you go slowly!"

Zhao Kuangqing sent Zhao Junyi away.

"Congratulations to the young master!"

"Congratulations to the little prince!"

As soon as Zhao Junyi left, Steward Huang, Wu Xuan, Master Cao and others immediately came up to congratulate him.

"Haha, I, Zhao Kuangqing, am simply fortunate to have become a monk in three lifetimes, and I even have the opportunity to fight for the position of the city lord! You are all my henchmen, when I build the Dao City, we will enjoy the immortal blessings together!"

Zhao Kuangqing was in high spirits for a while.
