Tianhuo saw Li Cheng's seriousness, and naturally knew that this matter involved Li Cheng's own safety, since he was willing to tell himself such a secret, he had absolute trust in himself, so Tianhuo simply swore a heavy oath to promise never to divulge this secret.

Li Cheng said at this time: "In fact, as long as you know the principles and process of selecting officials in the imperial court, this matter is not very difficult to operate, but it is a little troublesome."

First, before anyone becomes an official official of the imperial court, the Daolu Division will definitely send a commissioner with equipment to check whether you are a monk and how much you have cultivated? If the official has not cultivated before this, the original records of the Daolu Division will naturally have a record that you are an ordinary mortal;

Second, there is also a need for a secret method to conceal one's own cultivation, and the follow-up Daolu Division will not conduct continuous monitoring of ordinary officials, but there is also a very small probability of a raid, but such a raid does not bring equipment, and is mainly based on secret visual observation, as long as you are careful enough not to let them find out that you are a monk, there will be no further in-depth investigation, and you can pass the test smoothly.

As long as these two points are achieved, the monk can also be an official, but at most he can only be an official, otherwise it will lead to suspicion, and the monk himself must adjust his appearance and characteristics according to the aging speed of mortals, so as to ensure that he is not seen through by others.

Therefore, it is by no means an easy and pleasant thing for a monk to become an official, so very few monks are willing to really go to the court to become an official, at most only for a few years, and after enjoying the power and wealth of the lower world, they quietly go into hiding. ”

Tianhuo asked with blazing eyes: "Then why is Uncle Shi willing to be an official, and you plan to continue to do it depending on the situation?"

Li Cheng smiled and said, "I didn't expect my nephew to be so interested in my past?"

Tianhuo blushed and said, "Uncle Li, it's the little nephew who is abrupt, and I hope Uncle Shi won't be angry." ”

Li Cheng said: "I won't be angry about this little thing, and it doesn't hurt to tell you, it's just a story of a teenager who knows how to repay his kindness." ”

Tianhuo said: "Uncle Li's benefactor should not be the Nineteenth Prince!"

Li Cheng was surprised and asked, "Why do you think so?

Tianhuo said: "I judged based on what Uncle Shi said just now, if the Nineteenth Prince was Uncle Shi's benefactor, Uncle Shi would say it directly, but what Uncle Shi said was a story, and most likely the person who gave grace back then was not the Nineteenth Prince."

But Uncle Shi's benefactor asked you to return all the favors you owe him to the Nineteenth Prince, and you will enter the court as an official, right?"

Li Cheng's eyes flickered a few times, and he said with a wry smile: "Nephew, I finally know what it means to be wise and close to a demon now, just to describe a wise man like you, right? ”

Tianhuo said: "Well, now the little nephew will know, and he won't ask any more, Uncle Li Shi can rest assured." ”

Li Cheng said: "You are so wise, and you will think about others, you are a very rare child." ”

Tianhuo said: "Hehe, Uncle Shi praised me so much that I was embarrassed. ”

Li Cheng said: "Okay, then I won't praise you, my nephew went to Jinling Mansion Taiyi Academy to report this time, are you going to go in the form of travel?"

Tianhuo nodded and said, "Does Uncle Shi think my decision is feasible?"

Li Cheng said: "Traveling thousands of miles to read thousands of books has been a good way to learn and cultivate since ancient times, and it can be used in almost all academic fields and learning stages.

Cultivating the truth, there was originally no law, but it was the great sages who realized the changes in nature that created various cultivation methods, and then continued to improve to form the current cultivation system.

It's just that the current monks no longer have the courage to forge ahead and bring forth the new, so they all practice with the Dharma, and if the nephew can improve the existing Dharma through understanding, even if it is just a small change, it can be compared to the former sages. ”

Tianhuo shook his head and said: "Uncle Li Shi, I didn't think about it that much, I just wanted to see more and see the world more clearly, only by mastering the essence of the world can I go with the sky and become a real powerhouse." ”

Li Cheng said: "Then I wish the virtuous nephew in advance that he can achieve his wish as soon as possible." ”

Tianhuo hurriedly said, "Thank you, Uncle Shi." Uncle Shi, your appointment has been down, are you going to rush to Jinling Mansion to take up your post in the near future?"

Li Cheng said: "Well, I will leave in a few days, and I will be able to reach Jinling Mansion in about two months." ”

Tianhuo asked in surprise: "How did Uncle Shi rush to Jinling Mansion, Xuanwei is a long distance away from Jinling, and you can't reveal your identity as a monk, it will take more than a year to travel normally, right?"

Li Cheng said: "The imperial court has a special royal riding cloud floating car, which can travel thousands of miles a day, and is specially used for the transfer of officials above the fifth grade. ”

Tianhuo said enviously: "It seems that the imperial court is still powerful, and this convenient mode of transportation can only be used by officials, and ordinary people are definitely not qualified to enjoy it." ”

Li Cheng said: "Once you enter the eunuch gate, it is as deep as the sea, and there is nothing to envy. If it weren't for the kindness I had to reciprocate, I would rather be a leisurely monk, why bother so much!

Since my nephew is going to travel all the way, he must arrive at Jinling Mansion later than me, and when you arrive at Jinling Mansion, you must come to visit me. ”

Tianhuo hurriedly said: "In the future, when I go to Jinling, I will inevitably have to be disturbed by my uncle's mansion, and I will ask Uncle Shi to give me advice when the time comes." ”

Li Cheng said: "I don't have a mansion yet, I can only arrange it when I go to Jinling Mansion, so I don't have an accurate address for you, and when you go to the Nineteenth Prince's Mansion or Zhan Shifu, you will know my whereabouts." ”

Tianhuo said, "Well, then we'll see you in Jinling." ”

At this time, the housekeeper in the house came to report that the meal had been prepared, and Li Cheng hurriedly asked the food to be served for the banquet.

Because the matters that should be communicated and the secrets that should be said have been said, the meal is very pleasant.

......

Heavenly Demon Forest, Xuanyuan Tomb.

Recently, the cultivation atmosphere of Xuanyuan Tomb has been extremely hot, and Xuanyuan Tomb has exchanged all the rewards of the New Year's Day competition, and issued suitable pills and exercises to disciples at all levels.

This made all the Xuanyuan Tomb disciples see the determination of Xuanyuan Tomb Zhongxing, and naturally everyone put all their energy into cultivation, coupled with the fact that the cloud-chasing competition became more and more popular and frequent, so that the actual combat skills of the monks of Xuanyuan Tomb improved rapidly.

The effect of this is very obvious, and in just a few months, a large number of disciples of the Demon Pill Stage and the Golden Pill Stage have completed the breakthrough in promotion, allowing Xuanyuan Tomb's strength to improve rapidly.

These beneficial changes fell in the eyes of the Ancestor and the Elder Group, and they were naturally very happy, just taking advantage of the time period of the Demon Clan's Elite Top 100 Tournament to make Xuanyuan Tomb a turnaround, which was a situation that everyone wanted to see.

And the five Xuanyuan Tomb seed disciples who participated in the Demon Clan's Top 100 Tournament have disappeared from everyone's sight for more than two months, and no one knows where they went to cultivate, only that they were personally organized by the ancestors to go to the Xuanyuan Tomb for training, ready to prepare for the Demon Clan's Top 100 Battle!

In fact, the five seeds of Xuanyuan Tomb did not leave Xuanyuan Tomb, but they were transferred from Xuanyuan Tomb to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum to cultivate.

Relying on the help of the Dragon Soul Bell and the main altar, the Seven Ancestors specially opened a secret realm for the five seed players, which was specially used for the cultivation of the five people.

Because except for Hu Chunqiu, the other four contestants all took the past Evil Pill, so Hu Chunqiu was personally taught by the oldest elder of the Fox Clan, and there was a set of exercises specifically for his speed talent.

And the other four people, under the personal guidance of the second ancestor of the fox clan, learned the Terran exercises left by the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, this set of exercises has not been unsealed for tens of thousands of years, and this time they finally found a truly suitable cultivator.

Tu Shanchong and the other four are all extremely talented demon clan cultivators, and after taking the Removal Pill, after the meridians in the body have changed, they can double cultivate their own clan exercises and Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor's human race exercises at the same time.

Because of the previous cultivation as a foundation, although the cultivation principles of the demon clan exercises and the human race exercises are very different, there are still a lot of things that can be used for reference, so the four of them have cultivated the human race exercises, and they have all gone relatively smoothly, and they have not encountered too many obstacles in the early stage.

Tu Shanchong slowed down all the way to the Jindan stage, while Ah Li and the other three slowed down after the foundation building period, and the speed of realm ascension was similar to the speed of normal cultivation.

This surprised the ancestors, the ancient books of Xuanyuan Tomb did not describe the effect of the defilement pill in detail, everyone guessed that its effect was in use, I thought that after taking the defilement pill and cultivating the exercises of the human race, it would progress by leaps and bounds, but I didn't expect to encounter such a bottleneck now.

The ancestors had to ask the four of them to stop first and practice their own clan's exercises first, and the ancestors summoned the members of the elder group to go to the starry night to check all kinds of information, trying to find a way to break the situation.

The realms of Tu Shanchong, Ji Yun'er, Yuguan and the others have reached the peak of the Yuan Infant Stage and the peak of the Jindan Period, and in addition to recultivating and consolidating the exercises, they dare not work hard to cultivate, otherwise there will be the possibility of breaking through the realm.

Therefore, they are more interested in studying tactics and secret techniques, through which they can greatly improve their combat power, and they have no worries about breaking through the realm.

Of course, using the Dafa of Cultivating Spirits on one's own spiritual weapon every day is also a compulsory lesson, after all, even if it is a spiritual weapon that only has a puppet, the strength it exerts in battle can far exceed that of ordinary spiritual weapons.

But Ah Li is different from Ji Yun'er, because she has just reached the high level of the Jindan stage, and there are two small realms of consummation and peak that can be broken through, so she is even more unscrupulous in her cultivation, and with the exercises of the soul of the silver soul, she is advancing by leaps and bounds every day.

Ah Li's diligence and hard work, coupled with the power of the bloodline and the several effects of the Removal Pill, actually caught up with Ji Yun'er and Yuguan's cultivation realm at the end of summer.

Ah Li not only caught up with them in the realm of cultivation, but also fought with the two of them in terms of combat power, and the daily battles were between five and five.

The rise of Ah Li greatly stimulated Ji Yun'er and Yuguan, both of them were young Tianjiao of the same generation, and it would be a shame if they were overtaken, and the two of them also worked harder.

Everyone is working hard for the Demon Clan's Top 100 Elite Competition, hoping that they can achieve a good ranking and get enough points and resources for Xuanyuan Tomb.

And Ah Li has a bigger goal, which is to win the championship of the top 100 demon clans in the Jindan period, if she wants to get out of the Xuanyuan Tomb, she must get a place to study in Taiyi Academy, and she wants to go to the Jinling Mansion of the Terran Song Kingdom.

Because someone has already obtained a place to study at Taiyi Academy.
