A few days ago, Father Chen intended to let Chu Chen study for the imperial examination.
Chu Chen refused without even thinking.
After finally getting rid of the hardships of exam-oriented education and happily cultivating immortality, what exam should I take?
However, nothing lasts forever.
Chu Chen once again relived his time preparing for the exam.
Holding Taoist scriptures in hand every day and studying hard is called diligence.
The Taoist temple recruits disciples once a year, but there is no rigid limit on the time for Taoist temple disciples to be admitted to the hospital for practice.
Some people study in Taoist monasteries and graduate within a few months, while others study in Taoist monasteries for several years.
It all depends on personal choice.
Graduating from a Taoist academy is not difficult. In addition to daily assessments such as going to the mountains to experience and practicing morning and evening homework, there are only two hard targets.
One is to pass the Taoism Monument assessment, and the other is to pass the Taoism exam.
Chu Chen passed the Taoist Monument test.
As long as he passes the Taoist examination of the Taoist academy, he will meet the conditions for graduation from the Taoist academy.
The Taoist academy examinations are not too difficult. The monks who can enter the Taoist academy are all top leaders from all over the world. As long as they have a correct mind and work hard, most of them can successfully graduate from the Taoist academy in a few months.
The reason why some Taoist disciples study in the Taoist academy for one or two years actually involves an unspoken rule.
The purpose of establishing the Taoist Academy is to train young Taoist monks.
Most of those who graduate from Taoist colleges will be promoted and appointed as appropriate.
Some Taoist disciples have improved a lot in their Taoist practice after being admitted to the hospital for a period of practice. It is natural for them to be promoted to an official position, which is much easier than accumulating merit and deeds outside.
Who wouldn't be tempted when a shortcut is placed in front of them?
If the Taoist practice fails to improve, which Taoist disciple would be willing to graduate and waste an opportunity for promotion.
Chu Chen had no worries in this regard.
When he entered the Taoist Academy, he was in the ninth level of Taoist practice, and now he was promoted to the eighth level of Taoism, enlightening the Eye Yuanjun among the "Five Features Yuanjun".
A few days ago, after devouring and refining the great demon Yuan Qi, he practiced [Vajra Spiritual Power Sword Technique], [Hunyuan Form Refining] and other cultivation methods every day, and his cultivation level increased greatly again.
Er Yuanjun has a faint tendency to change, and his cultivation is extremely rapid.
There is no need to worry about insufficient improvement in Taoist practice.
For several days in a row, Chu Chen reviewed the Taoist scriptures every day.
During the day, he listened to the lecturer's explanations at the Taoist temple, and at night, his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, gave personal guidance. He was so busy that Chu Chen felt like he was dreaming back to his previous life.
Fortunately, half a month passed before I knew it.
In addition to reviewing Taoist scriptures and learning Taoist knowledge, Chu Chen enlightened "Er Yuanjun" into a Yuanling, and the magic power in his body increased greatly.
...
"Brother Chu, wait for me."
At the gate of the Taoist temple, Chu Chen met Wang Ping and was a little surprised.
Wang Ping is an eighth-level Taoist. After refining the demon cocoon essence and pure Yuan Qi, his cultivation at the eighth-level Taoist stage is complete, and he has the opportunity to hit the seventh-level Taoist stage.
Under normal circumstances, it is definitely best to break through the seventh level of Taoism and then graduate.
Once you graduate, you will be a seventh-grade immortal official, which can save you a lot of time. It is an opportunity that many people dream of.
"You're not going to work hard anymore?"
Chu Chen looked Wang Ping up and down and asked with concern.
Chu Chen thinks Wang Ping is a good friend and is worth dating.
A few days ago, after he sent incense to the scholar, Wang Ping also approached the scholar and gave him the incense of immortality. His rhetoric was similar to that of Chu Chen.
When the scholar talked to Chu Chen afterwards, he was really helpless and happy.
Wang Ping shook his head and sighed:
"If I don't work hard, I won't be able to see Ningxiang and everyone at all on weekdays. The idea that people near the water and the towers get the moon first is all fucking nonsense!"
Chu Chen was speechless in his heart, it was all about the same thing, and it was all wrong.
"What are you guys doing, Ningxiang? I'm talking about Dao Xing. Why don't you try your luck at level 7 Dao Xing before you graduate?"
"Oh~" Wang Ping coughed with emotion and said with a smile:
"No, breaking through to the seventh level of Taoism requires a chance. I can't rush it. To say the least, promotion to the immortal position is not important to me."
Chu Chen understood the underlying meaning of Wang Ping's words.
For ordinary monks, it is not easy to be promoted to the immortal position, and the opportunity is rare. It requires killing countless comrades to win.
Wang Ping came from an extraordinary family, and joined a famous sect.
As long as his Taoism and cultivation are improved, wherever he wants to work and what position he holds is as unworthy of mention as drinking water.
For Wang Ping, the most important thing is whether he has the ability to secure his position.
It has to be said that the world is inherently unfair.
What some people have from birth is something that many people cannot catch up with throughout their lives.
"Okay! Let's take the exam together, and maybe we can join the Department of Ghosts and Gods together and work together."
Chu Chen smiled and said to Wang Ping.
"Brother Chu, that's what I think, let's go!"
The Taoist examination in the Taoist Academy is different from the examination in the academy. It is not a paper answer sheet, but a face-to-face examination by the Taoist instructors, who answer each question.
It was similar to the assessment that Chu Chen took when he entered the Taoist Academy.
The only difference is that the difficulty is higher.
On the first day of the Taoist Academy's Taoist examination, there were quite a few Taoist Academy disciples who signed up, more than a hundred of them.
Chu Chen's and Wang Ping's grades are sixty-eight and seventy respectively.
The two waited until the afternoon, and finally it was their turn to take the exam.
Enter a clean room.
Chu Chen was startled by the battle in front of him.
There were about ten people in the room including the dean Cang Qingzi, teachers, lecturers and so on.
In addition, the dean, Cang Qingzi, also invited the two deputy governors of the Ghosts and Gods Department to come and watch the ceremony, which was a huge battle.
One of the county deputy governors was Master Boyunlei Taoist.
Another deputy governor of the county, Chu Chen, listened to the master. The master mentioned that Han Chen was in charge of the deputy governor.
With so many big people gathered together to assess you, there are scrutinizing eyes everywhere.
If you are a person with poor mental qualities, you may show your cowardice at this moment.
"I've met all the seniors!"
Chu Chen can be considered to have seen the world, and he is good at cultivating his energy. He can calm down and salute everyone.
"No need to be polite."
Dean Cang Qingzi smiled and waved his hand and said:
"Chu Chen, are you ready?"
Chu Chen took a deep breath and said respectfully: "Please ask the dean to propose a question."
Cang Qingzi nodded slightly, waved his hand lightly, and a hand formed from cloud dragged the lottery tube on the table and presented it in front of Chu Chen.
The sign tube looks ordinary, but in fact there is a universe inside, which can block the detection of spiritual consciousness.
Chu Chen understood immediately that he did not dare to show off his spiritual power in public, so he honestly stretched out his hand to draw lots.
Take it randomly.
Taking a closer look, he took out the bamboo stick marked "1".
Seeing this scene, Taoist doctors, teachers, ghosts, gods, and immortal officials all had smiles on their faces.
Chu Chen looked at his master, Taoist Boyunlei.
Taoist Yunlei smiled bitterly.
Chu Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely understood that the number "1" was not a good one.
It's all the kid's fault. Before I went out, I said I had good luck today.
Sure enough, the "good news" came, and a bad lot was drawn immediately.
It's so damn effective.
Cang Qingzi smiled, took back the lottery tube and the No. 1 lottery, straightened his expression, looked at Chu Chen, and asked:
