Chapter 9 The White-faced Scholar

Who is Jiang Taiqing?

What is the Supreme Code "Xuandi Law"?

Hearing these names from Gui's mouth made Zhao Rong feel very strange. However, what made him most curious was the issue of "graduation" of students from the four prefectures of Taiqing.

"What are the conditions for graduation from the Four Taiqing Prefectures? Wouldn't it be too tragic to not be able to graduate?" he asked curiously.

"If it were me, I would be too anxious to sleep at night."

Zhao Rong said with deep understanding.

In his previous life, he spent several years in college, but when he was about to graduate, he realized that it was so troublesome to get a diploma. Zhao Rong felt the same anxiety that he might not be able to graduate...

Return: "..."

Why is your focus so strange? I thought you would ask something else, why do you always don't follow the routine?

It suddenly lost interest in chatting.

Every time it faced Zhao Rong, it felt powerless.

Maybe this is the world of waste materials?

"Should they still want to learn a foreign language?" Zhao Rong guessed. It was obvious that he had been tortured by a foreign language in his previous life.

"no."

Gui said dullly: "Sword cultivators and Taoist cultivators must forge golden elixirs before the age of twenty-eight, and the elixir quality must not be lower than the sixth grade. Only then can they be inscribed on the Taiqing Tianjiao Record and successfully complete their courses."

"Oh, that's okay."

"It's indeed okay, but I can't figure out why there are so many so-called geniuses who can't graduate. They are just a bunch of useless people and a waste of human resources!" Gui sneered.

Zhao Rong didn't understand the world of cultivation and the realm system of monks on the mountain, so he had no feelings about being promoted to the Golden Core realm before he was twenty-eight years old.

And then, after all, it was once a monster that tied the human race's record for the fastest Golden Core Realm.

"By the way, who is Jiang Taiqing?"

"Jiang Cang. Taiqing is his name."

"Oh, who is Jiang Cang?"

"Why do you have so many questions? You are still so childish!"

Gui said impatiently: "Don't ask me these simple questions in the future. Go to the mountain market to buy an introductory book for monks and read it yourself."

Zhao Rong said with a serious face: "This hasn't happened yet, but you have begun to dislike me. How will you live in the future?"

Return: "???"



Zhao Rong chuckled lightly and stopped teasing.

I silently made a mental note to buy a monk's "popular science book" and read it when I went back to the Fairy Market on the mountain.

When he came to his senses, he picked up the copybook in the bookstore.

I chose a few good regular script copybooks. I was about to turn around and pay the bill, but after walking a few steps I stopped because I wanted to buy a few books by hundreds of scholars.

So, Zhao Rong walked back into the bookstore.

There are many books in the house, and the rows of bookshelves make it a little crowded. The store opened several skylights in the house. It was daytime, so it didn't feel dark and there was plenty of light.

After Zhao Rong entered, he saw a few people reading.

He made a selection and selected "Mo Bian" and "Hu Feizi", both of which are Mohist classics.

A book with a dark blue cover and a painting of a fox and a lady suddenly caught his eye.

"The Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox Fairy"?

I heard that there are many demon clans in this world.

Zhao Rong picked up the book with some curiosity and opened it to take a closer look, but was soon disappointed.

This is a love novel wrapped in a ghost legend, and it is the most cliche story about a fox demon and a scholar...

It turns out that there are also chat rooms in this world.

He smiled and shook his head, put the book back on the shelf, and prepared to pay the bill and leave.

"Hehe~"

A laugh came from the other side of the bookshelf. The sound was very quiet, but he still heard it.

Zhao Rong followed the sound and looked through the space on the bookshelf.

On the other side of the bookshelf, standing opposite him, was a young white-faced scholar.

I saw that he was extremely handsome, with clear black and white eyes and piercing eyes. He was holding an open book in his hand. The hand holding the book was as white as snow against the dark blue cover.

At this moment, he was reading a book with great energy, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved.

Zhao Rong glanced at the book cover in the hand of the white-faced scholar.

The corners of his mouth twitched.

Does anyone really read this book?

Seeing that he was "giggling" again at this moment, Zhao Rong couldn't help but look at him with a little more care.

Perhaps Zhao Rong had been staring for too long, but the white-faced scholar suddenly raised his head.

When he found Zhao Rong looking at him through a bookshelf, he quickly put away his expression and gave Zhao Rong a hard look.

Zhao Rong coughed lightly and looked away in embarrassment. When he looked back, the white-faced scholar was no longer where he was.

Turning around, he saw the handsome scholar carrying a few books to the counter to pay the bill. However, he was obviously wearing a blue shirt with his hair tied up, but his steps were light and his figure was graceful.

Zhao Rong suddenly felt a chill.



Zhao Rong returned to the Jingnan Duke's Mansion with his copybooks and books.

On the way back to his room, Zhao Rong met Zhao Lingfei's second brother Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo looked embarrassed and wanted to explain something to Zhao Rong, because he guessed from Zhao Rong's attitude towards him in the past few days that Zhao Rong knew that he had leaked the secret.

However, Zhao Rong ignored him, cupped his hands and walked away.

Maybe he had his own reasons, but Zhao Rong didn't want to hear it. He was leaving soon anyway and didn't want to have too much involvement with the Duke's Mansion.

After returning to the room and looking at the empty room, Zhao Rong laughed to himself.

Now I am really alone.

He threw the copybook and book on the desk, turned around, opened an inconspicuous wardrobe in the house, and dug out a wooden box from the corner.

He opened the wooden box and took out all the items in the box and placed them on the table.

An jade bracelet. His mother gave it to him before she died. She said that Zhao Lingfei had been coveting it since she was a child, but she never gave it to her. She asked Zhao Rong to give it to Zhao Lingfei after they got married.

There are two copies of the road guide, one new and one old. The new one was something he asked Zhao Kuo to do for him before, and it will also be used when he travels in the future. The old one was left by his mother, and this road guide contains all the information.

There were densely packed seals. Except for the last one, which was the official seal of the Chu Dynasty, Zhao Rong didn't recognize the others, but he could appreciate how far his mother had traveled.

It is worth noting that this old road was issued by a country called Dajin, which was probably his hometown and the destination of his trip.

A simple token of unknown material. Left behind by my mother, with a small seal engraved with the word "Dream" on it, its purpose unknown.

An exquisite dagger. It was given to him by his mother. The hilt of this sword is equipped with a sword tassel, which can be called a "literary sword". The sword has the virtue of a gentleman. A scholar wearing a sword means his noble status and status.

, and he played with it and found that this sword was very sharp and was not just an elegant accessory. He planned to carry it with him for self-defense.

A mysterious card and a silver medal. These are the tokens of the ferry tickets on the mountain that Zhao Kuo bought for him. The ferry corresponding to the mysterious card is from Dachu to the Lihuo Kingdom at the southernmost tip of Wangque Continent, and the silver medal is in the Lihuo Kingdom.

A token of the departing cross-continental ferry.

I heard from Zhao Kuo that the ferry in front belonged to Qingfeng Pavilion, a medium-sized immortal family in the south of Wangquezhou, while the cross-continental ferry in the back belonged to Weiwei Mountain, one of the few great immortal families on Wangquezhou Mountain.

Finally, there are some spiritual stones and gold. The spiritual stones were leftover after Zhao Kuo helped him sell some of his mother's relics and buy the ship ticket. The gold was prepared by himself. After all, Dachu silver notes are not universal in other countries, only gold can It’s hard currency at the foot of the mountain.

These things, plus the Xuanniao jade tablet and private seal, are probably his entire net worth now.

Zhao Rong picked up the mysterious card of Qingfeng Pavilion and played with it gently. He remembered what Zhao Kuo said when he handed the thing to him.

The next ferry from Qingfeng Pavilion will arrive at Longquan Mountain Ferry, a hundred miles away from Qianjing, around March 15th. Don’t miss it.
