Chapter 465: The end of the county examination
Translator: 549690339
The older male cultivator wasn’t surprised and said, ” You don’t know. Although this Fan family hasn’t been famous in recent years, their ancestors do have some background. &Quot;
&Quot; a hundred years ago, during the pill debate ceremony, the demon sect attacked. At that time, there was a rogue cultivator with the surname fan who came from outside the country and passed the test of a sixth-grade Alchemist. &Quot;
&Quot; he was outstanding in the county examination. However, after he went to the capital, he died in the hands of a demonic cultivator in order to protect a young Alchemist from the Empire. &Quot;
“This fan Jusong and her father, fan Dechang, are both descendants of that Alchemist.”
“At that time, in order to appease the people, the dynasty allocated extremely generous compensation.”
&Quot; the young Alchemist who was protected by him and survived the disaster later entered the ‘small sky of freedom’ and once shone brightly in the Empire’s alchemy Dao. &Quot;
&Quot; he naturally has his own way of expressing his gratitude to the descendants of the fan clan. &Quot;
&Quot; a few decades ago, the young Alchemist passed away. As he had no children, he even left all his family property to the son of his Savior ... &Quot;
“Moreover, although that Alchemist fan came from outside the country, he has the strength of a sixth grade Alchemist. After so many years, his wealth is also very rich.”
&Quot; among the relics, there are spiritual flames for pill furnaces and heavenly materials and earthly treasures. There are many of them. &Quot;
“This is also the reason why his descendants decided to stay in our dynasty and didn’t dare to leave. After all, with such a fortune, apart from our Empire, I’m afraid you’ll be guilty of possessing a jade pendant anywhere else.”
&Quot; therefore, don’t look at the fan family’s small population. Even some of the local cultivation families might not be as wealthy as them. &Quot;
&Quot; fan Jusong is an only daughter. The fan family has accumulated a lot of resources, so naturally, all of them were poured into her. &Quot;
&Quot; therefore, it is reasonable to have such a deep foundation. &Quot;
The older female cultivator was deep in thought. &Quot; this means that this father and daughter have been living in our dynasty for a long time. Why didn’t this fan Jusong enter the academy? why did he sign up as a rogue cultivator? ”
&Quot; after all, a large portion of the foreign cultivators who live in our dynasty are here for the Academy. &Quot;
The cultivation of the cultivators under the rule of the glazed tile Empire was different from that of other places.
The method they used was the same as how they taught mortals.
It was the Academy system.
Under his rule, he had set up an Academy. All the children born in the territory would be taken in and trained by the Academy from a young age.
When they reached a certain age, the Imperial court would send people to check on their bone structure and qualifications. Then, according to the specific situation, they would be assigned to the corresponding Upper Academy for further studies.
During this process, even the cultivation students from ordinary families had access to the cultivation knowledge that had been repeatedly sorted, revised, and finalized by many high-level cultivators in the Empire. It had a very complete system that covered all aspects, and many top cultivators in the world had their opinionated views.
Not to mention other resources, just this experience alone was already a blind spot that ordinary itinerant cultivators could not come into contact with.
Therefore, unless they were old enough to be accepted by the Academy when they entered the dynasty, they would try their best to let their children enter the academy and receive the teachings of the dynasty’s Orthodox inheritance.
“I have also heard of this matter.” The older male cultivator said, ” this fan Jusong was said to have been in the Academy for two days when she was young. However, because she was the only daughter, her family doted on her too much. Within two days, she complained that the Academy cared about this and that and made a fuss about going back ... Her father’s Dao partner passed away early, so he cherished her very much. No matter how the Academy persuaded her that Jade can’t be made into good without being cut, they still couldn’t bear their daughter’s pestering and crying, so they really took her back and never sent her to any Academy to cultivate.”
&Quot; since fan Jusong has come to participate in the county examination today, it seems that even though her father has allowed her to not go to the academy, he must have personally taught her ancestral alchemy skills over the years. &Quot;
As he said that, he conjured a water mirror, which happened to reflect fan Dechang’s anticipating expression outside the hundred works Yamen. &Quot; look, this is his father. It’s true that he’s good for his daughter, but some kind fathers often ruin their sons. This fan Jusong’s current cultivation base is most likely due to a rogue cultivator who doesn’t understand the importance of Foundation and forcibly used resources to push himself to this level.”
“I see,” the older female cultivator nodded slightly.
This fan Dechang looked like someone who was completely submissive to his daughter, so it was not surprising that he couldn’t resist fan Jusong’s pampered willfulness. Although she didn’t agree with this, she didn’t want to worry about other people’s family matters.
He didn’t say anything else.

Inside the cave, PEI Ling had just finished his cultivation. Calculating the time, it had been around 10 hours.
Therefore, he immediately swallowed the poison pill and called out to the system in his heart to start the furnace and refine the pill ...
???
At the same time, in the office of hundred works.
Zhou Miaoli’s pendant clanked as she walked into her assigned room.
A middle-aged examiner was already seated inside.
Seeing her enter, after briefly explaining the rules, he said in a low voice, ” “You can start now.”
Zhou Miaoli walked to the long table, picked up the Jade slip, and glanced at it. “I can take pills during the process of refining, right?”
“That’s up to you,” The examiner said.
And so, Zhou Miaoli immediately took out a poison pill and swallowed it in front of the examiner.
The examiner was stunned. Consuming poison to refine pills?
What was going on?
Before he could think clearly about this problem, he saw this female cultivator named fan Jusong skillfully ignite the pill fire and start the furnace to refine pills ...
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the other party successfully refined his first batch of pills.
He opened the lid of the furnace and saw a pile of medicinal pills at the bottom of the furnace. There were high-grade, medium-grade, and low-grade medicinal pills. However, the female cultivator’s originally white face had a faint blue color. It was obvious that the poisonous pill had begun to take effect.
The examiner frowned. Just as he was considering whether he should detoxify fan Jusong, he saw the other party start to make a second batch ...
After refining five cauldrons in a row, the green color on the female cultivator’s face was getting thicker and thicker, and even her pupils were slightly suffused with an abnormal purplish black color. The examiner couldn’t help but remind her, ” “You’re deeply poisoned, quickly detoxify the poison!”
Zhou Miaoli laughed coldly in her heart. What could a mere fifth-ranked Alchemist know?
Hence, she did not pay any attention to the examiner and continued to refine the pill.
Finally ...
In about two hours, Zhou Miaoli had successfully made ten furnaces of pills. At this moment, her face was purple, and her eyes were bloodshot. The intense pain in her abdomen had spread throughout her body.
It was as if there were countless small knives cutting through his flesh, blood, bones, and tendons. Blood was flowing out of his seven orifices.
However, with her second-grade golden core cultivation, her unparalleled willpower, and her profound Foundation, Zhou Miaoli held on until the end of the pill refining process!
The middle-aged examiner was dumbstruck. This fan Jusong’s alchemy skills were remarkable, but his brain seemed to be a little abnormal?
At that moment, Zhou Miaoli calmly reached out her hand, took out the detox pill from her storage bag, and swallowed it.
The examiner finally came back to his senses and quickly said, ” “Fan Jusong, passed the county examination!”
... Five days later, the county examination ended.
PEI Ling, accompanied by Shi Wanli, once again came to the hundred worker Gu.
