The announcement of the Imperial Roll echoed throughout the entire examination hall.
Jia Zhu was so excited that his entire body was trembling. Even though he was a wooden person by nature, he could not conceal the ecstasy in his heart. To be able to stand out from hundreds of thousands of people, even if his ranking was at the bottom, he was still a successful candidate. His name was on the roll, and no one could erase it.
"Congratulations, Brother Jia, for being on the Imperial Roll and becoming a High Scholar, your future is bright."
When the candidates beside Jia Zhu saw this, they all smiled and congratulated her.
Becoming a High Scholar, without a doubt, meant that he already had one foot in Da Yi's court. No one could predict his future, but he definitely had a bright future ahead of him. Such a person must be befriended. Those who participated in the Imperial Examinations were not idiots. What was this called? This was called comradeship. In the officialdom and the imperial court, it was often at this moment that the first friendship was formed.
Jia Zhu was overjoyed, and naturally thanked those around him for their congratulations.
"Li Quan, ranked 66,660, Fifteen on the Imperial Roll. Passing the Imperial Roll and becoming a High Scholar. "
At this moment, the announcement of another name came from the Imperial Roll.
A middle-aged scholar was ecstatic when he heard it. He laughed and said, "I made it, I finally made it. Although I was near the bottom, I still made it."
The joy in his heart was unimaginable.
Out of hundreds of thousands of people, only about 60,000 were accepted. This was a rather shocking ratio. No one dared to say that they would definitely make it into the High Scholar.
But once they made it, the joy in their hearts would naturally be expressed on their faces.
As the announcement of the Imperial Roll continued, one could see a wave of luck appear out of thin air, descending from the sky and enveloping them. In that instant, it was as if a golden light had enveloped their bodies. Under the influence of the luck, they instantly felt that the bottleneck of luck in their cultivation had been completely loosened. With just a thought, it was easily broken.
Boom!!
Whether it was Jia Zhu or Li Quan, under the influence of this luck, they naturally broke through. They broke through their original cultivation level. At the same time, the luck washed over their bodies, and some of the original hidden injuries were easily healed. Moreover, they felt extremely relaxed. It was unprecedentedly good, and even their potential seemed to have been enhanced. It became even more astonishing.
This was the cleansing of Karmic Luck in the body and soul. Its effect was undoubtedly comparable to the cleansing of one's tendons and marrow, and it was no different from rebirth.
This kind of benefit was almost impossible to obtain through normal cultivation.
"Chen Bai Lie, ranked 66,664 in the Imperial Examinations. He passed the Imperial Examinations and became a High Scholar."
.....
The announcement of the Golden Roll did not stop. It continued to be sung at a fixed frequency. One by one, the examinees whose names were called out on the Honor Roll would then receive waves of Karmic Luck, cleansing their muscles and marrow, causing them to be reborn. In terms of cultivation aptitude, they would instantly rise to a whole new level.
Moreover, many examinees discovered that as the examinee's ranking got higher, the Providence they received would naturally become richer, and the golden light they emitted would become even richer. Obviously, he had obtained more Karmic Luck than the people ranked below him.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
As the announcement continued, the people who had passed the Imperial Examinations were naturally overjoyed. However, some of them had a gloomy look on their faces even before they heard their names. They already knew in their hearts that their chances of passing the Imperial Examinations were not high.
Naturally, they were well aware of their own performance.
For example, those who were expelled from the Imperial Examinations due to the destruction of the city or their own deaths did not have much hope of passing the Imperial Examinations. In their hearts, they already knew the final outcome.
Therefore, when they saw others receiving Karmic Luck, their eyes were filled with envy.
This was the great benefit of joining the Da Yi Regime.
Time passed quietly.
Those who had passed the Imperial Examinations were wild with joy. Those who did not hear their names were ashen. They were deathly pale. They could only look at them with envy.
"It's the Imperial Examinations and the Imperial Examinations. Is this the Imperial Examinations?"
In Xuanhuang Castle, a group of commoners closest to Baoshu looked up into the void. Their eyes were filled with surprise. They had also heard the announcement of the Imperial Examinations. They all stood still and listened attentively.
No one would not be concerned about the Imperial Examinations.
This was now the most important matter in the Da Yi Regime.
It was such an honor to actually hear the Imperial Examinations being announced. No matter how important the matter at hand was, they had to put it aside first.
They listened carefully.
The announcement of the Imperial Examinations grew louder and louder, and the area it covered continued to expand. At first, it was in the examination courtyard. Now, it had covered a part of Xuanhuang Castle. Moreover, it was rapidly expanding, covering more areas.
The higher the ranking, the louder the announcement, and the wider the area it covered. This was fame.
If one's ranking was low, the chances of being remembered were naturally low. The higher one's ranking, the wider the area of fame, and the higher the chances of being remembered.
Unknowingly, the announcement of the Imperial Examinations had covered the entire Xuanhuang Castle. Then, it spread outwards, covering large swathes of the wilderness and immortal cities. Not only did humans know about it, but even the alien races in the wilderness could hear it. The scene was magnificent. It was shocking.
The higher one's ranking was, the wider the area it covered.
When it reached the top hundred, almost the entire Da Yi Regime was covered.
With that kind of influence, any name would be engraved in people's hearts.
At that moment, in an immortal city.
In one of the courtyards, a handsome young man could be seen standing in the middle of the courtyard. He raised his head and glanced in the direction of the Xuanhuang City. His gaze was deep, as if he was filled with yearning and regret.
He was silently listening to the announcement of the Imperial Examinations.
"Big Brother Zhou, it's all because of me. If it wasn't for me, with Big Brother Zhou's talent, there would definitely be a place for Big Brother Zhou on the Imperial Examinations. It's all because of me that Big Brother Zhou's future has been ruined. "
A delicate young girl walked out of the house. Her face was pale, as if she was ill. This young girl was Xiao He. At that moment, her face was full of self-blame.
"Xiao He, how could this be your fault? If you want to blame someone, you can only blame your Big Brother Zhou for not having enough opportunities this time. It's not time for him to be on the Imperial Examinations. Furthermore, it was my decision not to participate in the Imperial Examinations. "
Zhou Yu said with a smile. His previous hesitation and regret were swept away.
"Big Brother Zhou …"
Xiao He bit her lips, but the self-blame on her face did not disappear.
It turned out that before the Imperial Examinations, Xiao He had heard that in the wilderness outside of the city, there existed a kind of strange mushroom called the Green Cloud Mushroom. It was azure in color and emitted a cloud-like glow. It was said that not only did it taste delicious, but it could also sharpen one's thoughts after eating it. At the moment when the Imperial Examinations were about to be held. Naturally, many people went out to the wilderness to pick the Green Cloud Mushroom.
At that time, Xiao He was naturally no exception. Before she set off, she left the Celestial City early in the morning and entered the wilderness to pick Azure Cloud Mushrooms. Normally speaking, Azure Cloud Mushrooms would only grow 15 minutes after the sun rose in the morning, and once this period of time passed, they would wither along with it. If one wanted to pick them, they could only do it during this period of time, and if they missed it, then they could only wait until tomorrow or the next time.
On that day, Xiao He woke up early in the morning and went to the wilderness to pick the Green Cloud Mushroom. Moreover, there were many people who went to pick the Green Cloud Mushroom with her.
But this was the problem. When he was picking the Cyan Cloud Mushrooms, there was a Scarlet Blood Snake hiding under one of the Cyan Cloud Mushrooms. When the Scarlet Blood Snake was not moving, it was no different from an ordinary withered branch. Furthermore, its body was very small. It looked to be about the thickness of a finger. If one did not look carefully, they would not be able to see its tip. At that time, Xiao He's heart was completely attracted by the Green Cloud Mushroom. Why would she care about anything else?
When she accidentally touched the Scarlet Blood Snake, she was immediately bitten by the Scarlet Blood Snake at lightning speed. That bite instantly poisoned her.
If not for the fact that Xiao He was a cultivator and had vital energy to protect her body and heart, she would have died from the poison on the spot. One could imagine how miserable her ending would be.
The Scarlet Blood Snake's venom was very strong. Once bitten, the venom would directly corrode the blood in one's body. Not only would it ignite the blood, but it would also corrode the flesh and blood around the body. In an instant, the body would turn red. Then, it would be covered in crimson flames and burned to ashes in the crimson flames. It was truly terrifying. Extremely cruel.
Fortunately, although the Scarlet Blood Snake's venom was strong, there were still pills that could restrain it.
For example, the Yin and Yang Pill could also suppress the venom. It could even reverse life and death and remove the venom. Yin and Yang were the creation. It was naturally very appropriate to use the power of Yin and Yang to erase the venom.
Therefore, after seeing that Xiao He was poisoned, Zhou Yu did not hesitate to give her the Yin and Yang Pill he obtained from the lantern to suppress the venom.
However, after the venom was eliminated, Xiao He's essence, qi, and spirit were greatly damaged. The venom burned the blood in her body. Once it was burned, it would naturally be depleted. One could imagine the impact on her body. If not for the Yin and Yang Pill replenishing her foundation, even if she did not die this time, there would be a huge hidden danger. Her foundation would be affected. It might even ruin her future path of cultivation.
With his vitality greatly damaged, Zhou Yu did not have the mood to participate in the imperial examinations. He immediately decided to stay and take care of Xiao He, who was still unconscious.
As a result, the Imperial Examination was completely delayed.
He had to admit that he had missed a great opportunity.
Zhou Yu believed that if he participated in the imperial examinations, he would definitely be one of the top candidates in the imperial examinations. Now, among the famous imperial examinations, he would definitely be one of them.
Unfortunately, in this world, not everything revolves around you.
A miss was a miss.
There was only regret. There was no regret.
"Alright, Xiao He, as long as you're fine, it doesn't matter if you miss the imperial examinations. Moreover, in Da Yi, as long as you have talent, the imperial examinations are not the only way to advance. Don't worry, I already have a plan. "
