Southern Song Dynasty, Hangzhou, Qiantang County.
Zhou Yang, Bai Suzhen, and Green Snake strolled along the bustling streets of Qiantang County.
The place where Zhou Yang and company first appeared was not in Hangzhou, but in a city in the Jin Kingdom.
However, Zhou Yang and company could already fly, so they arrived at Qiantang County in about an hour.
The moment Zhou Yang entered the World of the White Snake, he felt that the level of the World of the White Snake was higher.
This was because the Immortal World, Underworld, and Human World were like different worlds. It was a completely Xianxia world.
If not for the system's rules that forbade him from wandering around during missions, Zhou Yang would have gone to the Heavenly Courts to take a look.
As for opening up this world, after fusing the cultivation technique, Zhou Yang had almost no value.
"Shop owner, is sister's savior here?" Little Qing walked on the street, jumping up and down. She sized up the stalls on the street, attracting the attention of countless passersby.
"We're almost there." Zhou Yang nodded. Xu Xian was working as an apprentice in a medicine shop in front of them.
Bai Suzhen, who was beside him, was slightly excited when she heard that. She would soon be able to fulfill her wish.
"He is the reincarnation of the Shepherd Boy. How do you want to repay him?" Zhou Yang pointed at a youth in the medicine shop who was busy filling medicine for a patient.
The youth was about twenty years old. He wore a gray shirt and had a pale face. He had a scholarly air about him.
Bai Suzhen looked at the busy Xu Xian in the medicine shop and was momentarily hesitant. She really did not know how to repay the youth in front of her.
"How about this, I'll help you ask." Zhou Yang smiled. No one would know how to repay a stranger they did not know.
"Xu Xian, come here." Zhou Yang's voice was calm, but it had a hint of mental suggestion.
Xu Xian, who had just stopped to rest in the herb shop, suddenly stood up and walked toward Zhou Yang and the other two for some reason.
"What wish do you have?" Zhou Yang looked at Xu Xian, who was in a daze, and asked.
"I want to enter the imperial examinations and become an official," Xu Xian said without hesitation.
More than ninety-nine percent of scholars studied to become an official.
"Xu Xian, go back," Zhou Yang said softly.
Xu Xian turned around and left. She had only taken two steps when she found herself standing on the street. She had a confused look on her face. When did she come out? She ran into the medicine shop in a panic.
If the medicine shop owner knew he was slacking off, he would most likely deduct his wages.
"Miss Bai, what do you think about fulfilling his wish?" Zhou Yang turned to the slightly disappointed Bai Suzhen and asked.
Clearly, the alchemist in front of her gave her a completely different feeling from the Shepherd Boy from back then.
"En." Bai Suzhen nodded lightly. Perhaps this was the best way to repay a debt of gratitude.
"Where are we going now?" Little Qing asked impatiently.
He was just a mortal, why would they need to go through so much trouble to personally find him to repay their kindness?
"Of course to the Imperial Palace," Zhou Yang said. It was not the time for the Imperial Examination yet, so he had to find the current emperor to solve the problem.
The imperial examinations had not been held yet, so Bai Suzhen and Qing had to follow Zhou Yang to Lin 'an City.
Bai Suzhen and Qing didn't know much about the imperial examinations, so they followed Zhou Yang and flew to Lin 'an City.
About fifteen minutes later, Zhou Yang and company stopped at the foot of Lin 'an City.
Different from the world of Journey to the West Exorcism, Zhou Yang found that there were some Jianghu people in Lin 'an City.
But most of them were masters of the Acquired Realm, and it was rare to see a master of the Innate Realm.
However, Zhou Yang was not too surprised.
Compared with the world of Journey to the West Exorcism, there were more sects of Taoism and Buddhism in the world of The Legend of the White Snake. Almost all the famous mountains had Taoism sects, and some masters of the Innate Realm would seek Immortal Fate.
"Is this Lin 'an City?" Qing exclaimed.
Compared with Qiantang County, Lin 'an City was more prosperous. There were more kinds of goods, and many foreigners could be seen.
Although Wanjie Lou was better, it didn't feel real.
Bai Suzhen's face was also full of excitement. She had cultivated for more than a thousand years and had not entered the human world. It was much more lively than in the mountains.
"I didn't expect the remaining Southern Song Dynasty's fortune to be so strong." Zhou Yang led Bai Suzhen and Qing toward the palace. They didn't see a single demon along the way.
Bai Suzhen was better. She focused on Taoism, so she didn't have much Demonic Qi.
But Qing was different. Her whole body was full of Demonic Qi. When they approached Chang 'an City, she was almost forced to reveal her true form by the pressure of the Dragon Qi.
Fortunately, the goods in Wanjie Lou had Dharma Artifacts that could conceal Demonic Qi, so Qing could maintain her human form.
Zhou Yang flew above the palace and scanned the palace. He found a mass of Dragon Qi in one of the palaces, so he led Bai Suzhen and Qing there.
"Name: Zhao Gou.
Identity: World of the Legend of the White Snake, Emperor Taizong of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou.
Commercial value: Two stars. "
In the Hall of Diligent Government, there was a man who looked to be in his thirties or forties. He wore a red ceremonial robe and was waving a writing brush.
Those who didn't know him would think that he was correcting memorials. But Zhou Yang knew that he was practicing calligraphy.
"Zhao Gou, your writing is not bad."
Zhou Yang appeared behind Gaozong Zhao Gou in an instant and praised.
Although Zhou Yang didn't know much about calligraphy, he could tell that Gaozong Zhao Gou's writing was elegant and natural. It was already at the level of a calligraphy master.
"This writing …" Gaozong Zhao Gou heard it and felt slightly proud.
But his face quickly darkened. Damn, I seem to be an emperor. Ever since I ascended the throne, no one has called me Zhao Gou.
Gaozong Zhao Gou looked at Zhou Yang, who was leisurely looking around, with a face full of caution. Then, he looked at the two quiet girls below.
The girl in white had a calm expression, while the girl in green, although there was a trace of fear in her eyes, she looked around the palace curiously.
"What business do you have in the palace?" Gaozong Zhao Gou's darkened face quickly disappeared and was replaced with calmness.
The three people in front of him were probably not ordinary people. His shouting would only put their lives in danger.
"We need your help." Zhou Yang said. "There's a person called Xu Xian in Qiantang County. I hope that you can help him pass the imperial examinations tomorrow and give him a peak life."
"You guys should be cultivators, right?"
When Zhao Gou heard this, the nervousness in his heart lessened a little. Cultivators should know the consequences of hurting him. "It is not yet time for the Imperial Examinations, and the Zhuangyuan are usually the Literary Stars who descended to the mortal world. Even I cannot interfere."
"If you guys do this, you will go against the law of heaven."
"Passing the imperial examinations doesn't mean that he will be the top scholar," Zhou Yang smiled. "And you are an emperor. Passing the imperial examinations doesn't mean that you have to pass the imperial examinations."
"This cultivation technique, Essence Nurturing Technique, is the condition of the trade." Zhou Yang placed a white jade slip in front of Gaozong Song Zhao Gou and looked at him with a playful expression.
The moment the white jade scroll appeared, Zhou Yang noticed the endless desire and excitement in Gaozong Zhao Gou's eyes.
Cultivation technique!
As the emperor, he had never even seen a cultivation technique before. He didn't expect that he would get one today.
Zhou Yang looked at Gaozong Zhao Gou, whose body was trembling slightly, and didn't say anything.
In the world of the Legend of the White Snake, there was a law set by the Heavenly Court. Mortal emperors could not cultivate.
No matter if it was the evil path or the orthodox sects, no one dared to give cultivation techniques to the emperor.
Because the karma involved was too great, enough to send a sect to eternal damnation.
"Your worries are completely unnecessary. The Emperor cannot cultivate, but the Old Great Emperor can." Zhou Yang patted Gaozong Song Zhao Gou, who was in a dilemma, and explained.
Hearing this, Gaozong Zhao Gou gripped the white jade scroll tightly in his hand and nodded.
Very quickly, he called a white-haired old eunuch to write the imperial decree in front of Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang and the other two followed the procession back to Qiantang County.
The imperial decree was written very elegantly, and there were a few hundred words.
But Zhou Yang could still understand the general meaning.
The emperor once heard of Xu Xian's literary talent and gave him the same status as a scholar in the imperial examinations. He told him to quickly report to the imperial court and entrusted him with an important task. He even gave him ten concubines.
When Xu Xian heard the imperial decree, he was in a daze. His face was a mixture of disbelief and excitement.
"Thank you for your help. Bai Suzhen's wish has been fulfilled. I will return to the mountain to cultivate." Bai Suzhen looked at the excited Xu Xian and said calmly.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to go."
Zhou Yang quickly flew out of Qiantang County with a confused Bai Suzhen and Little Qing. He stopped outside of Qiantang County and looked at the four figures flying in the sky. His eyes were filled with shock. The Heavenly Court was so efficient.
He didn't know what law he had broken to attract heavenly soldiers and generals.
"Warning! The trade mission has been completed. Host, please leave the world of the Legend of the White Snake as soon as possible. Otherwise, in two hours, the system will forcefully expel the host from the world. "
