Being valued by the Immortals was indeed very tempting.
However, most people did not have the confidence to stand out.
In Chang 'an, only those who were deemed as "talents" by the Immortals were qualified to be selected.
It was already extremely rare to be selected, let alone stand out among these talents and gain the recognition of the Immortals.
Therefore, under such circumstances, the Emperor's imperial edict became a benefit that a considerable number of people really desired.
This was especially true for the poor squires or the disciples of the rich merchants.
As long as they could obtain the status of "talent", it was equivalent to directly stepping into the officialdom and becoming a "soldier".
This was a leap in status and a leap in social class!
All of a sudden.
The whole of Chang 'an was lively again.
Countless students, whether confident in themselves or not, were trying their best to improve themselves. Although it was only a few days, many people were cramming at the last minute.
Even those secluded sects also dug out all kinds of knowledge that they had learned and systematically discussed and analyzed.
Even walking on the street, one could vaguely hear the students reading and discussing.
The atmosphere of learning was unprecedentedly strong.
And it was under such an atmosphere that the five-day agreement passed in a flash.
All the students in Chang 'an were dressed in their best clothes. They gathered in twos and threes, waiting excitedly.
Although it had not yet begun, a heated discussion had already broken out among them.
"I wonder when it started."
"Brother Qingyi will definitely be one of them. Why worry?"
"That's too much. Who knows how many talents the Immortals have? If there are only a dozen people, we are far from enough. "
"Yes, but if there are hundreds of people, I will be one of them."
"Haha."
"What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at you for being so confident just because you memorized a few Confucian books."
"You!"
“.....”
In some places, there were even conflicts between the students.
As the saying went, there was no first place in literature and no second place in martial arts.
It was normal for students to compete with each other. But this time, with the selection of fairies, it was as if there was a real standard. Those who were selected, even if they were looked down upon by others, would still have the reputation of being a genius. And those who were not selected, even if they were praised to the heavens, would still be mediocre.
This was the time for one's knowledge and status to be truly tested.
It was at this moment.
A sudden change occurred.
It was a beam of gentle golden light that came straight from the Heavenly Palace in the sky like a tidal wave. Before anyone realized it, it passed through them and covered all of Chang 'an.
As far as the eye could see …
All of them flickered with golden light and surged with rainbow light. It was a magnificent sight.
No one had ever seen such a scene.
For a moment, countless people knelt on the ground in excitement.
It was the same even in the Imperial Palace.
Li Shimin's heart was actually equally perturbed.
Although it was a gathering of talents in Chang 'an, if he, as the emperor, did not have a place, then he would be ridiculed by the world.
Fortunately, this did not happen.
In Clove's eyes, Li Shimin still had some talent. This didn't necessarily depend on his knowledge, but on his vision. Sitting on the throne, one could always see things that others couldn't easily see.
Thus, his body was enveloped by the golden light, and he slowly flew up.
This feeling of flying in the air was at first a panic, but then it turned into intoxication. There was actually an indescribable excitement.
Flight!
Even under the power of an Immortal, it was still flight!
His body seemed to have lost gravity as he floated up.
Everything was under his feet.
It was not just Li Shimin.
When he flew up bit by bit, he also found that there were hundreds of people in Chang 'an like him.
Among these people, there were old people, young people, middle-aged people, and even women.
They were excited and nervous at the same time.
In any case, the rest of the people who had not flown up could only look at them with envy.
Some people even found it hard to accept.
"That's just a craftsman. How could he be chosen by the Immortal?"
"Why? I've read hundreds of scrolls! Why can't I compare to a merchant? "
"Looking at this person's clothes, he's just a mountain villager!"
"Why is this? Why? "
“.....”
There were many people who were indignant.
However, no matter how unwilling they were, even if they were resentful and puzzled, they did not dare to say it out loud.
The one who made the choice was the Immortal!
The Immortal did not need to explain at all.
If the Immortal said that these were talents, then they were talents!
And these talents that Clove had chosen were indeed capable.
This was based on big data analysis.
Not only knowledge, but also ability and talent.
For example, a blacksmith, although he didn't know many words, he had an extremely high talent in the field of materials. He had even fumbled out a lot of experience and knowledge that transcended the era. It was just that he didn't have a specific effect in the application, so it seemed ordinary. But Lilac was able to dig out his talent.
However —
"Most of these people can't participate in today's discussion," Shen Yi glanced at them. Although he was the one who made the move, the selection was decided by Clove.
"It doesn't matter. They just need to listen." Clove said, "In the name of the Immortal, I'm breaking the discrimination of the people of this era in the field of science."
"It's indeed necessary," Shen Yi said with a smile.
In this era, thinkers had the highest status, while people in the field of science had a lower status.
Not to mention craftsmen and blacksmiths.
Even doctors did not have a high status. At least, they were far from those scholars.
But after today, this situation was bound to change.
— Among the talents recognized by the Immortal, the number of scholars was less than one-third.
At this moment.
These people gathered in the Immortal Palace one by one. Some of them even knelt on the ground as soon as they arrived, trembling in fear and extreme fear.
They were just low-class people in this era. Some of them were even servants of the noble families. At this moment, they actually came to the Immortal Palace!
This was the Immortal Palace!
Just the spotless, white jade-like ground alone was enough to make these people faint from fear. In their opinion, even if they just touched the Immortal Palace, it was an unforgivable blasphemy.
Yet, they still managed to come up.
And the rest of the people, although not so exaggerated, were also excited to the point where they could not control themselves.
Especially those sects that were hidden.
They were chosen, they were really chosen!
Some people were already in tears. From this moment on, they saw the hope of the revival of their school of thought.
