"Thank you for your kind words. Please pay more attention to the matter of private soldiers. However, ordinary Demon Commanders can no longer satisfy me. The worst ones should be royal Demon Commanders or ordinary Demon Marquises. "
"Of course I know your requirements are high. Otherwise, with my background, it would be a piece of cake for me to find ordinary Demon Commanders and Demon Generals. It's easy to pick private soldiers for others, but it's different for you. The Blood Demon Barbarians are destined to fail. Even the descendants of the Blood Demon Barbarians are excluded. I can only target the Star Demon Barbarians. With your identity as the Moon Empress, not only will the Star Demon Barbarians not rebel, they will also be very loyal. However, there are too few Star Demon Barbarians. Give me a few more months. If it really doesn't work, I'll think of a way to get a batch of private soldiers from the Ancient Desolate City. "
"Okay, you can do as you deem fit. It's best to have a reasonable combination. I want more demons who have mastered special demonic techniques to make up for the lack of scholars like us. It would be even better if we can find rare insect demons. "
"Insect demons? That's too rare. They are protected as rare demons in the Demon Realm. By the way, there are many legends about insect demons, but I've never understood why they are so rare. You should know, right? "
"I do know the reason why insect demons are so rare. Back then, when the demons rose, the insect demons, bird demons, beast demons, and fish demons fought against the ancient demons. At that time, although the insect demons had few Saint conferred, they had a reproductive ability that far exceeded that of the other races. If there were no Half-saint in the battle, the insect demons would be invincible on the battlefield. Later on, the Half-saint of the insect race was killed by the ancient demons, who then cursed the entire insect demon race, causing them to be unable to recover. "
"I see, the battle back then must have been very exciting. Unfortunately, I don't know if we humans will defeat the demons and barbarians and start a new era. Okay, I'm going to make preparations. Continue studying. We'll meet in Kong City during the Ten Nations Grand Tournament. "
After chatting with Ceng Yuan, Fang Yun entered the Literature Palace to check on the Heavenly Tree seedling, which was less than an inch tall. It was made up of two oval-shaped tender leaves and a small upright trunk. Although it was called a Heavenly Tree seedling, it was actually like a small bean sprout.
This little bean sprout didn't seem to be anything special, but it was able to take root in the literary palace. It didn't release any of its power to benefit Fang Yun, nor did it absorb Fang Yun's power.
Fang Yun carefully inspected his literary palace and body. After sitting under the Celestial Tree for six hours, the vitality in his body had clearly become stronger, and his literary palace had also become sturdier, just as described in the book. In the future, his self-healing ability would be extremely strong.
Every time the Celestial Tree sapling matured, Fang Yun would be able to enter the Celestial Tree. Each time, the leaf continent he entered would be higher than before, and the Yuan Qi he obtained would be even better.
Half-saint had deduced that if a Celestial Tree sapling could be nurtured to a certain level, it could obtain the powerful vitality of the Celestial Tree itself, and it could even restore the shattered Script Gall.
Fang Yun recalled the scene he saw yesterday. The leaf continent was floating alone in the night sky, and there were no tree trunks around it. He couldn't see any other leaves either. At that time, he didn't think too much about it. Now that he thought about it, that leaf was equivalent to a world of its own.
He looked at the Celestial Tree sapling. Fang Yun thought about the Corpse Qi of the Dragon Sacred Dragon that it needed, and felt helpless. Even Half-saint hadn't seen that thing before. Those geniuses who had fallen at the hands of this Celestial Tree sapling were not unlucky.
Fang Yun continued to study. He closed his door and didn't come out until the morning of the fifteenth of the ninth month. Only then did he personally carry his backpack. He left the first dormitory and headed for the academy's high scholar class.
The fifteenth of the ninth month was the start of the high scholar class every year.
The academy's high scholar class was held every year for three years, so it was divided into three grades: A, B, C, and C. Every year, according to the beginning of the Thousand Character Classic, it was divided into eight classes: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, Huang, Yu, Zhou, Flood, and Huang.
These twenty-four classes gathered the most outstanding high scholars in Jingguo. Every year, the first place of each province's high scholar examination would be exempted from entering the Third Heaven class, while the rest of the students would have to take an examination.
Other than the top scorer of the year, high scholars recommended by each province's literary academy could also study here. However, these high scholars had to have at least three years of experience, and they had to be in the top ten of that year's high scholar examination.
Other than that, the Half-saint aristocratic family, scholars, and scholars all had the right to recommend high scholars.
These high scholars who were recommended could directly enter the high scholar class of the academy, and they made up about three out of ten students.
The other seven out of ten students had to take multiple examinations before they could enter the high scholar class.
Other than the high scholar class, there were also assistant classes. Although the assistant classes belonged to the academy, they only accepted high scholars from the capital. In actual fact, they were equivalent to the classes of each province's literary academy.
Other than the high scholar class, the academy also had a high scholar class, a high scholar class, a high scholar class, and a women's class.
There was only one high scholar class every year. Only those who didn't want to become an official and wanted to further their studies would continue to study here in order to consolidate their knowledge. Most of them had just passed the high scholar examination, and the older scholars would choose to join the civil service, the literary academy, or the military. Only a few scholars would study abroad.
As for the top scholars, they would either study at the Confucius Academy, or fight for the position of Notre-Dame. If they couldn't study at a notre-dame, they would settle for the next best thing, which was to work at a Notre-Dame. Even if they had to do odd jobs, they were willing to do so.
Although the high scholar class and the high scholar class were also part of the academy, they were actually part of the capital's literary academy. The status of these two classes was far below that of the high scholar class and the high scholar class.
The horse carriage stopped outside a courtyard. Fang Yun carried his backpack and got off the carriage. He raised his head and looked at the entrance of the courtyard.
There was a plaque hanging on the door with the words "Third Grade Heaven" written on it. Fang Yun smiled slightly, and with some nostalgia, he translated these two words into "Third Grade Heaven Class" in his heart.
According to the military timetable, classes should start at 7.30 am. Fang Yun arrived at 7.20 am, and felt that it was neither too early nor too late. However, when he entered the courtyard and walked into the classroom, he saw that it was filled with students. They were all High Scholars dressed in black robes.
This classroom wasn't an ordinary room, but more like a small palace. The facilities were excellent, and even the desks were made of expensive wood.
Fang Yun wanted to take a closer look, but someone whispered, "Fang Wen Hou". All the High Scholars stood up and were even more excited than when they saw the teacher enter.
"Greetings, Fang Wen Hou!"
The thirty or so High Scholar students all bowed in unison to greet him.
90% of the High Scholars' gazes were hot enough to melt steel.
Fang Yun scanned the crowd. These people were all adults, and none of them were below the age of twenty. There were even some who were in their thirties or forties. These people's identities were far more complicated than the Elementary Scholars in the academy.
Fang Yun didn't bow. Instead, he clasped his hands and smiled, "Everyone is too polite. Since we are all studying at the academy, let's address each other as fellow students. If we were to go by our official ranks, every time you greet me with a greeting of "Hello teacher", you would have to greet me with a greeting of "Hello Wen Hou". "
The class burst into laughter.
"However, in order not to be reported when I play truant in the future, I have decided to bribe all of you. After school in the afternoon, I will treat all of you to dinner. Fellow students from the capital, please help me choose a place to eat. As long as you don't order dragon liver or phoenix gall, anything is fine! "Fang Yun smiled.
When everyone heard this, they knew that Fang Yun was using these words to express his goodwill. He really treated these people as fellow students. If Fang Yun didn't say a word or even didn't get along with the group, then the entire class would be in trouble. Fang Yun's identity was too special, and these High Scholars weren't children. They knew how important the relationship between fellow students was. It was almost like being in the same party.
Fellow students, fellow students, fellow students and fellow students were known as the Four Peers. After entering the imperial court, these relationships were the most cohesive.
In order to be in the same class as Fang Yun, more than half of the High Scholars had used their family connections.
Furthermore, many of them understood the hidden meaning behind Fang Yun's words.
"Brother Fang, you said it yourself! Since it's a banquet for thirty people, then let's choose the Shanghe Restaurant in the capital. After the first class ends, I will get someone to book it! "A person with a capital accent said.
"Thank you, fellow student. Everyone must come. I don't want to be the only one facing a few tables of dishes." Fang Yun said as he smiled and scanned the crowd.
"Of course, of course!"
"I will eat until you're broke!"
"Fang Zhenguo invited us. Whoever doesn't go will hurt the friendship between fellow students. I, Shi Xingshan, will be the first to disagree!" This person laughed and looked at the others.
Everyone's heart trembled. Everyone here knew that Shi Xingshan was the grandson of the head of the Noble Shi Clan. His mother was the daughter of the head of the Noble Zhang Heng Clan. His status was extremely high. His words were very clear. Since Fang Yun was treating, everyone had to give face. If anyone didn't, even if Fang Yun didn't care, he would still make a move.
Although many people in the High Scholar class had extraordinary family backgrounds, no one was able to suppress the son of the Noble Shi Clan.
Shi Xingshan's gaze paused on the faces of a few people. Those people were all in the Left Minister's or Sangfroid's faction.
The rest of the people also looked at them. Some of their gazes were very unfriendly. It was as if if those people didn't agree, they wouldn't be able to be classmates in the future.
Those people could only give a positive answer, indicating that they must attend this banquet.
"Since no one has any objections, then it's decided. Fang Yun, if you are interested in the capital's food, I can help. However, I must accompany you! "Shi Xingshan laughed.
"Okay."
Everyone laughed together.
Fang Yun smiled and walked to the back of the classroom.
Many people saw Fang Yun's choice of seat and immediately understood that Fang Yun would do what a student in the class should do. However, it was best not to disturb him.
When the time came, the teacher came to class. After the lesson was over and the break was over, everyone secretly looked at Fang Yun. If Fang Yun was busy reading, they wouldn't disturb him. If Fang Yun was free, someone would immediately go over to chat with him.
By the afternoon, everyone had gradually adapted to this class. They also knew that Fang Yun was no different from the other students. He was just a little quieter.
After school in the afternoon, the entire class went to Upper River Restaurant for a gathering. This gathering wasn't very lively and the duration was very short. It was only a short two hours, but it was a very good start.
After eating this meal, many people felt incomparably at ease.
Fang Yun was willing to take the initiative to treat everyone to a meal. The underlying intention was that he was willing to accept these classmates as part of his team in the future. This was the clearest sign of recruitment.
After the first day, Fang Yun became an ordinary student. He didn't miss any of the group activities and did everything that ordinary students were supposed to do. He didn't bully others or have a particularly close relationship with anyone.
The days passed peacefully. On the 20th of September, Fang Yun and the other ten Upper House Scholars had an extra lesson to learn how to participate in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament. The teacher was the Grand Secretary, Guo Zitong.
On the morning of the 30th of September, Jingguo's Grand Secretary, Guo Zitong, and two other Hanlin Scholars led the ten Upper House Scholars to Kong City on a flying boat.
