"Your Majesty!" Ren Baqian gave her two kadsura fruits, and the empress gave him another one.
Ren Baqian felt that this was a good habit.
There weren't many kadsura fruits. During their break every day, as long as it wasn't raining heavily, the students would go to the forest to hunt for the kadsura fruits.
However, they only brought back six kadsura fruits at one time.
At the very least, there were two kadsura fruits.
Ren Baqian only found out at this time that the kadsura fruits grew in pairs.
Generally, a tree could only grow six kadsura fruits at most. Because of this output, the number of kadsura fruits was very small.
This made Ren Baqian feel somewhat regretful.
However, there was good news, at least for the students.
According to this progress, the full score for the final exam should still be 400 points.
To encourage them to continue searching for the kadsura fruits, Ren Baqian told them a piece of good news. The top three students in this year's exam would be rewarded with a certificate of merit.
They could paste it on the wall at home. It was high-end and classy.
These were the top three students in the Black Bamboo Academy and represented a glorious future.
These words weren't completely deceiving them. After all, they were the first batch of students and could be considered high-level intellectuals in Dayao. Those who could get into the top three would be put in an important position in the future.
Of course, even if they couldn't get into the top three, they would still be put in an important position.
Not only for this batch, but also for the next few years.
Dayao had a huge shortage of talents. From the central government to the local governments, they lacked a lot of talents.
Especially in order to advance the technological development of Dayao, a small number of such talents wouldn't be of much use.
Along the way, besides kadsura fruits, there were all kinds of novel things that he hadn't seen in Lan City.
For example, there was a three-foot-long strange snake with a bump on its head. At first, Ren Baqian thought it was a flood dragon. Later on, he found out that this snake was called Xi Xia. It liked to appear in the evening, so it was called Xi Xia.
After the bump on its head was cut open, a jelly-like red substance came out. It was called Dan Hong.
It was said that eating this substance was very good for nourishing the spirit.
A guard handed this substance to the empress, and she threw it to him.
It tasted like jelly, but the taste was a little lighter.
As for the reaction after eating … there was no reaction at all.
However, after he finished eating, the metal chain drilled out from the top of his head and coiled around his body again and again, wrapping him up like a cocoon.
After the initial shock, the empress immediately laughed out loud. After all, it was rare for her to be tied up by the iron chain in her brain.
With a smile on her face, she watched as Ren Baqian fell to the ground and rubbed against it like a big bug.
At that time, Ren Baqian felt like cursing.
I was hoping that you would be able to tie others up in the future, but I didn't expect that you would be tying me up instead. What use do I have for you?
Prior to this, Ren Baqian had always felt that as long as he attained the Spirit Wheel level and was able to use this metal chain, he would at least be able to have more fun, such as tying things up.
But reality proved that this iron chain was even more of a scam than he had imagined.
Thinking about it, if he were to fight someone in the future and this thing tied him up, he wouldn't be able to die in peace.
Unfortunately, this metal chain had already taken root in his mind. Before he reached the Spirit Wheel level, there was no way to remove it from his mind.
"Your Majesty …" In the end, Ren Baqian looked at the empress innocently for help. After the empress was done laughing, she grabbed one end of the metal chain and shook it. Immediately, the metal chain retracted as if it had been electrocuted.
What he didn't know was that after he finished eating the Danhong, there was a slight change in his sea of knowledge. This change made the metal chain feel uncomfortable, so it drilled out and tied him up tightly.
Along the way, not only did he see all kinds of rare fruits and strange beasts, but he also saw some villages and towns.
Even some of the styles and habits of the villages and towns were somewhat different from what he had seen before.
For example, as he went further south, many villages and towns liked to decorate the surface of their houses with all kinds of feathers, making them look colorful and extremely beautiful.
As for the aboriginals in these villages and towns, their foreheads were slightly larger, their appearances more ferocious, and their strength was also slightly higher.
"It seems to be a little different from the north." As these characteristics became more and more obvious, Ren Baqian began to have doubts.
"There are a lot of Heishan people here," the empress said faintly and explained in detail to Ren Baqian.
The so-called Heishan people was the name of a region in the Sixty Thousand Mountains.
The aboriginals in the north should be called the Yanta people, and they all moved here from the periphery of the Sixty Thousand Mountains.
The so-called Heishan people lived in the deeper regions.
Not only were there Heishan people, but there were also the Akayu people and the Shuiyunze people.
In the Sixty Thousand Mountains, there were also many kinds of aboriginals. Most of them were villages in a large area and were named after this area.
The Yanta people were called the Yanta people, and the Heishan people were called the Heishan people. The Akayu and Shuiyunze people were the same.
As a result, even though they were all aboriginals, there were still many differences in terms of customs and appearance, in addition to some similarities.
Just like China on Earth, people of the same race in different regions had slight differences in appearance, height, and customs.
This was the first time Ren Baqian heard of this, and it was somewhat novel.
However, there was one thing that was similar, and that was fighting.
Originally, a few aboriginals were quarreling at the front, causing half of the courtyard wall to collapse. When the empress's imperial carriage arrived, the few of them immediately separated and surrounded the empress's imperial carriage.
Not long after the carriage had passed, they continued to fight.
Everyone was used to it, including the empress. As a result, no one considered whether they were disrespectful or not.
If the big shots in the imperial court were like this, how good could the atmosphere among the people be?
In the eyes of the aboriginals, there was nothing that couldn't be solved with a beating. If there was, then they would just beat it twice.
"Eh? What a familiar wooden pillar … "
In a town, Ren Baqian rode on a fork-horned cow and looked at the crowd in the distance. Suddenly, a towering wooden pillar in the crowd attracted his attention. It was as eye-catching as a firefly in the night.
That height, that thickness, and that it could move — it was clearly the one he had seen on the road.
Other than him, most people wouldn't walk around with a wooden pillar that was thicker and longer than a person, right?
As the carriage moved forward, he found that the wooden pillar was moving away from the crowd and soon turned into an alley.
However, even though the wooden pillar was behind a wall, it was still as bright as a firefly in the night …
This was because it was too tall. The person and the wooden pillar were a full four meters tall.
"Very interesting." Ren Baqian smiled. He was still very interested in these sword masters.
He didn't expect to see that guy again.
Unfortunately, the other party didn't seem to want to meet them.
This wasn't difficult to understand. After all, the empress was the empress of Dayao and one of the top experts in the world.
