Chapter 280

"Naturally, it's a palace test!"

Fang Tianguang looked at Lin Xiao respectfully and said, "although the imperial examination system is to select officials for the Daquan Dynasty, your majesty still needs to look at it in the end. However, your majesty is busy and has no time to observe too many people. Therefore, only tianbang talents can participate in the fifth round!"

"Yes!"

After listening to Fang Tianguang's narration, Lin Xiao nodded and ordered him: "the prime minister and Ziya are very considerate. Let's follow your instructions for the process of the imperial examination system! I hope I can see talents who satisfy me in the palace examination in a few months!"

"Of course!"

Fang Tianguang heard the speech and nodded.

After sending Fang Tianguang away, Lin Xiao entered the time crack in the mustard space and began his own cultivation and perception.

Lin Xiao learned a lot from his experience in beishouyuan. In addition, he found many valuable medicinal materials in beishouyuan, which made him refine a lot of pills, which is also of great benefit to his cultivation.

During the three months of the imperial examination system, while dealing with the large and small affairs of the Daquan Dynasty, Lin Xiao tried his best to cultivate in the crack of time, and his accomplishments also improved a lot.

Of course, in addition to the improvement of cultivation, Lin Xiao is also trying to improve his alchemy technology.

With the improvement of the strength of him and the soldiers of xiaotianying, the effect of the 'heaven level' pill he refined has become smaller and smaller. If he wants to really work, he must refine the 'immortal level' pill!

However, the road from heaven level alchemist to immortal level Alchemist is not so easy. To put it more seriously, it is a natural moat!

An ordinary alchemist may not be able to break through this natural moat all his life, but Lin Xiao is different. He has "alchemy" in his hand and the assistance of "Shennong Ding" and magic flame. It is not difficult to break through.

In only ten years, he broke through from heaven level alchemist to immortal level alchemist!

This decade is a decade in the crack of time. Only one day has passed outside. If others know it, they will lose their big teeth.

However, the medicinal materials needed for "immortal level" pills are also more valuable. Even if Lin Xiao was promoted to an immortal level alchemist, there are not many "immortal level" pills refined, so he did not let others know. Only his direct subordinates are qualified to know about it.

With the "immortal" pill, Lin Xiao's breakthrough accelerated.

"Ding! Congratulations on raising the host to the fifth floor of the earth fairy! Reward the host [heaven and earth] once!"

Just one night before the palace test, Lin Xiao finally broke through the fifth floor of the earth fairy and officially entered the middle and late stage of the earth fairy land, which is a miracle for a man in his twenties!

Although there are many young friars in the northern region, most of them just look young, but their actual age is much older than Lin Xiao!

A talent like Lin Xiao, even if you look at the whole northern region, can be regarded as a demon!

As for this "heaven and earth creation", Lin Xiao is not in a hurry to use it. It may be more effective to temporarily maximize the use when there is danger.

"Congratulations, your majesty!"

Promoted to the fifth floor of the earth fairy, Lin Xiao returned to the hall from the time crack. Fang Tianguang just came in to report to Lin Xiao. He was surprised to notice the breakthrough of Lin Xiao's cultivation.

"Yes."

Lin Xiao nodded calmly, made a look of normal operation, and looked at Fang Tianguang: "what's the matter with the prime minister coming to me late at night?"

"I'm here to report to your majesty. Tomorrow is the palace exam!"

Fang Tianguang saluted Lin Xiao with a happy expression on his face and continued: "these selected talents are excellent, especially the first in the list. They are definitely talents!"

For the 15 people who entered the tianbang, Fang Tianguang has met in private.

These people can be called young and promising. They are very knowledgeable and have great opinions on the way of governing the country, which is much better than many officials of the Daquan Dynasty.

In particular, Zhou Zibin, who ranked first, impressed Fang Tianguang and even thought of himself when he was young.

Hearing Fang Tianguang's words, Lin Xiao hooked his lips, picked his eyebrow and said, "if you can make the prime minister so optimistic, I'll have a good look tomorrow!"

……

At the same time, in the largest restaurant in Tianquan City, a handsome young man was slowly tasting wine. Beside him stood an old man in gray clothes and white hair.

He was looking at the handsome childe with worry on his face, and said earnestly: "childe, you have won the first place in the list of heaven and been appreciated by the prime minister, which is enough to prove your strength! Our identity can't be exposed, so it's better to leave Tianquan city as soon as possible!"

not bad

This childe is no one else. It is Zhou Zibin who ranks first in the imperial examination.

Hearing the old man's words, Zhou Zibin smiled gently and said to the old man, "Uncle Wang, the first place on the tianbang list is not the literary champion. Only after passing the palace examination can I get the literary champion! What's more, I also want to see what the new king who robbed our Zhou family is like!"

"Young master, be careful!"

Hearing the speech, the old man frowned, lowered his voice and said, "as early as a hundred years ago, our Zhou Dynasty had destroyed Lin Xiaotian and Wang batian! Now Wang batian was killed by Lin Xiaotian's descendants. It has been so long. It's not good for anyone to mention it again at this time!"

"I know."

Zhou Zibin looked at the old man, sighed and said, "if Wang batian continues to be in power, I still have an excuse to make a comeback, but now Lin Xiao manages Daquan Dynasty very well. I really can't find a reason to return to Zhou. Don't worry, Uncle Wang, I just want to see Lin Xiao's power this time. I have no other ideas!"

"But the childe's identity..."

The old man sighed with some worry when he heard the speech.

As the saying goes, "every man is innocent and cherishes his sins". Although Zhou Zibin does not have the heart of disobedience, his identity as the prince of the Zhou Dynasty is there. If someone with a heart knows it, how can Lin Xiao accommodate him!

"Uncle Wang, don't worry. No one will know!"

Zhou Zibin looked at the old man and said with a bitter smile: "you have already said that the Zhou Dynasty has perished for a hundred years. I'm afraid the people here have forgotten the existence of the Zhou Dynasty. How can they doubt my identity?"

"This... All right!"

There are still some concerns in the old man's heart, but seeing Zhou Zibin's insistence, the old man has no way but to warn: "anyway, you should be careful. After all, our identity is special!"

"Don't worry, I have discretion!"

Zhou Zibin drank the wine in the cup and said to the old man.
