Shen Qian was truly shocked; this was a monster at the Mountain and Sea Realm!

No wonder such a small amount is close to thirty W.

"The dragon rhinoceros is known for its powerful mental strength, so this soup will make you clear-headed and sharp-witted after drinking it, and strengthen your will. Wouldn't that be great for tomorrow's exam?" Ouyang Fei said with a smile.

“No wonder it’s called ‘The Immortal Points the Way’.” Shen Qian nodded in agreement.

“Take a close look at the first and second floors. Aren’t there mostly young people? I bet a lot of them are this year’s test takers.” Gu Zifang gestured with her chin toward the surrounding area.

Shen Qian had actually noticed it earlier, but now it dawned on him that everyone had come for this "Immortal's Guidance".

"But the taste is really just so-so, not as good as this chestnut juice," Shen Qian smacked his lips and commented.

“What chestnuts? Those are called ‘cherries.’ They’re said to have been a rare fruit before the catastrophe!” Gu Zifang corrected.

“That’s Geng Qianqiu, the new disciple of Lord Kunhu this year!” Ouyang Fei suddenly pointed to the opposite side.

Looking to the side, across the second-floor corridor, at another table with a stunning view, sat a group of young people. The person in the main seat was a boy with a buzz cut and sharply defined eyebrows.

Seemingly noticing Shen Qian's gaze, the young man looked up, and after recognizing Shen Qian, he was taken aback. He then chuckled and raised his glass to Shen Qian.

He politely raised his glass before going to bed.

"How do you feel about him?" Ouyang Fei asked Shen Qian curiously.

"Well, he's not as good as Wang Shuo," Shen Qian said honestly.

"How do you know?" Gu Zifang raised an eyebrow.

"I guess it is."

Shen Qian smiled but didn't know how to explain.

The result of strong mental power is that each person will form a vague feedback in their consciousness.

It's like that unique aura of mountains and seas, which is easy to capture before sinking.

As he became more familiar with this perception, he reached the point where he could make a preliminary judgment on the general strength of each person.

In his opinion, Geng Qianqiu was inferior to Wang Shuo.

"Not only people from Tongcheng, but also those two perverts from Mingcheng and Li Jiaqi from Xicheng are here. It's really lively tonight."

The other boy sitting next to me went to the restroom and came back to report what he had seen.

"It seems everyone knew about the 'Dragon Rhinoceros Soup' today, except for us who didn't book a table in advance. Luckily, Shen Qian was here," Gu Zifang said regretfully.

What was that sound?

As everyone was enjoying their meal, Ouyang Fei suddenly looked up in surprise.

Shen Qian heard it too.

It was a sound similar to birdsong, but exceptionally beautiful, and as everyone looked up, the sound continued to draw closer.

Not only did Shen Qian's table hear this, but most of the people dining in Jiutian Pavilion looked up in surprise.

A sudden gust of wind arose, and to everyone's astonishment, a bird with pure white feathers, resembling a dove but even more agile, fluttered its wings and swept in through the window of the Nine Heavens Pavilion, leaving trails of colorful light along its path, and flew straight towards the table where the Tongcheng examinees were sitting.

"A message from a spirit pigeon?" Gu Zifang asked in surprise. "What happened?"

Shen Qian also looked over curiously. The so-called "spirit pigeon message" is a high-end way of delivering letters in the postal industry. It is expensive but quite prestigious and is generally used to show off. Shen Qian had seen it a few times in Jingcheng.

Geng Qianqiu was also somewhat surprised. He let the spirit pigeon land on his shoulder and then removed the gold leaf tied to the pigeon's leg.

The gold leaf ignited upon contact, transforming into a rainbow in mid-air, clearly visible to everyone inside the restaurant.

"Dear Mr. Geng Qianqiu, 'Qianxing Society' extends its sincerest greetings to you and formally invites you to join our society in order to share resources and grow together. If you do not agree to this invitation, you may cancel it at any branch of the Huaxia Martial Arts Association within seven days."

To: Huaxia Martial Arts Association, Qianxing Society

After a brief silence, a commotion erupted in the restaurant.

"It's an invitation from the Thousand Stars Society!"

"Is it really this early this year?"

"Impressive! He received an invitation from the Thousand Star Society even before the college entrance exam was over. No wonder he's a disciple chosen by Lord Kunhu..."

The crowd was amazed and discussing, and Ouyang Fei and others were also impressed, but only the rather rustic Shen Qian was puzzled.

What is the Thousand Star Society?

Gu Zifang was now completely convinced that Shen Qian was a grassroots success story, so she wasn't surprised that he was unaware of the truth and quickly began to explain.

Suddenly, I realized what was happening.

The so-called Thousand Star Society is a loosely affiliated organization under the name of the Chinese Martial Arts Association, but in reality, it has little to do with the Chinese Martial Arts Association.

The Thousand Stars Society has a long history, founded ninety years ago. It was initially initiated by a group of top geniuses from the four major universities and invited renowned geniuses from universities across the country to join.

At its peak, the Thousand Stars Society boasted a thousand top geniuses, which made it famous and it was once hailed as the "Number One Youth Society" and the "Cradle of Mountain and Sea Warriors."

The main problem is that I never paid attention to these things before, otherwise I wouldn't have never even heard of their names.

After a century of development, the influence of the Thousand Star Society has grown stronger, and contemporary youth are proud to join it.

The Thousand Star Society has gradually developed strict rules, accepting only geniuses and primarily targeting first-year university students, as well as some high school graduates who performed exceptionally well in the college entrance examination.

"In short, although you will automatically leave the club after graduating from university, the accumulated bond between generations means that the strength behind this club is considerable."

Finally, Gu Zifang made the above summary.

"Oh, so Geng Qianqiu is one of those 'particularly outstanding high school graduates'."

He nodded in realization.

"It's strange. In previous years, Chisei-sha would only start sending out invitations after the college entrance exams were over, but this year they started right after the first exam..."

Ouyang Fei stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

"I guess they must have obtained the physical fitness test scores of some people in advance through some channel. In fact, physical fitness can reveal a lot, so it's not surprising."

Gu Zifang rested her chin on her hand, gazing at the radiant Geng Qianqiu, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"No need to guess."

At this moment, a girl named Meng Yun, who sat next to me, raised her wristband and said, "I just checked, a former member of the Thousand Stars Club is now the director of a department in the Ministry of Education!"

Everyone suddenly realized, and Chen Peng laughed, "I think this invitation is definitely not over yet. I'm sure some of us will receive an invitation too, right?"

Everyone instinctively looked towards Chen Qian, who seemed to have the best chance.
