"Ying Qingyue thanks Your Majesty for your grace."

A beautiful, otherworldly woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in white, stepped forward and thanked Li Jing for his kindness.

Li Jing stared at Ying Qingyue, his heart filled with surprise.

He finally understood why Ying Qingyue was physically weak, unable to practice martial arts, and even predicted by countless divine physicians from the Burial Grounds of Immortals that she would not live to the age of twenty.

A mind with seven orifices, exquisitely clever!

This is a talent far more terrifying than being born with a natural physique!

Possessing the qualities of a sage!

Only a sage can have seven orifices in his heart!

If one possesses an innate physique, one is destined to reach the pinnacle of martial arts and may even attain immortality.

Therefore, a person with a seven-aperture exquisite heart has the potential to become a saint!

It was precisely because of her exceptional intelligence that Ying Qingyue was physically weak and unable to practice martial arts.

This is the jealousy of heaven and earth!

Heaven and Earth do not want Ying Qingyue to embark on the path of martial arts, and even less do they want her to become a saint.

So, what is the best approach?

This resulted in her having a weak constitution from birth, making her unable to practice martial arts, and even preventing her from living to the age of twenty!

Li Jing was utterly shocked. In his previous life, as the Primordial Sword God of the Eastern Wilderness, he had never heard of anyone possessing such heaven-defying talent as the Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart.

We've obtained a great treasure!

Li Jing was overjoyed.

He paused for a moment, then looked at Ying Qingyue with a serious expression and said, "Ying Qingyue, you are blessed with the finest qualities of heaven and earth, exceptionally intelligent, and possess extraordinary talent. I hereby appoint you as the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel of my Taichu Dynasty!"

"..."

The faces of the Grand Secretary Yan Changqing and others were filled with shock. They had never expected that Li Jing would directly appoint Ying Qingyue as the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel of the Taichu Dynasty.

It should be noted that the Ministry of Personnel was the head of the six ministries in the Taichu Dynasty.

They guessed that Li Jing would definitely give important positions to the top ten candidates in this year's imperial examination.

They were well aware of this long ago.

And the top ten in this imperial examination were indeed all exceptionally talented.

What they didn't expect was that Li Jing directly appointed Ying Qingyue as the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the head of the Six Ministries.

A meteoric rise to power!

Compared to Zhong Shenxiu becoming the Minister of Personnel, the head of the Six Ministries, Yan Changqing and others were not surprised.

Zhong Shenxiu was a man of extraordinary talent, and he served as prime minister for fifty years, possessing unparalleled experience in governing the country.

But what about Ying Qingyue?

But can a seventeen-year-old girl, lacking experience, really be competent for the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?

Even with the great gift presented by Marquis Ying Hao of Zhao to the Taichu Dynasty, shouldn't he first undergo some training before being granted the position of Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?

Yan Changqing and others did not expect this, nor did tens of thousands of examinees.

Tens of thousands of candidates stared at Li Jing with a mixture of shock and surprise.

As the top scholar, Ying Qingyue rose directly to become the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel in the Taichu Dynasty. Even if these people were not as good as Ying Qingyue, they should also be able to be valued by Li Jing, right?

"Your humble servant thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness."

Ying Qingyue knelt down before Li Jing and spoke with utmost respect.

Boom!

As soon as she finished speaking, Ying Qingyue felt a connection to the Investiture of the Gods of the Primordial Dynasty and unhesitatingly separated a wisp of her soul to enter it.

As soon as she entered, the power of the Primordial Dynasty's fortune enveloped Ying Qingyue, making her body feel as if it had been reborn. She felt more relaxed and comfortable than ever before.

It was as if the barrier between myself and the world had been broken down in an instant.

Ying Qingyue was overjoyed. She realized that she wouldn't die before she turned twenty.

All her ailments will be completely gone. Her current physical condition is sufficient for her to cultivate martial arts and become a true martial arts cultivator!

Ying Qingyue even felt that the world in her eyes was undergoing a huge change. The rules of heaven and earth seemed to become extremely clear in her eyes, and she could see the rules of the operation of heaven and earth.

Of course, Ying Qingyue knew that this was just an illusion she had after breaking free from her shackles and gaining a new life.

Don't tell me she hasn't practiced martial arts yet; she's just an ordinary person.

Even if she has truly cultivated martial arts and become a martial arts cultivator, the rules of heaven and earth are not something an ordinary martial arts cultivator like her can dabble in, unless she has reached the true end of martial arts.

No need for formalities.

Li Jing said calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ying Qingyue slowly stood up, and at this moment her temperament became even more ethereal and stunning, as if a fairy had descended to earth.

"I hereby announce that the second-place winner in this civil service examination, the runner-up in the civil service examination, is Jun Lingzhao."

Li Jing spoke in a deep and powerful voice.

"Jun Lingzhao thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness."

A handsome young man in white robes, with an exceptionally noble air, stepped out from among tens of thousands of examinees and thanked Li Jing.

"No need for such formalities."

Li Jing waved his hand and said, "Jun Lingzhao, do you want me to appoint you directly, or do you want to participate in the imperial examination and martial arts test, and then enter the court as an official based on your martial arts test results?"

From the moment he learned that Jun Lingzhao was actually Princess Zhao Lingjun of the Yue Kingdom, a remarkable woman who led an army, he guessed that Zhao Lingjun had come to the Taichu Dynasty to participate in the imperial examination.

Although she registered for both the written and martial arts exams, she valued the martial arts exam the most.

He wanted to win the martial arts exam, become the champion, and then join the army of the Taichu Dynasty.

What she truly desires is to one day become the commander of the Yao Guang Legion, named after the Big Dipper.

After all, the Taichu Dynasty now has six legions, and seven legions named after the Big Dipper. Only the Yaoguang Legion has not yet been established.
