Chapter 198: The New King of Qingji Sect
The system closed its eyes and felt the flow of the wind. After a while, it said with mixed feelings of sadness and joy: "The male protagonist has entered the Qingji Sect!"
"The hero has entered the Qingji Sect! Did you hear that?"
Ning Mingmei grimaced at the sudden noise, then he covered his ears with his hands and said, "I saw it a long time ago."
System: “How is this possible!”
Ning Mingmei opened his phone and said, "The White Jade Step Qualification Test System is connected to the Internet. The moment he walked down the White Jade Steps, I received a push notification."
system:……
Today is Sunday, and Ning Mingmei is curled up comfortably on the sofa - so comfortable that anyone who sees Ning Mingmei's current appearance would call him a bourgeois extravagant person.
The recliner he is leaning against is specially made and ergonomically designed for him; the marble coffee table is independently designed; the coffee on the table was ground by hand by disciples who conducted research in the back mountain; the blanket he is leaning against is the softest part of rabbit fur, and even the coat hanging next to it is made of rippled cashmere.
In addition, there are incense, music, and large floor-to-ceiling glass windows overlooking Piaomiao Peak... Anyone who sees this scene will say it is luxurious and decadent.
Ning Mingmei seemed to know what the system was going to say. He said, "I live like this in modern times."
The food must be of high quality, the suits must be tailor-made, the whole literary style of the petty bourgeois youth.
system:……
"The people in the Elders' Council have constrained you a lot over the years, but you can still take it easy now." said the system.
"Life has to go on," Ning Mingmei said, "It's February now, the college entrance exam is in June, the admission to graduate school and the high school summer camp are in July, and the postgraduate entrance exam is in December... Following this set of procedures, the people in the Elders' Council will have to wait for several years if they want to take Lian Chengyue into their pockets."
The system breathed a sigh of relief: "This is quite lucky..."
Ning Mingmei: "Isn't this exactly the purpose of my setting up these rules?"
He put the coffee cup on the table. "The Elders want to compete with me for status, talent, respect for the past, and restoration of rituals. Their intention to respect for the past is fake, and their real intention is to gain benefits. Over the years, the disciples have been doing things for the sake of benefits. How many people will be missing from their tributes? They are getting anxious now."
"But the essence of cultivating immortals is still cultivating immortals. Whoever has a better method, whoever can provide more resources to the disciples, whoever can make the disciples' cultivation level rise faster and higher, will be the beacon in the disciples' hearts. In terms of resources, the supreme elders have lived thousands of years longer than me, so their foundation is naturally higher than mine. But in terms of cultivation methods, I am better. Therefore, the only thing that is most worth competing for is the source of students. Just like where I lived in my previous life, the local high schools competed for students and practiced "picking the best". The students who were picked out had scores that were several levels higher than ordinary students. It is also common sense that they get better scores than ordinary students in the college entrance examination. They took the flowers that were already blooming beautifully and put them in the vase, but said that from the seeds to the flowers to the current beauty, it was all their achievements. Students and teachers are supposed to achieve each other. It's ridiculous that some people regard everything about their students as their own."
"What the Elders want to do now is to find a student with extraordinary qualifications, pour all the resources that should belong to all the students into him alone, and use him to create a god. The students look at this golden statue and think that they can be like him. After entering the school, they realize that they are just a stepping stone for others. But those supreme elders still have to praise their teacher." Ning Mingmei said, "So, they rely on their own connections to recruit disciples with extraordinary qualifications from all over the country in advance. Now that the results of the qualification test are out, Lian Chengyue should be their latest target."
"You seem to be very troubled by the recent rumors and the trouble they have caused you?" The system suddenly asked, "In this case, do you want to try some new methods?"
Ning Mingmei: "Are you so kind?"
"As your system, I will certainly help you solve your problems!" The system promised, "Look, over the years, you asked me to write a management system, and I did. You asked me to write a log, and I did. Although there is still no mall or membership shopping..."
The system coughed and said, "But our goal is mutual benefit and win-win!"
Ning Mingmei said: "Then tell me, which new method is better?"
The system said: "For example... adding some publicity methods?"
Ning Mingmei looked at the billboard outside: "Isn't this enough?"
The system's voice suddenly became somewhat ambiguous: "Ning Mingmei, although you say it very coldly, your actions have indeed promoted the development of the world of immortal cultivation."
“…”
"In that case, why don't you talk more about the good things you have done?"
The system stops there. Ning Mingmei sat on the ergonomic sofa, tapping his fingers lightly on the coffee table.
"I still have a long life ahead of me, so I'll have some time to fight those old monsters. It's a bit boring to be away from Qingji Sect during this period of time." Ning Mingmei said to himself, "In that case, let me enjoy it..."
Lian Chengyue’s life today.
The pain of being pierced by the sword still lingers in my heart. Ning Mingmei suddenly curled the corners of his lips. He looked at the blurry figure in the simulated situation who had an elegant smile and looked at him like an insect, and said:
"Welcome to the ropes I set for you."
…
"You also want to enter Piaomiao Peak?"
Adai did not feel the slightest sense of crisis at Lian Chengyue's sincere but modest outburst, but instead chuckled.
After all, in her eyes, isn’t it too outrageous for an apprentice disciple, a primary school student... to compete with her for a place in the postgraduate entrance examination?
Therefore, Ada was happy to teach him some life experience. In the original novel, the two people who were the male protagonist and the fangirl were now sitting in the Qingji Sect's milk tea shop. Outside the milk tea shop stood a human-shaped stand of a disciple from Jade Maiden Peak. Because she won the sect's top ten singers competition, she was the shop's latest spokesperson. Adai bought herself a cup of sugar-free milk tea and ordered a cup of full-sugar Ovaltine for Lian Chengyue.
Lian Chengyue took a sip of this dark... special drink of Qingji Sect, and his expression remained unchanged because his tongue was numbed by the sweetness. Shi Ruzhuo couldn't be overwhelmed by the sweetness because he couldn't taste Ovaltine. But now he has been shocked by what he saw and heard in Qingji Sect, so he doesn't care about this.
Adai said: "You are a primary school student..."
Lian Chengyue said: "Senior sister, I heard that disciples of Qingji Sect can directly take the college entrance examination. I am now in the middle stage of foundation building, so I should be qualified to take the college entrance examination, don't you think?"
...the middle stage of foundation building! A man who came up through self-taught methods and is in the middle stage of foundation building, and is still so young, would be a rare genius in a family of immortal cultivators!
If this place was the Qingji Sect fifty years ago, the person sitting opposite Lian Chengyue would be another disciple. At this moment, he would have begun to feel jealous and framed Long Aotian. But Adai just raised her eyebrows—she was a little jealous—and then said, "You mean, you want to take the exam without preparation?"
Lian Chengyue said: "No, Senior Sister, I will take the exam with my clothes on."
…Ada breathed.
Adai asked, "Do you know what the college entrance examination is about?"
Lian Chengyue: "...Measure your cultivation? Have a competition?"
"You are only partially right." A'dai said seriously, "The college entrance examination in our world of immortal cultivation is to test--"
"Six subjects in total!"
"First, there are three main subjects. Language, mathematics and body movements. First of all, every monk must learn language. This not only helps monks communicate with other monks, but also prevents monks from going astray because they cannot understand the secret manuals, chanting the wrong spells and cursing others to death, writing the wrong runes and leading the wrong route, and not being able to write essays and unable to compile their own secret manuals... You know this, right?"
Lian Chengyue said: "Senior Sister, I think this subject is very meaningful."
"As for mathematics, there is no need to explain. Math is the foundation of everything. Here, we have to take exams on programming and graphics. You will know once you learn it." Adai said, "As for body movements, it depends on your cultivation, the degree of your body training, and how well you practice your steps... Of course, we also have various language exams here. The more popular languages at present are the common language of the demon world and the common Yin language of the ghost world. As for the ancient gods' language and the languages of various demon tribes... they are considered minor languages. If you can get these certificates, you can get extra points in the independent enrollment of the college entrance examination."
Lian Chengyue listened attentively and took notes.
Adai said: "Then there are comprehensive subjects. In our world of immortal cultivation, there are many comprehensive subjects to choose from. For example, the three subjects that sword cultivators have to choose are completely different from the three subjects that magic cultivators have to choose..."
Lian Chengyue said: "Senior Sister, I want to be a sword cultivator, so what three subjects do I need to learn?"
Adai looked at him and said, "That's the sword theory, sword transformation and biology."
The theory of sword allows sword practitioners to know the physical properties of the sword, and understand the movement of the sword, the speed and acceleration of the sword, and the thermodynamic properties related to the sword.
Sword transformation allows sword practitioners to understand the chemical properties and casting methods of the sword, as well as the reaction between the sword and various spells.
Living things allow sword practitioners to understand themselves and other living things, so as to better achieve the state of unity between man and sword.
The three main subjects are worth 150 points each, and the three minor subjects add up to 300 points. So the total is 750 points.
The outer sect disciples’ college entrance examination scores basically determine whether they can enter the inner sect, and their fate after entering. If the inner gate line is 580, then even if some disciples score 581 and barely get into the inner gate, they can only obey the deployment and go to places that no other disciples are willing to go.
For example, the gatekeeper at Siguo Cliff, the laundry department...these places have scarce spiritual energy and no money. In addition to the inner sect's learning tasks, the disciples also have to complete the work tasks in these places. If this continues, how can they graduate... no, climb up again?
Nowadays, the score lines are getting more and more competitive every year. Lian Chengyue calculated that if he wanted to enter the place he wanted to go, he would at least have to take an exam...
Adai: "The pass mark for the Library is 685, and the pass mark for the Gongshan Hall is 680."
Lian Chengyue: ...
The twelve main peaks are not included in the college entrance examination candidates' choices. In other words, even if you are lucky enough to get a job there, you can only be called "under the peak". There is only one word difference between the disciples of Piaomiao Peak and the disciples below Piaomiao Peak, but there is a huge difference between them.
Moreover, the treatment at Piaomiao Peak may not be as good as that at the Library and Gongshan Hall. However, most of the disciples who are willing to enter Piao Miao Peak intend to study for a master's degree at Piao Miao Peak. Therefore, no matter how bad the treatment is, I will just endure it.
Who made them pursue academic goals?
So even so, it is very difficult to enter Piaomiao Peak! In recent years, it has rolled into...
Adai: "I think I can get in with a score of 710."
Lian Chengyue seemed to be thinking: "Does that mean 40 points can be deducted?"
Can 40 points be deducted? It’s not that difficult.
Lian Chengyue's ignorant look immediately offended Ada. A'Dai then took a sip of milk tea and pretended to be casual and said, "It's okay. In recent years, many people did not enter Piao Miao Peak by relying on bare points. The last time before, there was one. The time before that, there was none."
Lian Chengyue: "Why is that?"
Adai said: "Self-enrollment will give you extra points. You must know that."
Lian Chengyue touched her ring with her finger. He said: "Senior Ringwraith, do you know?"
Shi Ruzhuo: ...How could I possibly know what the Qingji Sect is doing?
As Shi Ruzhuo listened, he felt a little frightened.
Could it be that the Yinbing Pavilion is in this horrible state now?
Lian Chengyue then asked Adai: "Senior, what are the extra points for independent enrollment?"
Now comes the key point. Adai took a sip of milk tea, looked at the sky and said, "It is a way to... comprehensively test the quality of students."
