Battling Records of the Chosen One

C58. Imperial Tests

Upon leaving the Keystone Business, Lin Xun only had a hundred and seventy-three imperial silver coins. Most of his money was spent on spiritual medicines and spiritual ink.

There was no other choice. All the goods used for cultivation were of great value, which ordinary people could not afford.

Lin Xun had also heard that some people with the aptitude for cultivation failed to involve cultivation in all their lives due to poverty and lack of financial support and had to be a common one of all mortal beings.

Fortunately, Lin Xun didn't need to worry about it now.

As noon approached, Lin Xun had decided to venture back to Feiyun Village. Shue Liang sent two guardians to help Lin Xun escort the cargo.

The two guardians, who were also responsible for purchasing Feiyun Fire-copper, followed Lin Xun this time in order to explore the way, and thereafter they would go to Feiyun Village to buy Feiyun Fire-copper every other month.

In this way, even if Lin Xu left Feiyun Village later, there was no need to worry that no one could deliver and exchange goods for Feiyun Village.

Lin Xun clearly knew that this must be the arrangement of Yan Zhen and it also proved that Keystone Business always matched the action to the word.

From now on, as long as Lin Xun was alive and Keystone Business was still in Green-sun Tribe, surely no one dared to break the contract.

Besides, the backing of Keystone Business ensured that others dared not to encroach on the wealth of Feiyun Village.

Shue Liang saw Lin Xun off to the outside of Green-sun Tribe, which attracted a lot of attention along the way. However, when recognizing the people from Keystone Business, all the passers-by looked away quietly.

"Childe Lin, based on your present age and cultivation, why don't you go to Donglin Town to attend the County Test?" said Shue Liang, who was surprised to learn that Lin was only 13 years old as they talked.

"County Test?" asked Lin Xun, in a daze.

Shue Liang patiently explained, "The Empire conducts several rounds of selection every other year, recruiting outstanding talents from all over the world..."

According to Shue Liang, in order to select talents, Ziyao Empire, on the basis of regional differences, set up four kinds of tests, namely County Test, State Test, Province Test and Nation Test.

It was easy to understand that covering a vast territory, Ziyao Empire (except the imperial capital - the Forbidden City) was divided into thirty-four provinces, each of which had several states. Similarly, each of the states included several counties.

In short, counties, states, provinces, and the imperial capital make up the grand Ziyao Empire.

And "County Test", "State Test", "Province Test" and "Nation Test" corresponded to different levels of assessment and selection.

Therefore, County Test, the lowest level of test, held a simple requirement, that was the participants must be young practitioners who did not exceed 15 years old.

All the people who met this condition could successfully pass County Test.

State Test, which was more rigorous, conducted accurate assessments on aptitude, perception and root bones of the practitioners, and only the outstanding ones could pass the test.

Province Test was super harsh. Shue Liang wasn't quite clear about the specific content, but he knew that all the people who could pass the Province Test were the first-class figures in the world!
