Chapter 0148: Original Destiny: Yuan Chendan

The next morning, the sunlight shone through the window on Ye Qing's face, waking him up from deep sleep.

Subsequently, the bell rang throughout the imperial capital, and everyone who heard it knew that the triennial commendation ceremony had begun. As noon approached, it reached its peak.

Ye Qing and Fu Chengshan were drinking tea on the third floor when they heard the sound of horse hooves and gongs. They didn't say anything but went to the window to look down.

I saw drums and music playing loudly below. As the music started, two pairs of elephants led the way in front, and eight ceremonial officials led the way behind, each holding a fan, a tower, a sign, and a flag.

Two hundred and forty-three fellow Jinshi followed behind, each dressed in official attire, led by Yu Fan, followed by a row of guards.

Due to the presence of Kong Zhi, Chu Yan, and Tang Zhongchen among the fellow jinshi, Ye Qing and Fu Chengshan were all profound people who hardly said a word, just watched.

A team of more than 200 people, praising officials on the imperial street, exploring spring in the apricot forest, and then having a banquet at noon in the Golden Hall, were lost in thought when they heard Fu Chengshan sigh, "It's been ten years since we last met. At this moment, we are full of vigor and vitality

Ye Qing smiled and said, "As fellow jinshi, they are all kept for personal use. It's not surprising to receive such treatment. If you're willing to openly join them, you'll be the leader

Fu Chengshan just smiled speechlessly and didn't say much more.

The two prefectures and the emperor have given full face to the jinshi, generously bestowing the necessary blessings of good fortune. In comparison, the jinshi are treated like a stepmother, with official honors, rewards, and promotions. However, the imperial court should not even think about praising the officials, as this honorable treatment is only available to jinshi.

Although it was a glorious event in the past, there was a bit of discomfort - regardless of the ranking, there were always 33 names on the top of the list, which was very eye-catching.

Now there is none in this edition, and by the time they post it, everyone will have already left the list, which makes them even more proud.

Fu Chengshan looked at it for a moment, then retreated to the table and said, "They are proud at noon, and we are proud at night. I heard that the emperor, the prince, and the ministers will come to the Qionghu banquet. What do you think

I don't have any ideas, "Ye Qing took a sip of tea, her spirits lifted, and she understood Fu Chengshan's meaning." I was born at the age of fifteen, passed the imperial examination at the age of sixteen, and ranked second at the age of seventeen. I advanced too quickly, my foundation was unstable, and I spent too much

I am not planning to stay in the imperial capital, nor am I planning to hold a position locally. I want to return to my hometown and recuperate for three years

So for this Qionghu banquet, I won't prepare too much. Let's just finish drinking

After hearing these words, Fu Chengshan couldn't find the words he wanted to say. He was stunned for a moment before sighing, "To be honest, you really surprise me all the time. Compared to you, our hearts and insights are far inferior - I'm afraid we can't live up to your expectations

I'm still young, so I've expressed my attitude. Everyone will understand, "Ye Qing's eyes flickered and she smiled

As he spoke, he shouted, "Hey buddy, serve the dishes

Qiong Lake

As night falls, the dim sky is dotted with stars, the lake stretches out, the wide embankment is filled with trees and flowers, and a faint mist permeates... In such a night, Ye Qing and Fu Chengshan arrived.

Almost everyone has arrived, and now they are gathered on the lakeside pavilion to chat and drink tea. The ranking of the Jinshi has not yet been determined, and they sit casually according to their relationships and preferences.

The bright glass lamp shines like day, illuminating a lake of spring water, full of vitality and beautiful scenery. However, I heard that previous banquets were not very lavish!

While pondering, I suddenly saw guards rushing in and standing straight.

Upon seeing it, the Jinshi became nervous and stopped speaking with solemnity. The officials from the Ministry of Rites even signaled that they had repeatedly explained the matter to the Ministry of Rites this afternoon. Without saying a word, the Jinshi remained silent and lined up according to their ranking.

Everyone held their breath and waited. In a moment, there were three sounds of the still whip, followed by a gentle drumbeat. A eunuch entered loudly and said, "The Holy One is here

Long live! "The Jinshi all knelt solemnly, and the entire venue was quiet without a sound of coughing up phlegm. Only the sound of footsteps came over. The emperor paused for a moment, glanced at the new Jinshi, and then explained in detail," Last night, I carefully looked at your resumes and felt very emotional. The country's selection of scholars, every three years, is comparable to you, who are all heroes of the generation! I don't say much, I just want to appreciate the grace of the court

After saying this, the emperor didn't say much, and an official from the Ministry of Rites shouted loudly, "The top scholar leads all the jinshi to express gratitude

Long live

Xu Wenzhao led thirty jinshi to shout, respectfully submit their memorial, say a few words, and then bow respectfully to see the emperor leave his seat. In an instant, music began to play and the emperor left. This process was boring, but essential. Seeing the emperor leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Tong Shancai stepped forward and waved his hand to indicate that he did not need to sit on the throne. He stood in the water pavilion and said, "The state's selection of scholars is to assist in government affairs, pacify the Sui region, and govern civil affairs. You have gone from being a child to a scholar, from a scholar to a juren, from a juren to a jinshi. The state has made a lot of contributions

I won't say much, jinshi. Wherever you go in the future, please remember this land under your feet! "Tong Shan finally said these words, looking deeply at the jinshi, which meant a lot, but he could only say so much.

At this moment, a mysterious sound was suddenly heard, and the blue airflow descended.

Finally here, the messenger of the Heavenly Court

With just a sound, Ye Qing felt her spirit and energy being pulled by a mysterious force, causing even the Chuanlin Notes in the Sea of Knowledge to immediately stop fluctuating.

Ye Qing's heavenly eyes clearly saw a slight decrease in green energy, but immediately closed them to avoid offending the real person.

Just under the green aura, Ye Qingling felt various changes.

However, this anomaly disappeared in the blink of an eye. A Taoist stood on a high platform with his hands on his back and squinted his eyes, exuding an indescribable aura.

There are two Taoist priests around, one holding a golden plate and the other holding a jade plate.

On the golden plate is a stack of blue inscriptions, as we all know, they are heavenly.

On the jade plate, there were only three pearls that caught everyone's attention. The pearls were moon white, but with a hint of five colors.

At this point, Ye Qing's complexion changed slightly as he said, "The original Yuanchen Pill has finally arrived.

It can be said that this is the greatest reward for a successful candidate in the imperial examination. These three Yuanchen Pills are said to be the true gateway to entering the Dao, which can purify the recipient according to their physical constitution and qi, transforming them into an innate Dao body.

With a innate Dao body, cultivation is naturally twice the result with half the effort. If less than one tenth of the successful candidates can cultivate immortality, but at least one third of the successful candidates have a chance, relying on this innate Yuanchen Dan to reverse the heavens and change their destiny.

The Taoist didn't want to say much and just glanced at him before saying, "The new Jinshi came forward to collect the Tianji Qinglu

The Taoist boy holding the golden plate sang his name one by one, and everyone went forward to collect them one by one. Ye Qing also received them. It was just a green page, only the size of a palm, with a line of golden letters shining faintly.

According to past life legends, this Qingwen is a magical weapon that is connected to the owner's life and soul. It does not work normally, but once the owner dies, it can immediately transform into a Qinghong and take the owner's spirit away.

This is already considered a secret treasure of the Heavenly Court, but at this moment, no one pays attention and everyone is staring at the three pearls.

A successful candidate, come forward and receive the elixir! "The Taoist continued to speak with great sincerity. Xu Wenzhao and Cao Wushao immediately stepped forward, and Ye Qing quickly followed suit.

Kneeling down, the Taoist personally took out the pearl and pressed it against Xu Wenzhao's brow. It was strange to say that the pearl was immediately embedded in Xu Wenzhao's brow. In the next moment, a faint fragrance emanated, and a round of perfect radiance rose from Xu Wenzhao's body.

Next! "The Taoist said expressionlessly, and when Ye Qing stepped forward, he pressed it.

Ye Qing felt a chill in her brow as a bright moon suddenly descended from her sea of consciousness, illuminating it.

The dim darkness in the sea of consciousness instantly illuminated most of it, and this bright moon moved towards the sky, about to occupy the most central position in the sea of consciousness.

Just as the moon approached the center, a scroll of book suddenly appeared, revealing a faint green color under the moonlight, with a hint of green light shining on the moon in an instant.

The bright moon seemed to have little resistance, but in just a moment, the book transformed it into the past.

Before Ye Qing could be surprised, she saw the pearl appear again, and a trace of medicinal power was emitted. Only a small part of these medicinal powers reached her body, while the rest permeated the sea of consciousness.

An indescribable feeling struck Ye Qing's heart. Before, she didn't feel it, but now she realized that there was always a vague sense of disharmony between herself and the world, like stained glass. Immediately, the dust was wiped dry, all the barriers were eliminated, and everything was bright before her eyes.

My luck hasn't improved, but I feel a slight change and harmony.

A kind of enlightenment swept through his heart, and Ye Qing secretly rejoiced, "The Yuanchen Pill of this life has the effect of changing lives. It was originally intended to improve the lives of people in this world and achieve the innate Dao body

But at this moment, all the traces of my time travel were unexpectedly removed. If I hadn't been ranked second, how could such a good thing have happened

Just as he was pondering, the Taoist continued on to the next one. Then everyone thought he would speak, but they didn't want the Taoist to turn around. The next moment, he disappeared from the high platform. This decisiveness left everyone stunned.

The official, however, was not surprised and ordered, "... etiquette is complete, let's go to the banquet

At the command, rows of people came in to serve the dishes. Ye Qing saw that it was really simple - four dishes and one soup. Is this even a Jinshi banquet?

Very low-key, very low-key.

Ye Qing can understand that this is the essential rule of the organization. Praising officials on the streets has long been beyond expectations, but the rules have reached such a level that it is truly unexpected.

It's rare for the Heavenly Court to be magnanimous and not care. Perhaps the top scholars are as rare as stunning beauties, and even if they have managed to win someone, why not allow their rivals to vent their frustrations?

At this point, Ye Qing was speechless as he sat down and said, "Anyway, no matter what, the court will still confer an eighth rank official position. This is the basic treatment of a jinshi, but the difference is that a second rank jinshi is from the eighth rank, while a first rank jinshi is from the eighth rank

Even if I take a casual job, I can advance every five years, at least to the fifth rank. If I am willing to serve the court, I can still make progress

Just ignore these immediate differences
