Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 219 The Big Exam Begins

The situation on the field suddenly became tense.

Liang Zuodao took a close look at Chen Jing and sighed.

"In fact, Liang had expected that most of the true disciples would not agree to this. To seek the Tao, one must be determined, and those who seek their own Tao are even more determined. Those who seek the holy Tao have hearts as hard as stone, and they will never agree to it... How can a mere small profit sway them?"

"Mr. Liang, you don't have to think so highly of Chen. You might as well think more about your own reasons. You are old now. Have you run the Chamber of Commerce properly? Have you received a promotion or salary increase? As a result, you want to do things but can only afford such a low price."

Chen Jing shook his head and sneered, "Take a mere fifth-grade formation to test me, which true disciple can't stand this test?"

"you……"

Liang Zuodao's smile suddenly faded: "I never thought that Chen Zhenchuan would be so sharp-tongued."

"Seriously, are you sure you don't want to add any more money?"

"Ah."

"Poor bastard, bah."

Poor?!

Liang Zuodao's face immediately turned red. He was the branch manager of Jiuxiao Chamber of Commerce, one of the three upper prefectures, and was in charge of wealth amounting to hundreds of billions of spirit stones.

I was actually called a poor bastard by this country rich guy?
This is the only thing I cannot accept!
His psychological defenses were completely gone in this area, so he was speechless and pointed at Chen Jing for a long time before he could utter a word.

"Okay, okay, since Chen Zhenchuan is so ungrateful, let's try our hand at it. When you lose all your fame and fortune, I hope you can still remember what I said today!"

After hearing Liang Zuodao's harsh words, Chen Jing said lightly, "Whatever you want," and rode away on his dragon.

Liang Zuodao sneered repeatedly. At this time, Ying Huiyin, who was following Chen Jing, returned.

She said: "Fang Xing's life is left behind."

"Whether you can stay or not is not up to me to decide. Since you don't want to talk about the true teachings, why bother talking like this in your sleep?" Liang Zuodao couldn't help but sneered.

"Don't you understand what Senior Brother Chen said? He said he looked down on you for being poor, but he didn't say you have to continue to participate in this palace exam."

"?"

Liang Zuodao was stunned.

"He, he, he..."

How dare he insult me like this!
However, he agreed not to take part in the academy examination!

But he insulted me!

but……

Mr. Liang's mind was confused by these two emotions at the same time. He was furious and overjoyed at the same time, and almost brought out his inner demons.

However, reason prevailed in the end.

"If that's the case, Fang Xing will be blessed by heaven, and I will deliver the reward I just promised as promised."

"No need. I don't want to repeat what Senior Brother Chen said. He doesn't like it, so don't come to get in the way."

"..."

Ying Huiyin didn't look at the throbbing veins on Liang Zuodao's forehead. He turned around and left until he caught up with Chen Jing.

After meeting up with Chen Jing who was waiting.

She raised doubts.

"Are you really not going to take part in the exam?"

"Ah."

"Why?"

"Master Liang has set up countless traps for me. No matter how I jump, I will be in trouble. I will just follow his wishes and get out of the trap for now. After I understand it, I will decide what to do."

"From your attitude just now, I thought you were going to fight him to the end."

"It's just a test to retreat."

"Then why don't you pretend to agree?"

"It's not worth it to be greedy for this little advantage and put yourself in an unknown situation. In fact, I really think he is arrogant. I am not as poor as before. He is not doing justice to my status by giving me this little bait."

"..."

Ying Huiyin rolled her eyes.

It turns out that there was no extra money.

"Next, Huiyin, please help me announce that I have some problems with my training and will give up this exam. I will go check out that Li Yuhai. I am very curious about this young talent that Liang Zuodao values so much."

Chen Jing said.

"But the first person in the history of the Daoist Academy to be ranked number one should have been you. Don't you care?"

Should ask before leaving.

"As the strongest mana and the strongest spiritual consciousness in the past thousand years, losing the first place only shows that the academy is not worthy, not that I am not worthy. The sect that established the academy doesn't care, so why should I care?"

Chen Jing smiled.

The two separated.

A fierce argument also broke out at the sect's elders' meeting.

"In terms of mana and spiritual awareness, Chen Jing is second to none throughout the ages. If he can't even take first place, how can this academy's ranking convince the public!"

"Don't you know where his magic power and consciousness came from? The magic borrowed from heaven and earth can only be used by him alone. We established the academy to expand the sect's Taoism and narrow the gap with other sects, not to make him famous. Letting him be the number one is the greatest injustice to other students!"

"This is ridiculous! You might as well carve a line of words on the plaque of the academy, saying that the academy only nurtures mediocre people, not sages!"

"He's not a saint yet!"

"You are disregarding the rules of the academy. Are you accepting benefits that you shouldn't be accepting?"

"What nonsense! I was just speaking the truth, but you threw mud at me. What's your intention?"

It was rare for the Presbyterian Church to be so noisy.

On the one hand, they supported Chen Jing in being the first, but on the other hand, they felt that Chen Jing's first place was really not in line with their expectations.

After all, the sect's plan is to enable the disciples to make more long-term progress in Taoism and Taoism through training.

Although spells and spiritual awareness are listed as compulsory courses, the scores given are fixed.

The scores in Taoism and Taoism are infinite.

As a result, while others were seeking innovation and change, you, on the other hand, directly raised the fixed score to an unprecedented height, leaving everyone dumbfounded. Therefore, it was not without reason to exclude Chen Jing from this major exam.

However, when it comes to specific handling, even those who support expulsion are divided into several factions.

Many elders felt that it was okay to eliminate Chen Jing, but he should also be given adequate compensation and a unique achievement should be tailored for Chen Jing to please both sides.

However, this pertinent suggestion was still rejected by the extreme suggestions from both sides, and the argument became more and more fierce.

The final exam is approaching, but we still haven’t come up with a set of rules.

"Okay, no need to argue."

Sudden.

The figure of the Great Elder appeared here, and he snorted heavily: "There is no need for you to make the decision."

"Great Elder...Did the Sect Master make the decision?"

If there is anyone who can prevent the disagreement, it must be the leader.

The Great Elder shook his head: "Not long ago, Chen Jing announced that he had problems with his practice and could not participate in this exam."

"what?"

Most of the elders were stunned, but some of them had a glimmer of joy in their eyes.

The Great Elder said, "Disperse and do your own things."

Everyone dispersed one by one.

After everyone had left, one person came back, and that was Qingming.

Qing Ming stepped forward and said with a wry smile, "What can we do? That Chen Zhenchuan is so ruthless that he simply won't participate. How can we continue this play without the protagonist?"

"This year, Chen Zhenchuan is 23 years old. He is still very young and doesn't have the youthful spirit at all."

The Great Elder also shook his head.

"In this case, it is difficult to find out who in the Elders' Council is colluding with the outer sects and to what extent."

Qing Ming felt helpless.

In his plan, Chen Jing, as the absolute number one in this event, was arranged by others. How could he bear this humiliation?

This was a rare practitioner of the holy way in Suizhou. He was the most powerful person in the past thousand years at the age of 23. At such a young age, he had become the de facto lord of a prefecture. In just five years, he had risen from a poor vassal to a wealthy and free person. He was a genius.

Qing Ming asked himself, if he was half as awesome as Chen Jing at the age of 23, if someone dared to say no to him today, he would hang that person's entire family on a tree tomorrow.

It won’t work for anyone!

"I'm afraid it's some old monster's reincarnation." Qing Ming couldn't help but say.

"Brother Yun Ting has verified it. He has only awakened his wisdom from his previous life. In his previous life, he was not even thirty years old and was still a mere mortal."

The great elder shook his head.

"Without Chen Jing's challenge, do we have to put pressure on him? That would be too obvious and the traitor won't be fooled." Qing Ming said.

“…” The Great Elder said nothing. With a lot on his mind, he came under a lush peach tree.

In the end, he was taking advantage of the opportunity of being the first in the academy to uncover the traitor and reorganize the Council of Elders.

Or should I give up this opportunity and uphold fairness and justice in the academy?

The academy couldn't even achieve fairness in the first major exam. What will happen in the future? Can it be salvaged?

However, the Elder Council is the core decision-making body of the sect and is the brain of the sect. If a tumor grows in its brain and is not removed early, it will also cause endless troubles.

The Great Elder didn't know how to choose, and he had no better choice.

"Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have discussed it with Chen Zhenchuan in advance..."

After all, he still didn't respect Chen Jing enough and only provided guidance from behind. As a result, Chen Jing patted his butt and walked out of the chessboard, leaving the chess player speechless.

"The Council of Elders, give it priority."

The Great Elder closed his eyes and chose one of the two options that were destined to be wrong.

……

In the turbulent undercurrent behind.

The much anticipated Imperial Academy Examination has officially begun, and the students are gearing up to test their skills.

And "coincidentally", Suizhou's second educational organization, Feixian Pavilion, also held a major exam at the same time.

This aroused the interest of more people.

And I am curious, are the disciples of the academy better, or are the disciples of Feixian Pavilion stronger?
Originally there was no suspense, but after Chen Jing announced that he would not come, the outcome became confusing.

Chen Jingze calmly walked to the spectator seats and found a place to sit.

Suddenly discovered something.

He moved his butt slightly and looked in the other direction.

there.

Sitting there was the leader of the Jiuxiao Chamber of Commerce, Liang Zuodao.

This guy was wearing an exquisite golden robe that covered his small figure.

Seeing him looking at her, she also smiled at Chen Jing.

"Although this guy is irritating, he knows the current situation."

After greeting with a smile, Liang Zuodao turned around and spoke to the people behind him.

"Master Liang's move is indeed extraordinary."

Next to Liang Zuodao.

Under the gorgeous hood of the car sat a group of wealthy or noble people, all of them were bigwigs from the Jiuxiao Chamber of Commerce.
