My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 310 The exam begins, and then I immediately lose contact!

After a long silence, Yu Bingtong finally stood up and said, "I understand. We will give you an answer as soon as possible."

Li Wei turned around and looked at the window behind him: "Remember to settle the bill for breaking my desk before you leave!"

Yu Bingtong obediently wrote down a check, then turned and left.

Her visit to Li Wei this time was less about interrogating him and more about testing his attitude and understanding the thoughts of the Supreme Emperor.

Now that the stance has been made clear, there's no point in continuing to argue.

Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group, the Yu family behind them, and even the remaining forces of the entire smallpox ward are all facing a life-or-death situation. What will happen next is up to the true gods to decide.

They befriended Li Wei in order to use his title as the special envoy of the Jade Emperor to gain the support of the Jade Emperor's side without completely siding with him!

This would both alleviate the pressure on the gods and preserve the core business of Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group. The pharmaceutical group could then be used to give back to the gods in heaven, providing them with money and wealth to smooth relations and gain their support.

But now Venus has intervened.

Therefore, simply befriending Li Wei is no longer enough to protect the Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group. If they want to gain the support of the Shanghao Heavenly Emperor, they must engage in deeper cooperation with Shanghao, or even completely pledge allegiance to Shanghao.

As Yu Bingtong hurriedly left, Li Wei could clearly see her figure through the window. No matter how fast she walked, no matter how vast the world outside Zhongzhou City was, the iron frame around the window seemed like a cage, firmly reflecting her back.

"Xiao Zi, you should be able to prepare the funds to acquire shares in Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group. If I'm not mistaken, some deity should soon choose to sever ties with them!"

Although the Yu family is the major shareholder of Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group, there are also many other gods who hold shares. If those gods do not want to be buried with the Yu family, they will naturally sell their shares, and there are probably not many people on the market who would dare to buy them.

This will bring Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group's stock and share price to their lowest point, making it the best time to acquire this behemoth.

Once Li Wei acquires the Zhongzhou Medicine business, he will have a very useful front man, and he can also deepen his cooperation with the charitable organizations of Bo Xun, so that he can legitimately use some of the funds to build the Xi Xi Ming Zheng Jiao system more quickly.

And
Li Wei glanced at the Heavenly Emperor's Special Envoy Jade Talisman on his table and thought to himself: Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is all I can do to help you! Whether you can subdue the Yu family gods and the Smallpox tribe this time depends on you.

After resolving the minor incident with Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group, Li Wei turned his attention back to the upcoming unified examination for Nascent Soul advancement licenses.

And news of his upcoming exam gradually spread.

Some people with ulterior motives immediately took action.

"Minister, our people have just received word that the information that Li Wei will participate in the unified examination for the Nascent Soul Advancement Permit came from the Department of Educational Selection!"
Furthermore, we discovered that these guys had secretly hired a group of online trolls to spread rumors online that someone had cheated on the exam.

Upon hearing this, Lei Yanzi narrowed his eyes: "So, Huang Tianyi and the others are planning to set a trap for Li Wei in this unified examination?"

"This should be."

"They're trying to ruin Li Wei's reputation and kick him out of Zhongzhou! But although Li Wei is hateful, the Ancestor has already said that he must stay in the Thunder Division of Zhongzhou!"

"Here's what we'll do! Zhang Li, go and summon the inspector in charge of cybersecurity. Tell him to suppress the public opinion outside and not give them a chance to connect it to Li Wei!"

Zhang Li said somewhat unwillingly, "But are we just going to let what happened before just go like this?"

Lei Yanzi gave a sinister smile: "Although we can't let Li Wei be driven away, let me tell you not to forget that this exam will take a month. Once he's gone, we can deal with Kong Miaodan!"

"These two are a top-tier descendant of the Peacock Clan and a special envoy-level inspector personally appointed by the Heavenly Emperor. If they join forces, they pose a great threat. However, if they are defeated one by one, it will be much easier."

"Besides, I only said to suppress public opinion, not to completely eliminate it! If the Department of Education can make Li Wei lose face, wouldn't that be great? So this time you need to be careful to control the degree."

Zhang Li chuckled immediately: "I understand!"

Upon receiving the news, Kong Miaodan immediately called Li Wei: "Are you really going to go for a month?"

"Of course, how can I use my Nascent Soul cultivation without obtaining the Nascent Soul advancement permit?"

"But that'll take a month! Lei Yanzi will definitely find a way to deal with me then!"

"In that case, why don't you find a way to go back to your family and hide? As long as you do nothing, you won't make any mistakes, and if you don't make any mistakes, he won't have an excuse to punish you."

"I hope so! But I've heard that your people have been secretly investigating the Election Commission lately, and it seems like they're doing it with a specific purpose in mind. Do you perhaps already have evidence against them?"

Li Wei paused for a moment before answering, "How did you know about this?"

"I am, after all, a vice minister, and I have some connections. Besides, don't underestimate the divine officials of the Thunder Department of Central Continent. Your people have reviewed so many documents these past few days. Even a fool would know something's fishy."

"But don't worry, I've already erased all traces of this incident. Consider this our first collaboration!"

Seeing this, Li Wei was alarmed. He thought Mi Hongzhi had been very careful, but he didn't expect that she would still be found out.

If it had been Lei Yanzi, rather than Kong Miaodan, who discovered it, he would definitely have chosen to alert the Selection and Teaching Department. This way, he could both benefit from the Selection and Teaching Department and ruin Li Wei's plans.

"In that case, thank you very much! After it's done, you'll get a share of the credit!" "Heh, how much credit can there be for such a small matter? You should take care of yourself first. The position of Inspector is still too low. If possible, you'd better be promoted to Vice Minister as soon as possible, so that we can truly stand up to Lei Yanzi!"

Upon hearing this, Li Wei smiled instinctively.

Kong Miaodan, Kong Miaodan, when you find out how great my "merit" is, I bet you'll come begging me to share the credit with you.

Because of Li Wei's upcoming participation in the unified examination, the political environment of the entire Central Plains suddenly fell into an eerie calm.

Everyone is waiting.
Wait until the unified exam starts, wait until Li Wei leaves!

In this eerie calm, time passed little by little, and the examination date for the Central Continent Nascent Soul Advancement Permit Examination finally arrived!

Because Li Wei's version of the Heavenly Dao is different from the current one, there are some panel options that he doesn't have. Fortunately, Mi Hongzhi is also going to take the exam this time, so Li Wei invited her to stay in the office early on to wait for the exam announcement to be updated.

At eight o'clock in the morning, at the moment the sun rises.

A notification sounded in both of their ears simultaneously.

【Ding! 】

[The 128th Central City Nascent Soul Advancement License Examination you booked has begun. You can access the examination-dedicated secret realm—Wenchang Dan Ying Small Cave Heaven—through the Heavenly Dao Panel to participate in this examination!]

[This exam will last for 31 days. You will not be allowed to leave until all exams are completed or you fail an exam. Therefore, please prepare to enter within one hour. After one hour, you will be teleported into the Small Cave!]

Li Wei and Mi Hongzhi exchanged a glance, then held hands and activated the examination system together, being teleported into the Wenchang Dan Ying Small Cave Heaven.

After receiving the news of Li Wei's departure from the Central Continent Immortal Abode's Selection Division, Huang Tianyi excitedly rubbed his hands together: "Are you sure he has entered the grotto heaven?"

"That's right!"

"Let's begin. Release the fabricated video of Li Wei's previous contact with the examiners, as well as the photos of him obtaining the test questions in advance."

"it is good!"

Amidst the conversations of the divine officials of the Selection Department, countless candidates had already been teleported away without any problems whatsoever.

But just when only a few people remained...
A piercing explosion suddenly came from the computer room of the examination monitoring team!

Huang Tianyi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly unleashed his cultivation and rushed towards the computer room, only to find that all the hardware facilities used to support the education and examination system were now on fire.

He nearly fell over, gasping for breath. After managing to steady himself by grabbing a nearby pillar, he clenched his fists tightly and exclaimed, "What happened?!"

The examination inspector said with a troubled expression, "Sir, the entire system suddenly overloaded just now, as if some behemoth had suddenly bypassed our system and overwhelmed our laws system."

Huang Tianyi's eyes narrowed immediately: "You mean...?"

"Just now... just now," the examination proctor reluctantly admitted, but he finally had to say with a bitter smile, "Just now, some limbs of the Education Department deities must have been teleported into the examination hall through our system!"

"The small cave where the unified examination is held has now completely lost contact with us!"

Boom!
Huang Tianyi immediately collapsed to the ground, his head buzzing, and it took him a long time to recover.

"Millions of peak Golden Core cultivators! This exam has millions of peak Golden Core cultivators, including many descendants of divine blood, and even Li Wei, the inspector personally appointed by His Majesty. If anything happens to these people..."

Just thinking about the consequences made Huang Tianyi gasp and straighten up abruptly.

"Stop the exam immediately and send all these people back!"

The inspector from the examination team said helplessly, "It's too late!"

"The evil god that went in this time seems to have the authority of our high-ranking officials in the Church of Elections. All the protective barriers in the system are useless against it! But the question is, how did this authority end up in the hands of that evil god?"

Huang Tianyi was furious: "You mean there's a mole inside?"

"If it's an inside job, we can ask the true god to counter-intrusion and regain control."

"But if it's not an inside traitor, it means those evil heretics have completely crushed us in terms of the technology to crack the Holy Path Education System. At that time, the entire exam will be under their control!"

then,

Whether it was Huang Tianyi, the Examination Supervisor, or the other officials of the Central Plains Selection and Religion Office, they all couldn't help but pray in their hearts at this moment.

"Then let's find an inside man! Heaven help us, please don't let it be some evil spirit that has made another technological breakthrough!"
