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

Chapter 311 What Pure Yang Grass? It's clearly Spirit Stone Grass!!

Under some powerful suction, Li Wei's vision suddenly changed, and he found himself in a huge teaching building filled with a peculiar fragrance.

The aroma was somewhat like coffee, or perhaps strong tea; in short, it was incredibly invigorating. Even someone with Li Wei's physical abilities couldn't help but feel his heart race and become excited after taking a breath.

[Cultivator Li Wei—You have entered the Wenchang Dan Ying Cave Heaven. Your current examination room is Examination Room No. 11871 of the 128th Unified Examination for the Nascent Soul Advancement Permit!]

[Your current exam subject is Basic Spiritual Power Control. Next, please use your spiritual power to activate the low-grade immortal plant, Pure Yang Grass. The more dew that condenses on the grass, the higher your score will be!]

After the notification tone ends.

A plant root sprouted from under Li Wei's feet, grew all the way, and finally wrapped around his wrist.

Before Li Wei even began to exert his power, this wisp of immortal plant root, like a starving ghost, began to greedily absorb the spiritual energy from his body.

The Heavenly Dao 0.91 system didn't notice at first, but after carefully sensing it, it was immediately stunned: [Good heavens, I knew this damn Pure Yang Grass looked familiar!]

[Isn't this the spirit stone herb that cultivators in ancient times specifically cultivated to purify spirit stone ore?]

Li Wei: "."

The Heavenly Dao 0.91 system invaded this so-called "Pure Yang Grass," following its roots all the way to the end of the examination hall. It quickly discovered that Li Wei's missing spiritual power had all been condensed into high-grade spirit stones.

"That's strange. With your current cultivation level, Master, condensing top-grade spirit stones shouldn't be a problem. How come it's only high-grade? Master, I'll teach you a few methods. Try concentrating your mind to purify your spiritual energy."

After a few tries, Li Wei quickly grasped the knack and, with the help of the Heavenly Dao 0.91 system, successfully condensed a top-grade spirit stone.

[As expected! This Pure Yang Grass is the ancient Spirit Stone Grass, only the Heavenly Court has upgraded its technology, and now it can be mined directly from your cultivators' bodies!]

No wonder the spirit stones produced by your Heavenly Court are of such high purity these days!!

All those who came to take the Nascent Soul Advancement Permit Exam this time were powerful cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core stage. The spiritual energy in each of them had undergone purification several times, making them absolutely high-quality "minerals"!
If the millions of Golden Core cultivators taking the exam could condense spirit stones 24 hours a day without interruption, then this first exam alone could earn the True Gods of the Selection Division billions of high-grade and top-grade spirit stones!

No wonder they say education is profitable!
The Heavenly Court will make at least several trillion from the registration fees alone. Once everyone is in the examination hall, they will be squeezed again to extract the "cultivation mine" from their bodies.

And this is only the first stage. There are 31 stages in a whole exam, and the rest will definitely follow a similar pattern.

really,

The Heavenly Dao 0.91 system, which had invaded the "Pure Yang Grass," had already obtained the exam content for the next 30 levels. Even though the system already knew how powerful the Heavenly Court was, it was still terrified by the inhuman methods of the gods.

[Master, the first test is the infusion of your spiritual energy; the second is to nurture some acquired merit-based spiritual treasures with your flesh and blood; the third is to purify some forbidden potions with your soul power!]

[Then, by the fourth stage, which is the fourth day, your spiritual energy will have almost recovered, and you can take another spiritual energy test, and then the cycle will continue!]

This isn't an exam; it's clearly a series of exploitative practices, and the worst part is, the Heavenly Court doesn't even have to spend a penny—you've all jumped right into this trap!

Li Wei felt disgusted, as if he had swallowed a fly.

This is like taking an exam and being treated like a pig, locked in an exam pen and having your flesh repeatedly ripped out. Who could stand that?

"So now you know why the unified examination for the Nascent Soul Advancement Permit is held four times a year, right?"

This would provide cultivators with a path to advancement, encouraging them to dedicate themselves to the exams despite the slim chance of success, thus reducing instability in the Immortal Sphere.

They can also conveniently plunder the wealth, cultivation, physical bodies, and souls of lower-level cultivators.

This is not only because the gods want to make money, but also because they cannot allow lower-level cultivators to become too wealthy, otherwise their foundation will become stronger, and they will have a greater chance of becoming immortals.

If cultivators spend all their money and resources on exams, their chances of becoming immortals will be even lower. Even the most brilliant geniuses of ancient times will be gradually worn down by such wasted time and never rise again!

Thinking this through, Li Wei suddenly realized something even more: "If I'm not mistaken, those inhuman bastards will probably come up with even more outrageous exam rules this time, right?"

He can guess.

But it's also because those people in Heaven were too easy to guess.

So almost the instant Li Wei finished speaking, a notification rang in the ears of all the candidates.

[All candidates have now entered the examination hall. You are familiar with the method of infusing spiritual energy into the Pure Yang Grass. The 128th Central Continent Nascent Soul Advancement License Examination is now officially beginning!]

[Note: This exam has integrated with the cultivation transfer payment system. Candidates can use this system at any time to purchase cultivation points to replenish their spiritual energy and achieve higher scores.] [Note: This exam has been officially authorized by Heavenly Court Loans. You can borrow money at any time through the cultivation assistance panel. The specific loan amount will be comprehensively evaluated based on your work, bloodline, and cultivation style.]

[The real-time exam leaderboard will be available soon, so please check your ranking regularly.]

【Ding! ! 】

Upon hearing these three prompts, all the cultivators in the examination hall nearly went crazy.

When Li Wei looked up, he saw that all one hundred students in the same examination room were in an uproar, constantly whispering to each other.

"Didn't we only have real-time rankings before? How come we now have a cultivation transfer payment system and cultivation loans?"

"The cultivation transfer payment system has long since completely changed the logic of cultivation. It is normal that the unified examination for advanced licenses is affected now. We can only adapt to the environment, not make the environment adapt to us."

"Ugh! This damned Heavenly Court, they're trying to drag us all down with them!"

"Hahaha! I think it's a good thing. Don't forget that this ranking doesn't show the specific ranking, it only shows the score difference between you and the cultivators before and after you!"

for example,

如果你考了90分，你前面第2个人考了91、92，你后面两个人考了89、99，那你最后看到的排名就是（88、89、90、91、92）！
The most insidious aspect of this method is that as long as you can't see your specific ranking or other people's scores, and you don't know your actual level, you'll always be clinging to wishful thinking.

For example, right now, some cultivators are ranked over 2.8 million, with a very small chance of passing the exam. However, they can't see their ranking, so they still haven't given up hope and have already started gritting their teeth and taking out loans!

Let's give it a shot!

Let's give it one more shot!

If I can surpass those two people, I might just reach the top!
With this in mind, every year some people do very well in the early stages of the exam, but quickly exhaust their potential in the later stages, causing problems in the later exams and thus affecting their overall scores.

"Everyone's wealth and cultivation loan limit is limited, but there are thirty-one levels in the exam. If some people rely on their wealth and loans to recklessly compete for points, then we weaklings might actually get high scores!"

"Yes! The original unified examination for the Nascent Soul advancement license was already extremely difficult, a test of endurance. Now, the addition of cultivation loan and cultivation transfer payment system undoubtedly adds more variables to the exam, and also increases its difficulty!"

"How much money you have and how much you can borrow next will be one of the key means to get a high score, but it is by no means the only means."

"Of course, if you have enough money and loans to pass all 31 exams, then disregard what I said!"

Upon hearing this, some cultivators in the examination hall breathed a sigh of relief. After exchanging glances, they all quietly entered the examination hall to check their loan limits in order to refine their exam plans.

But surprisingly
Tian Ting Loan did not respond.

"What's going on? Why can't I communicate with the system laws of Heavenly Loans?"

"I'm experiencing the same issue; I can't find the loan amount at all!"

"What's wrong with the Central State Education Department this time? There were problems when we registered and paid the fees, and now the loan option is unavailable. What kind of ridiculous, makeshift organization is this?"

Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Dao 0.91 System quickly reminded: [Master, it seems the Dark Web and the two Great Sages, Mara and Bo Xun, have already begun!]

'Hmm! Let's wait and see how things unfold!'

Based on the information previously provided by the Dark Web Great Sage and the Great Sage Bo Xun, as well as the confidential information stolen by the Heavenly Path 0.91 system from within the Central Continent Election Bureau,
This Wenchang Danying Little Cave is a public secret realm developed by Wenchang Xingjun, and Wenchang Xingjun incarnates are stationed here year-round!

Moreover, because the orbit of Xiaodongtian is close to the heavens, the separation between immortals and mortals has little impact on it. Therefore, if Wenchang Xingjun were to descend directly at any time, a divine war would not be impossible.

Thinking of this,

Li Wei seemed completely unaware of anything amiss, continuing to bury himself in the exam, constantly channeling his cultivation into the Pure Yang Grass to condense top-grade spirit stones.

Judging from the fluctuations in his spiritual energy, he was clearly draining his spiritual energy at all costs in order to get a high score as quickly as possible, leaving not even a trace of emergency spiritual energy.

Just focus on this.

No one doubts that he is connected to the chaos that is about to unfold!
"Now, let's see how the God of Literature reacts!"
