No hope for eternal life

Xue Rang didn't like nonsense, so he used an invisible force to lift Mu Changsheng and others up into the air.

At the same time, Xue Rang said to Sha Tongmo: "I will take them ahead and fly slowly."

Shatongmo naturally didn't dare to say anything more and just nodded his head and said yes.

Afterwards, Xue Rang took Mu Changsheng and others and flew there at high speed, saving even the cost of the ferry.

Although there was no ferry, Xue Rang's speed was many times faster than the ferry, so that Mu Changsheng could not see the mountains and rivers below at all.

Faced with such a big shot as the Duke of Qi, no one dared to say anything and could only wait patiently for the end of this special experience.

Mu Changsheng is unable to practice now and can only count the time silently in his mind.

About half an hour later, the speed dropped suddenly, and Mu Changsheng could finally see the scene on the ground clearly. The first thing that caught his eye was a long yellow river in the distance. The river meandered like a giant dragon across the sky.

Nearby is an extremely magnificent city. Except for the northern border which ends at the Changhe River, the other three borders are infinite in number. Even if Mu Changsheng is looking down from a high altitude, he cannot see the end.

"Is this the capital?" Mu exclaimed in his heart, amazed at both the grandeur of the capital and Xue Rang's extreme speed.

You should know that Nansha County is one of the most remote counties in the Kamikaze Kingdom, and it is separated from the capital by several counties, but Xue Rang arrived there in just half an hour.

The Kingdom of Kamikaze is the northernmost of the five southeastern countries. The long river next to the capital is the largest river in the Tianshuang Realm - the Huanglong River. This river divides the entire Tianshuang Realm continent into two. North of the Huanglong River is the sphere of influence of the Lingshan Sect, the strongest force in the Tianshuang Realm.

It was for this reason that Mu Changsheng became curious as to why their Shenfeng Kingdom built its capital so close to Lingshan Sect.

Although he was curious, Mu Changsheng didn't ask directly. It would not be too late to investigate later.

Soon, Xue Rang led Mu Changsheng and others into the airspace of the capital. Immediately, a man in golden armor appeared, blocked their way, and shouted: "Who are you? Tell me your name?"

Xue Rang took out the token and said calmly: "Xue Rang."

The man in golden armor didn't speak until he saw the token. His tone softened: "It turns out to be the Duke of Qi. Please come in."

As he said that, the man in golden armor made way. It was not that he didn't know Xue Rang, but according to convention, he needed to question him before letting him pass.

Xue Rang was also familiar with the rules, so he didn't say much and directly took Mu Changsheng and others to fly to Xicheng District.

After a while, everyone finally landed and found themselves in a courtyard. It was presumed that this was the reception courtyard for the monks taking the palace examination.

Xue Rang finally spoke to everyone, "This is your Nansha County courtyard. Three days later at noon, the palace examination will begin. Your county governor will take you to the imperial palace for the competition. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Everyone answered quickly.

Seeing this, Xue Rang nodded slightly, and his figure disappeared in an instant. No one could even see his afterimage.

Seeing Xue Rang leave, everyone relaxed and started to do their own things. Some wanted to buy information, while others planned to find a room to practice.

Mu Changsheng belongs to the latter. He wants to finish drawing the remaining Lihuo Talismans first.

Just when Mu Changsheng was about to say hello to Mu Xun and the others and go to make talismans, he suddenly heard a cry of surprise: "We live in the eleventh courtyard!"

There are numbers at the entrance of each courtyard. Just like the reception courtyards for the county examinations, these numbers represent the general ranking of the counties.

Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun couldn't help but look at each other. This was not good news. Among the eighteen counties, their Nansha County ranked eleventh. Even if this was due to the fact that they were ambushed by the demon tribe, it could not cover up the fact that the other counties were very powerful.

Judging from this ranking alone, it would be difficult for Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun to even make it into the top ten in the palace examination.

"It seems that the quality of the monks taking the palace examination this time is very high." Song Zhi sighed. Her words came from the heart. In her opinion, Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun were already very good. She did not expect that Nansha County's ranking was so low.

Mu Changsheng and the other two felt heavy-hearted after hearing this. In the end, Mu Changsheng still followed his original plan and said, "I'm going to go into seclusion and refine the talisman first."

Mu Xun nodded and said: "Okay, you go and retreat, and I'll go buy some intelligence." He really wanted to know who the top geniuses in each county were, and he couldn't wait to see the intelligence on those guys.

"I am also going to go into seclusion. I feel that my cultivation level can be improved a little bit. I will try my best to improve my strength before the palace examination." Song Zhi said.

So the three of them took action separately.

Mu Changsheng left the villa with Mu Xun because he wanted to find a training room in the inn.

However, the two people who had just walked out of the villa saw a familiar scene at the door again. It turned out that the government had already posted the rewards for the palace examination, and many people were watching.

Mu Changsheng and the other two naturally would not miss it. They were just wanting to see whether there was the Nine-Revolution Golden Pill among the rewards for the palace examination.

"The 100th to 150th place in the Foundation Establishment Realm Palace Examination will be rewarded with 1,000 mid-grade spirit stones."

"The 51st to 100th place in the Foundation Establishment Realm Palace Examination will be rewarded with 3,000 mid-grade spirit stones."

"The 26th to 50th place in the Foundation Establishment Realm Palace Examination will be rewarded with 5,000 mid-grade spirit stones and a 7th-turn golden elixir."

"The eleventh to twenty-fifth place in the Foundation Establishment Realm Palace Examination will be rewarded with seven thousand mid-grade spirit stones and an eighth-level golden elixir."

"The fourth to tenth place in the Foundation Establishment Realm Palace Examination will be rewarded with eight thousand mid-grade spirit stones and an eighth-level golden elixir, as well as the opportunity to enter the imperial palace treasury to select a treasure."

"The second and third place winners of the Foundation Establishment Realm Palace Examination will be rewarded with 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones and a Nine-transformation Golden Pill, the title of Earl, and the opportunity to enter the Imperial Palace Treasury to select a treasure."

"The first place in the Foundation Establishment Realm Palace Examination will be rewarded with 20,000 mid-grade spirit stones and a Nine-transformation Golden Pill, the title of Earl, and the opportunity to enter the Imperial Palace Treasury to select a treasure."

After Mu Changsheng and the other person finished reading, they looked at each other again.

"Do you think there will be Nine-Transformation Golden Pill in the imperial palace treasury?" Mu Xun asked.

It is important for a person to know himself. Mu Xun and Mu Changsheng both knew that judging from the ranking of Nansha County, this palace examination would definitely be full of fierce competition and powerful enemies. Not to mention the first place in the palace examination, even if they wanted to compete for the top three, it would be difficult. So Mu Xun was thinking about whether he could get the chance to enter the palace and select treasures by being among the top ten and get the Nine-Transformation Golden Pill.

"Difficult." Mu Changsheng gave his analysis: "Really rare treasures will not be placed in the treasury for you to choose. This has been verified in the county government treasury."
