In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon. After seeing off Mr. Li, Su Yi sat in the room and was silent.

According to what Li Yuanwai said, the person he spoke of had a high position and a high level of cultivation. At the very least, he was a great monk at the Golden Core stage or above. He was most likely the legendary Yuanying old monster.

Since the big shot wanted to ask for something, Su Yi made his request without hesitation.

First, get him a complete cultivation method of Ghost Spirit Sect.

Second, the method for monks with two spiritual roots of earth and water to transform into thunder spiritual roots.

Only if these two conditions are met, will he take the time to take the imperial examination in the secular world.

Mr. Li was worthy of being an old fox. He said that the adult could only agree to one of the two requests. Before leaving, he also asked Su Yi's age.

Su Yi himself doesn't know his age, but he estimates that it shouldn't be very old.

Mr. Li scratched his head and left without saying anything else.

After thinking for a while, Su Yi took out another spiritual stone, sat cross-legged on the bed and started practicing.

...

Five days later, two people, an old man and a young man, stood in front of the Qinghe County Government Office.

The old one has a sly and philistine look on his face, while the young one is wearing fluttering white clothes and is thoughtful.

"Young Master Su, are you really confident that you can pass the exam? You know, others have to study hard for years before they dare to take the exam. According to Mr. Su, you have not studied in a private school, so you might as well take the exam next year after you are fully prepared.

Late."

The old man is Mr. Li, and the young man in white is Su Yi.

"Three days of preparation time is enough for a mere child test."

In his previous life, Su Yi was a college student at 985 University. He was considered a scholar no matter what in ancient times.

What's more, he has now stepped into the world of immortality. Under the nourishment of spiritual energy, his ears and eyes are sharp and his mind is clear, which is even better than in his previous life.

The imperial examinations in the Jin Dynasty were similar to those in ancient times, and were divided into Tongsheng examination, rural examination, general examination and palace examination.

Among them, the Tongsheng Examination is an entry-level examination, which is divided into three stages: county examination, government examination, and college examination.

Candidates have to take exams in local counties and large state capitals. After passing the exam, they can be promoted to students, which are commonly known as scholars.

The content of the exam mainly tests how well the candidates write, as well as their understanding of some classic ancient books.

Although it seems very simple, the Qi Gong Body required for the exam alone takes several years of practice for ordinary people to master.

The classic ancient books of the Jin Dynasty contain more than a million words, and these ancient books require candidates to memorize them backwards and forwards.

The font was very simple for Su Yi, and it only took one night to practice it.

The remaining two days were spent memorizing those classics and ancient books. After all, it would take Su Yi a long time to read a book with more than a million words in one glance.

"I hope the young master can be admitted as a scholar! I have been running around for this matter to no avail. I will hand over the things that the master promised to me after the young master becomes a scholar." Li Yuanwai said after pondering for a moment.

Su Yi was a little depressed.

What Li Yuanwai said is a complete set of methods for transforming earth and water spirit roots into thunder spirit roots, including exercises, elixirs, and auxiliary formations.

However, the gentleman Li Yuanwai mentioned was only willing to give a little bit. Su Yi was only willing to give everything after he passed the examination to become a scholar, a scholar, and a Jinshi.

And according to what the adult said, the process of transforming into a thunder spirit root is extremely difficult. In addition to the above skills, formations, and elixirs, it also requires a certain amount of opportunity.

However, these are not things Su Yi needs to consider now.

Su Yi walked slowly towards the county government office, where many people were already waiting.

Most of them are young school children, while some are quite old, and even some gray-haired old people are among them.

Getting a title on the gold medal list is the highest pursuit in life for ordinary people. Once the top scorer in the exam, it can be said to be a glorious ancestor, and the entire family will become a famous family.

Therefore, many people spend their whole lives taking the imperial examinations. They fail and fail repeatedly, and even in their later years they still dream of getting a gold medal.

At the entrance of the county government office, there was a square table with many jade pendants placed on it.

Behind the square table sat an energetic old man in official uniform.

Every candidate who takes the child examination for the first time must prick his fingertip with a prepared embroidery needle and put a drop of blood on the jade pendant when he passes by the square table.

That jade pendant is a kind of identification jade pendant. It will be the candidate's admission ticket in the future. It has the candidate's name, age, place of origin and other information engraved on it.

With this admission ticket, all kinds of cheating methods such as impersonation and taking the exam can be completely eliminated.

After Su Yi received a jade pendant, he followed the team and walked into the examination room.

The examination room is a small airtight room.

According to what Li Yuanwai said, this ordinary-looking room was a magic weapon for cultivators of immortality, and it was specially built for exams in the Jin Dynasty.

As long as you are inside this magic weapon, no matter how powerful you are, you cannot cheat.

As long as ordinary people cheat, no matter what method they use, they will be transported outside the examination room by the magic weapon and will immediately lose their qualifications for the examination.

However, those who cultivate immortality cannot use any magic power or various spiritual eyes in the magic weapon, thus eliminating all possibilities of cheating.

Sitting on the wooden table and handing out the test papers, Su Yi began to write furiously.

Because it is an entry-level exam, the questions are not difficult.

However, some younger students were unable to do anything, and some candidates even handed in blank papers.

After the exam, just as Su Yi was about to leave, the invigilator suddenly announced that the next exam was about to begin, and those who were willing to participate could stay and take the exam.

Su Yi was a little confused and stepped forward to ask.

It turns out that in addition to literary classics, the exams in the Jin Dynasty also tested mathematics, that is, arithmetic.

Everything from the construction of houses and cities to the yin and yang calculations all require a certain amount of arithmetic ability.

This arithmetic test is considered an additional test and you may or may not take it.

But if you pass the exam, it will have extra points for future provincial examinations, general examinations, and even palace examinations.

Su Yi studied science in his previous life and was very interested in arithmetic in this world, so he stayed to take the arithmetic exam.

However, the questions handed out made Su Yi quite boring. They were all based on elementary school knowledge from previous lives and were not difficult at all.

It only took one-tenth of the exam time to finish all the questions and be the first to hand in the paper.

After the exam, Su Yi went straight back to his residence.

Exam results will not be released until three days later.

...

Within the next month, Su Yi took the government examination and the college examination.

The questions were not difficult, and Su Yi passed the exam easily, but today's question made Su Yi feel a little funny.

"...So the folding moment is the third of the hook and the wide, the fourth of the straight line, and the sixth of the meridian..."

This question is about the side lengths of a right triangle being three and four, and the chord length being six.

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the chord length should be five.

Su Yi didn't know whether it was because the paper was copied incorrectly or because the person who asked the question was not very good at mathematics and got the question wrong, so he said: "Sir, the student discovered that there may be an error in one of the questions."

The invigilator was the same person as the invigilator of the provincial examination. He was an energetic old man who was sitting in front of the county government office and was handing out jade pendants. Hearing this, he stood up from his seat and said, "That's nonsense. This test paper is from the Ministry of Works at that time."

How could something go wrong if it was made by an official?"

Su Yi stood up and argued: "It is indeed a mistake. The student can guarantee it."

The invigilator was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "You can't teach a child. You are just a candidate who has not even finished the child examination. What guarantee can you get?"

While the two were arguing, a middle-aged candidate sitting in the corner also said softly: "Mr. Zhang, the question is indeed wrong."

The old gentleman named Zhang followed the voice and recognized that the speaker was Carpenter Li from the county government.

The children's examination did not restrict the participation of some petty officials in the county government.

These petty officials have no meritorious status and can only be promoted if they obtain the meritorious title.

Carpenter Li specializes in building houses, so he is proficient in arithmetic. The old man named Zhang may not believe what others say, but he still believes what Carpenter Li says.

"So, is there really a mistake in that question? This matter is not trivial. After the exam, you all wait here and let me report it before making a decision." The old man surnamed Zhang pondered for a moment and then said.

After the exam, the old man surnamed Zhang hurried out. When he came back, he followed respectfully behind a middle-aged official wearing official uniform and a mustache.

"Who is talking nonsense in the examination room?" the middle-aged official scolded loudly as soon as he entered the examination room.

"These are the two candidates." The old man surnamed Zhang pointed at Su Yi and Carpenter Li and said.

Seeing that the middle-aged official was so powerful, Li Carpenter was frightened and quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Su Yi stood up and said: "The student is not talking nonsense, the test questions are indeed wrong."

The middle-aged official laughed and said: "I see that you don't even have hair, so how dare you talk nonsense here? People often say that a hairless mouth means that you can't do things well. This kid just doesn't know the heights of the sky. Why do you think so?

Also such a bastard?"

The old man surnamed Zhang turned red in the face after being scolded and was speechless for a long time.

Su Yi said calmly: "Wrong is wrong, right is right, what does age have to do with it?"

The middle-aged official looked dismissive: "You said the question was wrong, how can you prove it?"

Su Yi smiled slightly: "Prove it, prove it."

After saying that, he asked an old man named Zhang for a piece of white paper and started proving the Pythagorean theorem on the paper with a brush.

The middle-aged official's face first showed arrogance, then turned to curiosity, and finally there was a look of disbelief on his face.

"Your surname is Su Mingyi, right? I didn't expect that at the age of fourteen, you are already proficient in arithmetic. This really impresses me." The middle-aged official said with a serious face.

Su Yi thought to himself: What does this mean? I even took advanced mathematics in college, and the Pythagorean Theorem is just junior high school knowledge.

The middle-aged official was silent for a moment and then said: "To be honest, this question was asked by my teacher, who is currently the minister of the Ministry of Works. My teacher recently returned to his hometown to visit relatives and heard that there was a child examination, so he asked this question specifically.
