Chapter 187 I Think I Can Beat Them
Zhang Ziwang and Lin Jingle parted unhappily.

Pan Yun was not happy either. When she saw Cao Ye and Liu Jing, she couldn't help but think of Wang Zhen, which made her feel unhappy.

Pan Jun thought about it and realized that there was nothing she could do now so she could only practice hard.

So as soon as Yin Song left, she worked hard to practice and study.

His enthusiasm for learning was so strong that even the deans of the various colleges were frightened when they saw it.

Her cultivation level was already much higher than that of her peers, and after that day, her cultivation level increased rapidly.

When asked how they knew this, they said, of course, that her cultivation was not an ordinary one. In addition to cultivating her Yuanli, she also became very interested in swordsmanship.

The next day she went to find Zhang Liuzhen, reportedly to learn swordsmanship from him; then one day she went to the Cliff of Repentance to duel with Cheng Lingzi.

Zhang Ziwang went to watch it out of curiosity. He watched it three times and could see Pan Yun's progress every time.

In addition to practicing martial arts, her magic skills also improved rapidly.

I don't know where she got such a smart brain and comprehension. The teacher only demonstrated it once and everyone was still memorizing the hand gestures, but she had already performed it.

Moreover, she can always draw inferences from one instance and try to come up with some spells and talismans that only exist in myths and legends.

Although she is not sure whether it can be done, the fact that she dares to mention it means that she is already thinking about the feasibility.

Many people don’t even think about this step.

Although adults don't mention it, people who have cultivated to their level know how rare and precious it is to dare to think and act like this.

Innovation~~
Taoism has not produced anything new and refreshing for many years.

Whether it is thought or technique.

Zhang Ziwang watched her grow up rapidly, feeling mixed emotions and unspeakable worry in his eyes, especially since she was so close to Zhang Liuzhen.

Lin Jingle felt very complicated and a little bitter, but a glimmer of hope still ignited in his heart.

Pan Yun was the only person he had met in all these years who was as talented as Zhang Liuzhen. No, perhaps, she was even more talented.

Although Zhang Liuzhen was born with a Taoist body, Pan Yun's comprehension ability was no worse than his. In addition, she focused all her energy on cultivation. Maybe she could become the first marquis before she turned sixteen. Then, she would be the real number one Taoist in contemporary times.

Back then, Zhang Liuzhen was only one step away from becoming the first marquis, and just a little bit away from becoming the first person in five hundred years. Unfortunately...

Pan Jun had no idea that their inner world was so complicated. Although she and Pan Xiaohei noticed someone spying on them several times, she couldn't figure out who it was. She knew that the other person's cultivation was higher than hers.

Not noticing any malicious intent, and since she didn't do anything bad at the time, Pan Jun didn't take it to heart. She just thought it was a live broadcast to hand in homework when she went out to do her fieldwork in her previous life.

She wasn't used to the prying eyes of strangers, but at least she didn't find it strange.

However, Pan Yun and Pan Xiaohei became more careful in their actions.

At present, no one in the entire academy except Miaozhen and Miaohe knows that her talismans are better than her magic.

This is the trump card she kept for herself.

Pan Yun still sold talismans under the name Xuanmiao. Anyway, she had to send them things and money every two weeks.

Every time Pan Yun and her friends went down the mountain to get money or other things, they would sell talismans.

Because the talismans sold by Pan Yun were really good, and there was a big difference between them and the homework she handed in, so no one, whether in the academy or outside the academy, doubted the source of her talismans.

So, everyone knew that a prodigal son appeared in Sanqing Mountain, and he exchanged the talisman that his senior sister gave her for life-saving practice for money.

Pan Yun was eager for them to spread the news. He acted on his own in this matter with the sole purpose of making money.

The money earned can either be used to buy resources for cultivation, do good deeds to accumulate merit, or be quietly sent to Datong.

That’s right, after gaining a foothold in Longhu Mountain, Pan Yun started his journey of doing charity again.

There wasn't much she could do, just give some warmth to the beggars on the street. Although she gained little by little each time, it accumulated over time. The golden progress bar on the spiritual realm slowly moved forward, driving the blue bar to move forward slowly as well.

Not to mention, the progress of accumulating merit to unlock the seal is much faster than feeding it spiritual power.

In September, Mount Longhu became bustling with a large number of Taoists coming to take part in the ordination examination.

The Longhushan ordination examination was a test no less serious than the imperial examination.

For Taoists all over the world, it is important to obtain a certificate of ordination from the imperial court and walk the world as a Taoist priest openly and honestly; it is equally important to obtain ordination from the Tianshi Mansion and become a Taoist priest recognized by the industry.

People in this industry include but are not limited to Taoists, Buddhists, Confucians, gods, ghosts...

Whether it was Pan Yun, Miao Zhen or Miao He, it was the first time for them to witness the ordination examination.

Although the examination venue was set up in the Tianshi Mansion, many people also lived in the academy. They stayed in the Dashangqing Palace and the academy, and could also take the opportunity to ask some questions to the gentlemen in the academy to increase their chances of passing the exam.

A considerable number of them are students who graduated from the academy.

Pan Yun: "I didn't pass the exam when I was studying. How can I pass it again after graduating and going out to make a living?"

Didn’t everyone always say in their previous lives that the time they learned the most was on campus?
Miao Zhen was startled and said seriously: "So we must be ordained before leaving school, and the imperial examination can be put on hold." Miao He: "That's what Senior Brother did."

It cannot be said that the examination for ordination and the examination for certification are completely different, but they are completely unrelated anyway.

Basically, the examination for ordination will not involve any of the questions asked in the examination for ordination certificate.
The ordination examination does not involve any of the content that will be tested in the ordination examination.

Perfect for students to take two exams and have to prepare for two reviews.

The candidates didn't dare to say anything openly, but they had a lot of complaints in private.

There were so many people together that the conversation became more and more heated, and they started to bring up some old accounts from previous years.

Pan Yun and the other two were like happy badgers in a melon field. Every time they passed by these seniors, they would hear different gossip.

Of course, the one who ate the most happily and the richest melon was not the three of them, but Xuanli.

It should be said that it was Xuanli who led Pan Yun and Miao Zhen and Miao He to listen to gossip.

It was a sunny afternoon, and everyone was a little tired after practicing, so Xuanli invited them: "Let's go and play with our seniors."

Pan Jun also wanted to learn about their martial arts skills so that she could better measure her own rank in the martial arts world, so she went there excitedly.

Then she heard a lot of gossip.

The most common gossip among them is about the deans of each academy.

It turned out that among the nine academy leaders, except for Leader Xue of Mingyuan Academy and Leader Yuan of Gaoshen Academy, the other leaders were replaced one after another in the past six or seven years.

"It is said that because the eldest senior brother was injured, the previous deans either died or were injured, and all of them stepped down from the position of dean. For example, Zhang Ziming, the dean of Shihua Academy, was urgently appointed as the dean. He was considered to be the tallest among the short people. Because of this, his cultivation was not enough and he liked to retreat the most."

Pan Yun suddenly realized and asked, "Except for Dean Xue and Dean Yuan, among the seven new Deans, Dean Zhang Ziwang should have the highest cultivation level, right?"

"From the perspective of the dean, that's true, but if you ask me, the one with the highest cultivation level in that generation would probably be Hall Master Lin."

"I don't think so. How come you forgot about Brother Cheng Lingzi on the Cliff of Repentance?"

"Brother Cheng Lingzi is not from their generation, right? He has been on the cliff of regret all the time. Everyone calls him brother, but do you know when he went to the cliff of regret?"

Pan Yun took advantage of the opportunity to ask, "I don't know, when?"

"I don't know either, but it must have been very early. It's just that people basically don't mention Siguo Cliff or Senior Brother Cheng Lingzi, so I think he has been greatly underestimated."

"If you say that, I have to mention Senior Sister Zhang Li who proposed to go to Sanqing Mountain. She was a genius second only to Senior Brother. Dean Zhang and Hall Master Lin were all weak in front of her."

"A hero never brags about his past achievements. She was seriously injured later, and her cultivation is no longer as good as that of Dean Zhang and Hall Master Lin."

"The alchemy of Mount Sanqing is world-famous. I think Senior Sister Zhang Li's injury has been healed a long time ago. She will definitely be able to surpass Dean Zhang and his team."

Pan Yun couldn't help but interrupt, "Is it possible that her cultivation is now higher than Zhang Ziwang's?"

Zhang Ziwang's supporter was unhappy and frowned at her, "Who are you? Children should not interrupt when adults are talking."

Pan Yun: "I am a current student of the academy and the current owner of the academy. Can I not speak in the academy?"

Xuan Li was afraid that she would quarrel with her senior brothers and sisters and affect her to listen to gossip in the future, and was even more afraid that Pan Jun would not be able to beat them and get herself into trouble, so he quickly pulled her away, "Let's go, let's go, class is about to start."

Pan Yun was taken away.

Xuan Li thought that after this incident, Pan Jun would stay away from these senior brothers and sisters and stay away from this place, but who knew that she would go upstairs.

Later, Xuan Li got tired of listening to gossip and stopped going, but Pan Jun still went.

Every time I went there, at the beginning everyone would always be able to exchange some gossip with each other in a friendly manner, but in the end they would always quarrel over something and then fight.

They didn't fight hard because they all knew that this was an academy and fighting was forbidden, so they fought quietly.

After the beating, no matter who gets bruised or battered, the Criminal Law Hall and the professors of other departments are not allowed to know about it.

Xuan Li was stunned at first, but finally figured out that Pan Jun was not here to listen to gossip, but to practice with someone.

Xuan Li: "You crazy cultivator, how come you can think of asking them to practice with you just by hearing some gossip?"

Pan Yun: "Everything is an accident. Besides, this is a mutually beneficial thing. The ordination exam also tests one's cultivation. Otherwise, why didn't they say a word after being beaten by me for so many days?"

"Isn't it because even though they were beaten by me, they also benefited a lot?"

Xuan Li: “…”

She turned her head and said to Miao Zhenmiao: "Your junior master has a lot of crooked ideas."

Miao Zhen: "It's not a far-fetched theory. They did gain a lot from fighting with Junior Master."

Miao He was still eager to try, "Why don't we go too? I think my martial arts skills are pretty good. I've watched them for a few days, and I should be able to beat one."
