I proved immortality through the imperial examination.

Chapter 94 Ovary
Xue Xiang laughed and said, "What are you talking about? I've never even touched a book."

Liu Mei said, "That's because the young master is confident in the written test, so he naturally focuses on the cultivation test."

The key to the cultivation test is the cultivation level.

Furthermore, one of the young master's purposes in coming to Suiyang Town was to gain extra points.

Xue Xiang laughed loudly, "And what about the second objective?"

"Achievements and accomplishments earn one's aspirations."

This is also a way to improve one's cultivation level; essentially, it's preparation for the county examination.

Xue Xiang could no longer laugh. He had never told Liu Mei any of this, yet she was able to analyze it meticulously from the existing information.

“But I think the young master hasn’t done enough.”

"What's not enough?"

Xue Xiang said solemnly.

Liu Mei said, "My lord, you want to achieve great things and gather auspicious energy."

Making significant strides in Suiyangdu is certainly a far-sighted endeavor.

But there's no need to give up on desires that are readily available.

"Sister Mei, what is it?"

Xue Xiang excitedly grabbed Liu Mei's soft hand.

Compared to talent, he lacks ambition even more.

When these two are used together, they are extremely effective for writing certain powerful characters.

Liu Mei asked, "How did you, sir, bring down Tong Sheng, Zhang Leng, and Liu Xiao?"

According to the official letter, the charges against these three individuals have been confirmed.

My husband often says that if there's one cockroach in the house, it's enough to prove that there are already a bunch of cockroaches in the house.

The evil deeds committed by Tong Sheng, Zhang Leng, and Liu Xiao are far more than these.

If you are willing to bring me the case files, I can review them and identify the most problematic ones to push for the exoneration of wrongful convictions.

At that time, the young man will receive countless thanks; why should he worry about the people not gathering in his favor?

"hiss!"

Xue Xiang stood up excitedly, as he was completely oblivious to the situation. "Is there anything else? Good sister."

Liu Mei's handsome face flushed slightly. "Then there's Suiyang Ferry. It seems prosperous, but in reality, it harbors hidden dangers."

I have a rough idea of ​​what my lord wrote at Suiyang Ferry.

The young master has grand ambitions, but as the business grows bigger, more people will be eyeing it.

This isn't just some trivial matter like "Cloud News," but a thriving ferry crossing that will truly flourish once it takes off.

Huge profits attract bloodthirsty sharks.

In handling the "News from the Clouds," the young master was willing to give up 90% of his profits.

It is expected that they will also share the profits at Suiyang Ferry.

But just because you survived the crisis by sharing profits back then doesn't mean you can do it now.

The crux of the matter is that when the battle for the newspaper took place, Langjun had already secured "Fanjian," putting him in an invincible position.

But how can you, my lord, ensure an invincible position in the management of Suiyang Ferry?

"My sister is truly my Zhang Liang."

Xue Xiang excitedly hugged Liu Mei tightly.

Liu Mei struggled a little, but her whole body went limp, so she let him hold her.

Xue Xiang was moved and looked at Liu Mei's full red lips. He was about to kiss her, but Liu Mei blocked him with her hand.

Her face flushed red, and she shook her head, "Once my husband is married, I'll let him do as he pleases..."

"I will marry the older sister."

Xue Xiang blushed and felt a surge of heat in his heart, wishing he could tear his heart out.

Liu Mei shook her head, "My lord, please don't talk nonsense..."

She was sold into the Xue family at a young age and had long since become accustomed to belittling her own status.

Her greatest wish was to be taken as a concubine by Xue Xiang.

I worked hard to learn characters for this reason.

I strive to cultivate myself for this very reason.

"Alright, alright, don't make things difficult for your older sister."

Xue Xiang composed himself, unwilling to interrupt Liu Mei's brainstorming session, and said, "Please continue, sister."

Liu Mei took a sip of tea to calm her nerves. She was still embarrassed by having just revealed her feelings and dared not look at Xue Xiang. "On Suiyang Ferry, I can't think of how you managed to remain undefeated."

But my lord is wary; I fear a murderous intent is about to befall me. "A murderous intent?"

"Have you noticed the news in the 'Cloud News' that Oju Trading Company has been sold?"

"Ok?"

"I noticed that Oju Trading Company is a business owned by the Su family, mainly dealing in textiles, and the business is very successful."

The Daju Trading Company was suddenly put up for sale. I asked my elder brother to inquire about it. The buyer's surname was Jian, and the second patriarch of Canaan County was named Jian Qiuping.

Xue Xiang gasped.

With the position of magistrate of Suiyang Town vacant, Xue Xiang had always been wary of Su Suiran taking over.

After all, Su Suiran is a veteran vice dean, and if Xie Haiya hadn't come, he would have been promoted to the seventh dean long ago.

Now, being transferred to Suiyang Town is a natural progression.

He had expressed his concerns to Wei Yang and Xie Haiya, but both of them said they would stop him.

He hadn't expected that Su Suiran would go so far as to work her way up to Canaan County, bypassing the system of Yunmeng City.

If Jian Qiuping gets involved, it's practically certain that Su Suiran will be transferred to Suiyang Town.

Xue Xiang didn't believe that Su Suiran would let this opportunity slip by.

"If Su Suiran were to come, could you possibly stand up to her?"

Liu Mei looked worried.

Xue Xiang had no idea what to do for the time being, but not wanting Liu Mei to worry, he smiled and said, "I have Sister Mei, who am I afraid of?"

Liu Mei felt a sweet warmth in her heart. "Just now you said I was your Zifang. What does Zifang mean?"

Xue Xiang rolled his eyes and said, "Zifang means children and house. Without my sister, where would I get my children? No place would feel like home."

Liu Mei couldn't take it anymore and covered her face as she ran away.

After returning to his room and lying down, Xue Xiang continued to think about Liu Mei's analysis, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

He quickly reviewed the situation and racked his brains for a way to break the deadlock.

Following Liu Mei's line of thought, we will find a way to achieve invincibility.

Suddenly, a ray of light pierced through the darkness.

He smiled brightly, "Su Suiran, I was really afraid you wouldn't come."

…………

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the Palm Seal Courtyard, in the alchemy room.

Sunlight streamed through the skylight into the spotless west wing, where Xue Xiang sat on a prayer mat.

Amidst the starry clouds, the hazy spiritual light emanating from the spirit stone gently seeped into his body.

As time passed, the pores on Xue Xiang's arms opened completely, and each hair stood up like a steel needle.

Suddenly, a thunderous sound came from his chest and abdomen.

This is the power of the Nebula Overlord Body Technique. Half a month ago, he finally completed all the trial and error work and mastered the Nebula Overlord Body Technique.

For the past two weeks, he has been using the Nebula Overlord Body Technique to draw spiritual energy into his body, with remarkable results.

At that moment, a dazzling light emanated from his lower abdomen, and then the light subsided.

Xue Xiang finished his practice and sighed deeply, "The barrier of realm is indeed difficult to break through."

He has now reached the third level of Qi Refining and has tried to break through to the fourth level several times, but has failed each time.

Qian Ming once said that the Qi Refining Realm appears to have ten levels, but it is actually four realms.

The first to third floors are the initial phase.

Floors four through six are considered the middle period.

Floors seven through nine are the later stages.

The tenth level represents the Great Perfection.

There are no internal barriers in each phase, and cultivation proceeds smoothly.

When crossing boundaries, one will encounter obstacles.

Xue Xiang has the Wenxu Blessed Land, and the only miraculous effect of his Wenxu Platform is to help people break through their cultivation realm.

However, he had a limited number of Wenxu Pearls and was reluctant to use them, so he thought he would try to break through to the next realm himself.

Whether it was due to poor aptitude or some other reason, he tried to break through to a higher realm for more than ten days in a row.

Now, he can't wait any longer.

Because he couldn't advance to the next level of Qi cultivation, his literary Qi cultivation was greatly hindered.

With a thought, he entered the Wenxu Blessed Land and sat upright on the Wenxu Platform.
