I just passed the imperial examination, what the heck is this "Celestial Official System"?

"Like a gentle rain!"

Manager Zheng skillfully concealed his shock.

Almost no one in the agricultural repair community of Shannan County knew what the scene in Song Liling's field represented.

He had been to the North and met many important figures, so he knew very well how rare it was for a timely and effective rain to fall.

Let's just say that.

That alone.

Song Li was qualified to seek opportunities in the government office.

If placed in a corner of Shannan County, he would be a farming prodigy who appears only once in a century.

Perhaps there are other people in the other rooms who are more outstanding than Song Li, but since he is an agricultural cultivator, he naturally prefers the younger generation who have talent in the agricultural cultivation lineage.

"I underestimated this boy."

Zheng knew that Song Li liked to hide his talents, but he never expected that he had hidden so much. If he hadn't promised him good fortune, even he would have been kept in the dark.

Compared to the old farmer who planted the spirit wheat earlier.

He was more interested in Song Li, who had not yet graduated.

Just as the old farmers and officials were using every means to win the favor of the red-tailed bird.

Changes also began to occur in Song Li's spiritual field.

Large grains of wheat emerged, accompanied by a unique aroma.

soon.

A small sparrow, about the size of a palm, with black feathers all over its body except for a crimson tail, was attracted by the strange fragrance and fluttered its wings to fly over.

The first red-tailed finches landed on Song Li's ears of wheat.

Followed by.

The second one.

The third one.

In the blink of an eye, three red-tailed birds were attracted to Song Li's spirit field.

This achievement is already no worse than that of an old agricultural official at the sixth level of Qi Gathering.

To know.

These old agricultural officials had cultivated themselves for decades longer than Song Li.

Seniority is erased at this moment.

Upon seeing this, the agricultural officials were all speechless with astonishment at the sheer number of red-tailed finches.

"Good lad!"

Zheng's eyes lit up. When he was Song Li's age, he attracted three red-tailed birds and was praised by the centurion of the Zhenbei Army as a natural-born farmer. Now, Song Li's talent is no less than his.

In other words, one can enter the eighth rank without the imperial court's favor, relying solely on one's own abilities.

Even though there are many people in the Great Zhou who can cultivate, an eighth-grade cultivator is already a dragon among men.

He was even a sect leader-level figure in the minor sects of cultivation.

"not enough."

Song Li was unaware of what Master Zheng was thinking.

Concealing one's talents does not mean giving up all opportunities.

To simply hide is foolish.

When it's time to fight, we must fight.

The reason we didn't compete before was because our offer wasn't high enough.

They're all cheating.

Three isn't enough?

His spiritual energy circulated again, and the quality of his spiritual energy from cultivating the Everlasting Spring Technique surpassed that of ordinary cultivators of the same level. It was with this advantage that he was able to close the gap in cultivation level with those old farmers and officials. Moreover, because of the special nature of his spiritual energy, he was even more favored by the Red-tailed Sparrow.

"Give it to me!"

The fragrance in the spirit field became even stronger.

Even Zhao Hui from the neighboring field could smell it.

The fourth one.

The fifth one!

Five red-tailed finches.

The scene was so breathtaking that Zhao Hui, who was farming nearby, forgot to cast the Sweet Rain spell. He counted the five red-tailed sparrows flying around the spirit field, and his heart almost skipped a beat.

Be nice.

Brother Song is a genius?!

Zhao Hui's eyes widened.

Grade A.

No.

A, get on!

When Manager Zheng saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile.

He returned from the northern border with the intention of retiring from military service and returning to his hometown. Having grown accustomed to the bright sun and moon, he had never been interested in the affairs of Shannan County. However, a newcomer in his farmhouse gave him one surprise after another.

He was immediately moved by the talent.

Song Lineng brought forth a timely rain, attracting five red-tailed birds.

This is not just a matter of spiritual power, but rather that this child has a natural affinity for agricultural cultivation techniques.

Some people are born to be farmers!

......

......

Three days later.

The spring planting mini-exam is over.

Only nine people successfully grew the spirit wheat, and almost all of them were among the most senior members of the farm.

This was expected.

After all, when talents are comparable, those who survive longer generally become stronger.

Therefore.

Song Li stood out conspicuously.

Among the people who grew the spirit wheat, only two of them attracted five red-tailed sparrows.

As for the cultivator who failed to grow spirit wheat, the evaluation was based on the maturity and quality of the spirit wheat.

Even though Manager Zheng was not one to follow rules, he did not intend to stigmatize everyone in the farmhouse as a low-class person.

"Zhou Fu, Class D."

"Ma Shuo, Ding et al."

......

......

Deputy Director Li read aloud the rankings for this assessment.

A series of grades D.

This is arguably the most tragic incident involving a rural house in the last thirty years.

"Zhao Hui, Class C."

Hearing his name called, Zhao Hui breathed a sigh of relief. If he had been classified as a "D" (low-ranking) student, he probably would never have seen Zheng Wei again after today.

Then, Deputy Director Li spoke again:

"Huo Zhun, Class B."

"Lu Ran, Class B."

"Sun Yuan, Class B."

......

Finally, only two people remained on the list of agricultural officials, and they were also the only two people who attracted five red-tailed birds in this assessment.

The old farmer Xie Yingjue, whose hair was already white, looked at Song Li with kindness.

He possessed the cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Gathering and had previously served as the deputy head of the farmhouse for decades. It was only after becoming disheartened that he voluntarily resigned from his position and became a leisurely farm official.

If it weren't for Manager Zheng showing him the possibility of a breakthrough, he would probably have just gotten a B grade in this assessment and gotten by.

"Young Master Song is exceptionally talented; I, an old man, am completely outmatched."

Xie Yingjue has never liked talking to people, but Song Li's amazing performance made him willing to talk more.

"Thank you for being so kind, sir."

Song Li replied.

When dealing with elderly government officials, it's always good to be polite.

The two exchanged only one sentence.

Then they heard Deputy Chief Li call out their names.

"Thank you for your decision, Class A."

"Song Li..."

Deputy Director Li possessed the talent Song Li had as a host in his previous life, and deliberately elongated his voice.

"Grade A"

As everyone expected, the armored figure did not appear.

Unexpectedly, it makes sense.

Although there is only one character difference between "A-shang" and "A-deng", the difference is huge. A grade of A-deng can be reported to the county magistrate, who will generally not refuse in order to win over the heads of his nine departments. But A-shang is different; it must be reported to Huanglong Prefecture.

One pass in the A-level exam is equivalent to half a minor achievement.

The spots are, of course, extremely precious.

It's normal for Manager Zheng not to give the position to A.

Xie Yingjue looked somewhat surprised, but then took the initiative to comfort him: "Young Brother Song is still young and has a bright future ahead of him. It's just one test, there's no need to be discouraged."

Song Li was speechless, but facing this kind old farmer official, he still bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your peace of mind, sir. It is already very good that I have been awarded the first grade. I dare not ask for more credit."

"He's got the makings of an official."

Xie Yingjue praised it.

Remaining calm in the face of both honor and disgrace—these four words are simple to say, but extremely difficult to practice.

Since it concerns his interests, if he had failed to attract five red-tailed birds this time, he probably wouldn't have been as calm as Song Li was in front of him.

Mature beyond his years.

That must be someone like Song Li.

The rankings have been announced.

Then they heard Manager Zheng say to Xie Yingjue and Song Li:

"Come with me."
