No one really thinks cultivating immortality is difficult, right?

Wei State Examination Hall.

There are also many students from ten countries taking the final exam here.

Many monks, after passing the Flesh Tower, went directly to the Tribute Hall.

They didn't want to waste time. After all, they knew they couldn't break the record. It would be better for them to come to the Imperial Examination Hall and review well.

And because the third stage is the civil service examination, a large number of monks gathered outside the Imperial Examination Hall. They were looking forward to this examination.

After all, I've seen so many fights between geniuses that it's quite interesting to watch some literary fights occasionally.

"Ye Tianjiao is here."

"Senior Brother Ye is here."

"Tsk tsk, if I had a son I'd want to be like Ye Tianjiao."

"I don't know how talented Senior Brother Ye is in writing."

"Brother Ye is obviously a scholar. I bet he has great literary talent."

"Yes, Senior Brother Ye is well-educated, so he probably won't be that bad."

Everyone discussed that Ye Ping's temperament was like that of a peerless Confucian scholar, and subconsciously felt that Ye Ping should be a person who had read some books.

Under the Wei State Examination Hall.

Ye Ping bowed slightly to everyone very politely.

Then we arrived at the gate of Gongyuan.

At this moment, there were many books placed on both sides of the Gongyuan gate, and there were also several elders guarding it.

"Ye Ping, the books on both sides contain the test questions for this year's literary examination. You can choose to take a look at them first."

"Once you enter the Imperial Examination Hall, you cannot leave. Be careful."

The elder spoke up and told Ye Ping that there were examination questions for the civil service examination in the books on both sides.

Because once you enter the Imperial Examination Hall, you cannot leave.

"Thank you, elder, for reminding me."

Ye Ping nodded. As for Wen Ju, Ye Ping didn’t think he had a sure win, even though he had become famous with his calligraphy from his previous life when he first traveled through time.

But the civil service examination is different. No matter how good your essay is, if it is not relevant to the topic, you will definitely not pass.

So Ye Ping was very cautious. He opened the books on the desks on both sides and read them carefully.

There were hundreds of books in total, most of which were biographies of people. Ye Ping read them carefully, not daring to miss anything.

A full hour later.

Ye Ping read hundreds of books and memorized them all.

After making sure, Ye Ping walked into the Imperial Examination Hall.

At this moment.

There were hundreds of desks in the Imperial Examination Hall, but only half of them were students participating in the competition. The vast majority of students were either taking tests in the Flesh Tower or reading books outside.

After all, Wen Ju is a headache for many monks.

They know a lot, but it is still difficult for them to write articles.

"Sir, follow me."

At this time, a book boy from the Imperial Examination Hall came over and guided Ye Ping to a desk.

There were three red wooden blocks on the desk, and the book boy pointed at the blocks and said.

"My Lord, the test questions are inside this piece of wood."

He said so.

Ye Ping nodded in thanks, then turned over the block of wood.

On the first piece, the word "Advice" is engraved.

On the second piece, it is engraved with [Fortune]

On the third piece, it is engraved with [英杰]

The so-called literary examination questions are to write an essay based on one of the three questions, which is to test the ability of the writers.

If the essay can perfectly meet the test questions, even if it is a little mediocre, it can be considered a top-notch piece.

Articles are articles, and literary examinations are literary examinations.

The most important thing in the examination is answering the question, while the most important thing in an article is its connotation.

After seeing the test questions, Ye Ping was slightly stunned.

Thinking of the books outside, Ye Ping suddenly understood.

Sure enough, the test questions were hidden in the books.

For a moment, Ye Ping did not write, but was in deep thought.

He was thinking about what article to write.

Advice, fortune, and heroes.

Just pick one.

But if you want to get into high school in one go, the essay you write must answer all the questions.

However, no matter which of these three questions he takes, Ye Ping is confident that he can write a perfect article.

But it is a bit difficult to write them all down.

“Ah!!! How should I write this?”

In the Imperial Examination Hall, a monk could not help but frown. The brush in his hand fell, and the ink soaked the article. He let out a wail, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"No one is allowed to make loud noises in the Imperial Examination Hall. Please drive them away."

In an instant, an extremely loud voice rang out.

It was the voice of the examiner, a great scholar from ten countries. As soon as the voice rang out, an invisible force immediately sent the student out of the Imperial Examination Hall.

This is the power of great scholars, their words are divine.

Ye Ping looked at all this and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't expect that literati actually had such ability. If he had known it earlier, he might have chosen the path of a Confucian scholar.

But now is not the time to think about this.

Ye Ping closed his eyes tightly.

He was thinking hard, and one masterpiece after another flashed through his mind.

But unfortunately, none of the articles fit the theme, or to be more precise, none of them fits these three themes.

Ugh.

Brain pain.

A full hour later.

Just when Ye Ping was thinking hard.

Suddenly.

A breeze blew.

A gentle breeze blew, rippling Ye Ping's long gown.

But in an instant, Ye Ping seemed to have an epiphany.

Advice, fortune, hero?

At this moment, an article appeared in Ye Ping's mind.

The next moment, this article rose in my mind like a sun.

“That’s it!”

“That’s it!”

“That’s it!”

Ye Ping clenched his fists, he was ecstatic. For a scholar, such a burst of inspiration was an opportunity that could not be missed.

After thinking hard for an hour, I suddenly understood. This feeling makes my scalp tingle.

"call!"

Ye Ping exhaled deeply, then he waved his hand, and a light green wolf-hair brush appeared between his fingers.

next moment.

Ye Ping wrote on the blank rice paper.

"There are unexpected changes in the weather, and people are subject to fortune and misfortune at any time."

"A centipede has a hundred legs, but it cannot walk as fast as a snake."

"A rooster cannot fly faster than a crow."

“A horse may travel a thousand miles, but it cannot go by itself without a rider.”

“If a man has lofty ambitions, he cannot achieve them without luck.”

Every word Ye Ping wrote was filled with life and spirit.

But at the moment Ye Ping put down his brush, beams of golden light burst out from the entire piece of rice paper.

Boom boom boom.

At this moment, the stone statues in the Imperial Examination Hall were shaking. These stone statues were the statues of great Confucian scholars from the Ten Kingdoms. Moreover, those who could "erect statues" in the Imperial Examination Hall were not ordinary great Confucian scholars.

Instead, he is a great scholar recognized by heaven and earth, who masters the power of words and can command the destiny with his words and pens, and make his words come true.

The three examiners who supervised the exam were also great scholars among the Ten Kingdoms, but they were not qualified to have statues erected in the Imperial Examination Hall.

However, the stone statue of the great scholar in the Imperial Examination Hall suddenly trembled, attracting countless people to watch.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

"Look, the article written by Senior Brother Ye actually glows?"

"What kind of magical power is this? I want to learn it too."

"Every word is worth a thousand gold. Every word is worth a thousand gold. This is every word worth a thousand gold."

"What do you mean by a thousand gold coins?"

"Hiss, what kind of article is Senior Brother Ye writing? Every word is worth a thousand gold coins?"

In the Imperial Examination Hall, all the students taking the exam were shocked, especially a few students who understood something instantly and stared at Ye Ping with their eyes wide open.

"What exactly is a word worth a thousand gold? One word worth a thousand taels of gold, is it that precious?"

Some people still didn't understand and couldn't help asking.

"You are really illiterate. The saying "a word is worth a thousand pieces of gold" means that this person's writing is of immeasurable value. Every word is worth a thousand pieces of gold and extremely precious. But this is just a description. It does not mean that it is only worth one thousand pieces of gold. It is a precious description."

"Yes, only articles that can protect a country can have a phenomenon of one word being worth a thousand gold. An article with hundreds of words can be worth a thousand gold and can protect the fortune of a country. I didn't expect that Senior Brother Ye not only has incredible strength, but also has such great literary talent?"

"It should be a national treasure. Oh my god, a national treasure. Even great scholars cannot write such an article. Throughout history, only the imperial examinations of ten countries can produce national treasures. This article can suppress the fortune of an entire country."

"The article is the guardian of the country, and the scholar is a great scholar. If Senior Brother Ye finishes writing this article, he can directly achieve the position of a great scholar. It is against the will of heaven. This is simply against the will of heaven."

In the Imperial Examination Hall, there were also some monks who understood the literary examination and knew the classification of literati, so they could not help but speak out and were extremely shocked.

"What? One article can make you a great scholar?"

"Is this true? One article can make a great scholar? Is there such a saying?"

"There are only seven great scholars in the entire Wei Kingdom. Can you become a great scholar just by writing an article? Are you kidding me?"

However, some people were shocked and did not believe that one could become a great scholar just by writing one article.

In their eyes, no matter how good an article is, it is impossible for it to make a person a great scholar directly, right?

"It's ridiculous. Do you think Confucianism and Taoism are the same as spiritual practice? Confucianism and Taoism emphasize enlightenment in one day and ascend to heaven in broad daylight. What do you mean by a random article? Open your eyes and look at it. This is a national article. Even great scholars may not be able to write it."
