Becoming a Sage Starts From Condensing the Essence of Time

Chapter 102: Green Mountain Sword Drinks the Righteousness, Viewing the Age in the Literary Monument (3)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although Green Mountain was extraordinary and could not be compared to a dog, the Headmasters of the Literary Department had this feeling at this moment.

In front of the Literary Monument, it was the easiest to activate the righteousness for the first time. The further one went, the harder it became. It was as difficult as reaching the sky.

It might be impossible for An Le to obtain righteousness again.

The Heart Questioning Forest disappeared without a trace. Many reference Confucian scholars who were lost in it regained their clarity and stopped running around like headless flies.

They also saw the young man standing in front of the monument hut and stirring up the righteousness.

Many Confucian scholars on the Literary Music Ranking felt as if they had been struck by lightning. The pride in their hearts felt like it had been completely shattered.

However, as the righteousness surging in the Literary Monument was absorbed by the broken bamboo sword, the Confucian scholars felt a sense of comfort from gloating.

Seeing that An Le had not obtained the righteousness, they were secretly delighted.

They felt that this Master An had not been blessed with righteousness just like them, so he was not so impressive and incomparable.

Under the night sky, a breeze blew and it was silent.

Madam Hua’s Primordial Spirit looked at Zhao Huangting in confusion. Even Li You’an could not bear to look at him.

The two of them seemed to be asking what was going on with Green Mountain?!

Just as he was about to gain righteousness, Green Mountain came out and interfered…

Was Green Mountain a spy planted by Zhao Huangting?

Zhao Huangting was also very speechless. “Don’t look at me. How would I know what’s going on?”

“Back then, when I looked at this Literary Monument, I didn’t attract the righteousness. If I had known that Green Mountain loved to drink righteousness, I wouldn’t be regretting it now. I should have slashed the Literary Monument with my sword back then.”

Zhao Huangting smacked his lips.

If he obtained righteousness, An Le would be filled with righteousness. The path of cultivation could break through easily. Demons and monsters would not dare to approach him. Cultivation would be a smooth path, and stepping into the ninth realm would not be a problem.

However, the problem was that now that righteousness had been intercepted by Green Mountain, everyone felt a little uncomfortable and regretful.

“However, Green Mountain is rather mysterious. All these years, I’ve only scratched the surface of it. Perhaps the Green Mountain that has drunk all of it can undergo an evolution that I don’t know about and nourish An Le,” Zhao Huangting thought for a moment and said.

“Actually, Green Mountain is An Le’s sword and contains righteousness. It’s similar to An Le having righteousness.” Li You’an said.

However, everyone knew that these were just comforting words. righteousness was naturally very different from swords to people.

“An Le seemed to have consumed a lot of mental power just now. Perhaps

Green Mountain left a bit of righteousness for him?”

Madam Hua pondered for a moment and could only explain.

However, it had to be said that everyone was still quite regretful that they could not see the birth of a righteous scholar.

Everyone stopped observing and dispersed their mental power.

In the pavilion.

An Le raised Green Mountain and gently rubbed it with his palm. He could feel that Green Mountain, which had absorbed the white clear qi, seemed to have undergone a different change.

Green Mountain seemed to enjoy An Le’s touch as sword light flowed.

The other Ink Pool Sword at his waist did not dare to move in front of righteousness, let alone absorb it.

Although An Le had not obtained righteousness, it was not that he had not gained anything. His mental power between his eyebrows had been exhausted, but he would definitely become stronger after recovery. In addition, he had already lost his share of the 18 wisps of Age Qi from the Literary Monument today, but he could absorb additional energy. It was equivalent to developing another function of the light screen. An Le was also happy.

Looking at the images of the ancient and dissolute seniors, An Le’s cultivation and knowledge had improved greatly.

Although he did not have the righteousness, An Le was not too disappointed. In fact, he was looking forward to it.

Holding Green Mountain, he could vaguely sense that the righteousness in the

Literary Monument was undergoing some changes or even fusing with the Green Mountain sword qi. When the changes were completed, it would also feedback to his body.

Green Mountain hung on his waist. An Le’s face was still pale from exhaustion. He took a step back and bowed to the Literary Monument.

He stopped looking at the monument and turned to leave the monument hut.

Bathed in the starlight, he left elegantly.

On the Literary Monument, the starlight dissipated without a trace, returning to the ancient and ordinary state that had been silent for ten thousand years. Second Headmaster Pang Ji stroked his beard and sighed softly. He looked at the young man who was still carefree even though he had not obtained righteousness, but his eyes were filled with admiration.

“The results have been tallied. Can everyone remember them?”

The Second Headmaster looked at the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites official put away the booklet and bowed to the

Headmaster.

When the Heart Questioning Forest disappeared, they used their mental power to measure each candidate’s results.

The first place was naturally An Le, who had stepped into the monument hut. After that, it was evaluated according to distance.

Han Shi, who had been recommended by Cangzhou’s army, was ranked fifth. He suppressed many Confucian scholars on the Literary Music Ranking, which was rather surprising.

Third Headmaster Wang Banshan had always been dissatisfied with the Literary Department and wanted to make bold reforms. However, it had always been suppressed by the Imperial Court.

Therefore, the one who really devoted all his effort to nurturing the Confucian scholars in the Literary Department and teaching them knowledge was his Second Headmaster, Pang Ji.

Unfortunately, the results this time really disappointed him.

“Headmaster, we’ll leave first. The results of the cultivation level are out. Coupled with the results of the Spring Quarter Examination, the list of candidates for the List A Scholar Ranking can be roughly confirmed. In addition, the quota for the Hall Examination can basically be confirmed.”

The official from the Ministry of Rites cupped his fists and bowed respectfully to the Second Headmaster.

The Second Headmaster also sent off the officials of the Ministry of Rites. An Le left the Literary Monument. Han Shi, who was carrying a saber on his back, was extremely excited and came over with a flushed face.

“Master An, you’re really impressive. You actually ascended the Literary Monument and even mobilized the righteousness. Although you didn’t gain the righteousness, it’s enough to make your name famous in Lin’an again!” “We have to be happy today. Shall we have a drink?”

Han Shi was very excited. This time, he suppressed many Confucian scholars on the Literary Music Ranking and was ranked fifth. He was even more delighted.

An Le smiled and said, “Sure, I’ll bring you to drink.”

The two of them bade farewell to the Second Headmaster. Under the complicated gazes of many Confucian scholars on the Literary Music Ranking, Han Shi could not help but laugh happily and leave.

An Le and Han Shi left the Literary Department and headed straight for the lively long street of Lin’an Prefecture.

The starlight and moon were cold, scattering on the long street.

The Ministry of Rites began to calculate the results of the Spring Quarter Examination written test and the martial test intensively. They made a list of candidates for the List B.

On the other side.

The Spring Quarter Examination ended. The extravagance and prosperity that

Lin’an Prefecture had been suppressing for many days revealed its glory again. The long night seemed to have become much more lively. The lights had just lit up and it was bright all night.

The flower boat on the West Lake was decorated with lights and flowers, and it was merry every night.

The Falling Flower Pavilion was filled to the brim. It was difficult to find one, and the singing and dancing lasted for a long time.

An Le, who was in a good mood, brought Han Shi, who was blinded by Lin’an’s night scenery, to a small tavern in Yanchun, a remote alley. The extravagance was gone, and the prosperity was gone.

They returned from riches to simplicity.

“Lady Boss, serve the wine..”
