After entering the royal city, Ye Fan accompanied the three girls to wander around the streets and alleys of the city, planning to buy a suitable house and settle down.
The scale of the royal city is so huge that even if you visit it in ten days, you can't finish it.
The three girls soon settled on a one-acre private house in the south of the city with beautiful scenery. The small courtyard is quite quiet inside and outside. It only needs spending money to renovate it, and it will be an elegant house.
The owner of the other courtyard is a middle-aged businessman wearing a gray robe. He is going out to do business. He is planning to buy the courtyard of this royal city and raise some money to develop elsewhere.
"The houses in this royal city are expensive. Every inch of land is precious. Can you guys afford it?"
The middle-aged businessman looked at the four of Ye Fan and saw that they were all very young, and felt a little contemptuous.
Moreover, seeing that the four of them looked like they had just arrived in the royal city, they did not carry any packages in their hands. I couldn't help but wonder if they really wanted to buy it.
"Make a price! Buy it if it suits you."
Ye Fan smiled.
He knew that the middle-aged businessman in front of him was an ordinary person. He didn't have enough eyesight to see his identity, so he didn't care.
"Twenty yuan stones and one thousand taels of gold invoice! If you can afford the price, I will sell this house to you!"
The middle-aged businessman and the landlord thought of him as a young man from another county. He immediately raised his finger and opened his mouth to kill him.
The private houses in the royal city are indeed very valuable, but they are usually priced in gold and rarely in yuan stones. Moreover, Yuanshi and gold on the market will not be exchanged, and you can only buy things of different levels.
He was a little greedy, so he asked for the Yuan Stone.
Ye Fan was a little surprised. He could see that the middle-aged businessman was not a warrior, so he couldn't help but ask: "You are just an ordinary person, not even a warrior. What do you want the Yuan Stone for? This is something that the Martial Lord cultivates."
"That's right!"
"You are a businessman, and you still use Yuan Stone to do business?"
The three women were also surprised.
"What do you little girls know? I can't use it, but my son can! My son is now a master of the seventh level of martial arts. In a few years, he might be able to break through and become a martial master! I had planned this in advance. Do you have Yuan Stone? If you do, I will sell the house to you. If you don't, forget it!"
The middle-aged businessman couldn't help but wave his hand and said rather contemptuously.
Ye Fan said nothing and didn't bother to bargain. He took out twenty-five yuan stones and handed them to the middle-aged businessman and said: "I didn't bring the gold ticket, but five yuan stones can be exchanged for thousands of taels anywhere." You can change the golden ticket yourself."
"Okay, no problem! Young Master is so happy, it's a deal, it's a deal!"
The middle-aged businessman's face immediately changed, and his originally contemptuous expression suddenly changed. He took over twenty yuan stones with great surprise and hurriedly handed over the house deed to Ye Fan, for fear that Ye Fan would change his mind.
The middle-aged businessman carefully packed dozens of Yuan stones in money bags, hid them in his arms, and left happily.
"Hmph, dogs look down on people!"
"This is the case in the land of the royal city! Forget it, leave him alone. Let's go and take a look at our house."
The three women cursed a few times and entered the small house. They quickly became excited and walked around the yard and the house. There are also some flowers and plants planted in the small yard.
This is a very small private house. For the three young ladies from aristocratic families in Donglai County, it is obviously a very low-end residence. But this is in the royal city, and only the three of them live there. A larger mansion is not suitable for the three of them.
"This small courtyard is a bit old. In the afternoon, you can find some craftsmen in the city to renovate the entire house inside and outside, and decorate it into a small mansion. It will be very good!"
Ye Fan looked around the small courtyard and smiled.
…
After nearly a day of busy work, after the three girls settled down in the royal city, Ye Fan left with peace of mind and went to the Imperial College to register for admission the next day.
The Imperial College is located in the northeastern district of the city, next to the Canglan Palace. It occupies a large and most important area in the northeastern city. It is extremely large in scale, occupying almost half of the northeastern city.
In the royal city of Canglan Kingdom, the Imperial College is a very special place. Because all the people who can enter the Imperial Academy are all people in the realm of Wuhou.
Wuhou, as a figure whose strength is second only to King Wu, is the backbone of any vassal state. Whether it is the imperial court or the major counties, there are ministers in the realm of Wuhou who are in control of the situation.
After arriving as King Wu, he rarely interfered in the domestic political affairs of the princes. Moreover, King Wu was very rare among the eight hundred princes. Most of them stayed in seclusion, guarding one side or going to serve in the Zixuan Dynasty. It was hard to see them on weekdays.
Therefore, the military princes of the Imperial Academy are candidates for the reserve civil servants and generals of a vassal country, and are highly valued by all parties... After all, no one knows how much success they can achieve in the palace examination in the future. If they can get a good ranking in the palace examination, it will be a sure thing to serve as important officials in the court.
In the human dynasty of the Shenwu Continent, the Martial Arts and City Lord Departments, the first of the nine departments, were promoted through the path of "Martial Academy".
The runes, alchemy, weapon refining, adventure, beast control, and business departments are controlled by the six major guilds, and the sacrificial department is controlled by the priest hall. The martial arts department and the city lord department need to take the path of the martial arts academy. Even if a Wuhou does not practice in the martial arts academy, he often needs to be a martial arts disciple in the martial arts academy.
Because the martial arts system will grant a martial artist an official status that can pass through the Zixuan Dynasty in the entire Shenwu Continent. Otherwise, a lonely and wild ghost-like martial arts cultivator, who knows where he came from, and who knows nothing about it. No force dares to use him.
The highest level martial arts academy in Canglan Kingdom is the Imperial Academy.
Ye Fan came to the steps in front of the majestic and huge gate of the Imperial College, looked at the locked red copper door, took a deep breath, and walked up the steps.
Entering the gate of the Imperial Academy, he will officially enter a new world.
At the red copper gate of the Imperial College, there were only ten solemn guards wearing blue shirts and armors. The number of people is very small, and there are even fewer guards than the wealthy families in the royal city, and the mansions of princes and ministers.
But Ye Fan could tell at a glance that these were ten masters at the peak of the late martial arts realm, guarding here. Their strength is at an extremely advanced level in the Martial Master Realm.
"Lord Wuhou!"
When a guard captain saw Ye Fan, his eyes flashed, and he immediately converged his eyes and saluted respectfully: "You seem to be very strange. I have no impression of you, but are you new to the Imperial College?"
"Um!"
Ye Fan nodded slightly.
"Please show me your identity token!"
The guard captain said respectfully.
Ye Fan casually took out his Donglai County College student token and handed it to the guard to verify his identity.
"Ye Fan, the Martial Master of Donglai County Academy!... You entered the County Academy two years ago, and you became a Marquis of Wu in just two years?"
The guard captain looked at the token and was shocked. He looked at Ye Fan in shock and disbelief.
On this county college student token, some important identity marks of Ye Fan are recorded in fine characters, such as the martial arts college he entered, his name, his year of enrollment, etc.
After Wu Zun enters the county court of the ten major prefectures of Canglan Kingdom, if he breaks through Wu Hou within ten years, such Wu Hou will be regarded as a genius Wu Hou, and can be automatically promoted to the Imperial Academy without any other conditions, and will be regarded as a key talent to be cultivated. Supervise students and waive tuition fees.
If Wu Zun breaks through to the realm of Wu Hou after ten years in the county court, he will need to participate in the formal and strict assessment of the unification of the ten major counties of Canglan Kingdom. Only those who can enter the Imperial College to study are ordinary imperial students and need to pay tuition after admission.
As for Marquis Wu who failed the examination but still wanted to enter the Imperial Academy, he needed a special donation fee to enroll. Generally, those who are older and have low growth potential, but want to have a chance, must pay five times the tuition before being allowed to enter the Imperial College.
It took only two short years to jump from the first level of the Martial Lord Realm to a Martial Lord. This is simply unimaginable. This is definitely rare in Canglan country.
In the entire Canglan Kingdom's Imperial College, there are only a handful of people who practice at such a speed. There are only a few royal descendants and aristocratic families.
The shock in the guard captain's eyes was naturally hard to describe.
"Master Ye, please come here. The Imperial College is very big. I will take you around the Imperial College to replace the Imperial College Student Token and some other items!"
The guard captain immediately opened the door.
The locked gate of the Imperial College slowly opened, and Ye Fan and the guard captain entered the courtyard of the Imperial College.
The entire Imperial Palace has many halls, pavilions and pavilions, and lush trees dotting it, but Ye Fan can hardly see anyone as he walks along.
"Aren't there usually many people in the Imperial Palace?"
Ye Fan asked strangely.
"The Imperial Academy's Palace occupies a small half of the northeastern city, almost as big as a palace. However, there are dozens of Wuhou in the courtyard on weekdays, and most of them practice in seclusion and seldom come out. There are also some supervisors who go out to travel to various counties, and even leave Canglan. Kingdom, go to other places for experience, and will not come back for many years. On weekdays, it is rare to see the Lord Wu in the courtyard, only some people doing business. However, at the beginning of each month, the Imperial College is very lively, even if you are traveling in the surrounding counties All the supervisors will return."
The guard captain smiled.
"It's so busy at the beginning of the month? Why is that?"
Ye Fan was confused.
"In our Imperial Academy, there is a Star Cultivation Tower. This is also the best Cultivation Tower in Canglan Kingdom. It will be opened at the beginning of every month. Most of the Wuhou will go in and practice some before coming out. So at this time It's the most lively place, and you can see all the Wuhou supervisors in the royal city."
The guard captain said.
When Ye Fan heard this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly. He came to the Imperial College in Wangcheng precisely because the Imperial College had the best training place in the Canglan Kingdom.
I just don't know how strong this star training tower is.
"However, the most lively event is probably the Canglan Kingdom's Palace Examination that takes place every ten years. No matter how far away the Prince Wu's supervisors are, they will return to participate in the Palace Examination Competition. At that time, the entire Imperial College is buzzing with people and extremely popular."
As the guard captain spoke, he took Ye Fan to the Internal Affairs Office of the Imperial College, received a Wuhou identity token of the Imperial College, and took him to a separate courtyard where the prison students lived in the Imperial College.
