Chapter 16 Postponed Admission
Five days later, Beikouhe Town.
We are not going to the market today, so there are not many people coming and going in the town. Pedestrians in twos and threes go their own way. Ling Yi is walking among them with Ling Xiaoshan, just two of the most ordinary passers-by among all living beings.
In Zhenxi Blacksmith Shop, Ling Xiaoshan took out a handful of copper soul coins and two silver soul coins, handed them to a strong man with a gray beard, took a bulging coarse cloth bag from the other party, and opened it Peeked inside.
In front of the casting platform next to it, a strong young man with sweat dripping down his back was beating the red iron ingot with a hammer. The rhythm of the hammer was sometimes pleasant, and sometimes there were a few noises.
Ling Yi stood obediently at the door, his eyes curious, watching the scene in the shop quietly.
“Let’s go~”
Ling Xiaoshan’s clear voice sounded in his ears, and a warm hand covered the top of his head, making Ling Yi look away.
Raising his head and facing Ling Xiaoshan's smiling eyes, Ling Yi nodded: "Yes!"
"Master Jiang, Bai Wa, are gone——"
"Okay~"
"Uncle, Ayi, walk slowly——"
Amidst the greetings of the blacksmith shop owner and the sturdy young man, two figures, one large and one small, appeared. Waving his hands, he faced the scorching sun above his head and walked out of the town.
"Dang Cang! Dang Cang——!"
As he walked, Ling Xiaoshan was carried in the coarse cloth pocket in the bamboo basket behind his back, and from time to time he made a crisp sound of gold and iron. Voice.
Six brand-new iron hoe blades were put on six straight and strong long wooden sticks to form six good hoe blades.
Nowadays, the Ling and Zhang families, and the three male martial arts spirits of the Zhang family are all "hoes". It is convenient to use the "Farmer's Three Styles" - the hoe swinging style, but Ling Changqing, Ling Xiaoshan and Ling Yi himself, But it requires a hoe to perform.
In addition, grandma, grandma, mother, and aunt will go to the fields to help work together from time to time. It is not enough without a hoe.
“Xiao Yi~”
“Huh?”
"With this "Basic Meditation Method", you must practice hard when you come back, and don't leave the fields..." Ling Xiaoshan looked down at Ling Yi and said with a somewhat serious expression.
Hearing the sound, Ling Yi reached out and patted his chest, feeling the thin booklet inside. He turned to look at his father and responded with the same serious face: "Dad, don't worry, I I will practice well."
"It's just~"
Ling Xiaoshan was just about to nod when Ling Yi's voice sounded again: "Dad, when I took the "Basic Meditation Method" before. , Uncle Yan Bin told me that each practice should not be too long. According to the level of each person's talent, the length of practice in a day may be long or short. Beyond this time, not only will the efficiency become extremely low, but even if you are not careful, you may also It will be harmful to the body..."
"Okay~" Listening to Ling Yi's words, Ling Xiaoshan opened his mouth, a little speechless. After all, he is a pure young man in terms of martial arts cultivation. A white man with no right to speak at all.
Pursing his lips, Ling Xiaoshan seemed to think of something, and then asked: "By the way, Xiao Yi, can you read this meditation method?"
"Although we have taught you some words over the years, we still can't. I don’t know if it’s enough, but let me tell you, we might as well sell all the pheasants and hares we raise at home, so that you can have the tuition to go to school in Muzhi City..."
Ling Xiaoshan did not mention it As for the quota for work-study students, both he and Ling Yi knew that there was no room for them this year.
What is a work-study student?
How do the quota of work-study students come about?
It's very simple. A city is supported by surrounding villages and towns, which transport most of the food, fruits, vegetables, meat and other materials it needs daily.
A considerable part of this was donated free of charge by village residents. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was tax revenue provided to the rulers. Under such circumstances, the masters are naturally willing to give those qualified civilian soul masters who are promising to transcend social classes a chance to enter school for free.
Not only is admission free, but it also provides some work-study job opportunities to earn some food expenses in your spare time.
In this way, when these civilian soul masters grow up, whether they are absorbed into the inherent circle of the masters, or they return to their hometown and become a new little master, there will be no harm at all.
If one of them wins the jackpot and a genius emerges, it will be a huge profit!
I'm going too far, let's get back to the topic.
The number of work-study students is allocated downwards from the city where the Junior Soul Master College is located, based on the contributions of the towns and rural areas below, as well as the prosperity of the city itself.
Unfortunately, [Shuimu Principality] is one of the smallest countries in Douluo Continent, and its national land area is not as large as the smallest province of [Tian Dou Empire].
In other words, this is the smallest province of the [Tian Dou Empire].
There are only three cities in the country, and the capital "Muzhi City" can only be regarded as an ordinary big city when viewed from the Douluo Continent.
At the same time, due to the national conditions, most people with soul master qualifications are concentrated in the three cities.
In the countryside, it often takes more than ten years for a soul master who is expected to cultivate to the soul master level to appear.
As a result, most of the places for junior soul master academies in "Mu Zhi City" were devolved to the township level, not to the village level.
In short, there are places for work-study students, but there are only two or three in Beikouhe Town.
Coincidentally, this year, three descendants of soul masters in the town turned six years old and awakened their innate soul power.
As the children of a soul master, the probability of awakening the innate soul power is higher...
On the sunny country dirt road, two figures, one large and one small, gradually walked towards each other. In the distance, the surrounding fields were empty, and the gentle breeze, carrying a bit of heat, fell on the listless "Blue Silver Grass" beside the road, breaking into pieces of brilliant gold.
While walking, Ling Yi was thinking about the ‘wealth’ that his family now has.
As for the quota of work-study students, Ling Yi just went through it in his mind and put it behind him.
Although if you enroll earlier, you can learn more knowledge about martial arts and soul beasts earlier, but in the Junior Soul Master Academy, the students still practice the "Basic Meditation Method".
Ling Yi has already confirmed this with Yan Bin.
In this case, for Ling Yi, whose innate soul power is only half a level, it makes no difference whether he enrolls in school one year earlier or one year later.
Anyway, when you get to the academy, you will basically focus on soul power cultivation, supplemented by learning the information on martial souls and soul beasts.
In this case, it is better to cultivate the soul power level at home first, and when the time is right, then go to the Junior Soul Master Academy to learn that knowledge in the name of a work-study student.
With Ling Yi's current level of mental power, and the learning ability and memory he has developed, just like the original Yu Xiaogang, who memorized all the books in the "Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Family" and "Martial Soul Hall", he can master a junior soul master. If you quickly master the college's teaching content, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
Facing the lush green vegetation on both sides of the rural road, there was a faint light flashing in Ling Yi's eyes.
Starting from tomorrow, be a soul warrior who works hard to cultivate, and your body, mind, and soul power will go hand in hand.
Starting from tomorrow, take the relatives and friends of the Ling and Zhang families to farm, breed, and hunt, and become well-off together!
