No hope for eternal life

Chapter 130 The Palace Examination Ends

Just as everyone guessed, once you fall off the mountain, you have to start climbing from the beginning, so Shen Qianliu was the last one.

Shen Qianliu looked extremely ugly. In his opinion, this was not only his personal shame, but also a shame for the entire Shen family. Therefore, he looked at Mu Changsheng with resentment.

However, Mu Changsheng was receiving treatment from the pharmacist at this time and did not notice Shen Qianliu's eyes.

Mu Xun, who was standing by, came over and saw the shocking wounds on Mu Changsheng's palms and shoulders. He was smart but dull, and the only thing he could say was: "Thank you."

"It's a small matter." Mu Changsheng didn't care at all. Instead, he said happily: "Compared to the county exam, I only used the blood and qi transformation secret technique once in this palace exam, which is much better. Moreover, we both made it into the top three, which is what we wanted."

Seeing that the Foundation Establishment Palace Examination was about to end, the mysterious woman who had been standing still and could only be seen by Feng Ze and Xiao Jingshan, left quietly without saying a word.

Feng Ze noticed the mysterious woman's departure, but a question rang in his mind: "Did she really just happen to pass by?"

After that, it was time to award the prizes. The awards for the rest of the people were presented by the golden-armored generals, while the top three were presented by Lord Feng Ze himself.

When Feng Ze awarded Mu Changsheng the prize, he also said: "You are very good at valuing friendship and loyalty."

Mu Changsheng was originally a little uneasy because of his attack on Feng Li, but now he received verbal praise from the king, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell. He quickly clasped his fists and saluted, saying: "I am just a commoner, not worth mentioning."

Afterwards, Feng Ze said to Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun: "I know that both of you are students of Yang Wuque. When you go back, please tell him a message for me. I hope he can cultivate more young talents like you."

"Yes." Mu Changsheng and the other two answered respectfully.

Finally, Feng Ze announced, "The Foundation Establishment Realm Palace Examination is over. There will be Golden Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm Palace Examinations in the next two months. After all three palace examinations are over, I will host a banquet for the top 25 cultivators of the three palace examinations. You must not be absent."

"Yes." Mu Changsheng and others all bowed their heads and obeyed.

At this point, the Foundation Establishment Realm Palace Examination came to an end, and all the participants were taken back to the reception courtyard by their county governors.

After the Nansha County group returned to the Eleventh Courtyard, Sha Tongmo said to Mu Changsheng, Mu Xun and Song Zhi: "The top ten will have the opportunity to enter the Imperial Palace Treasury to select treasures, but they will have to wait until the other two palace examinations are over before they can enter the treasury together with the top ten of the next two palace examinations. I will notify you then."

Mu Changsheng and the other two bowed and nodded.

After Sha Tongmo left, the ten people in the Foundation Establishment Stage of Nansha County were no longer restrained. Many people congratulated Mu Changsheng, Mu Xun and Song Zhi. Among the top ten in the palace examination, there were three people from Nansha County. They were truly proud and their reputation was greatly enhanced.

After Mu Changsheng returned the greetings one by one, everyone dispersed. Mu Changsheng did not forget to thank Song Zhi with a fist and said: "Miss Song, I will never forget the kindness of Mishan for helping me."

Song Zhi smiled and replied: "Mr. Mu, you are too kind. I just did what I could. In the end, Mr. Mu relied on his own strength to drive Shen Qianliu down the mountain. In comparison, Mr. Mu's help to Mr. Mu Xun is more precious."

Mu Xun didn't say anything, but in his heart, the friendship between him and Mu Changsheng needed no further words.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng took the initiative to ask Song Zhi: "Now that Miss Song has lost the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, it seems that the only way to find it again is through the auction. If Miss Song is short of spirit stones, I can give her 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones."

Mu Xun also said at this time: "I can also give you 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones."

Mu Xun was also grateful to Song Zhi for helping Mu Changsheng, because without Song Zhi's help, it is very likely that Mu Changsheng would not have helped him later.

Seeing this, Song Zhi smiled slightly and said, "I appreciate the kindness of the two gentlemen, but there are more ways to condense the ninth-grade golden elixir than the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir. If I really lack spirit stones in the future, it will not be too late to ask the two gentlemen for help."

Mu Changsheng had long guessed that Song Zhi came from a wealthy family, so he stopped forcing her and agreed, "We two live in Qingliu Town, and Miss Song knows that. If you need help someday, just come find us."

"Yes." Mu Xun agreed.

"Okay." Song Zhi smiled and said, "Let's talk about something happy. Don't forget that we have all placed bets in the casino, and now is the time to reap the rewards."

"Miss Song is right. Let's go together." Mu Changsheng also said with a smile.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng and the other two went to the gambling den where they had placed their bets before.

At this time, the Foundation Establishment Palace Examination had just ended, and countless cultivators who had placed their bets came to exchange for spirit stones. However, the boss had a look of joy on his face, and he handled the situation with ease, and it was obvious that he had made a lot of money.

This was also due to the unexpected performance of Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun, because before that most of the cultivators had bet on Feng Li, Shen Qianliu and Xue Shaoyang to be in the top three.

The odds for Mu Changsheng to be in the top three were 1 to 6. He and Song Zhi both bet 2,000 medium-grade spirit stones and got 12,000 medium-grade spirit stones, making a net profit of 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

The odds for the top three in Mu Xun are 1 to 5. With the same bet of 2,000 medium-grade spirit stones, you get 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones, and a net profit of 8,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

He got a large amount of mid-grade spirit stones so easily. Even Mu Xun couldn't help but sigh and said, "If I had known, I would have put myself in first place."

Because, before Muxun, the odds for first place were 6 to 1.

Mu Changsheng shook his head slightly and warned Mu Xun: "We are just betting on ourselves for fun. We must not think of making a fortune from this. This is definitely not the right way."

"Mr. Mu is right. In the end, the winner is always the dealer who opens the market." Song Zhi agreed.

"Hey, I understand. You two don't have to follow the husband's lead." Mu Xun said jokingly.

Song Zhi blushed when she heard this, and changed the subject, saying, "Both young masters have already obtained the Nine-Transformation Golden Core, so naturally the sooner you can retreat and break through, the better. I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, Song Zhi left in a hurry.

Mu Changsheng was helpless and said to Mu Xun: "You, you should be more careful with your words in the future. Look, you scared people away."

Mu Xun shrugged and said, "She's obviously interested in you. I think you should think about how to confess your feelings. You can't just wait for her to take the initiative."

"We must be careful about the matter of Taoist companions." Mu Changsheng shook his head slightly. He thought that he didn't know much about Song Zhi, and the most important thing was that he was wholeheartedly seeking the Tao and didn't want to consider this matter too early.

"Well, it's your own business after all. However, she is right. We should indeed make a breakthrough." Mu Xun said.

"Well, let's go back and break through." Mu Changsheng nodded. He has been longing for the Golden Core Realm for a long time.

Afterwards, the two returned to the 11th Courtyard and went back to their rooms to prepare for the breakthrough.

Mu Xun had nothing to prepare. He simply took a Nine-Transformation Golden Pill and began to break through. This was the magic of the Nine-Transformation Golden Pill. It did not require any extra preparation. One Nine-Transformation Golden Pill was enough to complete the breakthrough.

Mu Changsheng needs to prepare well. First of all, he has not fully recovered from his injuries. According to his temperament, he must restore his condition to the peak state before making a breakthrough.

In addition, Mu Changsheng wanted to break through his physical body to the level of muscle transformation before making a breakthrough in his cultivation. Then, making a breakthrough in his cultivation would not only consolidate his body refining realm, but also allow his physical body to reach a higher level.

So, Mu Changsheng took the medicinal bath again. His body was already injured, and this medicinal bath could help him heal his injuries.
