The Rebirth of the Prince: Starting from Not Being a Doglicker

The Palace of Literature is truly the first academic palace in the Jin Dynasty.

Located at the foot of Wendao Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing.

Wendao Mountain is blessed with natural beauty, tall and majestic, reaching into the sky.

It is said that this was the place where a great man in ancient times who was at the eighth level of Yangshen Realm attained enlightenment when he was promoted to the ninth level of Shusheng Realm.

Guanwen Palace takes the elite route. Although the number of students enrolled is not as large as that of Nanfu Academy, its area is as large as more than 30,000 acres, which is far larger than that of Nanfu Academy.

There are several scripture-repositories there, each of which is huge, three or four stories high, for students to borrow books on Taoism.

Most of the dormitories in the Palace of Literature are single dormitories, mainly in independent courtyards and single-family buildings. They are spacious and well-equipped, enough to accommodate the children of nobles and their guards and maids.

There are also some dormitories for two or four people, which are in poorer condition and are for students from poor families.

After all, the most abundant thing in the Palace of Literature is the children of princes and nobles, while students from poor families are very rare.

In terms of teaching staff, the Nanfu Academy only has two fifth-level practitioners, namely Xun Kuang, a famous teacher in the former Guanwen Palace, and the chief priest of the Nanfu Academy.

The Palace of Literature has more than a dozen teachers with cultivation levels of the fifth or even sixth realm.

The positions such as the Grand Priest of the Guanwen Palace were naturally held by the three Grand Secretaries of the Guanwen Hall.

Zhou Qingyu's father, the Grand Secretary of Qilin Pavilion, was one of them, and also the youngest of the three grand secretaries.

This is also the reason why Zhou Wenruo was able to easily cancel Su An’s entrance examination score.

same.

Marquis Shenwei is the General of Tiance, the leader of the four generals in Zhaowu Palace. If Su An wants to cancel the grades of a certain student of the Zhou family in Zhaowu Academy, it would only take a word.

Except these.

The cultivation level of students in Nanfu can reach up to the third realm at most, while students in the fourth realm are beyond the teaching capacity of Nanfu Academy.

However, the Palace of Literature can not only teach students from all over the world.

Even for some fifth-realm monks, if they meet the requirements for studying, the Guanwenxue Palace will not only arrange for sixth-realm instructors to guide them, but will also occasionally invite monks from the upper three realms to teach them and answer their questions.

In short, the conditions of Guanwenxue Palace are far superior to those of Nanfu Academy in all aspects.

However, the admission requirements are also extremely stringent.

The entrance examination for the Palace of Literature will comprehensively test a student's knowledge of auxiliary arts such as Yuanshu, magic, alchemy formations and talismans, as well as the student's meditation ability and concentration.

If a student comes from a poor family, he or she must be extremely talented and excellent in all aspects in order to be admitted.

For ordinary noble disciples, the admission standards of the Palace of Literature will be lowered.

However, descendants of wealthy families like the Zhou family and the Shenweihou family can enter the Xiuguan Literature Palace unconditionally.

In addition, the Guanwenxue Palace has extremely strict requirements for the descendants of some merchants. If they fail to meet the admission standards, they will not be allowed to enter the Guanwenxue Palace through the back door even if they are wealthy.

…………

Su An's residence in the Guanwenxue Palace was located in a fragrant peach forest in the academy.

This peach forest was the private territory of the Grand Secretary of Qilin Pavilion, and it was given to Zhou Qingyu on the day she passed the entrance examination.

There are quaint mansions, exquisite pavilions and quiet courtyards for people to live in.

"Qingyu and I are the only ones living in this peach forest. Last year, Guo Pu wanted to move in, but Qingyu didn't agree."

"But I've asked Qingyu, and she agrees that you can move in. Brother Su An, you can live here from now on."

Wang Shishi wore a light pink chest-length skirt and had her hair tied into cute double buns.

She brought Su An to a courtyard.

The courtyard is quiet and elegant, with a grape trellis, under which there is a swing, a stone round table and stools, and a well.

A small stream flows among the peach trees outside the courtyard.

In addition, there are pavilions, waterside pavilions, rockery and flowing water, as well as various buildings and landscapes.

"How is it, Brother Su An, are you satisfied with this place?"

"Of course I am satisfied."

Su An nodded. The environment here was much better than that in the Nanfu Academy.

This yard was carefully selected by Wang Shishi, and her yard is not far away.

If she ever misses Brother Su An, she can come to see him at any time.

The two can read books and chat together.

There were no outsiders in the peach forest. Qingyu had gone to the Evil Suppression Division, so there were only her, her brother Su An, and their personal maids here.

Then one night, she was awakened by a nightmare, or it was raining and thundering outside, and she ran to sleep with her brother Su An because of fear. It made sense, right?

Even more boldly, a man and a woman alone in the middle of the night, something happened between them accidentally, causing the marriage between the Shenwei Marquis Mansion and the Zhou Mansion to not proceed normally.

This was the solution Wang Shishi came up with after failing to persuade the two elders. She pondered over the past few days and found inspiration from the story of sisters turning against each other that Wang Wu told her that night.

Wang Shishi felt that this was a promising approach. Firstly, her mother had used this method before, so she could be considered to be inheriting her fine tradition. Secondly, Qingyu didn't like Brother Su An, so this wouldn't be considered as backstabbing her best friend.

After putting away the luggage, he cleaned the yard.

Wang Shishi said, "Brother Su An, I will take you to register at the academy."

The schools in the Palace of Literature are numbered according to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

The heavenly stems Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding are used to rank the schools according to their quality. The higher the number, the higher the level of the school's teachers, school equipment, and daily learning materials supply.

The earthly branches Zi, Chou, Yin and Mao are classified according to the accomplishments of the students in the school.

Zi Hall is the school for first-level monks, Chou Hall is the school for second-level monks, and Yin Hall is the school for third-level monks.

It is worth mentioning that, except for some students with distinguished family backgrounds, most other students will be expelled from the academy if they fail to reach a certain level of cultivation before a certain age.

The standard of the Palace of Literature is that if you do not reach the second level by the age of 19, you will be expelled.

Wang Shishi and Su Wan are of the same age, both 16 years old, but her cultivation is still at the first level, so she is in Zitang.

Also, because he came from a wealthy family like the General of Cavalry's Mansion, he was placed in the Jia Hall among the Zi Halls.

So Wang Shishi’s school is Jiazi Hall, and by analogy Zhou Qingyu’s school is Jiachou Hall.

"Brother Su An, you are now in the first realm and will be assigned to Jiazi Hall. From now on, we will be classmates in the same academy."

On the way to the school with Su An, Wang Shishi introduced him to him.

Not only did they live close to each other, they also went to the same school.

Wang Shishi felt excited when she thought about being able to spend every day with Brother Su An in the future.

"Shishi, I'm actually already in the second realm, but I haven't announced it to the public yet."

Su An quickly broke her expectations.

Su An stretched out his hand, and a trace of magic power was released from his palm. He used his spiritual consciousness to attract the fire element in the air, and then integrated the magic power, and finally a cluster of flames appeared in the palm of his palm.

The sign that a cultivator is about to enter the second realm is that his spiritual awareness is strong enough to sense the elements between heaven and earth, as well as perceive the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and absorb it into the body to form magic power.

If you can eventually successfully use your spiritual consciousness to guide magic power and elements to merge into a spell, then you will be a qualified second-level magician.

"What? Brother Su An, you have already reached the second realm."

Wang Shishi’s mouth was half open, and her bright almond eyes widened slightly in disbelief.

"Brother Su An, I remember that you only decided to start practicing Taoism three months ago. How come you have reached the second level so quickly?"

It was no wonder that she was so surprised. Even Zhou Qingyu, the most talented person in Guanwen Academy, was promoted to the second realm half a year after he entered the academy.

"Brother Su An, you are indeed a genius!"

After being surprised, Wang Shishi's eyes curved and she jumped for joy, as if she was the one who entered the second realm in three months.

"Shishi, I remember you entered the Xiuguan Literature Palace when you were just sixteen years old, right?" Su An said.

"Yeah, what's wrong, Brother Su An?"

"If I remember correctly, next month is your 17th birthday, and you have been practicing in Guanwen Palace for almost a year." Su An asked.

"After a year of practice, have you gained any clues about sensing the elements and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?" Su An asked.

"Well... I'm not very good at this yet." Wang Shishi scratched her head and said embarrassedly.

"Brother Su An, you know that I am not very talented. I even passed the entrance examination through the back door."

Su An shook his head.

"As long as one is suitable for practicing the art, no matter how mediocre his talent is, if he can study hard for a year and concentrate on reading books and learning the knowledge of the art, even if he is not good enough to enter the second realm, he can roughly touch the threshold."

"In my opinion, you haven't worked hard enough in this past year at the Palace of Literature, right?" Su An said.

"Ah, it's enough to have someone as awesome as you, Brother Su An. I don't have any lofty ambitions anyway, and I don't pursue how awesome I will be in the future."

Wang Shishi has an attitude that she doesn’t care about being a poor student.

This is also the current situation of most aristocratic children.

It is impossible to study hard, and it is impossible to study well in this life.

The more rebellious ones would skip classes all day to play in the market town outside the academy, while the more obedient ones would read novels and sleep in class.

As for martial arts?

That's even more impossible.

They can't bear the hardship of training in the coldest and hottest days of winter and summer.

For ordinary people, if you can't bear the hardship of studying, you will have to bear the hardship of life.

Even if you suffer the hardship of studying, there will be endless suffering in the future...

But for the children of the nobility, with the foundation laid by their fathers, they can just lie back and relax for the rest of their lives.

Wang Shishi is one of these people.

While Zhou Qingyu was concentrating in class, she was sleeping.

When Zhou Qingyu went to the Sutra Library to read, she accompanied him to the Sutra Library to sleep.

While Zhou Qingyu was resting in bed, she stayed up late reading a storybook novel...

Wang Shishi is not stupid. Zhou Qingyu told Su An that she actually has a good understanding.

She was just too lazy.

Su An felt that he should do something to stop Wang Shishi from lying down and doing nothing.
