I can infinitely improve my spiritual attributes

The fourth year of Yongchang, February 19th.

In the morning, a dark ironclad warship stopped at the commercial port dock.

This is the latest naval warship developed by the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court. It is much stronger than the wooden building ship. Moreover, there are array runes carved and reinforced by immortal practitioners on the ironclad warship. It is a treasure.

Even if an ordinary second-level bone-forging warrior uses all his strength, he can only barely leave a trace on the ironclad warship. If you want to destroy the ironclad warship, at least a super-first-class warrior with a blood exchange in the fourth level must take action. Moreover, even if a super-first-class warrior with a blood exchange in the fourth level takes action, it will take some time to destroy the ironclad warship, unlike ordinary wooden building ships, which can be destroyed by ordinary warriors in the skin-grinding level.

At present, in Daqian, only the elite of the navy are equipped with such ironclad warships, and even among the navy, there are not many such ironclad warships. If you want to popularize them, it will take some time.

Moreover, even if it is popularized, it is at most an ordinary ironclad ship. It is impossible for every ironclad ship to be engraved with runes. Whether it is the imperial court or the Tiansheng Sect, the number of immortal cultivators is limited.

The martial arts students in Baisha County are all elites among the major forces. In order to prevent any accidents, the county government directly applied for an ironclad warship of the navy to escort them.

In the past, the Dacang County Navy would not approve the application of the Baisha County Government.

However, the demons of the Wusheng Sect appeared in Baisha County and were likely to attack the martial arts students going to the county city, so the Dacang County Navy agreed to the request of the county government and sent an ironclad warship.

Moreover, the Dacang County Navy has surrounded the Yunwu Lake and is ready to encircle and suppress the water bandits hiding in the Yunwu Lake.

Since these water bandits are mixed with the Wusheng Sect, whether they are voluntary or forced, it is impossible to let them go free like this, but the Yunwu Lake has a complex terrain and is shrouded in fog all year round, and the navy scouts also need time to survey.

After the Dacang County Navy's ironclad warship stopped at the port, Zhou Shan and other martial arts students who passed the child test came to the commercial port and boarded the ironclad warship one after another.

"Brother Zhou, you are really a busy man who is hard to invite. Today we are all going to the county city together, and I am lucky to have a chance to meet you."

On the ironclad warship, more than 40 martial arts students from Baisha County gathered together and ate the breakfast prepared by the Dacang County Navy.

Although it was said that the breakfast was prepared by the Dacang County Navy, the ingredients were all provided by Baisha County. The breakfast was very rich. In addition to various meats, there were also rare treasure fish and treasure beasts.

At this time, more than 40 martial arts students from Baisha County were also divided into three different circles.

One circle was dominated by the Bai family, surrounding Bai Qichao, the third son of the Bai family.

The Bai family was the strongest force in Baisha, and it was a noble family with a heritage of more than two hundred years. Many people in the family served as officials in the court. The highest official was the assistant garrison of the fifth-rank coastal defense camp of Donghai Prefecture, and was the adjutant of the first battalion in charge of coastal defense in Donghai Prefecture.

There is an island country in the East China Sea, called Dongying. It is short of resources. When it encounters natural disasters, many people cannot survive and become pirates, plundering merchant ships on the sea, and sometimes even invading the counties in the coastal areas of Daqian. More than two hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Bai family joined the army to eliminate pirates at that time and made great contributions, and were named sea officers.

After generations of management, the Bai family gradually took root in the coastal defense camp.

After each generation of outstanding disciples of the Bai family participated in the martial arts examination and gained fame, they would enter the coastal defense camp to train and cross the gold.

From the fifth-rank coastal defense camp to assist in the garrison, it is nothing in the entire Donghai Prefecture.

But in Baisha County, it is a high-ranking official.

The garrison in charge of military affairs in Dacang County is only the fifth rank.

The other two circles are mainly Julingmen and Leiming Martial Arts Hall.

In the circle headed by Julingmen, Zhou Shan, as the disciple of the master, has the highest status, so it is naturally headed by Zhou Shan, while Leiming Martial Arts Hall is headed by the young master Lin Rong.

These three different circles were surrounded by more than a dozen people, talking and laughing.

"This is Mr. He San of the fishing gang."

"Zhao Hu, his father is the chief tax officer of the fish market river."

"Sima Yan, the son of the leader of the herb-collecting team of Meishan Medicine Shop!"

"..."

Zhou Shan sat in the main seat, and Feng Hao, the young master of Xinglong Escort Agency, introduced them one by one.

Xinglong Escort Agency, this is also an industry of Julingmen, and the chief escort of the escort agency is Lin Yuanxiong's junior brother, a first-class warrior at the peak of the third realm of training organs, and he is a well-known figure in Baisha County.

According to seniority, Feng Hao, the young master of Xinglong Escort Agency, called Zhou Shan "senior brother".

Those who can sit here have some status in Baisha County. The status of Mr. He San of the fishing gang is relatively low. The fame of martial arts students that everyone has obtained is basically recommended by officials, and there is no need to participate in any assessment.

As long as there is an official of grade, it can be recommended.

One person can be recommended from the ninth rank, two from the ninth rank, five from the eighth rank, and ten from the eighth rank.

The higher the rank of the official, the more people can recommend martial arts students.

Moreover, even if they have not entered the court as officials, as long as they have obtained the title of martial arts candidate, they can also be recommended.

This is the privileged class of Daqian.

It is because of various privileges that the rich get richer and the strong get stronger, and these privileged classes are also closely connected with each other, either master-apprentice relationship, or in-laws, clansmen, classmates, etc.

It can be said that more than 99% of the resources in this world are controlled by the privileged class of Daqian.

Feng Hao introduced them one by one, and Zhou Shan smiled and nodded in response, which was considered to be acquaintance with everyone.

Since becoming the leader of the river patrol team, although he has not officially become a Zhengjiu-grade river patrol envoy, he receives various invitations to banquets every day.

Zhou Shan didn't want to waste time on socializing.

Therefore, except for the banquets organized by his second senior brother Liu Shaoge and his third senior brother Xia Jiang, he refused all the other banquets. If he had time to socialize, he might as well practice more.

"The martial arts examination is coming soon. I am focused on staying at home to practice and prepare for war. I don't dare to go around for fun."

Zhou Shan found an excuse.

"With Senior Brother Zhou's strength, passing the college examination is easy."

"Yes, Zhuang Yang, the leader of the Blood Leopard Water Bandits, is a second-rate warrior who has cultivated tiger bones. He is no match for Senior Brother Zhou. Passing the academy examination and becoming a martial arts scholar is a sure thing."

"If you ask me, even the provincial examination will not be able to defeat Senior Brother Zhou."

"According to the past situation, the chance of a second-rate warrior who has mastered the iron bones to pass the provincial examination and become a martial arts examiner is at least 80%, and the provincial examination is still more than half a year away."

"After such a long time, Senior Brother Zhou's strength will definitely improve further."

"..."

Everyone present complimented him one after another.

"Come, let's toast to Senior Brother Zhou!"

"A toast to Senior Brother Zhou!"

Feng Hao raised his wine glass, and the others spoke in agreement.

"Thank you for your kind words."

Zhou Shan smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand.
