Under the stairway was an enormously thick door with images of magical beasts carved into the wood. The images filled the entire door, hundreds and thousands of magical beasts were engraved, from the common ones to the legendary sacred ones.

Feng Wu didn’t know much about the magical beasts on Tianfeng continent so the import of the images didn’t register; in fact she had no idea that the beasts on the door were legendary sacred magical beasts at all. To her they just looked powerful and amazing.

Above the door was a sign that read “The Neutral City Library.” It was written in the common language so even Feng Wu, who never studied the language and didn’t have the memories of the original host, could read it.

“This is the library, I’m gonna go back home now. As thanks for the chicken leg I’ll give you some good info. If you take the job of tidying up the books you won’t be charged for using the library to study. The librarian is willing to waive the fees in place of a salary, you just have to clean the place up and you can study for free. Most people don’t want the job because they’d rather have a salary. If it suits you and you’re interested, why not go in for an interview? If the librarian likes you, you can start right away and use the library for free.” He didn’t mind sharing some good info with her since she gave him such a big chicken leg without haggling.

“Tell the librarian that the stuffed steamed bun vendor Li sent you. The old man is my dad. Yeah and my name’s Jie. I’m supposed to help watch the shop today so I have to get back before the old man gets mad and scolds me.” After saying so he hurriedly ran off. Throughout the entire walk he’d been thinking about the chicken leg, its juicy fragrance teasing him to no end. After delivering Feng Wu to the library he immediately chowed down on it.

Feng Wu stared at the door for a full three minutes after he left before finally pushing it open. Despite its appearance it was actually easy to push and she had no trouble opening it at all. The library wasn’t damp or gloomy despite being situated in a bas.e.m.e.nt. In fact it was very nicely lit inside with plenty of sunlight streaming through the small windows at the top.

The door closed behind her automatically. It wasn’t a heavy thud, but the sudden silence felt heavy after the bustle of the world outside. Anyone in this kind of situation would feel the urge to run and escape. Feng Wu wasn’t like most people though. She only glanced back at the firmly closed door before walking towards the only other person in the room. This person had his head resting on top of a big desk.

Judging from the pool of drool on the book under his face he had been asleep for some time. Feng Wu stood to the side of the desk and quietly waited for him to wake up. She stood like that for three hours...

Three people were gathered around a mirror. In it were images of student candidates taking the exam; as one scene faded away another would take its place. The scenes shifted between the children and showed them in different places doing different things as they went about trying to find their magic items. One scene showed a boy on a mountain killing a magic beast while in a different part of the mountain a girl was picking medicinal plants. Another scene showed a candidate freeing a tangled kite from a tree. The one after that was of a girl joyfully heading out to find her treasure after finding a treasure map. The last scene showed a young swordmaster. There was nothing exceptional about him. It showed him finishing a task for an old man and receiving copper payment. Expecting a treasure map he got angry and threatened the old man with his sword. Before he could do anything else the city guards appeared. They immediately hauled him away and a notice appeared in the sky:

An examinee threatened a city resident. He will be held for disciplinary action. Other examinees should take note and not cause any more trouble for the residents.

“Youngsters nowadays are so impatient.” This came from James, the stern looking swordmaster. He stood in front of the viewing mirror with the other two teachers overseeing the second part of the exam.

The second male teacher spoke up saying, “They’re quite young though. When we took the exams weren’t we all like that?” He thought about the past and couldn’t help but break out in laughter, his face that of someone remembering fond memories of the past.

The only female teacher in the group also added her thoughts. “Hopefully there are some good prospects in this batch. Those of the Demon race have been using the cracks to slip into our world and devouring people. There are so few of us who can stand against the Demon and Asura races. It’s been a thousand years since someone like Longze-Jiamoer appeared.”

Longze-Jiamoer was known as the magician who created miracles. Although he was just an ordinary boy from a peasant family, he had an innate magic skill of the seventh level. Over time and with great effort he broke through and reached the G.o.d level for both magic and medicine. As the only person to achieve G.o.d levels in two fields, his name was known across the entire continent. On top of that he also united humanity and defeated both the Demon and Asura races. Then together with the monarchs of the three kingdoms he created an international agreement that stabilized the world and brought peace for a thousand years.

He was a G.o.dlike existence that ascended to G.o.dhood.

“Although I hope there is another like Longze-Jiamoer, it’s unlikely that another talent like him would appear again. In all the ten thousand years of our history, he has been a singular occurrence.”

Longze-Jiamoer’s greatest talent was not in magic, but in the medical field and the creation of medicine. Of the prescription drug recipes in the world today, most were created by him.

Since the formation of Tianfeng continent there had only been ten others who achieved the rank of G.o.d in medicine. The most influential of them was of course Longze-Jiamoer. All of the G.o.ds were gone now.

As they were speaking the image in the mirror changed and focused on Zi Cheng and Yifu. The scene showed Zi Cheng handing out food to the beggars in the alley while Yifu stood off to the side with a blank look on her face.

“This child is not only gifted, she is also kind hearted.” The female teacher looked at Zi Cheng with admiration.

“Indeed she is good. But that one next to her… she is lacking.” James wrinkled his brow as he stated the obvious.
