After the written test ended, aside from the two hundred candidates listed, the other eight hundred were driven out of the examination hall.

Among these two hundred who remained, Su Yuan discovered something interesting.

Candidates who possessed true talent and skills, but did not use money, surprisingly had their scores untouched.

Just among those Su Yuan, or rather Su Youlin, knew, was a candidate named Qi Junxiang, who came from a side branch of a Cultivation Clan in the Cold Plum World. He achieved thirty-seventh place in the written test through his own talent.

He was also one of the only three ascenders from the Cold Plum World who could remain in the written test.

The other two were naturally Su Yuan, and the other was the wealthiest Second Generation Immortal among the ascenders from the Cold Plum World, who passed the written test purely with Spirit Coins, ranking around one hundredth.

Those who used money ranked behind, while those who didn't use money ranked ahead, indicating that the examiners still retained some sense, knowing not to elevate certain incompetents too high.

Otherwise, with no one to actually do the work below, their high positions would not be stable.

In the examination hall, a thousand examination desks were removed, and two hundred candidates stood respectfully in place, waiting for the golden divine eye in the sky to test their qualifications.

Under the golden divine eye, all cheating behaviors would be exposed.

Whether using a Magical Treasure to cover the true grade of one's Spiritual Root, or using an Elixir to temporarily forcibly enhance qualifications, would all be seen through by the divine eye.

Of course, the 'Immortal Skin Mask' crafted by the Thousand-Faced Celestial Monarch was not within this scope.

Moreover, in the Celestial Examination, officials also provided a legal cheat, which could solve the problem of qualifications not passing the test.

Pay money.

In the Celestial Law World, ordinary Spiritual Roots were divided by grade from highest to lowest into nine classes.

As long as the Spiritual Root quality reached the third class, it was considered passing; the first class was excellent, and a Celestial Spirit Root was already considered a rare genius.

According to the examination information, fourth and fifth class Spiritual Roots required about five to six thousand Spirit Coins.

Sixth and seventh class Spiritual Roots could also pass with ten thousand Spirit Coins, but the ranking would not be optimistic.

Eighth and ninth class Spiritual Roots... having no opportunity to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Stage, naturally would not be considered.

As for Immortal Spirit Roots?

Without Artificial Immortal Spirit Roots, not even the descendants of Nascent Soul True Monarchs could guarantee every one of them had qualifications comparable to an Immortal Spirit Root... unless they hunted down wild geniuses to seize their Spiritual Roots.

The Immortal Official Examination Su Yuan participated in this year was an annual ordinary examination, with no Immortal Spirit Root geniuses.

The Celestial Examination soon began, accompanied by the golden divine eye scanning everyone present, and a new ranking instantly appeared in the air.

Su Yuan's name prominently occupied the first position.

[Celestial Examination First: Su Youlin: Bloodthirsty Spirit Root (Celestial Spirit Root)]

[Celestial Examination Second: Wang Yijia: Mysterious Water Spiritual Root (Celestial Spirit Root)]

...

Su Yuan took a glance at the rankings on the golden list and smiled slightly.

Huai Lingwei and the other four examiners were quite clever.

In fact, the top five candidates on the list all had Celestial Spirit Roots, with three-fifths being Righteous Dao Spiritual Roots.

The informant named Ying Ding was one of them.

Although the Celestial Law World was corrupt to the bone, it openly declared itself a Righteous World, with the obligation to combat the Demon Dao.

Therefore, the mainstream view was that Righteous Dao Celestial Spirit Roots should be above Demon Dao Celestial Spirit Roots.

Bloodthirsty Spirit Root ranking first only indicated... this was a small caprice of power.

"I think this officialdom culture does have its merits."

Su Yuan thought silently.

He continued to look down and found that the 'fellow townsman' Qi Junxiang he noticed before was ranked over one hundred and sixty, with a fifth-class Spiritual Root.

Looking down at Qi Junxiang himself, Su Yuan saw him taking out a Money Bag, counting all his Spirit Coins repeatedly.

But no matter how he counted, he couldn't muster up enough five thousand Spirit Coins, sweating profusely with anxiety.

The official payment time was about to be over, and Su Yuan felt anxious for him.

Just then, Ying Ding, who had been observing Su Yuan's gaze, noticed the latter's focus.

When Su Yuan achieved first place in the written examination, Ying Ding already had the intention to befriend him, and when Su Yuan achieved first in the Celestial Examination, his desire to befriend turned into flattery.

Seeing Su Yuan so focused on a poor fellow, Ying Ding immediately stepped up to Qi Junxiang, casually added three thousand Spirit Coins, making up enough for five thousand.

This left Qi Junxiang bewildered.

Without waiting for thanks, Ying Ding patted his shoulder and said:

"Hurry to pay up, don't forget to thank Brother Su after the interview." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Qi Junxiang was initially stunned, then turned his gaze to Su Yuan, with a complex yet grateful look.

In response, Su Yuan didn't explain anything, calmly accepting this act of goodwill.

He didn't infiltrate the Celestial Law World to be a lone hero, but to climb the ranks while developing forces and expanding the Primordial Sect.

Recruiting some local Primordial Sect cadres was essential.

This Ying Ding and Qi Junxiang weren't bad candidates.

In the future, some way must be found to tie them to his chariot.

After paying, Qi Junxiang's ranking immediately changed, climbing from over one hundred sixty to over eighty.

[As expected from the chosen True Demon, easily developing a Demon Dao subordinate during the sacred Immortal Official Examination and hinting at this subordinate using money to corrupt another young genius, lawlessness is embodied by you!]

[Rule Infraction Count +2]

Heh, automatic self-justification, automatically increases task progress.

Su Yuan pretended not to see the dog system's evaluation and calmly waited for the final exam, which was the beginning of the interview.

Only 103 people passed the Celestial Examination, and as long as these 103 people didn't perform too outrageously in the interview, they would more or less get a position.

But whether it's Junior Ninth Grade, Standard Ninth Grade, Junior Eighth Grade, or Standard Eighth Grade, depends on the candidates' abilities, background, financial strength, and the results of the previous two exams.

The exam site was quickly arranged by junior officials, isolating the examiners from the candidates.

The interviewees started from the 103rd place and met the examiners one by one alone.

After giving the candidates half an hour of preparation time, the interview quickly began.

Examinees entered one by one, each having only three minutes, so the interviews proceeded very quickly.

Qi Junxiang entered nervously and exited nervously, as did most of the other candidates.

After all, by the time most candidates reached the interview stage, they could no longer squeeze out any benefits.

The allocation of positions entirely depended on the examiners' moods.

Only those high-scoring candidates and Second Generation Immortals who were willing to spend money looked more confident.

Soon, the first 102 candidates completed their interviews, and Su Yuan, who was the top scorer in both the written and celestial examinations, got up and strode into the room where the examiners were, disappearing from everyone's view.

In a room that could not be secretly observed, Su Yuan entered and saw the five kindly-looking examiners.

"Young friend Su Youlin, please sit down."

The purple-robed chief examiner sitting in the middle spoke up, his tone gentle.

Su Yuan was also unreserved, calmly sitting opposite the examiners.

After sitting down, he recalled his current identity.

On the surface, he was the Demon Star Su Youlin from the Cold Plum World, but secretly, as the Direct Disciple of the Decaying Celestial Monarch, he had recruited one of the five main examiners, Huai Lingwei, and through her hints, had more or less influenced the other four examiners.

Therefore, he couldn't show cowardice now and needed to display the demeanor worthy of a Second Generation Immortal.

After understanding his persona, Su Yuan spoke directly without waiting for the examiners:

"This interview only lasts three minutes, time is tight, let's get straight to the point."

"Uh, okay..."

The male examiner sitting at the far right instinctively responded, then suddenly realized something was off.

Wait a minute... The way this sounds, why do I feel like I'm the one being interviewed?

Reversed Celestial Spirit!

Huai Lingwei also hesitated to speak.

Buddy, didn't you say you were here to perform a secret mission for your master?

Is it really appropriate to be so arrogant?

But thinking about the little bump in her belly, Huai Lingwei ultimately remained silent.

The purple-robed chief examiner didn't speak, still maintaining a gentle smile on his face.

The other two red-robed examiners quickly exchanged glances.

There was no anger in their eyes, but there was a hint of probing.

From Huai Lingwei's hints, it seemed that Su Youlin had a very deep background.

But they wanted to see just how deep a background it was that could support such arrogance.

If his background wasn't as deep as they imagined, they'd assign a Standard Eighth Grade position to dismiss him.

But if his background was indeed so high that no one could afford to provoke him, then a Standard Eighth Grade position wouldn't suffice.

As for punishing Su Youlin for disrespecting his elders?

The examiners hadn't even considered such a thing... They had always been very lenient to Second Generation Immortals.

After secretly setting the tone for this interview, a middle-aged red-robed examiner chuckled and said:

"Candidate Su Youlin, please tell us about your management strengths."

Upon hearing this, the corners of Su Yuan's mouth slightly curved.

Management skills? Isn't this playing right into my hands?

He cleared his throat lightly and said casually:

"No special skills, but my master... cough cough, a senior once taught me a Dragon Slaying Skill for managers."

Master? This kid indeed has a mentor, and it's likely at least a Golden Core or higher.

Could it be a Nascent Soul True Monarch?

Such a high-level figure, every word and deed is worth learning from.

The red-robed examiners instinctively sat up straight:

"Please, go ahead."

Su Yuan leaned slightly forward and lowered his voice:

"I wonder if any of you examiners have heard of... 996?"

"996?"

Su Yuan didn't keep them in suspense and briefly explained the specifics of the 996 Method and then added:

"To make subordinates willingly work overtime under 996, you need mortgage loans, car loans, parenting loans, and other combinations to force them not to dare quit, even volunteering for overtime. This is the art of management."

"As for the advanced version, 007, that's a secret of my sect, and I won't elaborate here."

The red-robed officials, including Huai Lingwei, were all shocked, and even the Standard Fourth Grade purple-robed chief inspector looked at Su Yuan with deeper meaning.

This... this truly is the Dragon Slaying Skill of management!
