After years of hard study, Ye Langfeng finally came first in the imperial examinations.
She thought she would be settling into a comfortable life with a secure government job, but an appointment letter sent her to an entirely new world: the Star Office, an immortal realm hidden from the world for a thousand years.
She was the first mortal ever to enter the Star Office. To become a permanent member, she had to make progress in cultivation within three years.
Ye Langfeng, the study addict: ...
Fine. I just have to start learning all over again, right?
But the Star Office was nothing like the mortal world.
The classroom was separated by mountains and seas, and getting to class meant flying on a sword.
Ye Langfeng had only just awakened her spiritual sense when she squeezed onto the end of her roommate's sword. The sword tore through the sky, and she promptly fainted from sword sickness.
Cultivation materials were expensive, and spells required real gold.
Ye Langfeng, penniless, rummaged through her bags. Coins clinked, and her roommate looked perplexed. "Langfeng, can you refine artifacts with copper coins?"
Then there was the dormitory's exquisite bed of cold jade.
Its bone-deep chill aided cultivation, but kept one certain person awake all night.
Ye Langfeng: ...
She silently got up and took her textbook out from under her pillow.
New ghost stories began circulating around the Star Office.
Before dawn, a female ghost wandered through the valley, muttering and scaring the students who got up at night into fainting.
At midnight, strange white paper always appeared in the talisman classroom. Touch it, and your hands would be covered in blood.
There were also the mysterious leftovers in the alchemy room, and the commission board whose new postings were snapped up in no time...
One student risked everything to uncover the truth, only to discover in horror:
Before dawn, someone walked through the valley on foot, reciting as she went. She knew all three thousand texts by heart!
Late at night, someone pored over the Way of Talismans. With cheap white paper and red ink, she could create top-grade talismans!
The one who stayed up all night refining pills was her. The one who cleared out the commission board was her. And the top student in the monthly exam...
Was her, too!
The student ran away in tears. "The Star Office's top exam scholar, Ye Langfeng, is terrifying!"
Ye Langfeng: ...
Sorry. She just got a bit of a late start, has a bit too little money, and works a bit too hard.
During her studies, Ye Langfeng once accepted a long-term commission.
The client, Xie Yuming, was the son of a military family in the mortal world. He was kind and had plenty of money... but his heart was too soft and his constitution too strange.
When a family member was in danger, he took their place. When a friend was haunted, he took the friend's place.
But this man was so righteous that no evil could touch him. Ghosts and monsters had long since fled at the mere rumor of his arrival, so he confidently clenched his fist and declared, "There really are no ghosts in this world!"
Even when Ye Langfeng faced a great demon, he would rush to fight it with his mortal body and ordinary weapons.
At last, the short-tempered woman could take no more. She yanked Xie Yuming behind her. "Move. I'll handle this!"
One sword cleaved through a mountain, and also...
shattered the worldview of a certain materialist young general.

Theme: Life is more than relentless striving
I can't understand what my wife writes more and more : D
In the hot summer, the heavy rain has just stopped, and countless wild fungi are growing wildly on the vast land of Yunnan. Suppose you are Li Hua. Your school holds a summer outing. After a hard climb, you find an extremely beautiful fungus under the dense pine branches. You gently pick it up and put it to your lips—— Stop! Warm reminder from the canned green head mushroom from Haoshi: Safety first, beware of wild mushroom poisoning. When you are tired or bored, why not click on the author's column and eat the identifiable pre-receipt! The next book is waiting to be opened: She walked alone and came to a world where she was the only one to sacrifice. He who was supposed to be possessed and died actually stepped into a new demonic barrier. He held her hand tightly, the corners of his eyes were red, and his voice was full of bitterness and pleading: "Junior sister, take me away." What kind of entanglement makes the two so inseparable? Please use "Transport to a world where only I die"... The next book is about to be opened: She is a cruel and smiling tiger who has been undercover in the Demon Sect for ten years and became the left envoy of the Demon Sect; he is a mysterious young master who rarely appears in the Demon Sect, and a childhood sweetheart with whom she rarely has a heart... Well, a rare friendship; he is the leader of the righteous path and an important figure who is predicted to overthrow the Demon Sect. She puts on a mask to avenge blood, and mediates between the devil's religion and the right way, morality and friendship, danger and tenderness, she and him, she and him, he and him... Wait, the young master of the Demon Cult and the leader of the righteous path are actually the same person? For details, please read "After I Undercover the Demon Cult, I Captured the Righteous Leader"!
Ye Zi: The textbook doesn't teach you how to wield a sword, right?
Xiaoye: I have never studied this question before! Over the top!
Indeed, I don't quite understand the content.
Cultivation forum?? Hahahahaha
King Juan, I can do it, I just like the protagonist Juan
Waiting_(:з∠)_
Ye Zi: How come I don't know that I have experienced this?
This college is quite down-to-earth.
