《Astral Land》Chapter 11 Rare Precious Jade Stone
Advertisement
Reno with Adis and the four girls began to tour around the kingdom.
The kingdom of Paragon itself is quite magnificent because to surround the entire domain until each corner can take more than one day, therefore Adis only take Reno to specific places in the kingdom.
One of the places visited by this group is the screening exam entrance of the prospective royal guard.
Long queues that currently occur seem to snake up to one kilometer in front of Reno.
This queue is long enough to make him ask Adis, "Sri Adista, is there activity in the kingdom?"
"You are right young master Reno, the queue in front of you is for registration matters related with candidates for our royal guards."
"If I don't hear wrong, this year, the number of applicants for the prospective royal guard is estimated to reach one thousand."
"One thousand?" Hearing Adista's answer Reno was surprised.
"Yes, from a thousand, usually those who can enter into a royal guard are only two hundred fifty people more or less."
"Oh," Reno was increasingly surprised because it turned out being a royal guard was not easy.
"Royal guards have to go through several screening tests, including passing the age exam, and cultivation."
"The examination process itself is rigorous because the royal guards guarding the palace must have the lowest cultivation level, which falls at level1 tuccha cultivation."
"The screening test becoming a royal guard is a vital test for the people because after becoming a royal guard, the person will not only get a fixed salary of one diamond stone every month but also get special treatment," Adista then explained.
Hearing Adis's explanation, Reno paused and thought and then returned to the time where Sarah had explained about precious stones and cultivation that existed in the astral land.
"Young master Reno, let's look at this registration process," Adista invited.
Reno then sat on the second-floor balcony along with Adista's group.
Reno and Adis can see the scenery below them.

Reno is currently seeing prospective royal guards walking up the stage after registering.
Two royal guards were seen standing on the stage with iron armor, spears, and shields in their hands.
Three people appeared wearing silver armor standing on the stage, staring thoughtfully at the screening test process in front of them.
These three people were royal commanders with the title "Admiral."
This admiral of the kingdom is equivalent to the high generals in the real-world army.
One of the registrants began to walk up the stage, then touched the green stone in front of him.
Not long after, the green stone that had been touched by one of the registrants began to light up brightly, issuing a light that written with the unique number.
"17.1.1.4."
When these numbers came out brightly, immediately one of the admirals on the podium shouted "17.1.1.4, Pass!!!"
Seeing the numbers, some prospective registrants showed a look of amazement and then commented on each other with their opinions.
"He is amazing!!!"
"Seventeen years old young boy has mastered one martial ability with a level four tuccha cultivation level."
"I'm jealous of that young man; he is very extraordinary."
"Remarkable"
The next participant rises to the stage and performs the same actions as the previous participants.
"17.0.0.0, fail"
The young man who did not pass the test immediately left the stage with a sad expression while looking down.
This screening test is in great demand and has a high level of popularity within the city population.
Therefore, many young people try their luck, hoping that the screening tests they follow can change their destiny.
One of the admirals continued the screening test process on the podium, "19.1.1.5, Passed."
When the greenstone results issued the numbers "19.1.1.5," a commotion breaks out below the stage, responding to the results that had just come out.
"Wow, level 5 tuccha cultivation, soon the youngsters will enter the mleccha cultivation level !!!!"

"It's amazing; this young boy is quite talented."
The mleccha caste is a cultivation rank in the second level; this case can be considered high in the eyes of young people.
The mleccha cultivation at a young age considered very rarely happens.
If one young person can pass the tuccha cultivation levels and enter the mleccha cultivation level when they are under the age of twenty, the young man can be said to be "genius" and talented.
The screening test continued until fifteen minutes later, Reno, who was still confused, began to ask, what was the meaning of the numbers shouted by the admirals on the podium?
Then what is the use of the precious green stones on the stage?
"Sri Adista, can you please explain what is meant by the numbers shouted at by that person? And what stone is that? "Reno asked Adista, who was still confused with the screening test before him.
At first, Adista again becomes confused with Reno's questions because the guy always raises questions that make Reno seems not familiar with cultivation in the astral land.
Although suspicious, Adista still answers Reno's question with a normal tone.
"The first two digits are age, one number behind the first two digits is how much martial arts mastered, the remaining digits are the cultivation level."
Reno was silent, trying to digest Adis's words, but then Adis continued his explanation in a more detail way.
"Number 17.1.1.4 that comes out from the stones has its meanings."
"Number 17 in the initial sequence would symbolize the age of 17 years."
"Behind the number 17, there is a number 1 that would mean he has mastered one martial ability."
"While the remaining numbers behind it are the cultivation levels which are currently in the tuccha 4th level. "
Reno began to understand the row of numbers that came out after the prospective participants touched the green stone above the stage, but then again, he asked: "If I'm not mistaken, I see number 0, what is number 0 means?"
"It means that it is nil or has no mastery of martial arts or cultivation," Adista then answered quickly.
"Oh, that is very amazing," Reno replied.
"So that stone can measure a person's strength to such an extent?" Reno looked amazed by the ability of the greenstone, which is currently on the stage.
"Yes, you are right Reno, the stone above the stage is a precious jade stone, this stone is commonly used to measure the strength of a person."
"Jade also commonly worn on one's arms in the form of a bracelet or finger in the form of a ring by warriors in the astral land."
Now Reno increasingly understood and concluded that the jade, which is currently on the stage, is a precious stone that is commonly used by astral beings to measure the strength of their cultivation.
The day came to an end when it was dusk; the entrance screening exam was finally over.
The conclusion of the entrance examination test today produced two hundred and forty new royal guards.
The screening process succeeded in gathering royal guards with ages varying from 17 years to 20 years.
For cultivation numbers also vary from the lowest level 1 tuccha to the highest at level 5.
While for self-defense, all members of the new royal guard only master one type of martial arts.
When the participants and admirals began to leave the screening test locations, Reno then stood up and spoke to Adista, "Sri Adista, can I touch the jade on the stage?"
Hearing the request, Adista was surprised, but then nodded in agreement with Reno's request.
However, the figure of Reno is a very mysterious person in her eyes.
There is a sense of curiosity about Reno's current strength level.
Adis's curiosity was triggered by how Reno helped Adista when the tragedy in the lake occurred.
Adista realized the incident inside the lake could show that Reno was a powerful young man, but the girl was not sure in what level cultivations does Reno have.
