That Year, That Day, That Sunset

The core compass was an instrument used to measure the quality of a person's cultivation core.

Every academy had a core compass provided by the Ministry of Rites. The instrument was precious and only used during the triennial academy admissions.

Fang Lang could not believe Mentor Wen managed to get his hands on the core compass.

His purple core was not some useless piece of garbage. It managed to shock Mentor Wen which meant it was of some quality.

Fang Lang let out a relieved sigh. That was one issue solved for the upcoming Imperial Examination.

"This is the core compass borrowed from the headmaster. You must be confused about your own core, right? We can test it and you'll know for sure," Mentor Wen said expectedly.

Headmaster Cui had a kind smile as he stroked his white beard. "Wen Ting tells me you might've experienced a core mutation, so I got curious. A core mutation is a rare phenomenon and I'm here to learn more about it."
