Qing Nv couldn’t resist the charm of the Jade Phoenix troupe and agreed to Chen Mobai’s proposal.

After exchanging contact information, Chen Mobai returned home with a hangover cure.

At this time, his uncle Wang Jianyuan had already arrived in his cargo truck. Chen Xinglan was moving to the third-tier spiritual vein cave dwelling at Chixia Academy for two years, so naturally, he had a lot of luggage to bring.

When Chen Mobai arrived home, Chen Xinglan and his wife were busy moving things. After drinking the hangover cure Chen Mobai had bought, Chen Xinglan seemed a bit more energetic.

“I won’t drink again next time.”

Although he said this, Chen Mobai felt that if they had another family gathering, Chen Xinglan would still drink a lot.

With many hands making light work, the bedding and clothes were quickly packed. Chen Xinglan comforted Tang Pancui, whose eyes were slightly red, and picked up his luggage.

“Alright, my son will send me there. You just wait at home.”

After the old couple said their goodbyes, Chen Mobai took the passenger seat.

Chen Xinglan originally intended to go alone, but Tang Pancui was worried, and Chen Mobai wanted to see Chixia Academy, so he went along.

Wang Jianyuan’s driving skills were excellent, and they arrived at their destination in less than an hour, despite the nearly forty-kilometer journey.

“Is this Chixia Academy?”

Chen Mobai looked at the buildings nestled in a large grove of plane trees, feeling the extremely rich spiritual energy in the air, and couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

“Cough…cough…”

Then he couldn’t help but cough violently.

The spiritual energy here contained a hint of heat, which was a bit too much for his throat, unaccustomed as he was to the twelve-story tower.

The spiritual vein here was a fire vein, which naturally made it difficult for Chen Mobai, who had been nourished by the water vein recently, to adapt.

“Do you see that spiritual peak?”

Chen Xinglan got out of the car and pointed to the highest mountain in the deepest part of the plane tree forest. The peak was shrouded in clouds, but they couldn’t hide the top of the spiritual peak, where a huge plane tree stood, seemingly connecting heaven and earth.

“Is that the jade plane tree that has survived for more than four thousand years?”

Danxia City, as one of the seventy-two blessed lands of the Immortal Gate, originated from this fourth-tier top-grade plane tree. It witnessed the rise of the Immortal Gate and took root and multiplied on this mountain range, gathering spiritual energy, suppressing the earth veins, and transforming an ordinary dead volcano into the current fourth-tier spiritual vein.

It can be said that without this spiritual root immortal wood, there would be no Danxia City today.

“The top of that spiritual peak is where Master Shi Qing practices. My Foundation Establishment cave dwelling this time is at the foot of the mountain.”

Chen Xinglan had already applied for a return to school for Foundation Establishment on the official website of Chixia Academy and received approval. Since cars were not allowed inside the school, the three of them carried their luggage and walked to the foot of the spiritual peak.

Before entering the cave dwelling, they naturally had to register with the teacher in charge. Luckily, that person turned out to be Chen Xinglan’s classmate, who had stayed at the school after graduation to handle miscellaneous affairs.

After reading the content of the school’s stamped approval, he immediately arranged for a vacant third-tier lower-grade cave dwelling.

“The school hasn’t changed much in thirty years. You know where the cafeteria is. If you want to save some Good Deeds, you can prepare your own Inedia pills.”

With a familiar person helping, everything went smoothly. Under his guidance, Chen Xinglan reissued a campus card. With this, he could swipe his card to enter the cave dwelling and even enjoy most of the facilities and benefits of Chixia Academy, such as auditing classes, the library, and even the shops selling elixirs, magical instruments, and spiritual talismans exclusively for students.

“Thanks, Old Yan.”

This old classmate of Chen Xinglan’s, named Yan Xiang, helped him reissue his campus card and even brought something from his office for Chen Mobai.

“This is your son, right? I didn’t prepare anything for our first meeting, so I’ll give you this young plane tree.”

Yan Xiang was a very kind middle-aged man. This was a small green plane tree with only two leaves. After getting his father’s permission, Chen Mobai reached out and took it.

“When you enter Chixia Academy, all students will receive a branch of a plane tree, which they must take care of until graduation. After graduation, you can take it with you or plant it in the school if you don’t want to spend too much time on spiritual cultivation. This plane tree forest was created in this way.”

Yan Xiang pointed to the lush plane tree forest all over the mountains, looking proud. After speaking, he had other things to do and left first.

“Alright, we won’t bother you anymore. If you need anything, call me. It’s convenient for me to drive over.”

Wang Jianyuan moved the gifts into the cave dwelling and saw that it was getting late, so he planned to leave.

“Let’s have a meal together. I just reissued my card, and the food in the Chixia Academy cafeteria is excellent.”

Chen Xinglan suggested this, but Wang Jianyuan shook his head, saying that he had a business deal in the afternoon and needed to rush back, so Chen Mobai naturally had to leave as well.

At the school gate, father and son said goodbye. Just as Chen Mobai was about to get in the car, he saw a familiar face.

“Teacher Chan, what are you doing here?”

It was Chan Si, who taught Formation classes at school. She was wearing a red dress today and looked very beautiful. But she was a student at Danzhu Academy, so seeing her at Chixia Academy surprised Chen Mobai.

However, she was not alone; there was another man in a green shirt with her.

“Is it you? Shouldn’t it be class time now?”

Chan Si was also surprised to see Chen Mobai at Chixia Academy.

“I’m here to send my dad…”After explaining, Chan Si nodded in understanding. He glanced at the young green paulownia sapling in Chen Mobai’s hands and wished Chen Xinglan success in his Foundation Establishment with a smile.

“I am here on my master’s orders to introduce this senior brother to Taoist Master Shi Qing.”

The man in the green robe also smiled and nodded at Chen Mobai, without introducing himself.

After the greetings, Chen Mobai remembered that Wang Jianyuan had to rush back for something. He didn’t interact much with Chan Si. After thanking him again for the previous incident with the Bishui Formation, he got into the car.

“Is he your student?”

The man in the green robe asked after Chen Mobai left.

“Yes, he has a good character, but his aptitude is just average.”

“Oh, really? Did I misjudge?”

“What?”

Chan Si didn’t understand the meaning of the man in the green robe’s words. The latter had a secret technique in his cultivation that could sense the fluctuations of divine consciousness. He felt a familiar yet chaotic sense from Chen Mobai.

It was the feeling of a cultivator who had just broken through the late stage of Qi Refining and had not yet precisely grasped his divine consciousness.

He thought that Chen Mobai, being so young, had already reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.

“I remember that he had just broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining at the beginning of this semester. According to his spiritual root aptitude, it’s impossible for him to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining in just one month, right?”

Upon hearing this, Chan Si recalled Chen Mobai’s aptitude and expressed his doubts. The man in the green robe agreed and didn’t think too much about it.

“I select students for the Immortal Gate, so I’m a bit sensitive in this area. Maybe I was mistaken.”

After saying this, the man in the green robe shook his head. He had been pondering over what questions to set for this year’s college entrance examination these days, and his mind was tense. It was possible that he might have sensed something wrong.

“Let’s go. You will be confined in the coming days, and you won’t be able to come down from Lingfeng until after the college entrance examination.”

“To be able to enjoy the fourth-order spiritual vein, I couldn’t ask for more.”

Chan Si led him to a cave dwelling near the waist of the mountain where the jade-green paulownia was located. There were eight lower fourth-order cave dwellings here. The man in the green robe, as the question setter for this year’s college entrance examination, was isolated in one of them.

“I wonder when the people from the Taoist Academy and the Academic Palace will come. After I finish setting the questions, they still have to review them.”

Upon hearing this, Chan Si just smiled without saying anything.
