Inside the wooden house on Chicheng Mountain, Chen Mobai sat on a cushion.

On the floor in front of him were twenty spirit stones he had earned from chopping wood for two days. It was truly hard work.

However, chopping wood indeed was a path to wealth.

This was the price offered by Liu Wenbo. If he had sold it to Fish Lian, the profit would have been doubled.

But Chen Mobai remembered the favor Liu Wenbo had done for him by giving him the scripture of Immortality, so he gave the Red Sun wood to him.

After this incident, the friendship between the two deepened.

“Now I have 50 spirit stones. It’s a pity that I’m still far from the 90 needed for the cultivation of the Dual Yang Body. But these spirit stones are enough to support half a year. Should I start trying?”

Chen Mobai murmured to himself.

In the end, he decided to consult the teachers of the Dance Instrument Dao Academy before proceeding to the next step.

Although he possessed the treasure of the turtle shell, which allowed him to freely travel between two realms, Chen Mobai increasingly felt his energy was limited and could no longer manage what he considered the best plan.

He even wondered if he should give up the scripture of Immortality and the Dual Phase Skill, and focus on the cultivation of the Pure Yang Scroll.

He hoped that after the school started, he could find a teacher who could answer his doubts.

Amidst his many thoughts, Chen Mobai took a rare nap.

Early the next morning.

Chen Mobai left his wooden house, carrying a small backpack, and walked onto the mountain path towards the Dance Instrument Dao Academy.

“Huh!”

A familiar voice came from behind. Chen Mobai turned his head.

He saw a girl with delicate features, curly long hair, wearing a white shirt, light-colored coat, and tight jeans that outlined her perfect waist and hip curves. She was standing on a floating skateboard. It was Meng Huang’er.

“Why are you here? Morning run?”

She took off her headphones and waved at Chen Mobai.

“I’ve been used to sleeping alone since I was a child, so I rented a house outside.”

Chen Mobai gave a reason, but to avoid misunderstanding, he didn’t mention that his wooden house was in the ravine under her villa.

“Is that so? Then I’ll go ahead. Don’t be late.”

Meng Huang’er didn’t suspect anything else. She infused her spiritual power into the skateboard under her feet, put her headphones back on, and instantly passed Chen Mobai, floating along the winding mountain path.

“This skateboard is good. Should I get one too?”

Chen Mobai took out his phone and searched for similar products on the Immortal Gate network. He found that the prices varied greatly.

He clicked on the price list, and the most expensive one was the one Meng Huang’er had just stepped on, costing 880,000 Good Deeds.

He gasped.

What kind of thing dares to sell so expensive.

Chen Mobai clicked in to take a look.

Oh, it turned out to be a second-order magical instrument.

The core was a piece of Earth Elemental Magnet. As long as it was within the range of the Earth Elemental Star’s magnetic field, it could freely float and fly along various terrains, lakes, and mountains.

He had just seen Meng Huang’er floating along the mountain path and thought the function was simple. He didn’t expect that she was just obeying traffic rules and didn’t cross mountains and ridges.

If he took this thing to the Tianhe Realm, Chen Mobai could sell it for 888 spirit stones.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t afford it, and it was a second-order magical instrument specifically for the magnetic field of the Earth Elemental Star. If it was taken to the Tianhe Realm, it would probably be scrapped.

He looked at the time and felt that he might be late, so he immediately applied two Divine Transformation talismans.

“Hey.”

Half an hour later, Chen Mobai caught up with Meng Huang’er at the foot of the Dance Instrument Dao Academy and greeted her.

“Why don’t you go ahead?”

Meng Huang’er hesitated for a moment, seemingly afraid that she might disturb Chen Mobai’s peace at school, and gently made a suggestion.

“Alright, I’ll go to the auditorium first and save you a seat.”

Chen Mobai misunderstood, thinking that Meng Huang’er might have something to do.

Taking advantage of the effect of the Divine Transformation talisman, he lightly jumped, instantly crossing more than a dozen steps. After six or seven jumps, he arrived at the reception platform for new students where he had talked with Qu Hongyu and Meng Mu last time.

However, there was no one here now.

Chen Mobai, following the arrows marked all over Chicheng Mountain, finally arrived at a dome auditorium on the mountainside after climbing nearly a thousand steps.

There was a reception at the entrance, and after swiping his student card, they let him in.

Chen Mobai found a seat in the back corner and sat down. He continued to look at magical instruments similar to the Elemental Magnet Skateboard on his phone, while also keeping an eye on the entrance to see when Meng Huang’er would come in.

However, he waited until the leaders of the academy came on stage to give a speech, but he didn’t see Meng Huang’er appear.

“What’s going on?”

He wanted to ask, but Chen Mobai remembered that he seemed to have not added her as a friend.

“Alright, I’ve finished my speech. Now, please welcome this year’s new student representative to the stage.”

The speech of the leader of the Dance Instrument Dao Academy was very concise. Chen Mobai hadn’t even reacted before he had already stepped down.

The new student representative was a short boy with bangs covering his eyes.

The words he spoke after opening his mouth made all the people sitting below feel a bit embarrassed.

“My name is Zhong Li Tianyu.”

“Originally, my first choice was Kunpeng Dao Academy, and I was already admitted.”

“But after checking my qualifications, they said that compared to the ‘Six Imperial Scriptures’, I am more suitable for practicing the ‘Participation in the Same Contract’, so I had no choice but to come here.”

“That’s all, finished!”

After saying that, he walked straight down the stage and sat down in his seat in the first row.

Chen Mobai had only one feeling.

This person is quite arrogant.

Not only him, but the entire auditorium, including the new students who attended this opening ceremony and even those who had been studying for several years, all looked indignantly at Zhong Li Tianyu who had sat down.

“Is he the monster who had already established his foundation before enrolling?”

“Yes, Zhong Li from the Taixuan Dongtian. After all, he is the descendant of the Divine Transformation ancestor.”

“No wonder he is so arrogant. He indeed has the capital.”

After hearing these words, Chen Mobai felt right.

If he had this background and had already established his foundation, he would probably be more arrogant than this kid.

“Next, please welcome our student representative to the stage…”

The following series of ceremonies, Chen Mobai just went through them. He originally thought that the opening ceremony of the four major Dao Academies would be novel, but it turned out to be no different from high school.

After the opening ceremony, Meng Huang’er was still nowhere to be seen. Just as Chen Mobai was about to leave, a call from an unknown number came in.

After a moment of hesitation, Chen Mobai decided to answer it.

“Hello, I am the teaching assistant from the Taoist Academy. Since your mentor, Taoist Master Shaoyang, is currently in seclusion, I will be guiding your cultivation temporarily to avoid affecting your studies. Are you available now?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Good, then please come to the principal’s office in the teaching building at the top of the mountain. I’ll be waiting for you here.”

After the call ended, Chen Mobai suddenly realized something.

The principal’s office!

Aren’t all the principals of these four Taoist academies Elemental Infants?

Why choose this place to meet?
