She’s really beautiful.

That was Chen Mobai’s thought after taking a good look at her.

A faint, pleasant fragrance wafted from her, particularly appealing.

However, he quickly focused his mind on the Eternal Life Scripture in his hands.

Since this cultivation method originated from the Tianhe Realm, he couldn’t use the Immortal Gate’s auxiliary cultivation software to find the insights and lecture videos of predecessors. He could only rely on his own understanding to learn.

To be honest, this was quite challenging for Chen Mobai.

He was used to searching for answers online whenever he encountered a problem. Now, he was expected to rely solely on his own comprehension to study the Eternal Life Scripture, which was recorded in classical Chinese. It was indeed a bit difficult for him.

When they first received this Qi Refining method, the new disciples, including him, had consulted Yuan Chiyi.

However, the latter only came to teach the rules of the Shenmu Sect. If they wanted to ask him about cultivation methods, they needed to pay additional spirit stone fees.

The price was not low, ten spirit stones for one lecture.

But Yuan Chiyi was not trying to exploit these new disciples. He was trying to exchange for Foundation Establishment pills, and had not only exhausted his savings of twenty years but also borrowed many contribution points from his fellow disciples. He was now penniless and heavily in debt.

Under such circumstances, Yuan Chiyi had long stopped caring about his dignity as a true disciple and started taking on high-intensity tasks, trying every possible way to earn spirit stones and sect contribution points.

However, Yuan Chiyi also told them that the sect had set up a scripture hall for the growth of these new disciples.

Inside, there were many senior brothers and sisters who had failed in Foundation Establishment. In order to repay the contribution points they owed to the sect, they would come to give free lectures from time to time, some on cultivation methods, some on talisman, spiritual plants, alchemy, and other cultivation arts.

If they inquired in advance, they could hear the cultivation insights of the Eternal Life Scripture.

However, their group had to wait until three months later to go to the scripture hall.

“Hello.”

Just as Chen Mobai was engrossed in his book, a clear voice came to his ears.

He turned his head and met the eyes of a girl with a charming smile. She was holding a book bag on her white thighs and turned to introduce herself.

“My name is Shi Wanyu, I’m going to study at Chicheng Cave Heaven.”

“Chen Mobai, I’m also going to study.”

Since she had taken the initiative to speak, Chen Mobai naturally wouldn’t be unresponsive. He smiled and put down the book in his hand.

“Are you from the Longevity Academy?”

Shi Wanyu extended her white finger and pointed at the ancient book on the train table in front of Chen Mobai. The five big characters of the Eternal Life Scripture were very conspicuous.

“No, I found this in an old market. Some of the views inside are very interesting, so I thought I’d read it while on the train.”

Chen Mobai knew about the Longevity Academy. It was a university branched out from the Medical Palace, focusing on the research of cultivators’ lifespan under the sponsorship of the Immortal Gate, aiming to break the lifespan limit of cultivators at each realm.

This academy had already researched many elixirs that could prolong the life of cultivators at various realms. Unfortunately, due to the lack of resources in the Immortal Gate, they couldn’t be widely promoted.

“Which university are you from? The universities in Chicheng Cave Heaven are basically in the same district. I’m from Liuguang Academy, so we might see each other often in the future.”

When Shi Wanyu said this, Chen Mobai’s spirit was instantly lifted.

You finally asked.

“Wanyu, what a coincidence, you’re on this train too.”

Just as Chen Mobai was about to mention the Dance Instrument Dao Institute, a handsome and sunny young man with luggage walked into the carriage.

As soon as he entered, his gaze was fixed on Shi Wanyu, and he also glanced at Chen Mobai next to her with a hint of caution.

“Gu Mingxuan?”

Shi Wanyu looked a bit surprised when she saw the young man, as if she didn’t expect to be in the same carriage with him.

Chen Mobai shrugged helplessly, reined in his desire to show off in front of the girl, picked up the Eternal Life Scripture on the table, and continued reading.

Gu Mingxuan came to their table and subtly sized up Chen Mobai. After taking the Clear Fire Pill, Chen Mobai’s spiritual sense was already quite strong at the Qi Refining level, and he was very sensitive to the young man’s gaze.

But Chen Mobai didn’t say anything, just frowned and raised the ancient book in his hand, casually blocking the young man’s line of sight.

Only then did Gu Mingxuan sit down. He sat directly across from Shi Wanyu, happily put away his luggage, and naturally started chatting with her.

After listening for a while, Chen Mobai learned that they were classmates from the same high school in Yumu City.

Like him, they were both going to report to their universities.

However, according to Chen Mobai’s guess, Gu Mingxuan was probably not on the same train with Shi Wanyu by coincidence. He must have inquired in advance and done it on purpose.

He had seen this kind of trick on TV many times.

“Move, you’re in my seat.”

Just as Gu Mingxuan was enjoying himself, a cold voice rang out.

A young man with a buzz cut, wearing a vest and long pants, and a tattoo on one arm, stood next to him.

“Understood.”

The tattooed young man’s tone was not very good, which made Gu Mingxuan frown slightly. But in order to show his manners in front of Shi Wanyu, he still gave up his seat and sat across from Chen Mobai.

“This is also my seat.”

Just as Gu Mingxuan sat down, the tattooed young man took out two tickets and waved them at him.

“Bro, it’s a waste for you to take up two seats alone. Why don’t you transfer one to me?”

Seeing the two tickets in his hand, Gu Mingxuan’s eyes lit up and he politely asked.

“The reason I bought two tickets is to sit comfortably. Move.”

The tattooed young man’s tone was not polite at all, and Gu Mingxuan’s face turned from green to white.

“Aren’t you in this carriage?”

Shi Wanyu asked a little strangely, and Gu Mingxuan immediately took out his ticket. It was indeed for this train, but not for this carriage.

The girl’s bright eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of realization.

She probably knew.

Gu Mingxuan could only leave with his luggage unwillingly.After the tattooed teenager sat down, he couldn’t help but brighten up at the sight of the vibrant and curvaceous young girl sitting across from him.

“Hello, my name is Wen Xiong…”

“Wanyu, I asked the attendant, there are two vacant spots in the soft sleeper section. I upgraded my ticket, why don’t you come with me? It’s more spacious there, and it would be inconvenient for you to hold all these gifts.”

Before Wen Xiong could finish his sentence, Gu Mingxuan rushed over excitedly, holding his ticket and joining them at the table.

“Our journey to Chicheng Cave Heaven will only take a day. We can meditate and we’ll be there in no time, there’s no need to waste Good Deed.”

Shi Wanyu frowned slightly and shook her head in refusal.

Gu Mingxuan looked disappointed, but he used the excuse of knowing people here to sit on his luggage and shamelessly stayed.

“Beautiful lady, are you also going to Chicheng Cave Heaven? I’m a freshman at the Pure Yang Academy. Can I have your contact information?”

At this moment, Wen Xiong spoke again.

His gaze was intense, not hiding his admiration for Shi Wanyu at all.

“Pure Yang Academy!”

Sure enough, upon hearing him announce his school, both Gu Mingxuan and Shi Wanyu looked shocked.

Not only them, but all the passengers in the carriage who heard his words looked over in surprise. Some even stood up, wanting to catch a glimpse of the Pure Yang student.

“True to the style of Pure Yang Academy!”

“Only those with outstanding personalities can go further on the path of cultivation. This young man is clearly a promising talent.”

“Kid, you should learn from this brother and strive to get into Pure Yang Academy in the future.”

The admiring words and respectful gazes from the surroundings made Wen Xiong the center of attention in the carriage.

However, Wen Xiong didn’t care. He had grown up in such an environment.

He was a genius.

Isn’t it normal for a genius to enter Pure Yang Academy?

Unfortunately, the small place he came from lacked competitors. Even after defeating all his opponents, he still couldn’t catch the eye of the Four Great Dao Academies and had to choose the Pure Yang Academy, which was among the top ten academies.

“Maybe next time.”

However, Shi Wanyu shook her head and refused Wen Xiong’s request for her contact information.

This made Chen Mobai, who couldn’t help but put down his book, look at her with new eyes.

Gu Mingxuan, who had been hanging his head, revived like a shot of adrenaline at her words, his face flushed with excitement.

“Tsk.”

Wen Xiong clicked his tongue at Shi Wanyu’s refusal.

But he was a man who cared about his face, so he didn’t persist. He casually laid down on the two seats he had bought, his hands resting on the back of the seat, and continued to gaze at Shi Wanyu’s radiant face and curvaceous figure with fervent eyes.

His blatant staring made Gu Mingxuan, who was sitting on the side, frown.

“Bro, can I swap tickets with you? I have a soft sleeper.”

Gu Mingxuan didn’t want to argue with Wen Xiong, and he didn’t feel comfortable leaving Shi Wanyu alone here. Seeing Chen Mobai reading by the window, he brightened up and took out his ticket.

“No, my mom told me not to take advantage of others.”

Chen Mobai said with a smile, almost making Gu Mingxuan choke.

This kid must also be coveting Wanyu’s beauty, that’s why he doesn’t want to leave.

Thinking this way, Gu Mingxuan’s gaze towards Chen Mobai and Wen Xiong was full of caution.

“Longevity Sutra! Are you from Yanshou Academy?”

It was only then that Wen Xiong noticed Chen Mobai. He glanced at the ancient book in his hand and asked with a hint of surprise.

Chicheng Cave Heaven, as the location of the Immortal Gate’s Four Great Dao Academies’ Weapon Dao Academy, with its fifth-order spiritual vein, naturally attracted many universities.

In addition to the leading Weapon Dao Academy and the second-tier Pure Yang Academy, there were twelve other academies.

Liu Guang Academy and Yanshou Academy were among them.

Finally, it’s my turn.

Hearing Wen Xiong ask him, Chen Mobai suppressed his excitement, casually put down the book in his hand, and announced his school.

“No, I’m from the Weapon Dao Academy!”

In an instant, the entire carriage fell silent.

Shi Wanyu’s mouth fell open in shock.

She looked at Chen Mobai’s handsome face by the window, the soft sunlight falling on him, making the young man seem to glow!
