Wen Xiong was having a hard time accepting it.
Why would someone who could enter the Dance Instrument Dao Academy appear so ordinary?
However, after Chen Mobai introduced himself, all the attention and gazes had shifted from him to this handsome young man.
That was the Dance Instrument Dao Academy!
Those who could enter were the geniuses among geniuses, basically all future Foundation Establishment cultivators.
“Young man, could you give my child an autograph?”
A young man holding a little girl approached, his face full of admiration. Chen Mobai, who had never experienced such a situation, patted his pocket and found he didn’t bring a pen.
“Use this.”
Shi Wanyu immediately opened her bag and took out a lipstick pen.
Chen Mobai hesitated. In fact, he had a green bamboo pen for drawing symbols in his bag.
But facing the expectant eyes of the beautiful girl, he was too embarrassed to refuse.
“Thank you.”
When he took the lipstick pen, Chen Mobai nodded at Shi Wanyu. The latter’s face turned slightly red, seemingly a bit excited.
This was a senior from the Dance Instrument Dao Academy!
Chen Mobai signed his name on the handkerchief tied around the little girl’s neck. Then, other passengers in the carriage also came over with various items for him to sign.
In the end, the entire lipstick pen was used up. Hearing the commotion, people from the next carriage also came over.
“I’m sorry, I’ll buy you a new one when I get off.”
Chen Mobai returned the used lipstick pen to Shi Wanyu with an apologetic look. The latter immediately shook her head, indicating it was unnecessary.
Then, her pretty face turned slightly red as she took out her phone and asked shyly.
“Can I add your contact?”
“Sure.”
Wen Xiong was so angry that his ears turned red. Shi Wanyu’s differential treatment made him unable to bear it any longer, and he said.
“Who knows if it’s true or not?”
At this point, Gu Mingxuan couldn’t help but feel bitter, and nodded in agreement.
Hearing them say this, the passengers from the next carriage who had come over to get Chen Mobai’s autograph also hesitated.
After all, students from the Four Dao Academies were extremely rare.
“What’s going on?”
At this moment, the commotion in the carriage attracted the attention of the attendants. Two people in blue uniforms came over.
After understanding the situation, one of the men, who was obviously of higher rank, saluted Chen Mobai and politely said something.
“Dear passenger, students from the Four Dao Academies can ride in the first-class cabin unconditionally on any public transportation within the Immortal Gate.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Chen Mobai really didn’t know about this.
“Can I see your student ID?”
“I just enrolled this year, and I haven’t processed my student ID yet.”
Hearing this, some people showed doubtful expressions. However, the conductor had served several students from the Four Dao Academies before and knew there was more to it.
“Would an admission letter work?”
Chen Mobai opened his phone and found a screenshot of the electronic version of his admission letter from his album.
After the conductor scanned the student ID number on it, his attitude became even more respectful.
“You being in the regular carriage can cause a crowd. It’s better if you come with me to the first-class cabin.”
Chen Mobai was reluctant in his heart. After all, he was lucky to be sitting next to a beautiful girl.
However, seeing people from the nearby two carriages crowding in the aisle trying to get in, he thought it would be better to leave.
“Then I’ll trouble you.”
After thanking the conductor, Chen Mobai picked up the ancient book on the table, put on his small backpack, and got up to leave.
“Oh, I almost forgot.”
As he was leaving, Chen Mobai took out his phone and added Shi Wanyu’s contact.
“See you if fate allows.”
Hearing these words and watching the handsome young man leave gracefully, Shi Wanyu suppressed the throbbing in her heart.
Was this the genius of the Dance Instrument Dao Academy?
Gu Mingxuan and Wen Xiong looked at each other. The former was dejected, and the latter was slightly unconvinced.
After arriving in the first-class cabin, Chen Mobai found that he was the only one there.
“Usually, these are prepared for Foundation Establishment cultivators and people from your Four Dao Academies.”
The conductor explained, then pointed to the young and beautiful attendant next to him, indicating that she was in charge of the first-class cabin and he could find her if he needed anything.
“Thank you.”
After thanking them again, Chen Mobai finally had some peace.
He began to seriously read the Longevity Sutra.
Since it only had the Qi Refining chapter, the word count and length were not long. However, the convoluted text still made Chen Mobai start to doubt his comprehension.
He was considered a genius who had been admitted to the Dance Instrument Dao Academy, so why couldn’t he understand this ancient text?
Chen Mobai stubbornly took out his phone and started to look up the meaning of each word.
He was busy until it got dark, and the attendant outside brought dinner before he finished annotating and translating the entire text.
Even so, Chen Mobai felt that he might still have some misunderstandings.
When night fell and the attendant turned off all the lights on the train, Chen Mobai went to the bathroom and used the Turtle Treasure to teleport to the Tianhe Realm.
“Senior Brother Yuan, I have some questions about the Longevity Sutra that I want to ask you.”
“I charge a lot.”
Yuan Chiyi stated in advance.
Naturally, Chen Mobai couldn’t afford the fee of ten spirit stones. However, he just wanted to ask about a few sentences, to compare with what he had translated, to see if there were any misunderstandings.
He gave Yuan Chiyi two spirit stones, and the latter reluctantly proofread for Chen Mobai for twenty minutes.The result was that Chen Mobai’s translation was generally correct, but there was a slight deviation in his understanding compared to Yuan Chiyi.
“Don’t worry about this. As the old ancestor Zhou once said, if everyone practices the same technique in exactly the same way, without any change, then the Shenmu Sect is not far from extinction.”
Yuan Chiyi thought this difference was only natural, and Chen Mobai could only accept it for now.
However, for specific cultivation, he would wait until he reached Chicheng Dongtian, and then ask the professors in the Dao Academy.
When Chen Mobai was leaving, he suddenly remembered something.
He tentatively asked Yuan Chiyi a question.
If life became unbearable, would he choose to sell the Foundation Establishment Pill?
Yuan Chiyi was very firm in his response.
Even if he were to die, he would consume the Foundation Establishment Pill before his death.
The Shenmu Sect could only harvest the Jade Marrow Golden Mushroom once every ten years. If Yuan Chiyi gave up the Foundation Establishment Pill now, he would have to wait another ten years.
And even after ten years, it was uncertain whether the sect would allow him to exchange for another Foundation Establishment Pill.
Even a genius like E Yun, if he failed in his first Foundation Establishment, his value would greatly decrease in the eyes of the upper echelons.
So even though there were cultivators in the Shenmu Sect who succeeded in Foundation Establishment after taking the pill twice, all the true disciples knew that only by succeeding in one go could they gain the favor of the sect and receive more resources.
“Only the true disciples who succeed in Foundation Establishment at the first attempt can enter the Three Divine Trees and receive the true inheritance of our sect.”
