Soon enough, Chen Mobai arrived at the first stone platform.

Two people, a man and a woman who were in charge of welcoming new students, were sitting behind a long desk. Seeing Chen Mobai approaching, they immediately waved him over.

Unlike Ma Xiaoming, they didn’t discriminate against him and once they confirmed his admission certificate and identity, they assigned him a dormitory and issued his student card.

“Good, your information has now been entered into the school’s system.”

“The Daoist Academy Library and classes all require your student card, but of course, you can also link your student card to your phone. Most places accept electronic student cards, with the only exception being the Dance Instruments Hall.”

“Only the physical student card can be used to enter there. Additionally, the library in the Daoist Academy provides free access to Cultivation Technique books for its students. But if you want to download, you need the corresponding permissions.”

“Generally speaking, those practicing Qi Cultivation can only download related materials.”

The student taking care of enrolment gave an example, and Chen Mobai nodded in understanding.

“Alright, your advisor is… Huh… It’s actually Zhenren Shaoyang…”

The student entered Chen Mobai’s information and checked the allocation from the Daoist Academy, she looked surprised.

“Did they make a mistake? This Zhenren has been in retreat for ten years.”

After refreshing the page to confirm there was no mistake, she looked at Chen Mobai with sympathetic eyes.

“May I ask, is there a problem with this Zhenren Shaoyang?”

“Not really. It’s just that he’s been in retreat for a long time. If you’re assigned under his name, you might not see him for a decade or so. But don’t worry, students at the Daoist Academy are free to choose courses of their interest. As long as you can accumulate 10 credits by the end of the term, and don’t fail any tests over three years, you won’t be asked to leave the academy.”

Chen Mobai took the opportunity to ask which courses were easier to get credits from, and how to spend the least amount of time to accumulate enough credits.

“I guess it depends on you, I can’t say much.”

The senior student, who tied her hair in a ponytail and wore round glasses, looked very elegant. She avoided discussing Chen Mobai’s question further.

“Here, this is your student card.”

At this moment, the male student on the side grabbed a rectangular badge from a small laser cutter on the desk. It had just finished being processed.

Chen Mobai took it and discovered it was also a Magic Artifact.

“Keep it safe. For replacements, you need 100 Good Deed Points.”

After thanking them, Chen Mobai continued onwards, quickly arriving at the new student dormitory building.

He walked in and found his dorm on the third floor… Room 303! After pushing the door open, Chen Mobai found he was the first to arrive.

It was a four-person room.

This won’t work.

On top of the stone platform where new students were received, the senior student brother and sister who had just sat down watched Chen Mobai come down again.

“Huh, did you put your things down so quickly?”

“Is there any single-room accommodation available at the school?”

Chen Mobai shook his head and then asked a question that made both of them exchanged glances.

“We do have some better conditioned double rooms, and if you want a single room, you’ll have to go to faculty housing. But you definitely won’t be able to stay there.”

The senior student, who thought that Chen Mobai came from a wealthy family and wasn’t used to dorms, told him upfront to break his illusion.

“This won’t work!”

Hearing this, Chen Mobai shook his head again, then asked a question that both of them didn’t know how to answer.

“Can new students rent a house off-campus?”

“Well, there’s no rule against it, but the Grade of the Spirit Veins outside Crimson Mountain definitely can’t compare to those inside the school. Are you sure you want to rent a house outside?”

Chen Mobai had too many secrets to keep. Plus, he had just been admitted to the Divine Wood Sect in the Tianhe Realm, and he needed to travel frequently between the two realms. He definitely needed to live alone.

However, the senior student sister made a point; if he can’t enjoy the benefits of Crimson Mountain, a Rank-5 Spirit Vein, it would be counterproductive.

“There are cultivation rooms in the school, right?”

But soon, Chen Mobai realized something.

It wouldn’t make sense that the Daoist Academy allows students to cultivate in their dorms. They definitely must have special places for cultivation.

“Of course, there are, from the lowest Rank-2 to highest Rank-4. They’re provided free of charge to teachers and students according to their cultivation Realms.”

“What about Rank-5?”

“A Rank-5 could be used, but only with the application of a real-level professor and the approval of the Dean.”

After saying that, student counselor realized she might be providing too much information. This was irrelevant to the new students; they didn’t need to know this.

“If you really want to live off-campus, it would be best to let your adviser know.”

“Isn’t my adviser in retreat? I don’t even have his contact information.”

Chen Mobai shrugged, at a loss. The counselor and the senior student glanced at each other, agreeing.

“I’ll leave first then.”

In the end, Chen Mobai, with his backpack, went down the mountain.

He walked in the direction where Meng Huang disappeared for about ten minutes and indeed found a modern small town.

After asking a few people, he quickly found a house agency.

“Young man, what are your requirements for rental housing?”

“A quieter place, preferably a detached house in a less populated area.”

“I see, you’re looking for the villa district, but the rent might be a bit expensive.”

The agent showed Chen Mobai a few houses, but he wasn’t satisfied.

“Do you have any cave dwelling villas in the mountains here? There should be one every few hundred meters, but make sure it has electricity, water, and spiritual energy.”

Chen Mobai further specified his demands.

The agent looked embarrassed.

“We do have some, but most of them are already rented by masters who came to retreat in the Crimson Mountain range. The rest are in poor locations.”

“Take me to see.”

Half an hour later, Chen Mobai was brought to a two-story wooden house located in a mountain ravine.

“It’s by the hill and water, only the lighting isn’t very good.”

The agent led Chen Mobai into the house, looking a bit embarrassed. The house was quite dusty and had sparse furniture – only wooden bed, table, and chairs, no appliances.

Chen Mobai looked up and from the second-floor balcony, he saw a luxurious wooden villa at the top of the mountain, taking up all the beautiful scenery and views.

“That’s the dwelling place of the superstar, Meng Huang. She often comes out in the mornings to do her vocal exercises. If you live here, you will be woken up by her beautiful voice every day. That’s the main advantage of this wooden house.”

Facing this rundown wooden house, the agent couldn’t think of any other selling points. After cleaning the dust with a Cleaning Technique, he could only point at the mountain-top villa and say this.

Chen Mobai, upon hearing this, remembered the dream he had when he first heard Meng Huang sing and immediately decided.

“I’ll take this one!”
