Wen Xiong was having a hard time accepting it.

Why did those admitted to the Dance Tool Dao Academy seem so ordinary?

Yet at this time, after Chen Mobai announced the name of his academy, the attention of everyone had already shifted from him towards this handsome young man.

That was the Dance Tool Dao Academy!

Those who could get in were the geniuses among geniuses, essentially future Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

“Little brother, could you give my child an autograph?”

A young man holding a little girl walked over, full of admiration. Chen Mobai, who had never experienced such a scene, reached into his pocket only to realize he hadn’t brought a pen.

“Use this.”

Shi Wanyu instantly opened her bag and took out a lipstick pen.

Chen Mobai hesitated. He had brought a green bamboo pen for drawing talismans in his bag.

But faced with the expectant eyes of the bright young girl, he was too embarrassed to refuse.

“Thank you.”

When he took the lipstick pen, Chen Mobai nodded to Shi Wanyu. Her face blushed slightly as if she was somewhat excited.

It was a senior student from the Dance Tool Dao Academy!

Chen Mobai signed his name on a handkerchief hanging around the little girl’s neck, then other people in the carriage began to bring all kinds of objects for autographs.

In the end, the whole lipstick pen was used up, and people from next door’s carriage also heard the commotion and came over in a wave.

“I’m sorry, after getting off the train, I’ll buy you a new one.”

Chen Mobai, with an apologetic look, gave back the lipstick pen, which had been used up, to Shi Wanyu. She immediately shook her head, indicating it was unnecessary.

Then, with a slightly red and lovely face, she took out her mobile phone and asked shyly,

“Could I add you to my contacts?”

“Sure.”

Wen Xiong’s ears turned red with anger. Shi Wanyu’s differential treatment made him unable to bear it any longer and he said,

“Who knows if it’s real or fake?”

At this time, Gu Mingxuan also couldn’t bear the sourness in his heart and nodded in agreement.

Hearing them say this, the passengers in the next carriage, who had planned to ask Chen Mobai for his autograph, also hesitated.

After all, students from the Four Great Daoist Academies were indeed rare.

“What’s going on?”

Just then, the commotion in the carriage attracted the attention of the train attendants. Two men and a woman in blue uniforms came over.

After understanding the situation, one of the higher-ranking men saluted Chen Mobai and said something very politely,

“Sir, as a student of one of the four great Daoist academies, you are entitled to travel in first class on any public transportation in the immortal world.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Chen Mobai had no idea about this.

“May I see your student ID please?”

“I just enrolled this year and haven’t issued a student ID yet.”

Upon hearing this, some people looked skeptical, but the train manager had seen several students from the Four Great Daoist Academies and knew there was more to it.

“Could I see your admission letter?”

Chen Mobai opened his mobile phone and flipped out a screenshot of the electronic version of the admission letter from his album.

After the manager scanned the student ID number on it, his attitude became more respectful.

“You are in the normal carriage, which could cause a gathering. It would be better if you come with me to first class.”

Chen Mobai was reluctant within. After all, by sheer luck, he was seated next to a beautiful young girl.

But seeing the crowd from the nearby carriages squeezing in the aisle trying to get in, he thought it better to leave.

“In that case, thank you.”

After thanking the train manager, Chen Mobai picked up the ancient book from the table, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and got up to leave.

“Oh, I almost forgot.”

As he was leaving, Chen Mobai took out his mobile phone and added Shi Wanyu to his contacts.

“See you if fate allows.”

Hearing this, watching the handsome young man leave nonchalantly, Shi Wanyu suppressed a throb in her heart.

Was this a genius from the Dance Tool Dao Academy?

Gu Mingxuan and Wen Xiong looked at each other, the former sagged, the latter slightly unconvinced.

After arriving in the first class compartment, Chen Mobai was surprisingly the only one there.

“This area is usually reserved for Foundation Establishment True Cultivators and students of the Four Great Daoist Academies.”

The train manager explained, then pointed to the young, attractive female attendant, indicating she was in charge of the first-class carriage and could be approached if needed.

“Thank you.”

After expressing his thanks again, Chen Mobai finally had some peace.

He began to seriously read the Longevity Scripture.

As Qi Cultivation was the only section covered, it wasn’t very lengthy, but Chen Mobai couldn’t help but doubt his comprehension due to the cryptic ancient text.

After all, he was considered a genius who had passed the examination to the Dance Tool Dao Academy, so why couldn’t he understand this ancient text?

Chen Mobai took out his mobile phone and began to look up the meanings word by word.

He didn’t finish until it started to get dark and the outer attendant had already brought dinner. He had completed the annotation and translation of the whole text.

Even so, Chen Mobai felt that he might still have some misunderstanding.

When night fell and the attendant turned off all the lights in the train, Chen Mobai went to the restroom, where he used the Turtle Treasure to teleport to the Tianhe Realm.

“Elder Brother Yuan, I have some questions about the Longevity Scripture.”

“My charges are not cheap.”

Yuan Chiye clarified in advance.

Naturally, Chen Mobai couldn’t afford the charge of ten Spirit Stones, but he just wanted to consult the meaning of a few sentences, and verify whether he had misunderstood the translation.

He gave Yuan Chiye two Spirit Stones, who reluctantly agreed to proofread it for Chen Mobai for twenty minutes.

As a result, Chen Mobai’s translation was generally correct, only some minor interpretations differed from Yuan Chiye’s.

“Don’t worry about that, as there are a thousand hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes. In the words of Ancestor Zhou, if everyone practices the same cultivation technique in exactly the same way without exception, the Divine Wood Sect would not be far from extinction.”

Regarding this minor difference, Yuan Chiye thought it was only natural, and Chen Mobai could only temporarily accept it.

But for actual cultivation practices, he would wait until he reached the Crimson City Cave Heaven, and consult the professors in the academy.

As Chen Mobai was leaving, he suddenly remembered something.

He asked Yuan Chiye a probing question.

If life were really too hard to bear, would he consider selling the Foundation Building Pill?

Yuan Chiye’s attitude was resolute.

Even if he died, he would swallow the Foundation Building Pill before he did.

The Divine Wood Sect could only harvest Jade Marrow Golden Mushrooms once a decade. If Yuan Chiye gave up the Foundation Pill now, he would have to wait another decade.

And ten years later, whether the sect would allow him to exchange for another Foundation Pill was uncertain.

Even for geniuses like E Yun who had failed in their first tried Foundation Establishment, their value would diminish greatly in the eyes of the higher-ups.

Therefore, even though there were cultivators in the Divine Wood Sect who succeeded in Foundation Establishment after taking the pill twice, all True Disciples knew that they could only win the favor of the sect and get more resource allocation by succeeding in one go.

“Only True Disciples who succeed in Foundation Establishment in one go can enter the Three Divine Trees and get the true inheritance of our sect..”
