Wealth Is Great!

Bai Lu still needed to submit Qin Ze's information to the protectors. After all, Innate Full Soul Power was not something one encountered every day. If nurtured properly, the sect might one day gain another Titled Douluo elder to guard it.

Next, Bai Lu handed Qin Ze a key with his dormitory details engraved on it. He only needed to follow the information to find it.

After putting away the key, Zhong Han and Qin Ze left the room and headed outside.

Once they were out, Zhong Han reminded him, "You'll be staying in the new disciples' dormitory. Someone will come tomorrow morning to arrange your lessons and teach you all sorts of things. Rest well today and familiarize yourself with the surroundings."

Qin Ze smiled. "I understand. Thank you for troubling yourself with me all this way."

"What trouble? I was only showing you the way." Zhong Han waved her hand. "I'll be leaving now. I need to handle some matters at the Soul Fighting Arena."

"Alright!"

With that, Zhong Han turned and left, leaving Qin Ze behind.

"Let's go take a look at the dormitory." Watching Zhong Han disappear into the distance, Qin Ze lowered his head and examined the identification card and key in his hand.

There was a marking on the key. His dormitory was in the Disciple Building, Building Three, fifth floor, Room Five.

There were signposts everywhere along the roads, so Qin Ze was not worried about getting lost.

The Disciple Building was where all Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect disciples below the rank of deacon lived. It covered a vast area and consisted of ten large buildings.

After walking for nearly a quarter of an hour, Qin Ze finally passed an artificial lake and arrived at the entrance to the Disciple Building.

Outside the gates, crowds came and went. Some were heading to the Outer Hall's main building to accept missions, some were dragging their companions out to have fun, and others hurried along while complaining about being late.

Once he entered the Disciple Building, Qin Ze found himself before an area that resembled a garden residential complex.

As expected of one of the wealthiest sects, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. How many other sects could afford to build housing like this for their disciples?

After finding Building Three, Qin Ze saw no staff members and simply headed upstairs.

The moment he started walking, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Are you a newly admitted disciple?"

Hearing the voice, Qin Ze looked up. Three people were standing ahead of him at the staircase landing on the second floor.

"Hello!" Qin Ze greeted them.

The three stared at Qin Ze with delighted expressions, leaving him thoroughly confused.

"I didn't expect to run into another new disciple like us." The speaker was a skinny little boy named Feng Xinyuan.

The other two were named Xiong Mengda and Qu Shizhong.

Feng Xinyuan introduced everyone in a friendly, familiar manner, and Qin Ze finally understood who they were.

Unlike Qin Ze, the ancestors of the three boys had joined the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect centuries ago. Joining the sect was simply inheriting the family trade for them.

"You only entered the sect after taking the advancement competition?" In the second-floor corridor, Feng Xinyuan looked at Qin Ze in astonishment.

"Is there a problem?" Qin Ze asked.

"No, no." Feng Xinyuan waved his hands. "Our ancestors joined the sect a long time ago, so we've belonged to the sect ever since we were born. We only truly become members after awakening our martial souls at the age of six."

"I see!" Qin Ze nodded.

"Hehe, you came at just the right time. We're planning to go out for a stroll. Want to come with us? Classes start tomorrow, and there won't be much time to play after that." Feng Xinyuan asked.

Qin Ze shook his head. "I'll pass. I still have a lot of things to take care of."

Feng Xinyuan was not disappointed. Smiling, he said, "Alright, then we'll make plans next time. Maybe we'll even be assigned to study in the same place tomorrow."

"No problem!" Qin Ze agreed. Making a few friends was not a bad thing.

"Bye-bye, we're leaving first." Before long, Feng Xinyuan and the others waved goodbye and left.

Watching the three depart, Qin Ze headed toward his own room as well.

When he reached the fifth floor and followed the room numbers, Qin Ze finally arrived before a tightly shut door. He took out his key and unlocked it.

Before he even entered, a faint fragrance drifted out from inside.

An elegantly decorated room appeared before Qin Ze. It was rectangular, and the first thing he saw was a large bed with neatly arranged blankets and pillows. Beside the bed was a desk, while a round Soul Guiding Lamp hung from the ceiling. Its switch was on the wall by the entrance.

Qin Ze stepped inside. He did not have many belongings, only a bundle containing several new sets of clothes and pants, along with washing supplies.

Clean, orderly, and fresh. That was Qin Ze's first impression.

Even the bathroom was spotlessly clean. Moreover, the room even came with a balcony outside...

"Having money is great!" Qin Ze finally sighed.

He remembered that when Huo Yuhao went to Shrek Academy's dormitories in the original story, they had been unbelievably shabby.

Du Busi had given Qin Ze a money pouch containing one hundred Gold Soul Coins. That was far too much for Qin Ze. Back in Maple Leaf Village, he did not even spend one Gold Soul Coin in an entire year. After all, food grew in the fields, and he only needed to buy a few daily necessities.

What he needed now were also some daily necessities.

"I'll go buy some things after eating." Qin Ze thought over what he needed, then headed out.

In a sense, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect resembled a university from his previous life. As long as disciples were not assigned to stand guard, they were generally quite free. Other than cultivating, all they did was cultivate.

What satisfied Qin Ze most was that the cafeteria was free. He did not know whether it was because of his martial soul, but his appetite had also skyrocketed. Last night at the hotel, he had eaten enough food for six people before he was full.

Fortunately, the hotel food had been free. Otherwise, he would have been finished and could only wash dishes to pay off the bill.

After leaving the cafeteria, Qin Ze rubbed his freshly filled stomach. After he left, the staff member responsible for clearing the plates froze in place. She stared blankly at the stack of dishes.

The plates were so clean they practically reflected light. How could someone eat that much?

There was a place within the sect that sold daily necessities. Qin Ze followed the signs to find the shop and bought everything he needed.

However, when he passed by a spacious plaza, he stopped.

In the plaza, two girls were happily playing with a large butterfly kite.

"Is it pretty?"

Just as Qin Ze paused to watch, a calm voice sounded behind him.

Hearing the voice, Qin Ze's pupils suddenly contracted, and he hurriedly turned around.

He saw an old man over six feet tall standing not far behind him. The man had powerful muscles all over his body, and his hair was actually red.

When did he appear? Qin Ze's expression remained unchanged, but alarm surged within him.

However, the red-haired Elder seemed to see through Qin Ze's thoughts. "If an illustrious Soul Douluo like me could be detected by a mere Soul Master like you, then I would have lived in vain."

"A Soul Douluo!" Qin Ze glanced at the Elder.

"That girl... I told her to cultivate properly and obtain her soul ring as soon as possible. Why won't she listen?" The red-haired Elder ignored Qin Ze and instead looked toward Wu Feng, who was happily playing, his face filled with worry.

Qin Ze recalled that Zhong Han had said Wu Feng was the granddaughter of an Outer Hall elder. That meant this old man was Wu Feng's Grandfather!

"With Innate Full Soul Power, your talent is quite good." Wu Qingyang glanced at Qin Ze, then strode into the plaza. His calm expression immediately became kind and gentle.

"He knows me!" Qin Ze watched Wu Qingyang's retreating back.

Starting tomorrow, I'll basically be maintaining updates of seven thousand characters. I'm wondering whether I should get Electrolux. You all decide.

As for the readers saying the plot is dragging, I noticed it. Spoilers are wrong, but there's no helping it. I feel like many readers have already left. If I don't say something, there won't be anyone left. There will be a lot of Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect plot later on. I can't just casually write the early part and skip past it, or the later connections would feel abrupt. That's why I wrote about the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect early on. Otherwise, I would have started directly with Shrek Academy and followed the original plot. Wouldn't that have been wonderful?

Lastly, thank you to Angel for the monthly ticket.
