Chicheng Mountain

Gu Mingxuan clearly saw a set of photos of a handsome young man and Meng Huang'er sitting together, chatting intimately. In particular, the photo of the former holding a sun hat and putting it on the latter, with the young man looking at her with pity and the girl looking dazed, was captured exceptionally well and vividly.

"Why is he everywhere?!"

Gu Mingxuan recognized Chen Mobai immediately.

Shi Wanyu glanced over and saw the photos. Her expression froze slightly, but she still spoke up to explain for Chen Mobai.

"Meng Huang'er is also from the Wuqi Dao Academy. I think she was specially recruited last year. Speaking of which, she's Chen's senior. Since they're from the same school, it's normal for them to go back to Chicheng Mountain together when they meet."

Although Shi Wanyu said that, a hint of disappointment still flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Indeed, only a woman of exceptional talent is worthy of a man like Proud Son of Heaven Chen.

On the other side...

Chen Mobai and Meng Huang'er had already boarded the Dao Academy's special vehicle for transporting students.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Ma Xiaoming."

Among the three, another student from the Wuqi Dao Academy suddenly stopped playing Rubik's Cube's Cube after getting on the bus, turned around and extended his hand to Chen Mobai.

"Chen Mobai".

"I come from Huayang Cave Heaven, and you?"

"Vermilion Cloud City".

"Oh, so you're from Blessed Land. You must be one of the lucky ones from this year's expanded enrollment. What a pity, I thought you were going to be a pro."

But after only a couple of sentences, Ma Xiaoming suddenly lost interest.

After learning that Chen Mobai came from Blessed Land, he turned back to continue playing with the Rubik's Cube in his hand.

Chen Mobai found it a bit strange. Was regional discrimination really that severe among the people of the Thirty-Six Cave Heavens? "Those students who entered the Dao Academy based on their own abilities generally look down on those of us who got in through connections."

A pleasant voice came from beside me, and a sun hat was handed to me by a snow-white hand.

"But I got in through the fair and square entrance exam."

Chen Mobai reached out and took the hat from Meng Huang'er, put it in his schoolbag, and said somewhat unconvinced.

"This year, due to pressure from the Immortal Sect, the Four Great Dao Academies have expanded their enrollment. All of you new students who were admitted from the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands are regarded as being specially recruited through back channels, just like me."

Meng Huang'er's words left Chen Mobai somewhat confused.

"Even you, a Big Star, are discriminated against by the Wuqi Dao Academy."

"To clarify, we are not discriminating against you. We just feel it's very unfair that you were able to Dao Initiation academy so easily, while we, who studied hard for ten years to get in, are left out."

Ma Xiaoming's words came from the front seat.

"He is a second-year student at the Wuqi Dao Academy, and a genius who stood out from the most abundant and competitive Huayang Cave Heaven."

Meng Huang'er gently turned her head to Chen Mobai's ear and whispered about Ma Xiaoming's background.

"Huayang Cave Heaven? Isn't that the territory of the Kunpeng Daoist Academy? He's so powerful, why doesn't he go there? It's closer to home."

Chen Mobai scratched his head, a little puzzled.

Click.

Suddenly, Ma Xiaoming's hand trembled, and he crushed the Rubik's Cube.

"Whee."

Meng Huang'er laughed happily, but immediately felt that she was being a little unreserved, so she pursed her lips, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

"Hmph, I met an eighteen-year-old Foundation Establishment opponent. I lost and can only come to the Wuqi Dao Academy."

Ma Xiaoming's words made Chen Mobai's breathing quicken.

"Eighteen-year-old Foundation Establishment? What kind of monster is this?!"

"Such monsters appear roughly every few years. It seems that there are such monsters among the new students who entered the Dao Academy this year."

Meng Huang'er bit her lip and spoke softly to Chen Mobai.

"Is it a lot?"

"This shouldn't be too much."

Meng Huang'er was unsure and shook her head hesitantly.

"No, there are too many monsters like this this year, so many that every Dao Academy can get one."

Ma Xiaoming was in front, turned around and looked at Chen Mobai with pity.

"The quality of this year's freshmen at the Wuqi Dao Academy is like heaven and earth. You should be used as a negative example, compared with that eighteen-year-old Foundation Establishment genius, and remembered by the entire school."

"That can't be right. Could it be that the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands only accepted me as a new student?"

Chen Mobai felt that Ma Xiaoming was targeting him. Could it be because Meng Huang'er was affectionate towards him? But that shouldn't be the case. Ever since they got on the bus, Ma Xiaoming hadn't even looked at Meng Huang'er properly. He was practically mocking her for being a specially recruited student.

"No, that's not it. I just checked the information of this year's freshmen, and your score is the lowest, so low that you shouldn't have been admitted."

Ma Xiaoming held up his phone, looking at Chen Mobai with some confusion, wondering what was so special about this person that made the Wuqi Dao Academy willing to lower the overall Cutoff Score.

"I was lucky; the entrance exam happened to be one of my strengths."

Chen Mobai admitted that his score was low.

After all, he was indeed lacking compared to those true geniuses, and his tone was slightly humble.

"I hope I won't see you again next year."

At this moment, the car had already arrived at the main gate of the Wuqi Dao Academy.

After Chen Mobai got out of the car, he looked up and saw the Golden Signboard of the Dao Academy.

They were at the foot of the mountain, where a long, Thousand-Step Stairway Unicom the top and bottom. In the middle, there was endless mountain mist, and one could vaguely see stone platforms protruding out, with buildings on them.

Ma Xiaoming had already gone up the mountain and disappeared into the mist.

"Go ahead, your freshmen dormitories are at the foot of the mountain, just walk up a few dozen steps and you'll see them."

Meng Huang'er waved to Chen Mobai, picked up her suitcase, and left in another direction.

"Hey, aren't you going to the Dao Academy?"

"I don't get along well with my roommates, so I rented a place outside."

Meng Huang'er said with a smile, then turned around, leaving behind a graceful figure as she walked away into the distance.

After watching her leave, Chen Mobai suddenly realized what was happening and patted his forehead.

I forgot to ask for their contact information!

Oh well, since we're in the same Dao Academy and she's so famous, we'll definitely have a chance to meet again next time.

With that in mind, Chen Mobai climbed Chicheng Mountain.

As soon as he stepped onto the steps, he felt a gentle spiritual energy flow into his feet, and with each step he took, the energy became even warmer.

Within his dantian, the Spiritual Power Vortex from the Pure Yang Scroll suddenly began to rotate spontaneously, refining and absorbing this gentle spiritual energy.

After just ten steps, he even felt like he was about to break through.

Is this Chicheng Mountain, Fifth Order Spirit Land?

Before Chen Mobai arrived, he had naturally researched a lot of information about the Wuqi Dao Academy.

The Fifth Tier Spiritual Vein of Chicheng Mountain mainly contain spiritual energy of the three attributes of metal, earth, and fire. Therefore, students with Spiritual Root talents in the Wood Attribute, even if they are admitted to the Wuqi Dao Academy, may not choose to come here.

Chen Mobai's Pure Yang Scroll is located here, making it the best Holy Land for cultivation.

These Thousand-Step Stairway seemed to be a Magic Artifact as well. Sensing the Pure Yang Spiritual Power within him, it filtered out the metal Earth Spiritual Qi in the Spirit Land, providing only the purest Fire Spiritual Qi for Chen Mobai to absorb.

With this Fifth Order Spirit Land as its foundation, even if he had to stay here, he would stay for ten years! Chen Mobai made up his mind!
