This One

Soon, Chen Mobai arrived at the first stone platform.

Two people, a man and a woman, were sitting behind a long table. When they saw Chen Mobai come up, they immediately reached out to greet him.

Unlike Ma Xiaoming, they didn't discriminate against him. After confirming his admission certificate and identity information, they arranged a dormitory for him and issued him Student ID.

"Okay, your information has been entered into the school's system."

"You need to swipe your Student ID to go to the Library or class at the Dao Academy. Of course, you can also save your Student ID to your phone. Most places support electronic Student ID, except for the Dance Weapon Hall."

"Only students can enter that area by swiping their Student ID. Possessing the Dao Academy Library are free for all students of the academy, but you need the appropriate permissions to download them."

"Generally Qi Refining, you can only download Qi Refining -related content."

The senior student in charge of reception gave an example, Chen Mobai nodded slightly, understanding her meaning.

"Alright, your tutor is... wait... it's actually True Person Lesser Yang..."

After entering Chen Mobai's information, the senior student looked at the Dao Academy's assignments and was surprised.

"There must be some mistake. This master has been in seclusion for ten years."

The senior student refreshed the page again, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, she looked at Chen Mobai with a pitiful gaze.

"May I ask, True Person Lesser Yang, what is the problem?"

"No, it's just that he's been in seclusion for too long. Since you've been assigned to his class, you probably won't see him for about ten years. But don't worry, students at the Dao Academy can freely choose courses that interest them. As long as you earn 10 credits by the end of the semester and don't fail any courses over three years, you won't be expelled from the Dao Academy."

Chen Mobai immediately took the opportunity to ask more questions about which courses in the Dao Academy were easy to earn credits for, and how to get enough credits in the shortest amount of time.

"It's up to you, I can't say much more."

This senior student had a ponytail and wore round-framed glasses; she was quite pretty and avoided talking about Chen Mobai's question.

"Here, this is your Student ID."

At this moment, the senior student on the other side took out a long, rectangular badge that had just been made from Small Engraving Machine on the table.

After Chen Mobai took it, he discovered that it was also a Magic Artifact.

"Keep it safe. It will cost 100 Merit Points to replace it."

After nodding and thanking him gently, Chen Mobai continued walking up the steps with his backpack on, and soon arrived at the freshman dormitory building.

He went inside and, following the information given to him by his senior, found his dormitory.

It's on the third floor, room 303!

Pushing open the door, Chen Mobai discovered that he was actually the first one there.

This is a four-person room.

That won't do.

On the stone platform where freshmen were being greeted, the senior students who had just sat down saw Chen Mobai come down again.

"Hey, you put your things away so quickly?"

"So, does the school have any single rooms?"

Chen Mobai shook his head, then asked a question that left the two of them looking at each other in bewilderment.

"There are some better double rooms available. If you want a single room, the only option is the teachers' dormitory, but you definitely won't be able to move in there."

The senior student assumed Chen Mobai came from a wealthy family and wouldn't be used to living in the dorms, so he informed him in advance, shattering his illusions.

"This won't do!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai shook his head again, and then asked a question that neither of them knew how to answer.

Are freshmen allowed to rent apartments off-campus?

"Well? There's no rule against renting, but the Spirit Vein outside Chicheng Mountain are definitely not as good as those inside the school. Are you sure you want to rent a house off-campus?"

He has too many secrets, and Chen Mobai has just joined the Divine Wood Sect in the Sky River Realm. During this period, he will need to frequently travel between the two realms, so he will definitely need to live alone.

But what the senior said Possessing the Dao. Chicheng Mountain is Fifth Tier Spiritual Vein. If you can't enjoy this benefit after leaving the school, then it is indeed putting the cart before the horse.

"Does the school have Cultivation Room?"

However, Chen Mobai quickly realized what was happening.

The Dao Academy certainly wouldn't allow students to cultivate in their dormitories; there would obviously be a dedicated place for cultivation.

"Of course, we have them. From the lowest Second Grade high-quality to the highest Fourth Tier High-grade, they are provided free of charge to students and teachers of the corresponding levels."

"Aren't you providing Fifth Order ones?"

"A professor of real-life caliber needs to submit an application, and the dean needs to sign off on it before Fifth Order Spirit Land can be used."

After the senior student finished speaking, she realized that she had said a bit too much. These things were too early for freshmen to know, and there was no need for them to know them at all.

"If you really want to live off-campus, it's best to tell your advisor and report it to them."

"But my advisor is in seclusion, and I don't have his contact information."

Chen Mobai shrugged helplessly. The senior students exchanged a glance and agreed.

"Then I'll be going now."

Finally, Chen Mobai carried his schoolbag and went down the mountain.

He walked in the direction where Meng Huang'er disappeared for more than ten minutes and sure enough, he saw a small town that was built in a very modern way.

After asking a few people, I quickly found a real estate agent.

"Hey buddy, what are your requirements for renting a place?"

"Something quiet, preferably a detached house, with few people around."

"I understand, it's Villa District, but the rent might be a bit expensive."

The real estate agent showed Chen Mobai several houses, but the latter was not satisfied with any of them.

"Do you have any Cave Mansion Villa in the mountains around here? Ideally, there would be one every few hundred meters, but it must be connected to electricity, water, and spiritual energy."

Chen Mobai further refined his requirements.

The agent looked troubled.

"Yes, there are some, but they are mostly rented by the experts who have come to live in seclusion in the Chicheng Mountain Range. The rest are in less desirable locations."

"Take me to see it."

Half an hour later, Chen Mobai was led to a two-story Small Wooden House in a ravine.

"It's nestled against the mountains and beside the water, but the lighting isn't very good."

The agent, looking embarrassed, led Chen Mobai inside for a look. There was still a lot of dust inside, and not much furniture, just wooden beds, wooden tables, and wooden stools; there were no appliances.

Chen Mobai looked up and, standing on the second-floor balcony, discovered a luxuriously decorated Wooden Tower Villa atop the mountain, boasting all the beautiful scenery and views.

"That's the residence of the Big Star Meng Huang'er. She often comes out in the morning to practice her singing. If you live here, you can be woken up by the beautiful voice of this Mortal Lark every day. That's the biggest advantage of this wooden house."

The real estate agent, faced with this dilapidated wooden hut, couldn't think of any other advantages. After cleaning up the dust with Cleaning Spell, all he could do was point to the Hilltop Villa and say that.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai recalled the dream that had flashed through his mind when he first heard Meng Huang'er's singing, and immediately made his decision! "This is the one!"
