Chu Xin had never expected his first mountain-climbing experience in this world to be here. Panting, he sat on a rock by the trail and took a sip of bottled water from a roadside shop. After screwing the cap back on, he looked up the mountain in despair. When was this ever going to end?!
Chu Xin withdrew his gaze and glared viciously at the water bottle in his hand. These vendors were downright greedy. Water that cost one yuan elsewhere actually cost five here! Sure, he could afford the difference, but being ripped off still felt awful!
Fortunately, Chu Xin was far from the only person on Mount Wutai. The entire mountain was packed with people. He had to admit that Wudang Mountain was famous as a tourist attraction. He had never expected a mountain that housed a Dojo to double as a sightseeing destination. These mountain Taoists really knew how to run things!
After resting for a while, Chu Xin started climbing again, grumbling as he struggled up the mountain. These Taoists were such cheapskates. Why couldn't they install a cable car? Wouldn't that make everything so much easier?!
Finally, another hour later, Chu Xin reached his destination, the Taoist Courtyard on Wudang Mountain. He had never expected the Wudang Mountain Dojo's reception area to also shoulder the burden of serving tourists. Holding his Access Pass, he could only follow the huge tour group. After another hour of waiting, he finally managed to meet one of the mountain's Taoists.
When he spotted the nearest Taoist, Chu Xin grabbed his robe.
"Hello, visitor. How may I help you?"
Panting, Chu Xin held up his Access Pass.
"I... I'm here to study at the Wudang Gym."
"Oh, so you've come to study at the Wudang Gym. This way, please."
