There are robots in the interstellar world, so you don't have to clean up and maintain hygiene yourself. However, the world of cultivation also has its own conveniences. Not to mention that there are dust-proof restrictions, a simple dust removal talisman can solve the problem. The corresponding thing to robots is puppets. Gu Yao is still very interested in puppets, but it's a pity that he can't get in touch with them now.
The only thing that is lacking, Gu Yao thinks, may be entertainment. The star network that spreads all over the interstellar world is another virtual world compared to the real world, which is still very praiseworthy.
After cleaning up, the four of them went out together to walk around and get familiar with the environment here. What is written on paper and heard by the ears is not as real as what you see with your own eyes.
"Several junior brothers, do you need a guide?" As soon as the four of them stepped out of Area C, they saw someone walking over
and asked with a smile.
The four of them looked at each other. Needless to say, this was one of the ways for students in the academy to earn spirit stones. It was obvious that it was not free.
Now, whenever they saw a senior brother or sister coming over to talk with a smile, they would be highly alert.
Tian Feirong coughed lightly and walked out. He had said that he and the fat man would be responsible for the affairs outside, and he could not break his promise. Gu Yao and Chi Changye's strengths were in refining pills and making talismans. Oh, no, Chi Changye's real strengths were actually in fighting, and he could kill monsters of the same level in seconds. In this way, with Chi Changye's escort, the Qiuqu Mountains were not out of reach.
Tian Feirong chatted with the senior brother for a while, and the little fat boy followed him to eavesdrop. After a while, the three of them came back. The two sides had already reached a condition. The other party agreed to take the four of them to tour the outer courtyard of the academy. The inner courtyard required a special token or inner courtyard students to enter.
"My last name is Kong Ze, you can just call me Senior Brother Kong. This is my spiritual bird. I will take you to fly lower, otherwise you will walk on your feet and you won't be able to come back even after dark." Kong Ze blew a whistle, and then a big white bird flapped its wings and flew over, bringing a small whirlwind below.
The bird was big enough, and its back was spacious. Gu Yao was very curious. He Tian Feirong and the fat boy could not wait to climb up. Chi Changye's eyes twitched, and he stood steadily on the bird's back with a light jump. Gu Yao looked up and felt that he was a little stupid.
"Xiao Yao, reach out your hand."
"Okay." Although Chi Changye made him look stupid, Gu Yao still happily stretched out his hand. He was gently pulled by a force and landed beside Chi Changye. Kong Ze smiled when he saw this. After the four of them sat down, he jumped onto the big bird's neck and patted it lightly, and the white bird flew up.
Chi Changye and Xiaopang were fine, but Guyao and Tian Feirong had never experienced this before and were very excited. The white bird did not fly high under Kongze's control, so it was clearer than looking down from a flying magic weapon.
When leaving the residential area, many birds were seen taking off from the ground. It can be seen that many people do business like Kongze, perhaps trying to plunder spiritual stones from new students.
"That building is the Kung Fu Transmission Hall, where they teach martial arts techniques and how to practice. They also teach the basic techniques of alchemy, talismans, and instruments, etc. New students must stay there for two years. Of course, you don't have to go, as long as your cultivation level steadily improves in the past two years and you don't slack off. Otherwise... hehe!"
Kong Ze laughed so hard that Tian Feirong and the fat man trembled. They were in the same boat, and wanting to improve their cultivation level was almost like costing their lives.
"In two years, you will be assigned to different peaks. Dan Peak, Fu Peak, Qi Peak, Wu Peak and Jian Peak are the most popular peaks in our academy. Those with particularly good qualifications will be recruited by these peaks as soon as they enter the academy. Dan Peak is the most popular. If you just make a few pills, there will be a bunch of people vying for them. Of course, it depends on whether you can make them. If you can, your pockets will be full, and you can move into Area A early."
Gu Yao frowned. There are always people who like to call refining pills "making pills". Are they belittling or are they jealous of the alchemists?
Kong Ze chuckled again: "There are also those who fail to make a ball and end up bankrupting themselves, and finally are hired to grow spiritual fields. So you'd better be cautious in choosing Danfeng. This is a serious reminder from me, your senior brother, to you. Don't think you can get rich once you enter."
Who doesn't understand this, Tian Feirong thought to himself, but put on a smile and asked: "Then which mountain are you from, Senior Brother Kong?"
Kong Ze is an old student, which means he has been in the academy for at least ten years. Of course, it is also impossible to rule out that he was absorbed in the middle, so he should have passed the initial two-year period of transmission of skills.
"As for me, I'm from Lingqin Peak. Look, it's right there. It seems that you new students came from that direction. Our Lingqin Peak specializes in training spiritual birds. In fact, Lingqin Peak is also very good. Just renting spiritual birds can make a good income." Kong Ze lobbied.
Thinking of the previous induction gift, Tian Feirong and the little fat man felt that Kong Ze was not kind enough to mention this to them. Fortunately, they didn't get it, otherwise they would be disgusted to death. How come these old students are so bad taste.
"It seems to be good too, but maybe I have a talent for alchemy, haha!" Tian Feirong laughed.
"Every new student thinks so, but there are only a handful of alchemists who are truly wealthy and have no shortage of spirit stones. I wish you good luck, and when you become wealthy, please protect me." Kong Ze also laughed and said,
"Look over there, that's the mission hall. If you want to earn spirit stones and don't know the academy's market conditions, you can go to the mission hall and have a look. There are various missions posted there, and you can go there to post missions in the future."
"Over there is the Spirit Plant Garden, which has large areas of spirit fields, which are specially used to grow spirit herbs."
"The mountain over there is where our academy's collection pavilion is located. The entire mountain belongs to them. I'll let Xiaobai fly closer so you can have a clear look." Although Kong Ze had a bad taste, he still responsibly brought them closer so that they could see clearly, and introduced the rules for entering the collection pavilion.
Even with flying as a means of transportation, it took quite a while to walk around the outer courtyard. Kong Ze also introduced them to some of the old students and some of the more famous organizations in the academy, and finally sent them to the concentrated activity area for students, which can also be called the commercial street of the outer courtyard, with all kinds of shops and many stalls. The owners behind the shops are either students with strong financial resources in the academy or some powerful organizations, such as those gangs.
This place is not far from their residential area, so Kong Ze chose this place as the last stop, and Tian Feirong also paid him 15 spirit stones, which was the result of bargaining.
Kong Ze was very satisfied with receiving the spirit stones. Before leaving, he said: "It's best to prepare a means of transportation, it can be a flying magic weapon, or you can rent a spirit bird. If you want to rent one, come to Lingqin Peak and report my name, and I will give you a discount."
Tian Feirong muttered: "No wonder this Tianfu Academy is so greedy. It's only the first day, and they've been cheated out of so many spirit stones."
"Look over there, that's the shop of the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce!" Gu Yao saw a shop with particularly eye-catching decorations.
As they approached to take a look, the pretty female cultivator at the door immediately said, "Welcome. Today we have new students coming in. Xingyue Chamber of Commerce is offering a 20% discount to all new students. Would you like to
go in and take a look? Xingyue Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in our Tianfu Academy. We have always been honest and trustworthy. We guarantee the quality and quantity of the items we sell."
Gu Yao took a look inside and felt that it was full of spiritual energy. He decided not to go in because he had no spiritual stones in his pocket, so he took Chi Changye's arm and walked to the side. Chi Changye looked at Gu Yao's hand and followed him obediently, with a barely visible arc at the corner of his mouth.
Tian Feirong and the little fat man followed closely and said with a grin, "Brother Zhou said it was nice, 98% off, but it's still 98% off without him, what a profiteer!"
After walking back to Area C, they were stopped at the door again and met the people handing out flyers. They asked every student who came in and out to join the gangs they recommended and promoted the benefits of joining gangs and organizations. The four of them finally got away.
On the way, Kong Ze reminded them that they had to apply for a good organization like the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce. After applying, if the Chamber of Commerce was interested, they would have to check if they were qualified to join. Not everyone could join. The harder it was to join an organization, the higher its status and the greater its power. If you wanted to join a gang that recruited people, you had to pay an entrance fee.
So, they were also looking for opportunities to cheat people out of spirit stones.
After eating some dry food and spiritual fruits prepared before leaving Shifang City, the four of them sat together to discuss their future survival plan.
Tian Feirong suggested: "We can set up a stall first. Gu Yao, your elixirs and Chi Xiong's spiritual talismans are of absolutely good quality and will not be troubled by not being able to sell them. When we have enough spiritual stones, we can rent a small shop or learn from others to hire someone as a clerk. Then we don't have to spend all day in the shop and can do whatever we want.
Whether it's practicing or inquiring about news from all sides, it takes time.
"Gu Yao is an alchemist?" The little fat man looked at Gu Yao in surprise.
"Nonsense, Gu Yao is not an alchemist, how do you think you are going to get the admission fee? Even though Gu Yao has no family to rely on, he lives a happier life than family members like me. Gu Yao and Brother Chi are both capable people!" Tian Feirong boasted to the little fat man with a proud look, and people who didn't know would think he was bragging about himself.
Gu Yao secretly raised his eyebrows. The little fat man was indeed very sensitive to alchemists.
Gu Yao worriedly said: "If we just set up a stall, will someone mess up and damage it? "The academy is not a peaceful place. In the colleges and universities of the Interstellar Alliance, there are all kinds of unspoken rules under the glamorous surface. He doesn't believe that he will not be targeted here.
Tian Feirong touched his chin: "I think we can first promote your reputation as an alchemist by setting up a stall. I heard from Senior Brother Kong that a good alchemist has a high status. Aren't they afraid of offending a future eighth-grade alchemist?"
The little fat man opened his mouth and closed it again, not knowing how to continue. Tian Feirong was too confident. As far as he knew, except for Chi Changye who didn't know the situation, the qualifications of the three of them were very poor, and it would take a long time for them to build a foundation.
