I want to go back to my original world and live an ordinary life.

In addition to these, the instructor also told them about some of the reward measures in the academy. First, Class A and Class B students can receive fixed cultivation resources every month, including gold coins and elixirs. Secondly, the academy has a small competition every quarter and a large competition every year. Each level competes separately. The top five in the competition can get corresponding rewards. The higher the level of the students, the better the rewards they get. Secondly, the national academy will also hold competitions every year. If you get good results in the national competition, you can not only get the rewards in the competition, but the academy will also give you some extra rewards. Of course, this kind of reward can only be obtained by Class A students. Class D students like Qiu Yan don’t even need to think about it. They don’t have the opportunity to participate at all. In addition to the rewards and benefits of these competitions, the academy can also take some tasks to get some rewards. These rewards are generally gold coins. The number of gold coins is related to the difficulty of the task. The more difficult the task, the higher the gold coins. Students can choose tasks that suit them according to their own cultivation.

Food and accommodation in the academy are free, but they vary according to different levels. In short, the higher the level, the better the food and accommodation. This is the core management method of this academy. However, there is one thing that is the same for all students, that is, no matter what level of students, they can freely choose a side job to study. These side jobs include alchemy, refining, array formation, drawing talismans, and treatment. These side jobs are actually very similar and can become the main job after learning well, but the Royal Academy only regards these as side jobs. After all, the Royal Academy is not a special academy of this kind. Its main purpose is to cultivate strong people for the Holy Sword Kingdom. As for these alchemy and refining, there are also special academies in the Holy Spirit Kingdom, so they are just a hobby for students to learn and understand.

These so-called side jobs are free to choose. Everyone can choose them, but they can also choose not to. But most practitioners will choose them. After all, who doesn't want to think about more things? Especially for Class D students, because there is no fixed instructor to teach, they have a lot of time, so Class D students basically choose a side job to enrich themselves. Among them, alchemy and refining are the most popular side jobs, because if you learn these two side jobs well, they will be very popular. After all, whether it is refining or alchemy, it is an indispensable profession for practitioners. However, although these two side jobs are good, there are very few people who can learn them, so it is not so easy. In addition to these two places, treatment and drawing talismans are also quite lively, and these two side jobs are easy to get started, but if you want to achieve great success, it is very difficult, so the number of people who choose these two is slightly less than the first two.

As for setting up formations, this side job is rather embarrassing. It's not a question of whether many or few people learn it, but that no one learns it at all. The reason is very sad. Drawing formations is difficult in itself, and to activate formations one must have elixirs or some rare treasures. Generally speaking, a formation must use at least three elixirs or rare treasures.

Moreover, the formation is a consumable item. It does not mean that you can use it for a lifetime if you take out three elixirs or natural treasures. Those things are disposable. When the formation uses up the spiritual power contained in the elixirs or natural treasures, the formation will become invalid. In addition, the power of the formation is related to the level of these elixirs or natural treasures. If you can't take out good things, the formation will be useless even if it is activated. Therefore, under such conditions, let alone ordinary practitioners, even the royal family will not choose to learn this side job, because it is completely meaningless. Imagine that you have learned how to draw a formation, but you can't take out something to activate the formation, or the grade of the thing you take out is too low and can't exert any power. Then why do you learn it? Just for fun? In that case, wouldn't it be better to find a painter to learn directly? Therefore, almost no one learns this side job of setting up formations, or even if someone signs up to learn this side job without knowing the situation, they will choose to give up after knowing this, so up to now, there is no student learning this side job of setting up formations.

That was roughly what the instructors said at the academy's assembly. Then the assembly for freshmen ended. After the assembly, the instructors took the other three levels of students away, either grouped or directly assigned them to training. Only the D-level students didn't know what to do. They stood in the square, looking at each other, like unwanted children. They looked pitiful. At this moment, a strong voice came from the platform, shouting, "All D-level students, assemble!"

Hearing this voice, the students who originally didn't know what to do were like lost children who saw their mothers. They immediately found their direction and quickly lined up. Qiu Yan was no exception and quickly lined up. After all the D-level students were standing, the instructor who was wearing an instructor's uniform and looked a bit fierce said to all the D-level students, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Shen Qiang! I am the chief instructor of your D-level. From now on, you can just call me Instructor Shen. This instructor is responsible for managing you, but not for teaching you. So don't ask this instructor to ask you any questions about cultivation. This instructor won't answer you. Secondly, your instructor usually doesn't have that much time to take care of you, so you have to take care of yourself. Not only do you have to clean the college on time every day, but you also have to remember not to violate the college rules, otherwise this instructor will not forgive you! And in order to prevent you from causing trouble for this instructor, this instructor requires each of you to participate in a side job study. Don't do nothing all day. Do you understand!"

"I understand!" After Instructor Shen asked, everyone responded in unison. Instructor Shen was very satisfied after listening. He nodded and then continued, "Since you understand, let's disband! While the other three groups still have classes, you can go and sign up for the side jobs you have chosen!" After that, Instructor Shen turned and left without saying anything else.

After Instructor Shen left, the people in Class D began to discuss which side job to learn, and Qiu Yan was also considering this issue. Qiu Yan was not interested in any of these side jobs, as long as he could be more relaxed, after all, his focus was still on cultivation. So after thinking about it, Qiu Yan felt that setting up formations should be quite suitable for him. After all, if there was no one around, he would definitely be more relaxed, so Qiu Yan was ready to choose setting up formations as his side job. Just as Qiu Yan was thinking about this, an arm suddenly rested on Qiu Yan's shoulder, and then said to Qiu Yan, "Your brother is great! You have slept on the princess's bed. You are so fast that I can't help but accept it! But then again, your woman is still a bit tricky. She cured you all in one night. I was worried that you couldn't come today, but now it seems that I was worrying for nothing!" The person who spoke was Bai Xiaoer. Because Qiu Yan came late, Qiu Yan did not stand with Bai Xiaoer at first, and the two had no contact before. Now that their Class D students have been disbanded, Bai Xiaoer came to find Qiu Yan.

Hearing Bai Xiaoer's words, Qiu Yan glanced at Bai Xiaoer. Although he could tell that Bai Xiaoer was making fun of him, Qiu Yan knew that Bai Xiaoer was really worried about him, so he didn't care about the other meanings in Bai Xiaoer's words. He smiled and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Bai!" After saying that, Qiu Yan looked behind Bai Xiaoer and saw a tattooed man standing behind him. This tattooed man was the one who treated Qiu Yan yesterday. Although his treatment didn't help Qiu Yan much, Qiu Yan was still very grateful for his kindness, so he looked at the tattooed man and said, "I also want to thank this brother for helping me with the treatment yesterday."

Hearing Qiu Yan say this, the tattooed man smiled embarrassedly, then bowed to Qiu Yan and said, "Brother Wang Ling, you are too polite. I am not well-trained and did not help you much yesterday. Your injuries were all treated by that girl. I dare not take credit for it. If you want to thank someone, please thank that girl!" The tattooed man did not know Mu Qingxue's name, he only knew that it was she who treated Qiu Yan's injuries.

After listening to the tattooed man, Qiu Yan also smiled. Although Qiu Yan's injury was healed by himself, in the eyes of outsiders, the person who healed him was Mu Qingxue. Qiu Yan had no reason to defend this point. On the contrary, such words would make people feel more reasonable. So after hearing the tattooed man's words, Qiu Yan smiled and nodded, and then said, "Well! I will thank her!"

After Qiu Yan finished speaking, Bai Xiaoer hugged the tattooed man again and said, "We all live in the same courtyard, so it's only natural for us to help each other. What's there to thank each other for?" After speaking, Bai Xiaoer hugged Qiu Yan and the tattooed man tighter, and then asked in a negotiating tone, "Come on! Tell me what side job you want to learn. Do you want to learn to draw talismans with me?"

After listening to Bai Xiaoer's words, the tattooed man was the first to shake his head and said, "Brother Bai, I am more interested in healing, so I want to learn healing."

After the tattooed man finished speaking, Bai Xiaoer looked up and thought for a moment. He felt that the tattooed man already had the foundation for healing, so it was reasonable for him to choose to learn healing. So he nodded and said, "Well! This is quite suitable for you!" After speaking, Bai Xiaoer looked at Qiu Yan again, and then asked, "Then your brother, do you want to learn to draw talismans with me?"

Qiu Yan wanted to practice in a quiet environment, so he definitely wouldn't choose to study with a chatterbox like Bai Xiaoer, so he shook his head and said to Bai Xiaoer, "Brother Bai, I'm quite interested in formations, so I plan to learn how to set up formations!"
