The First Academy in the Cultivation World

The next day, Ling Yan'er got a bag of spiritual herb seeds from the store, gave them to the five girls, and took them to the spiritual fields to plant them.

When the girls first heard about planting spiritual fields, they were indeed a little resistant. After all, they were girls who had never done housework at home, so how could they endure the hardship of farming?

But after seeing Ling Yan'er's spiritual field, she felt that she was underestimated. Such a small spiritual field still needed five of them to take care of it?

Zhao Xiyue immediately spoke up: "Dean Ling, even if you gave us all the spiritual fields here to cultivate, it would still be a bit too little. You only gave us this piece. I know you are taking special care of us, but there is really no need to do this."

Ling Yan'er quickly denied: "You guys haven't grown any before, have you? I haven't either, so I'm giving you one piece to try. I'm not withholding the remaining three pieces."

Ling Yan'er pointed at the wooden plaques in the spiritual field and said, "These all have owners. Once you're familiar with them, I'll definitely let you plant more if there are any."

Zhao Xiyue turned around and looked at the words on the wooden sign. Seeing that they were indeed all names, she gave up on attacking Ling Yan'er and whispered, "That's more like it."

Ling Yan'er saw Zhao Xiyue's movements, blinked, and suddenly asked, "Can you all read?"

Although they didn't understand why, several girls answered yes. Zhao Xiyue said, "In our families, women have all learned the rules and regulations for women. In order to be the mistress of the house, they also need to learn accounting."

Some also read poetry and books in order to be able to add beauty to their wives, after all, they can earn the title of talented women.

Ling Yan'er said, "Since you can all read, that kind of spiritual field is not important. You can become teachers and teach them how to read when the time comes."

The girls looked at each other, and it was Zhao Xiyue who stepped forward and said, "We can go and plant this spiritual herb, but forget about teaching others."

Ling Yan'er consoled him at this point, "It's not that difficult. After all, you should be able to see that our academy is all about teaching cultivation. Teachers also need to cultivate. Basic literacy isn't difficult. Since you can read, you can help share the burden, giving them more time to cultivate."

"How can we teach them?" Liu Jingchu said, "Although we can read, we are all girls. I'm afraid we won't be able to convince everyone if we teach them."

"What's wrong with girls? We already have female teachers here." Ling Yan'er said, "You've seen us on the flying boat. Sister Su is our female teacher. You can teach her literacy and arithmetic. The other subjects will still be taught by them."

"This... what they learn should be different from what we learn, right?" Chen Feiyan hesitated and said, "Don't make things difficult for us. Why not open up two more plots of land for us?"

Seeing that none of them were willing, Ling Yan'er couldn't force them, so she stopped them and said, "Okay, if you change your mind, you can tell me."

These few people agreed and did not refuse.

Ling Yan'er knew nothing about growing spiritual herbs. She just told them to water them by scooping water from the small pond in the classroom, then said the hoe and tools were in the equipment room and left.

Before leaving, I also talked about my farming experience. It's nothing more than digging a hole, burying seeds, filling soil, and watering. As for whether it will germinate, it depends purely on fate.

After giving the instructions, Ling Yan'er went to the Demon-Suppressing Tower, and Ning Wushuang never came out after entering.

After Ling Yan'er finished lunch, Zhao Xiyue and the others also finished their meals and familiarized themselves with the school. Seeing Ling Yan'er, Zhao Xiyue approached and asked, "Dean, is there any place in this academy that we cannot enter?"

I forgot to ask before, but it’s better to ask first about this kind of thing. If there is any answer, they will avoid it.

Otherwise, if something happens in the future, it will be difficult for them to get along with each other.

Ling Yan'er heard this question and waved her hand, "No, you can go anywhere. If you can't enter a place, you can't enter it yourself. All places that can be entered are places that can be entered."

"Thank you, Dean." The few of them left without chatting with Ling Yan'er for long. Since there was no place they couldn't go, they would see if they could enter other buildings.

Just as Ling Yan'er was about to go upstairs, she heard voices coming from the school gate.

When I reached the school gate, I saw five people there. One of them was a man in a white shirt and a square scarf, holding a folding fan and looking at the plaque at the school gate: "Caledonia."

Seeing Ling Yan'er and Dongfang Zichu coming over, he asked, "You saved me from the execution ground?"

Although Ling Yan'er wasn't sure if the execution ground he was referring to was the one she knew, she still replied, "I'm not sure if it counts as saving you, but if you're talking about signing a contract with Caledonia, then it probably counts. I'm the dean of this academy. Since you all came to Caledonia after signing a contract, then follow my instructions. Follow me first."

Ling Yan'er has become proficient in saying the words "college" and "school" to different people. If she is familiar with someone, she still says "school", but if she is not so familiar with someone, she just says "college". She can't explain it every time.

Ling Yan'er led the five people into the classroom and asked them to find a table to sit down. Then she took out a notebook and asked, "Let's start with you. First, introduce yourselves. Why are you here? What are your specialties? What can you do?"

The first person Ling Yan'er pointed at was the man in white clothes, a square scarf, and a folding fan.

The man put away his fan and said, "Alas, my life is unfortunate. I won the top spot in the imperial examination during the autumn boudoir period and wanted to show my ambition. But I didn't expect that because I was too talented and handsome, the princess would take a fancy to me and insisted that I be her consort."

"If I disobey, I will be taken out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded. I don't know how sad my brothers and sisters at home will be."

"It's true that being too good-looking and talented is a dangerous thing."

"Then why don't you obey the princess?" Ling Yan'er couldn't help but say.

She really couldn't stand it. Someone was so narcissistic in front of her. In this academy, except for Zhao Tian, ​​who was a little ordinary, who wasn't more handsome than him?

"No, I have principles," the man said. "The wife I want to marry, if not as beautiful as a fairy, so beautiful that she can make fish sink to the bottom of the water and geese fall to the ground, or so beautiful that she can shame the moon and flowers and overwhelm the whole country, should at least be a pretty lady. The princess is stout and a full head taller than me. I really don't deserve her."

Ling Yan'er looked at the man, who was at most 1.75 meters tall, and understood. After all that talk, the most important thing was that he couldn't accept that the princess was taller than him.

The short man's defense was broken.

"Since you were pushed out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded, why are you still wearing this clothes and the fan?" Ling Yan'er couldn't help asking.

It’s understandable that you didn’t change your clothes, but where did the fan come from?

You can't let him pretend to be elegant while holding a fan when he is about to be beheaded, right?
