The First Academy in the Cultivation World

In the afternoon, Chen Yue came with his sister Chen Ling. The two children only brought things in a backpack.

Ling Yan'er didn't ask what they brought, but said, "When you two get up there, tell the two teachers above that you're my new students. Chen Yue, go up there and put your things down and help sell things."

Chen Yue took his sister's hand and said, "Okay, let's go up now."

Then he took out a few copper coins and said, "Tuition, this is all I have now."

Ling Yan'er thought about it and accepted it, saying, "Okay, you guys go up first."

Chen Yue took Chen Ling upstairs to find Ling Ziye. Ling Ziye asked them to put the backpack next to his table and called Dongfang Zichu over and asked him to introduce the things with Dongfang Zichu.

In the afternoon, Ling Yan'er wanted to leave, but people kept coming. Ling Yan'er took the table where only Chen Yue and the other two had registered and boarded the flying boat.

He found Chen Yue, who was still introducing people, and Chen Ling, who was also running, and said, "Are you hungry? Come with me to eat first. They are not hungry."

Dongfang Zichu heard this and said: Don’t you know whether I’m hungry or not after working all day?

The restrictions set by Ling Ziye did not stop Ling Yan'er and the other two. Ling Yan'er directly took Chen Yue to the small cafeteria on the flying boat.

When he reached the door, he saw their little hands again, turned around and took them to the next room: "Let's go wash our hands before eating."

Ling Yan'er turned on the faucet to wash her hands first, and then asked Chen Yue and Chen Ling to wash their hands before taking the two children to the canteen.

Ling Yan'er took a plate and asked Chen Yue to take one as well, and then brought it to the window where the food was served.

"You can pick whatever dishes you want here, including rice. If you don't have enough, come and get more. But you are not allowed to take too much and waste it." Ling Yan'er served herself a plate of shredded pork with fish sauce and a stir-fried cabbage, and took a bowl of rice.

Chen Yue followed Ling Yan'er and only took a bowl of fried cabbage and two bowls of rice, not daring to take other dishes.

Ling Yan'er originally wanted to let them choose a meat dish, but then she thought that the two children might not have eaten meat very often and their stomachs might not be able to handle it.

She asked the two children to follow her and pick up chopsticks. Then she walked to the table and sat down next to each other. She said, "Our cafeteria has food every day. Come and eat when you are hungry. It's free and you don't need to pay extra money."

"Free?" Chen Yue was puzzled.

Ling Yan'er affirmed, "This is a benefit for teachers and students at school. You can eat for free. I'm bringing you here today, the first day. After that, you can come on your own. I won't ask you to eat together every day. It would be embarrassing to come hungry."

Seeing that Ling Yan'er didn't seem to be joking, Chen Yue lowered his head and said, "Okay."

Although he and his sister had always relied on the villagers for support in the village, they ate at one house and then another.

But no other family could say like Ling Yan'er that they could come anytime when they were hungry. The villagers were not rich and no one had any surplus food.

What's more, Ling Yan'er's dishes, even the stir-fried cabbage, are cooked with oil, and the rice is just white rice.

This was the first time Chen Yue had seen this kind of white rice in his life. In their village, even the village chief's family didn't have such good rice to eat.

After dinner, Ling Yan'er waited until the two children had finished eating, then told Chen Yue where to put the plates, and then took them to Lao Wang's room next door.

After telling them how to use the faucet, toilet and bathtub, she told them that they would stay in this room at night. Chen Ling was still young, so Ling Yan'er did not separate the brother and sister and let them sleep in the same room.

The clothes on Ling Yan'er's phone were all hers, and she couldn't give them to the two of them. The ones from Dongfang Zichu were even worse. Even the robes didn't have the sizes for the two children.

Ling Yan'er pondered and walked out of the room, then turned back and said to the two of them, "By the way, I haven't taught you where to wash clothes yet."

He then turned around and told them that they could wash clothes in the basin and hang them on the rod in the toilet.

After all, it was on a flying boat, and there was indeed no separate balcony to dry clothes.

As for Ling Yan'er, she would ask Dongfang Zichu to use his spiritual power to dry the clothes after washing.

After making sure that nothing was left out, Ling Yan'er walked out of the room. As soon as she came out, Chen Yue and Chen Ling followed her out.

"What are you doing out here? Go and have a rest." Ling Yan'er said.

Chen Ling said, "My brother and I will go help Teacher Dongfang."

Ling Yan'er was about to go back to her room when she turned around and said, "Alright, it's still early, let's go help out for a while."

Walking onto the deck, Ling Yan'er remained silent as she saw the number of people there had not decreased at all. She felt that they might have to stay here for more than a day.

There were indeed not many people here at the beginning, but more and more people came in the afternoon. I guess people from the surrounding villages came here.

However, they had taken out a lot of stock from the secret realm, so they could still hold on.

At first, Ling Yan'er thought that there would only be people from this village, and she really didn't expect that someone would notify the surrounding villages.

But this is understandable. People in the surrounding villages are all relatives. When such a good thing happens, they will definitely not inform others at first because they are afraid that they will not be able to buy it. But later, after seeing Dongfang Zichu and Ling Ziye replenish the stocks and knowing that there is no shortage, they will start to inform their relatives after buying the necessities.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire flying boat was packed with people. Ling Yan'er had never seen a flying boat so lively.

Seeing so many people around, Ling Yan'er started to back out. As soon as Chen Yue left, he met someone from the same village who pulled him over and asked, "Chen Yue, how did you get out?"

"I've signed up to study at their academy." Chen Yue said.

The man dragged Chen Yue to a corner away from Ling Yan'er and Dongfang Zichu. "You're so stupid! You don't even know what they teach, and you're going to their academy! What if it's a bandit den? I was wondering why I saw you introducing them to them before, and I thought they wanted you to help. Who knew you would be so stupid?"

Chen Ling defended her brother: "That sister is a good person, she treated us to a meal!"

"You've been bribed by just one meal!" the man said, "You heartless little thing, how many times have you eaten at my house?"

Chen Yue explained: "They are teaching immortal cultivation, they are not bad people. If the students there are hungry, they can go there to eat for free."

"How much is the tuition fee that year?" the man asked.

Chen Yue shook his head: "The teacher didn't say anything. I only gave her 17 copper coins. She told me to help with some work first to pay for the tuition."

"Will she let you study if you haven't paid her tuition?" the man asked, "Aren't you afraid she'll sell you off? How can you be so bold?"

"She's only worth a few bucks if she sells me off." Chen Yue said seriously, "Uncle Jiu, look at this flying boat we're standing on. All the things she brought out are worth more than my sister and me. If she's short of silver, can this table only be sold for ten coins? If we go to town, there are plenty of people who would want this table for one or two ounces of silver."

The person holding Chen Yue's hand let go.

Yes, even if they sold all the people in their village, they probably still couldn't afford this flying boat. They brought relatives and friends from neighboring villages here to buy these tables and beds because they could get a great deal by buying one for ten cents.

However, even if Ling Yan'er and the others really had such an academy, they would not be willing to let their child go there. After all, it was an academy they had never heard of and it sounded very far away. After leaving there, they didn't know how long it would take for their child to return home.

"When you and Lingling go to college, study hard. Don't forget the villagers when you become successful." The man suddenly wiped away his tears.

"No, Uncle Wu, Lingling and I will never forget you." Chen Yue said.

In the end, he still didn't say that only Chen Ling had spiritual roots and she was the only one who could cultivate immortality. Chen Ling might be able to return after completing her studies, but he might never come back in his lifetime.

After all, this is a college that teaches skills, and he may never be able to pay Chen Ling's tuition even if he works for the rest of his life.

"Okay." The man patted Chen Yue's shoulder and said nothing more.

Ling Yan'er squeezed next to Ling Ziye and said, "Looks like we can't leave Chengdu tomorrow."

Ling Ziye nodded helplessly: "The longer we stay, the more people will come here."

Ling Yan'er also knew this and said, "Let's leave here tomorrow morning and go to the next place."

"I'm fine with either." Ling Ziye said.

Ling Yan'er sighed: "When you pay the bill, tell them that we're leaving tomorrow morning, otherwise it won't last forever."

The people in this village notified the neighboring village, and the neighboring village brought their relatives and friends. It didn't matter if she sold all the things here, but it was not safe for them to walk at night with the things.
