There is also spring for passers-by

Wen Wan became more and more curious. Who invented this?

She booked a first-class seat. It actually took six and a half hours to get from Wuque City to Xiaoyao City. She could learn a lot by using the lotus platform for cultivation. She planned to practice calligraphy and painting on the way, as it would be easy to regress if she didn't practice for a long time.

She was now a nine-year-old child, and because she was dressed in ordinary clothes, no one would rob a child. Her appearance had changed, and no one would recognize her as the Wuque and Mowang of the past. Even if she appeared in front of old friends, they would not dare to recognize her.

Over time, her calligraphy improved slightly, developing a sense of character, a softness with strength, a fierceness with gentleness. As long as one is not afraid of difficulties and keeps moving forward, there will always be progress. The biggest improvement was in her painting. In modern times, she was a science student and had no access to art, but she knew techniques such as sketching and meticulous painting. While Confucianism had meticulous painting, it lacked Western painting styles like sketching and watercolor.

After practicing calligraphy and painting, she took out talisman paper, talisman ink, and talisman brush and drew a space talisman. With a space talisman, she could save the storage bag. The talisman that was taken away by the school teacher before was the mother talisman, and this time she drew a child talisman. The mother talisman was a three-story demon tower, and the child talisman was a first-story demon-suppressing hall. The next one she drew would also be a child talisman...

Until ten were drawn, each of them was a sub-talisman, and they were all demon-suppressing palaces. When the eleventh one was drawn, it became a ghost-suppressing house. The area was still the same size, and there was a plaque in the house in the space talisman, which read "Ghost-suppressing House".

After drawing three space talismans to suppress the haunted house, a bell rang outside. Someone announced, "We'll arrive at Xiaoyao City in a quarter of an hour. Fellow Daoists who are about to disembark, please be prepared! The boat will be bumpy when it lands. Fellow Daoists standing, please hold on to the handrails. Fellow Daoists sitting, please fasten your seatbelts."

Wen Wan put away the lotus platform for cultivation. She was now full of curiosity. "Seat belt" is a modern term, and modern station announcements definitely did not exist before. There was a powerful person in Xiaoyao City who traveled through time.

She stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside, getting closer and closer to Xiaoyao City. She was much more familiar with Xiaoyao City than with Shenbing City. It was true that she had only visited Shenbing City countless times, but had visited Xiaoyao City many times.

Wen Wan followed the crowd off the fairy boat and paid an entrance fee of two spirit stones when entering the city gate.

"Welcome to Xiaoyao City! Do you need a guide?"

A group of young boys, girls and half-grown children gathered around and shouted non-stop.

"Become a one-day guide, with attentive service, and only two low-grade spirit stones per day."

Wen Wan saw that everyone ignored her. Was she being ignored just because she looked like a child? That couldn't be right. "I need a guide!"

After she shouted, some people gathered around. The one who asked her was a half-grown child, with a bone age of 24 years old, but looked like he was 12 years old.

When Wen Wan looked closely, she found that the other party was actually at the Nascent Soul stage. Xiaoyao City was so excited that a 24-year-old Nascent Soul still had the appearance of a 12-year-old.

She looked at him in surprise, and he also looked at her in astonishment: "You...you..." He grabbed Wen Wan's hand and said, "Which family are you from? I'm from the Jinpeng clan."

Wen Wan suddenly had an idea. She reached into her clothes and pulled out a disguise talisman. "Are you talking about this?"

In fact, it was taken out from the Nahebei that had been shamed. She was really smart. Fortunately, she had prepared it early in the morning. She actually put a new talisman on herself and said, "You are quite brave for a nine-year-old foundation-building cultivator."

Wen Wan put the disguise talisman back on and turned back into her eighteen-year-old skeletal age. "I need a guide and I need to rent a cave, preferably one close to the Tianshi Hall!"

She raised her voice and shouted, and then a young girl came over, "Little fairy, do you want to rent a cave?"

She nodded repeatedly, "The one next to the Tianshi Hall. I heard it's the safest place."

"Xiaoyao City is very safe. There will be no demonic or evil cultivators here."

But the human heart is the hardest to guard against.

The girl said, "Fairy, come with me. I will take you to the External Affairs Hall of the City Lord's Mansion."

*

The External Affairs Hall of the City Lord's Mansion is a large hall with various businesses, including those who come to look for people on commission, independent cultivators who come to take on tasks, cultivators who issue tasks, rental notices, and requests for rent. It is a wide variety of things.

The young guide enthusiastically took her to a special counter and told her that her request was to rent a cave near Tianshi Hall because she felt it was safer. After asking, Wen Wan signed a three-year lease, paid the rent in one lump sum, and got the house card to open the restriction. After recognizing the owner, she could enter the cave.

The cave is said to have been newly built ten years ago. It has a reception room, a practice room and bedroom, a separate bathroom, a refreshment room, and a small courtyard.

The girl said that if it was less than half a day, it would count as half a day, and she paid a low-grade spirit stone as a reward.

After entering the cave, I felt that its interior design was more like a modern boutique suite, with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The design was so exquisite. The tea room was like a kitchen, with a stove, kitchen utensils, etc.

The cave was less than fifty meters away from the Tianshi Hall, making it convenient for her to release her spiritual sense. After observing for a few days, she put on several invisibility talismans and used space magic to enter the Tianshi Hall's internal affairs hall. She took out a blank disciple nameplate from it, and then placed a filled-in information form among the many disciple information files, deliberately inserting it into the eighth grade file.

After returning to the cave, she used a secret technique to inscribe the characters "Hua Yang" on a blank nameplate and then used her spiritual consciousness to acknowledge her master. From then on, she was Hua Yang, a sixth-year disciple of the Tianshi Academy, hailing from Zhenzhu Lane, Haibei County, Qi State. This time, she didn't fabricate her parents' background, simply stating that she was an abandoned baby, picked up and raised for several years by a kind-hearted grandmother. After her grandmother's death, she was driven out by her grandmother's brother's family. She didn't make up any more details, simply saying that she was accidentally swept into the world of immortal cultivation by a tornado.

With so many disciples, as long as she didn't stand out this time and honestly endured the three-year study period, she wouldn't attract attention. In the upper grades, repeating a grade was common. She released her spiritual sense and observed for several days. During the annual assessment, the bottom three students in each grade would be sent to the secular Heavenly Master Academy, while the top students in each year's Heavenly Master Academy of the Phoenix, Azure Dragon, and Kirin dynasties would have the opportunity to study at the Heavenly Master Academy in Xiaoyao City.

Although there were three places, there were occasionally people who tied for first place. Once, there were three people who tied for first place in the Qinglong Dynasty, and the three of them studied at the Tianshi Academy together.

The competition in the Tianshi Academy is very fierce nowadays. If you can't compete and fail the test, you will have to repeat the grade. Go to the lower realm to repeat the grade. The Tianshi Academy in the secluded world does not accept useless disciples.

If Yan Guilai had not graduated early, he would probably have been sent back to the school in the lower world.

Wen Wan gave herself a new name "Huayang". Huaxia was the ancient name of her hometown. After the establishment of the Republic, it was abbreviated as Yangguo. Huaxia and Yangguo together are Huayang. She wanted to remind herself not to forget her hometown.

Tianshi Academy has not yet opened. It is winter vacation now. All the disciples have gone home, are doing internships, or are working. Among the young men serving as guides at the city gate, several are disciples of Tianshi Academy.

When the space upgrade was completed, she went in immediately. The space doubled again, with 72 acres of fairy-level land, 36 acres of spiritual-level land, and 12 acres of mortal-level land.

After reviewing the courses for grades one to six and reviewing the courses for grade seven, the new semester is about to begin.
