Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

The classroom for the morning classes is located on the southwest side of the school, which is very close to the dormitory; it only takes a short walk to get there.

Because they were new students, the teachers didn't teach any cultivation-related lessons. Instead, they talked about some basic cultivation concepts and some random 'truths'.

Guan Xun was almost asleep listening to this. She was speechless and stared blankly out the window.

"Next, we will talk about the main cultivation room."

Guan Xun's dazed gaze snapped back to reality, and she turned to look at the teacher on the stage, who was gesturing wildly and speaking with great enthusiasm.

Yesterday, Bona Tian sent over 10,000 gold coins and a selected spiritual weapon. She just randomly picked one that looked pleasing to the eye—a long, thin whip. She couldn't use it, so she could only leave it lying in that realm.

She was quite interested in matters concerning the training room, since she had won the rookie championship and could directly enter the training room; yesterday, Bona Tian had even given her a high-level training room pass token.

"The cultivation rooms are mainly divided into three levels: high, medium, and low. The concentration of spiritual energy contained in each level is different. In order to prevent students from being unable to circulate the spiritual energy into their bodies and causing them to suffer from qi deviation, the rooms are divided according to the corresponding levels. There have been cases of this happening before. These things are all circulating in the academy. You will know if you look into it a little. The low-level cultivation room can be said to be a public cultivation room. No matter what level or talent you are, you can go in to cultivate."

"The intermediate training room has a level limit. Only spirit masters of level 3 or above can enter to cultivate. Generally speaking, those of you who have not yet reached the level requirement can enter after cultivating in the academy for one or two months and reaching the required level."

"Finally, there's the advanced cultivation room. Only those at level ten or above can enter it. The concentration of spiritual energy there is incomparable to that of the low- or mid-level cultivation rooms..."

The teacher then talked about other things related to cultivation, and time passed quickly.

As soon as get out of class ended, Guan Xun immediately got up and went to the cultivation room.

The location of the cultivation room was farther than Guan Xun had expected. She didn't know how long she walked before she saw several tall towers made of black rock.

When she explored the academy with her divine sense before, she didn't feel how far it was. Now that she's here in person, she can feel how far it is.

Unlike the other bluestone ground, the cultivation towers stood in the pitted mud, surrounded by scattered trees.

The tower gates were wide open, and many students were coming and going, all wearing the same uniform. Guan Xun knew that these were school uniforms, but they hadn't been issued to the new students yet.

Her white dress stood out among the blue-clad figures, and everyone could immediately tell that she was a freshman.

The freshmen should have finished their classes and gone back to their dorms by now, right? Why are they in the training room? The upperclassmen all turned to look at them.

Guan Xun ignored the gazes of others and walked straight into a cultivation tower.

The space inside the tower was even more spacious than what she could see from the outside, and it contained many small secret rooms.

"Is this the low-level cultivation room?" Guan Xun murmured. The spiritual energy inside the tower was indeed denser than outside. She frowned and turned her head to look to the right. There was a staircase there that led directly to the second floor. Presumably, the intermediate level was above that.

She is qualified to enter the advanced training room, so she certainly won't waste time in a place like this. Bona Tian said that as long as her body can withstand it, she can enter the advanced training room to cultivate anytime, anywhere.

Thinking it over, she walked up without hesitation.

The aura in the intermediate-level training room was even denser than that in the low-level training room. Guan Xun glanced at it indifferently and then headed directly up the stairs.

To Guan Xun's surprise, there was an old man in gray robes guarding the entrance to the advanced cultivation level.

"Are you a freshman?" The old man spoke with great authority, looking her up and down before frowning and saying, "This is an advanced training room. Freshmen are better off training in lower levels. It's not appropriate to come to the higher levels so rashly and impatiently."

He paused, as if he had thought of something, and then said, "Perhaps you are the winner among the new students?"

Guan Xun nodded, then took out the access token for the advanced cultivation room from his storage ring and handed it to the old man.

The old man didn't take it, but glanced at it casually and said, "Come in."

Just as Guan Xun had taken a few steps, the old man behind him spoke again: "If your body cannot withstand the impact of spiritual energy, you can press the red button in the cultivation room, and I will bring you out."

"Thank you." Guan Xun was taken aback, but then thanked him.

The advanced cultivation level isn't as large as the two levels below, and there are only a dozen or so cultivation rooms. Everyone says the spiritual energy here is abundant...?

Guan Xun shook her head helplessly. The spiritual energy here might be richer than the two levels below, but it was still not enough for her.

She couldn't help but recall the high wall she had explored with her divine sense before. The spiritual energy there was incredibly dense. Her divine sense had only vaguely reached that place, and she didn't know the specific route or what kind of place it was.

She definitely wouldn't use her divine sense to probe again right now; it would be troublesome if she were discovered. There's a very powerful person guarding that place, and since she was discovered last time, they might already be looking for her.

Besides the cultivation room, there were many other people sitting cross-legged on the open ground absorbing spiritual energy and cultivating. They were all taken aback when they saw Guan Xun.

"newborn?"

"Yes, judging from her clothes, she looks like a freshman."

"I heard the winner was a girl, but I didn't expect her to be so delicate and pretty. I thought..."

"Have you forgotten Senior Jian Rou? She looks just as delicate, and she was also a freshman winner."

"Yeah, hehe, girls these days are so amazing."

"By the way, hasn't Senior Jian Rou arrived yet today?"

……

Guan Xun's ears twitched. The men and women were speaking very softly, but she still heard every single word.

She walked over and said with a sweet smile, "Are you senior students? I just arrived today and didn't know you were in the training room...?"

"Ah..." A man was startled when he saw Guan Xun walking over, thinking that his whispered conversation had been overheard. Hearing her question, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just choose an empty training room, go inside, and put five gold coins directly into a small slot inside. The training room will start automatically and continue for half an hour."

Guan Xun was taken aback when she heard this. She had to pay gold coins to cultivate?! She turned her head and glanced at the people sitting cross-legged on the open ground, and finally understood why they were all cultivating outside.

Five gold coins for half an hour is indeed something that most people cannot endure.

But isn't the spiritual energy outside different from the spiritual energy inside the cultivation room?
