When Chujian was twelve, he received his admission notice.
It was a starry, silent, late-night hour, with a bright moon, scattered stars, and a dark, windy sky. A crane bearing the notice gently tapped at his family's front door with its long beak.
Chujian's dad: Gently, my foot! It pecked a hole in the door! It nearly scared me into qi deviation in the middle of the night!
Chujian remembered every word of the notice clearly: Dear Chujian, our assessment has confirmed that you possess an innate wood spiritual root. Congratulations on your admission to Qingxiang Cultivation University. The first day of term is September 1, four years from now. Please bring your admission notice and required belongings and report to the registration office at Qingxiang Cultivation University on time. You can view the list of required items and directions on a jade slip,
...or visit our school website (website link: ) for details.
Chujian!!!
This scene feels so familiar!!!
I know this one!!! So, somewhere in the faraway West, is there a group of people riding brooms, holding little sticks, wearing hats, and chanting spells?!!!
Four years later, Chujian carried the school supplies his family had spent nearly all their savings to buy:
Qi Refining: The First Step from Mortal to Cultivator (Edition 10089)
Three Years of Qi Refining, Thirty Years of Spells: A Complete Guide to Qi Refining Techniques (Edition 13556)
Cultivation History: Five Million Years of the Wuling Realm (Edition 5)
A Complete Guide to Medicinal Herbs (Edition 9870)
With tears in their eyes, his parents saw him off, their expressions full of joy and relief, but not a trace of reluctance. Chujian pulled a small suitcase packed with all the supplies onto the special "flying car" bound for Qingxiang Cultivation University.
It was this era's signature form of transportation: a train that flew through the sky.
Theme: Study hard and ascend to immortality every day
