Don't try to cultivate immortality; mortals live longer than immortals.

After figuring out what happened, Duan Xuan couldn't help but facepalm: "Brother, I really didn't mean it."

The whole process lasted about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, because reality and illusion have completely different time flows.

When the time is up, the test will naturally be passed.

Don't get me wrong, it's not because Zhou Ran is so amazing, but because anyone can get in smoothly without any problem.

Even if you are extremely vulnerable!

There's no other reason than that the so-called test is actually a reward. So the essence of the fifteen levels is simply going through the process. Although the process is indeed very painful, it will continue regardless of whether you can endure it or not.

In other words, once you enter this illusion, there is no way to exit. Even if you beg for mercy on the ground, no one will listen. You will still have to go through the process step by step.

Essentially, it's similar to being tortured, but fortunately it's virtual, so anyone who enters, even if they're tortured to the point of death, can still successfully pass the level in the end.

Then you'll reap the rewards you deserve!

Moreover, the benefits are substantial.

However, whether the other party will be grateful is another matter.

All I know is that whenever a new student wins a big prize by accident, few people will show off or be happy about it. Instead, they are keen to find out where the principal lives.

So what if he's a Nascent Soul cultivator?

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered.

Even a freshman who has just enrolled in school, after experiencing so much, would still have the courage to smash the principal's window.

……

Thus, although they encountered a minor disturbance as soon as they entered the campus, Duan Xuan and Zhou Ran still managed to complete their registration smoothly.

After handing over their personal belongings, both of them received a welcome package for new students.

However, the Academic Affairs Office was quite lively at this moment.

Duan Xuan was watching the scene of life and death with great interest... Not far away, several students were crying while holding the divine puppets they had brought.

Without exception, all of those magical puppets depict beautiful young women!

"No way! I went through so much trouble to finally get the qualifications to buy this product. Now, my university life, my daily life, and I'll need the baby to take care of me."

"Please, I don't want to be separated from my baby."

……

"Get lost. You're cultivating immortality and you still think about so much. As for your food and daily life, the school provides you with all-metal robots without silicone skin to serve you."

"Household chores are no less impressive than the magical puppets you brought. As for your reasons for being reluctant to part with them, don't think I don't know."

"Cultivating immortality requires single-minded focus. Dual cultivation isn't impossible, but don't think about those things all the time. Your current stage is... studying!"

"Did you hear that? Study!"

"As for the girlfriends you brought, cough..." The old man misspoke and quickly coughed lightly, "No, what I meant was that the school will keep the Divine Machine Mystic Puppet you brought safe. If you want it back, you'll have to wait until you've reached the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Moreover, at that time, we might even be eligible to purchase the new version of the Divine Mechanism Puppet, which is exclusively used by cultivators. The experience in all aspects will far surpass this mortal version of the mundane item."

"Baby, you must wait for me."

"Xiaomei, don't worry, I will definitely come back to save you."

……

Seeing their divine puppets being taken away, the students, who had been crying so movingly, all turned around upon hearing this.

"Teacher, are you serious? After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, is it really possible to purchase a special version of the Divine Mechanism Puppet for cultivators?"

"You mentioned a superior user experience compared to the mortal version of the game. What kind of experience are you referring to? Please elaborate. Paying for VIP access is not out of the question; as a student, I don't need those spirit coins."

……

His rapid change of attitude was truly comical.

After receiving an affirmative answer, the faces of the group simultaneously revealed a strong fighting spirit: "Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely work hard and complete the Foundation Establishment as soon as possible."

Duan Xuan: "..."

Zhou Ran: "..."

The two looked at each other, bewildered.

This is the motivation for cultivating immortality!

"Ah Xuan, I... I also want to reach the Foundation Establishment stage."

However, before he could finish speaking, a cold, mocking voice rang in his ears: "Want to reach Foundation Establishment as soon as possible? In a hurry? Hmph, as expected, you're a good-for-nothing without ideals or ambition."

Duan Xuan was taken aback. He turned around at the sound and saw the beautiful girl who called herself Jiang Yaoguang.

A hint of surprise crossed his face: "Why do you want to reach Foundation Establishment as soon as possible? Is it because you lack ideals and ambition?"

Duan Xuan was filled with doubts. Even if his purpose was not pure, his desire to cultivate quickly, cross the Qi Refining stage, and become a Foundation Establishment cultivator was, from any perspective, a lofty ambition.

How come it comes out of your mouth that I'm being called trash?

"Hmph, who said that the faster you build your foundation, the better?" Jiang Yaoguang's face showed a contemptuous smile, then she shook her head: "Forget it, I don't need to explain these things. They're just common sense. When the freshmen arrive, the counselors will naturally remind you."

"In short, you two have remarkable spiritual roots. Don't be like those good-for-nothings who want to become Foundation Establishment cultivators as soon as possible. It's just too shameful."

This……

Duan Xuan and Zhou Ran were both stunned when they heard what the girl next to them said.

They truly didn't understand cultivation, and it seemed that even the common sense they knew before was wrong.

Zhou Ran nudged Duan Xuan's clothes: "Xuan, this girl seems quite knowledgeable. Could she be from some powerful family? Do you want to marry into their family and curry favor?"

"roll!"

Duan Xuan almost kicked him again. Ever since this guy awakened his silly spiritual root, he talks nonsense and nothing is reliable.

I don't know if it's because it's letting loose for the sake of the spiritual root's effect, or if it's intentional.

"Alright, forget about all that. If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"

Not wanting to cause any unnecessary trouble, Duan Xuan, with the assistance of the intelligent robot, helped them all successfully complete the registration process.

Then, like the other students, the two of them received a newbie gift pack prepared in advance by the school.

Including smart bracelets, bed sheets and quilts, and school uniforms of different styles spanning ancient and modern times, there are actually more than a dozen sets in total.

"Oh, this..."

Looking at the various styles of school uniforms, Duan Xuan looked somewhat bewildered.

Among them are luxurious styles like brocade robes and jade belts, suitable for dressing up as noble young men in ancient times, and school uniforms with a strong futuristic feel, which are said to have just won a major award at the fashion week.

He thought they were all good!

But what's with the night clothes in front of us?

Even more outrageous, there was a beggar's outfit covered in a hundred patches. This... is it a school uniform?

Even more outrageous, among them was a piece of freshly cured animal hide.

When did the attire of primitive people become one of the school uniforms recognized by Shuiyun Daoyun Academy?

Duan Xuan was truly speechless.

The next step is choosing a dormitory.

This is a random assignment, but students have a 50% chance of choosing.

You can choose whether you prefer an ancient cave dwelling or want to experience a highly modern smart dormitory.

Duan Xuan chose the latter.

However, Zhou Ran, being a goofball, was clearly more interested in the ancient cave dwellings.

These are all personal preferences, there's nothing to complain about.

There's only one rule: once the cave dwelling is chosen, it cannot be moved within a year.
