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

However, it was too late!

There's no going back in the world of cultivation either.

In the end, Zhou Ran still couldn't play the game. Bored, he could only watch TV series and chat with people. As a result, when it rains, it pours. By dawn, he had been scammed out of 20 spirit coins.

Duan Xuan was speechless.

My buddy is just too unlucky.

Fortunately, this was just a minor incident on the path of cultivation.

Encountering a scammer online is frustrating, but a mere 20 spirit coins won't cause serious harm.

"Losing money is a way to avoid trouble, brother. Try to think positively."

Duan Xuan patted him on the shoulder.

……

Life goes on.

And cultivating immortality wasn't as arduous as initially imagined.

Before transmigrating, Duan Xuan had read many online novels, including fantasy novels, but they were completely different from what he was experiencing now.

This is not only because Shuiyun Star has a highly advanced technological civilization, but also because its lifestyle is different from that of the fantasy world in novels.

Simply put, although the cultivators here can fly and travel underground, they lead a life similar to that of modern people.

The regulations established by the Immortal Alliance are very comprehensive.

Although the teacher repeatedly emphasized that if students go to other realms to participate in social practice in the future, they must remember the law of the jungle in the cultivation world, be more careful in everything, and never be soft-hearted towards enemies.

However, the teacher also said that this is in other interfaces, but in our home planet Shuiyun Star, everyone doesn't need to have such concerns. As long as you abide by the rules of the Immortal Alliance, you generally won't encounter any crises.

Here, even a Nascent Soul Grandmaster who kills someone without cause will face prosecution. While it may not necessarily cost him his life, he will have to pay compensation, and killing several more could even lead to bankruptcy.

Shuiyunxing has its own rules, but what really opened Duan Xuan's eyes was their university learning experience.

No, to put it more formally, it's academic studies and cultivating immortality.

The teachers who gave the lectures were basically all ancient masters of the Golden Elixir.

Of course, there are also a few who are only in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

However, those were mostly young teachers who stayed on to teach at the university, studying and taking exams while teaching, always ready to pass the exams and pursue a master's degree.

In short, compared to the classical era of cultivation, they now have more scientific, open, and superior conditions for cultivation.

Not only are there highly skilled and experienced teachers guiding students in class, but the textbooks issued by the school are also carefully compiled by experts hired by the Immortal Alliance, and have now reached their 5th edition.

Every cultivation method and every immortal cultivation technique described in it has been refined through countless trials.

The cultivation system has become scientific and theoretical, and even specific to each student, with a cultivation plan tailored to their aptitude and physical condition.

This teaching system, this scientific approach to cultivation, and this quality of teachers—if placed in ancient times, it would be nothing short of a game-changer, resulting in everyone's cultivation speed advancing by leaps and bounds.

The students are very satisfied with this situation and have gradually adapted to their current life.

The only regrettable thing is that even though they have become cultivators and are in university, the teachers still assign homework most of the time.

At first glance, it sounds outrageous.

But upon closer examination, it is actually very scientific and reasonable, and it also conforms to the laws of cultivation.

Unlike the classical era of cultivation, Shui Yunxing now has a more reasonable set of evaluation methods for an outstanding cultivator.

Simply put, it means "wielding a sword to kill enemies, conducting scientific research to explore mysteries, and publishing papers to achieve outstanding results."

The same applies to university curriculum design.

Cultivation is of course of utmost importance, but cultural knowledge also plays a significant role.

In the first year, the main subjects are basic subjects such as Chinese, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and even electrical circuits and mechanical drawing, which are all compulsory courses.

Relatively speaking, there is indeed a heavy workload.

However, there's no need to worry too much, because they are cultivators, and this world is different from Earth. Although there is a lot to learn, the simpler knowledge can be easily mastered through quantum indoctrination.

Only those relatively complex subjects, such as "Advanced Mathematics", "Quantum Physics and the Mysteries of the Universe", and "Chemical Kinetics and Reaction Principles", require students to study the books on their own and make efforts to master them.

Moreover, it's not ridiculously difficult, because after becoming a cultivator, compared to ordinary people, one's memory and logical thinking are clearly on a higher level.

Even if you still can't understand it, there are still ways to solve it, such as using spirit coins to buy intelligence potions or participating in brain development technology certified by the school.

Currently, more mature projects include "Brain Resonance Expansion Technique" and "Neural Network Construction," both of which integrate technology with Taoist practices. The technology is already quite mature and can significantly improve the client's intelligence, making it possible for academic underachievers to instantly become academic superstars.

The only downside is that it's quite expensive.

What should a freshman do if they are too poor to afford it?

That's easy!

The teacher suggested taking out a loan.

What kind of immortality are you going to cultivate if you don't take out a loan?

Of course, each person can only apply for a student loan once, and subsequent loans will not have such favorable interest rates.

"But it doesn't matter. As long as it can increase your learning speed, it's all worth it."

"You'll be able to easily repay this loan amount once your cultivation level is higher."

"However, students should also be careful. You must go to a large platform for loans. Never trust those loan apps from unknown sources that Little GG introduces. Here, I recommend Baiwei Group's 'Zhuji Qihang Loan'."

"As everyone knows, Baiwei Group is a giant enterprise in the cultivation world founded by Baiwei Zhenjun, the principal of our Shuiyun Daoyun Academy."

"The group has a wide range of businesses and strong financial strength. For our new students, we offer various preferential policies and benefits. Our 'Foundation Building Loan' is slightly more expensive than the 'Student Loan' offered by the Immortal Alliance, but it is still very cost-effective and cheap compared to other loans outside the school. The daily interest rate is only 0.05%, and the first loan is interest-free for 30 days, covering the 'Intelligence Potions' and 'Brain Development Projects' for new students who have just entered the school..."

At first, the students didn't quite understand Tang Ya's explanation on the podium. They thought that I should just focus on cultivating immortality and improving my realm and cultivation level. Why did I have to learn so much, even to the point of taking out a loan?

As for?

You might say that people can understand taking out a loan to improve their cultivation level, but it seems very strange to take out a loan just to learn math, physics, or chemistry well.

It's just some basic subjects. As a cultivator, I can't learn them well, so what?

Is it shameful to be a poor student?

What's so great about being a top student if you're a cultivator?

No matter how good you are at math, do you think you can withstand the thunderous strike of my flying sword?
