Chapter 64: Enter Openly
The sky above was still that clear sky, and the rising sun was the same one she saw when she went out. But in front of her were boundless blue waves, with water lotuses swaying on the surface. Several high mountains rose from the water, piercing straight into the clouds. Buildings were hidden among the flowers and trees, revealing upturned eaves and corners, which were completely different from the ordinary small mountain she saw on the square of the Pinglan Star Academy. Obviously, this was a blessed land. Lan Zhi wasn't too surprised. After all, as a once top-notch star academy, being located in a blessed land was quite normal. What she found strange was that the star qi contained in the air here was no different from that in the city of Pinglan. This was precisely the most fatal point. For cultivators of the humble sect, the most important factor in choosing a star academy was the star qi. The purer and more abundant the star qi, the more conducive it was to cultivation. Entering a star academy to study required paying tens of thousands of star yuan as tuition every year. Life for cultivators of the humble sect was already not easy. They gritted their teeth and took out so much money naturally hoping for better cultivation conditions. If the most basic star qi couldn't be guaranteed and cultivating in the star academy was no different from cultivating at home, then no matter how good the star academy was or how strong the instructors were, it would be meaningless. Probably only those who couldn't make a living or were unwilling to be so mediocre would come here to take a gamble. No wonder the Pinglan Star Academy had declined to such an extent. Lan Zhi was just about to ask if the spiritual veins of the Pinglan Star Academy had dried up when she heard Chang Lize pointing to a peak ten miles away: "The Wende Hall is there." Then he pointed to another peak: "Let's go to the General Affairs Hall first." Lan Zhi understood: "Go to report first?" Chang Lize nodded: "Yes, let's enter openly." While speaking, he took out a coin from his sleeve and threw it into the sky. The coin enlarged in the air, and then he pulled her and stepped on the coin, urging the coin to fly forward. Lan Zhi looked at the coin under her feet. It was clearly an enlarged version of a real one thousand star yuan coin. But the real star yuan was made of star stones. This one in front of her... She thought for a moment and said, "Is this your weapon?" Chang Lize puffed out his chest with pride: "Yes, isn't it great? Doesn't it fit my identity in the Business Hall very well? Since it can be used as a weapon, a flying instrument, and a hidden weapon, it serves multiple purposes." Lan Zhi pondered for a while. Just as she was about to speak, Chang Lize, perhaps sensing something bad from her expression, immediately said, "If it's not a good word, don't say it. I've already been beaten by my mother for this." Lan Zhi laughed: "I think it's good." Chang Lize immediately seemed to have found a bosom friend: "Sure enough, you understand me. They all say I'm stinking of money. It's really annoying! By the way, what flying instrument do you usually use?" Lan Zhi was stunned when she heard this. This was a good question. Her soul threads didn't seem suitable to be used as a flying instrument. Chang Lize also immediately realized that he had said something wrong after asking - his mother had said that she could no longer cultivate, let alone fly with a flying instrument - he quickly took out a handful of the same coins from his sleeve to make up for it: "Here, these are for you. We'll both stink of money in the future." Lan Zhi didn't take them: "These are your spare weapons, right?" Chang Lize saw that she had a calm expression and didn't mind at all, and his mood relaxed slightly. He smiled and said, "I made hundreds of them. There are plenty." Lan Zhi then took one. Chang Lize didn't dare to talk about weapons with her anymore and instead talked about the situation of the Pinglan Star Academy. He had grown up in the Pinglan Star Academy since childhood and was very familiar with both the people and things in the Pinglan Star Academy. He talked eloquently.
