I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 673 Is it absolutely necessary to go to this university?

After asking a few questions, Ren Feihong felt there was no need to ask anything more.

Looking at his junior brother in front of him, Ren Feihong became more and more satisfied.

Archaeology is primarily responsible for the excavation and protection of various ancient sites, as well as the protection and restoration of ancient books.

The history of the Great Qian world has been interrupted many times, and the history left over from many eras is often intertwined with mythology, resulting in a clear sense of separation.

The Star Lords, however, will confuse reality with dreams throughout the long course of history, making the history they record unreliable.

Archaeologists once came to the absurd conclusion that "the three star deities of the past, present, and future are actually a father, mother, and son who fought each other over whether to eat sweet or savory rice dumplings, or spicy or sweet tofu pudding, ultimately leading to a catastrophe."

Afterwards, this person was torn apart by six horses, and no one has dared to look for the murderer to this day. All that is known is that the murderer left behind the words, "Tofu pudding must be salty."

If the past Star Lord were still alive, things might be alright, but that one, along with the current Star Lord, schemed against the future Star Lord, and thus went into hiding.

For these reasons, archaeology may seem prestigious, but in reality, its annual output is limited and it doesn't attract much investment.

The thought of having a wealthy and talented junior brother join the company next year filled Ren Feihong with joy, and she couldn't wait to bring Chen Yu in immediately.

Finally, she said with satisfaction, "Chen Yu, I feel there are no problems with your information. I'm going to report to Master Qiankun. Here are the relevant obligations and rights of the university. If you have any questions after you've read them, I can help you answer them."

Under Ren Feihong's excited gaze, Chen Yu opened the manual that she handed him, and after reading it for a while, he frowned in great confusion.

Pointing to the first item in the manual, he asked, puzzled, "What is the meaning of the statement 'the university is supreme'?"

"Oh, it means that after entering university, you need to put the university's interests first, think what the university thinks, worry about what the university worries about, and donate money and supplies as much as possible. Moreover, there is a donation ranking list within the university, and those who rank high can get extra points."

"Hiss... What does 'distinguishing between elders and juniors' mean?"

"Well, you should greet your senior brothers and sisters when you see them, and you should be very energetic when you reply. Also, remember to put death before pleasure."

What's the deal with deducting cultivation points for dropping out of school midway?

"Universities can't just train you for nothing. You can't just run away after learning half of it. So it's normal to drop out and lose points."

"Oh."

Chen Yu continued flipping through the pages and found that each item was more bizarre than the last.

What's even more outrageous is the paid content at the end; the charges for half the book made him frown.

It's one thousand mana per textbook and they don't accept cash, fine, but what's with the air depreciation fee?

What's so expensive about a toilet that costs 15 yuan per use?

After thinking it over, Chen Yu asked his senior classmates who had previously passed the exams for admission brochures from several universities. After flipping through them, he found that the more prestigious the university, the higher the price.

For an average university, a few hundred thousand might be enough.

However, because the Xuanfa Sect has such a prestigious reputation and is located in the Upper Realm, the various expenses have increased significantly, probably amounting to two or three million.

And this is just the base amount; there's no upper limit to what you can spend. As long as you want to spend money, there's absolutely no limit.

He thought the absurdity had ended, but when Ren Feihong handed him the second notebook, he was still a little taken aback.

The notebook has no cover; hundreds of pages are filled with thoughts and insights in different colors.

After handing over the notes, Ren Feihong said in a low voice, "Chen Yu, I know you're not short of money, but some things can't be solved with money. Here is the Xuanfa Sect Survival Manual that my fellow disciples compiled before. After studying it thoroughly, you can avoid half of the detours and eliminate half of the dead ends."

"What about the remaining detours and dead ends?"

"Then there's no other way but to tough it out." "Isn't this the demonic path?!"

"Look at what you're saying. How can the demonic path be as efficient as university? To be honest, if I had a choice, I wouldn't want to either."

Looking at the notes handed to him, Chen Yu felt that university was like a hellhole.

And thinking about it carefully, is it really necessary to go to this university?

Recalling Teacher Zhao's dream, Chen Yu had thought that Yudu University was an exception, but now it seemed to be common knowledge.

Moreover, I went to university hoping to obtain the seeds of Taoist teachings, achieve foundational cultivation, and then continue my spiritual practice.

But I now have three methods for building a foundation.

The seeds of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the seeds of the Earth Virtue Star Lord are within his own Heavenly Demon Body. As long as he is willing, he can activate them at any time and begin cultivation, and then establish his foundation.

At the same time, he also possessed Teacher Zhao's body cultivation foundation-building method, allowing his physical body to oscillate between Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining. Although it couldn't be considered a formal Foundation Establishment, he already possessed the corresponding physical strength.

If you want to learn something, you can go to Fengdu University anytime; it has everything you want to learn.

The only downside is that you can't unlock more subject content and grades, but can't you just get into a smaller university for that?
Thinking about this, Chen Yu suddenly understood.

At my current level, there's really no need for me to take the Xuanfa Sect exam.

I wanted to go to university before because I had no other choice. Now I have a wide network of connections and many brothers. It's already giving you face if I go to university. How dare you make demands?

This is really unreasonable!

Once this idea came to mind, the fourth layer of Dao Heart he had previously condensed, "Transcendence," became completely stable and integrated with the other three layers of Dao Heart, making him realize that his choice was the one that best suited his heart.

After thinking it through, Chen Yu said to Ren Feihong, "I do have a problem. How do I transfer my student registration out?"

"That's simple, just... Why are you asking this!"

To calm the panicked Ren Feihong down, Chen Yu explained, "It's nothing. I just thought about it and realized that I don't necessarily need to go to the Xuanfa Sect."

Ren Feihong immediately became anxious.

"The Xuanfa Sect is excellent! It's ranked number one among the seventy-two top universities! Many important figures have graduated from there, and you'll have a lot of connections once you join! Chen Yu, if there's anything you don't like, I'll help you apply!"

Ren Feihong got closer and closer as she spoke, her panting breath making her seem like a strange aunt who had just seen a cute little boy, causing Chen Yu to involuntarily take two steps back.

"No need. I just feel that my nature is incompatible with the Xuanfa Sect. Let's part ways amicably at this time."

"I think it fits perfectly. Which part don't you like? I'll help you change it!"

"Anyway, I don't like many of them, so let's leave it at that."

Ren Feihong looked at Chen Yu, speechless for a long time.

Some people are like gems; they are gems no matter where they are placed, regardless of the container they are in.

Chen Yu will not regret not going to Xuanfa University, but Xuanfa University will be filled with regret for losing Chen Yu.

Although she felt that Chen Yu had already made his decision, Ren Feihong still said unwillingly, "Chen Yu, there are still six months left. Give me a chance, and I will definitely be able to persuade you."

"Unless Xuanfa University comes to us themselves, forget it. Tell me how to get my student status removed first."

"...Alright, the simplest way to expel someone from school is to tarnish their reputation."
