The attic sits west facing east, with a river flowing in front of it. To the left of the attic is a wooden bridge connecting the avenue, surrounded by various trees. And ten zhang away from the attic, there is another identical attic, Mo Xuan glanced at it, only to see that along this long river, there are rows of similar attics, and it is estimated that there must be at least five hundred.

"There are so many attics, I'm afraid I can't build them in a few decades. Mo Xuan sighed, crossed the wooden bridge, and walked towards the attic.

"Jia Wuxuan?" walked into the attic, looking at the wooden sign hanging on the side edge, Mo Xuan read it curiously, and then suddenly realized. "I guess that's the number plate of this attic. ”

Mo Xuan smiled and pushed the door into the house.

"Excuse me, anyone?" entered the attic, which was quiet and empty. Mo Xuan called twice, and when he saw that no one answered, he didn't ask, and went directly to the north room on the second floor.

The door on the second floor opens to the east, and the north and south houses are connected by a plank road. Walking into the north house, the interior is extremely spacious, about two zhang in length and one zhang in width, which can fully accommodate two people in such a size.

There is a window in the west and north of the north house, and a wooden bed is placed against the wall on the south side, and the bedding on the bed is complete. There is a wooden table by the window on the west side, and three wooden tables are neatly arranged.

"This barren academy is really rich, such a big room, there is only one person, moat!" Mo Xuan sighed, and then climbed onto the bed and rested. The walk all the way made him very tired.

In his sleep, Mo Xuan smelled the faint fragrance of flowers wafting from afar, which was very comfortable.

I don't know how long it took, suddenly there was a sound coming, Mo Xuan opened his sleepy eyes, and felt that the sound came from downstairs, and with the sound of opening the door, the voices of several people also came.

"Hey, I'm finally done, but I've gained a lot today, and I've caught ten scorpions!" A young man's honest voice came, and from the voice, he could feel that this young man was a fat man.

"Yes, you've got a hundred wasted coins. I'm miserable, I only mined fifty pieces of Xuanjing, just enough for food, if I still carry it like this tomorrow, I guess I won't even be able to earn money for food. Another teenager complained.

"Why don't you catch the scorpion tomorrow, in fact, with your current strength, you can catch the scorpion. The fat boy said.

"Forget it, with the strength of my seven veins, how can I have the courage to catch a scorpion, if I don't get it right, my life will be gone, I won't do it. ”

"What's wrong with the Seven Pulses? The Seven Pulses are not strength. I'll go with you tomorrow to try Scorpio, and you'll definitely be able to deal with it. ”

"No, I still continue to pick my Xuanjing, although I am tired, but at least there is no danger to my life. ”

"You two, don't talk around here. With this kung fu, let's think about how to improve your strength, in two months it will be the academy competition, if you two don't pass the test, I don't have the money to help you. At this moment, suddenly a girl's voice came, and Mo Xuan was also very curious, why did there be a girl in this place?

"Ten concubines, you really can't open any pot, when you are so happy, what are you doing mentioning the academy competition. The fat boy complained.

"I mean really, not kidding you. There are only three of us, so we don't have an advantage in numbers, and if we lose again this time, we will really have to leave the academy. The tenth concubine said softly.

Hearing this, the two teenagers did not say a word, and the downstairs was quiet at this moment.

"Okay, after a tiring day, I'm going to rest. You two should also go and clean up, and after sunset, we will go to the Xuan-level Pagoda to cultivate together. There was silence for a while, and the girl's voice came again.

Mo Xuan was also completely sleepless at this time, got up and got out of bed, and walked downstairs.

Dada!

Walking on the floor, Mo Xuan deliberately stepped out of heavy footsteps. The voice came out, and the three people downstairs were instantly alert, and the fat boy shouted: "Who is upstairs?!"

"It's me. Mo Xuan replied.

"Who are you?" the fat boy's voice came again.

Mo Xuan walked down the stairs and reached the first floor, and after seeing the three of them, he smiled and said, "Hello three, I am a freshman who just moved in, and I accidentally fell asleep in the house, it didn't affect you." ”

At this time, Mo Xuan clearly saw the faces of the three people who had just spoken. The combination of these two men and one woman is wearing the uniform uniform of the college, and one of the teenagers is fatter and has short hair and is more energetic. The other teenager was thinner, with gray hair and a shawl. Eyes moved to the right, it was a girl with a ponytail, her face was pale, at this time, her pair of eyes with slender eyelashes were staring at Mo Xuan vigilantly, as if she wanted to see through the latter. The age of these three people is not much different from Mo Xuan, they should be around sixteen years old, and it seems that it should not be long before they enter the academy.

"You're a newcomer, just now we were complaining about the lack of numbers, now it's good, what's missing, hehe, it seems that my luck will be good tomorrow." The fat boy laughed, approached Mo Xuan, first arched his hand, then patted his chest, and said heartily: "My name is Xinglang, you entered the academy two years first, and we will be together in the future, if someone bullies you, just tell me, I will help you settle it." ”

Mo Xuan clenched his fists and smiled, and said, "My name is Xuanying, I am not very familiar with this place when I first enter the academy, and I will trouble Brother Xinglang a lot in the future." ”

"Haha, trivial, trifle. Xinglang smiled happily, and immediately looked at the two partners beside him and said, "Oh yes, I'll introduce you." ”

As he spoke, Xing Lang put his arm around the shoulders of another thin young man and said, "His name is Xiaosan, and he has been in the academy for almost two years, don't look at him thin, his strength is very great, and you two can compete when you have time one day." ”

Mo Xuan clenched his fists and bowed. Xiaosan also smiled back, perhaps because of the living, Xiaosan didn't say anything.

Xing Lang pointed to the girl on the side again and said, "Her name is Concubine Shi, and she has been in the academy for more than a year. Although she was admitted to the hospital late, but in terms of strength, she is very powerful, I can't beat her if I really do it, you must not mess with her in the future, if you..."

As he was talking, the girl suddenly cast a threatening gaze, Xinglang instantly stopped his voice, and said nothing more with a smile on his face.

Mo Xuan saw it and smiled helplessly. These three people are really interesting, but this girl, listening to Xinglang's tone, I'm afraid it's really a bit dangerous, for the sake of safety, try not to provoke in the future.

"Xuanying, since you live here, we will be a group from now on. As the team leader, there are some things I have to remind you of, this is the Barren Academy, and the Barren Academy never raises idlers, if you want to stay here, you have to put in the work you deserve. In addition, since you have joined our group, your strength cannot be too bad, every few days, we will always go to the Xuan-level tower to cultivate, since it is a freshman, this time it will be forgotten, but next time, you must also enter the tower, understand?" said the tenth concubine with a cold face.

"Into the tower, what tower?" Mo Xuan asked, puzzled.

Xing Lang leaned over and hurriedly explained: "It is a place for students to cultivate, and the concentration of source qi in it is much higher than that of the outside world, and the cultivation speed will be much faster." But since the source gas tower is charged by the hour, and the cost is very expensive, even the Xuan Tower, we can only go twice a week, and we can only stay for a maximum of two hours at a time. ”

"I didn't expect that there was such a place in the Barren Academy, it is estimated that the source gas stone should be used in the source gas tower. Mo Xuan thought secretly in his heart, and after hesitating for a moment, he raised his eyes to look at the tenth concubine and said: "This sister, I think you should have misunderstood, I didn't come here to cultivate, and I didn't want to join your group, I just stayed here for a few months, and when the time is up, I will leave, so you don't have to think about me when you cultivate." ”

"What did you say?" The tenth concubine was stunned for a moment, and did not react for a while. Xinglang and Xiaosan on the side also cast curious glances, looking at Mo Xuan as if they were looking at rare animals, they didn't come to the Barren Academy to cultivate and study, so they came here to suffer and suffer, there was something wrong.

Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Mo Xuan was also stunned, and he was secretly thinking in his heart: The Barren Academy is for students to study, and now that they are here, if they don't study and cultivate like them, it will be a little out of place, in case they are curious to come and find out their identity, it will not be good.

Thinking of this, Mo Xuan snorted and said with a smile: "I mean, I just entered the academy, and I'm not very familiar with this place, what if I drag you back in cultivation." So I'm not going to join you, I'll just find a weaker group another day, and I'll join them again. ”

"Oh, so you're worried about that. Xing Lang smiled, put his arm around Mo Xuan's shoulder, and said, "Little Brother Xuanying, the people who live in this western district are not very good in family conditions, and our strength is not too much, so it mainly depends on our own efforts." I think if you have the ability, it's best to go to the Xuan-level Tower once or twice a week, and in less than a month, you can probably improve the strength of the first line. ”

Saying that, Xing Lang was stunned, looked at Mo Xuan, and asked, "Oh yes, how many veins do you have now?"

"Just six veins. Mo Xuan thought about it and said in a lower vein.

Xinglang nodded and said, "I think you should be one or two years younger than me, and at your age, it is normal to have six veins." However, there are a lot of powerful people in this academy, and your six veins are still a little weak, if you want not to be hit, you still have to find a way to work hard to become stronger. ”

"What's the matter? Students are allowed to fight privately in the academy?" Hearing the hidden meaning of Xinglang's words, Mo Xuan asked curiously.

Xinglang smacked his lips, thought for a moment, and said, "How should I say this? ”

Mo Xuan frowned, very puzzled.

"You two better talk to him, since it's a group, I don't want him to hold us back without knowing it. Also, it's coming to the academy conference soon, although there is one more person now, but the issue of strength is still a top priority, you have to work hard, and Xuanying must also figure this matter out. The tenth concubine suddenly interjected, and the tone of conversation did not look like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl at all.

Xing Lang was stunned for a moment, looked at the tenth concubine, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you say it?"

"I'm tired and don't want to talk much today. The tenth concubine glanced at Xinglang, didn't say much, and stepped directly upstairs.

Looking at the back of the tenth concubine, Xinglang's mouth moved, and he swallowed the words that were about to be spoken. Mo Xuan looked at it, and he was also a little puzzled, and when the tenth concubine left, Mo Xuan asked, "Why are you so afraid of her?"

"What are you afraid of her, I'm a good man and don't fight with women. Xinglang retorted, and then sat down on the chair next to Xiaosan. "Sit down and say, what the tenth concubine said also makes sense, since you are a newcomer, it is better to tell you some things in advance. ”

Mo Xuan sat down as he said.

"I want to think about what to tell you. Xinglang's somewhat fat fingers scratched his head, and after a pause, he said, "Let's put it this way." The tenth concubine also said just now that the Barren Academy does not raise idlers, so we, ordinary students living in the West District, have to do some tasks every day to earn some wasted coins to subsidize daily expenses. The Wasted Coin is the internal coin of the Desolate Academy, which can only be used in the Academy, and one Wasted Coin is equal to one Crystal Coin. ”

"There are many kinds of tasks to earn wasteland, at the beginning, you can help open the mine, you can help the academy carry water and chop wood, you can also help the academy build things, these simple tasks are basically hard work, and its remuneration is calculated by the day, a day can have almost fifty wasted coins, although it is not much, but it is still no problem to maintain a basic life. ”

"After you have a little strength, you can go to mine Xuanjing, or you can go to the north to try to capture the scorpion and the six-eyed snake, this task is a bit difficult, it is best to reach the strength of the seven veins before doing it. Xuanjing is fine, but you have to use the source technique to mine, and one Xuanjing can be exchanged for a wasted coin. But you have to be careful when you catch Scorpion and Six-Eyed Snake, because they are both highly poisonous, these two things will be a little more expensive, and it will cost you ten coins to sell to the Academy, if you can catch Scorpio when you can, then you will be able to live a very smooth life here. ”

"After completing the task and earning the wasted coins, the food, clothing, shelter and transportation are removed, and the remaining wasted coins are basically used for the cultivation of the Source Qi Tower. In this academy, there are four levels of source qi towers, which are Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow. The concentration of source gas in the tower is different for each grade. Among them, the Yellow Tower is free for students, of course, its source gas concentration is also the lowest, but it will be much better than the outside world. The cost of each hour of the Xuan-level Pagoda is one hundred Wasted Coins, and with my current ability, after deducting the cost of living, I can only earn four hundred Wasted Coins a week, which means that I can only cultivate in the Xuan-level Pagoda for four hours a week at most. Although it was very expensive, the concentration of source qi in the Xuan-level Pagoda was more than five times higher than that of the Yellow-level Pagoda, and the absorption speed of the source qi was indeed very fast when cultivating in it. ”

"Above the Xuan-level Tower, there is the Prefecture-level Tower. The prefecture-level tower costs 600 desolate coins per hour, but there are conditional requirements to enter the Xuan-level tower, first, you must stay in the academy for one year, and secondly, you must cultivate in the Xuan-level tower for 500 hours. If you can meet these two points at the same time, you can apply for admission to the prefecture-level tower. ”

"And the most powerful is the Heaven-level Tower, which is also the most mysterious one of the Source Qi Towers. It's been almost two years since I came to the academy, and I still don't know where the Heaven-Rank Tower was built. However, I heard from the seniors that the Heaven-level Tower was not actually in the academy, but in the distant desert. And what's even more outrageous is that they say that if they want to enter the Heaven-level Tower, only those who have stepped into the martial arts before the age of sixteen are eligible. ”

Xing Lang said carefully, and when he heard this, Mo Xuan's eyes showed curiosity for the first time.
