Seeing the young man's cold expression, the old man was not surprised. After all, he was the one who looked down on others first, so he smiled and said, "I haven't introduced myself yet. In fact, I am the deacon of the Alchemy Institute. I take care of some trivial matters of the Alchemy Institute. Everyone calls me Deacon Sun."
"Oh, Deacon Sun, is there something you want to talk to me about?" She responded casually, stroking Lao Bai's head with one hand.
"Hehe, it's like this. You are already a student of the Alchemy School of Xingyun Academy. I want to take you to the Alchemy School. And you are the first student admitted to the Alchemy School. Now you can go and choose the cave you want to live in. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Fengjiu glanced at him, paused for a moment, and then said, "Then I'll trouble Deacon Sun."
"It's not a bother, it's not a bother. This is what I should do." He said with a smile, and after a moment's hesitation, he added, "Well, Fengjiu, if I have offended you in any way before, I hope you won't mind."
"No." She said with a smile.
Seeing this, Deacon Sun finally let go of the worry in his heart, and happily took him to choose a cave first.
However, when Fengjiu followed him for nearly an hour and walked towards a more remote place, she couldn't help but ask: "Deacon Sun, isn't this Alchemy Academy in front? Why are we in such a remote place?"
"Haha, you're a new student, but you don't know that our Xingyun Academy covers a very large area, and each academy is located in a different place. Apart from the gatherings of the academies, the recruited disciples rarely see each other on weekdays. The academy gate is not often open, and it is only opened on the big day of enrollment once every three years. Normally, people go through the side doors of each academy."
As he spoke, he pointed to the hill in front of him and said, "As long as we climb over this hill, we will find the Alchemy Academy."
Fengjiu was a little surprised when she heard this. Although the size of Nebula Academy was comparable to that of a main city, she only realized how ridiculously large it was when she walked inside. She also had to climb over the hill ahead, so she quickened her pace.
On the way, Deacon Sun told her that in the entire Nebula Academy, only the students from the Alchemy Academy lived in caves, while the students from other academies lived in courtyards. This was because each cave of the Alchemy Academy students was equipped with an alchemy room, bedroom, bathroom and utility room, and because there was a risk of furnace explosion during alchemy, each cave was set up with formations.
This is something that other academies cannot match. But there are also disadvantages, that is, students in the Alchemy Academy have to do everything by themselves. Each student is assigned to take care of a spiritual field, and the herbs for alchemy must be exchanged by students themselves by earning contribution points.
Under the guidance of Steward Sun, Fengjiu chose a relatively remote but relatively large cave. After entering the cave and taking a look around, she tied Lao Bai outside the cave and followed Steward Sun to see the alchemy academy where the instructor usually taught alchemy.
After getting familiar with the place, she asked with some confusion: "Deacon Sun, we have been to many places, but why don't we see many other students from the Alchemy Academy?" This is too strange. The Alchemy Academy covers a large area, but after going around in a circle, she didn't see many people.
"Hehe, well..."
Deacon Sun smiled awkwardly and said, "Maybe some of them are going on missions to earn contribution points, or some are refining pills in their own caves. This is how the Alchemy Court is. You rarely see people there. You'll know once you live here for a while."
