Lin Xuan was silent. The other young man was also left speechless. From the looks of it, the principal dissipated into thin air.
“I’m Zhang Minghao. If nothing goes wrong, I will be your form teacher for the next three years.”
“I’m Lin Xuan. Thank you for your care.”
Zhang Minghao looked at the dedication tree in Lin Xuan’s hand and smiled. “Let’s go and plant the tree first.”
Along the way, Zhang Minghao told Lin Xuan many interesting stories about this school. For example, there were many girls planting trees in the dedication forest, and there were also boys planting trees in the learning forest, it was to break bad habits and so on.
“Don’t you have to follow the rules? You can actually plant it anywhere?”
Lin Xuan was a little confused. He thought that this process was sacred and had to be followed through. It was best not to break the original rules.
“If you don’t understand the reason behind it, then it’s naturally best to follow the rules. However, once you understand the reason behind it and understand the reasoning behind it, to a certain extent, you won’t change its essence even doing it differently. Every new student has to plant a tree when they enter the school. Do you know why?”
Lin Xuan frowned. “For… formalities?”
“Heh.” Zhang Minghao sneered. “In the era of ability users, we follow the principle of profit. When there is enough profit in this matter, we will do it. Formalities? Hah!
“The sapling in your hand is called the Enlightenment Sapling. When you plant it, your cultivation path will be connected to it. When you step into the earth level, the Enlightenment Sapling will turn into a heavenly tree and will bestow a supernatural ability for you. When you die, this supernatural ability will return to this forest to protect the school.”
“Additionally, when you plant the Enlightenment Sapling, your fate will be connected with the school. Your true spirit will be protected by Taixia Country. It will not be possessed and enslaved!
“So, do you think it’s important as to which side you plant it on?”
......
Lin Xuan was dumbfounded, ‘Amazing!’
Lin Xuan couldn’t wait any longer. It was better to make a move on such a good thing as soon as possible.
He immediately took the lead and entered the forest. He randomly found an empty space and was about to plant the tree, but Zhang Minghao, who had followed him, stopped him, “What I just told you is the benefits of planting trees. Now, what I want to teach you is how to plant trees.”
“Huh?”
“You may think that it’s simple. Yes, planting trees is very simple, but it’s difficult to plant a good divine ability! Look at the land you chose. There are five trees in the surroundings that conform to the principle of the rotation of the five elements, but if you were to insert them, it would evolve into the pattern of having six elements…”
Initially, when Lin Xuan heard about the five elements rotation, he was a little solemn. However, when he heard that it could turn into six, Lin Xuan was stunned. Could it be that this was related to metaphysics?
After understanding that this was indeed metaphysics, Lin Xuan sighed. He thought that there would be some customs or rules. He did not expect the rules to easily bend.
Life was full of endless possibilities!
After sighing, Lin Xuan placed three sacrificial animals around him and began to plant the sapling in a methodical method.
“No one understands metaphysics better than me! I got this!”
This operation made Zhang Minghao’s scalp go numb. In the past, he had also studied metaphysics, but he did not pay that much attention to it like this. Although he did not know what the meaning of placing those three wild monsters was for, nor did he know the strange steps…
In the end, Lin Xuan threw out a lucky coin and shouted, “Guide the way!”
Just then, a beam of sunlight shone through the gaps in the forest where the lucky coin fell. Under the sunlight, the lucky coin shone with the light of luck!
“This is it. This must be my lucky land!”
Lin Xuan dug with his big hand and dug out a suitable hole for his sapling. He supported the sapling, buried the soil, and counted.
Zhang Minghao had lost. He had lost to a new student in metaphysics!
With Lin Xuan’s guidance, Zhang Minghao regained his confidence. Yes, it was important to have a good beginning, but the most important thing was when the divine ability blooms and bears fruit!
The two of them walked over to the stone tablet, “This stone tablet shows the history of our school. Even if the school’s name faces the outside, only we students know the battles recorded behind the stone tablet. Outsiders don’t need to know how much we have sacrificed to be here. They only need to know how strong we are. We must not let our past seniors down and thrive well here!”
Lin Xuan nodded silently. Then, the two of them walked around the stone tablet and arrived at the square. Zhang Minghao pointed at the four roads on the square.
“Due to some historical reasons, we do not have dormitories. All the students come to class on a day-to-day basis.
“We are not worried about the students from the capital. Their parents will have their own way of sending them here. For students like you who joined from other places, living in a house might pose as a problem. However, we can help you with this. We have found four suitable residential areas to stay in and there are preferential prices.
“This left-most path leads to Jingan residential area. The environment is quiet and serene. It is a good place for meditation!
“This left-middle path leads to Wending residential area. It is adjacent to the Imperial City Public Library. There are humanities, history, cutting-edge technology trends, ancient myths, and martial arts, everything is available.
“The right-middle path leads to Yayuan residential area. Around the residential area are all kinds of unions such as the Ability User Guild, Bounty Hunter Guild, and so on. Moreover, it is close to the city gate. It will be very convenient to go out of the city to do all kinds of missions.
“The path on the far right leads to the Qianjiang District. It is an official welfare room. Most of the people living there are military and police relatives. If you want to join the army after graduation, you can stay here.”
After thinking for a while, Lin Xuan chose the Yayuan residential area. Lin Xuan did not need to cultivate and study to grow. He needed to kill, and plunder bloodlines, talents, and specialties. As for the army, he had never once considered joining.
There were people in charge of housing matters. Soon, a well-lit room, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a balcony with all kinds of appliances and furniture were rented out. It was at the cost of 100,000 per month, and only a million per year!
However, this place was the most suitable for an ability user! It was the closest to the Imperial City and he would be able to complete his missions easier.
