The main part of the Mingji Hall is not the floating palace, but the inscription stone erected in the center of the hall.

With the help of the monks on duty in the hall, Chu Shen recorded his spiritual power information on the inscription stone, and gained the right to freely roam the peripheral area of the Langxuan Heavenly Palace without having to show the Langxuan Law Brief from time to time.

Then, returning to the hall, Wanchen brought him to a huge mountain peak.

"This mountain peak is where you will study. It is called the Chongxue Peak, and many academies have been established on it. You can learn whatever you like, or even learn everything."

But there is one thing, the Chongxue Peak will assess what you have learned every year, the more you learn, the more you will be assessed.

If you pass the assessment, you will naturally be fine, and you may even be rewarded.

If you fail the assessment, you will continue to be assessed next year, and if you fail again the following year, you will be permanently expelled from the Langxuan Heavenly Palace."

After the introduction, Chu Shen had a strange sense of déjà vu.

Isn't this just like a university without professional restrictions?

The difference is that the Langxuan Heavenly Palace allows invited students to bring their families, so large areas of houses and empty rooms have been built at the foot of the Chongxue Peak, forming a city over the years.

The scenes of the Peach Blossom Spring that Chu Shen had seen before were mostly settlements formed by the families of students.

He speculated that the Langxuan Heavenly Palace's tolerance for students bringing their families was probably to promote the enthusiasm for learning among the students.

Living in the Langxuan Heavenly Palace is like living in the Peach Blossom Spring, but one cannot become an official disciple of the Langxuan Heavenly Palace. In the end, they must leave with their families and return to the troubled world.

Not only would the departing students find it difficult to accept such a disparity, but their families would probably find it difficult to accept as well.

Then I must do my best to study and strive to obtain the identity of an official disciple of Langxuan Tiangong, right?

What a plan!

Chu Shen looked at the towering Chongxue Peak, excitement flickering in his eyes.

Wangchen introduced him to the various academies on Chongxue Peak, which were truly dazzling, including almost all types of cultivation.

No wonder Langxuan Tiangong is known as a holy land. It has almost everything and is willing to teach many types of cultivation to those who are destined. There are only a few sects that can compare!

"Alright, it's up to you to adapt to life here," Wangchen finished introducing and stretched lazily. "I should take a good rest too. I'm getting old and tend to be lazy."

Chu Shen still didn't know who he was, but it wouldn't hurt to be polite. He respectfully thanked Wangchen for his guidance and introduction along the way.

Then he watched as Wangchen casually took out a gourd, bit open the stopper, and took a sip.

"Refreshing!"

With a wave of his sword, the long sword on his back was unsheathed, and he stepped on the sword, flying away gracefully.

Flying on a sword, at least it requires the cultivation level of a Foundation Building stage cultivator to use such a technique. To be able to wield it freely and gracefully like Wangchen, even a Spirit Gathering stage cultivator would find it difficult. Could it be that he is a Gold Core stage cultivator?

Watching Wangchen gradually disappear while controlling the flying sword, Chu Shen secretly encouraged himself.

Flying on a sword, he can do it too. It's not too far-fetched!

But the first thing he needs to do now is...

He turned around and looked at the city not far away, with a helpless expression on his face.

First, he needed to find a place to stay here.

The Lingxuan Heavenly Palace does not provide accommodation services, but there are no restrictions or measures for land approval. Under the Chongxue Peak, you can build your own house.

This was also the choice of many scholars in the past, known as "building a hut and living in it."

However, as time went on, more and more scholars came, bringing along more and more family members and relatives.

Although many scholars did not meet the requirements to become formal disciples of the Lingxuan Heavenly Palace, they were not "expelled from the school" either. Year after year, they stayed on Chongxue Peak, even branching out and settling down here, and even their descendants worked hard to obtain the status of a formal disciple of the Lingxuan Heavenly Palace.

As a result, slowly, large families established their own villages.

Some populous villages joined together and built marketplaces.

After attracting more people, the marketplaces gradually turned into cities.

The land at the foot of Chongxue Peak was vast, so vast that there were eight such scholar cities, and more villages were scattered around in the form of individual or joint families of scholars.

Chu Shen was now considering whether to build a residence for the Chu family themselves or to rent in those cities or marketplaces.

Villages were not considered because they were mostly exclusive, with one village per surname or a few surnames.

In the end, considering the many women and pregnant women and children in his family, it was not very realistic to establish a "Chu Family Village." It would be better to choose a relatively stable and peaceful city and create their own home.

After all, Wanchen had reminded him that the Lingxuan Heavenly Palace was too vast, and even though most areas were safe, there were inevitably some evil spirits hiding in the dark, or fierce wild beasts and exotic beasts that could harm people. It was still necessary to pay attention to safety as much as possible.

And even if it was just for the rich spiritual environment of Langxuan Heavenly Palace, it was necessary for him to bring his concubines here, to provide them with a safe and peaceful environment, which became the first consideration for their place of residence.

After careful consideration, he chose Chongxueji.

Named "ji," it was actually a city, but it was not privately owned by various families. It was the territory of Langxuan Heavenly Palace, borrowed to accommodate the families of scholars. People couldn't call it a state or a government, so they used the name "ji" to avoid it.

At the same time, this was also a reminder for the various families that their scholar family members were only temporary residents until they officially became disciples of the Heavenly Palace. Once a scholar committed a crime or failed to meet the standards, they would all have to return to the mortal world.

So the scale of Chongxueji was not small, but it couldn't be called exquisite. It was clean, tidy, and had a variety of professions, making life convenient.

After all, there had been a lesson learned in the past.

For example, a relatively large family, because one of their family members was recognized by Langxuan Heavenly Palace and given the opportunity to study, came to Chongxueji and built a family residence.

Unexpectedly, that scholar family member was talented but had a poor character. In a trial, they had evil intentions, killed someone, and tried to steal treasures. They were caught in the act and expelled from Langxuan Heavenly Palace.

All the family members were also driven out of the territory of Langxuan Heavenly Palace, and the family estate that had been invested in and carefully built in Chongxueji was confiscated. It is still the most exquisite house in Chongxueji, serving as a warning to the world.

It's no wonder that many scholar families prefer to live a peaceful life in the countryside and don't come to live in "cities" like Chongxueji.

All of this before his eyes was "floating wealth," and of course, he would enjoy it as comfortably as possible, unless the scholar of his family became an official disciple of Langxuan Heavenly Palace.

But this exquisite house perfectly met Chu Shen's needs, so he decided to rent it or even buy it!
