C2218 Can't Afford It
"Our Mu Family was originally a big family, but unfortunately, our family has fallen, and only my sister and I rely on each other. We... can't afford the tuition fees of Shengyang Academy. "
Mu Qingshan's face was ashen, and he let out a long sigh. His face was filled with regret.
To the cultivators of Bing Family, going to Shengyang Academy was undoubtedly the best choice.
However, as the five academies were the highest colleges in the entire Great Yu's Heavenly Dynasty, their tuition fees were rather high.
Even if they were lucky enough to enter Shengyang Academy, they would still need at least three million immortal stones per year.
In addition, accommodation, cultivation, and guidance from seniors required a large amount of immortal stones. An ordinary disciple would need to spend at least five million immortal stones a year in Shengyang Academy.
The annual salary of the ordinary soldiers of Great Yu's Heavenly Dynasty was only two hundred thousand immortal stones. To many cultivators, this was no different from an astronomical figure.
For many itinerant cultivators, if they did not have the support of large clans, even if they had immortal stones, they would immediately buy magical treasures and medicine.
Those who could afford to go to Shengyang Academy were mostly scions of noble clans. Ordinary rogue cultivators simply couldn't afford to go.
However, the only exception was the Jade Cauldron Academy.
Wen Sheng Yi Han paid particular attention to whether he was educated or not. No matter if he was poor or lowly, he should have the right to cultivate. He would even be the Grand Tutor's tribute, and he would allocate it to the Jade Cauldron Academy every year.
As a result, the tuition fee for the Jade Cauldron Academy was very low, allowing most people to accept it.
Even if they were penniless, as long as it was appropriate, they could enter the Jade Cauldron Academy to cultivate.
This resulted in the most people participating in Jade Cauldron Academy's entrance exam every year, and it even surpassed the number of people who registered for the National Academy. There were three schools and nine schools, and there were all kinds of people mixed in.
Later on, in order to limit this type of situation, the Jade Cauldron Academy restricted the number of people who had a recommendation jade talisman. Only then could they participate in the entrance exam.
These recommendation jade talismans had a special number every year, and they were distributed to the various galactic authorities. They were the ones who recommended talents to participate in the Jade Cauldron Academy's entrance exam.
Those who were able to obtain a recommendation jade talisman had already received numerous tests before this, and only in the end were they able to stand out and obtain the qualifications to participate in the entrance examination.
At the same time, although the tuition fee for the Jade Cauldron Academy was not high, the threshold to enter was extremely high.
Many people came to participate in the academy entrance examination. Even if they were heaven warping geniuses, they still couldn't escape the fate of being eliminated.
"So that's how it is." Lu Yu nodded.
Mu Qingshan's talent was not high. This was something Lu Yu could tell with a single glance. His talent was far inferior compared to most of the geniuses Lu Yu had seen before.
However, Mu Qingshan had obviously put in a lot of effort. Whether it was the staff technique just now or the Qi that was faintly emitted from his body, one could see his own strength.
"Alright, let's go together. This is your sister? Her talent is not bad. Why is she only at the soul Realm now?"
Lu Yu glanced at Mu Ling.
His eyes were extremely sharp. With just a glance, he could tell Mu Ling's constitution.
Mu Qingshan was slightly startled. "Brother Lu, don't joke around. My sister is not suitable for cultivation. I'm just worried that she will be waiting outside by herself, so I decided to participate in the Jade Cauldron Academy's trial first. If I can successfully enter, I'll place my younger sister outside the academy. It'll be safer too."
Lu Yu frowned, "Could it be that she has never cultivated the Cultivation Methods before?"
Mu Ling kept staring at Lu Yu. Suddenly, she felt somewhat unconvinced.
The man in front of her seemed to be around her age, but he spoke with an air of age.
