Yang Pingan spent a night planning his future cultivation, and the next morning, he began to train himself again.
Now, he was just waiting to truly begin meditation after enrollment and the teachers’ guidance.
Another two months passed, and it was almost time for enrollment.
That evening, Old Tom came to him alone: “Ping’an, tomorrow I will take you to Nuoding Primary School in Nuoding City to start school. At school, you must study hard and strive to become a Spirit Master as soon as possible. If your parents know about this in the afterlife, they will also be comforted.”
After speaking, Old Tom took out a money bag and handed it to Yang Pingan: “Ping’an, you may spend more when you go to Nuoding Primary School. These are the gold coins you deposited with me. You might need them when you go to school. Although there are thirteen gold coins here, which is a considerable sum, you will be in school for a longer time, so you must use them sparingly.”
Yang Pingan looked at Old Tom, a little conflicted: “Grandpa Tom, after my parents died these past two years, I owe it to your care; otherwise, I might not have grown this big. Can I continue to keep these gold coins with you?”
Old Tom couldn’t help but laugh: “Ping’an, what are you thinking? I am the village chief, so I naturally won’t covet your gold coins. Take them without worry. As long as I am in the village, no one will dare to covet your gold coins. Moreover, you will probably be a Spirit Master in the future, and the village will still need you Spirit Masters to look after it.”
Yang Pingan thought for a while before accepting the gold coins.
Then he took out three gold coins from the money bag and handed them to Tom.
“Grandpa Village Chief, over the years, both my parents and I have benefited greatly from your care. You even helped preside over my parents’ funeral. I don’t have much now, but this is my thanks for your years of kindness.”
Old Tom couldn’t help but laugh, but he still accepted the three gold coins: “Consider these deposited with me. Just come to me whenever you need them.”
“Grandpa Tom, don’t worry, the village will always be my home. I will return to the village every holiday.”
Only after hearing this did Old Tom leave Yang Pingan’s home with a relieved expression.
Yang Pingan watched Old Tom leave, and the smile on his face slowly relaxed.
As for the things under the floor tile at the foot of the bed, Yang Pingan never even glanced at them.
When those things were first put there, Yang Pingan was only two years old, just an ignorant child in his parents’ eyes, so his father didn’t avoid Yang Pingan when hiding them.
But what no one knew was that Yang Pingan already had thoughts and memories at that time.
He knew exactly what was under the floor tile, and he even knew how to open it.
It was just that the contents were too astonishing.
Yang Pingan was only a six-year-old child now, practically powerless.
He understood the principle of ‘a man’s wealth is his own ruin.’ If even a tiny bit of what was inside were revealed, it would likely invite disaster.
It was better to leave them under the floor tile; at least these villagers wouldn’t be able to find or open them.
The next morning, Yang Pingan had already packed his belongings, ready to depart at any moment. The source of this chapter is g.com.
Yang Pingan had very few things to take.
Besides two changes of clothes, there was nothing else.
After all, since his mother’s death, the house had become impoverished over the past two years.
With Old Tom’s arrival, Yang Pingan locked the front door of his home and left directly.
As the villagers watched Yang Pingan’s departing figure, envious glances were exchanged.
On the Douluo Continent, there was an unbridgeable chasm between Spirit Masters and ordinary people.
This trip to Nuoding City included Old Tom and his son.
The three of them drove a ox cart to Nuoding City.
After all, the village was quite far from Nuoding City, and it was a rare trip to the city, so some items needed to be purchased collectively, and some personal items needed to be bought for others.
The ox cart traveled for a full four hours before arriving in Nuoding City.
After entering the city, Old Tom’s son drove the ox cart to purchase goods, while Old Tom took Yang Pingan to Nuoding Primary School to register.
When the two arrived at Nuoding Primary School, the gatekeeper did not make things difficult for Old Tom and Yang Pingan.
On the contrary, the gatekeeper and Old Tom seemed quite familiar, probably because Old Tom had sent Work-Study Students to Nuoding Primary School before.
After Old Tom and the gatekeeper exchanged pleasantries, he took Yang Pingan into Nuoding Primary School to register.
A six-year-old child certainly couldn’t register by himself.
The registration process was very simple, especially for Work-Study Students, it was even simpler.
Work-Study Students did not need to pay tuition fees.
It mainly involved information registration, class assignment, Dormitory assignment, and so on.
Of course, some books and school rules were also distributed.
However, the teacher who registered Yang Pingan was suddenly puzzled after seeing Yang Pingan’s information, especially his Spirit.
There seemed to be a hint of deeper meaning in her eyes. Get faster updates on g.com.
As expected, Yang Pingan was also assigned to Room Seven.
It was said that all Work-Study Students were assigned to Room Seven.
After registration, Yang Pingan, carrying his belongings, followed the guidance of the academy’s teachers and staff to Room Seven.
Upon entering Room Seven, various strange odors filled the entire room, likely sweat odors.
After all, they were all young children just starting primary school, and no one could manage to bathe or wash their clothes, so a slight odor was normal.
Especially since the entire Room Seven was over three hundred square meters, with more than fifty beds.
However, only ten or twenty beds had quilts, either because this year’s Work-Study Students hadn’t arrived yet, or there were only this many Work-Study Students.
Yang Pingan casually found a relatively secluded spot and put down his quilt.
The entire Room Seven was quite spacious, which suited Yang Pingan’s personality.
As for socializing with other students or forming groups with other Work-Study Students, Yang Pingan had no interest.
According to Yang Pingan’s own plan, he probably wouldn’t stay in this Work-Study Student Dormitory for long.
After all, Work-Study Students had to work, and for one or two hours every day, which was purely a waste of time.
In fact, he had ten gold coins on him, as well as some silver coins and bronze coins.
His tuition fees before cultivating to a Spirit Master shouldn’t be a problem, as primary school tuition was relatively low, only five gold coins a year.
And based on Yang Pingan’s analysis of the Purple Gold Mastiff, he definitely had to find a job outside, and he had even already thought of his work goal.
After the enrollment was completed that day, Director Su, the Dean of Students responsible for enrollment, and the Academy Dean were chatting, mainly discussing whether there were any promising talents among this year’s new students, especially those with high Innate Spirit Power and powerful Spirits.
Such students were the academy’s key focus for cultivation.
One must know that in the World of Spirit Masters, Innate Spirit Power and Spirit basically determine one’s development potential.
If there were indeed good talents, they could easily surpass the few people present in the future, and even allow for early investment.
After all, the strongest individual in the entire Nuoding City was only a Spirit King, and the strongest in the academy was only the Dean, a Spirit Ancestor.
And in the Dean’s office, there was also a middle-aged man in black clothes.
This person had short black hair and looked somewhat melancholic and decadent, but there also seemed to be an invisible arrogance on his face.
