[ Morning has come! You must wake up for classes ]

Lu Fengyi leapt out of bed, grabbed his gear while donning his robes, thanking the system while he was at it. Now that he was much more familiar with the school layout, Lu Fengyi weaved through the student dorms and arrived quickly outside the classroom.

He knew that the other five students would clean the classroom first thing in the morning, so leaving the Frigid Sun Mother Grass upon the lecture stand was out of the question. The only place that the others would not touch would be the small side room that Zhang Xuan conducted his private sessions.

Lu Fengyi snuck through the unlocked door and entered the side room, placing the Frigid Sun Mother Grass upon the desk inside along with a note that recited, 'Use this Frigid Sun Mother Grass instead of the Frigid Sun Grass on Zhao Ya.'

Now that his job was complete, Lu Fengyi decided to play the part of a faithful student, picking up a broom and beginning to sweep the entire classroom. Not long after, the other students filed in one by one, each noticing what Lu Fengyi was doing and also helping out to clean the room. Soon, the entire room was sparkling clean and not a single speck of dust could be found upon the old desks.

”Good job guys! Zhang laoshi should be quite happy with this result!” Lu Fengyi praised the other students.

”Yeah!”

”It's only natural that a student should do this for their teacher.”

”Especially one of such calibre!”

The five nodded in agreement to Lu Fengyi's words before sitting themselves down and beginning to circulate energy throughout their bodies. Although Lu Fengyi sat down as well, he knew that if he cultivated like the others, he would break through in no time and that would raise suspicion among the students.

Zhang Xuan yawned as he approached the adjacent classroom door. It had been a long night and although he did not require any rest to refill his energy, it was still an instinctive action that he often took when he was a librarian. Upon opening the door, Zhang Xuan realised that his six students had not only cleaned up the entire room to the point that even the wooden tables would shine with a certain gleam but also began to diligently cultivate.

Smiling at his students, Zhang Xuan clapped his hands together, ”Alright students, we'll be starting lessons now. Just like yesterday, come into the small room when your name is called.”

Stepping into the room, Zhang Xuan noticed a yellowish herb upon the desk along with a note as he went to place his teaching materials down. Picking up the note to read, his eyes constricted as he realised what was lying upon his desk. Although it seemed to be a simple herb that was of poor condition, Zhang Xuan instantly knew what is was upon touching it. What was lying upon the desk was not a sickly herb, but a mountain of gold!

”What the hell is going on here?!”
