Chapter 10 School Starts
Two days later, as the first rays of sunlight streamed through the window into the room, Shi Lin, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.
It seems that Shi Lin has been sitting here all night.
Although Shi Lin now has the aid of the wine Gu to assist his cultivation, he still cannot slack off and needs to cultivate diligently to strive to break through level ten as soon as possible. In this way, he can not only absorb his first soul ring, but also form a contract with a natal Gu worm.
At that time, Shi Lin will have the basic ability to fight.
So Shi Lin began to cultivate himself to replace sleep with cultivation. Although it had only been two days, Shi Lin had already basically adapted and could cultivate cross-legged in bed for a whole night without feeling uncomfortable.
Just then, Shi An knocked on Shi Lin's door.
"Young Master, we need to get up early for breakfast today. The Master will personally take you to school later." Shi An's voice came from outside.
In fact, Shi Lin exited his cultivation state early this morning to prepare for school.
"Okay, Brother An, wait for me a moment, I'll be right out." Shi Lin nodded and replied, then got out of bed and started washing up.
After a quick wash and changing into new clothes, he went to the front yard with Shi An.
At this moment, Shi Zhen changed into a brand new set of clothes. Knowing that it was his son's school day, Shi Zhen had a bright smile on his face and looked radiant.
"Dad, I'm going to school, not to receive an award. There's no need for such a grand ceremony," Shi Lin said with a helpless sigh, looking at his father's expression.
"Haha, my son is attending a Soul Master Academy! That's even more exciting than receiving an award!" Shi Zhen said with a hearty laugh to Shi Lin.
Looking at Shi Zhen's expression, Shi Lin knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he simply let his father do as he pleased.
If you have enough money, you can easily make several thousand or even several hundred new outfits.
"Alright, let's go. Xiao An, you drive. We'll head straight for Notting Junior Academy." Shi Zhen led Shi Lin into the carriage and then said to Shi An.
"Yes, sir!" Shi An smiled honestly and replied.
After the two were settled, Shi An raised his whip and drove the carriage toward Notting City.
Sitting in the carriage, Shi Lin and Shi Zhen chatted.
"Dad, I've put some good wine at Brother An's place. The quality of those wines is quite good. You can exchange them for a few more good wine jars and take some to the City Lord's Mansion, the Spirit Hall, or the Guard Army. These people are our superiors, and we can't avoid them if we want to do business," Shi Lin said to Shi Zhen after thinking for a moment.
"I know, you're even teaching your old man a lesson now. Alright, I'll deliver the wine in a couple of days. After you start school, you must cultivate diligently and break through as soon as possible. Your old man will help you arrange a soul ring." Shi Zhen smiled, but his son was right; he really should deliver something.
During holidays and festivals, Shi Zhen would also give these people gifts, but they were mostly gold soul coins.
Shi Zhen knew that the wine left behind by Shi Lin was of very good quality.
Notting City is located in a remote area with inconvenient transportation, so even if you have money, it is difficult to buy high-quality wines.
Therefore, offering alcoholic beverages as a gift is more cost-effective.
And so, Shi Zhen and Shi Lin chatted all the way in the carriage, only stopping when they arrived in Notting City.
"Son, don't worry too much about the family business. Your old man isn't that old yet, I can manage. But you, study hard and cultivate diligently at the Academy." Shi Zhen patted Shi Lin on the shoulder and earnestly instructed him.
"Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely become an excellent Soul Master." Shi Lin patted his chest and assured his father.
"Xiao An, go park the carriage near Notting Junior Academy and then just wait," Shi Zhen said, waving to Shi An.
"Yes, sir!" Shi An replied, then drove the carriage away.
Shi Zhen led Shi Lin to the entrance of Notting Junior Academy.
"Please show me your admission notice." A security guard, noticing Shi Zhen's distinguished attire, smiled and asked him.
Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse; if you dress well, others will respect you more.
"You two have worked hard. This is my son's admission notice." Shi Zhen smiled and took out Shi Lin's admission notice from his pocket, handing it to the two of them.
At the same time, he subtly took out two Silver Soul Coins and placed them in the hands of the two people.
A security guard checked the admission notice and quickly confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it.
"May your child become a true Soul Master soon." The two guards, having received their money, naturally didn't hesitate to offer free auspicious words.
"Thank you, thank you." Shi Zhen nodded with a smile, and then led Shi Lin into Notting Junior Academy.
Shi Lin thought to himself, but still let his father take him into Notting Junior Academy.
After entering Notting Junior Academy, Shi Zhen led Shi Lin straight to the dormitory building.
Before the start of the semester, Shi Zhen had already arranged accommodation for Shi Lin.
Because he was rich, Shi Lin's dormitory was a single room, complete with brand-new bedding and various daily necessities.
Shi Zhen took out a key and opened a dormitory door.
Then Shi Zhen and Shi Lin went into the dormitory.
Looking at the dormitory room in front of him, which was exactly the same as his own bedroom, Shi Lin's eyes widened instantly. He never expected that Shi Zhen would decorate his dormitory room like this.
It has to be said that having money is great; you can do whatever you want.
"Dad, you're practically ready to bring Brother An in here!" Shi Lin joked to his father, looking at the dormitory room in front of him.
"I was just worried you wouldn't be able to sleep. The pig farm at home is making a lot of money now, so spending a little more money to make you more comfortable is no big deal," Shi Zhen said with a smile, stroking Shi Lin's hair.
"Alright then." Shi Lin sighed helplessly. His father was really willing to spend money.
"I've met all the teachers at the school, and I've already taken care of the arrangements. If you have any problems, just go directly to a teacher. You get two days off every month, and I'll have Xiao An pick you up," Shi Zhen instructed Shi Lin.
"I understand, Dad. I will study hard and cultivate diligently," Shi Lin said with a chuckle.
"Alright, I know you're smart, so I won't waste any more words. I'm going back now." Shi Zhen said, then turned and left.
"Dad, let me see you off." Shi Lin stood up and saw Shi Zhen out of Notting Junior Academy, then turned around and went back to his dormitory.
Looking at the spacious and bright dormitory in front of him, Shi Lin suddenly felt a sense of relief. This place would be his own little world in the future.
He would probably be living here for the next few years.
Tomorrow is the first day of school. Shi Lin came out of the dormitory and strolled around the school to get used to the upcoming school life.
