Chapter 261: The Immortal Cultivation University Starts Recruiting Students

A month after the new year began, the various countries announced that the world was resuming travel.

At the same time, the first cultivation university that Qin Chuan built in this world was completed.

The Immortal Cultivation University was built on Cloud Mountain Guesthouse, and it could accommodate at least fifty thousand people.

There was a spiritual meridian from the land of legacy buried underneath the university, and a large-scale Energy Converging Array set up by Qin Chuan. The spiritual energy here had already reached the standards required for cultivation.

The news of the establishment of the Immortal Cultivation University quickly spread throughout the world. Everyone was extremely excited.

On the same day, the official website of the university was published.

There was a student recruitment brochure on the website.

The university was recruiting students from all over the world. They only needed to be eighteen years old. There was no upper age limit.

Furthermore, there was no need for any related tests in mathematics or physics to apply for the university.

The only condition was to light up all the stars with Heart Refining Rock and then do an exam on cultivation knowledge.

This exam paper was about the most basic questions in cultivation.

When Qin Chuan gave his speeches during the global tour, he did mention that anyone who had listened seriously would not find the paper exam difficult.

The university had a quota of fifty thousand for the first batch of students on the recruitment brochure.

90% would be locals, and 10% would be overseas students.

After all, one should never allow benefits to be given to outsiders!

The rest of the world did not have any objections with 90% of the quota being set aside for the locals.

Due to the lack of cultural requirements in the recruitment brochure, the number of applicants across the world easily exceeded 100 million in just one second.

After all, the university was only recruiting fifty thousand people, and there were even fewer quotas for overseas students, so the competition was extremely intense.

Very soon, the various countries worldwide began to conduct the tests using the Heart Refining Rocks.

During Qin Chuan’s global tour, he had distributed some Heart Refining Rocks to the countries as preparation for the university.

It was the first time these candidates were coming into contact with the Heart Refining Rock, and they were all quite curious about such an examination method.

Everyone had three chances to touch the Heart Refining Rock, and the best result would be taken.

Theoretically speaking, no matter how many times one touches it, the results of the Heart Refining Rock would basically be the same. However, there were also special situations that may occur, albeit rare.

Soon, a day passed.

According to statistics, the passing rate of the test by the Heart Refining Rock was extremely low, roughly one in a thousand.

Therefore, a large number of people were eliminated just by this test alone.

The latter segment of doing the exam paper didn’t seem difficult, but with so many applicants, it was certain that whoever had the highest score would be admitted first.

Days passed. Some were happy, while others were sad.

Half a month later, the application phase of the Immortal Cultivation University came to an end, and the fifty thousand students were basically confirmed.

Next was the allocation of cultivation specialization.

The Immortal Cultivation University did not teach mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Instead, it taught people how to refine pills, forge weapons, control swords, etc.

There were a total of six major faculties: Combat, Alchemy, Weapon Forging, Array Formations, and Divination.

There are many kinds of cultivation specializations in every faculty.

The Combat faculty had the most types of specializations. There were specializations for sword cultivators, fire cultivators, water cultivators, wood cultivators, and more.

To balance out the number of cultivators in each specialization, Qin Chuan had a discussion with the Peak Masters and put in some measures.

For example, the sword cultivator specialization that was extremely popular now took up 80% of the applicants.

That would not do.

If everyone majored in swordsmanship, the other majors would seem redundant.

Hence, Qin Chuan set a fixed quota of applicants for each specialization and assigned them using a computer program.

In this way, registering for a specialization depended purely on luck.

When this measure was first implemented, there were quite a bit of objections.

After all, everyone came to cultivate for the sake of a certain specialization. If they couldn’t cultivate the specialization that they liked, there would be no meaning in cultivating.

Regarding this, Qin Chuan didn’t really care.

Many people in the world wanted to become immortal cultivators. Anyone could take anyone’s place.

Although everyone had their own opinions, they still wanted to cultivate.

A few days later, those new students received the acceptance letter from the Immortal Cultivation University, as well as a storage bag.

The storage bag had a space of about ten cubic meters, enough for them to store many things.

Many people posted their acceptance letters and storage bags on various social media platforms, bringing in a wave of envy and jealousy.

The acceptance letters were engraved with teleportation arrays. Freshmen could directly reach the university through the arrays.

This saved a lot of time and trouble with traffic.

The admission letter stated that the school term would start in three days.

Three days was enough time for them to make preparations.

When the term began, the new students only needed to drip a drop of blood onto the acceptance letter, and they would be able to activate the teleportation array.

But the blood could not come from anyone else. Otherwise, the array formation could not be opened.

The array formation could only be used on the freshmen, and no one else could teleport.

If one does not activate the array formation within the stipulated date, he would lose the right to cultivate.

Thus, these freshmen placed great importance on the day the teleportation array would open.

On this day, everyone pierced their fingers and dripped their blood onto their acceptance letters.

In the next second, a faint golden ripple appeared on the surface of their letters.

Then, a translucent golden arch appeared before them.

As long as one stepped through the golden arch, they could reach the university.

Presently.

In the university, Qin Chuan, the Peak Masters, and the elders stood at the training hall to welcome the new students.

In next to no time, the training hall lit up with specks of bright light again and again, and the new students arrived successively like mushrooms sprouting up after the rain.

With the arrival of the new students, the huge training hall instantly became lively.

Qin Chuan looked at the freshmen. There were many familiar faces among them.

Back then, in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there had been a screening of those martial arts families, but the vast majority had failed to pass the trial of the Heart Refining Rock.

Because of this, Qin Chuan had given them the Tao Te Ching to learn virtues from it and improve their state of mind.

Now that they were here, it meant that studying the Tao Te Ching was quite useful.

Before long, all of the freshmen arrived at the university through the teleportation arrays.

Amongst the new students, other than the members of the martial arts family clans, this was the first time everyone was seeing Qin Chuan in person.

Previously, they had only seen him through the Internet or media such as television. Now that they saw him in real life, they were especially excited.

They admired Qin Chuan greatly.

This was especially true for the female freshmen. Their faces were flushed red, and they looked like they were infatuated with Qin Chuan. They wished they could offer themselves up to him.

When he saw the lively crowd of freshmen below, Qin Chuan used his divine consciousness to scan through the crowd. Everyone had arrived.

After discussing with the elders, he announced the start of the opening ceremony.

Qin Chuan gestured for everyone to be quiet.

The freshmen were very respectful towards Qin Chuan. The initially lively training hall instantly became quiet.

When he saw this, Qin Chuan cleared his throat and said in a clear voice, “Students, first of all, on behalf of the Immortal Cultivation University, I welcome your arrival.”

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause sounded from below.

Qin Chuan waved his hands once again, and the applause gradually stopped. Very quickly, silence was restored.

Qin Chuan continued, “Previously, I made many speeches regarding cultivation worldwide. As for the purpose of cultivation, I won’t emphasize it anymore.

“However, you have to understand one thing. We do not cultivate to rule and dominate the world. Instead, we want to use our strength to protect ourselves, our family, friends, or even the world.”

These words continued to ring around the ears of these freshmen and became deeply engraved in their minds.

After experiencing the monster calamity, they cherished the people around them even more.

This was the reason why they chose to cultivate.

Next, Qin Chuan talked about the university rules and some things to take note of.
