The six of them discussed how to allocate the dormitory and which rooms each would need during specific periods.
For example, Yu Qiuyu requested to use the martial arts room for 3 hours every day. Bai Ting and Hai Lingxue both demanded use of the artifact refining room, leading to a heated argument between them.
Mu Yanxi found it strange. ‘They are still just Qi Refining disciples; what do they know about weapon refining?’
Then it suddenly occurred to her that the artifact refining room wasn’t necessarily just for crafting divine artifacts or divine treasures.
To repair the pile of junk inside her storage pouch, she would also need the tools found in an artifact refining room.
“I want to use the artifact refining room as well,” Mu Yanxi said.
The two girls, who looked to be only 13 or 14, glared at her simultaneously. “You want to use it too? What do you know about weapon refining?”
“Uh, I might need to use it. You two decide first, and I’ll just take whatever time is left over.” Facing these two aggressive young ladies, Mu Yanxi immediately lost her nerve.
Having just been subjected to Shangguan Yun’s overbearing affection, she did not dare provoke these young misses any further.
Seeing Mu Yanxi back down, the expressions of the two girls softened. Hai Lingxue nodded. “That’s more like it.”
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Yun spoke up.
“No. Since we are roommates, everyone should have fair access to the dormitory resources provided by the Sect. Yanxi’s time in the artifact refining room must satisfy her reasonable needs without conflicting with other cultivation schedules.”
Bai Ting and Hai Lingxue looked tense upon hearing this. Their own requirements for the artifact refining room were extensive, often needing more than 8 hours at a time or even entering seclusion within it.
If another person was added—especially one whose time had to be guaranteed as a priority—the schedule would become incredibly tight.
Mu Yanxi could tell that while Shangguan Yun spoke of fairness, she was actually sticking up for her.
The two girls weren’t nervous because of Mu Yanxi herself, but because of the pressure exerted by Shangguan Yun’s status as the chief disciple.
Mu Yanxi sighed. “I’m really in no hurry to use it, and I won’t need it frequently. It’s just for occasional use. Really, the two of you should finish your negotiations first. Just let me have any spare time.”
The two girls relaxed once more. Bai Ting said seriously, “That is certainly fine. Thank you.”
Seeing Mu Yanxi’s stance, Shangguan Yun could only say, “Fine. However, no matter which room it is, no one is allowed to monopolize it, and small cliques of two or three cannot hoard the space.”
“As for the artifact refining room, my personal suggestion is to give Hai Lingxue priority. The time she needs shouldn’t be long, but it is very important.”
As soon as Shangguan Yun finished speaking, Hai Lingxue’s gaze turned wary. She stared at Shangguan Yun as if some secret had been exposed, but Shangguan Yun remained composed, seemingly indifferent to the look.
Hai Lingxue eventually retracted her gaze. After all, Shangguan Yun held the highest status as the chief disciple. She was the Dormitory head and had the final say in the room allocations.
In this place, all students judged by the teachers of the Spiritual Moon Sect to have the potential for the elite class lived in Tian-rank dormitories.
The top ten disciples were distributed among ten different dorms to avoid conflict, and each of the top ten disciples served as the Dormitory head of their own room—this was also one of their privileges.
“Don’t worry. If the current allocation is insufficient, the Great Sect has even higher-grade cultivation rooms, alchemy rooms, and artifact refining rooms available for rent,” Shangguan Yun said with a smile.
“Although they require a certain amount of academic credits, they are much more advanced than what the dormitory provides.”
Mu Yanxi understood academic credits to be something similar to sect contribution points, though not exactly the same.
