Lin Qiubai swore that he definitely did not intend to cause trouble; it was all an accident.
What nearly drove the Senior Brothers in the Dining Hall to the brink of despair was the unexpected events; the Master's Residence turning into ruins in an instant was also an accident. Of course, the Treasure Pavilion being partially collapsed was an accident too.
"But the Elders won't believe me..."
Lin Qiubai rubbed his temples, feeling exhausted. There was no way to escape; even the Elders could guess with their toes.
In the entire Academy, only Lin Qiubai could create such a commotion.
So even if Lin Qiubai was "ten thousand miles" away from the scene of the incident, it would be of no use.
After waiting for more than ten breaths, the Dean and Elder Qi glided over the towering trees of the Academy like dragonflies skimming water and landed near the Treasure Pavilion. The first thing they said upon landing was a trembling question.
"What great adventure has happened this time?!"
The Dean glanced at the imposing Seven-Tiered Pagoda and then looked at Lin Qiubai with eager anticipation, his eyes shining brightly.
Elder Qi also stopped glaring at Lin Qiubai and instead smiled as he stroked his white beard, looking kind and friendly while waiting for Lin Qiubai's response.
Well, it turned out that the Dean and Elders had already concluded another rule: whenever Lin Qiubai caused trouble, it meant that a great adventure was about to occur.
Although there might be some losses, those losses were nothing compared to the rich opportunities presented before them.
They were too happy to even think about criticizing Lin Qiubai as a troublemaker.
Thinking from this perspective, the Elders were no longer startled or anxious; they felt good and could enjoy their meals and sleep soundly.
Now, the Dean and all the Elders felt that the world was wonderful and wished that Lin Qiubai would cause trouble every day.
"Uh..."
Lin Qiubai expressed confusion at the attitudes of the two and could only point to the Seven-Tiered Pagoda to explain.
"One hundred years ago, a talented senior left this inheritance on the wall.
Inside the Seven-Tiered Pagoda, there are seven formations that create a training space where students can enter for practice.
By achieving their goals, they can earn rewards. The rewards include pills that help Origin Realm warriors increase their cultivation speed, as well as Martial Arts techniques and manuals, ranging from low-grade spiritual to high-grade spiritual."
"Are you saying that the worst reward for the manuals is low-grade spiritual?"
"Yes."
"And what about the pills and Martial Arts?"
"Naturally, those too. The items left behind by Nirvana Realm experts would not be of common quality; that would diminish their value."
"Hiss..."
The Dean and Elder Qi simultaneously inhaled sharply. Pills, Martial Arts, and manuals all at least of low-grade spiritual quality—this kind of configuration already surpasses over sixty percent of low-grade sects.
In other words, if the students can obtain even a small reward from the Seven-Tiered Pagoda, their starting point will surpass that of their peers in the same tier. They would rank among the top disciples of low-grade sects.
At that time, the resources they acquire within the sect will also increase! A step ahead leads to being ahead at every step. This creates a positive cycle that profoundly impacts the future of the students!
"Ah..."
Seeing the long-term benefits, both the Dean and Elder Qi took deep breaths to calm their excitement.
"Lin Qiubai, I truly want to thank you on behalf of the three hundred students at Bai Shi Academy!"
The Dean suddenly spoke with a serious tone.
"If it weren't for you, how could this generation of students enjoy cultivation resources comparable to those of low-tier sects!?
The sect has given you little, but you have gained much. Don't blame the dean for being incapable; it's just that...
Sigh... I can only bow once to express my gratitude on behalf of myself and the students."
At this point, the dean could no longer maintain his status and bent down to bow to Lin Qiubai.
"Dean, you absolutely must not do this; it would be too much for me."
Lin Qiubai was immediately flustered; he could not accept such a bow.
In his view, the academy providing him with such a peaceful and tranquil haven was already quite remarkable.
At the very least, the dean and the elders were not indifferent and cruel individuals who allowed their disciples to scheme against each other and engage in ruthless battles.
Aside from a few exceptions, the senior brothers and sisters all got along harmoniously.
In this fantastical world, there was still the bond between teacher and student, as well as camaraderie among classmates, which allowed him to feel the warmth of home. This alone was enough for Lin Qiubai to be grateful.
However hard Lin Qiubai tried, he ultimately could not prevent the dean from bowing.
After solemnly expressing his gratitude, the dean finally looked seriously at the seven-story pagoda.
The treasures left behind by that senior who started at the White Room Academy could not possibly pose any danger.
Of course, this was true for Origin Realm students; if those from Yuan Dan Realm entered, they would be torn apart by powerful rules in an instant.
This was a training tower specifically designed for students, equipped with special restrictions.
"Why don't you go in and test it out? If there are good things inside, you can obtain them first."
The dean said to Lin Qiubai. As the discoverer of the pagoda, it was only natural that he would be the first beneficiary.
Lin Qiubai shook his head, his expression filled with helplessness. "The seniors say this opportunity does not belong to me. The Seven-Tiered Pagoda is something I cannot enter. Please give it to my Senior Brothers; in the future, I will naturally have my own opportunities."
Um...
Both the Dean and Elder Qi were left speechless. Given Lin Qiubai's knack for finding fortuitous encounters wherever he went, it seemed that in the future, he would likely possess Storage Rings by the hundreds.
Just taking out one Storage Ring, the treasures inside...
It was unimaginable!
"Elder Qi, please summon the Three Hundred Students. The Vitality Pillar is gradually depleting, and the remaining Vital Energy should be reserved for the trainee preparations; today they will primarily enter the Trial in the tower."
...
Master's Residence.
The Three Hundred Students, who had already stopped their cultivation, were all brimming with energy, their faces radiating confidence. This sleepless night of cultivation seemed to have transformed them completely, as if they had been reborn.
The surging blood flowed through their meridians, and every cell in their bodies bathed in rich Vital Energy, continuously nourishing and strengthening them.
All of this was thanks to their Junior Brother: Lin Qiubai.
They felt immense gratitude for the benefits they received.
"Where is Lin Shidi? Although I, Zhao Mu, have been defeated twice, my fighting spirit has only grown stronger. For the rest of my life, I will take Lin Shidi as my goal."
"My martial will has also been sharpened thanks to Lin Shidi!"
Chen Ziling clenched his fist, unable to express his gratitude towards Lin Shidi in mere words.
At that time, he was the top Trainee of White Room Academy and was extremely proud of himself.
Lin Qiubai's swift defeat of Zhao Mu in the Dining Hall and subsequent breakthrough had the greatest impact on him.
It almost caused him to develop a mental demon.
But he got through it, and his martial will became unbreakable.
In the future at the Sect, even if he faced great setbacks, his martial will would not waver in the slightest.
"Shall we go find Lin Shidi to express our gratitude?"
"Yes, let's invite him to the Dining Hall for a feast of ten dishes."
The Three Hundred Students reached a consensus and prepared to head towards Lin Qiubai's residence.
At that moment, Elder Qi happened to descend in front of the Master's Residence.
"Ahem... Your Lin Shidi has just crafted a Seven-Tiered Pagoda. Inside, you can obtain Spirit-Level Elixirs, weapons, martial arts techniques—come and take part...
This is a great opportunity."
What?!
The Three Hundred Students nearly fainted. They had already benefited greatly from the Vitality Pillar, and now there was another chance for fortune?!
