After irresponsibly setting their engagement, the two indeed seemed to grow quite close.
After eating and drinking their fill, Li Rui gradually regained some strength, and Ruo Xin instructed him to:
"Li Rui, go dig out that snake's Serpent Pearl for me to soak in water."
"Okay."
The beautiful woman opened her mouth, and the unfortunate Li Rui could only take his longsword and dive into the snake's head, rummaging around until he was covered in Blood Pool before finally finding a fist-sized Serpent Pearl that resembled jade. He presented it to his goddess.
The Serpent Pearl was found, but Li Rui really had no way to find a container for Ruo Xin to soak it in. Fortunately, after eating the snake meat, Ruo Xin had recovered somewhat and was able to summon a bit of true energy to take out a copper goblet and a few bottles of elixirs from her spatial ring.
Li Rui first fed her a few elixirs, then used the copper goblet to boil some water, soaking the Serpent Pearl inside.
After doing all this, Li Rui returned to the shore to begin the task of dismembering the corpse, extracting the most valuable Snake Fangs, snake gallbladder, and Serpent Heart.
The Snake Fangs could be used to forge weapons or refine medicines. The snake gallbladder not only had medicinal properties but could also benefit the body and was suitable for refining various elixirs, with Mingmu Dan being the most appropriate.
The Serpent Heart was where Essence Blood converged, greatly nourishing one's vitality and considered a precious medicine with extensive uses.
It is worth mentioning that the giant snake's gallbladder was not as large as one might imagine; it was only about the size of a longan fruit and had already crystallized, resembling amber.
At Ruo Xin's strong insistence, Li Rui swallowed it.
Its effects were not as immediate as one might expect. After swallowing it, Li Rui only felt a gentle warmth spreading from his abdomen to his limbs; he did not feel an overwhelming surge of vitality nor did he notice any significant improvement in his vision.
According to the method of Ruo Xin, its effectiveness would be a gradual process, lasting about six or seven days.
After dealing with this matter, Li Rui fed Ruo Xin the water infused with Serpent Pearl. After a brief period of drowsiness, Ruo Xin called him awake.
After drinking the water infused with Serpent Pearl, Ruo Xin had regained her ability to move. Noticing the color and brightness around her, she instructed Li Rui to look for a boat.
Li Rui swam downstream along the river and soon found a town by the riverside. He went ashore, bought some clothes to change into, and found a few boats to return to the island.
When the boatmen saw the corpse of the giant serpent, their astonishment was evident. However, such occurrences were not uncommon in this world. Although they were surprised, they were not panicked; instead, they felt more excitement.
Carrying the Serpent Corpse back to town, Li Rui had a meal with Ruo Xin, casually sold the giant serpent's body, and then rented a boat to drift downstream towards Guang'an Prefecture.
On the journey, Li Rui sat at the bow of the boat and began to plan his future itinerary.
The first thing he needed to do was find his missing parents.
The second was to take revenge on the Feng Family.
However, neither of these tasks could be accomplished with his current cultivation level. Therefore, his most important task at present was to improve his cultivation and reach Qi Hai Realm as soon as possible.
Although the Azure Dragon Breathing Technique was miraculous, it was merely a foundational technique. It could not replace cultivation resources nor provide Li Rui with details that needed attention during cultivation, nor did it offer subsequent cultivation methods.
Thus, Li Rui needed to find a place that could truly teach him how to cultivate.
This was not only about finding a teacher but also about seeking support.
In the Cultivation World, having a good backing is very important, as it not only affects the speed of cultivation but also influences future achievements.
Without a good backing, even talent alone makes it difficult to achieve great success.
Of course, if you have extraordinary luck, these factors may not matter, but who can guarantee their own fortune?
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing Li Rui lost in thought, Ruo Xin waved her hand in front of his eyes.
"Oh, it's nothing. I was just thinking about which sect to join."
"Join a sect?"
"Yes, if I don't quickly find a decent sect, when will my cultivation ever catch up to yours so that I can take you home?"
"I think you're overthinking it. No matter which sect you join, the chances of catching up to me are slim."
Li Rui: "..."
"But for your future, I think you should first join an academy."
"An academy? What's the use of that? Don't they only teach until you reach the Qi Sea realm and then let you go without any further guidance?"
"Exactly! That's why you should join an academy."
Ruo Xin smiled lightly and said:
"It seems you really are a novice, completely unaware of anything."
"Generally, only a Sect would recruit cultivators from the Refining Realm as disciples. What future do you expect by joining such a Sect?"
"For major Sects, reaching Qi Hai Realm is a basic requirement because the advancement rate from Refining Realm to Qi Hai Realm is too low. No one can guarantee that the resources spent on training someone will ensure they become a Qi Hai Realm cultivator."
"However, what troubles them is that if a cultivator does not receive proper guidance in the Refining Realm, even if they advance to Qi Hai, they may make various mistakes, resulting in an unstable foundation and damaged potential."
"As a result, specialized Academies were established to guide Refining Realm cultivators to Qi Hai."
"These Academies provide students with solid foundational techniques and help them find paths that suit them better. Advancing under the guidance of an Academy generally does not leave issues that harm the foundation, making it the most suitable group for recruitment by major Sects."
"Now, some Sects even primarily recruit disciples from promising Academies, treating the mountain gate trials as a supplementary method."
"So, a good Academy serves as a stepping stone to a good Sect. Do you understand now?"
"I see!"
Li Rui realized and asked:
"Are there any good Academies nearby?"
"I recommend you go to Guang'an Academy. After all, it is a central Academy in the state and is among the top Academies in all of Guangping Prefecture. The top Sects of the Great Qian Kingdom also recruit disciples there."
"Alright, let's go to Guang'an Academy."
Li Rui's eyes sparkled with excitement as he finally confirmed his direction.
"It's you, not us. I have no need to go to any academy."
Ruo Xin once again casually indicated that there was a significant gap between her and him.
"Are you going to leave then?"
Li Rui was momentarily taken aback.
"Am I leaving? I'm just saying I don't need to go to the academy. During my recovery, I still need you by my side as a bodyguard."
"Fine, as long as you don't leave, I'm more than happy to be your bodyguard."
Li Rui smiled lightly, thinking that this wife he picked up was indeed quite good—not only was she beautiful, but she could also guide his cultivation. She had already helped him a lot with just a few words!
It's just being her bodyguard for a while; after all, she would be his wife in the future. Protecting his wife was definitely not a loss.
The boat leisurely traveled for a while before finally docking at the Guang'an City pier. The two casually found a restaurant to fill their stomachs before asking around to find Guang'an Academy.
Along the way, Ruo Xin's beauty attracted widespread attention. Li Rui even worried that a bully might suddenly appear to block their path and try to snatch her away. At that moment, should he take action or not?
Fortunately, Guang'an City was a state city with good public safety, and they didn't encounter anyone trying to forcefully take the beautiful girl along the way.
Guang'an Academy is located in the southeast of the city, covering nearly a thousand zhang, with grand gates and courtyards, exuding an extraordinary atmosphere.
According to others' methods, the Academy recruits students without a fixed schedule; as long as you register, pass the assessment, and pay the tuition, you can become a proud student.
After enrollment, students are randomly assigned to a mentor who will be responsible for them. This mentor becomes your main point of contact at the Academy.
Of course, you are not limited to learning from just this one mentor; it is simply that this mentor will take on greater responsibility for their assigned students and will supervise your progress.
Here, there are instructors with Qi Hai Realm and above giving lectures, and students can freely choose whether or not to attend based on their interests, allowing for a very liberal academic atmosphere.
In fact, many of the current students are no longer learning within the Academy; there is nothing more it can teach them.
The reason it still retains its name is to use it as a stepping stone when recruiting disciples for various Sects.
