"I have made up my mind. I will go to the Cloud Hidden Sacred Sect, a journey of twenty-three million miles!"
Lin Qiubai's gaze was unwavering, and his tone revealed a fearless determination. Standing among his fellow disciples, a powerful confidence radiated from him, diminishing the doubts of those around him until they gradually disappeared.
In the distance, the Dean silently observed Lin Qiubai. Seeing him so audacious and arrogant, instead of feeling repulsed, the Dean sighed with a hint of admiration:
"Indeed, a peerless genius is always unconventional; both his thoughts and actions are beyond what Sparrow could fathom."
What ordinary martial artist would dare to travel alone for twenty-three million miles? They probably wouldn't even dare to think about it.
Only a true genius would view perilous situations as opportunities for growth.
Moreover, one reason why geniuses are considered as such is that the heavens bestow great Fortune upon them. With this Fortune, even if an astonishing genius ventures deep into danger, they can emerge unscathed and may even find their strength significantly enhanced upon their return.
Just thinking about it is terrifying.
The Dean shook his head with a sense of melancholy, his weathered face filled with envy.
"Alright, let's leave it at that..."
Lin Qiubai did not reveal his talents of having a Sacred Body and being a Supreme Artifact Refiner. Only a few knew his true capabilities: Lin Shuangyue, Dean Wang, and Lin Chuxue.
He had no intention of making it public. After bidding farewell to his fellow disciples, he wandered around the White Room Academy.
In other words, it means scanning the entire White Room Academy.
Whenever he encounters something useful or relatively precious, such as Treasure or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, he directly steals Cao Zhendong's Fortune to obtain it.
Cao Zhendong is the first enemy Lin Qiubai encountered, with a high Fortune Value of two thousand, making his potential terrifying.
Although Lin Qiubai later intercepted and stole sixteen hundred Fortune from him, four hundred still remains.
Four hundred Fortune Value is already frighteningly high; it can at least allow one to cultivate to the Yuan Dan Realm. If he were to gain a few fortuitous encounters, his achievements would undoubtedly be even greater.
Lin Qiubai does not want to see Cao Zhendong lingering in front of him for even a second longer; it is better to strip him of his Fortune as soon as possible.
This way, he can avoid unnecessary troubles.
The ten Training Grounds are relatively small in area and barren in Treasure, yielding only a little over ten grams of Peiyuan Saliva and a set of Common Grade Low-Rank Fist Technique.
The Training Grounds are already completely barren.
Therefore, Lin Qiubai decided to go to the Inner Academy, to the Elder Hall, and around the Treasure Pavilion to sweep through. After all, he currently enjoys special privileges.
He took out the White Room Token.
Holding the White Room Token in his hand, Lin Qiubai swaggered in.
The Inner Academy has restricted access, but upon seeing the White Room Token, the guards opened a path for him.
"Straight ahead leads to the Academy, where all official Trainees gather for cultivation. To the left is Baichuan Palace, and to the right is the Master's Residence."
Lin Qiubai nodded, gaining a general understanding of the layout of the Inner Academy.
Entering the Academy.
It is essentially a combination of the teaching area and the accommodation area.
The teaching area is further divided into several parts, such as the Cultivation Room and the Training Ground.
Official Trainees are in a transitional phase from the Academy to the Sect.
They have many tasks to complete, learning basic knowledge daily in areas such as Alchemy, Refining Qi, and Beast Taming.
After three months of study, Trainees generally know where their talents lie.
Those skilled in Alchemy choose to take the assessment for the Alchemy Sect.
Those proficient in weapon refining opt for the weapon refining Sect.
Those without special talents simply focus on their cultivation.
Baichuan Palace, named for its meaning of "embracing all rivers," contains a vast collection of foundational books covering Alchemy, weapon refining, Beast Taming, and more, which Trainees can choose from freely.
The Master's Residence, which Lin Qiubai has visited, is beautifully constructed and spacious, consisting of both the Master's Residence and the Treasure Pavilion.
Today, Lin Qiubai has two plans. The daytime plan is to sweep through the area openly, while at night he intends to sneak over to activate the Treasure Location.
Upon entering, he turned right.
Lin Qiubai made his way smoothly to the Master's Residence.
[Beep, scanned a rare Beast Taming fragment: Cultivating Gu. Would you like to pay your Fortune Value to acquire it?]
A fragment?
After entering Cao Zhendong's information, Lin Qiubai was astonished; just a fragment required 365 points of Fortune Value.
Based on past experiences, the more Fortune Value consumed to acquire a Treasure, the higher its value.
365 points of Fortune Value was already the highest value Treasure Lin Qiubai had encountered so far.
Acquire.
He chose to confirm and opened the Treasure Chest, revealing a dark Cover Page quietly lying in the small compartment, emanating a faint glow.
Cultivating Gu?
Interesting.
He knew a bit about Gu. The Xian Sheng Dynasty was vast and rich, home to various types of Gu Worms, including bloodthirsty ones, essence-devouring ones, and soul-snatching ones...
However, the art of cultivating Gu was considered too sinister and looked down upon by the Sect Academy.
The Xian Sheng Dynasty once had the Burning Insect Tome, which was a scheme against Gu scholars. Since then, the practice of Gu has become rare.
But Lin Qiubai did not care about whether it was sinister or not; if it could kill enemies, it was divine magic.
Keep it for future study!
[Ding, Host Fortune Value has exceeded two thousand, the first upgrade begins. This upgrade will consume: one thousand Supreme Origin Stones. Detected that the host has enough Supreme Origin Stones, automatic consumption has been activated.]
What the hell!
The joy of a bountiful harvest for Lin Qiubai was instantly dashed.
One thousand Supreme Origin Stones were his energy source for traveling; without them, would he have to walk? That would take ages!
"Spit it out!"
Lin Qiubai was furious.
But the Heavenly Dao payment system offered no further explanation. Golden Light flashed rapidly, and one thousand top-quality Spirit Stones vanished without a trace.
[Ding, the upgrade will take six hours, please be patient.]
Great, one thousand Supreme Origin Stones are gone, and the plan to sweep through the Academy has been shelved.
Although it was regrettable, upon careful consideration, the upgrade of the Heavenly Dao payment system would surely bring greater benefits.
