Protect Our Chief-Chapter 486 - 13: Liyao! Academy, Here I Come_2

Under Gu Hanyu’s guidance, the three stepped forward one by one, each respectfully offering tea to Master Dan Ding. They performed the apprenticeship ceremony according to protocol before taking their seats again beside Master Dan Ding, waiting cautiously for the inquiry.

"I don’t have that many rules here, so no need to be overly restrained," Master Dan Ding glanced at the three of them, his tone indifferent, "I already have a rough idea of your alchemy skills. However, since you three have entered under my tutelage, I need a relatively detailed understanding of your cultivation status to guide you properly. Please introduce your cultivation situation~" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Saying this, he looked at Qiaan Xuefu.

"You start first."

"Yes, Master." Qiaan Xuefu responded respectfully without delay and then began to introduce his situation, "I am thirty-seven this year, cultivated to the Second Layer of the Spirit Platform Realm, and awakened the Li Fire Bloodline, currently at the Second Layer Mid-Stage."

Upon hearing this, Master Dan Ding nodded slightly, his expression fairly satisfied: "Not bad."

Receiving the compliment, Qiaan Xuefu unconsciously puffed out his chest, his expression somewhat proud.

Among his peers in many direct lineage brothers, his talent is quite commendable, having innately awakened a First-Tier Bloodline. During his Qi Refining Stage, his great-grandfather Qian Jingde invested heavily to buy him a Bone Marrow Purify Pill, which elevated his bloodline to the First Layer Mid-Stage.

Had it not been for this, he wouldn’t have received special attention from the family, becoming an alchemist.

Currently, his bloodline talent ranks among the top in the young generation of the Purple Mansion Qiaan Family, with only a few in the direct lineage slightly stronger than him.

"I am thirty-five this year, cultivated to the First Layer of the Spirit Platform Realm, also awakened the Li Fire Bloodline, and owing to some previous opportunities, currently at the Second Layer High-Stage," Sii Xinghai said in a flat tone.

What?

Second Layer High-Stage?

Qiaan Xuefu’s face suddenly turned somewhat dejected, involuntarily shrinking his neck, not daring to speak more.

"Good, good, good." Master Dan Ding showed a look of appreciation, "Xinghai, as a loose cultivator, reaching this point is truly not easy. Without mentioning bloodline, your perseverance alone is incomparable to others. If you can find some way during the Spirit Platform Realm stage to cross into the Triple Bloodline, you’d be no lesser than the outstanding celestial prides and direct disciples of those academies. With sufficient opportunities, there’s a chance to step into the Purple Mansion Realm."

"Thank you, Master, for your praise and kindness." Sii Xinghai felt slightly excited, with Master’s words, his future is indeed bright.

Being an alchemist is greatly consuming but also highly lucrative. Otherwise, Sii Xinghai wouldn’t have reached where he is today.

Finally.

Master Dan Ding’s gaze landed on Wang Shouye, a glint of admiration appeared in his eyes. Initially taking Wang Shouye as a disciple was partly due to his excellent exam results, and partly because the Prince of the county personally pleaded on his behalf.

Unexpectedly, Wang Shouye turned out to be exceptionally talented and indeed surprising, easily defeating Dongfang Yuxi, restoring Master Dan Ding’s honor.

"Shouye, tell us about your situation," Master Dan Ding said kindly. He had already decided that no matter if the child’s bloodline was inferior, he would find a way to enhance it.

"Returning to Master." Wang Shouye answered earnestly, "My bloodline was originally quite ordinary, but my fourth brother found a way to elevate my bloodline. I am now twenty-eight years old, at the Peak of the First Layer of the Spirit Platform Realm, with a Third Layer Li Fire Bloodline."

What?

Third Layer Li Fire Bloodline?

Qiaan Xuefu felt somewhat shaken, having been secretly relieved when he heard Wang Shouye mentioning his ordinary bloodline. Yet unexpectedly, soon after he claimed to have a Triple Bloodline! This guy wouldn’t be satisfied until he shocked others.

Sii Xinghai was also stunned beyond measure, his eyes a bit dazed, with the last remnants of pride in his heart shattered.

"Good, good, good!" Master Dan Ding chuckled with gratification, "I didn’t expect it, I really didn’t expect to find such a treasure, taking a disciple arbitrarily, who turns out to be a celestial pride!"

Even for a Purple Mansion Ascendant, randomly finding a celestial pride is not easy. After all, young people at the level of celestial pride are either in various sacred lands’ powers or are the pillars of extremely powerful families.

Although not every celestial pride eventually steps into the Purple Mansion Realm, ultimately, their probability is much higher than those little celestial prides.

Wang Shouye sighed in his heart.

He finally understood how much effort his fourth brother had put into him. And he also finally realized the profound heritage his family possessed. After all, Wang Shouye’s bloodline didn’t even rank prominently in the family...

...

Almost simultaneously with Wang Shouye’s apprenticeship.

In Longzuo County, Purple Mansion Academy.

As a branch of the Lingyun Sacred Land, Purple Mansion Academy holds a transcendent position in Longzuo County, covering a vast area, not only occupying a whole Spirit Mountain Range with numerous spirit veins but also directly naming it "Purple Mansion Sacred Mountain."

Within the Saint Mountain, there are not only various peaks and veins led by several Ascendants of the academy but also various Trial Lands, Herb Gardens, Pill Halls, and Spirit Beast Gardens, along with numerous academy buildings serving various functions.

These functional and diverse architectural groups constitute the fundamental network of the entire academy.

Near the academy’s entrance is an ancient and full of charm architectural group named "Qianqiu Hall."

This Qianqiu Hall is an important administrative institution within the academy, where academy disciples receive and submit academy tasks and exchange materials with academic credits.
