Protect Our Chief-Chapter 542 - 33: Spirit Tide! The Eruption of Eternal Spring Valley
...
In fact, if you look at the entire Longzuo County, the ordinary disciples of the Academy are not really ordinary.
As the saying goes, "Once you enter the Academy, you will certainly become a Spirit Platform." For most ordinary people, Ancestor Spirit Platform is already a high and mighty figure.
It’s just that Wang Zong’an grew up surrounded by people of very high standing.
In the clan, Little Celestial Prides are common, and the number of Celestial Prides is also not low. Ancestor Longyan, his mother Liua Ruolan, and his sister Wang Liyao are all at the Great Celestial Pride Level.
Moreover, he believes that his father Wang Shouzhe will also find a way to further enhance his bloodline...
In comparison, Wang Zong’an seems "ordinary" and not particularly outstanding.
"Junior Brother An’an, are you wearing a Concealing Breath Treasure?" Senior Sister Bai Ling asked curiously, "I see your aura is hazy, and I can’t determine your cultivation level. Could it be that your cultivation level exceeds our imagination?"
Just as Wang Zong’an was about to speak, Senior Brother Yuan Mo interjected, "Junior Sister Bai Ling, don’t let your imagination run wild. I think Junior Brother Zong’an, now that he has been assigned to the ordinary disciple category, probably has average bloodline talent. He is most likely at the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Realm at sixteen."
Uh...
Wang Zong’an silently held back his words.
Forget it~ Better not to reveal the truth and dampen their spirits, as he needs to maintain a low-key presence at the Academy for a few years.
In fact, his innate talent is quite good, having reached Middle Grade C from the start. Furthermore, he has been strictly trained from a young age, has taken the Bone Marrow Purify Pill, and even "borrowed" a dose of Basic Bloodline Improvement Liquid. Under various conditions, his bloodline talent has already been elevated to Upper Grade C and awakened the second layer Wood Bloodline, not any less impressive than his Sister Lici when she first entered the Academy.
During last year’s autumn and winter hunting season, he easily cleared the third level at the Divine Martial Dynasty’s recruitment trial ground, only narrowly failing the fourth level.
To almost defeat a Spirit Platform Realm demon puppet is already quite formidable. After all, at that time, he wasn’t yet sixteen, had only been cultivating his profound skill for a short period, had limited combat experience, and the "Eternal Spring True Technique" wasn’t strong in offense.
However, with his sister Wang Liyao as a precedent, Wang Zong’an being "just" at the Celestial Pride level made him seem somewhat "ordinary."
At this moment, he was actually at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, capable of breaking through to the Spirit Platform Realm at any time.
According to his parents, since the family doesn’t lack him being at the Spirit Platform Realm, there’s no need to rush the breakthrough. After the clan develops further in a few years, if an opportunity arises, perhaps he could boost his bloodline once more before advancing.
After all, elevating a second layer bloodline to third during the Qi Refining Realm is very difficult, but simpler compared to raising a third to fourth at the Spirit Platform Realm.
The stronger the foundation at the beginning, the easier it is later on.
"Actually, I won’t hide it from Senior Sister and Senior Brother." Wang Zong’an revealed some "truth" and said, "I’m just a Young Clan Leader of a Seventh-Grade Noble Family, here to learn at the Academy through some connections. I’ll have to return to inherit the family business eventually."
Young Clan Leader of a Seventh-Grade Noble Family?
Senior Sister Bai Ling and Senior Brother Yuan Mo exchanged a glance, and although they were a little surprised, they didn’t pay too much attention.
In fact, there are many from Seventh-Grade Noble Families at the Academy, and quite a few from direct lineages come here for gilding. Don’t mention Seventh Grade, even those from Sixth-Grade Noble Families are regarded similarly. When your cultivation foundation is stronger than others, they won’t give way to you just because you come from a Sixth-Grade Noble Family. After all, the Academy is the Academy, meant to be superior to noble families.
Senior Sister Bai Ling and Senior Brother Yuan Mo also come from Seventh-Grade Noble Families, but they are from direct veins.
"Let’s not talk about that." Senior Sister Bai Ling said with slight excitement, "The spirit mushrooms under the Longevity Tree are growing exceptionally well this year, probably because of the spirit tide that occurs once every few years. Tonight, let’s line up together, so we can collect another batch of spirit mushrooms in the morning."
Spirit mushrooms are delicious and aid in nurturing blood and energy, making them excellent spiritual food. Most importantly, they are a free benefit, which is absolutely welcome by the majority of ordinary disciples.
Even many excellent disciples and core disciples would come to pick some free spirit mushrooms. However, due to the positive atmosphere in Eternal Spring Valley, those core disciples who don’t lack resources just want a taste and won’t take too many.
After all, they earn academic credits much easier than ordinary disciples and don’t particularly lack spiritual food.
"I’ve dug a cellar in my courtyard and made a small ice crystal library with Ice Crystal Iron. We can store any extras in there and eat them slowly." Senior Brother Yuan Mo agreed, "Tonight, we’ll team up to gather more."
Ice crystal library? 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Wang Zong’an slightly glanced sideways, surprised that Senior Brother Yuan Mo had a "wealthy" side.
"Ice Crystal Iron" is a rare Heavenly and Earthly Treasure smelted from "Ice Crystal Iron Ore," which constantly emits ice energy and reduces the surrounding temperature, making it an excellent material for crafting Profound Ice Element spiritual artifacts.
Some deeply rooted families use Ice Crystal Iron to set up arrays, creating low-temperature cold storage for preserving spiritual food.
Such a cold storage doesn’t just outperform ordinary ice cellars but is also clean and convenient, with the only drawback being its high cost.
A piece of Ice Crystal Iron the size of an infant’s fist, weighing about one pound, sells for approximately two thousand Qian Gold in the market. Even creating a miniature ice crystal cold storage would cost at least ten thousand Qian Gold.
