Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 542: Chapter 33: Spirit Tide! The Eruption of Changchun Valley_1

…

Actually, if you look at the whole of Longzuo County, the ordinary disciples in the Academic Palace are far from ordinary.

As the saying goes, “Once you enter the Academic Palace, you’re bound to become a Spirit Platform Realm cultivator”. For the majority of ordinary people, a master of the Spirit Platform Realm like the old ancestor, is already a distinguished figure.

However, since his childhood, the figures Wang Zong’an has come into contact with have all been high-profile individuals.

Within his family, there are numerous Sky Prides and several Great Heavenly Prides, like old ancestor Longyan, his mother Liu Ruolan, and his sister Wang Li Yao.

Furthermore, he believes that his father, Wang Shouzhe, will find a way to further enhance his bloodline…

… Compared to them, Wang Zong’an seems to be just average, not so outstanding.

“An’an, do you happen to be wearing a concealment artifact?” Sister Bai Ling asked curiously, “Your aura seems hazy, and I can’t judge your cultivation level. Could it be that your cultivation is beyond our imagination?”

Just as Wang Zong’an was about to reply, a senior brother from beside him, Yuanmo, interjected, “Sister Bai Ling, don’t let your imagination run wild. If Zong’an has been assigned to the ordinary disciples, his bloodline talent must be just as ordinary. Since he is now sixteen, he is probably at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm.”

Uh…

Wang Zong’an silently withdrew his words.

Nevermind… It’s better not to reveal the truth and challenge their beliefs, after all, he needed to spend a few years in the Academic Palace without drawing too much attention.

Actually, his innate talent was pretty good, starting at the level of Middle Grade Class C. Coupled with the strict training from an early age, the consumption of Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills, and the preemptive use of ‘Primary Bloodline Improvement Fluid’, he was able to enhance his bloodline talent to the level of Top Grade Class C, awakening a second layer of bloodline, Yimu. He was no less gifted than his sister, Lici, when she first entered the Academic Palace.

Last autumn’s hunt, he had sailed through the third trial of the Divine Martial Dynasty recruitment exam. He only fell short of passing the fourth trial, thus failing at that point.

Being able to barely fail against a Spirit Platform Realm demon puppet was already a great accomplishment. After all, he was still less than sixteen at that time, with a short period of cultivating Mysterious Techniques and lacking combat experience. Moreover, ‘Longevity Youth True Verses’ were not known for their offensive power.

However, with his sister Wang Li Yao being a jewel, Wang Zong’an, who was “merely” a Sky Pride, seemed to be “ordinary”.

At this point, he had already peaked at the boundary of the Qi Refining Realm and could break through to the Spirit Platform Realm at any moment.

According to his parents, there was no need for Wang Zong’an to be in a hurry to make the breakthrough to the Spirit Platform Realm as they didn’t lack cultivators of that level in the family. It would be better for him to wait a few years for the family to further develop and seize any opportunity to level up his bloodline before proceeding to the next stage.

After all, while improving from a double to a threefold bloodline in the Qi Refining Realm is difficult, it is still more straightforward than increasing from a threefold to a fourfold bloodline in the Spirit Platform Realm.

The more solid the foundation laid in the early stages, the easier it will be to advance in the latter stages.

“Actually, I mustn’t hide anything from sister and senior brother.” Wang Zong’an shared a bit of the “real situation”, “I am just a young clan leader of a 7th-rank Aristocratic Family, I came to the Academic Palace to learn and gain some knowledge, but I’ll eventually have to go back and take over the family business.”

The young clan leader of a 7th-rank Aristocratic Family?

Sister Bai Ling and senior brother Yuanmo glanced at each other. Although somewhat surprised, they didn’t pay much attention to it.

Indeed, within the Academic Palace, many students come from 7th-rank Aristocratic Families. Even being from a rank six prominent family doesn’t make you special. In the palace, where there are cultivators more potent than you, people wouldn’t treat you preferentially just because you come from a higher-ranked family. After all, the Palace transcends all families.

Both Bai Ling and Yuanmo come from 7th Rank Aristocratic families too, but they are from direct vessels.

“Let’s not talk about that.” Sister Bai Ling said excitedly, “The Spirit Mushrooms under the Longevity Tree are growing excellently this year. It seems like we’ve hit a once-in-several-years spiritual tide! Tonight, let’s line up together so we can pick more mushrooms tomorrow morning.”

Spirit Mushrooms are both delicious and beneficial to one’s Qi and blood. They are excellent Spirit Food. Most importantly, they are free benefits. To most ordinary disciples, having more is only beneficial.

Even some excellent and core disciples will come to pick some free Spirit Mushrooms. However, thanks to the generally good atmosphere of Changchun Valley, those relatively resourceful core disciples will only try a bit instead of taking a lot.

After all, earning points for them is much easier than for ordinary disciples, so they don’t need much spirit food.

“I dug a cellar in my yard and built a small Ice Crystal Treasury out of Ice Crystal Iron ore. We can store what we can’t finish eating in the Ice Crystal Treasury and eat them slowly.” Senior Brother Yuanmo also agreed, “Tonight, let’s team up and try to get more.”

Ice Crystal Treasury?

Wang Zong’an glanced sideways, surprised, to think Senior Brother Yuanmo could also have a “rich man’s” side.

“Ice Crystal Iron” is a rare Heaven and Earth Treasure called the “Ice Crystal Iron Ore”. It is refined and emits a cold energy throughout the year, which can lower the surrounding temperature. It is a high-quality material for creating ice-mysterious artifacts.

Some families with profound backgrounds will use Ice Crystal Iron to create formations and build low-temperature cold storage to store Spirit Food.

Such a cold storage is not only more effective than an ordinary ice pit but also clean and convenient. The only drawback is the high price.

A piece of Ice Crystal Iron the size of a baby’s fist, weighing about one pound, sells for about two thousand Qian Golds in the market. Even if you’re building a miniature Ice Crystal Cold Storage, it would cost at least ten thousand Qian Golds.
