"No, perhaps my Heaven-Defying Luck had been triggered in secret."
"Otherwise, it couldn't have been such a coincidence."
"There was no need to investigate how this person had died."
In the end, Li Fei figured it out.
There was nothing else in the Storage Ring, only a pile of Gold Soul Coins.
After counting them, there were roughly ten thousand Gold Soul Coins.
Adding the thousand he had obtained earlier, he now had a full eleven thousand Gold Soul Coins in cash.
If the ring in his hand was included, his wealth would be even greater.
With a capacity of thirty cubic meters, it was not only rare in this era, but also extremely expensive.
Unfortunately, unless it was a last resort, he would absolutely never sell it.
With a Storage Ring, things would be much more convenient for him.
He immediately put the thousand Gold Soul Coins he had been carrying, along with his graduation certificate and recommendation letter from Notting Academy, into it.
As for the snake's corpse, it could also serve as fertilizer.
He controlled the Willow Branch to wrap around it, ignited blazing flames, burned it to ashes, and began absorbing the energy within.
The Willow Branch became even more full of vitality.
"My injuries are healed."
"What kind of Soul Master are you?"
"You can fight, control, and even heal?"
"You're only a Two Ring Soul Master. How can you do so much?"
As time passed, the six girls wrapped in the Willow Branch were also fully healed.
The unconscious Xiao An woke up as well. Only after listening to her sisters did she understand how perilous the situation had just been, and the hairs on her back stood on end.
When she heard that Li Fei had made a move in time, she immediately looked at him with gratitude and curiosity.
In the end, all Seven Women developed favorable impressions of Li Fei.
The feelings among the eight of them gradually grew warmer.
Led by Li Fei, they ventured deeper into the cave and eventually found an exit leading elsewhere.
After emerging, they were greeted by bright sunshine that felt quite pleasant.
"This cave really does have another exit. As long as we keep going, there's still a way to survive. It's just that Soul Beast—it's rather difficult to deal with."
The girl murmured.
Next, they arrived at a small town, bought several horses, and quickly headed toward Plant Academy.
This time, Li Fei's greatest gains from going to save them were the thirty-cubic-meter Storage Ring and ten thousand Gold Soul Coins.
One day later!
Under the guidance of Enjing and the women, they took a shortcut for an entire day and soon arrived at the Jadeite Forest in the southeastern part of the Heaven Dou Empire.
At the edge of the Jadeite Forest stood a large green city.
Three large characters were written on the plaque.
Plant City!
Within a radius of a hundred kilometers, there was only this one city!
There were quite a few small towns and villages along the way.
They all survived by relying on Plant City.
They were also Plant City's primary source of income.
Upon entering Plant City, all kinds of plants could be seen everywhere.
The people's buildings were all green and constructed from plants, blending fully with vegetation and nature in harmonious coexistence.
"In Plant City, nearly everyone's Martial Soul is a plant. Even if it isn't a plant, it is still related to plants."
"This has always been our tradition."
"Everyone inherits the plant-bloodline Martial Souls of their parents."
"Plant Academy is the only Advanced Soul Master Academy here, as well as the Holy Land of cultivation that Plant Soul Masters yearn for..."
"Plant Academy follows a three-year system. After three years, as long as your cultivation reaches the minimum standard of a Three Ring Soul Elder, you can apply to graduate. Of course, those truly unwilling to leave may also join Plant Academy permanently and become instructors. In the future, they can rise to positions such as Team Leader, director, vice headmistress, and so on."
"Or they can join Plant City's garrison."
"As long as you are willing to stay, you will basically be assigned a position."
Along the way, many people looked at Enjing and the others. Enjing and the women warmly greeted them while explaining things to Li Fei.
Li Fei's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
He became increasingly eager to join Plant Academy.
In the Original Book, Plant Academy was merely a supporting faction. It only appeared once during the Soul Master Tournament, where it was toyed with by Ma Hongjun's flames.
But this was a genuine otherworld. Although Plant Academy had not entered the ranks of the Five Great Element Academies, it was still the strongest elemental academy beneath those five. Its heritage was ancient, and its teaching standards and resources were abundant.
Moreover, this was still the era of Qian Xunji.
He did not hope to change anything. He only wanted to properly experience this hard-won new life. In this lifetime, he wanted to enjoy himself and pursue the pinnacle of the Godly Dao!
As they chatted, the group soon arrived before Plant Academy.
Outside the Headmaster Office, Enjing led the women inside to report on their mission and what they had encountered along the way.
At the same time, she explained Li Fei's talent and his desire to join Plant Academy.
The headmistress of Plant Academy was a gentle, beautiful woman. Upon learning that Li Fei's Martial Soul was a Plant Willow Tree, that he cultivated so quickly, had reached Level Twenty and become a Soul Grandmaster at such a young age, and had even saved her seven students, she became extremely interested. She immediately agreed and invited Li Fei into the office for a detailed discussion.
Enjing informed Li Fei of the good news, and he entered the office, where he met Plant Academy's Headmistress.
According to the latest information he had learned, Plant Academy's Headmistress was a powerful Soul Saint who had just entered Seven Rings!
She was far beyond what Li Fei could contend with right now.
Li Fei politely cupped his hands in salute. "Junior Li Fei greets Headmistress."
The Beautiful Woman looked Li Fei over from head to toe. Whether it was his conduct or his appearance, she was extremely satisfied.
"Hello, Li Fei. I am Su Ru, the current headmistress of Plant Academy! Thank you for saving my students. On behalf of all Plant Academy, I solemnly thank you! Plant Academy will remember this favor!"
"I also approve of your joining Plant Academy!"
"May I see your Martial Soul?"
The Beautiful Woman spoke gently.
"Of course."
Li Fei nodded.
He revealed the Yin Yang Willow.
Along with two yellow Century Soul Rings.
Seeing this, the Beautiful Woman's eyes lit up.
"If I'm not mistaken, this shouldn't be your Martial Soul's original form!" Su Ru said.
Enjing and the others were all curious.
Li Fei was stunned. He had not expected her to be so perceptive.
"Our Plant Academy has dealt with plants our entire lives and studied plants for generations. Across the entire continent, no one understands plants better than we do, knows plants better than we do, or is more professional than we are." Su Ru said with a smile.
"That's right!"
"My Martial Soul was originally just an ordinary Willow Tree, and my Innate Soul Power was only Level One."
"When I obtained my First Soul Ring, I hunted a Yin Yang Flower. It mutated into a Brand New product, which I call the Yin Yang Willow..."
Li Fei did not hide anything and told her about his circumstances.
At the same time, he convincingly explained his own views on Martial Souls.
Taking the opportunity, he handed Su Ru the recommendation letter from Nottingham Soul Master Academy.
Su Ru opened it and was greatly shocked.
It was not only her; Enjing and the others were as well.
What shocked them was not merely Li Fei's extensive knowledge, but also the fact that, with an ordinary Willow Martial Soul and only Level One Innate Soul Power, he had reached his current level at such a young age through his own exploration!
A Level Twenty Soul Grandmaster!
How many people were stuck as One Ring Soul Masters, unable to advance!
In this world, high-level Soul Masters had always been few!
Li Fei's theories completely overturned their established understanding of Soul Beast Martial Souls and Innate Soul Power!
Enjing and the others admired Li Fei even more.
Su Ru was the same. She knew she could no longer judge Li Fei through the eyes of an ordinary person.
Because Li Fei had tested it on himself, providing proof through human experimentation!
It worked!
Plant Academy had truly found a treasure this time.
Even the Headmistress herself looked at Li Fei with a trace of admiration.
