Pay Up?

The other two entries were too useless for Qin Yu.

The idea of accumulating strength and then unleashing it later, resulting in a doubling of the late-game breakthrough benefits, sounds good, but the debuffs are too significant.

He himself had no special bloodline or background; his current cultivation speed was increased by utilizing the effects of the abbreviation.

If it drops another 30%, what's the point of memorizing anything?

The other Demon Phoenix Legacy Bloodline is even less relevant. If it were Ancient Heavenly Phoenix or Ancient Dragon-Phoenix, it might be somewhat interesting, but Heavenly Demon Phoenix...

They're not even Ancient Void Dragon, what use are their bloodlines? Go back to the academy, enter the Inner Academy, and then go fight Zi Yan?

Definitely choose the Golden Kidney Warrior!

In an instant, a warm force began to spread from Qin Yu's lower back, along his spine, and throughout his limbs and bones. The whole process took less than ten seconds.

But Qin Yu could clearly feel that his physical condition was much better than when he had just broken through to the Dou Ling.

"Why are you laughing?"

The voice of Xiao Yi Xian came from the side.

Qin Yu snapped out of his daze and realized that he had unknowingly developed a wide grin.

"Nothing, I just think the weather is nice today."

"... You've had your eyes closed the whole time, how did you know the weather was nice?"

"I could tell from my senses."

Xiao Yi Xian rolled her eyes, deciding not to pay him any attention.

The Griffin Beast swept across a mountain range, and in the distance, the outline of a massive city gradually became clear.

The group landed in Canaan City at dusk.

Instructor Ruo Lin arranged for the new students to move into the dormitories provided by the college first, and they will formally complete the enrollment procedures tomorrow.

After Qin Yu and Xiao Yi Xian jumped off the Griffin Beast, Ruo Lin came over.

"You should go see the vice president about your matter as soon as possible."

"I know, I'll go now."

Qin Yu, accompanied by Xiao Yi Xian, headed straight into the academy and easily made his way to the office building of Vice Dean Hu Gan.

Xiao Yi Xian walked beside him, her steps slowing down, but her heartbeat quickening.

"Qin Yu... what if they... disagree?"

Xiao Yi Xian clenched the hem of her clothes, her voice pitifully weak.

"You haven't even talked to them yet, and you're already making decisions for them?"

Qin Yu quickened his pace, took Xiao Yi Xian's hand, and walked forward.

The two walked through a long corridor and looked up to see the familiar building.

The office building lights were on.

Qin Yu led Xiao Yi Xian up the steps, took a deep breath in front of the door, and knocked on the door.

Knock, knock, knock.

There was a two-second silence inside, followed by a strong, resonant voice:

"Come in."

Qin Yu pushed open the door.

Hu Gan was sitting behind his desk reviewing files when he heard footsteps. He looked up and saw Qin Yu, and his pen stopped moving the moment he saw him.

"You're a good kid... not bad, you're back on time."

He put down his pen, leaned back in his chair, and glanced at Qin Yu from head to toe. Just as a smile was about to appear on his lips, he was stopped by the fluctuations of Dou Qi emanating from Qin Yu.

Hu Gan sat up straight and examined him carefully.

"Dou Ling?"

"Um."

Qin Yu gave a brief but affirmative response.

Hu Gan scratched his head, which was almost balding, and decided to put the topic aside for the time being, shifting his gaze to Xiao Yi Xian behind Qin Yu.

"And this is...?"

"Xiao Yi Xian, I want her to enter the academy for life and cultivation."

Qin Yu stepped aside and pulled Xiao Yi Xian closer.

"Hello, Vice President."

Xiao Yi Xian lowered her head and bowed to Hu Gan.

Hu Gan. The fluctuations of his Dou Qi at the Da Dou Shi level were very clear. Judging from his age, he looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old.

He looked at Qin Yu with some confusion:

"Students of this caliber should have just enrolled; why did you come all the way here to see me?"

"There are some special circumstances surrounding her, and I think... I need to explain them to you."

Hu Gan raised his chin, signaling him to continue.

"She... has a special constitution."

Qin Yu paused for a moment, then said it directly:

"Woeful Poison Body"

There was a two-second silence in the office.

Hu Gan's expression gradually tightened, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Woeful Poison Body?"

Hu Gan stared at Xiao Yi Xian for several seconds, only managing to utter four words.

Xiao Yi Xian stood there, feeling a chill rush straight to the top of her head.

She had imagined many possible outcomes, but the moment the words "Hu Gan" were uttered, she was still incredibly saddened.

The implication is clear: Qin Yu brought a Woeful Poison Body to the academy; what about the safety of the students?

"You're really something, kid. How did you manage to meet a girl with this kind of physique?"

Unexpectedly, the next second, Hu Gan as if nothing had happened, stood up and walked over to the two of them, even laughing and joking with Qin Yu.

Judging from his expression... my earlier thought seems a bit off.

"Miss, please sit outside for a while. I need to have a chat with Qin Yu."

"... good."

Xiao Yi Xian was a little taken aback, but she still turned around and went out the door, gently closing it behind her.

The moment the door closed, Hu Gan raised his hand and waved it, creating a soundproof barrier that covered the entire room, even sealing the window cracks tightly.

"Now it's just you and me, you better tell me the truth."

"How... how are you going to explain this? I am..."

Qin Yu was somewhat puzzled by Hu Gan's reaction, but he simply explained the situation in detail.

Judging from his expression, it seems he's actually quite curious about the Woeful Poison Body?

"Qin Yu, you should know what the consequences of the Woeful Poison Body erupting are, right?"

"I know."

Qin Yu nodded, Hu Gan continued:

"So I understand your concerns, but this girl is only Da Dou Shi."

"With her current strength, even if the Woeful Poison Body really erupts, it won't be difficult to deal with."

It's obvious to anyone with eyes to see what the relationship is between Qin Yu and Xiao Yi Xian.

The Woeful Poison Body is indeed a problem, but Woeful Poison Body at the Da Dou Shi level...

To be honest, if Jia Nan Academy can't even handle this, all those Dou Wang and Dou Emperor might as well just self-destruct!

"However, once her cultivation level reaches the level of Dou Wang or above, she will have to leave the academy."

Although the college could handle it, for the sake of the students' safety, Hu Gan still drew a line for Qin Yu.

So you mean... you agree to let her stay temporarily?

Qin Yu asked tentatively, feeling that things weren't going according to plan.

"This is just one point. You've added extra work for the faculty, which is really..."

As he spoke, Hu Gan rubbed his hands together and raised an eyebrow at Qin Yu.

"Do I have to pay more?"

"Hey! That's right!"

Seeing that Qin Yu was so cooperative, Hu Gan patted him on the shoulder with great satisfaction.

"... You should have said you wanted more money earlier, look how scared that girl is."

Qin Yu rolled his eyes and tossed a jade bottle to Hu Gan.

"What is it?"

See for yourself.

Hu Gan suspicion, uncorked it, and peeked inside.

Three perfectly round pills lay quietly in the bottle, exuding a rich medicinal fragrance and of excellent quality.

"A fourth-grade elixir?"

Hu Gan could tell the grade of the elixir just by smelling it.

Who made it?

"I."

"Ah?"
