As expected, the outcome of the Spiritual Academy Tournament was that Bing Yu, whose combat power was almost close to the Supreme Realm, led the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy to become the champion of the Spiritual Academy Tournament with an overwhelming advantage. Amidst the cheers, the Spiritual Academy Tournament finally came to an end, and Xiao Han and the others returned to the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy.

"I am Bing Yi the Ice Spirit Race, greetings Elder Xiao."

"We have come to invite Elder Xiao to participate in our clan's Ice God Ceremony."

Upon returning, Bing Yi couldn't wait to arrive at Xiao Han's residence, her anxious demeanor surprising Xiao Han.

"Greetings, Elder Bing Yi."

"Is Elder Bing Yi perhaps afraid that I'll run away?" Xiao Han teased with a smile.

However, a sense of vigilance quietly rose in his heart. Although he had learned about the status of this so-called "Ice God Ceremony" in the Ice Spirit Race through the Bei Ming Long Kun and various ancient books, judging from the other party's attitude, the importance of this Ice God Ceremony should be raised several levels.

Bing Yi, who was unaware of Xiao Han's inner thoughts, felt even more helpless upon hearing this. He also wanted to maintain his status as an ancient clan, but reality wouldn't allow it!

If they come in last place again at this Ice God Ceremony, the consequences are obvious; their lineage will likely never recover.

In the past, they could have easily secured a powerful outsider by gritting their teeth, but now the other branches and the main branch are all waiting for their branch to fall so they can divide up the inheritance, effectively shutting down almost all channels.

Now that a suitable candidate for the Ice God Ceremony has finally been found, if he lets this distinguished guest escape, Bing Yi knows... every time he recalls the murderous intent in the Supreme Elder's eyes...

Traitorous exile, suicide as atonement, triumphant return to his hometown...

Do I even need to explain how to choose among the three paths?

He immediately put on a warm smile.

"I have no objection to when Elder Xiao departs; the departure time is entirely up to your command."

Look, that's attitude!

This is no longer the treatment that so-called VIPs can receive. What does "give orders" even mean?

If it were just an ordinary member of the Ice Spirit Race, such words might be understandable. However, Bing Yi is Elder, and to adopt such a humble attitude is to treat Xiao Han as a master.

The other party was so understanding that even Xiao Han, who didn't care about formalities, was somewhat flattered.

"Elder Bing Yi, you are too polite."

Xiao Han pondered for a moment, then said:

"I imagine the Ice God Ceremony Festival cannot be delayed in the slightest. I will inform the Northern Cang Academy and make some preparations before setting off tomorrow."

"How?"

"No problem." Bing Yi was overjoyed and quickly agreed, inwardly laughing uncontrollably, yet also on the verge of tears of joy? Joy turned to sorrow, and sorrow welled up from within...

"Oh my god, my mission is complete."

Fortunately, Xiao Han did not hear this person's inner thoughts, otherwise he might have been worried about the Elder's mental state.

"Is this really a departure?"

Bei Ming Long Kun stared calmly at the white-clad figure before him, his voice devoid of any emotion.

"Mm." Xiao Han nodded. Along the way, Xiao Han had thought of many farewell words, but in the end, he simply gave up. There would be a long time in the future, and they would meet again someday.

"This is a small gift from me, as a token of my appreciation to Dean Tai Cang and the others."

Then Xiao Han placed his hand on the table in front of him, and the ring on his finger lit up slightly, revealing more than a dozen Jade Bottle.

Bei Ming Long Kun casually opened one of the bottles, twitched its nose slightly a few times, put it back, and then opened the Jade Bottle next to it. It repeated this process twice.

"Wow, the Supreme Heaven Pill and the Spirit Essence Pill, Elder Xiao is indeed generous."

The effects of the Supreme Heaven Pill are self-evident, and the Spirit Essence Pill is no less effective. It can instantly heal all injuries of Supreme Beings below the Supreme Heaven Pill Fifth Rank, making it an absolute life-saving Spiritual Medicine.

And now it's been sent out like this!

"So you didn't give this old man anything good?"

Bei Ming Long Kun smiled, unsure whether he was telling the truth or not. However, Xiao Han rolled his eyes and tossed out a Jade Bottle.

"You'll get your share."

"Dragon Blood Pill contains the essence of True Dragon blood, which can purify the bloodline of Divine Beast beasts with dragon bloodlines."

??!

Staring blankly at the Jade Bottle in his hand, Bei Ming Long Kun was slightly disoriented.

"You actually gave it to me?"

He didn't actually intend to ask for anything. After all, his current cultivation level as an Earthly Supreme being was due to Xiao Han's help. He thought Xiao Han would just laugh it off and let it go, but who would have thought he would actually take it seriously?

"Tell me, what do you want this old man to do this time?"

Bei Ming Long Kun's expression suddenly turned serious. He wasn't afraid of the other party holding a knife to his neck, but he was afraid of the other party smilingly offering him a gift.

"It's nothing, I just want to recruit some people from the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy."

"Hiring?"

Bei Ming Long Kun was stunned. What the hell was this?

"You must have some influence, kid. Just let them handle the recruitment."

"Our Northern Azure Spiritual Academy does not interfere in the future of its students."

Bei Ming Long Kun's tone was slightly serious, as if he regarded Xiao Han as an unscrupulous boss who wanted his mentor to force his students into working in a shady factory.

"Don't worry, it's not that complicated."

Xiao Han explained with a smile, "I just want to set up an office at the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy."

"Office?"

This is a term I've never heard of before.

"Similar to the branches that your Five Great Academies have established all over the Great Thousand World."

I understand.

"You actually want to open that office in the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy?"

Bei Ming Long Kun's tone was surprised, but the hidden anger from before was gone.

He had already understood the general meaning of the office that Xiao Han mentioned; it was nothing more than a means to recruit students.

This has absolutely no impact on the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy and its students; in fact, it could be considered a good thing.

Although there is no precedent for this in the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy, similar cases are not uncommon.

As renowned institutions of higher learning in the Great Thousand World, the Five Great Academies attract countless outstanding talents, and the talents of those selected for the Five Great Academies have already been tested.

Some of them may have been sent here for further study by their families and their respective factions.

However, most of the students are those without any power or with a small amount of backing.

Most of these students from the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy naturally need a place to go after graduation. They may stay at the academy for further studies, travel across the continent, return to their hometowns, or be recruited by powerful forces...

As an academy, the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy does not usually participate in the selection of students' goals, but if the latter can find a good place to go, it will naturally welcome them with open arms.

For this reason, some students at the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy are not only there to study, but also to recruit talent for their own factions, and many students receive invitations.

The Northern Azure Spiritual Academy turned a blind eye to this.

Xiao Han's actions were simply bringing the well-known unspoken rules into the open.

"I don't object to that, but you need to go to Tai Cang and the others to make a decision."

Although Bei Ming Long Kun did not believe that Dean Tai Cang and the others would refuse, as Divine Beast with a transcendent status, he would not interfere too much in such important matters that could affect the academy.

"No problem." Xiao Han didn't mind. He didn't think he couldn't persuade the other high-ranking members of the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy.

"No problem." As expected, Tai Cang and the other high-ranking officials agreed to the request after a brief discussion.

"But we need to agree on three rules."

"The normal order of the academy must not be disrupted; coercive means must not be used; large-scale recruitment of students must be carried out with the presence of academy instructors and Elder."

"No problem."

A year later, an unfamiliar plaque was hung in an inconspicuous corner of the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy, marking the beginning of the academy's campus recruitment.
