Settling In

'I didn't expect it to be Han Yue, what a coincidence!'

Lin Qing couldn't help but marvel at how small the world was. She was only Dou Master now, and it would be more than six years before she could Dou Ling. The Outer Academy was a five-year system, and the Inner Academy was also a five-year system. She could even pay more to repeat a year, so the timing made it all work out. It was quite normal for them to run into each other.

Immediately, Lin Qing spoke solemnly to the girl.

"If you need any Medicinal Pill refined, you can come to the Alchemy Department to find me. Please forgive Lin Qing's inappropriate behavior just now."

"It's okay! Just be more careful when you walk next time!"

Faced with Lin Qing's sincere apology, Han Yue gently shook her head.

Han Yue recalled Lin Qing's mischievous hand gesture, and a charming blush spread across her face.

"Alright then, Professor Ruolin, Han Yue, I still need to go find someone! I'll be going now!"

After Lin Qing left, Han Yue waited until the blush on her face faded slightly before asking with some curiosity:

"Is this mentor really an elder?"

Ruolin carefully put away the Medicinal Pill in her hand and smiled Yanran:

"I have no reason to lie to you! His name is Lin Qing, he's 12 years old, Two-Star Dou King, and a Sixth-Grade Alchemist!"

"So young?"

Han Yue still found it somewhat unbelievable.

"Yes! He's very young! I wonder how he cultivated his skills."

Considering the other person's age, cultivation level, and alchemy skill, one feels a sense of powerlessness. This talent is simply too monstrous. Others of his age are still working hard at home to prepare for breaking through to the Dou Zhe, and only those a little older than him have the opportunity to enter the academy to study. But he came in directly to become an elder!

Furthermore, the Xiao Clan has also produced several promising talents. Could it be that the Xiao Clan is a breeding ground for geniuses?

The thought of Xiao Ding, an S-level genius and a 20-year-old Nine-Star Fighter, made her feel sorry for him; it was Fei Tian.

Although his talent couldn't compare to Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei's, he could still achieve something with hard work. However, it was his own choice, and there was nothing he could do about it. He could only be thankful that Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei stayed.

As soon as Lin Qing entered the campus, he spotted the ethereal and aloof Xiao Yi Xian and the charming and adorable Qing Lin under a large tree, looking around as if searching for something.

"Young master, over here!"

"Brother Lin Qing!"

Upon seeing Lin Qing, the two girls quickly waved and called out to Lin Qing, attracting the attention of some classmates.

When they saw Lin Qing, they felt no jealousy whatsoever; instead, they all thought of the phrase "golden couple."

Lin Qing quickly walked up to the two women.

"How is it? Xiao Yixian, Qing Lin, the academy is alright, isn't it?"

Xiao Yi Xian reached out and took Lin Qing's arm, her eyes crinkling into a smile, "The academy is wonderful, everyone is so welcoming!"

She was quite satisfied with the Jia Nan Academy; at least most of the students were relatively friendly. Of course, she wouldn't mind if some people weren't friendly.

"Many boys came to talk to me and Sister Xian'er, but we ignored them. However, a woman who claimed to be the granddaughter of the vice dean of the outer academy kept bothering Sister Xian'er."

Qing Lin then spoke softly from the side.

Hearing Qing Lin's words, Lin Qing frowned.

He couldn't understand why Hu Gan's granddaughter was a homosexual. It seemed he would have to find an opportunity to talk to Hu Gan and tell him to keep his granddaughter in check. Otherwise, he would have Elder Huo refine Sect-Breaking Pill for him in the future!

Is Xiao Yixian receiving the same treatment as Xun'er now? It's possible, though. Because of the Jade Infant Fruit and the Ice Ancestral Talisman, Xiao Yixian is indeed much more charming than before. She has gained an ethereal and aloof aura, which even he finds incredibly appealing. It's normal for Hu Jia to take a liking to her as well.

Xiao Yixian was already quite beautiful; although not a stunning beauty, she was still quite lovely, especially with her fresh and ethereal temperament and her slender, supple waist, which made her very charming.

"Don't pay any attention to this kind of person anymore! There might be something wrong with her."

Lin Qing pointed to his head and said.

"Oh dear! I also think she's not normal. How could I possibly pay attention to her? But I hope it won't put you in a difficult position?"

Xiao Yi Xian chuckled, but she still looked at Lin Qing with some worry.

Lin Qing shook her head.

"No, the Alchemy Department isn't under his grandfather's jurisdiction, so he can't control me. Let's go eat at the cafeteria first! I'll take you to my Small Courtyard in the academy later."

Upon hearing Lin Qing's answer, Xiao Yi Xian nodded slightly and stopped dwelling on Hu Jia's matter.

Although the two of them could already abstain from food for short periods, Qing Lin, a Six-Star Fighter, could not, so eating was essential.

Moreover, Lin Qing and Xiao Yi Xian were not yet accustomed to fasting.

The three of them went to the cafeteria, bought some dishes, got three servings of rice, and casually found a quiet spot to sit down.

Through his conversation with the two girls, he also gained a preliminary understanding of the academy.

Similar to the Xiao Clan, the canteen at the Jia Nan Academy also has free and paid options. The free options are for orphans adopted by the academy and sponsored students. These people get free meals and receive living expenses. However, the orphans will generally become mentors or elders of the academy in the future. Sponsored students will generally have to do things for the academy for several years before they can leave, and they will have more tasks than usual.

Those who pay are students who attend school at their own expense. They pay tuition fees, and they also pay for their own daily expenses such as food. They also have to perform some tasks, which are similar to those of students receiving financial aid.

However, the tasks were not particularly heavy; they mainly involved gathering Medicinal Herb, hunting Magical Beast, cleaning, and repairing houses.

Of course, the academy also provides training opportunities, such as the Enforcement Squad, or trips to the Magic Beast Forest and Black-Corner Region. These trips are always led by instructors, and the purpose of these training trips is to enhance the students' combat capabilities.

The school's benefits are also quite good. Students who haven't broken through to the Dou Zhe level can choose one Yellow Tier Cultivation Technique and one Dou Technique to learn for free after Dou Zhe. If they don't understand something, they can also attend classes that specifically explain these Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills, but of course, this will cost money.

Of course, the classes will also cover some basic knowledge such as the use of Dou Technique and the cultivation of Cultivation Technique. As long as you have decent talent, you basically don't need to spend money to learn Cultivation Technique and Dou Technique.

Learning Mystic Tier Cultivation Technique and Dou Technique requires completing tasks to obtain them, while Medicinal Pill can be purchased with money, exchanged with Mission Point, or obtained by having alchemists refine Mission Point using the Alchemy Department Medicinal Herb you have prepared.

Of course, some teachers or colleges might give you these opportunities just because they see you have good talent.

However, it's still quite good, at least much better than Misty Cloud Sect.

The Earth Grade Cultivation Technique and Dou Technique weren't mentioned; they're only for those in the top five, and obtaining them requires not only strength and talent but also luck.

When the three returned to the Small Courtyard after finishing their meal, the Lion was meditating cross-legged in the yard. Since the transformed Magical Beast could now cultivate human Cultivation Technique, Lin Qing had copied an Earth-Mid Grade <Fire Phoenix Art> for him on the way to the Jia Nan Academy, based on the Lion's Fire Attribute.

This is why many Magical Beast beasts desperately want to obtain a Transformation Pill.

Untransformed Magical Beast cannot cultivate as fast as transformed Magical Beast. Magical Beast whose ancestors produced Dou Emperor) can at least have a bloodline inheritance, while those that have not produced Dou Emperor rely entirely on the gifts of nature and their bloodline.

Once Magical Beast transforms into human form, with the added advantages of a human body and long lifespan, and by cultivating suitable Cultivation Technique, it can go even further.
