"The Luo River Divine Dragon was a divine beast that once dwelled in the Luo River. It was a member of the Dragon Clan."

Seeing how excited Little Nine Netherbird was, Luo Li gently brushed aside the silver hair by her cheek and softly explained,

"Our royal treasury happens to have some. I brought out a drop of its blood essence."

In truth, Luo Tianshen had given it to her.

According to his expectations, a single drop of divine beast blood essence would be enough for Luo Li to refine for some time and swiftly advance toward the Supreme Realm.

But in Luo Li's view, it would be better used on the Nine Netherbird.

First, relying solely on this divine beast blood essence would still require her to spend quite some time breaking through to the Supreme Realm.

Second, the Nine Netherbird's talent was extraordinary. If it could successfully overcome its tribulation, it would be equivalent to gaining a friend in the Supreme Realm.

On the Northern Heavens Continent, Supreme Realm experts were already among the very strongest.

With a Supreme Realm Nine Netherbird protecting her, Luo Li would be much safer when roaming the Northern Heavens Continent in the future.

Obtaining cultivation resources would clearly become much easier as well.

Of course.

In Luo Li's eyes, the Nine Netherbird belonged to Zhao Chen.

Since it belonged to Zhao Chen, giving it a drop of divine beast blood essence was perfectly natural.

"Nine-leaf Sword Grass, Nine-leaf Sword Grass..."

Little Nine Netherbird could no longer suppress its excitement and hurriedly urged Zhao Chen.

The Luo River Divine Dragon's divine beast blood essence was far purer than that of the Northern Sea Dragon Kun.

However, there was an enormous gap in their cultivation levels.

The former had merely reached the First-grade Supreme Realm, so its blood essence would indeed help Little Nine Netherbird overcome its tribulation.

But if it wanted to be absolutely certain, obtaining the Northern Sea Dragon Kun's divine beast blood essence would be more suitable.

Once Little Nine Netherbird successfully overcame its tribulation, it could greatly shorten the time needed to stabilize its foundation and directly wield Supreme-level power, no weaker than those veteran Supreme Realm experts.

"What about you?"

Zhao Chen looked at the blue crystal-like divine beast blood essence, pondered for a long time, then asked Luo Li.

Having him pass the divine beast blood essence intended for Luo Li straight to Little Nine Netherbird...

Well, that did not seem appropriate.

"I'll be fine."

Luo Li's gaze shifted slightly. If her grandfather found out, he would definitely be furious.

If she refined part of the Luo River Divine Dragon's blood essence, reaching the Late Transforming Heaven Realm or even the Half-step Heavenly Completion Stage should not be a problem.

If she refined it completely, she could definitely reach the Heaven-reaching Realm.

"Grandfather said the clan's resources can all be given to me."

She deliberately added that, lest Zhao Chen worry and refuse.

"How about this?"

After thinking it over, Zhao Chen continued, "Refine the Luo River Divine Dragon's blood essence yourself and raise your strength."

"Then we'll earn enough Spiritual Value and exchange it for the Northern Sea Dragon Kun's blood essence."

Little Nine Netherbird instantly drooped its head, becoming listless.

It would have to wait until they got the Northern Sea Dragon Kun's blood essence before it could undergo its tribulation again.

If it had been in the past, Little Nine Netherbird would definitely have tried to seize the treasure.

But this stunning Silver-haired Girl was from the Luo God Clan.

Even if the Luo God Clan had declined, it was not something one could casually offend.

Especially since Luo Li was a direct descendant of the Luo God Clan's royal family. Like Little Nine Netherbird, her status was extraordinary.

If it truly wanted to rob someone, it would be better to rob someone else.

"Don't worry. It'll be quick."

Noticing Little Nine Netherbird's disappointment, Zhao Chen comforted it. "Luo Li is already at the middle Transforming Heaven Realm. Across the entire Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, there are only a few students stronger than her."

"As long as we complete a few Spiritual Value missions, getting the Northern Sea Dragon Kun's blood essence will be more than easy."

Little Nine Netherbird rolled its eyes at that.

That seemed to be true.

The strongest experts in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy were only at the Supreme Realm.

At present, it had already recovered to the Quasi-Sovereign Stage.

Even in its Black Flame state, it still possessed Heaven-reaching Realm strength.

Helping Luo Li complete Spiritual Value missions should not be difficult.

"Fine, then."

Seeing that Nine-leaf Sword Grass and Little Nine Netherbird had reached an agreement, Luo Li hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing.

Since Zhao Chen had said so, there was no need for her to insist.

After all, she would be the one moving about within the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

If something happened to her, how would one grass and one bird manage?

Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, new student district.

"Miss Luo Li, it is truly wonderful that you chose our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy."

The blue-robed Dean Ta Cang rushed over as soon as he learned that Luo Li had arrived to register.

The Spirit Crown of this year's class had originally seemed beyond the reach of all Five Great Academies.

Who would have thought that not long afterward, Luo Li would actually come to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy?

Dean Ta Cang was both shocked and delighted, decisively coming to receive her in person.

There was no helping it. This was the first time in so many years that the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy had possessed a Spirit Crown genius!

The students of the past had been fairly decent, but compared to the other Five Great Academies, they had still fallen short.

But from this day onward, with Luo Li, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy would shine brightly among the Five Great Academies.

"Dean Ta Cang, you intervened to help me in the Spirit Road. Only then did that Holy Spiritual Academy Tian Sheng fail in his attempt to bully the weak. I should be the one thanking you."

Luo Li had specifically taken a Divine Artifact Qiankun Bracelet from the Luo God Clan that could contain living creatures, placing Nine-leaf Sword Grass, Little Nine Netherbird's black egg, and the flying heavenly beasts Water-Fire Crane and Snow Eagle inside.

Otherwise, Dean Ta Cang would certainly have seen through them.

That would have been troublesome.

"I did not intervene in hopes of receiving your thanks, nor did I hope that you would come to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy."

Dean Ta Cang stroked his beard and said with deep emotion,

"It was merely that Tian Sheng had gone too far. He broke the rules of the Five Great Academies and used his seniority to bully a junior like you, a mere trial participant."

"Of course, I am still very happy that you came to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy."

"This is a first-class pavilion with its own courtyard, located at the core of a Fourth-grade Spirit Gathering Array."

The new student district was divided into east, west, south, and north areas, while accommodations were further divided into first-class, second-class, and third-class.

Ordinary new students lived in third-class accommodations at the edge of the Fourth-grade Spirit Gathering Array.

To move into second-class or even first-class accommodations and enjoy the most abundant spiritual energy of the Fourth-grade Spirit Gathering Array, one needed to spend Spiritual Value.

Second-class accommodations cost one thousand Spiritual Value per month, while first-class accommodations cost two thousand Spiritual Value per month.

Within the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, there were more than a hundred Fourth-grade Spirit Gathering Arrays, over sixty Fifth-grade Spirit Gathering Arrays, twenty Sixth-grade Spirit Gathering Arrays, ten Seventh-grade Spirit Gathering Arrays, and one Eighth-grade Spirit Gathering Array.

This was the foundation of a spiritual academy on the level of the Five Great Academies.

"At present, you are the only new student to register. You may live here without paying any Spiritual Value."

Geniuses would always receive the treatment reserved for geniuses.

Although the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy advocated that cultivation depended on the individual, it would still give special care to a top Spirit Crown genius like Luo Li, unprecedented in its history.

"Besides the Fourth-grade Spirit Gathering Arrays of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, you may use the Fifth-grade and Sixth-grade Spirit Gathering Arrays for free."

With a casual wave of his hand, Dean Ta Cang produced a crystal card shimmering with nine-colored radiance before Luo Li.

Then he continued,

"Ordinary new students receive an appropriate amount of Spiritual Value based on their performance in the entrance examination."

"But you fought your way out of the Spirit Road and secured the Spirit Crown. As a top genius, I have given you one hundred thousand Spiritual Value."

Luo Li was now holding the Nine-Colored Spiritual Value Token. The number displayed on it was indeed one hundred thousand.

"You can exchange it through the Spiritual Value Hall for essence souls, spiritual arts, spiritual artifacts, and more."

Dean Ta Cang smiled and pointed at himself.

"That includes having me or a Heavenly Seat Elder guide your cultivation!"

"Or even protect your path!"

Simply put, as long as one had enough Spiritual Value, the entire Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy could be theirs.

Luo Li nodded and subconsciously inspected the virtual Spiritual Value Hall connected to the Spiritual Value Token.

Then she saw the blood essence of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy's guardian divine beast, the Northern Sea Dragon Kun, priced at...

"Seven million!?"
