Yun Che had no idea that the Wang Family head had experienced an uncannily realistic prophetic dream. He had already returned to Falling Moon Academy and holed up in his room to sort through his spoils.
The best cultivation methods and combat techniques were only Middle-Grade. He had no interest in them and skipped them outright.
The medicinal herbs and precious fruits ranged from low-grade to high-grade, making for a decent haul. In particular, the fruits that could permanently increase his attributes were excellent finds.
What delighted him most, of course, were the three chests of low-grade Spirit Crystals and the small box of Middle-Grade Spirit Crystals: 5,000 low-grade crystals and 100 Middle-Grade ones. These were cultivation resources only King Realm experts could use. Who would have thought a mere Wang Family would have so many stashed away?
Next came the pills, ranging from first to third tier. Most were consumables or pills used for breakthroughs, but they still amounted to a considerable fortune.
As for money, even without counting the silver and copper coins, there were a full sixty thousand gold coins.
That might sound like little, but it was actually a staggering sum. After all, a hundred silver coins were worth just one gold coin.
Ordinary people generally had no use for gold coins. Even Yun Che's most expensive purchase had cost him only a few dozen silver coins.
Of course, that was because he had a talent for getting things for free. If he had needed to buy resources to cultivate, his wallet would probably have been emptied long ago.
Finally, Yun Che took out all the weapons he had acquired and smelted them.
The Fierce Sword Blazing Annihilation successfully upgraded to a supreme-grade treasure, with attack +999.
The Dark Rong Silk Soft Armor also upgraded to a supreme-grade treasure, with defense +999.
That was the limit of what the Blacksmith-brand Great Furnace could produce, which Yun Che found a little disappointing.
Besides those, Yun Che also forged several other weapons and pieces of armor, all of which reached high-grade.
Yun Che could casually produce treasures this precious. If anyone found out, he would undoubtedly become a target for everyone.
"What's this thing?"
Yun Che found the ancient scroll in his game inventory and selected the inspect option, one of the inventory's basic functions.
[Resurrection Scroll (unique special): Write the name of a deceased person and add a drop of their blood to resurrect them immediately.]
Yun Che froze in astonishment, then his face lit up with wild delight.
"To think it's such a priceless treasure! This is an actual extra life!"
But once his excitement passed, Yun Che realized there was a serious problem.
He apparently had no way to use this Resurrection Scroll on himself!
That thought left Yun Che frustrated again.
He had an extra life right there, but he couldn't bind it to himself. That was painful.
"Forget it. Why do I have to assume I'll die? That's such bad luck!"
Early the next morning, Yun Che received one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.
The good news was that he had been appointed Vice Dean and could now attend classes whenever he pleased.
The bad news was that he had to teach a martial arts class once a week.
Unlike before, however, his classes would now be open to the entire academy.
In other words, every time he taught, he would have to teach students from all nine classes at once.
The honor and recognition left Yun Che feeling both flattered and helpless.
Worse still, the Great Yuan imperial family had heard about him, and an envoy was already on the way to Falling Moon.
"Congratulations, boy! A Vice Dean at such a young age."
Old Drunkard seemed to have realized that Yun Che was a lazy fellow who disliked taking on too many responsibilities, and he sounded rather pleased with his predicament.
Yun Che didn't want to talk to him and used Divine Hand on him instead.
"Ding! Successful grab. Congratulations, you obtained one high-grade Spirit Crystal."
The corners of Yun Che's mouth curled upward. That was about the most valuable thing the old man had on him, and now it belonged to Yun Che.
As usual, he also used Divine Hand on little Feng Chu and Amu. Unfortunately, he only grabbed attribute points.
Before Yun Che left, Old Drunkard suggested, "Little Feng Chu is very talented. You don't seem interested in teaching her, so why not let this old man have her as a disciple?"
Yun Che curled his lip. Give you the future number-one fierce sword? Dream on.
Before Yun Che could speak, however, little Young Phoenix, who was cultivating nearby, slashed a streak of sword energy at Old Drunkard.
She snapped, "You old man! I made myself perfectly clear yesterday. I'm not taking you as my master."
Old Drunkard casually flicked the sword energy aside and smiled unconcernedly. "You're still young. You don't understand how precious this opportunity is, and you let your emotions guide you. I understand."
"To tell you the truth, this old man is a late-stage King Realm expert. If you inherit my true teachings, your strength will advance by leaps and bounds."
Little Young Phoenix's eyes widened slightly in surprise, but that was all.
She looked firmly at Yun Che and retorted defiantly, "So what if you're a King Realm expert? You've just cultivated a few years longer than Master. I believe my master will surpass you before long. Hmph!"
Old Drunkard shook his head slightly. He treated such unrealistic words as nothing more than a joke and laughed them off.
"It's all right. This old man can afford to wait. Whenever you want to become stronger, just come to me."
"Hmph! I don't want to be the disciple of a decrepit old man like you. My master will give me even greater power."
Little Feng Chu was stubborn. Although she knew her words were somewhat ridiculous and unrealistic, she had only said them to protect Yun Che's dignity.
Yun Che smiled gently. Since the little girl had gone that far, he would seem cowardly if he still refused to step forward.
He walked over to little Young Phoenix, stroked her head, and addressed Old Drunkard, who was reading a storybook in his rocking chair.
"Your inheritance may be good, but I don't think it suits her very well."
With that, Yun Che took out the Class Change Scroll shimmering with seven-colored light and handed it to little Young Phoenix.
"Don't worry. Since you trust your master so much, how could I possibly disappoint you?"
"I originally planned to give you this gift after you broke through to the acquired realm."
"But you've already reached the peak of the body tempering realm, so your breakthrough should be close. I might as well give it to you early!"
Little Young Phoenix accepted the Class Change Scroll in a daze, though she didn't really understand what it was.
But from the old man's expression, which went from shock to utter shock to overwhelming shock, she could tell that what her master had given her must be extremely precious.
"Thank you, Master. I'll break through to the acquired realm as soon as possible. I won't disappoint you."
Whoosh!
Supersonic speed!
Old Drunkard moved so fast that even Yun Che was left marveling.
He snatched the seven-colored scroll from little Young Phoenix's hands and opened it with trembling fingers.
The next instant, an extremely hoarse, low voice filled with disbelief escaped his lips.
"G-Great Emperor Inheritance Scroll!"
"You actually possess such a rare inheritance!"
Yun Che snatched it back from him, handed it to Feng Chu again, and had her use it on the spot.
Although Feng Chu couldn't successfully change classes before breaking through to the acquired realm, she could still use it in advance.
Once she broke through, the information about the Flame Dragon Saintess would automatically appear in her mind.
Yun Che glanced at Old Drunkard, who looked as miserable as someone suffering from constipation, and smiled. "Don't get any funny ideas, old man. You should know this thing can't be restored. Once it's used, there's no changing it."
"Ah! You boy... you really are willing to part with it!"
Old Drunkard sighed helplessly, settled back into his rocking chair, and resumed reading his little erotic storybook.
Just then, Ye Qingshuang happened to arrive at the courtyard entrance and spoke to Yun Che.
"I heard from Elder Huang that you're planning to go to the Eastern Sea!"
"I happen to have some business in the Eastern Sea too. Shall we go together?"
