The next day, Ling Yi arrived at school early.
Seeing Wang Daquan's dark circles, Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, "You didn't sleep at all last night, did you?"
" Honor of Kings Canyon, Combat until dawn!" Wang Daquan said casually.
Upon hearing this, those around Wang Daquan immediately showed expressions of disdain.
The Spiritual Power test is coming up soon, and instead of using this time to cultivate, you're playing games?
It's hopeless.
Wang Daquan was already used to the looks and expressions of those around him, so he didn't care at all.
As for whether she genuinely doesn't care or is just pretending, she definitely does care.
A person lives for their reputation, just as a tree lives for its bark. No matter how much Wang Daquan tried to pretend, the sadness in his eyes was undeniable.
However, no brainless idiots came to Taunt or provoke anyone.
Reality isn't fiction; there aren't that many idiots in reality.
Ling Yi knew that Wang Daquan was talking nonsense about the Honor of Kings Canyon.
He was probably thinking about the black market, or perhaps he was worried about the upcoming Spiritual Power test.
Without the Qi Gathering Pill, for ordinary people like them, the Immortal Path is completely cut off.
Clearly, Wang Daquan wasn't as carefree as he appeared on the surface.
The two classes in the morning covered the basics of elixirs and Formation.
After class, Ling Yi and Wang Daquan left the school immediately, only to run into their homeroom teacher, Gao Xiaoshuai, at the school gate.
"Why aren't you all training properly at school? What are you running around for?" Gao Xiaoshuai frowned.
Gao Xiaoshuai naturally felt a strong aversion to this Fledgling Phoenix.
If it weren't for them, obtaining the outstanding teacher certification wouldn't have been so difficult.
It's not that Gao Xiaoshuai isn't a good teacher.
But everyone has selfish desires, Gao Xiaoshuai is no exception.
"Although your Spiritual Root aptitude is a bit lacking!" Gao Xiaoshuai said, hands behind his back, bending over as he looked at the two of them.
Seeing that expression, Ling Yi knew things were going to get bad.
This is Gao Xiaoshuai's signature move when he activates his "Spit Star" mode.
really...
"However, you cannot give up on yourselves because of this. There are many people with poor Spiritual Root who have become strong. Even if you fail in the end, at least you tried and have no regrets..."
Gao Xiaoshuai launched into a long, rambling monologue, talking to Ling Yi and the others for a full half hour before finally letting them go.
"I feel like my health bar is about to be depleted, it's terrifying, like Tang Sanzang reciting the Tightening-Headband Headband-Tightening Spell," Wang Daquan said, his face pale.
Ling Yi smiled wryly; Gao Xiaoshuai's attack was indeed a bit too much for them to handle.
But it's true that they were the ones who dragged others down, so there's not much to say.
Ling Yi knew very well how important this excellent teacher certification was to Gao Xiaoshuai; it could be said to concern Gao Xiaoshuai's future prospects.
It's understandable to recoup some emotional value from people's comments.
After leaving the school, the two headed straight for a nearby shopping mall.
When they came out, each of them was carrying a black plastic bag.
It contains the equipment we'll need tonight.
A black hooded trench coat and a mask.
This is Gao Xiaoshuai's suggestion.
The first thing to do when going to the black market is to conceal your identity.
The black market is a mixed bag, and revealing their identities would be extremely unwise. If a local thief were to appear and try to steal their treasure, the two of them, little Karami, would be left with nothing.
Although I've heard of the black market, everyone says that the black market in Dafeng City is very safe and has official backing.
But that's just hearsay; there are things you haven't heard of, aren't there?
Ling Yi thought it made sense, which is why he bought the entire set of equipment by himself.
Afterwards, the two went to the bank.
Ling Yi exchanged 500,000 yuan for five Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
That's right, the banks in this world support direct exchange of Spirit Stone for Ancient Country Currency.
However, there is a price difference.
The exchange rate for Ancient Country Currency is 110,000 to 1 Spirit Stone, while the exchange rate for Spirit Stone is 1 Spirit Stone to 90,000 Ancient Country Currency.
The difference is only 20,000.
But there's nothing we can do; that's their exchange rate.
This is true not only for Ancient Country, but also for other countries.
This also proves that Spirit Stone are not a scarce resource, since they can be exchanged for cash with no upper limit.
The black market does not accept cash transactions, only Spirit Stone stones, which is the main reason why Ling Yi wanted to exchange for Spirit Stone.
Wang Daquan also exchanged for two Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
Seeing the conflicted and pained expression on Wang Daquan's face, it seemed that this money was all the family could afford.
"No, where did you get so much money?" Wang Daquan was Dawei to see Ling Yi exchange five Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
"I sold three Qi Gathering Pill, each for 200,000."
"Wo Cao, are you crazy? If the school finds out, you're finished! This is like being forced to work on a sewing machine!"
That's right, it's illegal for the school to sell free Qi Gathering Pill to people outside the school.
This is not just a rule of Ling Yi's school, but also written into the law.
Not only did the sellers of the Qi Gathering Pill have to operate sewing machines, but the buyers also had to operate sewing machines.
The free Qi Gathering Pill distributed by the state are strictly prohibited from being circulated outside of schools.
Because there were people who specifically robbed students of their Qi Gathering Pill, many outstanding students with Upper Third Pin Spiritual Root couldn't even get into the middle class.
The authorities have taken a very strong stance against this matter.
"It wasn't sold to anyone outside the school; it was sold to the school's students."
"Oh, that's good!" Wang Daquan breathed a sigh of relief.
Free Qi Gathering Pill are not allowed to be sold off-campus, but trading them on campus is not recommended by the official authorities and the school, but they will not interfere much either.
After all, it's your own business if you're willing to give up your future.
As long as the Qi Gathering Pill eventually returns to the students and is used by them, that's fine.
"Who did you sell it to?" Wang Daquan asked curiously.
"I promised them I couldn't tell!"
"So mysterious, and besides, I don't want to know!"
"Are you sure you want to cultivate and not play in the canyon with me?" Wang Daquan was a little confused when he saw Ling Yi sitting cross-legged to cultivate at Ling Yi's house.
No, it's one thing for respectable people to copy others' techniques, but you, with a barely passable, trashy Spiritual Root, are trying to copy them?
What should I do then?
"Didn't Old Gao say that every little bit helps, just in case MU Online happens?" Ling Yi said, making things up.
You actually believe Old Gao's nonsense?
Ling Yi didn't waste any more words. He casually uttered a few sentences and then sat cross-legged to begin cultivating the Blood Spirit Art.
Seeing this, Wang Daquan's expression became somewhat complicated. Then, he turned around and sat down not far from Ling Yi, beginning his cultivation.
We can't expect Ling Yi to actually go play games while he's cultivating, can we?
No wonder it's impossible to play like that.
What if Ling Yi's Spiritual Power really increased? Wouldn't I be devastated?
This is a classic case of being afraid of one's brother suffering hardship, yet also afraid of him driving a Land Rover.
Ling Yi breathed a sigh of relief after sensing that his Qi and Blood could Transport normally.
As long as the meridians are not damaged, it's fine; otherwise, it would be a huge loss.
As for why he didn't teach the Blood Spirit Art to Wang Daquan, one reason was that Ling Yi wasn't sure about the Blood Spirit Art's side effects.
Everything seems to be going smoothly now, but who knows if there are any other potential side effects?
Let's practice for a while longer, and then we'll see if there are any side effects.
Another issue is that Ling Yi can't explain where the Blood Spirit Art came from. He can't exactly say that he Copy it from Gao Xiaoshuai, can he?
He naturally couldn't tell anyone about his cheat ability.
The third issue is whether Wang Daquan is trustworthy.
If the Blood Spirit Art truly has no side effects, then its value is extremely high.
It can convert Qi and Blood into Spiritual Power, which is equivalent to reopening a Great Dao for many ordinary people whose Immortal Path was originally cut off.
Even if the Blood Spirit Art is exposed in the future, it cannot be revealed through me.
Although Ling Yi and Wang Daquan have a good relationship, can Wang Daquan withstand the test of enormous profits?
Human surnames are the most vulnerable thing to the test of time.
Lastly, there's still time; there's still a year left!
If Wang Daquan is trustworthy, then even if Wang Daquan doesn't cultivate the Blood Spirit Art until June of next year, it's still within reach.
Having completed the first cycle of Qi and Blood circulation, Ling Yi glanced at Wang Daquan, who was still cultivating, and while eating the Demonic Beast meat, considered his next plan.
First, there's the issue of the sudden surge in Spiritual Power.
If there's no problem with the Blood Spirit Art, then he needs to increase his Spiritual Power by 2 points every day.
There is still exactly one year until June of next year. A year has 365 days, which is 730 points of Spiritual Power.
10 points of Spiritual Power Qi Refining Realm, 100 points is the Spiritual Power Foundation Establishment Realm, and over 700 points of Spiritual Power is the Late Foundation Establishment.
No one has ever reached the Foundation Establishment Realm before the middle class.
As the saying goes, "The tallest tree in the Lin Feng."
This world is not safe.
Since the revival of Spiritual Qi, secret realms have also appeared.
For humanity, the hidden realm is both a treasure trove of resources and a source of disaster.
Every year, dozens of dungeon invasions occur worldwide; small-scale dungeon invasions are relatively easy to handle.
However, a medium-sized secret realm invasion is equivalent to the destruction of City Grade, while a large-scale secret realm invasion is a disaster that could wipe out a nation.
Historically, there was a large-scale invasion from the secret realms that almost swept across the entire East Continent.
Humans fought against the Mutant Beast for a hundred years before finally emerging victorious.
Besides the invasion of secret realms, there are also all sorts of messy cults.
For example, there is the Otherworldly Altered Spirit Cult, which specializes in stealing Human Spirit roots and supernatural abilities, and the Demon Emperor Cult, which collaborates with Great Demon in secret realms and acts as traitors to humans.
A genius who specializes in killing humans.
And then there's the Black Demonic Cult, composed entirely of psychopaths.
In short, this world is dangerous.
If the news of Ling Yi's sudden increase in Spiritual Power were to get out, it would inevitably lead to all sorts of trouble.
But does that mean we should stop cultivating the Blood Spirit Art?
That's naturally impossible.
But Ling Yi didn't have a good idea of how to do it right away.
"Wo Cao, didn't you say you were cultivating? Why are you eating?" Wang Daquan's voice suddenly rang out.
Ling Yi rolled her eyes. "Eat if you're hungry, what's the problem?"
"Eating when you're hungry is fine, but what the hell are you eating? Is it Demonic Beast meat? Are you being this extravagant now? Or are you thinking of transferring to Martial Practitioner academy?"
"I have immortality to cultivate, why would I enroll in Martial Practitioner academy? Are you even interested?"
"Of course I'll eat it!" Wang Daquan grabbed a piece of Demonic Beast meat and started gnawing on it.
"The situation at the Martial Practitioner academy isn't actually much better than that of cultivators. It's a case of 'the poor study literature, the rich study martial arts,' meaning that Martial Practitioner need just as many resources to achieve something as cultivators."
"I know." Ling Yi shook his head.
He turned around and went back to cultivating the Blood Spirit Art.
Martial Practitioner and cultivators are the two professions that consume the most resources.
Those with Ability User or Magic Mage rely solely on talent, not resources.
Take people with Ability User for example. Their superpowers are innate; they only need to train to become stronger.
As for Magic Mage, all they need to do is Meditation, increase their Divine Power and magic points, and master Dharma Curse.
