Chapter 58: Shao Family People Coming
Ever since he returned from the Mystic Essence Mystic Realm, Lin Bai had been absorbing and digesting the spiritual qi in his body on Red Luan Peak. The battles in the mystic realm, as well as the cultivation strength he had obtained from cultivating with that mysterious woman, had all been acc.u.mulated in his body. Now, he had finally released it.
Although he had not breakthrough yet, he felt that he had taken a small step. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before he broke through to the grandmaster state.
“Come, Little Black.”
Lin Bai called out to Little Black. The lake not far away was bubbling. Many small bubbles popped up.
Under the sunlight, the turtle sh.e.l.l was suffused with a dark jade-like color. It looked extremely transparent and pure, without any impurities. Occasionally, small drops of water would roll down, flas.h.i.+ng with a different kind of spirit.
Little Black was a little slow, and little red was an impatient person. It flew down from the sky, wanting to help, but little did it expect that Little Black’s turtle sh.e.l.l was too heavy. It couldn’t hold on for long and fell down.
As a result, Little Black was upside down and could not turn over for a long time. Seeing this, Lin Bai could not help but laugh out loud and poked Little Red’s head. “Oh you, it’s not like I’m imparting power to you. You’re more impatient than anyone else.”
Li seemed to know that it had done something wrong. It folded its wings and stood at the side, feeling wronged. It made “Ji Ji” sounds as if it was saying that it did not do it on purpose.
Out of the three little ones, Little Black’s cultivation was the weakest. Lin Bai wanted to prevent it from falling too far behind from Little Green and Little Red, so he decided to pa.s.s on his cultivation to it first.
[ Ding! ]
[ The host pa.s.sed on his cultivation to Little Black for ten days. ]
[ You have successfully triggered a 100 times return! ]
[ The host has obtained a 1,000 days cultivation! ]
Little Black’s entire body was covered in golden light. When the light faded away, its body had grown a lot bigger. Its turtle sh.e.l.l had also become thicker and heavier. It looked like a black jade with ancient patterns on it rendering a mysterious feeling.
If Shao Yuchen attacked it now, it would probably be difficult to break through Little Black’s defense. At the very least, it would be able to withstand a half-way grandmaster state’s attack.
Lin Bai looked at Little Black’s transformation and said with satisfaction, “Giving you cultivation a few more times should be enough.”
Little Black’s pea-sized eyes flashed with joy. Beside it, Little Green and Little Red did not feel jealous. After all, it was a newcomer, so there was no harm in letting it get the cultivation a few times.
“Lin Bai –”
In a trance, he seemed to hear someone calling his name.
Lin Bai flew down and saw a familiar figure outside the Red Luan Peak. It was Chen Wu. She was panting and rushed over from G.o.d knows where.
“What’s wrong?”
“Something big has happened at the school. The Dean asked me to call you over.” Actually, it was another student who was supposed to inform him, but Chen Wu volunteered to come over.
“Then do you know what it is?”
Chen Wu shook her head. “I don’t know either. I asked the dean, but he didn’t explain it clearly. It seems to be something about the four major academies.”
What business could the four major academies have? Lin Bai was a little puzzled, so he set off with Chen Wu.
On the other side, the presidents of the four major academies were also receiving the distinguished guests from the capital city. It was the third elder of the Shao family.
“Third elder, I’m sorry for not welcoming you properly. I wonder why you’re here today.”
The Shao family in the capital city was an ancient cultivation aristocratic family. They had a strong foundation and could not be easily offended. It was no wonder that the deans of the Four Great Academies had all arrived at the same time to receive him. They really could not afford to offend him.
However, what was strange was that they had never had any connection with the Shao family. They did not know why they had actually sent someone here today. It was also the third elder, who carried a heavy weight.
The third elder shot them a cold glance. A cold light flashed in his eyes, but he concealed it very well.
“Under the orders of our family head, we are inviting all the students who are partic.i.p.ating in the Mystic Essence Mystic Realm this time to the capital for an exchange.”
The few princ.i.p.als were flattered. One had to know that this was something that had never happened before. Although they could call the shots in this place, they knew their own reputation. Once they left this place, they would be nothing, not to mention, they would be nothing in the capital city, which was full of talented people.
If they were considered to towns, then the capital city was equivalent to a central city. It was many times bigger and had more resources. The Shao family had never placed a small city like theirs in their eyes, but now, they suddenly invited them.
No matter how they looked at it, it was extremely strange, so they fell into silence.
When the third elder saw that they did not know what was good for them, he became even angrier. “Why? You have such a good opportunity in front of you, and you’re still not happy about it?”
It was princ.i.p.al s=Sun who came out to smooth things over. “Why wouldn’t we be happy about what you said, third elder? It’s just that it happened so suddenly that we didn’t react in time.”
“If that’s the case, then we should make preparations and set off immediately.”
Princ.i.p.al Zhao didn’t quite agree. “Set off immediately? ! Isn’t that a little too fast? The children have just returned from the mystic realm, and they need to rest for a while –”
Seeing that the third elder’s face was getting darker and darker, princ.i.p.al Li quickly pulled him to the side before third elder could fly into a rage. He lowered his voice and said,
“Don’t say anymore. The third elder has good intentions as well. We should leave early and return early. Now that we finally have the chance to go to the capital for an exchange, let’s not mess it up.”
“But I keep feeling that something is a little strange. Just think about it. The sword tomb had just had an accident, and the Shao family sent people over after that. They even mentioned the names of all the students partic.i.p.ating in the mystic realm. Don’t you think that it’s a little too much of a coincidence?”
Headmaster Zhou’s gaze s.h.i.+fted and he fell into deep thought. “You mean that the sword tomb might be related to the Shao Family?”
Headmaster Zhao shook his head. “I don’t know. I’m just suspecting in my heart. Otherwise, why would the Shao family not choose other students?”
“Even though that’s the case, who doesn’t know that the students who enter the Mystic Essence Mystic Realm are naturally powerful. That’s why he uses this as a standard. There’s nothing strange about it.”
For a moment, everyone was caught in a dilemma.
However, the third elder wouldn’t give them so much time to think.
“It’s also because our family head cherishes talent that we have such an opportunity. I hope that everyone can seize it.”
Since he had already said so much, if they were to reject him, it would seem as though they didn’t know what was good for them. The three princ.i.p.als had no choice but to agree.
“I’ll gather the students right away. Third elder, please take good care of them for us on the way and send our regards to family head Shao on our behalf.”
Upon hearing such an answer, the coldness in third elder’s eyes finally dissipated a lot. “Of course.” He seemed to have thought of something and added from the side,
“Just say that you’re going to the capital to study and exchange. Don’t mention the name of the Shao family. We’ll talk about it when we get to the capital.”
This request was a little strange. Although the few princ.i.p.als were confused and did not understand what he was up to, they still agreed to it.
Soon, the batch of students who went to the Mystic Yuan Mystic Realm were summoned, and Lin Bai was among them.
“We gathered everyone here today to announce a piece of good news. We will organize everyone to go to the capital to exchange and study!”
