Chapter 378: Entering Yun Ling Academy
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
In Yun Ling Academy, a cultivator could use the basic resources for cultivation, but if one needed more, he had to earn contributions to exchange for these resources. One could get the contributions in many ways, one of which was to go to a special place—Mission Hall.
Mission Hall was a place for the academy to release missions. As long as one could complete a mission, he could earn the relative contributions. When he acc.u.mulated enough contributions, he could exchange them for transforming exercises, Spiritual Treasures, elixirs, and so on. What Minghe really wanted was to enter the library. And besides his status as a teacher of the academy, he also needed to earn enough contributions.
The reason why Minghe chose to become a weapon-refining teacher was that he was good at refining weapons. Besides that, the middle-aged man remembered that teaching weapon-refining was one of the most profitable kind in this academy. And because in Minghe"s plan he needed to earn quite a lot of contributions, he would naturally choose to become a weapon-refining teacher.
Having made the decision, Minghe planned to leave. Lingdu City, where Yun Ling Academy was located, was not far away from here in the east. Minghe rode the clouds and moved toward his destination at a fast speed. Before dawn, Minghe had arrived in Lingdu City. This city did not look that splendid, but it contained many powerful formations. Furthermore, there was a medium dichiliocosm hiding in the city.
Minghe arrived at the gate and handed over 10 Spiritual Stones to the guard in exchange for an ID card. With this ID card, Minghe could pa.s.s the Transmitting Formation in the gate and enter the city. Actually, the 10 Spiritual Stones were not enough for Minghe to stay in this city permanently. A year later, if he could not hand over 10 more stones, he would be forced out of the city.
These Spiritual Stones were the currency of the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons, which were mined from the Spiritual Mine. Minghe got these stones directly from the Spiritual Pulses that he collected before. After all, the Spiritual Mine was formed by a non-soul Spiritual Pulse. Minghe had not been in the Medium Layer of the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons for a long time, so he could only get these from Spiritual Pulses.
In fact, according to the concentrations of the Air of the Divine Law inside, Spiritual Stones could be divided into several levels. From the lowest to the highest were the Low Grade, Mid Grade, Top Grade, and Highest Grade, while the exchange ratio of 1:100 was used. What Minghe had given before were 10 Mid Grade Spiritual Stones. That was to say, Minghe had handed over the equivalence of 1,000 Low Grade Spiritual Stones, and he traded them all for only a one-year living permission.
However, when going into the city, Minghe realized that it was worth it. In this medium dichiliocosm, either the Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth or the Air of the Divine Law was five times more than in the outside world. It was really worth the cost of 10 Mid Grade Spiritual Stones to stay here for a year. Besides, this place was much safer than outside.
This medium dichiliocosm was really large, but Minghe was not like a headless chicken because the ID Card he got at the gate had recorded a general map of this world. Looking through it, Minghe directly flew toward the center of this world, where Yun Ling Academy was located and had the most abundant Spiritual Air of Heaven and Earth and the Air of the Divine Law.
When approaching the gate of the academy, Minghe found numerous cultivators waiting in line. Some of them were students attending the examination, while some were teachers. Roughly, there were at least 10,000. After all, the number of living creatures in this world was enormous. Every day, there were plenty of cultivators hoping to get into Yun Ling Academy.
Among these cultivators, Minghe discovered that plenty of them had good talents in cultivation. Some of them were even better than his own disciples. However, Minghe did not have any time to recruit disciples now and did not mention anything about educating them. Now, he only wanted to seek the mind of Taoism of the Supreme Way.
Minghe went to the teacher-recruiting window. Compared with the window to recruit students, that line was much smaller, having only less than 10 people. Minghe waited in line quietly, looking at the cultivators who were taking the examination. Some of them were taking the weapon-refining exam. It was simple and just tested cultivators" weapon-refining skills.
When it came to Minghe"s turn, he did not expose all of his skills on weapon refining, but a branch of the Ways of Refining Weapons that was created by himself. He easily pa.s.sed the test after refining a Top Grade Primordial Supreme Treasure and became a formal teacher of Yun Ling Academy. Besides that, his ID Card was also changed into a teacher"s card.
In fact, teachers in Yun Ling Academy had been divided into several levels. Minghe"s new ID Card showed that he was just a level three teacher. The academy required that weapon-refining teachers could at least refine Primordial Supreme Treasures. Anyone who could refine Low Grade Primordial Supreme Treasures was at level one; refining Mid Grade treasures could be a level two teacher; Top Grade could be level three; Highest Grade could be level four; while refining Chaos Grade treasures could be level five. Beyond these levels, there was level six, seven, eight, and nine. Teachers at the last four levels could refine Spiritual Treasures of Chaos, but even in the entire academy, there were only a few teachers who could reach those levels.
Of course, the higher level a teacher could reach, the better he would be treated. A teacher at level one could gain 10,000 contributions every 1,000 years, which could be traded for plenty of cultivation resources. A teacher at level three like Minghe could gain 110,000 contributions every 1,000 years. That was to say, once a teacher was promoted a level, he could gain 50,000 more. Actually, it was not enough for Minghe to gain 110,000 contributions every 1,000 years. Therefore, he needed to spend some time to get more to exchange for what he wanted.
With the new level three weapon-refining teacher ID Card, a courtyard was arranged for Minghe to live in the academy. The courtyard looked ancient and cla.s.sical, but some abundant tactical formations still existed there, such as the s.p.a.ce Formation, Spirit-gathering Formation, Defence Formation, and so on. This courtyard was the perfect place to cultivate.
Staying in his courtyard, Minghe did not hurry to get to Mission Hall to earn contributions or the library to get some valuable books, but chose to calm down and focus on enhancing his cultivation. Minghe"s human body had just turned into the Indestructible Demon Body at the Fate Realm and he had been directly transmitted to the Medium Layer of the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons before his body was able to totally recover.
Recently, Minghe had been working on cultivating the Indestructible Demon Body. Both his Original Spirit and human body were exhausted. Now, since he found such a good place to cultivate, he would recover his body to its best condition first. Even though Yun Ling Academy might be a safe place for him, Minghe still needed to be alert.
Breaking through the Indestructible Demon Body allowed Minghe to possess the power of the Early Stage of the Fate Realm, which was also Minghe"s ace in the hole. Unless he came across fatal danger, Minghe would reveal his demon body. After all, when the Indestructible Demon Body was revealed, the secret that Minghe was a Rakshasa could not be concealed. Now, Minghe had hidden all of his vital force of the Rakshasa so he could focus on his cultivation.
Learning from the eight cultivators" memories, Minghe knew that they had never seen a Rakshasa, but had heard somebody else mention it before. In the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons, once a Rakshasa was revealed, it would stir a great disturbance and arouse the attention of every powerful force. They might even fight against each other for the Rakshasa. Minghe did not want to experience that.
Though Minghe did not know what would happen to a Rakshasa if it was stolen, it would not be good either way. The Ways of Cultivation generally were divided into two kinds. One was Human Body Cultivation, and the other was Original Spirit Cultivation. Let alone the latter one, Human Body Cultivation would always reach a bottleneck. But there was no such limit for a Rakshasa.
It was likely that Minghe"s Immortal Demon Body could break through to the Fate Realm even if it did not complete the change of the Indestructible Demon Body. However, it would be much worse than changing into the Indestructible Demon Body. This change was not so much a breakthrough as a blood evolution. Having a stronger human body and force could be called a perfect breakthrough.
In Minghe"s cultivation plan of his Mazinger Real Body, the Indestructible Demon Body was not his limit and could also be evolved into a higher level, but the next level was just a blurry stage of interpretation. However, although Minghe could cultivate his Indestructible Demon Body to the extreme, he did not have the ability to complete the change of the Indestructible Demon Body, because he still needed an opportunity. And it was also very difficult for him to get this opportunity.
Minghe really antic.i.p.ated the next stage of his Indestructible Demon Body. Though he knew there had to be quite a lot of obstacles on his way to achieving it, he would not give up. If his expectations came true, he could not only break through to the Supreme Realm, but could also be a special cultivator at that stage. And at that time, Minghe could have almighty force.
In fact, it was only his expectations. Whether he could achieve it or not would depend on if he could find the opportunity. Otherwise, everything he had done would be in vain, even if he had completed the prediction needed for the next stage and figured out the full cultivation plan.
Now, what he needed to do first was to recover himself to his best condition and then collect all the resources that he needed in this Yun Ling Academy. Those resources were not just for himself, but also for the cultivation of his Three Separations, the improvement of the World of Heaven and Earth, the evaluation of supreme treasures and tactical formations, and so on.
