525: Chapter 525 The Academy is Complete!

This is the world of Cultivators.

Jiang Ning watched as a massive Alchemy academy was established at an extremely fast pace, becoming more "complete" at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Two quarters of an hour later, the long "congratulations" segment came to an end.

Simultaneously, the entire academy's high mountain gates and towering buildings stood tall.

Even though Jiang Ning had been in this Cultivation World for a while now, he still marveled that Cultivators were essentially the civil engineers of the heavens.

If civil engineering students had this level of skill, there would be no need to worry about infrastructure!

Elixir Patrol bowed to the crowd.

"On behalf of the Spirit Pill Hall, I thank you all!"

With the support of the Spiritual Veins and the herb fields, the already Spiritual Qi-rich land became even more concentrated.

Especially at the center of the Spiritual Vein, where the herb fields were clustered, Jiang Ning even felt it was misty.

This wasn't mist!

This was Spiritual Qi that was almost condensing into water droplets!

"Alchemists are truly wealthy and powerful."

"That's for sure."

Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Yun Qingqing said from the side, "This is why various families used to hunt Alchemists and keep them in captivity.

A good Alchemist can create far too much wealth for themselves and their Family.

It's also because of this history that when the Third Prince said in his youth that Alchemists were nothing more than tools, it sparked their fury.

This is a past that almost all Alchemists in the Alchemy world are unwilling to mention; it's filled with the scent of blood."

Just then, the scroll that had been floating and following the group trembled.

The Hall Masters of past generations hurriedly looked over.

The Fifth Generation Hall Master said in shock, "That guy, the Ancestral Master, was nowhere to be seen when effort was needed just now, but now he's coming out to show off in front of people?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Fifth Generation Hall Master stumbled, his soul nearly twisting as he almost fell to the ground.

He looked at the people around him; no one had made a move in secret.

The Second Generation Hall Master chuckled, "Don't tease the Ancestral Master; the Ancestral Master is a very vengeful person."

It was meant as a warning, but after saying it, the Second Generation Hall Master also nearly fell to the ground.

The remaining Hall Masters nodded.

Indeed, the Ancestral Master held grudges.

Elixir Patrol and the others bowed, paying their respects to the scroll.

They didn't wait for the Ancestral Master to emerge; instead, they heard the gentle voice of a young man.

"What is the name of this academy?"

The Hall Masters of past generations exchanged glances and looked at Elixir Patrol.

Elixir Patrol bowed, bending even lower, "Reporting to Ancestral Master, after our discussion, we have decided to name the academy 'Kunyu Academy'."

"Good!"

A man's joyful voice came from the scroll.

Then, several streaks of light appeared, and green light darted rapidly across the plaque of the academy's main gate.

In less than a second, the green light vanished, and on the plaque, the four large characters 'Kunyu Academy' were written in a bold, flowing style like flying Dragons and dancing Phoenixes.

The characters were very simple, but upon closer inspection, they hid the Dao Rhyme of the Alchemy Dao.

The crowd of Alchemists was overjoyed.

This was something left behind by the man known as the number one person in Alchemy in the Lower Realm; this bit of Dao Rhyme alone was enough for them to study for a long time.

If they could comprehend something from it, it would surely benefit them for a lifetime.

A tired yawn came from the scroll, and Spirit Elixir Master said, "The academy is newly established. The once small Spirit Pill Hall has reached such a scale, but as an academy...

The foundation of the Spirit Pill Hall is still somewhat lacking."

While speaking, a massive stone carving in the shape of a Medicine Cauldron flew up and landed squarely in the center of the academy's central plaza.

This stone carving was covered with mysterious patterns.

Spirit Elixir Master said to everyone, "Consider this a congratulatory gift for the academy's founding. On this cauldron is my understanding of the Alchemy Dao, a small benefit for the Disciples.

If anyone can comprehend it, it will be a stroke of good fortune."

The head of the Gongsun Family, along with other Family heads and Elders, looked at each other, and in the next second, they erupted in wild joy!

It's worth it, it's definitely worth it!

Fortunately, they hadn't left the 'main group'. Never mind the Ascension Spirit Secret Method; just Spirit Elixir Master's insights into the Alchemy Dao were an Opportunity that ordinary people could never obtain. Such a massive Opportunity could be comprehended by everyone in the academy!

Without a doubt, Kunyu Academy was going to flourish!

"I'm sleepy, you all carry on."

After Spirit Elixir Master finished speaking, there was no more movement from the scroll.

In the crowd.

Yun Qingqing excitedly screamed in a low voice to Jiang Ning.

"Jiang Ning! It's Senior Spirit Elixir Master! It's the Ancestral Master! It's the Ancestral Master! My god, just by hearing his voice, I know the Ancestral Master is a person of unparalleled grace!"

Jiang Ning was already immune to Yun Qingqing being a die-hard fan of the Ancestral Master.

He, however, became interested in the Alchemy Dao insights carved on the Medicine Cauldron.

Elixir Patrol waved his hand, and the grand academy gates opened, "Everyone, please follow me to tour Kunyu Academy!"

The crowd laughed and followed Elixir Patrol inside.

...

On the other side.

Wonderful Elixir Pavilion.

In front of the Wonderful Elixir Pavilion, Cultivators who were sensing the Dao Rhyme contained in the three characters 'Wonderful Elixir Pavilion' were interrupted by an untimely voice.

The Cultivators frowned.

"Who is making such a noise here?!"

"You've disturbed everyone's quiet cultivation; can you afford to compensate us?!"

"Noisy!"

That Cultivator didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt; instead, he straightened his chest and said, "I originally wanted to tell you some good news, but I didn't expect such an attitude from you!"

A Cultivator asked in confusion, "Good news? What could be more beneficial than being here at Wonderful Elixir Pavilion?"

"Kunyu Academy, of course!"

"Kunyu Academy? I've never heard of that name. It sounds like a private school. When did someone start building private schools in the Cultivation World?"

"You don't even know about Kunyu Academy?" The messenger Cultivator said proudly, "Now, the Spirit Pill Hall is no more. In the northeast direction, Kunyu Academy has been established.

The Hall Masters of the Spirit Pill Hall's past generations personally supervised the construction, and the Dao Rhyme on the plaque was personally inscribed by the Spirit Pill Hall's Ancestral Master, Senior Spirit Elixir Master. It's countless times more exquisite than those three characters of Wonderful Elixir Pavilion!

Not to mention that Senior Spirit Elixir Master personally carved a Medicine Cauldron and left behind supreme Alchemy Dao insights on it. Anyone who enters the academy can comprehend them. I shouldn't need to say more about what kind of Opportunity this is, right?

But you're too late now. Who would have thought that the headquarters building of the Spirit Pill Hall was actually a Semi-Immortal Artifact, the kun yu immortal cauldron? Did you hear the commotion just now?

The Hall Masters of past generations activated the cauldron, and the kun yu immortal cauldron erupted with a thick medicinal fragrance. Almost half the Cultivators in the city were chasing after the Immortal Artifact. Ordinary Cultivators who inhaled just a bit of that fragrance from the kun yu immortal cauldron benefited immensely!"

After saying this, the Cultivator simply left.

He was certainly not a good person who took the initiative to tell these people about such an Opportunity.

This was a setup by the Gongsun Family in collaboration with other families to deliberately promote Kunyu Academy.

Especially to make Wonderful Elixir Pavilion lose face.

Now that they were tied to Kunyu Academy, they naturally didn't want to see Wonderful Elixir Pavilion take away Kunyu Academy's resources. As a community of shared interests, Wonderful Elixir Pavilion was their common enemy!

When he spoke, he didn't lower his voice.

From the entrance of Wonderful Elixir Pavilion to the floors above, everyone heard the Cultivator's voice clearly.

After the Cultivator left.

The crowd began to discuss fervently.

"The Spirit Pill Hall has changed its name to Kunyu Academy?"

"No wonder I heard a commotion and thought something was happening in the Imperial City, but I felt it was none of my business and didn't want to waste this Opportunity. It turns out there was a massive Opportunity on the other side! What a loss, what a loss!"

"Everyone, I'd like to ask, who is Spirit Elixir Master?"

"You don't know Spirit Elixir Master? He was the number one person in Alchemy in the Lower Realm, and he founded the Spirit Pill Hall. It's said that he mastered the Great Dao of Alchemy and ascended to the Upper Realm!"

"Is that true? Such a figure—even just catching a glimpse would be something to brag about for a long time. We truly wasted a massive Opportunity!"

"Let's go, what are you still talking about? Isn't it in the northeast? An academy that large will surely be easy to find!"
