127: Back to school

"No problem!"

With that, Manager Wang arranged for someone to take Liu Yiyi to the Enlightenment Room.

Afterward, Shen Xi asked again, "How are my two brothers Cultivating?"

Manager Wang quickly replied, "During this period, their strength has advanced by leaps and bounds. One has already entered the Minor Completion of Vital Energy Realm, and the other has also achieved Refining Blood - Great Accomplishment."

Shen Xi nodded in satisfaction.

The effect of the Enlightenment Room was extraordinary.

Coupled with their decent Aptitude, reaching this Realm was within his expectations.

Without further ado, Shen Xi quietly waited for Manager Wang to calculate the value of these Materials.

Finally, Manager Wang came out with a large bag of diamond coins.

"Respected guest, your Materials are worth a total of 1.6 trillion. After deducting your expenses during this period, the remaining money is all here."

The heavy diamond coins were a visual shock.

Even Shen Xi was surprised.

He sighed with emotion, thinking that not long ago he was still a child from the slums, but now, in just a few months, his net worth had exceeded a trillion.

"Do you sell martial dao crystals here?"

Shen Xi did not take the diamond coins and asked again.

Manager Wang was also a shrewd person and immediately reacted, "Are you planning to buy martial dao crystals? This kind of thing is too rare. There is nowhere to buy it in the entire Twenty-eighth City. Only the City Lord, the President of the Senate, and a few other prominent figures have them, and the number will not exceed ten."

"If you want to buy them, you can only go to the headquarters, and even then, it's not guaranteed that someone will be willing to sell them, because one is the currency of the ordinary world, and the other is the currency of the Martial Artist world. The value difference is too great."

"In addition..."

At this point, Manager Wang paused and glanced at Shen Xi.

"Just say it."

With permission, Manager Wang continued, "Furthermore, even with all your money, it would be difficult to buy one martial dao crystal. Although the market price is one martial dao crystal for one trillion, in reality, even two trillion or three trillion might not be enough to buy one martial dao crystal."

Shen Xi nodded, indicating that he understood.

After all, martial dao crystals were treasures that could help Martial Artists comprehend Concepts. Whether one could buy them or not depended on luck.

While the two were chatting, the doors of the two Enlightenment Rooms opened.

Immediately after, Fatty and Wang Lin appeared before Shen Xi.

The two had just come out of seclusion.

"Xi Zi, I'm now at the Minor Completion of Vital Energy Realm, only one step away from Major Achievement. Can we go and resist the beast tide now?"

Fatty asked excitedly.

Not long ago, he was still at the Refining Blood - Great Accomplishment Realm, but now he had continuously Broken Through three Realms, which made him tremble with excitement.

All of this was brought to him by Shen Xi.

"Brother Shen, can I also go and resist the beast tide?"

Wang Lin also couldn't help but ask.

He knew that his strength was still too weak and would be insignificant in a beast tide where the starting point was the Origin Qi Realm.

But he still wanted to gain experience.

Hearing this, Shen Xi shook his head.

"No, can't we?"

Fatty and Wang Lin both showed expressions of regret.

"The beast tide has already ended. Where am I going to find a beast tide for you to resist?"

Shen Xi explained with a smile.

Then, he briefly recounted what had happened recently.

The two brothers were stunned. The beast tide had ended before it even began?

However, they also felt fortunate. The early end of the beast tide was a good thing, at least they didn't have to worry about countless common people losing their homes and lives.

"If you want to gain experience, I'll take you in a while. As for now, you can continue to Cultivate at Star Zenith Department Store!"

Seeing the two brothers about to refuse, Shen Xi glared and said, "The money has already been paid, and they won't refund it if you refuse. Also, as your strength improves, you can also switch to two better Cultivation Techniques. Just find Manager Wang and choose them yourselves."

"I still have things to deal with, so I won't stay long. If you need anything, find Manager Wang."

With that, Shen Xi left a sum of money and turned to leave Star Zenith Department Store.

The two brothers exchanged glances and said nothing more. They firmly remembered Shen Xi's kindness to them and would definitely repay him in the future... Meanwhile, Shen Xi's hurried departure from Star Zenith Department Store was not an excuse.

He really had one more thing to deal with.

He was going to Twenty-Eight Academy to handle his student status.

Twenty-Eight Academy was actually the Martial Artist Academy of Twenty-eighth City.

Every year, the Academy would search for promising young people within Twenty-eighth City and recruit them into the Academy for training.

And Shen Xi was once a student of the Academy, and he and Zhao Minsheng also met at the Academy.

However, because Shen Xi came from the slums and his Cultivation speed in the Blood Refining Realm far surpassed that of his peers, he incurred Zhao Minsheng's resentment, which led to all sorts of incidents in the Outer City.

"The Blood Refining Realm is indeed a peculiar Realm. As long as one diligently tempers their physique and improves their physical fitness, they can advance quickly. However, once one reaches the Blood Refining and Energy Transformation Realm, further progress requires extremely high Aptitude."

Shen Xi said with emotion.

With his Aptitude, logically speaking, his highest achievement in his entire life would only be the Initial Stage of Yuanqi Realm.

Yet, among his peers, his Cultivation speed was the fastest.

This was precisely because of the special nature of the Blood Refining Realm.

The Blood Refining Realm did not prioritize Aptitude, but rather the student's level of effort.

Even an ordinary person, if they persistently tempered their physique and improved their physical fitness day after day, could also enter the Blood Refining Realm.

And Shen Xi, at that time, was the most desperate one.

Back then, he didn't know that his Aptitude was the Trash of Trash. As a Transmigrator, he was full of ambition and longed to become a strong person.

So he trained his physique almost day and night, and quickly entered the Blood Refining Realm.

However, it was only now that he realized that if he hadn't had the help of the System back then, no matter how hard he tried in this life, he would at most reach the Initial Stage of Yuanqi Realm.

Once one reached Blood Refining and Energy Transformation, breaking through to the Initial Stage of Yuanqi required Aptitude.

This was a watershed.

A watershed between ordinary people and those with Cultivation Aptitude.

This was also why the vast majority of people were stuck at the Blood Refining and Energy Transformation Realm.

These people might Cultivate very diligently and work very hard, but due to their Aptitude, it was difficult for them to Breakthrough to the Origin Qi Realm.

It was also because of the special nature of the Blood Refining Realm that someone with Shen Xi's Aptitude could still enter Twenty-Eight Academy.

"Fortunately, I have the System, and fortunately, I obtained the Spirit Guiding Scripture, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to possess my current strength."
