90: Chapter 90 Money Makes Men Courageous!

"Thump!!~~"

"Ouch!!~~"

Principal Beigong Mo flicked his finger, and Chen An felt a pain in his forehead, causing him to grimace and cry out in pain.

"You brat, you really are obsessed with money. With your cultivation, you dare to target an Ancient Demon?!"

Principal Beigong Mo glared at his newly accepted Disciple, a trace of helpless amusement flashing through his cloudy eyes.

"Hehe, Revered Master, I was just asking, no need to react so strongly, right?!" Chen An pretended to rub his forehead and smiled cheekily.

"You, you..."

Principal Beigong Mo shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The Ancient Demon is still too early for you now; don't waste your thoughts on it!"

"Although your Aptitude is average, your Comprehension Ability is extraordinary. If you can fully comprehend Master Lin's Saber Intent, only then will you be qualified to go to the border and slay Ancient Demons."

His tone shifted slightly, becoming more serious: "Last night, late at night, there was a disturbance in heaven and earth. That massive surge of Qi reaching straight into the clouds, you must have clearly felt it, right?"

A strange look flashed in Chen An's eyes, and he nodded, "Disciple naturally noticed. Last night, the celestial phenomena changed drastically, lightning filled the sky, and the momentum was extremely vast."

"Correct, that was a top-tier peerless expert undergoing Undergoing Tribulation."

Principal Beigong Mo said slowly, his gaze fixed on the sky outside the courtyard, full of emotion.

"And I would never be mistaken. The saber technique displayed during that person's Undergoing Tribulation was precisely the ultimate skill cultivated by Master Lin, 'Seven Demonic Blades of Extinction'!"

"This person has already cultivated this Martial Skill to the pinnacle. With just one hand of Extinction Blade Intent, they forcibly withstood eighteen terrifying Lightning Tribulations head-on. Truly Divine Might that covers the world."

Speaking of this, Principal Beigong Mo sighed with great regret.

"It is a pity that it happened suddenly and you were not present. If you could have witnessed the battle in person and seen the scene of the blade intent shaking the thunder, you would surely have been able to gain insights instantly, taking your understanding of 'Seven Demonic Blades of Extinction' a step further, saving countless years of hard work."

Hearing this, the corner of Chen An's mouth raised slightly, and he laughed inwardly.

Revered Master probably couldn't have imagined that the top-tier peerless expert he spoke of was the very Disciple he had just accepted yesterday.

Forcing down the smile at the corner of his mouth, Chen An feigned regret and nodded, "Revered Master is right, it is truly a pity. I didn't expect that I would miss such a once-in-a-millennium Opportunity."

"No matter, Opportunity is destined by heaven!"

Seeing Chen An's expression, Principal Beigong Mo thought he genuinely felt regret and comforted him gently, "With your Comprehension Ability, as long as you calm your heart and devote yourself to contemplation in the future, you may not be unable to stand shoulder to shoulder with that expert undergoing Undergoing Tribulation!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Revered Master!" Chen An said, appearing humble.

"Alright, I have nothing else to teach you. These are a few saber Martial Skills I have collected over the years, as well as some notes from my own cultivation and contemplation. Take them back and study them well!"

Principal Beigong Mo stopped talking and waved his right hand gently. Several ancient-looking Cultivation Technique Martial Skills instantly appeared on the stone table out of thin air. The pages glowed with a faint spiritual light; one could tell at a glance that they were no ordinary items.

He looked at Chen An with a calm gaze and instructed slowly, "Five days from now, the Prefecture Exam for your batch of new Disciples will officially begin. Seize the time to Cultivate hard. You must not slack off, and do not disappoint me!"

"Yes, thank you, Revered Master. I will Cultivate diligently and will never let you down!" Chen An hurriedly stood up and bowed in thanks.

"By the way, I heard that your Aptitude is a Mid-grade Martial Bone?!" Principal Beigong Mo added.

"Yes, Revered Master!" Chen An nodded.

Principal Beigong Mo nodded slightly, with no look of disappointment on his face, and said calmly, "You need not worry about this matter. Although Martial Bone is determined at birth, it is not impossible to change and reshape it later."

As his voice fell, he waved his hand again, and two warm-textured cyan jade bottles landed steadily on the stone table, with faint spiritual light lingering around them.

"This bottle contains the marrow cleansing and bone tempering pill, a rare Spirit Pill specially used for reshaping the Foundation and improving the grade of the Martial Bone. One can take at most two in a lifetime."

"Taking the first one gives a thirty percent chance to advance a Mid-grade Martial Bone to a High-grade Martial Bone. The efficacy of the second one is greatly reduced, leaving only a ten percent chance. Whether you can break through depends entirely on your own Opportunity and fortune."

"If you are lucky, you can use this to be reborn, possess a High-grade Martial Bone, and your path of cultivation will be several times smoother."

Speaking of this, he pointed to the other jade bottle and said with a touch of teasing, "This pill is called the Golden Marrow Return to Origin Pill. It is most suitable for Martial Artists in the Qi Condensation Realm to stabilize their Foundation and break through the Bottleneck of the Realm. I sense your aura, it seems not to be the Condensing Qi Stage 6 as rumored, but the Ninth Stage of Condensing Qi. It seems you have hidden your cultivation?!"

"Hehe, Revered Master's eyes are like torches. Disciple did indeed hide a little bit of cultivation!" Chen An smiled shyly.

"Alright, take advantage of these few days before the Prefecture Exam to Cultivate well with this bottle of Golden Marrow Return to Origin Pill and try to raise your cultivation a bit more!" Regarding the little bit of cultivation Chen An had hidden, Principal Beigong Mo did not care and waved his hand.

Seeing the two jade bottles in front of him, a warm current could not help but surge in Chen An's heart.

He didn't expect that his newly accepted Revered Master not only gave him eight million yuan crystals and an Earth Rank top-tier Divine Weapon, but also remembered his Martial Bone and cultivation.

"Thank you for the generous gift, Revered Master!"

Chen An bowed respectfully toward Principal Beigong Mo, and then said, "However, Revered Master, I have already taken the marrow cleansing and bone tempering pill, and I am already at a High-grade Martial Bone."

"Oh?!~~"

Principal Beigong Mo raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes. A moment later, he nodded slowly, a relieved smile appearing on his face: "So that's how it is. It was my oversight. Since you have already cultivated a High-grade Martial Bone, this bone-tempering Medicinal Pill is of no use to you."

He raised his hand and took back the jade bottle containing the marrow cleansing and bone tempering pill, pushing only the jade bottle containing the Golden Marrow Return to Origin Pill toward Chen An.

"Then you keep this bottle of Golden Marrow Return to Origin Pill. You are currently at the Peak of the Ninth Stage of Condensing Qi, so you can just use this pill to stabilize your cultivation and break through the Realm. The Prefecture Exam in a few days is of vital importance; having more strength gives you more confidence."

"Yes, Revered Master!" Chen An nodded and took the bottle of Golden Marrow Return to Origin Pill.

"Alright, you go back now!" Principal Beigong Mo said no more and waved his hand.

"Yes, then Revered Master, I will take my leave!"

Chen An bowed again before leaving Principal Beigong Mo's courtyard.

Walking out of Principal Beigong Mo's courtyard, Chen An pondered for a moment, then walked toward the direction of the Prefectural Academy gate.

He had promised to visit the Shen Family after arriving at the Prefectural Academy. It was understandable that he didn't go yesterday since he had just arrived, but if he didn't go today, given Shen Qinglan's personality, she would probably come to the Prefectural Academy to block the door herself.

Besides that, he also planned to go out and get some yuan crystals for self-defense.

Money is a man's courage!

Last night, in a fit of impulse, he topped up all 15 million yuan crystals into the System. Now, he only had a few tens of thousands of yuan crystals left as pocket money. (PS: A word of explanation, lest any brothers ask where the protagonist got his money. Previously, Ancestor Zhou Tong compensated two million, he spent 760,000 on items, topped up 1.2 million, and 40,000 remained.)

Without yuan crystals on him, he always felt a bit uneasy.

As it happened, there was something he had wanted to do for a long time. This time going out, he could go and try it...
