56: Selling War Spirits

“Although I don't know how you learned about this Qi Cultivation Art, I still need to warn you: this Qi Cultivation Art is extremely dangerous. Not everyone can Cultivate it, and it doesn't include a matching Battle Spirit. You must be careful when Cultivating.”

Mu Xian said earnestly from the side.

“I know.”

Ye Yan nodded. He only learned the secret of the Saint Origin True Art right before he died.

The Saint Origin True Art is different from other Qi Cultivation Arts; it's very special. Those who read it cannot remember it and will forget it, nor can it be copied. No one has ever successfully Cultivated it.

Although he had read the Saint Origin True Art in his previous life, he forgot it as soon as he finished reading.

However, the original Saint Origin True Art had always been with Mu Xian. Fortunately, he met Mu Xian, which gave him the chance to obtain the Saint Origin True Art.

The Cultivation requirements for the Saint Origin True Art are very strict because it is not a normal Qi Cultivation Art at all; it is a Qi Cultivation Art for Battle Spirits to Cultivate.

Only Battle Spirits that are telepathically connected with their Spirit Master and are of orange quality or higher are qualified to Cultivate the Saint Origin True Art.

If that person hadn't lied to him, the specific effect of the Saint Origin True Art should be to enhance the Aptitude of the Battle Spirit, allowing its quality to gradually improve. At the same time, during this process, it continuously feeds power back to the Spirit Master, granting the Spirit Master an additional boost.

The effect is incredibly powerful.

“Alright, I’ve given you the item. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now.”

Mu Xian looked at Ye Yan, deep in thought, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

“Thank you, Teacher Mu Xian.”

“No need to say more. You earned this by your own ability. I will continue to stay in this vicinity for a while. If you need help, you can come find me.”

“With your ability, you should be able to find me.”

Mu Xian said slowly.

“Of course.”

Ye Yan nodded. He knew this rare strong individual from his previous life, who was always willing to help, very well.

“We will meet again.”

“If fate allows, we will meet.”

“I applied to Tianling Academy.”

“That’s good.”

Mu Xian nodded, not taking it to heart.

Ye Yan watched Mu Xian's departing figure, a triumphant smile on his face.

...

Time flowed slowly, and in a blink of an eye, ten days passed. Under Lu Qianyuan's almost non-stop harvesting, nearly all the Black Claw Spider War Spirits in the entire Dark Spider Nest were harvested by him.

In the end, he harvested approximately five thousand white-quality Black Claw Spider War Spirits and forty-seven green-quality Black Claw Spider War Spirits.

Lu Qianyuan returned to District 49 with his spoils and began selling them in batches.

Lu Qianyuan silently estimated that a white-quality Black Claw Spider War Spirit was worth fifty thousand, and a green-quality Black Claw Spider War Spirit was worth one hundred fifty thousand to two hundred thousand.

Taking the lowest price for all, if he sold everything, he could earn over two hundred fifty million resource coins. This was at the absolute lowest price; the actual amount should be a bit more, roughly two hundred sixty million.

These resource coins should be enough for him to raise his strength to the Third-Tier Peak using his own methods.

Harvesting Battle Spirits was not difficult for Lu Qianyuan, but selling Battle Spirits was a very difficult task for him.

Others sold Battle Spirits one by one; even elite Spirit Hunting teams sold at most a few dozen at a time, never more.

Battle Spirits were entirely dependent on luck; no one knew if a slain exotic beast contained a Battle Spirit.

How could it be like Lu Qianyuan, who could easily pinpoint exotic beasts with Battle Spirits inside and then precisely harvest them?

Others retailed, but he was practically wholesaling.

Anyone who discovered this would feel that something was amiss.

Lu Qianyuan naturally didn't want to attract others' covetousness, nor did he want others to know about his ability, so he could only sell them slowly.

However, Lu Qianyuan thought of Ye Yan at this moment. That guy was very mysterious; perhaps he had a way to help Lu Qianyuan quickly sell the Battle Spirits.

Ye Yan had most likely already guessed that he could precisely locate exotic beasts with Battle Spirits, after all, he could even detect the quality of Dormant Battle Spirits, so discovering the existence of Battle Spirits through exotic beasts was naturally very simple.

Just as he had guessed that Ye Yan harbored a great secret, both sides tacitly avoided probing each other's secrets, merely taking what they needed, relying on the other to obtain what they wanted, in a mutually beneficial relationship.

This situation was good for both parties, preventing them from coming to blows; at least, before any conflict of interest arose, they would absolutely not come to blows.

Asking Ye Yan for help would be a relatively safe and appropriate method.

Otherwise, if he relied on selling them himself, he didn't know how long it would take to sell all the Battle Spirits he had.

He didn't have that much time to waste on this; directly transferring the risk to another person was the simplest method, even if it meant he would lose some profit.

Ye Yan had the strength and qualifications for this.

After some thought, Lu Qianyuan decided to first ask Ye Yan about the situation, and then make his next plan.

He went to the hotel to rest for the night.

At the same time, he saw his score: 2026 points, ranking fifth in Survival Zone 37. This score was enough to gain admission to the Four Great Academies.

Afterward, as long as he passed the entrance exam for the Four Great Academies, he could enter them.

The fifth place also came with an exclusive reward, but for Lu Qianyuan, this reward was as good as non-existent; he simply gave it up.

This reward was less than what he earned from killing Black Claw Spiders in the Dark Spider Nest for half an hour.

It was currently time to apply for martial arts schools, so Lu Qianyuan casually applied to Tianling Academy, one of the Four Great Academies.

The Four Great Academies are Tianling Academy, Moguang Academy, Changlan Academy, and Mugeng Academy.

There is no distinction of strength among the Four Great Academies, at least not overtly; they simply focus on different areas.

Tianling Academy focuses more on Battle Spirits. In terms of improving the quality of Battle Spirits, Tianling Academy is the best among the Four Great Academies, having once achieved the feat of cultivating a blue-quality Battle Spirit to golden-quality.

Moguang Academy focuses on various Battle Skills. In the research of elemental Battle Skills, Moguang Academy is the top among the Four Great Academies. Various types of Battle Skills can be found there.

Among them, there are not only a large number of S-rank Battle Skills, but even Battle Skills above S-rank.

Changlan Academy is more unique; they primarily focus on Body Refining. In terms of body tempering, they have the most authority, and at the same time, they are the academy least reliant on Battle Spirits.

As for the last one, Mugeng Academy, it focuses more on external forces. They are mainly famous for various Artifact Refiners and alchemists.

The first human Blacksmith originated from Mugeng Academy.

Each of the Four Great Academies has its own advantages, and Lu Qianyuan's main purpose in choosing Tianling Academy was to replicate skills.

After all, Tianling Academy does the best in cultivating Battle Spirits; the higher the quality of the Battle Spirit, the stronger the skills naturally.

After completing the registration, Lu Qianyuan fell into a deep sleep.
