Chapter 729: Chapter 727 Greedy Wolf

Lin Xuan returned to the courtyard, sorted through Chu Tianhao’s Storage Ring, kept the useful things, and traded the useless ones with the academy for Spiritual Value.

After that, he began to cultivate once more.

This time, Lin Xuan’s focus was not only on the Four Seasons Swordmanship but also on the enhancement of his cultivation.

Although he now had the strength of a First Layer Venerable, his cultivation was still at the very limit of the Spirit Communication Realm, which was not enough to ascend to the Xuan Venerate List.

The requirement to be on the Xuan Venerate List was that one’s cultivation must reach the Venerable Realm.

Therefore, Lin Xuan planned to elevate his cultivation to the Venerable Realm.

However, after half a day of cultivation, he shook his head slightly.

Even though his cultivation speed was already fast, he was not satisfied.

“I heard that there are other Gathering Spirit Arrays within the academy, but how effective are those high-level Gathering Spirit Arrays?”

The Gathering Spirit Array where he resided was just the most ordinary kind, its effect was fine, but it was unlikely to break through to the Venerable Realm in a short period of time.

Thus, he wanted to check out those so-called high-level Gathering Spirit Arrays.

Gathering Spirit Arrays were very famous within the Immortal Martial Academy, so with a bit of inquiry, one could find out where they were.

After careful inquiry, Lin Xuan found that with his current Spiritual Value, he could at most enter the Intermediate Gathering Spirit Array.

Knowing the direction, Lin Xuan headed towards the Intermediate Gathering Spirit Array.

Soon, he arrived in the area of the Intermediate Gathering Spirit Array.

The academy nearby began to appear more densely, and the Spiritual Energy in the air was obviously richer.

Upon arriving here, Lin Xuan realized it was not like what he had imagined.

Unlike his residential courtyard, this Gathering Spirit Array was a Gathering Spirit Tower.

However, the Gathering Spirit Tower was not built on the ground, but underneath it.

One by one, deep pits like sky wells appeared in front, filled with a mysterious aura.

Lin Xuan looked and saw six Gathering Spirit Towers in total, forming a circle, with a huge Intermediate Gathering Spirit Array underneath the six towers.

From the conversations of the students around, Lin Xuan learned that the deeper you go into the Gathering Spirit Tower, the better the effect,

and the more Spiritual Value required.

The Intermediate Gathering Spirit Tower had nine levels in total, with thirty-six Cultivation Rooms on each level, and the price of each level varied.

The First Level cost five hundred Spiritual Value for two hours of cultivation, the Second Level one thousand Spiritual Value, and the Third Level one thousand five hundred Spiritual Value.

All the way to the Ninth Level, where cultivating for two hours cost five thousand Spiritual Value.

That price was downright scary!

The First Level being the cheapest had the most renters, but its effect was the worst.

Saying it was the worst, but compared to those residential courtyard Spirit Arrays, it was many times better.

Lin Xuan came to the First Level and found that the Spiritual Energy was at least double that of his courtyard.

As expected of the Intermediate Gathering Spirit Array, it was indeed powerful, even the First Level was this strong, one couldn’t imagine what the Ninth Level would be like.

However, with his current financial ability, the Ninth Level was out of reach.

After counting his Spiritual Value, Lin Xuan decided to go to the Second Level.

The passageway twisted like a spiral, and the walls on both sides were embedded with Luminous Pearls, making the Gathering Spirit Tower bright as day.

Passing by many students, Lin Xuan walked downwards.

However, the path to the Second Level was blocked.

A figure sat there, obstructing the way.

It was a young man in black with short hair and a hook-nosed face, his eyes were cold, and he sat there with a hint of a sneer on his lips.

Beyond him, there were several students with injuries, faces full of anger.

“What’s going on?” Lin Xuan frowned. “Fighting inside the Gathering Spirit Tower?”

“Newcomer?” someone next to him asked, “I’d advise you not to go over there, otherwise you’ll end up like them.”

Someone pointed at an injured student as they spoke.

“Why?” Lin Xuan didn’t understand.

The person next to him sighed and explained, “To enter the Cultivation Room, you need Spiritual Value, and the price is steep.”

“But, some people don’t have that much Spiritual Value, or they simply don’t want to spend what they have, so they have no choice but to use someone else’s!”

“Use someone else’s?” Lin Xuan frowned, “You mean steal?”

“Steal? You got it right, but they’d never admit to saying so!” The short-haired youth in black sneered in the front, “You’ve got guts to talk about stealing right in front of me!”

“Do you want to use the Second Level? If you do, then come over here; if you’re too scared, roll back to wherever you came from and cower on the First Level forever!”

The short-haired youth snorted arrogantly, his words full of contempt.

“Doesn’t the academy take care of such matters?” Lin Xuan asked in a deep voice.

“As long as it doesn’t result in death, they generally don’t intervene.” The person sighed, “The path of Martial Arts is inherently dangerous, and here we are in the even more treacherous Blood Domain.”

“If you can’t handle these sorts of things here, you’ll only meet one end outside.”

Hearing this, Lin Xuan fell silent.

Indeed, this was a world where the strong ruled, and while the academy provided resources and safety for life, everything else was up to one’s own struggle.

“Humph, after all that useless talk, are you brave enough to come over or not? If you’re not, get lost!”

“Don’t waste my damn time!”

The short-haired youth coldly shouted, exuding a powerful aura.

Instantly, many of the surrounding students changed their expressions and backed away ceaselessly.

“Newcomer, they’re from the Greedy Wolf Association, you’d better not mess with them,” the person next to him kindly warned.

“Have they always been this overbearing?” Lin Xuan asked.

“The people from Greedy Wolf Association are greedy, tyrannical, and exceedingly brutal; you could say they’re akin to a thuggish organization,” the person whispered.

“However, if you’re talking about them always being overbearing, they do have exceptions.”

“Exceptions?”

This time, Lin Xuan didn’t ask because he saw the exception happening next.

A figure entered through the entrance, passed through the crowd, and walked towards the front.

The young man in white garments was immaculately clean, and though he did not emanate any aura, he had an imposing presence, like a towering mountain that people looked up to.

Seeing the youth in white, the short-haired youth on the ground stiffened, then quickly stood up, moved to the side, and cleared the way.

Step, step, step!

The youth in white, with his indifferent demeanor, didn’t even glance at the short-haired youth as he walked directly to the next level.

Throughout the whole process, the short-haired youth in black didn’t utter a word; his expression was even a bit tense.

“Is this the exception?” Lin Xuan smiled, finally understanding what the Greedy Wolf Association really was all about.

“What Greedy Wolf Association, it turned out to be a bunch of cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong – trash!”

Lin Xuan sneered disdainfully.

The surrounding crowd was shocked, staring at Lin Xuan with stunned faces.

Though they knew it to be true, no one dared to speak out, well aware that the Greedy Wolf was fierce and terrifying!

Whoosh—

The next moment, the students around him moved, distancing themselves from Lin Xuan.

Even the martial artist who had warned him earlier shook his head and left Lin Xuan’s side.

He didn’t want to be associated with any misunderstandings.

Seeing everyone’s reaction, Lin Xuan sighed; the Greedy Wolf Association must have done many evil deeds, otherwise, the crowd wouldn’t be so frightened.

“Youngster, you’re the first to insult the Greedy Wolf Association to our faces.” The short-haired youth in black’s face contorted ferociously, “I will make you understand that there are some words you simply can’t say recklessly!”
