Chapter 542: Chapter 536: Anomaly at Spirit Academy

Onefold!

When cultivating within the High Grade Spirit Academy, the speed of Cultivation enhancement was actually double the speed of cultivating within the Mid-grade Spirit Academy.

It was more than three times what Ye Zhen had initially estimated.

When he first discovered this result, Ye Zhen almost bit his tongue in shock, but as a martial artist in the Soul Sea Realm, his judgment was unlikely to be wrong under undisturbed conditions.

However, based on the difference in concentration of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi between the Mid-grade and High Grade Spirit Academies, the speed of Cultivation enhancement in the High Grade should have been 30 percent faster than in the Mid-grade.

The result obtained, however, was onefold!

The concentration of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was correct; within the Mid-grade Spirit Academy of the True Spirit Domain, it was about three times that of the outside world, whereas in the High Grade Spirit Academy, it was about four times.

Following this logic, the speed of cultivation in the Mid-grade Academy was three times that of the outside world, and in the High Grade Spirit Academy, it was four times.

The speed of cultivating in the High Grade Spirit Academy, compared to the Mid-grade, was thus only one third faster.

But the result Ye Zhen personally experienced was onefold!

Equivalent to cultivating one day in the High Grade Academy was equal to cultivating two days in the Mid-grade Academy! If Ye Zhen could continually cultivate in the High Grade Academy, then the time needed for Ye Zhen to break through from the First Stage to the Second Stage of the Soul Sea Realm would only require three months!

Moreover, supplemented with spirit rice, spiritual tea, spirit wine, and various spirit plants, Ye Zhen’s time needed to break through from the First Stage to the Second Stage of the Soul Sea Realm might even be less than two and a half months.

This gap was extremely astonishing.

Initially, Ye Zhen could not find the reason, but with the help of his Divine Sense, Ye Zhen carefully pondered and eventually found out why the speed of Cultivation in the High Grade Spirit Academy far exceeded his predictions.

The purity of the spiritual power!

The purity of the spiritual power within the High Grade Spirit Academy was ten times that of the Mid-grade Academy, with various negative energies and impurities mixed in the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, which were already very scarce within the misty Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the High Grade Academy.

Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is so called because it contains certain amounts of negative energies and numerous impurities. After martial artists absorb it, they need to operate their cultivation techniques to refine away these negative energies and impurities before it can be transformed into their own spiritual power for utilization.

When martial artists cultivate, more than one third of the time is spent operating cultivation techniques to refine these negative energies and impurities, naturally affecting the speed of cultivation.

The tremendous difference in cultivation speed within the Mid-grade and High Grade Academies thus arises.

Perhaps it is a case where quantity changes lead to qualitative changes, within the misty Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi of the High Grade Academy, whether it’s negative energies or impurities, they are extremely scarce.

The negative energies and impurities contained in a single Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the High Grade Academy are not even one tenth of those in the Mid-grade Academy.

Under these conditions, martial artists cultivating in the High Grade Academy just continuously absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into their bodies, and with their cultivation techniques operating, they spend very little time refining the impurities and negative energies clean, so the speed of Cultivation enhancement moreover soars.

Uniquely, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi absorbed by Ye Zhen is first purified by the Mirage Dragon Pearl, then it’s further purified by Ye Zhen’s cultivation techniques, transforming into spiritual power.

Facing such pure Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the High Grade Spirit Academy, after being purified once by the Mirage Dragon Pearl when absorbed into the body and almost becoming extremely pure, one pass of Ye Zhen’s cultivation techniques can then transform it into his own spiritual power.

The role of Ye Zhen’s Mirage Dragon Pearl, wherever he is cultivating in any graded spirit academy, is always autonomously operating; thus, strictly speaking, Ye Zhen’s Cultivation speed within the High Grade Academy might be about 10 to 20 percent slower than that of other martial artists.

But even so, compared to double the speed in the Mid-grade Academy, it was enough to surprise Ye Zhen.

Nevertheless, this led Ye Zhen to a question.

If the High Grade Academy, compared to the Mid-grade, already had such an enormous leap beyond normal bounds, what wonders would the Supreme Spirit Vein, called an Immortal Realm, produce?

Ye Zhen believed that the wonders produced within the Supreme Spirit Vein must be extraordinary; otherwise, so many top powers wouldn’t fight over it to death, resulting in rivers of blood!

With this thought, Ye Zhen couldn’t help but look forward to the Spirit Returning Assembly!

"The speed of cultivation here is fast, but currently, I only enjoy an upper-class monthly allowance, allowing me only five days of cultivation in the High Grade Spirit Academy; the time is indeed too short...."

It’s not enough even if he enjoyed a higher-class monthly allowance that allowed him to cultivate ten days a month in the High Grade Academy, in Ye Zhen’s view.

If he could continuously cultivate in the High Grade Academy, that would be truly enjoyable.

Ye Zhen had already made up his mind that after these five days of Cultivation ended, he must inquire if there could be a way to prolong his cultivation time in the High Grade Academy.

If he couldn’t find one, then at the very least, Ye Zhen would try to upgrade his monthly allowance tier at Moonlight Hall to an upper-class.

Cultivation knows no days or months; five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside Academy No. 68, while Ye Zhen was cultivating intently and becoming absorbed, the institute’s Guardian Light Screen suddenly shook, immediately awakening Ye Zhen from his cultivation state.

Within ten breaths, just as Ye Zhen had just ended his Cultivation, a massive compressive force suddenly came from within the academy with the flicker of the purple Identity Jade Token on Ye Zhen’s chest, like squeezing toothpaste, a massive burst of spiritual power directly expelled Ye Zhen from the academy.

Outside the academy doors, Ye Zhen tried to enter again but found it impossible; the miraculous nature of the formation was apparent.

Since he couldn’t enter, Ye Zhen could only leave, and he had already decided to ask the silver-haired elder to see if there was a way to cultivate in this Spirit Academy for a longer period.

If there was indeed a way, the silver-haired elder, as the guardian of the academy, must know of it.

Just when Ye Zhen was being sent out of the Spirit Academy by the formation, something was happening at the entrance of the Bamboo Sea Spirit Institute.

Wearing a fiery red cloak, looking immensely striking, Yua Huaisong, a First Stage of Vein Forging Realm powerhouse, was cursively berating the silver-haired elder.

"Damn you, old coot, I told you five days ago to reserve a Spirit Academy for me, and yet there’s still none, you old bast*rd, do you want a beating?"

The white-haired Bai Zizai was slowly standing up from the ground, still wearing a smile even though Yua Huaisong had pushed him to the ground.

"First come, first served, that’s the duty of this old man guarding the Bamboo Sea Spirit Institute. They came before you, so I reserved the soon-to-be-vacant Spirit Academy for them. That’s only fair!

If you want to enter the Spirit Academy for Cultivation, next time, please come earlier. In three days, a Spirit Academy will become available!" Bai Zizai said unhurriedly.

Beside, Dong Yan and Huo Ming, both at the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, watched Yua Huaisong’s fury with faces full of fear, their outfits suggesting they were also members of the Moonlight Hall.

"Hmph, then change the reservation! Among these two, one must agree to delay their use of the Spirit Academy!" Yua Huaisong pointed at the two Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists behind him, glaring as Dong Yan, who was also at the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, panicked.

"I agree, I agree to delay the use of the Spirit Academy!" Dong Yan immediately offered his Identity Jade Token, allowing Bai Zizai to change the reservation.

"You see, he’s willing to change the reservation already, you old thing, change it now!" Yua Huaisong demanded.

Unexpectedly, Bai Zizai, with his white hair, shook his head firmly, "Once a Spirit Talisman is issued, it cannot be changed! They may choose not to enter the Spirit Academy for Cultivation, they may give up this cultivation opportunity, but it cannot be rescheduled!"

"Old coot, you’re asking for it!" Yua Huaisong suddenly burst into rage!

Perhaps having had the experience of beating up Bai Zizai before, Yua Huaisong, furious, lunged at him and started pummeling him.

Even more reckless than last time, especially with his overpowering Red Flame Spiritual Power, it didn’t take long for Bai Zizai’s white hair to become singed, and his clothes ragged.

Yet, even while being beaten, the smile never disappeared from Bai Zizai’s face.

Seeing Bai Zizai maintaining his smile only infuriated Yua Huaisong further.

"Old fool, still smiling! Do you really think I’m joking? Harassing me time and again, I, Yua Huaisong, swear to the heavens today that if I don’t beat you every time I see you, then my name isn’t Yua Huaisong!" Amid his furious shouting, Yua Huaisong’s fist heavily pounded down.

"Yua Huaisong, when a martial artist makes a vow, it must be fulfilled!" Even being beaten to a bruised and swollen face, Bai Zizai remained defiant.

"Dare to talk back, see if I don’t smash those old teeth out!" With these words, Yua Huaisong raised his fist and smashed it towards Bai Zizai’s wrinkled mouth corner.

"Yua, stop!"

An angry yell suddenly came from behind, it was Ye Zhen, who had just come out of the Spirit Institute. Seeing this scene, he was overcome with anger and, transforming into a streak of light, he rushed over hastily.

"Hmm? It’s you, this bastard? Hahaha, this time, falling into my hands, watch me play you to death!"

With a roar, Yua Huaisong let go of Bai Zizai in his grip and pivoted, charging towards Ye Zhen like a fire meteor.

Almost simultaneously, a Blazing Flame Fist Imprint, burning fiercely, burst from Yua Huaisong’s chest, thundering towards Ye Zhen.

The Blazing Flame Fist Imprint!

Yua Huaisong’s first Divine Power Martial Skill!

The moment they engaged, Yua Huaisong utilized his Divine Power Martial Skill!

Seeing this, Dong Yan actually breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Dong, the attire of this fellow seems to be from our Moonlight Hall too?" Huo Ming said, "Afraid he’s going to suffer terribly?"

"Who cares, provoking Lord Yua is asking for trouble! We can hardly take care of ourselves, why bother about him? Let’s just seize the chance to enter the Spirit Academy early, missing this cultivation opportunity would be a huge loss." Dong Yan said.

"Indeed!" Huo Ming nodded, "Wonder how harsh Lord Yua will be, the last guy Yua Huaisong dealt with is still bedridden!"

"Yeah, with Lord Yua’s merciless hand, he’ll be down for at least a year or two, right?" Dong Yan said.

"Indeed... Hmm?" While they were talking, Huo Ming’s eyes suddenly bulged, incredibly shocked as he stuttered to Dong Yan, "Look... quick, look!"

Just then, not far away, Ye Zhen casually extended a jade-colored finger and actually dispersed Yua Huaisong’s Divine Power Martial Skill, the Blazing Flame Fist Imprint, with a single point!

Almost simultaneously, with a light press of Ye Zhen’s index finger, another jade-colored finger abruptly flew out, directly targeting Yua Huaisong’s forehead!

"Hmm, using that move again?" Seeing this, Yua Huaisong, somewhat surprised, snorted and punched out, colliding with Ye Zhen’s Floating Cloud Finger.

Ye Zhen’s lips curled into a smile that made Yua Huaisong slightly uneasy. Yes, it was a mocking smile! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
