Five days passed in a flash.
Li Yi stayed alone in the Cultivation Hut, not leaving his door. During this ti, he was engaged in both ditation and Refining Gang Qi, as well as recuperating from his injuries. He was extrely busy, and the five days of uninterrupted cultivation also yielded so harvest. His injuries had fully recovered, and his Gang Qi was even more vigorous than before; he was very close to stepping into the Gang Qi Realm.
During this ti, the biggest gain...
Li Yi looked at the resplendent divine light that was flying around him, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He cut out a strand of soul power and learned the Art of Controlling Objects, finally achieving so success. He could now briefly control the Fei Mu Needle, but there were significant limitations; he could only make the divine needle fly out for up to twenty ters. Beyond that distance, he couldn’t control it anymore.
Moreover, the Fei Mu Needle could not stay away from the body for a long ti; it must be carried to ensure that one’s body’s magnetic field could cover and nourish the soul power on the divine needle.
If it left his side for too long, the soul power would be eroded, and the Art of Controlling Objects would fail.
To put it in terms of Sword Coins, Li Yi did not have Mana to preserve that strand of soul power, so he could only employ this roundabout thod.
But no matter what, he had gained an extra killer move.
If the Fei Mu Needle was unleashed, an Evolver of the Soul Realm could be instantly dood if hit carelessly.
"Whoosh!"
The divine needle flashed past and landed in a glass bottle in Li Yi’s hand. The bottle contained clear water, sealing the brilliance of the divine needle.
Now he sowhat understood.
Why so ancient novels ntion Sword Immortals storing their swords in gourds, he had not known the principle before and couldn’t understand those descriptions, but now he realized that if he replaced this glass bottle with a gourd, wouldn’t the divine needle be equivalent to a flying sword? If his Art of Controlling Objects could beco stronger, he could also kill soone from a hundred steps away.
The further one practiced, the closer the path of cultivation felt.
This is probably what they call the universal path and converging roads from different routes.
After putting away the Fei Mu Needle, Li Yi no longer continued to cultivate in his room because he had received a notification from his instructor, Zhou Yu, earlier today. The issue of gene warriors invading the Golden Academy had been completely dealt with, and everything was restored to how it was before. As a new student joining the Golden Academy, it was ti to attend his first class.
He checked the ti; it should be almost there.
Li Yi took a shower, packed his things, and then left.
Just as he stepped out the door.
Li Yi imdiately felt several gazes turning towards him.
"Hmm?"
Li Yi’s expression shifted as he looked up, and his face showed montary surprise. He discovered that after these five days, many people had moved into the nearby Cultivation Huts. These were the new students who joined later. A cursory sweep revealed six or seven individuals, and among them were several familiar ones he had encountered during the previous assessnt.
"Li Yi, do you want to continue the deal from the Tian Han City assessnt? I have been waiting for you for three days. If it weren’t for the instructor’s notification this ti, I guess you wouldn’t co out," the tall, purple-eyed man said as he walked over from a nearby Cultivation Hut.
"A spaceship in exchange for my Martial Arts techniques?" Li Yi spoke, "I rember this matter. However, I glanced at the academy’s marketplace, and the value of a spaceship is only about thirty thousand, while the value of my Martial Arts heritage is at least a hundred thousand. If you want to trade with , you will need to bring out three spaceships. If you agree, we can trade at any ti."
At these words, the purple-eyed man in armor fixed a sharp gaze, fell silent for a mont, and then said, "You’re jacking up the price, that’s dishonest."
"I am conducting a fair trade. Moreover, I am not being dishonest. I did not agree to your deal back in Tian Han City. I only said we would continue the trade at the Golden Academy. If you don’t believe , you can ask Di Zhu’an," Li Yi said, gesturing to his side.
There stood a young man with a hot aura and a sun totem on his forehead, exuding a mysterious and extraordinary vibe.
Di Zhu’an had also co to the Golden Academy and got assigned to Area C as Li Yi’s neighbor.
"Indeed, Li Yi did not agree to the trade then; there’s no issue of being dishonest. As for jacking up the price... since it’s a trade, it needs to be fair and equivalent. An unequal trade is not a trade," Di Zhu’an calmly said, "My cross-realm points are very valuable in the student marketplace, almost enough to exchange for a damaged extraordinary item, which is nearly equivalent to your Martial Arts heritage, Li Yi. What do you think? Shall we trade?"
"Sell your cross-realm points, get a hundred thousand points and then co to buy my Martial Arts heritage," Li Yi said after thinking for a mont.
He had no use for cross-realm points for the ti being and instead needed money to spend in the Golden Academy’s marketplace to purchase what he desired.
"Alright, no problem," Di Zhu’an imdiately revealed a smile.
Although the thod changed, the content of the trade did not, which was acceptable to him.
"Li Yi, a transcendental tal weapon here is only worth ten thousand. It seems I need to up the ante as well, Li Yi. What do you want? How about I exchange this damaged extraordinary item with you?" Suddenly, Jiang Mingtian stepped out from the Cultivation Hut, holding a ruby-red gemstone in his hand.
This gemstone was a fragnt from so unknown source but possessed a powerful energy field, no doubt an extraordinary item.
"A damaged extraordinary item?" the others looked at Jiang Mingtian.
Knowing the guy was wealthy, they didn’t expect him to be so affluent.
To carry an extraordinary item with him.
"No need for that, I have one of those," Li Yi responded, as he currently did not worry about the exposure of the damaged extraordinary item’s news, for now, he had the strength to possess one.
However, he also knew that Sword Coins were special, so he still concealed the fact that his item was incomplete.
You have one, too?
Well, looks like you all have your secrets, huh?
When the others heard this, they imdiately felt a sense of unfairness.
"Haha, so that’s how it is." Jiang Mingtian laughed, and then put away the crimson Ruby: "So, Li Yi, what do you want? Just say the word."
He wasn’t surprised that Li Yi possessed an incomplete treasure.
After all, in the Golden Academy, such treasures were expensive but not rare.
However, Jiang Mingtian was determined to acquire Li Yi’s Martial Arts inheritance, even if the price was a bit higher, because he had truly experienced the benefits of Martial Arts.
"The conditions remain the sa, the trade as previously discussed will do," Li Yi spoke.
Huh?
At these words, Jiang Mingtian was stunned.
His own offer had been an Extraordinary weapon and taming an Extraordinary Creature.
It might have seed a reasonable price before.
But now, Jiang Mingtian realized that the price was too low; in this deal, Li Yi would be at a slight loss.
Then, Jiang Mingtian realized that Li Yi was repaying a favor, not trying to make a profit from him.
With this thought, he imdiately smiled and said, "Alright, let’s proceed with the prior agreent."
Jiang Mingtian agreed to the deal and also took note of Li Yi’s favor, deciding to look for an opportunity to repay it later.
Then he shifted the topic and looked at the purple-eyed man saying: "Just by looking at you, I can tell you must have chosen the path of genetic warriors. I’ve heard that the Golden Academy has deals with the Resistance of World Number 6, which includes genetic potions. However, those potions are of inferior quality; they can at best help you reach the fifth level of genetic warriors. While Cultivation and evolution can help you compensate for genetic defects, combining them with the Martial Arts Realm to tap into potential will allow you to go much farther."
"Mixing the three disciplines has its advantages. Sotis, it’s worth the investnt, don’t you think?"
Upon hearing this, the purple-eyed man’s expression changed slightly: "It seems you’ve gathered quite a bit of information these past few days."
Jiang Mingtian was right.
If he could obtain the Martial Arts inheritance, he would be cultivating three disciplines: genetics, evolution, and Martial Arts.
The combination of the three would take him to greater heights.
That was why he was willing to sell his spaceship to exchange for Li Yi’s Martial Arts Cultivation thod. After all, a spaceship is an external asset, while true power is fundantal. He just didn’t expect that after arriving at the Golden Academy, the Martial Arts inheritance would be so expensive, and his previously valuable spaceship would depreciate in worth.
"How about adding a set of liquid tal armor?" Suddenly, the purple-eyed man took a deep breath, and the sci-fi armor on his body liquified, pooling together before turning into a gold-colored box that landed on the ground.
"No need, I acquired one of those five days ago from a genetic warrior. If you want the Martial Arts inheritance, it’s fine, the sa as Di Zhu’an, one hundred thousand points," Li Yi declared calmly.
"I understand. Give so ti to accumulate enough money, and I’ll co to buy it from you. I hope you won’t raise the price by then," the purple-eyed man did not refuse, he rely nodded calmly.
Li Yi said, "I am not a swindler; the trade just needs to be fair."
If he got the money, he could buy anything and wouldn’t be limited to only purchasing spaceships and armor.
"By the way, what sort of currency is used within the Golden Academy, Jiang Mingtian, do you know?" Suddenly, he turned to his neighbor, Jiang Mingtian.
"Eh? You don’t know?" Jiang Mingtian was surprised.
Li Yi said, "I’ve been busy with Cultivation in the past few days; I haven’t had the ti to look into it."
Jiang Mingtian shook his head with a smile: "Alright, let explain. This is the virtual currency issued internally by the Golden Academy, used for transactions between students. The anchor is the number of interdinsional travels. Points can be exchanged for interdinsional travel opportunities. Of course, the cost varies depending on the type of travel. For example, a random interdinsional squad spot costs ten thousand points. If you want to travel to a specific world and only allow your own people to participate, it costs one hundred thousand points."
"So that’s how it is." Li Yi’s expression shifted slightly.
He never expected Golden Academy to actually offer interdinsional travel services.
But the charge of one hundred thousand points for a single interdinsional gate opening was indeed steep.
"Wait, what about round trip?" Li Yi suddenly noticed a loophole.
Jiang Mingtian spread his hands: "If it’s exclusively opened for you, of course, the cost is doubled. If you want to save money, you wait for the next group to go, and then you find a way back with them."
"Damn, price gougers," Li Yi couldn’t help but curse.
"No choice, who asked the Golden Academy to control the top treasures and interdinsional coordinates?" Jiang Mingtian said. "If we use incomplete treasures to travel between dinsions, the cost isn’t small either. Three incomplete treasures could open the interdinsional gate four tis, but without coordinates and an interdinsional machine, that’s equivalent to three hundred thousand points for two round trips. Moreover, once used, the treasures are completely damaged."
"The pricing at the Golden Academy is fixed with almost no room for negotiation."
