Chapter 29 - Chapter 29: Extraction

  Chapter 29: Extraction:

  As the five departed, the swirling energy shield surrounding the vast room began to slowly shrink.

  A moment later, it shrank to a tiny dot and dissipated with a subtle crackling sound.

  The entire room was now empty. No one could have imagined that it had once been filled with countless treasures that would have caused a sensation in the outside world.

  At the sound of the door opening, a gray-robed figure's sleeves twitched slightly, and Xiao Ling and the others felt a vast, powerful invisible energy sweep over them. The intensity of the energy filled them with a sense of shock.

  The invisible energy seemed merely a scanning force, lasting only ten seconds before receding like a tide and dissipating completely.

  "Time's up! Everyone, leave! Remember, you must not reveal a single word of what happened here today, including any information from within the library," a hoarse, elderly voice slowly lingered near the door.

  Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, indicating they would abide by the rules.

  Seeing that everyone had come out of the library, Hu Qian came up to them with a kind smile on his face and said in a calm tone: "Have you all chosen the treasures you like? No one will go back empty-handed."

  Xiao Ling did not intend to hide it. He directly took out the porcelain bottle containing the seventh-level phantom gold fire, and joked with a smile: "The academy must have spent a lot of money this time. Two earth-level intermediate fighting skills, two earth-level intermediate exercises, and a seventh-level beast fire. The academy is really rich. In our Jia Ma Empire, even the royal family does not have earth-level fighting skills and exercises." The total value of the items of several people is about tens of millions of gold coins, and some things cannot be exchanged for gold coins and need to be bartered.

  Hearing this, Hu Qian's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly, "This reward is indeed much more valuable than before, but it's all you deserve. Don't worry, this little bit is just a drop in the bucket for the dean."

  Xiao Ling nodded, noncommittal. Mang Tianchi was an elder of the Thunder Clan, one of the Eight Ancient Clans. His strength had reached the level of a Semi-Saint, and his wealth was undoubtedly immense. This little bit was nothing to him. It was a shame that the patriarch of the Xiao Clan, also one of the Eight Ancient Clans, could only use a mid-level Xuan-level technique. How could the gap between people be so great?

  Hu Qian glanced at the five people, confirming that none of them were injured. Then he cupped his fists again towards the two gray-robed men and turned to walk towards the invisible door frame that had been torn open by the invisible hand.

  "Follow me closely. Don't touch those spatial wrinkles, or I won't be able to save you." Hu Qian tilted his head and warned as they were about to pass through the invisible door frame. Then, keeping his upper body still, he took a step and stepped out of the door. Xiao Ling and the others followed cautiously, not daring to move.

  With Xiao Ling and the others gone, the small valley, hidden somewhere, finally returned to its former tranquility. It would not reopen until the end of the next year's Inner Court Trials.

  Returning to the room, Hu Qian closed the door he had just opened. He then gazed at the five people who had just emerged, stroked his beard, and said with a smile, "You've collected your rewards. Next, we'll head to the inner courtyard for training. Once there, you'll have to worry about running out of fire energy. You all must work together, or you might get bullied."

  Everyone nodded, expressing their understanding. Xiao Ling didn't care. He'd just have to win a few rounds in the fire energy hunting competition, and with his alchemy skills, he'd have almost unlimited fire energy. As for being bullied, Xiao Ling didn't even think about it. If pushed to the limit, he'd just use Rekongza to fight.

  "Alright, if you're okay, go back. Report here in two days, and I'll take you to the inner courtyard then." Seeing that everyone understood, Hu Qian didn't hold them back any longer.

  With a slight bow, they left the study, chatting briefly along the way before returning to their own courtyards to train.

  Back in his room, Xiao Ling summoned the system panel with a thought.

  "System, open my personal panel."

  Seeing that there were only eleven draws left, Xiao Ling activated a ten-draw streak.

  "System, use ten draws!"

  Xiao Ling had no interest in the strange things and directly stored them into the system space. He did have quite a lot of gold coins, so he took them out and put them in the storage ring. Money is still useful when you are away from home. He took out the recipe and several pills and began to examine them one by one.

  [Suxin Pill: A seventh-grade intermediate elixir. Taking this while refining elixirs can help stabilize the mind, thereby increasing the success rate of alchemy.]

  [Returning Life Pill: A seventh-grade advanced elixir. This elixir can save a life, as long as the victim's head isn't chopped off or their heart isn't shattered.

  [Life-Devouring Pill: This pill can elevate a Grand Dou Shi to Dou Wang in a very short period of time, but the user only has three years of life left.]

  Looking at the pills before him, they were of little use to Xiao Ling right now. He saved the Life-Devouring Pill for survival, and the Suxin Pill could be taken in advance when refining higher-grade elixirs. While the Life-Devouring Pill could directly elevate a Dou Wang, and he was confident it could reach Dou Huang within three years, it was an elixir that squeezed potential and vitality. To ensure a smooth path to becoming an emperor, he shouldn't take it.

  [Zongji Pill Recipe: This recipe records the refining techniques and required ingredients for the seventh-grade advanced Zongji Pill. This pill can elevate a Dou Zong powerhouse by one or two stars, and can only be taken once in a lifetime.] Xiao Ling picked up the prescription and read it through .

  He was very satisfied. Although this thing was useless at the moment, it could save a lot of time in cultivation when it was refined in the future, and it could also be used to exchange some items with others.

  After putting all the items back into the storage space, Xiao Ling began to absorb the seventh-level beast fire. His fighting spirit improved slightly, but the grade of the "Burning Art" was still at the low level of the Xuan level. He couldn't help but sigh: "Before breaking through the Xuan level, the beast fire can still be of some help. After breaking through the Xuan level, it seems that it will be difficult to improve the grade of the "Burning Art" without the strange fire."

  He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. After absorbing the beast fire, Xiao Ling's life returned to cultivation, refining pills, riding the Split Sky Seat, chatting and laughing with his cousin and senior schoolmate. He lived a leisurely life of going to the same place every day. Two days passed in a flash.
