After leaving behind a legend in the Combat faculty, Wang Baole returned to his cave abode in the Dharmic Armament faculty. He sat on the balcony in satisfaction and looked at the distant blue sky and white clouds. He was in a good mood as he picked up a bag of snacks and munched on them.
"I'm already so skinny. I need to nourish myself." Wang Baole sighed as he touched his chubby face and looked at his bulging tummy. Although his weight-loss plan had only resulted in him losing spirit fat and he still looked like a little fatty, Wang Baole was already very satisfied with what he had.
"Now, those fat grandpas can't catch up to me, right?" Wang Baole chuckled as he felt the boundless lifeblood in his body. As he felt increasingly satisfied, he took out another bag of snacks and ate them.
When dusk arrived, he was already full from the snacks. He ignored the small mountain of snacks on the balcony and returned to his cave abode to begin refining Spirit Stones.
With his previous experience, he circulated the Great Void Energy Devouring Art. Soon, the surrounding Spirit Qi gathered and was absorbed by the devouring seed. It condensed on his right hand and finally formed a rhombus-shaped Spirit Stone!
Although the Spirit Stone was not especially crystalline, it was rather translucent. When he held it in his hand, it was like a treasure. It left Wang Baole grinning from ear to ear.
"The purity is at 75%. I have to work harder and try to reach 90% purity as soon as possible." In his excitement, Wang Baole thought of the position and authority of Head Prefect. His heart burned as he hurriedly cultivated.
Time passed and seven days passed in a blink of an eye.
During these seven days, Wang Baole occasionally went to the Spirit Stones Hall and did not work as hard as before. However, he still spent a lot of time cultivating the Great Void Energy Devouring Art. Slowly, he discovered a problem.
After the Spirit Stone's purity reached 75%, it could not improve any further. It was as though it had encountered a bottleneck. No matter how hard he tried, it was to no avail.
This left Wang Baole anxious. After trying for a few more days, he realized that there was no progress. He patted his tummy in frustration and took out the black mask as he mumbled.
"Could it be that I've cultivated wrongly? The text was blurry last time. What didn't I notice? "With this in mind, Wang Baole had no other choice. He took out the Dream Pillow and entered the dream again.
It was still the same world of ice and snow. Snowflakes fell from the sky, and the cold wind was bone-chilling. Wang Baole was not in the mood to enjoy the cold here. He quickly looked at the blurred mask in his hand.
After a long while, when he saw the words again, he studied them carefully for a long time before finally confirming that he had not made any mistakes in his cultivation.
"That's strange … That's right, but why can't it go any further after reaching 75%?" Wang Baole felt even more depressed. After muttering to himself, he sighed and was about to leave the dreamscape to think of other methods when suddenly, as if the black mask had heard Wang Baole's words, it began to distort rapidly.
This scene shocked Wang Baole. He quickly looked over and was shocked to find that the Void Qi Devouring Incantation on the mask had disappeared. Instead, new words appeared on the mask.
The words that appeared actually told him the answer to how to solve the problem of Spirit Stone Purity!
Such a human-like scene shocked Wang Baole. He rubbed his eyes and suddenly stared at the mask and shouted.
"Come out! Who's in there? I see you. Come out!"
After saying that, Wang Baole stared at the mask as if he was facing a great enemy. However, after waiting for a long time, no new changes occurred. In the end, Wang Baole looked at the words carefully again, and his eyes gradually lit up.
"Cleansing Pill …"
The words on the mask clearly told Wang Baole that if he wanted to reach a higher level of purity, he would need a medicinal pill called the Cleansing Pill. Only such a medicinal pill could purge the impurities in his body and allow the Spirit Qi to flow more smoothly in his body. In this way, the purity could be increased.
Upon seeing this, Wang Baole felt conflicted. On the one hand, he was tempted by the method, but on the other hand, he felt that the mask was too strange. Even after he left the dream world, he was still hesitating. After logging on to the Spirit Intranet, he began searching for the Cleansing Pill.
Not long after, Wang Baole found an introduction to the Cleansing Pill on the school's Spirit Intranet. The pill was harmless to humans and had excellent effects. It could purge the impurities in the body, allowing Ancient Martial realm warriors to be more agile.
However, the pill was extremely precious and difficult to refine. It was not something that ordinary Alchemy faculty students had the qualifications to refine. Only Alchemy faculty Head Prefects might be lucky enough to refine one, but they would usually consume it themselves.
However, as the herbs used were rare, even Head Prefects would lament their inadequacy. Only Alchemy faculty teachers could spend a lot of money to refine it.
Therefore, the Cleansing Pill was basically priceless in the entire Ethereal Dao College's Lower School.
After reading the Cleansing Pill's introduction, Wang Baole no longer hesitated. He felt that even though the mask was strange, the pill was indeed beneficial to him. Immediately, he became passionate.
In the next few days, other than attending classes and cultivating, he spent almost all of his time investigating this pill. He even contacted Little White Rabbit and Du Min, who had entered the Alchemy Department, to ask them to help him look for information. However, there were no clues in the end and he was at his wit's end.
After all, the pill was precious and rare. Even if someone were to sell it, it was not something that ordinary students like Bunny and Du Min would know. As for Wang Baole, although he was specially recruited, he had only been in the school for less than a year. It was still difficult for him to come into contact with such a level.
However, hard work paid off. Bunny was very concerned about Wang Baole's needs. She always felt that Wang Baole had saved her life. Even though she knew the inside story of the test, she was just like Liu Daobin. She could not forget Wang Baole's bloody figure deep in her memories.
Therefore, she was especially serious about Wang Baole's matters. In addition, she was sweet and adorable, and she had a lively personality. A month later, she helped Wang Baole find out a piece of information.
"Brother Baole, there will be an auction in Ethereal City in half a month. There will be a Cleansing Pill in it!"
When Wang Baole received Bunny's voice transmission ring message, he immediately became excited. He hugged the voice transmission ring and gave it a big kiss.
"Sister Xiaoya, I love you so much!"
At that moment, in the Alchemy faculty dormitory, Bunny was sitting on the bed. When she heard Wang Baole's kissing sound from the voice transmission ring, her face immediately turned red. Du Min, who was sitting opposite her, looked over suspiciously.
"Xiaoya, what's wrong?"
"It's … It's nothing …" Bunny hurriedly lowered her head as her heart pounded. While she felt shy, she also had a strange, indescribable feeling.
As for Wang Baole, he was pacing around the cave abode in excitement. He waved his fists as his eyes revealed excitement and agitation.
"The auction requires Spirit Stones, but Spirit Stones are too easy for me. A 75% purity Spirit Stone is also very valuable. Most importantly, I don't even need the cost." Wang Baole laughed out loud. He felt that the Cleansing Pill was already in the bag. This was because he had already accumulated quite a lot of Spirit Stones during the process of refining them.
Furthermore, he did not have a strong need for Spirit Stones. Therefore, from his point of view, these were just worldly possessions. Even if he used all of them to exchange for the Cleansing Pill, he would not feel the pinch.
"However, I can't let my guard down. The high officials' autobiographies say that one should not underestimate one's enemies." With that thought in mind, Wang Baole immediately decided to refine more Spirit Stones in the next two weeks.
Therefore, for the next two weeks, Wang Baole spent most of his time refining Spirit Stones. Time passed quickly, and the auction arrived as scheduled. That morning, Wang Baole walked out of the cave abode in high spirits.
Ethereal Dao College was located in Green Forest Lake, which was in the eastern suburbs of Ethereal City. To the students of the Dao College, there were no restrictions on entering or leaving the city. Although it was Wang Baole's first time there, he was no stranger to it. After taking a boat to the shore of the lake, he headed straight for Ethereal City.
He soon arrived. Compared to his hometown, Phoenix City, Ethereal City was just too big. It was as big as more than a hundred Phoenix Cities. After all, Phoenix City was just one of the countless small cities in the Federation, while Ethereal City was one of the seventeen main cities in the Federation!
Outside the city, there were gigantic walls that resembled metal armor. There were countless sharp spikes that emitted light that permeated the city walls. As the sunlight flashed, a faint murderous intent emanated.
Apart from that, there was a massive array formation that surrounded the city. At that moment, it was only activated normally and was not activated to its maximum extent. But even so, the city exuded an astonishing suppressive force that enveloped the entire area.
From afar, one could see a large number of towers on the city walls. Each of them held a gigantic sphere that rotated in the air. Occasionally, lightning would spread out from within. It contained a terrifying power that seemed to be able to target all enemies in the sky.
All of this was due to the ancient greenish-bronze sword that had come from the cosmos. After it pierced through the sun, the sword hilt shattered and fell to Earth. It covered a huge area, and many of them were collected and controlled by the factions of the past. Different schools of thought appeared in cultivation techniques that seemed to blossom everywhere. It caused the entire Federation's structure to change.
Although the main body was still dominated by the Federation, there were still four major factions under the Federation. There were also many smaller factions that relied on them. If not for the Ferocious Beast War that broke out at the beginning of the Spirit Inception Era, the Federation might have disintegrated long ago.
It was also because of the influence of the Ferocious Beast War that although the Federation appeared to be at peace, there were still occasional conflicts between the large and small factions. However, they restrained themselves to a certain extent and did not engage in large-scale conflicts.
After all, the Ferocious Beast War back then was a catastrophe for everyone in the Federation. The Federation faced a life-and-death crisis. All of this was because of the sudden appearance of spiritual energy.
With the appearance of spiritual energy, humans were not the only ones who obtained the opportunity to cultivate. There were also wild beasts and plants. And the rich spiritual energy caused a large number of wild beasts, plants, and birds to mutate. They surpassed humans and were extremely powerful.
The Ferocious Beast War also began because of this.
Although the Ferocious Beast War was over and the Federation controlled the cities, in fact, be it the wilderness or the sea, they were all gathering places for Ferocious Beasts and birds.
Therefore, not only did the cities need strong defenses, but it was also dangerous outside the cities. Therefore, most people lived in the cities their entire lives. When they went out, they would need to form groups or be escorted by combat cultivators.
It was just like Wang Baole and the other students when they entered the Dao Academy.
