After a few days, Wang Baole had already memorized seventy to eighty thousand Inscriptions. The reason why he was so fast was because of the Crystal Memory Pills and the pills that Liu Daobin had sent over to aid his memory.
Although the effects of these pills were not bad, there were not enough of them. This made Wang Baole very depressed. Even though he was the Head Prefect and had spirit stones, there were not many pills to begin with. At the same time, the students of the Inscriptions Hall were in high demand, so the purchasing process was somewhat slow.
Even if he used the power of the Head Prefect, he still could not keep up with the speed of consumption. Most importantly, Wang Baole understood that this was not a long-term solution. The Qi Fostering Manual had introduced that the method of using pills was only effective in the initial stages. For matters related to memory, one would quickly develop resistance to the pills. In the end, one still had to rely on one's own hard work.
Unless he could get some pills with better effects. Although there was a limit, they could still help him memorize more than a hundred thousand Inscriptions. For this, he had contacted Xie Haiyang. However, Xie Haiyang also needed time to obtain high-quality pills. However, he had told Wang Baole that there was an underground black market in Ethereal City. Perhaps he could obtain some from there.
At the same time, he had also told Wang Baole how to go to the underground black market. However, he had also reminded Wang Baole that although spirit stones were hard currency, if he encountered priceless treasures, he would still have to barter.
At the same time, he had to hide his identity. After all, there were all sorts of people there. If he was not careful, he was afraid that trouble would befall him.
Just as Wang Baole was vexed over memorizing, Liu Daobin came once again.
As soon as he saw him, he immediately went forward and bowed respectfully.
"Head Prefect, Sun Qifang's case has been investigated thoroughly. The problem is indeed not small."
"What problem?" Wang Baole put down the inscriptions dictionary in his hand and pressed his swollen forehead. He was about to take out a bottle of Ice Spirit Water when he realized that Liu Daobin had already acted. He took out a bottle from his bag and placed it in his hand. This considerate action made Wang Baole very satisfied.
"This Sun Qifang is also quite pitiful. It was just a small theft that was not successful. Previously, Jiang Lin used this to blackmail and actually wanted half of the Sun family's property. If he did not satisfy Jiang Lin's demands, he would be sent to the court of the Taoist College for internal trial. Now that his family heard that Head Prefect was cleaning up the discipline, he braced himself came to me and asked if I could be magnanimous. Head Prefect, what do you think?" Liu Daobin said..
Wang Baole came to a realization. He had a rough guess about this matter previously. Now that Liu Daobin had confirmed it, he made a decision. Sun Qifang was indeed in the wrong, but Jiang Lin had gone overboard. Hence, he pondered for a moment and looked up at Liu Daobin.
"Sun Qifang is indeed in the wrong, but there is no need to punish him so severely. Just give him a disciplinary action and keep him in the hospital for observation so that he can correct his mistakes."
"Head Prefect, you are fair and just. I'm impressed!" Liu Daobin praised and cupped his fists.
Liu Daobin's words made Wang Baole feel very comfortable. He picked up the Ice Spirit Water on the table and slowly drank it.
Seeing that Wang Baole was in a good mood, Liu Daobin took a few steps forward and whispered into Wang Baole's ear.
"In order to express their gratitude, their family is willing to donate 500 grams of 90% pure Mystic Silver Sand to our College Discipline Department."
"Mystic Silver Sand?" Wang Baole blinked. He knew that Mystic Silver Sand was a forging material that was often used to refine high-quality artifacts. He then looked at Liu Daobin and knew that Liu Daobin had received benefits from the other party. However, Wang Baole had his own judgment regarding this case. He knew that even if Liu Daobin was biased, he would not dare to reverse the facts.
At the same time, the Sun family was very good at conducting themselves. They did not give it to him privately, but to the College Discipline Department. Furthermore, he had already decided to handle it impartially, so it could not be considered as him being greedy. Hence, he picked up the Ice Spirit Water and pondered over what to say before saying lightly.
"Daobin, do you know what the last thing I regret in my life is? It's becoming Head Prefect! "
"How I wish I wasn't Head Prefect. That way, I wouldn't have encountered so many troubles. I would have plenty of time to study. Forget it. You can do as you deem fit when it comes to gifting things to our College Discipline Department. However, you must not act rashly. Everything has to be handled impartially!" Wang Baole sighed as he swept his gaze at Liu Daobin. These words were something he had learned from the high officials' autobiographies.
Liu Daobin hurriedly acknowledged. While expressing his loyalty, he also indicated that he remembered Wang Baole's teachings.
Wang Baole smiled and chatted for a while before yawning. Liu Daobin immediately understood and took his leave respectfully.
After Liu Daobin left, Wang Baole sat there and finished the Ice Spirit Water in his hand. He was still mulling over Sun Qifang's matter. Although the matter was settled, Wang Baole truly realized that the four major Dao Colleges had an extremely high standing in the Federation! A Head Prefect had control over a student, causing a family clan to be in a dilemma. Although it wasn't a large family clan, it was enough to prove the transcendent status of the Dao Colleges!
In fact, Wang Baole had more or less heard of this in the past. He understood that although the four major Dao Colleges appeared to be scattered, they were in fact an entity akin to an alliance. They were bound together for good or ill. They were like massive entities with extremely high standing in the Federation. Be it the former president or the current president, they were all from the four major Dao Colleges. There were also countless positions that were filled by graduates from the four major Dao Colleges.
It could even be said that almost half of the positions in the Federation were within the four major Dao Colleges' system. However, there were checks and balances in this matter, and that was the seventeen Senate!
The seventeen City Lords formed the seventeen Senate. They could decide the main policies of the Federation and restrict the Federation's president. Of course, cultivation levels and the number of experts played a huge role in this.
Both sides appeared to be checks and balances, but in fact, due to the fact that the four major factions were seemingly united but actually divided, they had no choice but to be closely united.
The four major factions were formed due to the history of the Ferocious Beast War and the fragments of the ancient sword of the cosmos that had arrived. They had each obtained quite a bit, forming a unique system and becoming independent.
Wang Baole had followed the news before. He knew that they were the Three Moon Group, the Galactic Dusk Sect, the Plume Manifestation Connate Sect, and the Five Generation Sky Clan!
On the surface, these four factions obeyed the Federation and acknowledged that they were a part of the Federation. However, in reality, they were highly autonomous and were independent marquises!
Although none of them could contend with the main body of the Federation, their combined strength was enough to strike fear into the Federation.
Now that he was the Head Prefect, Wang Baole had a deeper understanding of this power. After much consideration, he confirmed that there was no problem with his handling of the matter. With a clear conscience, he patted his stomach in satisfaction, picked up the inscription dictionary, and continued to recite the inscriptions.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. When Liu Daobin came again, he brought the Mystic Silver Sand. Each grain of the Silver Sand was dazzling and looked like a precious treasure under the sunlight. It was also extremely hard. Wang Baole took a look at it. Although he had never seen it before, he could tell that it was extraordinary.
"Head Prefect, this is the Mystic Silver Sand that the Sun Family sent over as thanks for the impartiality of the College Discipline Department. Please handle it."
Wang Baole looked at the Mystic Silver Sand and then looked at Liu Daobin. His gaze made Liu Daobin nervous. His forehead gradually broke out in sweat. After a long while, Wang Baole spoke calmly.
"Don't do it again!"
Upon hearing Wang Baole's words, Liu Daobin quickly agreed. He did not notice that his back was already wet. Wang Baole's gaze had given him immense pressure. He understood that Wang Baole was very clear about his relationship with the Sun Family. However, although he had received benefits from the Sun Family, he had indeed investigated thoroughly and was not biased towards Sun Qifang.
He gradually understood Wang Baole's principles. He understood that Wang Baole's principles were different from his father's judgment. He had misunderstood this matter from the beginning. Wang Baole's words about propriety were actually for him to have standards when investigating and not for the sake of asking for items.
Thinking of this, Liu Daobin took a deep breath. When he looked at Wang Baole, he felt even more respect. He knew how he should do things in the future.
As for the Mystic Silver Sand, Wang Baole did not keep all of it. Instead, he gave a portion to Liu Daobin so that he could give it to the members of the College Discipline Department.
After sending off Liu Daobin, Wang Baole did not look at the Mystic Silver Sand. He knew that such a refinement material was of no practical use to him at the moment.
"What I need the most now is a high-quality memory-enhancing pill." Wang Baole thought for a moment and decided to take the Silver Sand to the underground black market to exchange for better pills.
Wang Baole knew that exchanging pills at the black market required him to hide his identity to prevent unnecessary trouble. Therefore, he disguised himself and left the Dao Academy.
On the way, he looked down at his figure and scratched his head.
"It still won't do. My figure is too slender. It's very easy for people to recognize me …" Vexed, Wang Baole gritted his teeth and found a store to buy a tight-fitting suit. After putting it on, he looked at his body that was stretched tight in the suit and felt that it was not very effective.
"Sigh, it's time for me to lose weight …" Wang Baole was somewhat vexed. He felt that he could be considered a powerhouse in the world of weight loss, but he just could not slim down.
"This won't do. From tomorrow onwards, I have to continue losing weight!" Wang Baole's eyes revealed a determined look. He bought another seven or eight pieces and wore all of them. Finally, he completely concealed his figure and finally put on a loose robe.
From his figure, even people familiar with him would find it difficult to recognize him at a glance.
However, it was too tight. Wang Baole found it difficult to breathe, but in order not to expose his identity, he endured it. He found a mask and wore it. His entire appearance changed drastically as he rushed to the underground black market.
"From tomorrow onwards, I won't eat. I'm on a diet!" On the way, Wang Baole walked very stiffly. He was afraid that if he was not careful, the tight-fitting suit would be torn open. Hence, he made up his mind to lose weight again. However, just as he made up his mind, he could not help but stop when he passed by a snack shop.
"This …" Wang Baole licked his lips and looked at the advertisement board outside the shop. It was a poster of a new snack and he struggled for a moment.
"Since I'm starting to lose weight tomorrow, it's fine if I eat more today." Thinking of this, Wang Baole hurried over and bought a few packets. He ate as he walked. When he finished all of them, he was satisfied and had already arrived at the underground black market.
The process of exchanging pills was very smooth. Soon, Wang Baole had exchanged enough high-quality pills. He left the black market and walked in the bustling Ethereal City. Just as he was looking for a place to take off the tight-fitting suit on his body, he suddenly heard a scream from the street he was on.
"Get out of the way!"
"Heavens, how did he pilot the airship!!"
"It's falling!!"
As the screams came from the mouths of countless passersby on the street, an ear-piercing whistling sound spread in the sky. Wang Baole was stunned for a moment and immediately looked over. Immediately, he saw a smoking airship in the sky. It seemed to have lost control and was plummeting towards him.
The speed of the airship was too fast. Even though the surrounding people scattered in panic, there were still some people who could not dodge in time. Among the crowd, there was a seven or eight year old girl with a school bag on her back. At that moment, she seemed to be frightened, and before she could cry, the airship crashed down with a boom.
Even though it did not hit the little girl, it still scraped her body. Immediately, the little girl was covered in blood and flew out. When she landed on the ground, she was already on the verge of death.
