After receiving the news, An Lin and the others began to bid farewell to their family and friends on Earth.
"Wait for my news, Dad. The next time we meet, I'll take you to the Tai Chu Continent." An Lin gave the man before him a hug with a smile on his face.
He had already decided to take his father to the Tai Chu Continent prior to graduation.
The cultivation environment on the Tai Chu Continent was much better than on Earth.
Furthermore, An Mingchuan would be able to cultivate at the Four Nine Immortal Sect with all of the pavilion lords assisting him, so it was obvious which side was better.
"Don't forget about me, Fake Daoist Priest!" Tian Lingling raised her little hand as a reminder.
An Lin patted Tian Lingling's head with a smile. "You have to work hard in your cultivation. It would be embarrassing if you couldn't even pass our sect's entrance trial."
"Tch!" Tian Lingling rolled her eyes with displeasure. "You're looking down on the most exceptional prodigy of the younger generation on Earth!"
An Lin nodded upon hearing this. "That's right."
Tian Lingling: "???"
What followed was a flurry of little fists pummeling his chest.
An Lin had attained initial success in his body of the War God, so Tian Lingling's pummeling didn't even tickle him. In the end, Tian Lingling rubbed her little red hands together to end their bickering.
After a series of farewells.
An Lin, Xuanyuan Cheng, Dabai, and Tina made their way toward a teleportation point in the Celestial Court and departed from Earth.
The first thing An Lin did after returning to The United University of Cultivation was to find Xu Xiaolan.
Xu Xiaolan reported to An Lin with excitement on her face how much they had earned during the past few days. The average price of each dish was over two hundred thousand spirit stones per day, and the net profit was over two hundred thousand spirit stones per day.
An Lin was quite elated to hear this.
His total net worth had reached sixty-six million spirit stones, and he was getting closer and closer to his target of a hundred million.
Xu Xiaolan seemed to have fallen in love with cooking and volunteered to take on the responsibility of cooking.
According to her, she seemed to have fallen in love with the special effect of the moment she became a dish.
An Lin didn't mind. If Xiaolan liked to do this, then let her do it.
Life returned to normal.
An Lin once again immersed himself in his studies.
This made the homeroom teacher, Flying Sword God, extremely happy. It was not easy for his class to have two top-notch geniuses, but they were both obsessed with cooking and did not attend class. What was going on?
Now, the whole school knew that An Lin and Xu Xiaolan had made a name for themselves among the immortals of the Celestial Court by cooking. It was a good thing, but she still felt that something was wrong.
It was not until An Lin returned to class that Flying Sword God realized what was wrong.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan had become the role models for all of the students in The United University of Cultivation to look up to. Now that these role models were going to become full-time cooks, the students couldn't possibly follow suit, could they?!
The style was completely skewed!
After An Lin returned to class, everything became much clearer.
"Look, even the bad * ss An Lin is working hard to cultivate. What reason do you have to not work hard?" Some teachers encouraged the students in the class.
All of the students' fighting spirit was reignited upon hearing this, and they all followed the example of Student An Lin and worked hard to cultivate.
An Lin was once at the bottom of the rankings, but his results during the mid-term exams were off the charts.
He scored full marks for his pill refinement class, immortal spells class, combat class, dao realm class …
An Lin nodded with an indifferent expression. Not bad.
Before he knew it, half a month had passed.
A piece of news from the Four Nine Immortal Sect disrupted his peaceful life.
"An Lin, bad news! Our spirit stone mine scouting team has engaged in a conflict with the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas in the territory of the Flying Ball Tribe!" Liu Qianhuan's voice sounded.
An Lin had some recollection of the Flying Ball Tribe. They were a medium-sized tribe on the Tai Chu Continent that resided to the east of the Kingdom of the Nine States.
"It's just a conflict, what's there to be surprised about? Can't we just deal with it in the spirit of civilization, harmony, and freedom?" An Lin spoke with a nonchalant expression.
"But … But Xiao Ze killed one of the Dragon King's sons!" Liu Qianhuan exclaimed in a panicked voice.
"Gasp …" An Lin drew a sharp intake of breath. "Which Dragon King?"
Liu Qianhuan replied with a resigned expression, "Which Dragon King? The Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas!"
An Lin's expression darkened upon hearing this. "What exactly happened? Hurry up and tell me in detail!"
Liu Qianhuan gave a detailed explanation. "Our spirit stone mine scouting team discovered a large mine in a secluded area of the Flying Ball Tribe's territory, but news of this was accidentally leaked. The Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas' scouting team rushed over and claimed that they were the ones who discovered the mine first. They even tried to chase our scouting team away and forcibly marked the mine.
"Our scouting team will immediately report this matter to the sect. When Xiaoze heard this news, he rushed over angrily. A large mine is priceless, so how could they allow it to be stolen?
"The Dragon King's second son, Ao Shuyu, also rushed over. He had a dispute with Xiao Ze over the ownership of the mine, and they got into a fight. But who knew that Ao Shuyu was really too weak, and Xiaoze accidentally smacked him to death. "
An Lin: "…"
What the f * ck … accidentally killed the Dragon King's second son?
He was a Return to Void Stage mighty figure after all, how could he be so weak?
An Lin felt like he needed to organize his thoughts.
The Dragon King had a dozen or so children, but that didn't mean his children weren't important.
Ao Shuyu's aptitude wasn't very high, and he was only able to progress to the Return to Void Stage due to sheer luck. He had remained at the Return to Void Initial Stage ever since.
Xiao Ze accidentally killed Ao Shuyu, so this theory was valid.
An Lin believed it, but the Dragon King wouldn't believe it! Even if the Dragon King believed that this was an accident, An Lin knew them well enough to not let the matter rest.
It was very common for conflict to result in casualties, but if the casualty was a person of high status, then things wouldn't be so simple, even if An Lin's side was in the right.
"Little Na, Little Tian, come with me!"
An Lin led Tina and Xue Zhantian toward the location of the incident.
"Senior Student, did the Dragon Court of the Eastern Seas make any demands?" An Lin asked in an urgent voice.
Liu Qianhuan replied, "They made very outrageous demands.
"The Dragon King of the Eastern Seas said that seeing as our sect has the support of the Celestial Court, we won't have to pay with our lives. However, we will make Xiao Ze a slave of the Dragon Court forever.
"On top of that, they want our sect to withdraw from the dispute over the Flying Ball Tribe's mine. Heh, withdraw from the dispute? There's no dispute at all! They're clearly trying to steal our mine … "
Liu Qianhuan's voice was tinged with rage and displeasure.
An Lin's expression completely darkened upon hearing this.
Make Xiao Ze a slave of the Dragon Court?
Heh … Don't they know whose disciple Xiao Ze is?!
