Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 211 Compensation
Li Zhen opened his eyes, and the whole world appeared in front of him in a new way. This was similar to the feeling when he was promoted to the Heavenly Spiritual Root, but also a little different.

This was the first time he used his newly generated spiritual thoughts to sense the outside world. The newly generated spiritual thoughts could not reach too far away from the body, but when the spiritual thoughts were extended, he "saw" a completely different world through his spiritual thoughts.

While at Aoki University, the spiritual energy that the spiritual thoughts come into contact with is all wood spiritual energy, which emits a green light.

The spiritual thought continued to move outward, and then it came into contact with a restriction. The spiritual thought "saw" the pattern on the restriction. Master Yu Xinyi did not have to worry about attacks from outsiders here, and the restriction here was also a part of teaching, so the restriction was not kept secret.

Only Li Zhen could use his spiritual thoughts to "see" the restriction pattern, which clearly indicated the type and details of the restriction.

The restriction blocked his spiritual thoughts, and he swept his spiritual thoughts across the ground, and he "saw" the array patterns on the ground.

"Put away your spiritual thoughts. You have just been promoted, and your spiritual thoughts still need a long time to be nurtured. Besides, using spiritual thoughts to explore in front of other cultivators may be easily regarded as a provocation!" Master Yu Xinyi gave advice.

Li Zhen quickly put away his spiritual thoughts, and when they returned to his body, he felt a little mentally exhausted.

"Thank you for your kindness, Immortal. I hope you can forgive me for my rash promotion here!" Li Zhen bowed to Immortal Yu Xinyi again.

"No need to do that. If you can succeed in getting promoted by coming to my small courtyard, I welcome all students to come here!" Master Yu Xinyi waved his hand and laughed.

He personally stepped forward to help Li Zhen up, with more expectations for Li Zhen in his eyes.

"Brother Gu, I see that Li Zhen has made great progress in body training, and he just needs the resources for promotion!" He turned and smiled at Master Gu.

Regarding the matter of Master Gu's compensation, he originally only wanted to assist from the side and had no intention of taking the initiative to ask for it.

But the current situation is special, he must verify Li Zhen's favor. As for offending Master Gu, he doesn't care much.

Master Gu looked at Li Zhen with hesitation. To be honest, he already regretted it. If he had not said anything at the beginning and directly provided a resource for advancement to the foundation-building stage, the issue between him and Li Zhen would have been resolved.

Of course, Master Gu could also ignore Master Yu Xinyi's words and directly use some foundation-building resources as compensation.

But Master Gu didn't want this to happen. Li Zhen had already shown his talent. As a fourteen-year-old foundation-building cultivator, this kind of talent would make it very likely that he would become a Nascent Soul Master in the future.

Master Gu did not want to be an enemy of a future Yuanying Zhenjun. The options before Gu were either to kill Li Zhen in advance or to offer compensation that would satisfy Li Zhen.

If Li Zhen had not been promoted before, Li Zhen's life would still be easy to control, but Li Zhen showed an amazing talent for building a foundation at the age of fourteen. Aoki University will pay the greatest attention to Li Zhen.

As one of the top universities, what the university hopes to achieve most is to cultivate strong people who can represent the university.

"I need some time!" Master Gu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

He turned around and patted Gu Jianfeng, then sent a message to Gu Jianfeng to give him some instructions.

"The Gu family congratulates classmate Li Zhen on his advancement to the foundation-building stage!" Gu Jianfeng was somewhat reluctant, but he still stepped forward and bowed to say.

As he spoke, he suppressed the murderous intent in his heart. He was very clear that if he showed the slightest malice in front of the two Jindan Zhenren, they would sense it.

Whether it was Master Yu Xinyi or Master Gu, they treated Li Zhen better than their own family members.

Master Gu took Gu Jianfeng away, and then Li Zhen received an internal notice from the Student Union on his identity bracelet that Vice President Gu Jianfeng had withdrawn from the Student Union.

"Master Gu will send you a set of resources to help you break through the second level of body refining, and the conflict between you and them will be written off!" Master Yu Xinyi watched the two men leave, then said to Li Zhen.

Li Zhen was stunned. He did not expect that Master Gu would offer such compensation. But after thinking about it, he understood that it was Master Yu Xinyi who made the effort.

The resources for breaking through the second level of body refining are already third-level resources. As they are resources for breaking through a higher realm, they are even more precious.

Even if the Gu family has some influence in the Immortal Kingdom, it will still cost a lot to obtain the resources to break through to the second level of body refining.

"You are now in the foundation-building stage. I will apply to the school for you to be a core student!" Master Yu Xinyi said finally.

Li Zhen left Yu Xinyi's courtyard, still thinking about the core students. The core students were the most talented students selected from all the elite students of Qingmu University. These students could obtain the core inheritance of Qingmu University.

Take the secret method of 'Qingmu Nashu Gubenshu' that he obtained, for example. It is the inherited secret method of Qingmu University. In theory, only core students are qualified to learn it.

Of course, there is another way to learn the secret method of inheritance, which is to use merits to exchange for qualifications.

Li Zhen was full of gratitude towards Master Yu Xinyi. What Master Yu Xinyi needed was his favor. Master Yu Xinyi was interested in his future. If he could become a True Lord Yuanying in the future, then Master Yu Xinyi and the forces behind him would be the beneficiaries.

For the next period of time, Li Zhen does not need to go to class anymore. Having just broken through the foundation-building stage, he needs some time to rest. Master Yu Xinyi has already approved his vacation.

He did not return to his residence. In the past, he always thought that when he was strong enough, he would challenge and get a better residence.

But now he no longer has such thoughts. The residence in Aoki University is not as practical as an independent third-level cave.

He first came to a high-level fortress, then continued to use his space magic for a distance outside the fortress, and finally returned to the third-level cave.

Sitting on the cushion, he practiced the 'Ninth Edition of the Immortal Kingdom Qi Training Method' while distracting himself from practicing the 'Butterfly Transformation and Conservation Technique'. This time he successfully advanced to the Building Stage, and his spirit was greatly improved.

This also made a small breakthrough in the 'Butterfly Transformation Technique', which allowed him to do two things at the same time: practice the technique and cultivate his spirit.

This time, he practiced for three full days before stopping. If he wanted, he could just practice the 'Ninth Edition of the Immortal Country Qi Training Method' and continue practicing for more than a month during the foundation-building period. This is why the retreat period during the foundation-building period is longer.

Since Li Zhen was practicing the 'Ninth Edition of the Immortal Kingdom Qi Training Method' and the 'Butterfly Transformation and Conservation Technique' at the same time, his spirit became exhausted after practicing for a long time, so he had to rest after only three days of practice.

He frowned slightly; the training in the foundation-building period disrupted his daily plans.

He hasn't been to the ancient world for three days, so he must go there.

He disappeared in a flash, and when he appeared again, he was already in the room of the ancient cultivation world.

Being in the world of ancient cultivators, his perception of Li Da's soul became clearer.

"Master, you are out of retreat!" Li Da saw Li Zhen coming out and bowed respectfully. Then he noticed the change in Li Zhen's aura and said in surprise, "Congratulations, Master, on your great progress!"

"Is there anything going on these days?" Li Zhen waved his hand and asked.

Li Dadu stayed in the yard and did not leave, so what Li Zhen asked was not what big things happened in the market, but whether anyone came to see Li Zhen during this period.

"Except for those who brought guest resources, no one else came!" Li Da replied while keeping his body bowed.

He held a storage bag in his hand and handed it to Li Zhen, who took it casually.

His spiritual sense entered the storage bag and he found that there were obviously many more guest resources in the storage bag, and the extra ones were of very high quality. This was already the treatment for a guest in the late foundation building stage.

"Are there your resources here?" Li Zhen thought about it and understood, then he asked.

"Young Master, the resources allocated to me are also yours!" Li Da replied.

In fact, at his level, building the foundation does not require a lot of resources. Just some basic resources to keep his cultivation from dropping are enough.

The most important resource at the peak of foundation building is the resource for advancement to golden elixir. Even if Caiqi Pavilion has it, it is impossible for it to give it to Li Da.

If the Foundation Establishment Pill is the first barrier that the sect uses to hold back independent cultivators, forcing them to live in the sect's shadow, then the resources for advancing to the Golden Elixir are the second barrier that large sects use to hold back small and medium-sized sects.

The most important resource for advancing to the Golden Elixir stage is the 'Gold Condensing Elixir'. The main raw material of this elixir, the 'Gold Condensing Fruit', is only produced by large sects, which means that small and medium sects must rely on large sects.
