You promised yourself to be a caged bird, but you became the supreme young master?

"You almost missed the Foundation Establishment stage in twenty-six days. You're really lucky."

Upon hearing Lu Heng's answer, the young man in blue casually remarked.

Based on this one sentence alone, Lu Heng was able to deduce that the young man in blue was probably not the person in charge of the registration office of the outer college.

Otherwise, after so many days, he should have gotten used to it by now and wouldn't have made such a remark.

The young man in blue then continued speaking.

"However, based on my observations over the years, lucky ones like you who only reach the Foundation Establishment stage near the deadline will most likely not stay in the Outer Academy for long."

Don't get too excited yet; start preparing for the future.

He seemed to be extremely bored at the registration desk of the outer courtyard, so he couldn't help but chat with Lu Heng for a few more minutes.

How could Lu Heng possibly answer such a question? He could only remain speechless.

The young man in blue quickly grew tired of Lu Heng's offer and didn't get any interesting replies.

"Take out your identity token."

These are the identity tokens given to you by the people in charge during your Foundation Establishment stage.

Also, I don't like people calling me "adult".

"Dividing the family property doesn't make you any big shot."

Seemingly accustomed to the awe others held for him, the young man in blue said calmly.

"No problem." Lu Heng nodded naturally and handed the token to the blue-clad youth in front of him.

The young man in blue took the token, looked at it carefully, and then returned it to him.

He then took a notebook from the registration desk, and while registering the information, he said calmly, "You have reached Foundation Establishment in 26 days, so your treatment is Grade D."

You can receive three portions of low-grade spiritual food every day, and one portion of medium-grade spiritual food every ten days.

You can receive a basic combat technique for free from the family's internal affairs hall.

A servant will arrange your accommodation in the outer courtyard shortly.

No one is allowed to enter another person's residence, even if the owner of the residence agrees.

Those who disobey will be executed without mercy.

Every ten days, the outer academy students would gather at the martial arts arena for an outer academy martial arts demonstration.

Outside of martial arts practice sessions, attacking others is prohibited.

In a few days, three months after all of you newcomers have completed your Foundation Establishment, we will conduct the first evaluation.

The ratings are also A, B, C, and D.

C is qualified, while D is unqualified. With your current D-level treatment, one failure will result in your direct elimination from the external department.

If you want to make money, just go to the Internal Affairs Hall to accept tasks.

The rating is based on the tasks you complete in the Internal Affairs Hall, which are evaluated every three months.

You must accept at least one task per month.

I see you're a little curious as to why I'm wasting my time here.

"That's the answer." Following the registration office's rules, the young man in blue provided all the information that needed to be given in one go.

Upon hearing the other party's reply, Lu Heng finally understood.

He had been wondering why the young man in blue, a genius who had clearly awakened the bloodline talent of the Lu family, would be wasting his talents in a small registration office.

Now the answer is quite clear.

The mandatory task is carried out once a month according to the regulations of the Foreign Languages ​​Institute.

"Alright, you can go now." The young man in blue waved his hand, not intending to say anything more.

I left the registration office at the outer courtyard.

Led by a servant, Lu Heng arrived at his residence in the outer courtyard.

Perhaps because the adults in the main household found it troublesome, all the outer courtyard residences were of the same standard.

This is arguably the only fair aspect of the entire Foreign Languages ​​Department.

The room was very simple, just an ordinary stone house, with nothing special about it.

Put your pre-prepared and packed luggage into the room.

Lu Heng chose to go to the place where he had agreed to meet Lu Jinnian.

Compared to him, the other party had arrived almost 20 days earlier. While they might not be completely familiar with everything, they were certainly already well-acquainted with the outer courtyard.

The reason the two met this time was that Lu Jinnian knew that his friend came from an ordinary background and lived alone.

He knew absolutely nothing about the information that the Foreign Languages ​​Department needed, so I offered to show him around.

………………

Upon arrival, as Lu Heng had expected, Lu Jinnian was already waiting there.

But there was something strange about the guy's eyes.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Lu Heng asked, somewhat amused.

"That's nothing, it's just that I didn't miscalculate even once a day. More than ten days ago, I was already able to perfectly predict that I would establish my foundation in eleven days."

It sounds incredibly absurd.

Ah Heng, you really do have top-notch comprehension without any compromise!

"I'm really a little jealous!" Lu Jinnian said exaggeratedly.

Although he had anticipated this beforehand, he still felt it was somewhat exaggerated after everything had settled down.

Aside from geniuses with exceptional comprehension, who can truly predict the outcome of spiritual cultivation?

Who can guarantee when they will be able to break through?

Even geniuses with top-tier cultivation talent are no exception.

Compared to a genius with exceptional cultivation talent, who might only be one in tens of thousands of ordinary people.

A genius with superior comprehension and talent is probably one in hundreds of thousands of ordinary people.

Both may be considered to be at the same level in terms of talent rating.

However, innate talent for comprehension is obviously much rarer, and in terms of its help to cultivation, it can be considered to be half a level higher.

The guy standing in front of him, who was considered his friend, was undoubtedly a genius with exceptional comprehension.

"I see." Lu Heng nodded, but didn't think there was anything to be surprised about.

"I think getting to know you beforehand might really be the best decision I've ever made in my life," Lu Jinnian said with some emotion.

"Then you should be secretly happy," Lu Heng said in a nonchalant tone.

"You're such a jerk!" Lu Jinnian gritted his teeth.

He hates those Versailles types the most!

Although the word Versailles doesn't exist in this other world, it doesn't affect Versailles at all.

As he spoke, Lu Jinnian led the way.

In fact, Lu Heng knew where the Inner Affairs Hall of the Outer Courtyard was, but that did not affect his need for Lu Jinnian to lead the way.

Some things sound simple, but in reality, without a guide, it's quite normal to suffer a great loss.

"Jin Nian, what's the difference between mid-grade and low-grade spiritual food?"

Lu Heng took the lead in asking the question that was currently of most concern to him.

For him at this stage, spiritual food is the most important resource for cultivation.

He didn't need to know before, but things are different now.

"In fact, there is not much difference between mid-grade spiritual food and low-grade spiritual food."

It still only allows one to cultivate once more each day, much like a low-grade spiritual food.

The same applies to high-grade spiritual food, except that it is different from low-grade spiritual food.

Both mid-grade and high-grade spiritual foods can increase cultivation speed, but the extent of the increase differs.

It is said that top-grade spiritual foods, and even higher-grade spiritual foods, can increase the possibility of breakthroughs in cultivation.

Lu Jinnian replied.
