After finishing his words, Liu Gu looked at Lin Chen and said, "If you manage to secure a spot in the Beast Fighting Conference, those ten-piece sets can be chosen for your bear."
"Divergent evolution materials are even harder to sell outside, but the academy has a complete range of them."
Then, noticing the peculiar expression on Lin Chen’s face, he asked, "If there’s something, just say it."
"Teacher, could I have this half-drop of essence blood? I don’t want to use it on the Spirit Beast." Lin Chen didn’t hide it and shared the matter about Lee Zhen.
"A severed arm?" Liu Gu was taken aback.
"He is a senior I greatly respect," Lin Chen reiterated.
"The half-drop of essence blood is given to you by the academy, how you use it I won’t interfere." Liu Gu said, "However, to restore an arm, half a drop won’t suffice."
In fact, Liu Gu was aware of Lee Zhen’s situation, after all, being his student, Lin Chen’s background and character naturally needed some understanding.
Thus, he now admired Lin Chen’s choice very much.
In the Beast Taming World, strength reigns supreme, but talent is the foundation of the world.
Talent, though hard to come by, is less valuable compared to virtue.
Liu Gu pondered for a moment and said, "To restore a severed arm, at least ten drops of Phoenix essence blood are needed, your half-drop doesn’t have much significance."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen’s face darkened.
Before, he only heard that Phoenix essence blood could be used, but he didn’t expect it would require so much.
After speaking, Liu Gu joked, "When Bai Ling’s chicken truly becomes a Phoenix, you can borrow from her then."
"Who knows how long that will take..." Lin Chen smiled wryly.
Liu Gu continued, "My suggestion is for you to use it for evolution; if you don’t believe me, you can check the materials, I also have the complete formula for arm recovery here."
"It’s not doubting you, teacher." Lin Chen hurriedly said, "I just remembered that senior’s severed arm, became a bit anxious."
Liu Gu nodded, he then found that book for Lin Chen.
Lin Chen took a look, it was indeed as he said.
In the end, he could only give up, just like Liu Gu said.
When you truly manage to obtain nine and a half drops, you probably won’t be short of this half-drop.
"Teacher, the evolution path using Phoenix essence blood, are the materials very expensive?" Lin Chen asked.
"A bit." Liu Gu took out a list and handed it to Lin Chen.
Upon glancing at it, he was instantly dumbfounded.
This was not just a bit, it was simply exorbitantly priced.
"This Phoenix essence blood is counted against your previous extra rewards, your resource package can still pick three items from the medicine library, so you only need to gather the remaining six items." Liu Gu said.
"..." Lin Chen twitched at the corners of his mouth and said, "You overestimate me."
These remaining six items probably add up to around ten million.
Even if Lin Chen were to sell off the current harvest, his total assets would be around four million.
However, this is normal.
The saying goes, a good sword deserves a good sheath; if the main materials use Phoenix essence blood and other miscellaneous brands are used, the effect would be greatly reduced.
"There are also other ways to obtain them, for instance, if you reach the sixtieth level on the Path to Immortality, you can acquire an item..."
"Cracking those impasse War Chessboards can also get you an item..." Liu Gu said.
Bai Ling opened her eyes wide and said, "Brother Lin, I have money, I can lend you."
Unexpectedly, just as she spoke, Liu Gu interrupted, "Forget about your bit of money, it totals only two million at best, your Calamity-Devouring Beast can skip supplements, but your chicken will surely need supplements, by then your bit wouldn’t be enough."
Bai Ling scratched her head and obediently stepped back.
Lin Chen also nodded.
At this point, there’s nothing but to go all out.
Isn’t it just the sixtieth level?
Following that, Lin Chen was extremely diligent, continuously taking Xiaobai to enjoy the Level 2 Spirit Spring.
Xiaobai finally broke through to Level 26.
The Little Fox, upon hearing that Lin Chen and Xiaobai were working hard for its evolution materials, was also inspired to strive harder, basically training whenever it had free time.
As for the Big White Bear, it could only watch, filled with envy.
On the sixth day after Xiaobai’s breakthrough, Lin Chen began preparing for the Path to Immortality.
However, before going, he visited Zhao Li.
Zhao Li hadn’t sought out Lin Chen much during this time, because Zhao Li’s situation currently wasn’t good, barely maintaining in the second-to-last rank.
Seeing that a year was up, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
According to the rules of the Spirit Academy, as long as one passes the first year and enters the second term, one won’t be asked to leave due to coming last.
The last-place elimination system only applies to fresh students.
"Brother Lin, what brings you here?" Zhao Li was surprised because usually, Lin Chen seldom came to see him.
Lin Chen explained the matter.
Zhao Li wasn’t strong, but his network was excellent.
"Are you trying to fool people?" Zhao Li asked directly after hearing.
"This isn’t exactly fooling..." Lin Chen said, "I just want to run a book, isn’t it allowed by the academy?"
"The sixtieth level?" Zhao Li heard and was shocked.
Beyond the fiftieth level, it gets harder and harder, even the level-jumping fanatic Fang You is still hovering at the fifty-ninth level.
Many senior students are also stuck at this stage.
The sixtieth level is truly a qualitative leap in difficulty.
"You just focus on it, I’ll handle the money at that time." Lin Chen said, "Please."
"No problem." Zhao Li didn’t refuse.
The future achievements of Lin Chen will certainly not be low, getting a favor from Lin Chen, Zhao Li was more than willing.
Soon, Zhao Li spread the word about Lin Chen’s attempt at the sixtieth level, causing a small stir in the academy, and Zhao Li quickly applied for the "casino" license. Updates are released by NoveIＦire.net
According to the requirements of the Spirit Academy, one can apply for a betting license, but it can only be a gimmick, with a cap of 20,000 yuan.
Zhao Li set the odds according to Lin Chen’s instructions, with success and failure odds at 2.3:1.6.
On the third day, Lin Chen saw that Xiaobai’s condition was well adjusted, so he got up and started setting off.
