Liu Gu mentioned three items, which are the most expensive and hardest to find outside.
So, he urged Lin Chen to get them quickly.
Because there are many students in the Spirit Academy, they could be taken quickly, and who knows when the restock might be.
Having a mentor in the academy is indeed beneficial, as they know a lot of insider information.
"Thank you, Instructor Xiao." Lin Chen cupped his hands.
Instructor Xiao looked Lin Chen up and down and said with a smile, "I heard you broke the record yesterday. Not bad, you remind me of him from back then."
Curious, Lin Chen asked, "What was the name of the senior brother who held the record before?"
"Ahem~~" Liu Gu coughed violently.
Lin Chen immediately noticed Instructor Xiao’s face didn’t look right.
He led Lin Chen into the medicine vault, and Lin Chen’s eyes lit up...
The treasures here were truly dazzling.
Three thousand Flame Fruits, ten-thousand-year-old Black Spirit Ginseng...
Even the Heart of the Ox King that Lin Chen had painstakingly obtained before, eight pieces were displayed here.
Lin Chen glanced back at Instructor Xiao, contemplating how to start a conversation, when Instructor Xiao said, "He’s dead."
Lin Chen was startled.
"This was eighteen years ago. His name was Qin Song, he was my disciple." Instructor Xiao’s eyes were filled with regret and unwillingness as he said, "Back then, he went to participate in the Beast Fighting Conference and was ambushed and killed halfway."
"Was it discovered who did it?"
"We don’t know..." Instructor Xiao shook his head and said, "But it should have been people from the other Five Great Countries."
Lin Chen hesitated...
Isn’t this Beast Fighting Conference supposed to be safe? Chapters first released on NoveI(F)ire.net
Why does it sound so dangerous?
Instructor Xiao seemed to notice Lin Chen’s concern and quickly said:
"Qin Song’s incident happened because the Beast Fighting Conference was held in East Sakura Country, and during that time, he was isolated and ambushed."
"The security system for later Beast Fighting Conferences has been fully enhanced, so you can rest assured."
"Moreover, this year’s Beast Fighting Conference is being held in Cangling Ancient Country, so those people wouldn’t dare to act recklessly unless they’re prepared to stay here permanently."
Instructor Xiao shared some of Qin Song’s feats.
This Qin Song was indeed incredibly brilliant, but unfortunately, his genius was cut short.
After talking for a while, Instructor Xiao regained his composure and said, "Come, see what you want."
Lin Chen handed over Liu Gu’s list, and Instructor Xiao glanced at it, then said, "Do you want the most expensive or the hardest to get?"
"Instructor, you’re making it difficult for me..." Lin Chen hesitated.
After contemplating for a while, he finally chose the hardest to get.
In fact, compared to the evolution materials of Little Fox and Big White Bear, the herbs for Little Fox are definitely more expensive.
Because the main material for Little Fox is of the Legendary Level, the corresponding auxiliary materials must also be of the highest grade.
However, Liu Gu also said that if Lin Chen really wants to contract Big White Bear, it’s best to reserve the ten-item set from the Beast Fighting Conference quota and use it all for Big White Bear.
Because the materials for Law Evolution are quite outlandish and peculiar, if it weren’t for the Spirit Academy drawing resources from the entire nation, it would be hard to obtain these herbs.
This is also one of the reasons why Law Evolution is so rare.
As for Little Fox’s materials, gather them if possible, otherwise, buy them.
After all, money can be earned, but some things simply aren’t available on the market.
"Why don’t you take these two first, and if you change your mind later, you can swap them." Instructor Xiao suggested.
"You can exchange them?" Lin Chen was surprised.
"This matter should not be disclosed," Instructor Xiao said with a smile.
Lin Chen immediately understood. He didn’t ask more questions, perhaps it was related to Qin Song.
He expressed his thanks, took the herbs, and went out to find Liu Gu, who had also finished sorting out the herbs, and said to Instructor Xiao, "Everything’s ready, so we’ll go now."
"Okay." Instructor Xiao nodded.
The three of them cupped their hands in respect and then left.
Once they were out the door, Liu Gu was about to explain why he had coughed earlier, but Lin Chen said, "Instructor Xiao has already told me."
Liu Gu was taken aback, then sighed and said:
"Old Xiao is also a man of misfortune. Qin Song was his most talented student, and after that year, he never took up the post of a mentor again, voluntarily requesting to oversee the pharmacy. It hit him hard."
Lin Chen, however, asked:
"Is it that they can’t investigate, or that they won’t?"
Liu Gu replied, "The situation during the Beast Fighting Conference was delicate, much like the eve of the fourth Blue Star War outbreak, and even if the truth were discovered, it would have to be swallowed for the greater good."
As he spoke, Liu Gu was not looking at Lin Chen, but at Bai Ling.
Lin Chen’s temperament didn’t worry Liu Gu much.
With a Celestial Spirit Body backing him, any common power would really need to weigh the risks before provoking Lin Chen.
But Bai Ling, being caught up in the storm of the National Master’s Institute in Celestial Capital, was unlikely to see calm.
Currently, Liu Gu could only hope that Bai Ling wouldn’t be too outstanding, that her luck wouldn’t be too favorable.
Perhaps that way, she could avoid this storm.
Because Liu Gu knew that for Bai Ling, living a safe and peaceful life was already her greatest wish.
The wave of excitement over Lin Chen breaking the record continued in the academy for a period, but soon it was overshadowed by a new storm.
Fang You followed closely behind, also breaking through the sixtieth level, leaving Lin Chen speechless...
This Fang You really had his sights set on him.
Meanwhile, the qualifiers for the Beast Fighting Conference pre-selection tournament had reached a fever pitch.
Lin Chen participated in a total of three matches: solo, mixed, and solo.
In each match, Lin Chen won easily, because the battling students lacked the will to fight.
The main reason was they were afraid of ending up in the infirmary.
And for now, it’s just the preselection, securing a spot in the top thirty-two was enough, no need to overthink it.
