"I've already offended them regarding the blood pool," Lu Yin muttered.
The Culinary God replied, "The blood pool incident is over. The White Dragon Clan has made this promise multiple times, and they've fulfilled it every single time. The most famous instance was in the Central Realm, where the Lu family was still around. An independent cultivator killed a branch member of the Lu family, and the Lu family did not tolerate him. However, that cultivator received a condition from Dragon Mountain to keep a peak for himself, so he escaped to Dragon Mountain with great difficulty. In the end, he was protected by the White Dragon Clan."
Lu Yin was astonished. "Someone who killed a member of the Lu family was protected?"
"That's right, it's unbelievable. The Lu family is famous for their strength and protectiveness, but that cultivator was still protected. In the end, he died from his origin tribulation, and it had nothing to do with the Lu family. It was considered a normal death for cultivators. As for what price the White Dragon Clan paid, no one knows. However, word of this condition spread, and countless people hope to keep a peak in Dragon Mountain."
Lu Yin sighed. "To be able to protect someone from the Lu family, the White Dragon Clan's promise is indeed worth a lot."
"Are you tempted?"
The Culinary God asked.
Lu Yin decisively refused. "No need."
The Culinary God was astonished. "Really?
Or are you worried that the Xia family will use Yuchuan to threaten you? "
Lu Yin smiled. "I have a peaceful mind, and I'm not good at offending others. If not for the academy, I wouldn't have offended the White Dragon Clan, so I might not need to use this condition."
The Culinary God thought about it and agreed. "Alright, then let's talk about the second option." He raised a finger. "A half-Ancestor power vessel."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "A half-Ancestor power vessel?"
The Culinary God replied, "Looks like that's your choice. Not bad, a half-Ancestor power vessel is quite expensive."
"But it's not as valuable as the first option," Lu Yin said.
The Culinary God sneered. "The first option is to protect you, but it's also to keep you. Anyone can see your value. Wang Nian has looked for you, right? The Frigid Immortal Sect has been trying to rope you in, and the Xia family has even brought Yuchuan out for you. The White Dragon Clan can't possibly do nothing. If you choose the first option, they'll be able to obtain you and also resolve the matter of the blood pool.
Lu Yin smiled. "So if I choose the first option, Senior will stop me as well."
The Culinary God shook his head. "I won't stop you. Everyone has their own aspirations." He gazed at the starry sky with melancholy. "Now, the Four Sides of the Scale reign supreme. If you choose to join any of them, no one will blame you. This is also the choice of most cultivators, and it's the same for the students. The Academy has nurtured them, but they don't necessarily have to repay the Academy.
Lu Yin's interest was piqued by the topic, and he asked, "Senior, what are these treasures?"
"I don't know about that. I'll inform the White Dragon Tribe of your choice and won't let them harass you until we leave," the Culinary God said.
"Thank you, senior," Lu Yin said gratefully.
The Culinary God shook his head. "I'm the one thanking you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even have known that that bastard was at Dragon Mountain. Yu Hao, I owe you a favor, and I hope I can repay it in the future." He then left.
Lu Yin didn't expect to gain any benefits from the White Dragon Clan, and the fact that they had given him a half-ancestor was a pleasant surprise. More importantly, he could upgrade this half-ancestor to the Progenitor Realm, which was the most pleasant surprise.
As for leaving a peak in Dragon Mountain to protect his own life, only an idiot would do that. If the White Dragon Tribe found out that he was Lu Yin, even if the entire Dragon Mountain belonged to him, it would be useless. The Dragon Ancestor would be the first to kill him.
…
A giant paper boat floated in the air as a group of students excitedly boarded it, discussing something in groups of twos and threes.
Wang Xiaofan and the rest had stern expressions, and Liu Que glanced at Longtian from time to time with an unwilling gaze.
The White Dragon Tribe's training had ended. Rather than calling it training, it was more like a tour. At least the students hadn't done anything, but they had benefited greatly from the blood pool. Of course, their benefits weren't because of the blood pool, and Lu Yin had already clarified that he had been wrong about the pool.
Even though everyone had a tacit understanding, no one dared to leak the information and risk offending the White Dragon Tribe.
As for Xia Shenguang, Wang Xiaofan, and the rest, the White Dragon Tribe naturally had other ways to prevent them from leaking the information, but the Four Cardinal Scales would definitely find out.
Lu Yin had a strange expression as he didn't know how to describe it. In Nong Siniang's words, it was as if he had eaten dirt. In fact, she was right. Lu Yin had indeed eaten dirt, or more accurately, he had obtained a piece of dirt.
Just now, the White Dragon Tribe had given him a half-ancestor treasure. It was a piece of dirt that was gray, dirty, and had a strange smell.
When he had obtained the dirt, Lu Yin had almost smashed it into Longtian's face. He had actually given him a piece of dirt?
What was the meaning of this?
After the White Dragon Tribe's explanation, Lu Yin finally understood the use of this piece of dirt, and he felt terrible.
This piece of dirt came from the Mortal Realm, and its exact location was right below the Ancestral Mang's head. The Ancestral Mang slept all year round and would drool while sleeping. This piece of dirt was stained with the Ancestral Mang's saliva and was filled with its aura. As long as one held it, no creature would dare to approach, including half-ancestors.
This was amazing. Even half-ancestors didn't dare to approach it. Who could say that it wasn't a half-ancestor treasure?
As for the power vessel, since it had the Ancestral Mang's saliva and innately carried the Ancestral Mang's aura, how could it not be a power vessel?
After Lu Yin took the piece of dirt, he felt terrible. He quickly stored it in his cosmic ring and boarded the boat under the envious gazes of many from the White Dragon Tribe. He felt like he had been tricked.
As the boat flew up, he didn't even look back, afraid that he wouldn't be able to restrain himself from cursing.
"Mister Haoyu, I didn't see wrong. The White Dragon Tribe just gave you soil that contains the Ancestral Mang's saliva, right?" Mister Wei asked with a smile.
Lu Yin was unhappy. "Saliva is saliva. Why do you call it saliva?"
Mister Wei laughed. "Mister Haoyu, don't underestimate this piece of dirt. As long as you have it with you, no creature in the Mortal Realm will dare to provoke you. All the resources in the Mortal Realm will be at your disposal. To the Root Organization, this is an absolute treasure that they wouldn't trade for even if you gave it to a half-ancestor.
"From what I know, the White Dragon Tribe has sold quite a few pieces of dirt that contains saliva throughout history. The buyers were either the Lu family or the Frigid Immortal Sect. The Seed Garden is a treasure that others can't obtain even if they want it."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "Is that so?
That's right, this is definitely an absolute treasure in the Mortal Realm. "At the same time, he wasn't thinking about the Mortal Realm, but rather the Astral Beast Domain in the Fifth Mainland.
If even a half-ancestor was afraid of something that no creature dared to approach, then what about the Astral Beast Domain?
What about the celestial demons?
What about the Skymender Imperial Tutor?
They were essentially the same as the creatures in the Mortal Realm. As long as they weren't humans, they were still creatures, so they should be able to be intimidated by this soil.
The more Lu Yin thought about it, the more excited he became. If he used it well, then this thing wouldn't be as simple as a half-ancestor variant treasure.
Mister Wei smiled. "Congratulations, Mister Haoyu."
"Thank you for your guidance, Mister Wei," Lu Yin said gratefully.
Mister Wei smiled. "I'm just envious and congratulating you."
Lu Yin
Yin was magnanimous. "Mister, do you want it?
This piece of dirt isn't small, so I can give you some. "
Mister Wei hurriedly declined. "I don't want to go to the Mortal Realm. The saliva's smell is useless to me, so please keep it for yourself."
Lu Yin nodded. "That's right, it's really good stuff. I'll find a chance to go to the Mortal Realm and try it out."
After Mister Wei left, Bai Weiwei found Lu Yin with a smile. "Mister, the next place to go is my Frigid Immortal Sect. You won't cause trouble for us, right?"
Lu Yin was puzzled. "What do you mean?
Who would dare cause trouble for the Four Way Scales? "
Bai Weiwei smiled. "I've known Mister for so long, so there's no need to beat around the bush. Mister, you want to help Yixian Academy, but it's useless. At most, you'll be able to buy some time, but you won't be able to change the outcome. You'll even be displeased with the Four Way Scales. In the Starry Sky of the Trees, the Four Way Scales represent everything."
Lu Yin said, "You're worrying too much. I didn't cause trouble for the Four Way Scales, and I don't have the ability to do so."
Bai Weiwei smiled. "With Mister's ability, you can cause trouble for anyone, but my Frigid Immortal Sect has always treated Mister with respect. Senior apprentice sister specifically instructed me to learn from Mister. In the future, Mister might become a member of my Frigid Immortal Sect."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "Senior apprentice sister?
Bai Xianer? "
Bai Weiwei nodded. "Senior apprentice sister asked me to send her regards." She then turned and left.
Lu Yin looked into the distance. Had Bai Xianer noticed him?
Everyone was afraid of her, as if she were the ruler of this region. However, in his memories, in the depths of his heart, she would always be a servant that could be pointed at and berated. A bold servant.
Just like the Wang family and the White Dragon Clan, the Frigid Immortal Sect's acting sect master, Baisu, received Yixian Academy.
Baisu was waiting far away from the Frigid Immortal Sect, and when she saw the Food God, she treated him like a junior.
Looking at Bai Su, who was talking to the Culinary God respectfully, who would have thought that this person was secretly controlling Xiao Qian to find out the secrets of the White Dragon Tribe? He was trying to use Xiao Qian to get close to him. Everyone thought that Bai Su was a puppet that was more obedient than Bai Teng.
Baisu suddenly looked at Lu Yin and warmly said, "This must be Mister Haoyu. You're so young and promising. When I was your age, I was only a Hunter, but you're not only an Emissary, but also a Realmyuan Formation Master. I admire you."
Lu Yin was polite. "Sect Master Baisu is too kind. I was just lucky, but I can't compare to the geniuses of the Frigid Immortal Sect."
Baisu laughed. "Mister Haoyu is the one who's overpraised. There are many in the Frigid Immortal Sect who are of the same age as you, but they can't compare to you. I'm ashamed."
After exchanging pleasantries with Lu Yin, Baisu went to chat with Mister Tang.
This Baisu didn't have the slightest air of a sect master. She was more like a … how should she put it … a businessman.
Bai Weiwei's expression was ugly.
This was embarrassing. The group of Yixian Academy students looked relaxed. Based on Baisu's attitude, they felt that they might be able to obtain more benefits in the Frigid Immortal Sect.
First, it was the Wang family, then the White Dragon Clan. These originally lofty Four Sides of the Scale and the rulers of the Astral Tree Galaxy were fighting to give them benefits. Although they didn't know the reason, they didn't need to know.
The Food God grew impatient. "Sect Master Baisu, what kind of training did the Frigid Immortal Sect prepare for these brats?"
Baisu happened to be exchanging pleasantries with Mister Wei. When she heard the Food God's words, she turned around and respectfully replied, "Senior, do you know about the Heavens Beyond Heaven?"
