78 Lin He'an (Second Update)

  Zhongzhou, one of the ninety-nine states of the Tianyuan Continent, is located in the central position of the Tianyuan Continent, with the most superior geography, the largest area and the richest resources.

  The headquarters of the Xiu Zhen League, Tiankong City, is located in the sky above Zhongzhou City.

  Similarly, in Zhongzhou City, the headquarters of many super-large financial groups of the Xiu Zhen Alliance are gathered, with many top colleges and super-large families, which can be said to be the power center of the entire Xiu Zhen Alliance.

  The entire city of Zhongzhou is located on a vast plain, with an area of thousands of miles and a population of over one billion, making it the most populous city in the Tianyuan continent.

  One of the top ten colleges, Tianyuan College is located in Zhongzhou City.

  The vast and sprawling Tianyuan Academy, with its peculiar layout, presents a Taiji yin-yang posture. On one side is the Alchemy Division, on the other is the Spiritual Plant Division. The facilities are extremely well-equipped, and here you can even find the top-level Alchemy Research Institute and Spiritual Plant Research Institute of the entire Cultivation Alliance.

  In a lush forest of spiritual trees, a unique wooden house stands amidst.

  In the courtyard, there was a large medicinal garden, where many rare and exotic spiritual medicines were planted. A faint fragrance of medicine wafted through the air, and if someone with discerning eyes saw it, they would be shocked to discover that these spiritual medicines were all top-grade, with some even being extremely rare, almost mythical in quality. Some of them had even condensed into clusters of strange, glowing lights, as if they had transformed into spirits. These medicinal spirits would leave their physical bodies and fly around, occasionally playing with the spiritual birds that flew by.

  In the courtyard, there is also a strange spiritual tree that covers half of the courtyard. On it are fruit the size of fists, white as milk, and most strangely, they look like babies, looking extremely cute.

  This is the heavenly-grade ultimate treasure, Tian Di Ling Tree - Yuan Ying Tree. On it grows the Yuan Ying Fruit. It's said that this fruit blooms once every 3,000 years, bears fruit once every 3,000 years, and only ripens after 3,000 years. After eating just one Yuan Ying Fruit, one can increase their lifespan by 500 years.

  Under this yuan infant tree, a young woman in green clothes is gazing at a cluster of spiritual flowers not far away, with a peaceful expression, giving people a natural and pastoral feeling.

  At the gate of the courtyard, two young men stood quietly, with a respectful expression, as if they were afraid to disturb the woman in green.

  After a long time, the woman in green suddenly turned around and sat down on the stone chair under the yuan infant tree, looking at one of the young men and saying lightly: "He Ping, how's it going?"

  The sound is pleasant and soothing, like a wind chime, giving people a sense of natural tranquility.

  On her, one can feel a breath of natural scenery, far away from the mundane world, transcending the ordinary.

  "Teacher, it's all done. This person is called Chu Xiao, from Yunzhou Purple Cloud City. From my understanding, he not only has an astonishing master-level talent in alchemy, but also excels in spiritual plants..."

  This young man was none other than Lin He Ping. After attending the master's banquet, he rushed back to Zhongzhou from Yunzhou without stopping. From Yunzhou to Zhongzhou is over a million miles away, even if you take a high-grade flying artifact, it would still take a whole day to fly back to Zhongzhou.

  Needless to say, this stunningly beautiful woman in green clothes, with a slender and delicate figure, was the renowned Elder Tianyuan, the founder of the Tianyuan Academy, the master alchemist, the master spiritual plant cultivator, and a permanent elder of the Cultivation Alliance. She could be considered one of the most supreme beings on the Tianyuan Continent. If Chu Xiao saw her, he would probably stare his eyes out in amazement.

  Lin He Ping recounted his experiences at the Master's banquet in Ziyun City, including the alchemy competition and the spiritual plant competition.

  "Oh, does this person have a master qualification in spiritual plant alchemy?" The blue-clothed woman, Tian Yuan's elder, sparkled with interest.

  "Zi Yun City is just a remote and small third-tier city in Yunzhou, with scarce spiritual energy. How could someone with the talent of a dual-system master possibly appear here? I reckon Big Brother must have made a mistake."

  At this moment, the young man standing beside Lin He Ping also spoke up, with a proud tone and a hint of disdain. What was even more peculiar was that his appearance bore a 70-80% resemblance to Lin He Ping's.

  This young man was Lin He'an, the twin brother of Lin He'ping. Perhaps due to being twins, his innate talent in alchemy and spiritual planting was not inferior to Lin He'ping's, and even surpassed it, as he had already become a 9th-grade alchemist and a 9th-grade spiritual plant master.

  "Hehe, I brought back the competition's projection stone from that time. Teacher should be able to tell just by looking at it."

  Lin He Ping seemed to have understood his brother's character long ago, and immediately took out two projection stones from the time-space table, respectfully handing them over to Elder Tian Yuan.

  The village elder did not activate the projection stone, but instead directly inserted his powerful divine sense into it. In almost an instant, he had browsed through all the recorded images inside, and then sank into deep thought for a moment. A hint of admiration appeared on his incredibly beautiful face as he said, "I didn't expect to see someone with such great talent in Purple Cloud City. This Chu Xiao's talent is not inferior to yours at all, and might even be better. The only difference is that his cultivation level is slightly lower. However, there's something strange - I calculated that this person's spiritual root is at least above 20 points, so why is his cultivation level so low?"

  After finishing speaking, she shook her head and asked Lin He Ping: "Has Ling Xun given him the token?"

  Lin He Ping hastily said: "Teacher, I've already given it to him. I estimate he will contact the teacher soon."

  "This person is indeed a talented individual, with the makings of a great master. He has developed an insecticidal formula using the body of the Soul-Devouring Insect, unfortunately he has already pledged his allegiance to another."

  The old man in the countryside nodded his head and said lightly.

  "Teacher, what's the big deal? Just send us an admission letter from Tianyuan Academy and have Chu Xiao enrolled. Someone from a small place like this would be overjoyed to receive an admission letter from Tianyuan Academy. At that time, you can completely take him as your nominal disciple. I think he will definitely ask for it eagerly."

  Lin He'an said with a smile.

  He was rather resentful of the teacher's praise for Chu Xiao, as a native of Zhongzhou, he considered himself to be a true gem, looking down on people from remote areas with an innate condescension.

  Zhongzhou, the center of the Tianyuan continent, can be said to be the gathering place of heaven and earth spiritual energy, it is the birthplace of heavenly genius treasures, far beyond the peripheral small state of Yunzhou.

  The closer you are to the central area, the easier it is for talented and exceptional individuals to emerge.

  Not to mention Lin He Ping's talent in alchemy, even ordinary people from Zhongzhou generally have this mindset, looking down on people from other states.

  "Peace, this matter is left to you!"

  The village elder highly appreciated Chu Xiao's talent and gift, and couldn't bear to see him waste away in Yunzhou, so he thought for a moment and nodded.

  Lin He Ping was just about to speak, but Lin An Ping hastily cut in, "Teacher, my elder brother rushed back overnight and must be tired. Let me handle this matter instead, I guarantee it will be done properly."

  "Ah!"

  The village elder agreed without hesitation.

  Watching Lin An leave in high spirits, Lin He Ping expressed some concern: "Teacher, with Xiao An's personality, I'm afraid..."

  "Hehe, worried he'll mess things up? Alright, you don't need to worry, I've got it under control."

  The village elder smiled faintly.
