Chapter 9 Cultivation
Although Li Luochen was carefree, Tang San's arrival brought him a sense of urgency in his cultivation.
After all, we're both time travelers. Although my equipment and everything else are inferior to yours, Tang San, as an indomitable battle spirit, why shouldn't I compete with you?
What followed was a long period of cultivation. Li Luochen felt that the cultivation of a Soul Master was quite fast at this stage, and he could break through to the next level in about three months.
It takes about a year to break through to level four, and less than two years to reach the bottleneck of a second-ring Great Soul Master.
While Li Luochen was rapidly advancing in his Soul Master cultivation, he did not neglect his medical skills. Flander, being a kind-hearted man, specifically sought out some healing-type Soul Masters he knew and borrowed some medical books from them for Li Luochen to study.
After about a year of cultivation, Li Luochen's soul power level reached the peak of level 16.
Li Luochen was a little over seven years old. He guessed that he might be able to break through to become a Great Soul Master before he was eight years old. Just think how outrageous it was that the Dragon God Douluo Mu En became a Great Soul Master at the age of eight.
Although the other party has the super beast martial soul, the Holy Dragon of Light, which gets stronger as it goes on, Li Luochen himself is not inferior. He guesses that the limit of his first soul ring absorption is five hundred years.
The 420-year-old Feng Qinglong is a dragon species with immense and powerful energy. If it were Guzhu, Li Luochen felt that absorbing it for over 500 years would be no problem.
However, Feng Qinglong's bonus is definitely greater than Guzhu's. The dragon character on the dragon pattern staff is the most suitable for absorbing dragon-type soul beasts.
With his current physique, he guessed that absorbing a second spirit ring for eight or nine hundred years wouldn't be a problem, but if he wanted to gamble on a second spirit ring that was a thousand years old, or even a thousand-year-old dragon-type spirit beast, that would be much more difficult.
Unfortunately, he is only a weapon spirit master, and his physical body is currently far weaker than that of a beast spirit master, unless he possesses a spirit bone to improve his physical attributes or takes whale glue to enhance his physical strength.
The former is definitely not advisable, as soul bones are rare and hard to come by, while the latter appears frequently at auctions. After all, the only known use of whale glue in this era is as an aphrodisiac for flirting.
No one knew that it could aid in cultivation, and that proper absorption could enhance the body's strength and allow for the absorption of spirit rings beyond the limits.
Although no one knows its true effects, noblemen like to buy whale glue for flirting, and Li Luochen certainly can't compete with them in terms of wealth.
Although the teachers in the academy are all quite skilled, they don't have much money. Their cultivation levels are around Soul King and Soul Emperor, and Dean Flander is about to become a Soul Saint, crossing the threshold into true powerhouse status.
As it turned out, the academy was really poor, and the teachers were poor too. They were still relying on the registration fees they had collected from students. It wouldn't do, so Li Luochen had to talk to the dean. He then went to the place in Flanders where he was training.
Knock knock~ Li Luochen politely knocked on the door.
"Is the dean in?"
Come in.
Flander sat in his seat with a worried look on his face. The academy's budget was insufficient again. As the dean of the academy, he certainly had to provide resources to teach the little monsters. The simulated training environment was not feasible, and the medicinal baths and diet needed to be improved, but it was still not enough.
"Dean, you look so pale. Is the academy running out of funds again? I have a way for us to make some money."
Li Luochen could tell at a glance that Flander, that old shrewd businessman, was worried about money.
"Oh? You have some insights to share, kid?"
Flander's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again. What good policies could a little kid possibly have?
"Dean, please call Professor Shao Xin over; the plan is related to him."
"Call Old Shao over, could it be...?"
Flander, prompted by Li Luochen's words, immediately channeled his shrewd businessman nature and hurriedly went to find Shao Xin.
Shao Xin arrived shortly afterward. Shao Xin is now a Food-type Soul Emperor with a Soul Power level of 62. He is the youngest teacher at Shrek Academy.
It's important to know that food-type cultivation is very difficult, but Shao Xin is extremely powerful. Judging from the current situation on the mainland, Shao Xin is among the top ten food-type cultivators, and most of those stronger than him are older than him.
"Xiao Chen, why did you have Boss Fu call me here? Boss Fu said you have a way to solve the academy's funding problem?" Shao Xin looked at Li Luochen, feeling like he was being schemed against.
"I see. Teacher Shao Xin's food-related cultivation is very high, so your soul skills must be quite strong, right?"
"Hey, Old Shao may not have many other abilities, but his food-related abilities are top-notch. His healing, amplification, and treatment effects on these candies are incredibly good."
Shao Xin patted his big belly proudly and said.
"So, Teacher Shao, how long can your candy last?"
Li Luochen asked a crucial question.
"My candy can last for a month now. It won't disappear after a month, but the effect will be gone."
Shao Xin had no idea what Li Luochen was thinking, but he had a feeling that he had been tricked.
"Hehe, Dean, look how good Teacher Shao's soul skill is! Why don't we take Teacher Shao's candy beans to an auction? We could even auction them at the market outside the Soul Hunter Forest!"
With a Soul Emperor-level Food-type Soul Master like Teacher Shao, he's highly sought after everywhere. Getting to eat food from a Food-type Weapon Soul Emperor is a rare and precious opportunity. This could be the beginning of our sudden wealth!
It will just make Teacher Shao a little tired.
Li Luochen's words opened a window for Flander, and then he looked at Shao Xin with ill intent, putting one hand on Shao Xin's shoulder.
"Old Shao, you see the academy's funds are a bit tight right now, why don't you make a sacrifice? It's all for the little monsters anyway."
"Boss, this... I... okay."
Shao Xin agreed, silently shouldering the burden in order to enrich the college's funds and improve the students' resources.
"Delicious little candies, big candies, green candies, red candies! ×N"
Flander left the academy with bags of candy, his mouth practically stretched to his ears as he left. Shao Xin, on the other hand, was a bit weak from using too much soul power, so Li Luochen helped him back to the teachers' dormitory.
The first step in making money for the academy is complete, thus ensuring the academy has sustainable funding. Once he reaches level 17, Dean Flander will take him to the auction in Soto City.
I hope to obtain whale glue, for the sake of becoming stronger, no kidding.
Around eight o'clock in the evening, Flanders returned and generously paid out all the wages owed to the teachers.
"Come on, Xiao Chen, here's a pair of storage soul tool bracelets for you. Each one has five cubic meters of storage space. Consider it a reward for your helpful suggestions to the academy."
Flander generously gave Li Luochen a pair of purple storage soul tool bracelets. These two were not cheap, and Flander probably made a huge profit.
"Boss, what's wrong with you? You gave Xiao Chen a bonus after paying his salary? Are you trying to kill me? Is this some kind of inheritance you're leaving behind?"
Zhao Wuji looked at Flander and felt that he didn't seem real today.
"You old Zhao, talking such nonsense about me, believe me or not I'll dock your pay..."
Then Flander revealed Li Luochen's money-making plan, so the academy would no longer lack funds, but Shao Xin would have to work hard.
