A Top Scholar in Everything

Baiyu carefully examined the bottle of yogurt.

[Knowledge Advancement Potion].

This was the only information he got from the yogurt.

Other than that,

there were no other instructions or method of consumption.

Baiyu pondered for a moment.

Then,

he twisted open the cap, picked up the yogurt, and drank it down with a glug.

It basically tasted like ordinary yogurt.

Nothing special.

However,

after he finished drinking, he suddenly felt a surge within, and his mind became active; the knowledge he had learned in the past all surfaced from the depths of his memory.

"So this is what knowledge advancement means."

Baiyu instantly understood the effect of the yogurt.

It enhances the knowledge one already possesses, that's roughly the meaning.

A multitude of light points appeared in his mind, each one being a piece of knowledge or memory he had learned before.

He could feel it.

As long as his mind touched these light points, he could immediately upgrade and obtain more advanced knowledge.

However,

the opportunity for advancement was only once.

There were many subjects on Baiyu's knowledge tree that needed improvement.

The most urgent one was Mysticism.

"Is this advancement to increase my knowledge, or to deepen my understanding of the knowledge I had previously gained?"

A curiosity arose in Baiyu's heart.

Action speaks louder than words.

He immediately chose the Mysticism branch on the subject knowledge tree.

When he touched the largest Mysticism light point, the light point exploded in his mind, transforming into torrents of knowledge, washing over his consciousness.

The Pollution Level increased slowly.

But this level of pollution wasn't a big problem for Baiyu.

He was completely overwhelmed by the advancement of knowledge at this moment.

Mysticism.

This is the cornerstone of the entire Mysterious Side.

Spirit Technique, Magic Elixir, the Extraordinary—all sorts of incredible supernatural phenomena are based on Mysticism.

After Baiyu used this knowledge advancement opportunity on Mysticism,

his entire Mysticism subject level instantly rose to LV3!

This advancement,

did not grant any related Scholar Secret Technique.

But it gave him a deeper understanding of all mystical matters, and he could sense those invisible particles floating in the air.

They are constantly communicating and exchanging with the human body.

This is... Spiritual Qi.

To be precise, it is a certain substance contained within these particles, allowing people to obtain Extraordinary Power.

This thing is called "Spiritual Qi."

He could hear faint whispers in the air.

He could feel the flow of particles in the air.

"So energy perception doesn't just see Blood Qi, but also these particles."

Baiyu felt slightly intrigued.

However, he quickly adapted to the changes in his body. After the advancement in Mysticism knowledge, his resistance to various creepy things should greatly increase once more.

However,

the only regret,

is that the whispers he heard significantly increased, and eerie noises would occasionally occur around him, all originating from the same source.

Baiyu couldn't tell them apart for now.

The effect of these whispers hadn't been discovered yet, and after a while, they quieted down on their own.

He put this matter aside for now.

Baiyu heard a knock at the door from outside, and his consciousness immediately exited the scholar space. He moved his limbs and picked up the phone beside him.

Unknowingly, two days had passed.

He opened the door.

The sunlight outside flooded in, and the air had the scent of the sea breeze.

The weather in Villiduo is always so clear, with gentle breezes, and seagulls constantly flying through the clouds.

Life these days has been,

completely different from Zenith City.

Relaxing.

Pleasant.

"After all, it's the largest city in the south. There's no need to worry about demon, alien invasions, commercial prosperity, and the quality of life will also improve significantly.

I heard that Villiduo's Shelter has completely suppressed the forces of aliens, Exotic Beasts, and demons.

There will never be any threats.

That's why it can develop so vigorously."

Baiyu sighed slightly.

This is the advantage of location.

The life in Villiduo is indeed much more pleasant than in Zenith City.

However,

behind this comfort, countless Warriors are sacrificing their blood on the front lines.

Baiyu sighed slightly again.

He took out his phone.

And sent Erin a text message.

The Elf Banshee was still staying in Wind Dove City with the Qiong Family, and Baiyu had somewhat established a foothold here, it was just right to bring Cang Yan over.

It's been a while since he saw the hamster; it felt a bit different.

He still needed to continue with his research.

After preparing for a while,

Baiyu opened the door, and Jie Ding was standing at the entrance.

"Mr. Bai, do you remember the gathering?"

Jie Ding reminded him.

Baiyu recalled, a gathering was indeed mentioned when he left two days ago.

It seemed to be about getting him acquainted with the people from the Inspection Department.

"Sorry, I've been in closed cultivation for the past two days, almost forgot."

Baiyu smiled.

"No worries, a small group from the Inspection Team just returned, now is a good time to go."

Jie Ding smiled.

The two of them boarded the steam carriage together.

"To Old City Street No. 12, Veterans Mutual Aid Association base,"

Jie Ding instructed the coachman.

Clank.

White steam spewed out, and the carriage started moving quickly.

The scenery along the street continuously came into view.

The architecture of the entire Villiduo leans toward warm colors.

Mostly blue and white buildings, with clean streets, orderly, and polite people coming and going.

"The Upper City District of Villiduo has the best security; very few crimes occur throughout the year. However, the Lower City District is much more chaotic."

Jie Ding explained.

Baiyu nodded; how could the security not be good? Almost every street they walked on had patrolling guards visible.

And every guard was equipped with firearms.

Plus, their even breathing and orderly steps showed they were well-trained.

As for the Lower City District of Villiduo,

it's probably the industrial area.

Baiyu planned to go and take a look when he had the time.

Soon.

The steam carriage stopped at the door of Old City Street No. 12.

Upon entering the view,

stood two tall stone statues.

Jie Ding mentioned these were statues commemorating two generals who made outstanding contributions in the Celestial Essence War, sculpted by retired veterans.

He pushed open the main door.

And walked into the Veterans Mutual Aid Association.

The entire Veterans Mutual Aid Association was divided into several areas, like Baiyu's Inspection Department, which had training grounds such as a schoolyard and a shooting range.

And Jie Ding's Logistics Department,

managed the warehouse and the like.

"I'll accompany you there; the Inspection Department is this way,"

Jie Ding led the way for Baiyu.

The main task of the Inspection Department is to mediate conflicts among veterans, help these retired veterans solve some troubles.

Of course,

there are also times when physical action is required.

It's considered a semi-armed department within the Veterans Mutual Aid Association.

And the members here,

besides retired veterans, also recruit some young students from Martial Arts Schools, giving them an opportunity to gain experience.

However,

just as Baiyu and Jie Ding reached the entrance of the Inspection Department, an axe burst through the door, brushed past Baiyu's face, and was deeply embedded in the big tree behind him.
