Chapter 128: It's Still Time to Leave Now
The professor recalled the situations she had tried before. But at that time, she was still young, and she was reckless in her cultivation, always charging ahead recklessly and often making herself vomit blood from overexertion, so much so that she couldn't even remember what the exact circumstances were back then.
The young instructor beside her didn't think too much about it. He had never thought of doing this before, but now it was like a door had been opened for him. He immediately said, "Thank you. I'll go back and try it right now." After saying that, he gave a slight nod to the professor and the tutor and then left excitedly.
The tutor thought about it and felt that it wasn't impossible to give it a try, so he also took his leave.
The professor originally thought it was unlikely to work, but since everyone else was going to try it, she thought there was no harm in giving it a shot too. So she said, "It's indeed worth trying again. If it really works, then we've been misled." Then she also nodded at Lan Zhi and said, "That's all for today. We can talk about skincare next time."
All three of them went back to give it a try. Lan Zhi didn't stay long either. After leaving the Diligent Study Hall, she went straight to the Secret Realm Hall.
The secret realm resources on the Star Spirit Continent were extremely rich, but they were all concentrated in the Crossing Star Sea.
The Crossing Star Sea was the only chaotic sea on the Star Spirit Continent. Since ancient times, for all the cultivators on the Star Spirit Continent who were above the Star Painting Realm, whether they ascended to immortality or perished in their cultivation, all the star qi in their bodies would burst out, gather densely together, and fall into the Crossing Star Sea to form secret realms. The resources they carried with them at that time would also remain in the secret realms.
If they were still carrying blessed lands or something like space in lucky bags, they would form separate secret realms.
So whether it was noble families, poor families, star academies, or individuals, they would form teams for a long time to go to the Crossing Star Sea to search for secret realms and develop resources.
The Secret Realm Hall of the Pinglan Star Academy was in charge of this aspect.
Lan Zhi knew that the Secret Realm Hall required an ability assessment. After looking for cultivation method materials in the Wende Hall, she casually took a few secret realm materials and stuffed them into her mind, so she went to the Secret Realm Hall with a relaxed look.
When she arrived at the Secret Realm Hall, Lan Zhi walked into the lobby, took out the application form for the Secret Realm Hall, and handed it to the steward inside.
The steward looked at the application form and then at her. "You're Lan Zhi, right? Are you sure you really want to apply for the Secret Realm Hall?"
Lan Zhi nodded. "Yes."
The steward said, "I don't really recommend that you do this. Although the Secret Realm Hall seems to have abundant resources, the attrition rate is also the highest. You're already the senior sister of the Merchant Hall. I don't think it's necessary for you to take risks in the secret realms."
Lan Zhi persisted. "But I still hope I can give it a try."
The steward frowned and said, "If you insist on joining, I won't stop you, but have you told your Merchant Hall master about it?"
Lan Zhi said, "After joining the Merchant Hall, do I no longer have the freedom to apply for other halls? Do I have to get the hall master's approval?"
Seeing that she wouldn't listen to reason, the steward said impatiently, "I'm just worried that something might happen to you. If that happens, I can't bear the blame from your hall master."
Lan Zhi saw that he kept making excuses and her tone turned cold. "I haven't even joined yet, and you already think I'll die?"
Just then, a noisy sound of footsteps came from the doorway. The steward looked up and said joyfully, "Senior Brother, come here quickly. This woman insists on joining our Secret Realm Hall and won't listen no matter how much we persuade her."
This woman?
The tone was a bit too arrogant.
While she was thinking this, a cold and haughty male voice came from far to near and reached her ears. "If you can't persuade her to leave, just beat her out."
Lan Zhi turned around and saw this senior brother of the Secret Realm Hall.
This senior brother was different from the students she had seen before. He was like a sword about to be drawn from its sheath, with a blood aura around him as if he had just waded through mountains of swords and seas of blood. Especially the hideous scar under his left eye gave people an even more suffocating sense of threat.
He glanced at her disdainfully and sneered, "It's still time to leave now if you don't want to cry."
