After hanging up with Lord Yang of the Province, Dean Hai sat in the Martial Arts Room, eyes closed in thought.
Gradually,
at Dean Hai’s body surface, a faint blue light began to wriggle, the glow containing strands of strange power, shrouding his entire person in a hazy brilliance.
It was quite dazzling, as if a divine being had descended to the world.
Before long.
“Dean Hai, Li Yuan has arrived,” Li Yang’s slightly respectful voice came from the door.
“Let Li Yuan come in,” Dean Hai opened his eyes, and the blue radiance enveloping his body quickly retracted and dispersed, his whole presence returning to normal.
There was a sound of light footsteps outside the door.
Li Yuan walked into the small Martial Arts Room, greeting with due respect, “Dean Hai.”
Li Yuan had immense respect for Flying Heaven Warriors in his heart.
“Come and sit down, don’t be restrained,” Dean Hai said indifferently.
“Yes,” Li Yuan walked over and sat down as honestly as last time.
Li Yang then closed the door.
The room fell silent.
“I watched your match with Dantai Feng,” Dean Hai said with a gentle look and a hint of a smile, “Your performance was surprising, not only to President Li and Dean Xu, but even to me.”
“Your excellence exceeded our expectations.”
“You flatter me,” Li Yuan replied in succession.
“No flattery, I never exaggerate when I give praise,” Dean Hai said with a light smile, “At just eighteen, your skills have reached Subtlety…At least in my more than ten years as head of the Sixth Institute, besides you, I haven’t seen another student from the school achieve this.”
Li Yuan was at a loss for words.
“The better you perform, the more attention you will receive, so don’t be afraid to show your strength,” Dean Hai said with a slight smile, “This time, in the ten-school freshman battle, you ranked second and qualified for a ‘Heavenly Materials Treasures’ reward.”
“Although the top four all can receive a reward, the higher the ranking, the better the reward.”
“Now, let’s proceed with the selection.”
Dean Hai tapped on his smart ring, and a light curtain projection appeared.
Following that.
Whoosh~ In the Martial Arts Room, a multitude of lights converged, forming a huge light curtain over three meters in length and over two meters in height right in front of Li Yuan.
There were numerous texts and patterns on it.
“High Origin Treasures, Transformation Treasures, Body Cultivation Treasures, Origin Power Secret Treasures, Spiritual Treasures, Poison Treasures, Creature Hatchlings, Mineral Resources, Treasures of Unknown Effects…” Li Yuan glanced over and immediately saw a multitude of treasure classifications.
It was exceedingly complex.
There were many terms that Li Yuan didn’t understand the meaning of.
“The so-called Heavenly Materials Treasures are the rare wonders nurtured by the heavens and earth.”
“The nurturing of these treasures largely requires a ‘High Origin Environment’, that is, an environment with a high concentration of Origin Power,” Dean Hai explained, seemingly noticing Li Yuan’s confusion, “Our entire Seven Star Sea initially had no Origin Power… Hence, the Heavenly Materials Treasures originating from our Seven Star Sea are very rare.”
Li Yuan listened intently, these were secrets he had not known before.
“Many Foreign Civilizations, the worlds they live in, have far higher concentrations of Origin Power than ours, so they give birth to many rare and precious treasures.”
“Even the continuous nurturing by Origin Power over many generations has allowed the beings of many Foreign Civilizations to naturally possess great strength, like the Black Dragon I mentioned to you before, and even stronger creatures. Essentially, it’s for this reason,” Dean Hai explained patiently.
Li Yuan suddenly understood.
“There are even more special regions.”
“The Star Realm,” Dean Hai continued, “As the special area where different civilizations’ spaces converge, it has allowed many Star Realms to nurture incredible treasures… This is also why a multitude of Foreign Civilizations want to wage wars with our human civilization in the various Star Realms.”
“Fundamentally, it is a competition for resources.”
“Like the multitude of ordinary Martial Artists, the Qi-blood potions, Origin Power Essence Pills, etc., they consume, the raw materials mostly come from some Star Realms we control,” Dean Hai said indifferently.
Li Yuan listened attentively.
Some of the information he had heard of before, but much of it was new to him.
“Also, the raw materials for things like the ‘High Origin Spirit Spring’ you’ve consumed are similar, as well as some special metals, like the ‘Origin Power Battle Garment’ that Prime Warriors rely on most,” Dean Hai said, “All of these, essentially, are Heavenly Materials Treasures.”
“It’s just that many treasures have become common and are not considered precious by the public. To be precise, the ones you’ve encountered, such as Origin Power Essence Pills, First Rank Qi-blood potions, Marrow Cleansing Elixirs, etc., they all fall under First Rank treasures.”
“Whereas, the High Origin Spirit Spring, Divine-Nurturing Spring belong to Second Rank treasures.”
“Third Rank treasures, which many people recognize as ‘Heavenly Materials Treasures’, are very rare and mostly difficult to produce in stable quantities,” Dean Hai said softly, “The Bai Marrow Nurturing Elixir that you’ve encountered is a Marrow Cleansing rarity, ranking as a Third Rank treasure.”
Li Yuan was enlightened.
So, the Bai Marrow Nurturing Elixir was considered a Third Rank treasure, no wonder it was much more valuable than the High Origin Spirit Spring and the like.
“Third Rank treasures are limited in quantity, and many are rarely seen even within our human civilization, possessing extremely special effects,” Dean Hai said, “Among the Third Rank treasures, their value also varies greatly.”
“The most precious ones, like the Transformation Fruit, just one piece can enable an ordinary person to directly transform into a Prime Warrior,” Dean Hai said, “Like the Divine Soul Nine Turns Fruit, it can make an ordinary person’s spiritual power directly transform to level 29.”
“If a Flying Heaven Warrior used them, they would also greatly benefit.”
Li Yuan was astonished.
Transformation Fruit? What kind of insane thing is that, turning someone into a Prime Warrior just like that?
And the Divine Soul Nine Turns Fruit is even more outrageous, spiritual power directly to level 29?
After all his hard work and cultivation, his spiritual power had only reached level 23.
To reach level 29, who knew how long it would take.
“Don’t even think about it; these items are extinct, having only appeared a few times in history,” Dean Hai said with a smile, “Their value is hundreds, thousands of times that of a single Bai Marrow Nurturing Elixir… They are not something you can exchange for with money.”
