Chapter 60: Treasure-seeking Compass

After Li Xuan left the Fire-type Simulated Cultivation Environment, he headed straight for the Academic Affairs Office.

Because Li Xuan had spent a long time in the Fire-type Simulated Cultivation Environment this afternoon, it was already late, and if he didn't go fetch his bedding, someone would probably have to stay in the Academic Affairs Office tonight.

Li Xuan hurried to the Academic Affairs Office, retrieved his bedding, expressed his thanks to Teacher Shao, then left the office and walked toward the Dormitory Building.

After descending the mountain and making several inquiries, Li Xuan finally found the Dormitory before night fell, and located his own room according to the door number.

After unlocking the door with his key, a stale dust smell wafted out of the room, and Li Xuan quickly covered his mouth and nose.

"How long has this place been empty!" Li Xuan said irritably, covering his mouth and nose, saying it irritably.

After waiting a moment for the dust to settle, Li Xuan finally stepped into the Dormitory.

By then the sun had set, and the Dormitory was already dim and gloomy.

Li Xuan didn't hesitate and took out a few fingertip-sized Starfire Fruits from the Void Pearl, tossing them out.

Starfire Fruit is the fruit of the Starfire Vine; when Li Xuan was excavating the tunnel, he cultivated the Starfire Vine intensively for lighting, and amassed a box of Starfire Fruit.

These are like light bulbs; when filled with soul power they can be used for three days and three nights, and Li Xuan had already charged the Starfire Fruit during his free time, ready for use at any moment.

With the illumination from the Starfire Fruit, Li Xuan could see the entire Dormitory clearly.

The Dormitory was not large, roughly twenty square meters, with two bunk beds that could accommodate four people.

Besides the beds, the Dormitory also had four cabinets for personal belongings.

What puzzled Li Xuan most was how long this Dormitory had been uninhabited, as thick dust covered everything.

"Why was I assigned such a long-unoccupied Dormitory?" Li Xuan muttered, furrowing his brows.

Nevertheless, Li Xuan could have a Dormitory to himself; a bit of dirt was tolerable, after all it could be cleaned up.

Then, Li Xuan took out a mask, a water basin, and a broom, and began tidying the room.

Thus, Li Xuan spent a full two hours before the Dormitory was clean. He took off his clothes, tossed them into a water bucket to soak, planning to wash them tomorrow; his clothes were already covered in dust.

Looking at the clean, tidy Dormitory, Li Xuan wiped the sweat from his forehead; the bed frame and floor were still a bit damp, so he didn't immediately spread the bedding.

Li Xuan found a stool and sat down, then took a large jar from the Void Pearl, opened its lid, and took out three Heavenly Material Earth Treasures.

He then took out three Flower Pots, transplanted the three Heavenly Material Earth Treasures into them, and poured in some diluted Green Spirit Liquid.

These three herbs were somewhat special; they never produced seeds, so this was the only way to carry them.

Li Xuan placed the three medicinal plants on the Dormitory windowsill, letting them grow freely.

Li Xuan's Void Pearl was sufficient for now, so he wouldn't cultivate more in the short term; as for the Lucky Four-Leaf Clover, whether it works he truly didn't know, so he wouldn't actively cultivate it.

As for the final Dark Realm Ghost Orchid, Li Xuan didn't want his Dormitory to become a ghost realm.

Thus the three plants became ornamental mascots.

After settling the three plants, the Dormitory was essentially dry; Li Xuan spread the bedding on the bed, performed a quick wash, then changed into pajamas and got into bed to rest.

Seeing the clean, tidy room, Li Xuan felt very satisfied, after all he would be living here for a long time.

Lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling, Li Xuan began to ponder another matter.

It was his Second Soul Ring!

Li Xuan's Soul Power Level had reached 19, and he could break through to Level 20 at any moment, so the choice of the Second Soul Ring was now urgent.

However, Li Xuan no longer had suitable Immortal Grade spiritual plants to use for his Soul Ring.

After all, Immortal Grade spiritual plants are rare and cannot be sought; Li Xuan hadn't encountered a third such plant in the Flower Sea.

Li Xuan's Soul Ring had now become a difficult problem.

"It seems I need to act on Dugu Bo's Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan in advance; the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower inside is a rare Fire-attribute Immortal Grade, and if it later has a high chance of producing true phoenix fire, that would be a top-tier flame!" Li Xuan thought of the Immortal Grade spiritual plant inside Dugu Bo's Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan.

However, Li Xuan had no good way to approach Dugu Bo; after all, he was still a Xiao Karami, unworthy of meeting Title Douluo Dugu Bo. Moreover, Li Xuan's standards had risen; his Nine Hearts Nine Flame Lotus Soul Ring must be made from Immortal Grade, and non-Immortal Grade cannot be absorbed.

"But it seems there's no good way to get close to Dugu Bo. If I go to him without a solid reason, I'll probably die; there's no need to let the Bing Huo Liang Yi Yan kill me," Li Xuan said while lying on the bed, furrowing his brows and staring at the ceiling, muttering as he thought.

Dugu Bo is capricious; if Li Xuan arouses his suspicion, death is the only outcome.

Li Xuan sighed; he was now in a dead end with no good solution.

"System, calculate my points," Li Xuan said from his warm bed, addressing the system.

【Initiating today's point settlement…】

【Soul Power Level 19, earned 19 points!】

【Secondary profession "Herb Farmer" Level 4, earned 4 points!】

【Secondary profession "Alchemist" Level 1, earned 1 point!】

【…】

【No other bonus items detected; total earned 24 points】

【Host's current points: 1274】

"Open the mall," Li Xuan sighed helplessly. After half a year of adjusting with the system, he was very familiar with this System Mall; unless the system updates, it rarely refreshes anything truly useful.

【System Mall】

【Misty Pure Heart Vine (Seed) *1……20 points】

【Wind-walking Grass (Seed) *1……1 point】

【Ten-thousand-year Soul Bone (random) *1……8000000 points】

【Treasure-seeking Compass (special price)……800 points (original price 2000000 points)】

【System Mall updates daily, one special-price item each day】

"What? Today the System Mall is really generous! It actually listed two kinds of seeds! And what's this compass about?" Li Xuan blinked excitedly, and without hesitation purchased both seeds.

Misty Pure Heart Vine is a Heavenly Material Earth Treasure; the misty aura it generates can aid cultivation and suppress going into fire madness.

Wind-walking Grass is also a Heavenly Material Earth Treasure; after consumption, it can boost a soul master's speed severalfold for a short time.

The quality of both Heavenly Material Earth Treasures is average, but Li Xuan might need them for future Alchemy, so he bought them back as seeds for easy cultivation.

However, when Li Xuan's gaze fell on the special-price item in the System Mall.

This is the first time a Treasure-seeking Compass has refreshed in the System Mall, so Li Xuan is also not clear what this thing actually does.

"System, check the attributes of the Treasure-seeking Compass," Li Xuan said to the system.

【Item: Treasure-seeking Compass】

【Quality: Special】

【Function: Input specific commands to obtain information and location of specific treasures.】

【Cooldown: 0/100 days】

"Good stuff!" Li Xuan's eyes lit up upon seeing the system's description, and he immediately bought the Treasure-seeking Compass from the System Mall.

Dear reader, happy weekend.
