Chapter 285: Jade Rabbit Bloodline (Second update, requesting everything)

After resolving the issue of breakfast, Li Changsheng held White Day and Black Night and arrived at the courtyard where Instructor Ning resided.

"Young Master Changsheng, you have come just in time. The master happens to be in a conscious state; please follow this old one!"

The old woman opened the gate and welcomed Li Zhangsheng into the courtyard.

It remained tranquil here, and the first thing Li Zhangsheng did was subconsciously look toward the Li Fire Parasol Tree not far away.

The surface of the Li Fire Parasol Tree was covered in 'wrinkles,' looking shriveled and devoid of a single leaf, with only a barely perceptible red color remaining, making it no different from a withered tree.

Besides this, at the huge gap in the main trunk of the Li Fire Parasol Tree, the fire-red radiance was far sparser than before, giving one the feeling that it was about to dissipate.

Everything indicated that the Li Fire Parasol Tree could not hold on for much longer.

"The Li Fire Essence of this Li Fire Parasol Tree is about to be completely exhausted. If there are no accidents, it can last at most another two months. I don't know where one could find another one!"

Discovering that Li Zhangsheng was observing the Li Fire Parasol Tree, the old woman could not help but sigh, her eyes filled with heartache and desolation.

Like the Yuanhe Ten-Color Pearl, the Li Fire Parasol Tree also belonged to the category of Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure; it was extraordinarily precious and rare in the world. Wanting to obtain another one was undoubtedly extremely difficult.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng began to check the data on the Three-Legged Fire Crow, wanting to further understand its state.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Three-Legged Fire Crow (Mature Stage)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Lord 6th Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: High-Level Monarch

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Top Grade

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Three-Legged Golden Crow (Thick)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Fire Element

【Spirit Beast Status】: Near death (Bloodline Burning exhausted, soul damaged, unable to fight, maintaining life using Fire Element essence and the Soul Grafting Secret Technique. To fully recover, a large amount of Three-Legged Golden Crow Spirit Essence is needed)

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Water Element

Upon seeing this, Li Zhangsheng's brows could not help but furrow. Compared to before, it seemed there was no change, but Li Zhangsheng believed his memory was not wrong; when he first saw the Three-Legged Fire Crow, it clearly possessed the realm of Lord 8th Stage, but now the realm had shrunk to Lord 6th Rank!

This indicated that the Li Fire Essence provided by the Li Fire Parasol Tree was no longer enough to keep the Three-Legged Fire Crow alive; the Three-Legged Fire Crow could only continue to maintain its life at the cost of its realm.

Once the Three-Legged Fire Crow's realm had nowhere left to drop, that would likely be the moment it perished.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng met Instructor Ning Bizhen again. She was still in her usual plain-faced appearance, her skin still without a shred of blood color, and her body faintly exuded a chill; she was still as beautifully cold as before!

Only, compared to before, Li Zhangsheng could perceive that Instructor Ning's spirit and energy were not as good as before, and she looked very tired. This was related to her increasing the output toward the Three-Legged Fire Crow to share the burden of the Three-Legged Fire Crow.

"Oh, you have advanced to the Third Rank!"

As soon as the two met, Instructor Ning could not help but exclaim in surprise, then immediately revealed a joyful smile.

Although she could no longer use Mental Power, Instructor Ning's realm was there after all, so she could vaguely perceive the other's approximate realm, not to mention that Li Zhangsheng had just broken through and had not yet had time to stabilize his realm.

"Yes, this student also just completed the breakthrough!"

"Good, very good, worthy of being my most proud student! For this year's Academy Exchange Tournament, I have high hopes for your performance. If you can continue to maintain this growth speed, I believe that after student Miao Yinfeng graduates, you will definitely become a leading figure of the Academy in the next three years!"

Instructor Ning gave Li Zhangsheng a very high evaluation. In just three short months since enrollment, Li Zhangsheng had continuously advanced from the First Rank to the Third Rank; this was a feat that even those few Second-tier Students had not accomplished.

In past Academy Exchange Tournaments, the number of Third Rank freshmen had not exceeded the count of one hand, and she believed this year would be no exception.

"Instructor, Vice Principal Xu said he has a way to obtain a Li Fire Parasol Tree, or at the very least obtain some Li Fire Essence, so I handed the Low-grade Chema Mushroom to him!"

Li Zhangsheng began to change the subject, detailing the conversation with Vice Principal Xu last night.

"Actually, there is no need. Even if one really obtains a Li Fire Parasol Tree, it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. Why waste such important resources? I will go find him later to discuss this!"

"Don't, Instructor, the Principal also has good intentions! Besides, this student has found clues regarding the Three-Legged Golden Crow Spirit Essence and has a chance to obtain it!"

Li Zhangsheng naturally could not reveal the matter of purifying the bloodline; he could only use other reasons to be vague. He hoped Vice Principal Xu could succeed, so that Instructor Ning could maintain her state for a longer time, which would give him more certainty.

"Clues? Instructor He Yan has also looked for many relevant clues, but they are not very reliable. I accept your good intentions, but you don't need to continue wasting time on this. Now you should focus more on improving your strength to participate in the upcoming Academy Exchange Tournament.

I believe you will surely amaze everyone. As long as Yuanling Academy continues to rank among the Four Great Academies, that is the best gift for me!"

Instructor Ning chose to refuse. Over these three years, Instructor He Yan had spent a great deal of energy collecting clues about the Three-Legged Golden Crow. During this period, she had advised her many times, but unfortunately, Instructor He Yan had a stubborn temperament and continued to go her own way, very much in the spirit of not turning back until hitting the south wall.

She had long since despaired of her own situation and did not want Li Zhangsheng to waste time on this.

"But..."

Instructor Ning interrupted Li Zhangsheng's words and said, "No buts! Alright, let's not talk about this. You advanced to the Third Rank so quickly, and I am very happy, so I have decided to give you a special reward. Follow me!!"

After finishing, Instructor Ning took the lead and walked toward a building.

Li Zhangsheng rubbed his nose; he could not say much else and could only follow closely behind.

Crack!

Accompanied by the sound of a mechanism opening, a passageway extended out, accompanied by a cold air.

"This is where I usually sleep!"

Instructor Ning introduced it. This was a room that was not very large, and the decorations inside were very simple: a jade bed exuding a misty chill, a jade rabbit that looked like an ornament, and a giant egg that was a full two meters tall.

Suddenly, the jade rabbit moved. Its speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it landed in Instructor Ning's arms, looking at Li Zhangsheng with curious eyes.

Li Zhangsheng subconsciously released his Mental Power, instantly shrouding the entire room. He was surprised to find that there were three exceptionally bright points of light in the room.

The first thing Li Zhangsheng did was check the data on the jade rabbit.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Cold Jade Rabbit (Mature Stage)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Lord 5th Stage

【Spirit Beast Race】: Low-Level Monarch

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Top Grade

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Jade Rabbit (Rich)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Ice

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Wind
