Chapter 612: Yinglong Dragon Scale, Flower of Butterfly Love (Second update, seeking all)

Li Changsheng did not think too much and picked up the wooden slip to the side to read it.

"So it is a Dragon Scale of a Yinglong!"

Li Changsheng sighed with emotion; among the Dragon Clan, the strongest are naturally the unique Ancestral Dragon and Zhulong, while those ranked behind them are basically the Azure Dragon and Yinglong, which are also in the ranks of top-tier Divine Beasts.

It is precisely because of this that this Yinglong Dragon Scale is undoubtedly a quite precious forging material.

Of course, it cannot compare to the Profound Turtle shell on the First Authority exchange list; after all, even a broken Profound Turtle shell has a volume far exceeding that of a Yinglong Dragon Scale.

Li Changsheng picked up the Yinglong Dragon Scale, and his hand sank slightly; the weight of this dragon scale was a full hundred jin.

After putting away the dragon scale, Li Changsheng hesitated for a moment before using his last voucher to open the treasure box placed in the corner of the desk.

This time, it was an exquisite dark green pendant.

Li Changsheng picked up the wooden slip and only then discovered that this was not a Treasure, but a very precious one-time-use item.

This pendant, named the Flower of Butterfly Love, was a treasure left behind by the first Principal; after being activated with Mental Power, it can manifest a spatial portal to flee a thousand miles away.

Simply put, this is a life-saving treasure; even if Li Changsheng were pursued by a Monarch, he could quickly activate the Flower of Butterfly Love to escape danger.

If Li Changsheng used it in the Langya Kingdom, it is highly likely he would appear in another country.

The only flaw is that the spatial portal is not controlled by human will and is entirely a random teleportation; there is a certain possibility of appearing in a dangerous area, such as appearing in the family territory of some Monarch, or appearing in the domain of some Spirit Beast above the Demon King level, etc.

Even so, the value of the Flower of Butterfly Love is still difficult to measure; for Li Changsheng, it is simply comparable to a supreme treasure and can provide further guarantees for his safety.

"As expected, the first Principal is the most generous!"

Li Changsheng exclaimed; he is worthy of being a Monarch, as his actions are much more generous than the other Principals.

After finishing his selection, Li Changsheng left the Treasure Pavilion without lingering and returned to the Number One Courtyard.

In the backyard, Li Changsheng took out the fruit shell and began to scan it with his Mental Power.

Upon this scan, Li Changsheng revealed a smile.

Although the energy fluctuations of this fruit shell are far inferior to the seed of the Tree of Life, it is still at the Heavenly Essence Grade level.

If there are no accidents, this is a seed of a high-level Spiritual Root, and it is a high-level Spiritual Root related to Star Power.

However, before the fruit shell takes root and sprouts, Li Changsheng does not know which kind of star-type high-level Spiritual Root it is.

The energy fluctuations contained in high-level spiritual plants are on par with Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade items, but the former can still be called living things, while the latter are completely dead objects, which is an essential difference.

Even though so many years have passed, because it was well-preserved, the fruit shell still contains astonishing vitality.

Without hesitation, Li Changsheng transplanted a spiritual plant near the Tree of Life, then buried the fruit shell into the Breathing Soil and watered it with some Life Water.

Believing that with Xiaoguai's care, the aura of the Tree of Life, Life Water, and Breathing Soil, such an excellent growth environment is unique in the entire Langya Kingdom; I believe that before long, this fruit shell will take root and sprout, and at that time, its true colors will be revealed.

This time, Li Changsheng rarely did not refine Spirit Essence; he prepared to wait until he had crafted the Imitation Demon Refining Pot to test its efficacy, which could also effectively avoid waste.

Li Changsheng put down the Mother Conch of the Mother-Child Golden Conch, and not long after, Ning Bizhen arrived before him.

"Bizhen, how did the investigation go?"

What Li Changsheng asked about was naturally regarding the matter of Academic Credits.

"The one who possesses the most Academic Credits is Dean Zhang Kaishuo, who has accumulated a full five hundred thousand Academic Credits, followed by Dean Ning Wei, who has only over three hundred thousand."

Li Changsheng did not feel too surprised; Dean Zhang Kaishuo is practically a shut-in who often goes into seclusion to refine Alchemical Pills, and almost all the high-level Alchemical Pills of the Academy come from his hands, which has also allowed him to accumulate a large number of Academic Credits.

Like Zhang Kaishuo, Ning Wei is also a veteran Dean and has accumulated quite a few Academic Credits.

Li Changsheng asked suspiciously: "Then what about Principal Xu?"

"A few years ago, Principal Xu first exchanged for the 'Two Forms Micro-Dust Demon-Controlling Art', and ten months ago, he exchanged for a Barrier Breaking Pill and a batch of precious materials; the remaining Academic Credits are less than one hundred thousand."

Ning Bizhen investigated very carefully and told him everything in detail.

"How many Academic Credits can the Academy give you in a year now?"

After becoming the First Academy, the salaries of the high-level officials and Instructors of Yuanling Academy would definitely rise by a notch; this is a certainty.

"Thirty thousand Academic Credits per year; are you very short of Academic Credits now?"

Thirty thousand Academic Credits may seem like a lot, but Ning Bizhen is a Pseudo-King, and her daily consumption is also very high; in a year, she can only save about ten thousand Academic Credits.

"I want to exchange for the Hunyuan Golden Lamp!"

Li Changsheng did not hide it and laid out his plan completely.

Ning Bizhen was full of surprise; she knew the exchange price of the Hunyuan Golden Lamp, and even with the Credit Exchange Half-Price Benefit, it still required one million five hundred thousand Academic Credits.

If calculated by purchasing power, one million five hundred thousand Academic Credits is almost equivalent to over three million Soul Crystals.

With such a large number, how many forces can take it out? Even if they can, it would be a heavy blow to their foundations.

Of course, the wealthy Imperial Family is an exception!

"Why don't I help you raise them?"

"Then I won't be polite!"

Li Changsheng did not refuse; Ning Bizhen is more suitable than him to come forward to raise Academic Credits. After all, Ning Bizhen's status is there, and he believes many high-level officials and Instructors will be willing to give Ning Bizhen face.

Li Changsheng prepared for a while, gathered a large pile of resources, Demon Cores, and Soul Crystals that were useless to him into a Space Ring, and handed it to Ning Bizhen.

"You can use these resources to exchange for Academic Credits from them. By the way, give me a copy of Dean Zhang Kaishuo's Demon Pet data."

"Wait, I will write it for you now."

Ning Bizhen is very clear about the situation of the other six high-level officials, and with her photographic memory, she had long since memorized their various data in her mind.

Soon, Li Changsheng received a relatively detailed set of data.

Zhang Kaishuo has a total of eight contracted Demon Pets, with only one being a Top-tier Demon Pet, and the remaining seven are all Superior Quality, belonging to either the Commander or Monarch species.

Li Changsheng was not surprised; Zhang Kaishuo is a veteran Sixth-Rank Expert after all, and over so many years, he has always been able to obtain some Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures that can be used for Demon Pet evolution, such as Yaochi Gold Jade, Shuimu Miaozhen Pearl, and Bloodline Fruit.

Zhang Kaishuo's only Top-tier Demon Pet is named Golden Jade Alpaca, which possesses a Pure Grade Baize Bloodline and is at the 9th Rank of the Lord level; this Top-tier Demon Pet has broken through a total of three times, but unfortunately, all ended in failure, and the success rate for breaking through to the Demon King level is already less than 5%.

It is also because of this that Dean Zhang Kaishuo can only temporarily give up on letting it continue to break through and has turned to seeking items that increase the success rate of breakthroughs.

Unfortunately, such Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures are too rare and almost do not circulate on the market; coupled with the situation of too many monks and too little gruel, and being short of funds, over these years, Dean Zhang Kaishuo has not managed to obtain a single item that increases the probability of a Demon King level breakthrough.

Similar to Dean Zhang Kaishuo, Dean Ning Wei is in the same situation.

"I actually happen to have a jar of Bai Ze Essence Blood, though I don't know how many Academic Credits I can exchange it for?"

Li Zhangsheng did not look at the information on other Demon Pets, silently calculating the gains and losses in his heart.

This jar of Bai Ze Essence Blood was of no use to him and could only gather dust in his Space Ring; rather than that, it would be better to trade it with Dean Zhang Kaishuo so that both parties could get what they needed.

According to Li Zhangsheng's calculations, if the Golden Jade Alpaca evolved to the next stage, the probability of breaking through to the Demon King level would only be a little over twenty percent.

Although the probability was not very high, Dean Zhang Kaishuo could not let this opportunity pass; after all, he was already nearly seventy years old, and even if he did not aspire to become a King, a Pseudo-King was his life goal.

As for how many Academic Credits this jar of Bai Ze Essence Blood could be exchanged for, Li Zhangsheng thought of the Bi Fang Essence Blood auctioned half a year ago.

At that time, Xu Wenhua had won a bowl-sized portion of Bi Fang Essence Blood for the price of 80,000 Soul Crystals.

Bai Ze Essence Blood and Bi Fang Essence Blood belonged to the same grade of essence blood, with little difference in value, and one jar was equivalent to the capacity of four bowls, so this jar of Bai Ze Essence Blood could probably sell for 320,000 Soul Crystals.

Of course, the price could not be calculated that way; after all, this was a large jar of Bai Ze Essence Blood, and if it were really put up for auction, the average price would certainly exceed that of a single bowl of Bi Fang Essence Blood by quite a bit.

Li Zhangsheng estimated that this jar of Bai Ze Essence Blood could probably be auctioned for around 500,000, but if converted based on the purchasing power of Academic Credits, it would be about 250,000 Academic Credits, which was still a long way from exchanging for the Hunyuan Golden Lamp.

Thinking of this, Li Zhangsheng suddenly felt a headache; he glanced at the beautiful woman beside him, and with Ning Bizhen's full assistance, he believed that he would surely be able to raise quite a few Academic Credits in a short time, and his heart felt a bit more expectant.

After making a decision in his heart, Li Zhangsheng seemed to remember something and took out the Shuimu Miaozhen Pearl and the Yaochi Golden Jade.

"By the way, Bizhen, these two treasures are of no use to me, so I was thinking of giving them to you; they happen to be useful for the Six-Armed Naga."

This time, Ning Bizhen did not decline and accepted them gracefully.

In a sense, the Six-Armed Naga was a 'token of love' given to her by Li Zhangsheng, which had extraordinary significance for the two of them.

However, Spirit Beasts possessing the Twelve-Armed Naga essence blood were too rare and lived in the depths of the ocean, so Li Zhangsheng could only settle for the next best thing and temporarily use Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure to urge the Six-Armed Naga to complete its evolution.

"When Xiao Na reaches Lord 9th Rank, I will have her consume them; perhaps she will be able to become a Demon King in one go."

Xiao Na was the nickname Ning Bizhen had given to the Six-Armed Naga, and it would probably take a few more months for her to reach Lord 9th Rank.

"The reason I called you over this time, besides these materials, is mainly about the matter of refining the Imitation Demon Refining Pot; in order to avoid any accidents, I need your help."

Li Zhangsheng had waited for this moment for a full half a year; the combination of the Imitation Demon Refining Pot + Book of Bloodlines was exciting just to think about, and he wondered to what level it could increase the extraction rate.
