Chapter 679: The Metamorphosis of the Golden-Armored Flying Dragon (First Update, requesting everything)

Administrative Building, Principal's office!

The following morning, Li Zhangsheng went straight to find Xu Wenhua, wanting to exchange for Academic Credits.

This time, the items Li Zhangsheng exchanged were not as miscellaneous as before; there were only Bloodline Potions and Wanxiang Guiyuan Pills, which had to do with the fact that he hadn't killed many people during this period.

"Killing and arson bring golden belts"—this isn't just a saying, especially regarding those Pseudo-Kings; which one of them isn't a person of great wealth?

Due to limited materials, during this period, Kailan had produced a total of four Bloodline Potions and three bottles of Wanxiang Guiyuan Pills.

As for the Advanced Treasures refined by Li Zhangsheng, Xu Wenhua indicated he had no interest, because there were quite a few refiners in the Academy who could refine Advanced Treasures; Li Zhangsheng could only have them digested by the market and the Starry Sky Auction House.

Seeing these two types of items, Xu Wenhua could not help but reveal a smile; with this batch of Bloodline Potions and Wanxiang Guiyuan Pills, the number of mid-to-high-level members in Yuanling Academy might continue to increase.

After just a glance, Xu Wenhua spoke up: "The same old price: 5,000 Academic Credits per Wanxiang Guiyuan Pill, 20,000 Academic Credits per Bloodline Potion, totaling 230,000 Academic Credits. What do you think?"

"Exchange!"

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng chose to agree.

Contrary to Xu Wenhua's expectations, Li Zhangsheng did not immediately hand over his Golden Student Token, but instead solemnly took out an Inheritance Jade Slip.

"Principal, I also want to exchange this!"

Seeing Li Zhangsheng so solemn, Xu Wenhua also became serious, immersing his consciousness into the Inheritance Jade Slip.

Upon looking, even with some preparation, Xu Wenhua could not help but be startled, because this Inheritance Jade Slip recorded a Top-tier Demon Taming Art—the "Yuanshi Golden Chapter"!

That's right, Li Zhangsheng chose to exchange the "Yuanshi Golden Chapter," but this was a truncated version of the incomplete edition, because he had castrated the version that could cultivate to the King rank, making it only cultivatable to the Sixth Rank.

One could tell from the Imperial Secret Technique Building that if Li Zhangsheng exchanged the "Yuanshi Golden Chapter" to the Academy, then the Imperial Family's Yuyan Pavilion would also gain a copy; he had no intention of aiding the enemy.

Last night, he and Ning Bizhen had roughly studied the "Yuanshi Golden Chapter" and discovered that its profoundness and efficacy were far above the "Styx Demon Taming Art." Clearly, even among Top-tier Demon Taming Arts, there were distinctions in quality.

Even among Top-tier Demon Taming Arts, the "Yuanshi Golden Chapter" was a premium one, possibly even on par with the "Zhou Tian Starry Sky Demon Taming Art." It was unknown where the Demon King-level white dragon Ruixifeierzi had obtained it.

With such a powerful Top-tier Demon Taming Art, Li Zhangsheng naturally had no intention of aiding the enemy, so he made the decision to castrate the "Yuanshi Golden Chapter" before exchanging it to the Academy.

Given the Imperial Family's deep foundation, although the "Yuanshi Golden Chapter" that could only be cultivated to the Sixth Rank was still powerful, it could not enhance the Imperial Family's strength, as members of the Imperial Family certainly had better choices; after all, the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong was a Double-Character King powerhouse.

To cultivate to a Double-Character King, one must possess a Top-tier Demon Taming Art capable of reaching the Double-Character King realm.

After a long while, Xu Wenhua put down the Inheritance Jade Slip, then struck the Copper Bell in the Principal's office and input a message using his Mental Power.

Dean Ning Wei had recently created a complete set of Strange Treasures based on the Mother-Child Golden Conch; every high-level member had been issued a Copper Bell. As long as one struck it, they could input information, and others within range would receive it.

Although there were many Copper Bells, their range was far inferior to the Mother-Child Golden Conch, and they could not support real-time conversation, only sending messages; it was equivalent to a mobile phone that only had the function of sending messages.

Soon, the Yuanling Academy Seven Giants gathered together; they examined the "Yuanshi Golden Chapter" Top-tier Demon Taming Art one after another and discussed its exchange price.

Of course, Li Zhangsheng had placed a Restriction on the Inheritance Jade Slip, so they could only view a small portion of information from each layer of the "Yuanshi Golden Chapter."

Not long after, the Yuanling Academy Seven Giants finished their discussion.

At this time, Xu Wenhua, representing the other six Giants, spoke: "Even among Top-tier Demon Taming Arts, the 'Yuanshi Golden Chapter' is a premium one. If it could be cultivated to the King rank, its value would be about double that of the 'Liangyi Weichen Demon Taming Art.' But now it can only be cultivated to the Sixth Rank level, which greatly discounts its value."

Li Zhangsheng nodded, fully agreeing with Xu Wenhua's point of view.

"Principal, then how many Academic Credits can it be exchanged for?"

This was the question Li Zhangsheng cared about most; the high-level Authority manual contained quite a few things that made his mouth water.

Xu Wenhua placed his hands crossed on the table and said: "If this 'Yuanshi Golden Chapter' were placed in our Academy, we would set the exchange price at 150,000 Academic Credits. According to our Academy's rules, you can receive five times the exchange value in Academic Credits, which is 750,000 Academic Credits. What do you think?"

In other words, this castrated "Yuanshi Golden Chapter" was only worth half of the "Liangyi Weichen Demon Taming Art."

However, this was perfectly normal; if it were the uncastrated "Yuanshi Golden Chapter," the price would likely be three or four times higher.

Furthermore, in Li Zhangsheng's view, the value given by the Yuanling Academy Seven Giants was already the highest price they could offer; if it were anyone else, it would likely be discounted.

"Fine!"

Li Zhangsheng was silent for a moment; this way, he would obtain 980,000 Academic Credits, and adding the remaining 20,000 Academic Credits, it would total exactly 1,000,000 Academic Credits, enough to exchange for several things he wanted.

Xu Wenhua took Li Zhangsheng's Student Token and asked: "Zhangsheng, what do you want to exchange for this time?"

"Earth-Listening Secret Technique, Law of Heaven and Earth Secret Technique, one Shengshang Zaohua Dan, a fragment of the Black Tortoise shell, and a Fifth-rank Kui Water Black Lotus."

Li Zhangsheng already had a draft in his mind and reported them directly.

Except for Ning Bizhen, the other six Giants all gasped; although they were prepared, they were still shocked by Li Zhangsheng's wealth.

However, Vice Principal Zhang Kaishuo really wanted to say one thing: "Li Zhangsheng still hasn't paid back the Academic Credits he owes them."

But in the end, he didn't say it.

Xu Wenhua took a deep breath and said: "The Earth-Listening Secret Technique is 300,000, the Law of Heaven and Earth Secret Technique is 500,000, one Shengshang Zaohua Dan is 200,000, the Black Tortoise shell fragment is 200,000, and the Fifth-rank Kui Water Black Lotus is 800,000. Given that you have the permanent Credit Exchange Half-Price Benefit, you only need to pay 1,000,000 Academic Credits."

Li Zhangsheng nodded, accepting Xu Wenhua's proposal.

Like the Hunyuan Golden Lamp before, the Fifth-rank Kui Water Black Lotus and the Black Tortoise shell fragment were stored together in the most secure place in Yuanling Academy.

Li Zhangsheng didn't know where this place was either, but he felt it was most likely placed in the Secret Realm where the Spirit Gathering Stele was located.

"You wait here for a moment; we'll be right back!"

To avoid theft by those in charge, the Seven Giants would act together to retrieve these treasures.

After speaking, the figures of the Yuanling Academy Seven Giants instantly disappeared.

When they reappeared, less than ten minutes had passed. Under the envious gazes of everyone, Xu Wenhua handed these five items to Li Zhangsheng.

Just like that, the Academic Credits Li Zhangsheng hadn't even had time to warm up were back to square one.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng returned to the Number One Courtyard and handed the Fifth-rank Kui Water Black Lotus to Ning Bizhen.

Compared to Li Zhangsheng, Ning Bizhen's defensive capabilities were more than a grade lower; all told, she only had a Star Light Treasure Mirror and the Ancestral Dragon Scale Armor, without a single Low-level World Wonder.

If it weren't for the lack of a Wind Element Crystal, Li Zhangsheng would have been willing to upgrade the Fifth-rank Kui Water Black Lotus to the Sixth Rank, at which point it would count as a World Wonder-level treasure.

Even so, the Fifth-rank Kui Water Black Lotus was a Top-tier Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure-grade Strange Treasure, barely enough to ensure Ning Bizhen's safety. When he found a Wind Element Crystal one day, Li Zhangsheng would also upgrade it.

Ning Bizhen pointed at the Fifth-rank Kui Water Black Lotus in surprise and asked: "For me?"

"Naturally it's for you, otherwise why would I exchange for it? With it, you can also be a bit safer."

"Then I will accept it without being polite!"

Ning Bizhen did not decline, accepting the Fifth-rank Kui Water Black Lotus with fondness.

Li Zhangsheng collected three types of top-tier Water Element materials: Black Tortoise shell fragments, a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Toe, and Ying Dragon Dragon Scale, preparing to refine them into a Water Element Semi-Artifact.

As for the Shengshang Zaohua Dan, Li Zhangsheng prepared to have the Golden-Armored Flying Dragon consume it along with the Xuanqiong Five-Colored Glazed Fruit to help it completely eliminate its congenital deficiencies while significantly enhancing its immunity, lest it accidentally fail its Bloodline Atavism, which would be a huge loss.

In the backyard, Li Zhangsheng called over the Golden-Armored Flying Dragon, which was staying with the Golden Dragon, Black Dragon, and Red Dragon.

Compared to yesterday, the Golden-Armored Flying Dragon's complexion was much better.

"Eat them!"

Under the envious gazes of the other Demon Pets, Li Zhangsheng handed the Xuanqiong Five-Colored Glazed Fruit and the Shengshang Zaohua Dan to the Golden-Armored Flying Dragon.

After swallowing these two treasures, the Golden-Armored Flying Dragon hurriedly lay on the ground, five-colored rays of light and milky-white radiance emerging from its body surface, and its muscles began to tremble uncontrollably.

During this process, the Golden-Armored Flying Dragon's body size was also gradually increasing.

Li Zhangsheng watched the transforming Golden-Armored Flying Dragon while observing Xiaoguai diligently transplanting the spiritual plants in the backyard.

Ever since returning last night, Li Zhangsheng had prepared to transplant all the spiritual plants grown in the backyard into the space of the Dangkang Necklace, allowing them to have a better living environment.

The remaining spiritual plants had basically been transplanted; only the Tree of Life was more troublesome because its roots were too long, but because it was extremely tough, there was no need to worry about damaging its roots during the transplant.

With the help of the Demon Pets, the transplant work for the Tree of Life was nearing its end and would be completed before long.

In addition to the spiritual plants, Di Zhuo and the Purple Firmament Leopard-Lin Beast were also transferred into the space of the Dangkang Necklace.

After about half an hour, the Golden-Armored Flying Dragon finally finished digesting and stood up from the ground.

Compared to before, the Golden-Armored Flying Dragon's originally dull and lifeless eyes had become noticeably sharp, its thin physique had become robust, and its body length had surged to over ten meters.

These were not the most important things; Li Zhangsheng was pleasantly surprised to discover that the quality of the Golden-Armored Flying Dragon had actually improved.

Today's goal: Three, pigs, verify!
