141: Chapter 141 All the Benefits at Once! The True Background of Canaan Academy

"You want to go to the Library Pavilion right now?"

Su Qian paused and looked at Xiao Ting with a hint of doubt.

"Yes, I wish to go today." Xiao Ting met Su Qian's gaze candidly. "I'm someone with a naturally strong intuition, and I can often sense danger or opportunities in advance. I feel like something good will happen if I go to the Library Pavilion today."

This sounded novel and completely exceeded Su Qian's expectations. He even surprisingly detected a hint of earnestness in Xiao Ting's tone.

As for whether he could agree to this, Su Qian did not hesitate.

"If you wish to go, I can agree, but I must clarify the potential losses you might face."

The Jia Nan Academy Library Pavilion was guarded by The Two Elders Qian Bai and could be said to be the safest place in the academy.

Never mind that Xiao Ting was only a Two-Star Dou Wang; even a Two-Star Dou Zong wouldn't be able to cause any trouble there.

"Please speak, First Elder." Xiao Ting wore a smile.

Su Qian placed his hands behind his back and looked at him with a calm gaze. "You killed a Dou Wang Elder of the Demon Flame Valley. According to the academy's reward system, you can obtain the qualification to choose one item from the Library Pavilion, or you can convert it into contribution points with me to exchange for cultivation methods, natural treasures, and so on."

"In addition, according to the rules of our Jia Nan Academy, fifty students from the Outer Academy enter the Inner Academy through the selection competition every year. Among them, the top five can obtain the opportunity to enter the Library Pavilion to choose a reward."

"You are a Two-Star Dou Wang. Since you joined the Inner Academy directly based on your talent and strength, you lose the opportunity to obtain entry to the Library Pavilion through the examination. However, the academy naturally won't let you lose out; instead, we will intensify our efforts to nurture you."

"I intended to consult with several elders in charge of management to give you the opportunity to choose two items from the Library Pavilion, but this needs to be decided after a meeting."

"If you go now, I can only guarantee you one opportunity."

This was the loss Su Qian spoke of that Xiao Ting might face: one opportunity to choose an item from the Library Pavilion.

"I see." Xiao Ting nodded in realization. "If I go to the Library Pavilion now, it will be difficult for the First Elder to persuade the other elders to give me an extra chance. After all, the academy has its systems, and I can completely understand that."

"Mhm." Su Qian nodded slightly, feeling that Xiao Ting was a student worth teaching. "The meeting won't take long; I can give you an answer by tomorrow at the earliest. If there truly is an opportunity belonging to you in the Library Pavilion, it will still be there if you go a day late."

Wrong. Going a day late would cause him to miss it. This opportunity really had to be obtained at a specific time.

"First Elder, I still plan to go now." Xiao Ting cupped his hands in a salute.

Su Qian: ?

Did everything I just said become nonsense?

"However, I also want the two opportunities to choose items." Xiao Ting raised his hand to summon the Purple Heaven Flame and spoke with a smile, "If my strength as a Two-Star Dou Wang and the talent I've shown for cultivation aren't enough, then I wonder if my status as a Tier 4 Alchemist is sufficient?"

"What!?" Su Qian's pupils shrank suddenly, and his voice trembled. "What tier Alchemist are you?"

"Tier 4." Xiao Ting took out the badge representing a Tier 4 Alchemist and smiled. "Before coming to Jia Nan Academy, I stopped by the Jia Ma Holy City and completed the assessment with Fa Ma, the president of the Alchemist Guild there."

*Hiss!*

Stormy waves surged within Su Qian's heart.

Was a Tier 4 Alchemist outstanding? There was no doubt about that.

But with Su Qian's strength as a Three-Star Dou Zong, his position as the First Elder of the Jia Nan Academy Inner Academy, and having the support of the powerful Dou Zun Mang Tianchi, he could even call upon a Seven-Star Alchemist.

Of course, being able to call upon one was one thing; even a Tier 6 or even Tier 5 Alchemist was worthy of his courteous treatment.

The problem was that Xiao Ting was not even sixteen years old, yet while possessing such outstanding strength, he also possessed Tier 4 alchemy skills.

The strongest Alchemist in Jia Nan Academy was only a Tier 5 Alchemist, Fire Elder, who was the head of the Alchemy Department.

With Xiao Ting's talent, he would likely surpass Fire Elder before the age of twenty?

This was far more terrifying than cultivation talent.

"Xiao Ting, you've underestimated yourself." Su Qian's voice trembled. "How could two opportunities be enough? I will take you to the Library Pavilion right now and let you choose three items. As for the contribution points from killing the Elder Blood Skull, you can choose one item or keep them to exchange for other benefits from me."

In his eyes now, Xiao Ting's value was more than four or five times higher than it was moments ago.

Originally, he was just a future top-tier powerhouse connection with strong cultivation talent.

Now, he had become a future powerful Alchemist connection who also had strong alchemy talent.

"Thank you, First Elder." Xiao Ting naturally accepted without any hesitation and added, "First Elder, a maid of mine will arrive in a few days. Can she be settled in the Inner Academy?"

"You're the first one to want to bring a maid while studying at Jia Nan Academy." Su Qian's lips twitched slightly.

He had thought Xiao Ting was joking with Xun'er earlier, but he didn't expect him to be serious.

But he nodded very directly. "No problem. When the time comes, just mention it to Hu Gan and give a heads-up in Peace Town."

With the matter settled, Su Qian immediately changed direction and led Xiao Ting toward a mountain range.

Xiao Ting didn't forget to write in his Diary during the flight, telling the information he wanted to reveal to those who could see the Diary.

[The Plane Blessing I received today isn't an increase in strength regarding cultivation methods, Dou Techniques, or alchemy skills, nor is it an enhancement of soul power. Instead, it's a secret technique that can only be obtained by meeting specific conditions through a specific method at a specific time.]

[This secret technique was left by the founder of Jia Nan Academy. In Battle Through the Heavens, the setting is that Mang Tianchi founded Jia Nan Academy, but it's later mentioned that the Library Pavilion has a history of several hundred years. At that time, Mang Tianchi wasn't even born; Mang Tianchi and Yao Chen are of the same generation.]

The girls: So, what does Author know about Dou Po? His words are inconsistent; he's just a lousy writer.

[Jia Nan Academy has at least several hundred years of history, while Mang Tianchi has only been the principal for a few decades. He isn't the true founder of Jia Nan Academy; the real founder isn't hard to guess.]

[Mang Tianchi is from the Lei Clan of the Eight Great Emperor Clans. When his strength was at the high-level Dou Zong stage, he was sent by the Lei Clan to be the head principal of Jia Nan Academy. After obtaining an opportunity to break through to Dou Zun, he began traveling the continent.]

[According to the timeline, he should currently be a Peak Nine-Change Dou Zun, the same level as Yao Lao when he was alive.]

[In five years at the earliest, or ten years at the latest, he will break through to the Half-Saint level and become an elder of the Lei Clan.]

[Therefore, the founder of Jia Nan Academy is a member of the Lei Clan.]

[However, the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower and the Fallen Heart Flame were indeed found and left at Jia Nan Academy by Mang Tianchi.]

[The Hun Clan has the Hall of Souls, the Gu Clan's Ye Clan Chamber of Commerce controls the eastern part of the Central Plains, the Lei Clan has Jia Nan Academy, and the Xiao Clan once ruled the Northwest Continent and secretly supported the Burning Flame Valley. I wonder which forces the other clans control; it will be worth investigating and recording in the future.]

Writing up to this point, Xiao Ting stopped his pen.

However, the girls holding the copies were now engaged in a lively discussion.
