After entering the Exotic Beast Intermediate Soul Master Academy, Yang Pingan finally understood the huge gap between different academies.
Even though it was only an Intermediate Academy, as an affiliated academy of the Advanced Spirit Beast Soul Master Academy, most of its graduates entered the Advanced Spirit Beast Soul Master Academy, forming a complete chain of Spirit Master cultivation.
The entire academy covered a vast area, conservatively estimated to be several hundred acres, containing various training grounds and simulated environments, making it very suitable for Beast Spirit cultivation.
Also, due to its close relationship with the Advanced Spirit Beast Soul Master Academy, the academy’s library and various resources were more comprehensive, especially in the research of Spirit Beasts and Spirits, which could be described as outstanding.
The operation of such a large academy, of course, would not rely solely on the meager tuition fees from its students.
Exotic Beast City also seemed to be the primary location for Spirit Beast domestication and trade on the entire Douluo Continent.
Near Exotic Beast City, there was an Exotic Beast Forest where various Spirit Beasts were kept, available for trade among Spirit Masters.
This also led to many Spirit Beast vendors and shops throughout Exotic Beast City, ranging from the sale of various Spirit Beast meats to the trade of Spirit Beast Spirit rings—literally everything imaginable.
After strolling around Exotic Beast City a few times, Yang Pingan found the entire city to be like a Spirit Beast trading hub.
He even discovered some excellent Spirit Beast cubs, but unfortunately, their age was too low.
Of course, more prevalent was the sale of low-level Spirit Beasts, such as Spirit Beast horses used for hauling and transport, and griffins for communication.
These were highly popular among various major forces and commanded high prices.
Since the start of the semester, Yang Pingan had begun his rigorous training plan.
Firstly, Yang Pingan himself wore a full set of weighted gear, including a weighted vest and wrist guards, totaling about one hundred jin.
Every afternoon, Yang Pingan would conduct weighted running training on the training ground.
After exhausting himself, he would return to the Dormitory to meditate.
It must be said that this kind of training, pushing his body to its limits, indeed had certain benefits.
Each time he broke through his limits, his body experienced an unprecedented relaxation, and his meditation speed would slightly increase.
Secondly, there was the matter of reading.
Every morning, he had to spend a certain amount of time reading, and as usual, this was done during class.
The most important point was the simulated environment.
The academy had various simulated environments suitable for Beast Spirits, including those for fighting Spirit Beasts, which could also enhance his personal combat abilities. Read this novel at novelping.com for the best experience.
The Purple Gold Mastiff, however, had a tougher time.
For so many years, he had only leisurely slept in the Blacksmith Shop.
Now, every time he entered the simulated environment, there were various Spirit Beasts, many of which he had to face alone, and his small body was frequently beaten up by Spirit Beasts.
Finally, there was the medicinal bath.
Among the items his father left for Yang Pingan were several medicinal bath formulas.
In fact, as long as it wasn’t the most top-tier medicinal bath, the cost was very low.
The daily cost of a medicinal bath was estimated to be only a few gold coins, which was not much for Yang Pingan at present.
He remembered in the original work, at Shrek Academy, Shrek’s teachers relied on the one hundred gold coin from all students, and each student’s medicinal bath and food lasted for several months.
However, to Yang Pingan’s disappointment, even with the vast number of books in Exotic Beast Academy, he couldn’t find the Immortal Plant knowledge he truly desired.
In such a large academy, the library’s resources could be described as all-encompassing.
There was an entire room dedicated to descriptions of various medicinal herbs, but unfortunately, they only recorded common herbs.
Occasionally, he would encounter knowledge about one or two Immortal Plants, but it was only fragmentary.
Even after Yang Pingan searched the entire library for knowledge about medicinal herbs, he only found descriptions of qi rong tong tian chrysanthemum and the eight-petaled immortal orchid.
There was no information about any other Immortal Plants.
The qi rong tong tian chrysanthemum was Chrysanthemum Douluo’s Spirit, and it was a rare, top-grade plant-type Spirit on the entire Douluo Continent, so naturally, many people researched it.
The eight-petaled immortal orchid was a top-grade among orchids, but he only saw some picture descriptions in a dilapidated book, without even specific functional descriptions.
Besides these, Yang Pingan’s entire collection of books contained no other Immortal Plant descriptions.
Especially the ninth grade purple ganoderma, which Yang Pingan valued most, had not a single mention.
Even after Yang Pingan flipped through countless descriptions of ganoderma-like plants, there was no information about the ninth grade purple ganoderma, let alone the ninth grade dragon ganoderma that Yang Pingan yearned for even more.
However, Exotic Beast Academy’s research on Spirit Beasts was very extensive, basically encompassing all Spirit Beast knowledge on the entire Douluo Continent, and even including some introductions to sea Spirit Beasts.
Especially when Yang Pingan found the description of the Golden Holy Dragon, he was quite stunned, never expecting that a Spirit Beast like the Golden Holy Dragon had actually appeared on the Douluo Continent.
According to recent records, it was estimated that there were no Golden Holy Dragons left even in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Another place Yang Pingan was very satisfied with was Exotic Beast Academy’s cafeteria.
The Exotic Beast Academy cafeteria offered a rich variety of food.
In addition to the usual everyday foods, it also provided various Spirit Beast meats, and the prices were relatively low.
Spirit Beast meat contains extremely strong energy.
Even ordinary low-level Spirit Beasts can significantly improve a Spirit Master’s physical fitness, and can even slightly increase cultivation speed by consuming Spirit Beast meat for energy intake.
Additionally, whether in the Exotic Beast Intermediate Soul Master Academy or the Advanced Academy, all students enjoyed a relatively high status within Exotic Beast City.
At least, no imprudent merchants dared to provoke them casually.
Yang Pingan found it relatively convenient to buy and sell medicinal herbs or purchase other items in Exotic Beast City.
At least in Yang Pingan’s eyes, the Exotic Beast Academy was a paradise for cultivation in the short term.
However, even with such a good cultivation environment, the increase in Soul Power gradually slowed down considerably.
The biggest limitation was still his Innate Spirit Power level.
Yang Pingan gradually began to understand why Yu Xiaogang could never break through to level 30 in his lifetime.
Although he now had various enhancements, he probably still couldn’t compare to Yu Xiaogang’s original cultivation conditions, and his Soul Power advancement speed was ultimately still insufficient.
Time flew by.
Yang Pingan had already spent a full year and a half in the Exotic Beast Intermediate Soul Master Academy.
During this period, apart from various cultivations and studies, he didn’t concern himself with anything else.
In the eyes of others, Yang Pingan was a taciturn lunatic who only knew how to cultivate.
Of course, no Intermediate Spirit Master Academy or Advanced Soul Master Academy lacked such lunatics.
Many people, for the sake of Soul Power cultivation advancement or to research a self-created Spirit Ability, would disappear for several days, and the teachers were already accustomed to it.
The Exotic Beast Intermediate Soul Master Academy serves as a small transition.
