Chapter 198 - Qilin Horn

The classroom was less crowded than any other class within the institute. Reaching the first grade was a challenge. One needed not only talent, time, and resources, but also luck.

While this institute was a bridge between the mortal world and the cultivation world, it was not capable of gaining many of the resources which belonged to the real cultivators.

The sects, families, and factions, which belonged to the cultivation world, were struggling to keep the majority of the resources for themselves. An institute such as this would only get the leftovers, and nothing of real value.

The reason that these factions even allowed the institute to have these resources was due to them nurturing some servants for them in the future.

This group of experts was all aware of this point, and while they did not look down on these students, they could not view them as equals either.

The students were all aware that these youngsters were of another world than them, but they held no animosity towards them. While many were envious and slightly jealous, they had no intention of acting on their emotions or showing their envy.

Their strength and their identity completely crushed these students to the point where they all felt admiration towards them. When someone was stronger than them to such a degree, they were unable to display hostility. They knew that there was a difference in their identities that could never be bridged.

Bai Rouyun, on the other hand, was merely a commoner like them. She was from the mortal world, and she was even more useless than them. She had been living most of her life with the mindset of a five-year-old, and although she had regained her mind, she was still not comparable to them.

However, she had turned from a chicken to a phoenix, solely because of the man she had married.

Even though these students were unable to feel hostility towards the youngsters, they did not like Bai Rouyun.

Everything she had could easily have belonged to them, and they felt that she was disgusting and frustrating. She did not deserve all the good luck which had blown her way, and even though she had now joined their class, they felt that she had merely used the resources of the Eternal Shadow Palace to advance to such a level.

"Everyone, find your seats."

The voice of the teacher sounded out, and all the students, which had been gathering in the hallway, instantly hurried into the classroom.

Here they each found a seat and sat down. Although they usually spent all their effort in listening to the teaching material; today, their minds were not in the right place to deal with the methods that the teacher told them about. Instead, they kept feeling complicated about Bai Rouyun and her current situation.

Bai Rouyun was seated in the last row. She had intentionally chosen this place, as she would have a good view of everyone else in the classroom.

She was resting her elbows on the table and her face in her palms. Her eyes casually swept across the entire classroom, but she soon found that the things that they were taught in this institute truly were too low of a level for her.

While she had expected the benefits of a systematic teaching method, these teachers were actually not aware of many cultivation secrets.

Their explanations were flawed, and the methods they introduced were simple. While it was true that one could cultivate when listening to these guidances, it was impossible to reach a high level of accomplishments, and thus Bai Rouyun’s mind began wandering.

Her body was much stronger than before, and her entire being was bursting with strength; but even so, it was still not at a point where it could withstand the Qi in her dantian.

She could not help but narrow her eyes as she began wondering what other options she had. The longer she spent conditioning her body, the slower the progress took.

If she genuinely wanted to continue using this method, then she had to be patient. Her body’s strength had to be upgraded slowly but surely, and she could not afford to rush it. If she did, it was only a matter of time before hidden dangers would cause her to become unable to continue.

Thinking about her options, she suddenly remembered a pill formula that she had seen in the compendium of formulas that Xiao Bao had given her.

The formula was for the Meridian Expanding Pill, and it was meant for enhancing one’s meridians and broadening the size of these channels.

While it would not solve the problem of her body, it was able to make her capable of using a bit of Qi every now and then without harming her foundations.

However, she frowned again. She was not capable of refining the pill as she did not have access to her Qi.

Should she ask Wen Sihan to refine a few for her? She was not sure.

What other methods were there?

"Mother, you can try and find a Qilin Horn." Xiao Bao’s voice sounded in Bai Rouyun’s mind. "A Qilin Horn is extremely rare; in fact, they are as rare as the Phoenix Feathers, but they are also capable of tempering your body.

"The Qilin Horn should be extinct on this continent, but some beasts which have the Qilin bloodline still exist.

"The Qilin Horn will rebuild one’s body completely, but the ones from the diluted bloodline will only temper the current body. I think you should look for one of these."

Bai Rouyun began pondering this possibility. While it did seem rather beneficial, it was near impossible to find a beast with a Qilin bloodline. The Qilin was a legendary beast, and to encounter such a bloodline, one had to be extremely lucky.
