Chapter 391: Ancestral Land Opening Soon, Bathing and Changing

Yan Kuangsheng laughed out loud. "I told you we couldn't hide it, yet you insisted on trying."

Bai Yiyuan said, "You think I didn't know? Lin Moyu, the Creation Academy Ancestral Land is indeed about to open. Since Dean Mo is here, he can give you a detailed explanation."

Lin Moyu had already guessed that the Ancestral Land was about to open the moment he saw Mo Xinghe.

Mo Xinghe said, "The Ancestral Land should open in the coming days. The list of participants was finalized long ago."

"Next, I will tell you the things you need to pay attention to after entering the Ancestral Land."

"Wait a moment." Just as he was about to speak, Ning Tairan interrupted Mo Xinghe.

Several people looked over in confusion.

Ning Tairan said, "Let Yiyi listen too."

As he spoke, a gentle breeze flicked from his fingertip and landed on Ning Yiyi.

Ning Yiyi, who was fast asleep, rubbed her eyes and woke up.

Seeing so many people, she jumped down with a startled cry. Her pretty face turned slightly red, looking a bit embarrassed.

She gave Lin Moyu a reproachful look, as if saying he should have woken her up with so many people around.

Mo Xinghe chuckled and began explaining the things to watch out for in the Creation Academy's Ancestral Land.

The Creation Academy Ancestral Land opens once every five years.

The number of slots for entry each time is extremely limited.

Creation Academy occupies 10 slots, while Chuangshen and Yanhuang Academies each have 3 slots.

The Imperial Family and the Military each get 2 slots.

Additionally, the major clans in the Empire each receive one slot.

Altogether, it adds up to only 30 slots.

Although Creation Academy is ranked lower than Chuangshen Academy, many people still scramble to join it.

It is precisely for these slots.

However, these slots are incredibly precious, with countless eyes watching them.

Even Bai Yiyuan cannot violate the rules.

Although Bai Yiyuan is a God-level powerhouse, he doesn't have a clan, so he doesn't have any slots himself.

That was why he had Lin Moyu join Creation Academy.

As long as he entered Creation Academy, with Lin Moyu's abilities, securing a slot would be a sure thing.

The Ning family also had one slot, and Ning Tairan directly decided to give it to Ning Yiyi.

Ning Tairan truly doted on this granddaughter to the extreme; she was the first person he considered for any good thing.

"There are many living creatures in the Ancestral Land. These creatures are not aggressive, and you must remember not to kill them."

"Near the core of the Ancestral Land, there are many fruit trees. The fruits there can be picked and eaten; you should eat as many as possible."

Hearing about food, Ning Yiyi's eyes lit up. "I can do that! I'm very good at eating. Grandpa Mo, are those fruits tasty? I'm not afraid of sourness, as long as they aren't bitter."

Mo Xinghe laughed heartily. "The fruits shouldn't taste bad."

Lin Moyu had already sensed there was more to the fruits and continued to ask.

Mo Xinghe said, "Picking and eating the fruit is one of the assessments. How much you can eat depends on your own ability."

"But remember one thing: do your best, but do not force yourself."

"After eating the fruit, you will enter the second stage, the Comprehension Stage."

"There will be things inside for you to comprehend on your own. What exactly you comprehend is different every time."

"I can't explain it clearly here either; you'll know when the time comes."

"Most people will be eliminated during this stage. After passing, you will move on to the third stage."

"There is very little information about the third stage. Based on past experience, it should be related to what was comprehended in the second stage."

"Those who passed the second stage couldn't explain clearly what happened in the third stage after returning."

Lin Moyu's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Why is that?"

Mo Xinghe shook his head. "At first, we thought it was a memory issue, but after careful examination, we found that the memories hadn't been tampered with."

"So, this matter has always remained a mystery."

It seemed he would only know for sure once he went there. Lin Moyu thought for a moment and continued asking, "Dean Mo, please continue."

Mo Xinghe smiled. "There's nothing more. Very few people pass the third stage, and the few who do can't explain anything about the fourth stage at all."

"However, one thing is certain: as long as you don't kill the animals and creatures you encounter when you first enter the Ancestral Land, there will be no danger inside."

Lin Moyu noted down the rule about not killing the animals and creatures encountered upon entry.

At the same time, he glanced at Ning Yiyi. Seeing the little girl listening intently, he felt relieved.

He thanked Mo Xinghe sincerely, "Thank you, Dean Mo. I've noted it down."

Mo Xinghe stood up, not daring to accept the formal thanks. "General Lin, there's no need for such courtesy. I feel guilty about the destruction of the Dungeon earlier that caused General Lin to fall into the Abyss. Now, I owe General Lin another great debt of gratitude. If General Lin has any instructions in the future, just speak up."

Lin Moyu smiled. "Dean Mo, you're overstating it. It was all the Demon Worshipping Society's doing; it has nothing to do with you."

Regarding that incident, Meng Anwen and Bai Yiyuan had already investigated thoroughly.

Members of the Demon Worshipping Society had infiltrated the military, but fortunately, Lin Moyu was blessed with great luck.

Not long ago, they had conducted a thorough investigation of the military, dragging out and executing many people.

It had caused quite a stir.

Mo Xinghe had to prepare for the Ancestral Land matters and left first.

Ning Tairan glared at Lin Moyu. "When you go to the Ancestral Land, protect Yiyi well."

Lin Moyu said, "Rest assured, Old Ning."

"Yiyi, come back with Grandpa to make some preparations."

Ning Yiyi gave an 'oh' and followed Ning Tairan away reluctantly.

Once Ning Tairan left, Bai Yiyuan and the other two stared at Lin Moyu meaningfully.

Even Meng Anwen had opened his eyes, which was a rare sight.

It made Lin Moyu feel quite uncomfortable. "Teacher, is there something wrong with me?"

Bai Yiyuan said meaningfully, "You're quite bold, kid, daring to propose to Old Man Ning."

Yan Kuangsheng chuckled. "It's only because Old Ning's temper has improved now. If this were fifty years ago, he probably would have wiped you out with a Forbidden Spell."

"He wouldn't. With Yiyi around, Old Man Ning would endure it no matter what." Meng Anwen's voice sounded faintly. "Lin Moyu, is that what you were thinking?"

Lin Moyu said, "I didn't think that much at the time. I saw that Old Ning cared quite a bit about the Beast God's Leg Bone, and the idea just popped into my head."

It really was a sudden thought, mainly because of Ning Tairan's reaction to the Beast God's Leg Bone.

Bai Yiyuan laughed. "Your reaction was good. The Beast God's Leg Bone is indeed a good thing, and Old Man Ning truly needs it. However, the Beast God's Leg Bone is still not as good as the God's Severed Finger you brought."

Lin Moyu could also see that compared to the Beast God's Leg Bone, the God's Severed Finger contained a trace of vitality.

Even though countless years had passed, its aura of flesh and blood was more abundant.

The key was that the Beast God's Leg Bone was a bone discarded by the Beast God during its metamorphosis; strictly speaking, it wasn't a bone from after it became a God.

Compared to the God's Severed Finger, it was slightly inferior.

Since he already had the God's Severed Finger, one such item was enough.

So, using the Beast God's Leg Bone for a marriage proposal was perfect.

Lin Moyu asked, "Teacher, have you gained any insights from studying the God's Severed Finger?"

Bai Yiyuan grinned. Seeing his expression, Lin Moyu knew there must have been gains.

As long as there were gains, it proved that the God's Severed Finger wasn't useless.

Bai Yiyuan said, "Go bathe and change your clothes. Get yourself cleaned up."

Lin Moyu looked himself up and down; he didn't seem particularly dirty.

Although he had been grinding Dungeons for over ten days, he had changed clothes during that time and felt quite fresh.

Compared to when he returned from the Corpse Realm, he was infinitely cleaner.

Yan Kuangsheng said, "You might not feel it yourself, but your current aura is very cluttered. It contains the scents of various beasts from the Dungeons."

"Bathe and change properly, meditate for a bit, and discard those cluttered auras."

Meng Anwen added, "The animals and creatures in the Creation Academy Ancestral Land are very sensitive; they don't like cluttered auras."

Lin Moyu understood. "This disciple understands."

Back at the academy, Lin Moyu returned to his dormitory to bathe and change, then sat on his bed to meditate.

His scattered thoughts gradually converged, and his aura changed accordingly.

The cluttered auras picked up from the Dungeons were rapidly fading away, becoming pure.

Lin Moyu couldn't feel these auras himself, but since Bai Yiyuan and the others said they existed, they certainly did.

The domain god stone slowly rotated, absorbing every last trace of the faint killing intent on Lin Moyu's body.

While he was meditating, the communicator on his wrist vibrated.

Lin Moyu looked at the communicator, slightly surprised. "Why is she sending me a message?"

Chapter 392: Purification Potion, A Friendship as Pure as Water

In front of the library, Lin Moyu met Shu Han.

Shu Han was as elegant as ever. Wearing a long dress, she waved to Lin Moyu from a distance.

Lin Moyu walked over. "Senior Shu Han, is there something the matter?"

Shu Han smiled radiantly. "What, I can't look for you if there's nothing wrong?"

Lin Moyu said softly, "That's not it."

"Walk with me…" Shu Han said as she walked toward a nearby garden. Lin Moyu didn't say anything and followed her.

As they walked, Shu Han said, "I heard about what happened to you recently. The Corpse Realm must have been very dangerous."

Lin Moyu was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected Shu Han to know about him being trapped in the Corpse Realm.

Not many people knew about this. Even among those in the Imperial Family, those without high enough status wouldn't know.

Outsiders even less so.

He wondered where Shu Han had learned of it.

Facing Lin Moyu's curious gaze, Shu Han said, "Don't worry about where I heard it from; I just know."

"The Creation Academy Ancestral Land is about to open. You should be going, right?"

Lin Moyu hummed in affirmation, not denying it.

Shu Han took out a bottle of potion and handed it to Lin Moyu. "This potion is for you."

The potion in the bottle was transparent, with occasional glimmers of light visible under the sunlight.

Shu Han explained, "This is called a Purification Potion. It can purify all the cluttered auras on your body."

Only then did Lin Moyu realize that Shu Han knew he was going to the Creation Academy Ancestral Land and had come specifically to give him the potion.

It seemed Shu Han also had some understanding of the Ancestral Land, or perhaps she had been there before.

"Thank you." Lin Moyu didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the Purification Potion.

Shu Han urged, "No need for thanks, the medicine isn't expensive."

How could such a miraculous potion not be expensive?

Lin Moyu didn't dwell on the issue; neither of them had ever bothered calculating such things between them.
