Chapter 182 Canaan Academy Gets Back on Track
After the auction ended, Huo Yuhao ran his fingertips across the crystal plate recording the transaction amount, a pleased smile curving his lips.
"Hehe, Little Yanzi, did you see that? My sixth-grade spiritual weapon, the Gale Sword, sold for a full four million gold coins more than your sixth-grade Battle Spirit Pill!"
"Tch!" Xiao Yan rolled his eyes in annoyance, his face full of disdain. "A swindler! Winning by hiring shills to cheat people is dishonest!"
Huo Yuhao laughed nonchalantly, "No matter what, I won!"
Xiao Yan changed the subject: "By the way, Yuhao, why did you throw out so many spiritual artifacts like you were having a clearance sale? Did Canaan Academy go bankrupt?"
"My classmates at Canaan College cobbled together a 'Weapon Alliance'."
Huo Yuhao explained, his tone slightly subtle: "They—for some reason, seem to have suddenly come up with a grand goal. They want to popularize the art of weapon crafting throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent, just like alchemy. This time, I'm helping them build up their momentum."
Xiao Yan scratched his head, even more confused: "Are your classmates all this passionate—do you aspire to change the world?"
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly: "Indeed—judging from our previous interactions, they are just ordinary students, not very interested in establishing a sect, spreading knowledge, or teaching."
A sudden thought struck Xiao Yan, and he slapped his thigh: "Wait! Could it be that they think spreading the art of weapon crafting throughout the continent is your ideal?!"
Huo Yuhao: "Huh?"
Xiao Yan turned to Little Fairy Doctor for confirmation: "Was Yuhao teaching his weapon-refining method for free at Canaan Academy?"
Little Fairy Doctor nodded: "Yes, Brother Yuhao has publicly placed all the weapon-refining methods, along with a simplified version of the cultivation method for spiritual power, in the library. There are no restrictions, and anyone can see them."
"Just as I thought!" Xiao Yan said with a "detective" expression, pointing at Huo Yuhao: "In their eyes, spreading the art of weapon crafting is your ideal! They're helping you realize your dream!"
Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then suddenly narrowed his eyes and chuckled softly, his voice tinged with kindness: "Hehe—this is actually an ideal that my classmates and I made together! Xiao Yanzi, they must think the same way I do! Don't you think so?"
While Huo Yuhao's divine sense clone was busy refining medicine, holding auctions, and finding clients in the Jia Ma Empire, his main body at Canaan Academy was also busy.
"It's open! The inner courtyard canteen is finally open!" Student A, who had just finished his training, shouted excitedly to his companions, his stomach rumbling.
"Great! I don't have to ask someone to bring me food from the outer courtyard anymore!" Student B was also beaming with joy, as if he had seen paradise.
Student C poured cold water on the idea, saying, "Don't get too excited! This is the inner courtyard! A place where even breathing requires fire energy! Do you think the canteen is free?"
I doubt it!
"Why don't we go in and see for ourselves!" Student A pulled the two of them, and they followed the flow of people into the brand-new and bright inner courtyard canteen.
Arriving at a window wafting with the aroma of food, Student A peeked inside and asked the cafeteria lady practicing her "spoon-shaking skills," "Auntie, is the cafeteria in our inner courtyard free?"
The woman flicked her wrist, and half of the meat in the spoon slid out precisely. Without looking up, she replied, "Look, the first ten windows are free."
-
The following items will incur additional charges.
"Huh? What's the difference?" Student B asked curiously.
"How would I know that much!" The middle-aged woman finally looked up, pointed to the side with her spoon, and said, "Go look at the signs yourself!"
The three of them squeezed to the notice board next to them.
The most prominent place is marked with:
[Canaan Inner Court Dining Hall Rules]
Basic nutritional meals are provided free of charge. Take as much as you like at windows 1-10.
No food may be taken out of the canteen area! Violators will have their monthly energy quota deducted.
Student B pointed to the second rule: "No outside items allowed?"
Student C showed no surprise: "I heard that the School of Foreign Languages has also issued a new school rule prohibiting outside food from the cafeteria."
Student A looked on with a nostalgic expression: "I remember, this school rule has been around for a while, hasn't it?"
Student C explained, "It used to be because the food was so bad that nobody wanted to bring their food back, so Elder Huo abolished it after reforming the cafeteria. Now, some people are acting as resellers, reselling the cafeteria food to make a profit! That's why the school rules have been reinstated, and the penalties are even harsher!"
They continued looking. There, they saw a beautifully crafted "menu":
Snow Silkworm Soup: It is recommended that students who frequently visit the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower consume it at least once a month.
Chalcedony Tortoise Shell Soup: It is recommended that students who frequently visit gravity array areas consume this soup at least once a month.
Moon Dew (drink): It is recommended that students who frequently visit the Soul Illusion area consume it at least once a month.
Jade Marrow and Ginseng Porridge: It is recommended that elders who frequently visit the Level 6 Spirit Gathering Array consume this porridge at least once a month.
Student A looked at the list, a little confused: "Why is it all drinks?"
Student B guessed, "Maybe it's to save time? To cook a big pot at once?"
Student C, feigning profundity, said, "No, no! Elder Huo is no ordinary person. I think it's because soup is easier to absorb and refine, thus more effectively helping us cultivate!"
At this moment, within Huo Yuhao's mental world.
The sphere of light from the Guardian Mirror rolled around at Huo Yuhao's feet, its voice filled with complaints.
"Hey! Still messing around with your lousy academy? Have you finished building all the training areas? When are we going to set off to find the Great Thousand Worlds?!"
Huo Yuhao reassured him, "It'll be soon. As soon as Xiao Yan's wedding is over, I'll set off immediately to accompany you in your search for the Great Thousand World."
The Guardian Mirror suddenly sprang up, nearly hitting Huo Yuhao's face: "I'm not rushing you! Time waits for no one! That desolate plane can only hold on for another year at most! The only way to save it is through the Great Thousand World!"
"Great!" Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
The Guardian Mirror landed on the ground and remained motionless. Then, as if remembering something, it conjured a finger and said with disdain, "There's one more thing! Can you control that old monkey? It's so damn noisy! Even the chicks haven't come in to play these past few days."
Huo Yuhao looked in the direction the Guardian Mirror pointed.
In another area of the spiritual world, the style suddenly changed!
"One, two, one! One, two, one! Head up! Chest out! I'm talking to you! Fifth remnant soul from the left in the third row! What kind of mess is this, with your scattered soul! Solidify yourself!"
Venerable Heavenly Fire, dressed in a somewhat comical military uniform that seemed to have been unearthed from some obscure corner, stood on a high platform, shouting commands with a powerful voice, his spittle spraying all over the faces of the remnant souls.
Below him, countless, varied soul fragments were arranged in a crooked square formation, stiffly performing military training in accordance with the commands of Venerable Heavenly Fire.
"Unity is strength! Ready to sing!"
After the Heavenly Fire Venerable roared, he himself started howling off-key, and the remnant souls around him emitted a disordered, ghostly wailing "chorus," which shook the entire spiritual space.
