"Hehe, sister's acting skills need improvement, just now there was absolutely no killing intent in your eyes."
Lin Chen did a carp flip and got up from the bed, hehe smiled.
"Thank you this time, as agreed, I owe you two favors, if not going back on one's word, I can help you with anything."
Bai Ruoyan's answer made Lin Chen pretend to size up her figure and smile evilly: "Is it really anything you can help me with?"
"I can, including those things you men think about."
Bai Ruoyan smiled ambiguously, with dangerous light in her beautiful eyes. With some of her cultivation recovered, she was no longer the one before who let Lin Chen tease her as he wished.
"When my cultivation improves, I should be able to remove more toxins. Maybe sister will need to find me again in the future."
Lin Chen's reply delighted Bai Ruoyan; "Can you still remove my toxins in the future?"
"If my cultivation improves again, there should be no problem."
"In that case, take this star orb. If you encounter any danger within the Desolate Territory, you can crush it and I will come to your side at the fastest speed. Of course, helping counts towards the owed favors too~"
Bai Ruoyan gave Lin Chen a star orb the size of a thumb. He took it casually and smiled leisurely.
"No problem."
Although the time spent with Lin Chen was not long, Bai Ruoyan deeply felt that this young man was extraordinary. No wonder he could stir up a storm in Myriad Spirits City.
"Brother Lin Chen, you came to Myriad Spirits City this time, could it be for the invitation letter of Heavenly Song Academy?"
"Invitation letter of Heavenly Song Academy? What's that?"
Seeing Lin Chen's confused look, Bai Ruoyan was very surprised. There was still someone in the Desolate Territory who didn't know about Heavenly Song Academy?
"You don't even know Heavenly Song Academy? It is the oldest and highest quality institution in Ling Province. It has independent colleges established in all Twenty Four Territories. Heavenly Song Academy gathers peerless geniuses from the entire Desolate Territory. Only those with invitation letters can take the entrance exam of Heavenly Song Academy."
Bai Ruoyan flicked her slender jade hand and an invitation letter with jade quality appeared in her hand.
"I thought you came for this, didn't expect you don't even know about Heavenly Song Academy?"
Lin Chen's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise, "In that case, wouldn't there be masters everywhere in the academy?"
"Not just masters everywhere, among the over 100 billion population in the Desolate Territory, the top martial arts geniuses among millions are gathered in Heavenly Song Academy. Being able to stand out in it means standing above hundreds of millions."
Bai Ruoyan chuckled lightly. Lin Chen seemed to have thought of his goal.
"Miss Bai Ruoyan, may I ask if you can give me this invitation letter?"
Hearing Lin Chen's request, Bai Ruoyan's brows curved charmingly like the moon, she smiled and said, "I can give you the invitation letter, but it will count as me owing you back a favor."
"Alright then!"
Lin Chen took the invitation letter. The more powerful people there were, the more Attribute Spheres he could find! For current Lin Chen, Heavenly Song Academy was undoubtedly the best choice!
Seeing that she had paid back a favor so quickly, Bai Ruoyan was in a great mood. Lin Chen took the chance to ask her about Heavenly Song Academy.
After chatting with Bai Ruoyan for a while, Lin Chen stayed in the lord's residence for a few more days, refining all the Attribute Spheres and cards he had obtained before!
...
Three days later; in a secret chamber of the lord's residence.
Lin Chen sat cross-legged and opened the system interface, listing all his attributes.

Lin Chen suddenly opened his eyes, behind him appeared a pair of wings burning with rolling purple flames, 3 chi wide and over 10 chi long.
The purple flaming wings fluttered slightly, stirring up terrible gusts of wind storms, instantly raising the temperature of the entire secret chamber by more than tenfold!
"With these True Flame Purple Phoenix Wings, my escape ability is tens of times better than before."
The might of the True Flame Purple Phoenix Wings, Lin Chen could currently only display less than 6% of its power. With Lin Chen's current level of physical cultivation, if he tried to fully spur the wings, it would instantly drain all his vital energy.
Putting away the True Flame Purple Phoenix Wings, Lin Chen left the secret chamber. He had finished what he needed to do in Myriad Spirits City, next he would head to Heavenly Song Academy!
Pushing open the door of the secret chamber, Lin Chen saw a group of people already waiting outside in the corridor.
"Little friend Lin Chen! You finally came out."
The ones waiting outside were none other than Shangguan Yunfan and the rest. They were worried the lord's residence would harm Lin Chen, so they came personally to wait for him.
"Everyone, I was just in secluded cultivation these past few days. The lord treated me very well, don't worry."
Lin Chen shrugged, then said to Shangguan Yunfan, "Senior Yunfan, please help me bid farewell to Miss Shangguan Bihan on my behalf."
"You're leaving?"
Shangguan Yunfan was greatly shocked. Lin Chen's gratitude towards the Shangguan family was as heavy as a mountain, yet he was leaving before they could properly repay him?
"That's right, I obtained an invitation letter to Heavenly Song Academy from the lord. I plan to go register."
Lin Chen smiled. Shangguan Yunfan fell silent in thought, then nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I won't keep little friend back. The entrance exam of that Heavenly Song Academy is coming up soon, delays would be bad instead."
"This is a token of appreciation from the Shangguan family, I ask little friend to please not reject it."
Shangguan Yunfan gave Lin Chen a high quality spirit gathering ring, with storage space tens of times greater than what Lin Chen currently had.
"Then you have my thanks, Senior Yunfan."
Lin Chen accepted it with one hand. After bidding farewell to everyone from the Shangguan family, he left the lord's residence.
Because of his fame and influence in Myriad Spirits City, Lin Chen still had to wear a cloak to conceal his appearance when going out.
Returning to the inn, Lin Chen brought along the Flood Dragon Horse and set off on the road leaving Myriad Spirits City.
...
Night time; outside Myriad Spirits City.
A hundred miles away in the Desiccated Woods; Lin Chen rode the Flood Dragon Horse galloping past swiftly.
Suddenly, a flash of purple-gold light glimmered in Lin Chen's eyes. About to enter the range of the Desiccated Woods, he immediately pulled the reins to stop.
"You've been following me for so long, shouldn't you show yourselves now?"
Jumping down from the horse, Lin Chen smiled lightly at the silent surroundings.
With a slap on the horse's butt, he made the Flood Dragon Horse whinny in pain and bolt straight into the Desiccated Woods.
The night wind was slightly cool. Lin Chen stood alone outside the Desiccated Woods. After a while, the darkness actually started rippling with a moving black shadow. Then more and more silhouettes began emerging one after another!
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
