But after ancient times, Yuan Spirits fell silent, the world became barren, the heavens and deities broke through their realms and ascended, leaving behind descendants who could not be nurtured properly. In this turbid and evil age, amidst the calamities of heaven, earth, and demons, they struggled desperately.

As such, progressing in cultivation was not only slow but also fraught with great risks, especially from the Perfect Four Realms to the Five Realms. It required the Three Flowers to gather atop one’s head, fusing the internal and external, combining mana, Taoist cultivation, and the physical body, with the essence, qi, and spirit integrated as one. The risks were enormous, and a single misstep could lead to deviation and the complete destruction of one’s cultivation.

The great schools of Taoism were better off, for they had the Ancestor Master’s Altar that could not only protect oneself but also aid in breakthroughs. Thus, each generation had True Men emerge, and sometimes, they even achieved the status of a True Monarch.

But they, these Kind Spirit Monsters, had no such fortunes.

Even if they were kind-hearted and dared to establish a Mana Altar to accept offerings from all directions, they would be condemned as conducting depraved rites. Taoist cultivators would certainly destroy their mountains and temples, and exterminate their homes and lineages.

Therefore, life was difficult for Spirit Monsters, even more so for Kind Spirit Monsters. Like this couple who were nearing the end of their lives and were merely at the stage of Perfect Four Realms with no hope of reaching the Five Realms and becoming a Demon King.

But at this time, two Supreme Grade Spirit Pills of thunderbolt creation were presented before them.

With these Spirit Pills, they succeeded in breaking through and entered the realm of the Demon King.

Heaven had shown mercy; it was the first time in the Xin Family’s millennium-long heritage that a fox achieved the Demon King status.

Their hardship was beyond words.

This Foundation Building Pill could assist in breaking into the Five Realms, and its value goes without saying, especially to various Spirit Monsters.

Today, the Guo Bei Academy had established a mature contribution system. Whether it was students, teachers, or those Kind Spirit Monsters who devoted themselves to service, they could earn academic credits and Mana Money through various tasks. These could then be exchanged for milled rice, medicinal pills, weapons, magical treasures, Taoist True Scriptures, and other cultivation necessities.

Among these, the Foundation Building Pills produced by Mingxiao Taoist Temple at Mount Jilei were undoubtedly the most popular and the most expensive.

Their eldest daughter, Miss Xin Shisi’s sister Xin Yiniang, had been progressing steadily in her cultivation with the aid of the academy, and now had reached the same stage of Perfect Four Realms as they had, ready to make a breakthrough at any moment.

Hence, during this period, the elderly couple and the various foxes of the Xin Family had been continuously taking on tasks, accumulating academic credits to exchange for Foundation Building Pills for Xin Yiniang.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yang had already prepared them in advance.

This surprise was both delightful and unsettling to them, laced with anxiety and worry.

They were well aware that their son-in-law was no ordinary individual, and that the academic credit-contribution system established in the Guo Bei Academy was a system, a regimen that concerned future development and influenced the big picture—a public apparatus.

How could a public apparatus be used for personal benefit?

If what is public is used for personal gain, then surely people’s hearts will become divided!

Having already received two Foundation Building Pills, if they were to ask for more, even with the connection of kinship, it might well provoke jealousy in others and upset the balance, especially among those students who diligently served the academy.

We work hard, earning credits and exchanging them for sustenance, and you ascend with just one step through connections?

What kind of fairness is that?

If everyone were to follow suit, focusing on relationships and networking, who would truly be dedicated to their duties?

Wouldn’t the system and regimen that the Guo Bei Academy had established with great effort collapse overnight?

Although their son-in-law held high prestige, and there was no one in the academy who did not respect him, and even if he were to show favoritism no one would say anything, some things, once started, could not be stopped.

If one does not abide by the rules oneself, how can one set an example and serve as a model teacher?

Such a transgression was too great for the Xin Family to bear!

Relationships need to be maintained by both parties. Taking advantage of them unilaterally, without restraint, will only lead to the thinning of bonds and eventually the breaking of the relationship altogether.

Therefore, the couple and the fox girls had yet to mention Xin Yiniang’s culmination in cultivation, even concealing it from Miss Xin Shisi. They silently took on tasks, accumulated academic credits in contribution, waiting to exchange them for Foundation Building Pills.

But now…

Looking at the medicinal pills presented by Miss Xin Shisi, the elders of the Xin Family felt anxious and uneasy, hastily trying to refuse them.

“Liuxian, this cannot be done!”

“As for academic credits, we will soon accumulate enough, and then we will naturally exchange them for Foundation Building Pills for Yiniang. As the head of the academy and a model for teachers, how can you commit such an act of using public resources for private purposes? We cannot bear such a sin.”

“Yes, please take back these medicinal pills. It is not urgent for Yiniang at the moment.”

The two elders from Xin Family repeatedly declined.

Xu Yang smiled reassuringly and said, “My dear in-laws, rest assured, this is a personal gift and has nothing to do with public systems; after all, humans are not emotionless vegetation, and those in public positions can have private lives, as long as they do not disrupt the established laws!”

Having said that, he added, “Moreover, due to the increasing production of various materials, Mingxiao Taoist Temple has decided to increase the output of Foundation Building Pills. Accordingly, the academy will make necessary alterations. Any student who has advanced from the secondary school to the main campus and achieved the Perfect Four Realms will be eligible for a Foundation Building Pill!”

“This is the academy’s support for education, and the exchange price for Foundation Building Pills will also be reduced to a certain extent to basically meet the demands.”

“Therefore, my dear in-laws, you can rest easy and hand over these medicinal pills to big sister with confidence.”

Xu Yang’s words left the elderly couple from the Xin Family in a daze.

After a while, Old Man Xin finally came to his senses, staring at the Spirit Pills in front of him and then at his worthy son-in-law, stuttering, “This… this…”

He was stammering, at a loss for words.

No wonder he was so discomposed.

The significance of Foundation Building Pills goes without saying.

Currently, the North City Academy has been able to gather such a large number of Kind Spirit Monsters for two main reasons.

One is because of their son-in-law, who is exceptionally talented and well-known throughout the lands, and because North City Academy teaches without discrimination, opening its gates widely, and has the strong capability to offer shelter to Kind Spirit Monsters from being hunted by Demons and slain by those on the Righteous Path, attracting female spirits from all directions along with their families to seek refuge at the academy.

The second reason is due to various cultivation resources and miraculous Spirit Pills available there.

Among these, Foundation Building Pills are the most valuable and attractive, but due to their limited production, they haven’t been able to be supplied in large quantities to meet all demands until now.

Even to his own knowledge, within North City Academy, there are at least dozens of four-realm Spirit Monsters painstakingly accumulating credits, waiting to exchange for Foundation Building Pills.

At this moment, if Foundation Building Pills are produced in large quantities for these four-realm Spirit Monsters who have joined the academy, it would likely be just a matter of moments before North City Academy would see a surge of new Five-realm Monster Kings.

Dozens of Monster Kings?

How could he not be shocked by that thought?

And this is only considering the Kind Spirit Monsters, not even the human cultivators.

Although it has been a short time, among the nine main campuses, there aren’t many four-realm cultivators, which are nowhere near as numerous as the four-realm Spirit Monsters who have brought their families to seek refuge, but all in all, there are about twenty to thirty people.

If all of them were to breakthrough and achieve the Five Realms, just how powerful would North City Academy become?

What, betrayal?

Over the years, among the many disciples of North City Academy, Old Man Xin had yet to see a single one above the third realm turn their back on the academy.

These academy students, especially those who joined Li Mansion’s medical and martial schools many years ago, their loyalty has been unwavering.

Their betrayal is out of the question!

Contrarily, it’s the Kind Spirit Monsters who joined halfway through whom caution must be taken.

But after some thought, Old Man Xin concluded that unless they suddenly lost their minds, there should be no Kind Spirit Monster who would betray North City Academy, right?

Even if there were such fools, their parents, spouses, children, and family members would probably force them to reconsider, even resorting to extreme measures if needed.

Family heritage and the fate of their lineage, how could they allow it to be ruined by one individual’s selfish actions?
