"He seems pretty good to me!!!" Xiao Wu murmured, a joyful smile appearing on her pretty face.
The jade box contained Immortal Grass Essence, and with her ten thousand years of experience, Xiao Wu naturally knew how precious Immortal Grass Essence was.
"Hmm? How could he have Immortal Grass Essence?" A serious question suddenly popped into Xiao Wu's mind. Xiao Wu didn't find it strange that Lin Chen had Immortal Herbs; with Lin Chen's ability, obtaining Immortal Herbs was an easy feat.
However, what Lin Chen gave her was Immortal Grass Essence. Immortal Grass Essence only existed on the Douluo Continent ten thousand years later. Currently, the Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had at most reached the ten-thousand-year limit, and even their sentience had not yet been born.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wu's eyes narrowed. The unknown was the most terrifying. Lin Chen's terror far exceeded her imagination. Recalling Lin Chen's previous words, Xiao Wu shivered even more.
Lin Chen had read her memories, so he naturally knew the trajectory of history, but her understanding of Lin Chen was only superficial.
"I cannot betray my master; I don't want to die!" This thought became incredibly firm in Xiao Wu's heart.
In her opinion, as long as she was obedient, Lin Chen wouldn't make things difficult for her. And that was indeed the case; since she became obedient, not only did her treatment improve, but she also easily obtained the Immortal Grass Essence that others could only dream of. Having tasted the sweetness, Xiao Wu sighed softly and murmured, "In this life, everything I have belongs to my master!!!"
With that, Xiao Wu began absorbing the Immortal Grass Essence from the jade box!
...
In the afternoon, the sky was clear and cloudless. Lin Chen returned to the Douluo Continent earlier than planned from the All Magic Plane. The progress of monster grinding was much faster than Lin Chen had imagined. The demons of the Scorching Plains were endless, and their levels were all at War General Level or higher. After more than a month of perseverance, Lin Chen had already accumulated the resources needed for the next two years. However, Lin Chen didn't plan to return; every bit more was a bonus. Of course, there was no need to work as desperately as before; balancing work and rest was the way to go.
In the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City, at Tianwen Academy, Lin Chen's figure appeared. After reforms, the academy was now completely new, with a vibrant youthful atmosphere permeating the campus. Officially, Lin Chen was the honorary headmaster of Tianwen Academy, but in reality, Lin Chen was a hands-off manager who did nothing.
In the early days of Tianwen Academy's establishment, plans for the academy's future development had already been made. Tianwen Academy only needed to develop step by step according to the previous plans. Due to the significant increase in students, the original teaching staff was clearly insufficient, and Tianwen Academy had to recruit teachers externally. Fortunately, with Lin Chen's reputation, many common Spirit Masters came to join.
In addition to external recruitment, Qian Renxue also provided some Immortal Grass Essence to cultivate Tianwen Academy's teachers. The three former instructors of Heaven Dou Royal Academy were naturally among them. With the nourishment of Immortal Grass Essence, their origins were replenished, and their potential greatly increased. It wouldn't be long before they could advance to Titled Douluo.
With the help of Immortal Grass Essence, there were now ten Spirit Douluo-level teachers, thirty-seven Spirit Saint-level teachers, and over a hundred Spirit Emperor-level teachers at Tianwen Academy. The only Titled Douluo at Tianwen Academy was Dugu Bo, who, at Lin Chen's request, served as the honorary headmaster of Tianwen Academy. It could be said that Tianwen Academy today, whether in terms of scale or teaching staff, was one of the best among all academies on the Douluo Continent. As long as it developed step by step, Lin Chen believed that it wouldn't be long before Tianwen Academy became the top academy on the Douluo Continent, a sacred place of cultivation yearned for by all!
Of course, the current Tianwen Academy certainly couldn't compare to Shrek Academy ten thousand years later, as Tianwen Academy's foundation was insufficient. But for Lin Chen, these were not problems. The current Tianwen Academy also had an outer and inner division. All students who cultivated in the inner division could enjoy the most excellent dietary supplements, training, and future spirit ring absorption plans!
High-quality resources like whale glue were already widely used in the inner division. The daily diet of inner division students consisted of edible Spirit Beast meat, such as century and millennium whale glue, which were added to their meals without their knowledge, continuously improving the physical constitution of inner division students subtly!
As for top-tier cultivation resources like Immortal Grass Essence, they were naturally reserved for their own people. As long as inner division students had excellent character, simple backgrounds, and a grateful heart, willing to serve the Heaven Dou Empire or Tianwen Academy after graduation, they would have the opportunity to obtain Immortal Grass Essence.
The conditions in the outer division were naturally not as good as in the inner division. The total number of students in the outer division reached two thousand, and Lin Chen couldn't possibly provide that many resources. However, students didn't have to worry about their spirit rings; teachers organized spirit hunts every month. For common students with average living conditions, who worked hard, were self-reliant, and had good conduct, the academy also provided them with special care.
In addition to free tuition, Tianwen Academy also established an exclusive scholarship fund, so they wouldn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing, and transportation, allowing them to devote all their time to cultivation!
And the excellent conditions of the inner division naturally couldn't escape the eyes of the outer division students. Therefore, the inner division of Tianwen Academy had become the goal of all outer division students.
As a hands-off manager, Lin Chen was as relaxed as planned, but occasional appearances were still necessary. A large number of common students in Tianwen Academy enrolled because of Lin Chen, and Lin Chen could be said to be their idol!
Lin Chen selflessly publicized the Xuantian Treasure Record, which nobles and Sects regarded as treasures, so that all common Spirit Masters would no longer be confused about their future. It could be said that in the hearts of those common students, Lin Chen was their guiding light in life.
The potential of common people who cultivated the Xuantian Treasure Record greatly increased, and even cultivation bottlenecks that were previously insurmountable could slowly be overcome. It could be said that Lin Chen, by his own efforts, elevated the entire cultivation civilization of the Douluo Continent!
"Look… that's Master Lin!!!"
"That's right, it's Grandmaster Lin!!"
"Master Lin is at the academy!!!"
"Ah… it really is Grandmaster Lin, my idol, I saw him in person today!!!"
The sudden shouts instantly surrounded Lin Chen, who was strolling around the academy, with hundreds of students.
The entire Tianwen Academy instantly became lively. In just a moment, the number of students surrounding Lin Chen reached a thousand.
Helpless, Lin Chen could only encourage the students before Teleportation away from Tianwen Academy.
In the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Emperor Qinghe was sitting in the council hall handling state affairs, his serious demeanor resembling that of a wise emperor of ancient times.
