The Entry-plundering Demon Hunter

Chapter 200: Chapter 200: My Monstrous Younger Brother?

「Early morning.」

Lin Yi emerged from the Qi Transformation Technique’s Spatial Domain.

First, he glanced at the results of last night’s cultivation.

[Current Realm: 4-star]

[Qi and Blood Value: 34.13%]

Lin Yi’s brows furrowed slightly.

’A whole night of cultivation, and my Qi and Blood value only went up by a dozen or so points.’

Clearly, the difficulty of cultivation had increased again after reaching 4-star.

And this was with the aid of the Star River Qi Transformation Technique.

Without this cultivation technique, he feared it would be difficult to raise his Qi and Blood value by even a few points in a single day.

’Looks like I still need to find a way to speed up my cultivation progress!’ Lin Yi thought to himself.

He glanced back at Xiaoqi.

Xiaoqi was still sleeping, curled up in its fleece blanket.

Perhaps sensing Lin Yi was awake, it quickly opened its eyes and looked up at him.

Lin Yi smiled. ”I’ll get your breakfast ready in a bit!”

Getting out of bed, Lin Yi bolted from the bedroom and ran toward the bathroom.

This bedroom was different from the one at Jingnan Hualu.

It didn’t have an en-suite bathroom; you had to go out to use the toilet.

Fortunately, Tang Qinru and Qin Zhaoxue had slept upstairs last night.

He figured there must be a bathroom upstairs as well.

After taking care of business, he also splashed some water on his face.

Feeling refreshed, he had just stepped out of the bathroom when he saw Tang Qinru already sitting on the living room sofa.

And there, on her arm, was Xiaoqi.

”Xiaoyi, Xiaoxue told me this is your pet?” Tang Qinru asked with a smile.

Lin Yi nodded. ”Yeah. After you left, I got it to keep me company.”

”Keep you company? It’s not that simple, is it?

This little guy’s Qi and Blood is incredibly dense. It must be at least a 1-star or 2-star!”

”And its Qi is extremely pure, completely different from an ordinary Demon Beast!”

Tang Qinru’s words shocked Lin Yi. Even Qin Zhaoxue hadn’t been able to discern Xiaoqi’s realm when she saw it.

And somehow, Tang Qinru had even discovered that the Qi and Blood in Xiaoqi’s body had already transformed into Source Qi.

Lin Yi smiled, walked over to the sofa, and sat down. ”Sis, you cultivate Martial Arts too?”

”You think it’s enough for a physician to just focus on medicine? That field branched off from Martial Arts. How could we not cultivate?” Tang Qinru replied nonchalantly.

Then she glanced at Xiaoqi again. ”This little one’s Source Qi is pure. Its bloodline must be extraordinary.”

”It was fate that you adopted it. Take good care of it, and it might be of great help to you in the future.”

”Besides, its flesh, blood, sinews, and bones are all valuable ingredients. If they could be used in medicine...”

Before Tang Qinru could finish,

Lin Yi rushed forward and snatched Xiaoqi back.

”Sis, don’t even think about using it for medicine!”

”Xiaoqi, let’s go! We’re heading to the university!”

Lin Yi hurriedly ran back to the bedroom with Xiaoqi.

Watching him, Tang Qinru couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Then, she added, ”No need to rush off to the university. Breakfast will be here soon. I’ll drive you two back after we eat.”

”Okay...”

Lin Yi hurriedly called back from the bedroom.

A short while later, breakfast was delivered.

It wasn’t a delivery service. Judging from the tone of Tang Qinru’s conversation with the person, it was someone she knew.

After she came back with the breakfast,

she called out, ”Xiaoxue, Xiaoyi, come and eat!”

Hearing this, Lin Yi quickly came out of the bedroom.

Qin Zhaoxue also hurried downstairs.

”Demon Beast Meat?”

As soon as Lin Yi sat down at the table, he recognized the Demon Beast Meat on the plate.

Moreover, with his current knowledge of Demon Beast Meat,

he could guess its realm just from the smell.

”A 5-star Demon Beast?”

Tang Qinru glanced at him, a little surprised.

”Wow, you’ve gotten that good? You can tell the realm of the Demon Beast Meat with just a glance?” Tang Qinru asked with a smile.

Lin Yi nodded. ”Back in the Old District, you fed this to me every day. It’d be a waste if I hadn’t learned anything, right?”

”Sis, this 5-star Demon Beast Meat must be pretty expensive, right?”

”It’s fine. Don’t worry about the price, just eat.”

”Oh, right, why don’t you stop living in the school dorms and just move back home?

I can take you to pick out a car another day, which would make getting around more convenient.”

”You could live here at night and go to the university during the day to accept missions. The university doesn’t have many classes; it’s mostly self-cultivation. They only check if you’ve met the standards during assessments.”

”As for credits, don’t worry about those either. I’ll find someone to sort them out for you. And don’t bother accepting those missions. Just go there, stroll around, take it easy. I’ll handle the rest.”

After Tang Qinru finished speaking,

Lin Yi smiled. ”Sis, are you really trying to get me to just slack off? Don’t worry about my university life. Living in the dorms isn’t so bad; I can even make some friends.”

”I’ll come back to spend time with you on the weekends.”

Hearing this, Tang Qinru glanced back at him.

She sighed softly and nodded. ”Alright, then. But you have to be careful. Those missions aren’t as simple as they seem.”

”Okay...”

Lin Yi nodded in agreement.

When Qin Zhaoxue came over, she greeted Lin Yi and Tang Qinru.

She sat down and had breakfast with them.

After they finished eating, Tang Qinru personally drove Lin Yi and Qin Zhaoxue to the university.

Xingwu University.

One of the four famous universities in the New District.

The moment the car stopped outside the university gates,

Lin Yi looked at the school before him. The main gate alone was tall and imposing.

Looking inside, where was the athletic field? All he could see were networks of smaller roads.

Moreover, the students walking on the roads were all talking and laughing.

When Lin Yi saw the talent tags above their heads, he was utterly shocked.

[2-star Martial Artist Certification...]

[3-star Martial Artist Certification...]

[3-star Martial Artist Certification...]

[2-star Martial Artist Certification...]

Lin Yi randomly glanced at the talent tags of a dozen or so people.

The lowest realm among them was 2-star.

Even 3-star Martial Artists were everywhere, almost a dime a dozen.

”It truly is a famous university. Their realms are so high!” Lin Yi said with some surprise.

Tang Qinru shot him a glance. ”Universities here focus more on cultivation. There are no academic courses; it’s all about training.”

”Besides, when you enter the university, you can first go get a Martial Arts certification.

Once you’re certified, you’ll receive a monthly cultivation stipend. I think 1-star gets 10,000, 2-star gets 50,000, and 3-star gets 100,000...”

Lin Yi’s eyes lit up as he listened to Tang Qinru talk about the cultivation stipend.

He quickly asked, ”What about 4-star?”

Tang Qinru glanced back at him. ”Aren’t you only a 3-star? It’s too early to be thinking about 4-star.

But if you do reach 4-star, I think the monthly stipend is around 200,000?”

”In short, the higher your realm, the more cultivation resources you get!”

”But for ambitious cultivators, this little bit of money is really not enough for anything.”

”Let me put it this way: if you want to advance your realm quickly, hard work is one thing, but you mainly need to supplement it with compound potions.”

”A bottle of First-Grade Qi and Blood Compound Potion costs between 20,000 and 30,000 and is effective for those below 2-star. A Second-Grade Qi and Blood Compound Potion costs 100,000 and is effective for 3-star and 4-star Martial Artists.”

”As for Third-Grade, the price is even higher. It’s effective for 4-star to 6-star Martial Artists, and a bottle costs around 350,000.”

When it came to these compound potions and their prices,

no one knew them better than Tang Qinru.

’No wonder the cultivation stipends are so high. If I want to raise my cultivation level quickly in the future, I’ll probably have to use compound potions too, huh?’

Lin Yi frowned slightly and asked, ”Sis, do these compound potions have any side effects?”

”None. You think compound potions can be compared to those so-called pills and concoctions from the Old District?”

”To be blunt, in our eyes, all those pills and concoctions are just defective products—things that failed to meet the standards of a compound potion.”

”Only in the Old District are they treated like treasures. In the New District, they’ve been improved upon countless times.

The Qi and Blood Compound Potions are far more effective at increasing Qi and Blood, have zero side effects, and their only drawback is that they’re expensive!”

”Right, I brought you a few bottles of Qi and Blood Compound Potion.

You’re a university student now. The sooner you rush to 4-star, the less danger you’ll be in. Take these!”

Tang Qinru took out a briefcase from the passenger seat.

She handed it to Lin Yi, who opened it and took a look.

Inside were six neatly arranged bottles of compound potion, each about the size of an oral liquid vial.

They were just filled with a blue liquid.

Lin Yi quickly asked, ”Sis, what grade are these?”

”Aren’t you a 3-star? I got you Second-Grade Compound Potions. Tell me when you finish them, and I’ll get you more. Don’t be reluctant to drink them!”

Tang Qinru said this with the air of someone fabulously wealthy.

Based on what she’d said, these six bottles of Second-Grade Compound Potion were worth 600,000.

Even drinking one bottle every two or three days, this supply would only last for about half a month.

If he drank them consistently, it would cost over a million a month.

In the Old District, that was an amount of money one couldn’t even dare to imagine.

’What kind of family can afford to drink such expensive compound potions?’

’You couldn’t keep up even if you sold your blood; selling a kidney wouldn’t be enough for two bottles.’

Lin Yi’s mouth twitched.

He was too embarrassed to tell Tang Qinru that he was already a 4-star.

If he told her, she would definitely get him Third-Grade Compound Potions.

The price for those was even more outrageous—350,000 a bottle.

’This isn’t drinking compound potions; this is drinking money.’

Lin Yi quickly said his thanks.

In response, Tang Qinru shot him a cold glare.

”Why are you thanking me? Have you forgotten what your big sis does for a living?

I get them at an internal price, cheaper than the market rate!”

”So just drink them without worry. When you’re done, tell me, and I’ll send you more...”

”Wait, Sis, sending more of these would be a waste. Why not send me some Third-Grade ones instead?”

”Third-Grade?”

Tang Qinru froze for a moment, then quickly turned to look at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi couldn’t hold it in any longer and nodded. ”Yeah. Before I came to the New District, I broke through to 4-star.”

”What?”

Tang Qinru cried out in shock.

Even Qin Zhaoxue, sitting next to Lin Yi, couldn’t help but turn to stare at him.

’Good heavens, he hasn’t even officially enrolled yet.’

’And he’s already at 4-star? Isn’t he a complete monster?’

Even Qin Zhaoxue, who had always been somewhat proud of her own considerable talent,

now looked at Lin Yi with a hint of envy.
