While some students like Wang Julong will likely use these trips to get additional resources, most will travel to Liro City to sell medicines and donate money to their families. The Royal Academy of Arts is fully aware of this, but considering the number of practitioners who join the Royal Army after graduation, they think the medicine is an acceptable investment.

“Once every year, we encourage our students to leave the academy for field training,” Mr. Li Yuan continued to look around, “Some people will follow their families into the magic forest, while others will work with their family guards for a while. Those who do not have suitable for field practice will be offered to the Royal Army.”

Yan Xiaobao nodded. He had heard about this when he first met Rong Ming, so he knew that the academy was valuable to the student's external practice, so he expected this. Although most of these students were thankful to Lord Rong Liang for his martial arts school in the city, he felt a little respect for the royal family's rein in such a young era.

Teacher Li Yuan has been talking about the specific regulations of the school and which buildings are used for the purpose that Yan Xiaobao is not interested in at all, but instead fell into deep thought.

Yan Xiaobao knew that the rong twins would probably let him follow them into the magic forest next year, but now he was not sure how much he should accept from the rong family. They have been treating him specifically for a while. Yan Xiaobao knew that Rongxing and Rongming were not hostile to him, but Lord Rongliang was the city lord. It was obvious that he was used to planning and inciting people's hearts, so Yan Xiaobao would not accept him because he didn't know what reward Lord Rongliang would expect.

Although Yan Xiaobao didn't want to rely on Lord Rongliang's future, he also knew that his family could not help him practice. None of them had cultivated a higher level than the students, and their economy was already very bad. Asking them to buy pills was like asking them to sell their land, which was something Yan Xiaobao would never do.

In the end, Yan Xiaobao decided to rely solely on himself and Lan Feng. They would gain strength together without owing anything to their family and friends.

However, Yan Xiaobao knew one thing that they would rely on themselves, and the other thing that was to realize it, and the most important thing was to have money. It doesn’t matter whether it is this world or his old world. Money is what makes the impossible possible. Yan Xiaobao needs a way to make money.

The first thing that flashed in Yan Xiaobao's mind was Gao Yan, and there were greed and expressions on his faces. When they heard about the martial arts skills he found in the magic forest. It seemed that martial arts skills were a good way to make money, but selling those advanced martial arts techniques had some shortcomings, which led to Yan Xiaobao's uncertainty.

After fighting Wang Julong, Yan Xiaobao now realized how important and powerful the advanced martial arts skills that Lan Feng gave him were. If he sold that ranking skill, he would not be able to control who would buy them. If they ended up falling into the hands of the Wang family or the Deng family, he would likely cause more trouble for himself.

"Why don't you ask me?" Lan's thick voice appeared in Yan Xiaobao's center, which made the white-haired boy a little panicked.

‘Do you have a solution?’ he asked curiously, and when he noticed Lan Feng gasping, he sighed in his heart, with a confident expression.

"I am Lan Feng, the legendary Lan Fenghuang! Of course, I have a solution," he said with his usual arrogant attitude. Yan Xiaobao didn't ask anything, just observed the boy with feathers, waiting for him to continue.

‘I have a lot of martial arts skills, even spiritual art skills. I even have some skills that you don’t even know what is, but I won’t share with anyone. Some of them are really useless in my unlimited supply of military and spiritual art skills. Their rankings may be very high and their potential is almost limitless, but some of them have been tailored for creators so no one can activate them, others create very quickly and they become unstable. The cultivators in this city will not be able to see if they are useful and they will buy them because they believe some of their cultivators may one day be able to really activate it.

After hearing the news, Yan Xiaobao frowned. Although it seemed promising, they rely on their family members that no one happened to be able to activate their skills.

"Don't worry," Lan Feng said calmly, "even if they manage to learn this skill, it will take them several years to actually complete it, and by then you will leave here."

When Yan Xiaobao heard this, he snorted. Lan Feng was definitely a person who only cared about himself and a few specific people, and everyone could die for everything he cared about.

Although this plan has some loose endings, Yan Xiaobao knows that this is the best possibility for them to make money quickly. Hopefully no one around knows how to activate these skills.

"Okay," he finally agreed and sighed, "This class brings us to the library. I need to check something before we start planning how to do this."

As Teacher Li Yuan spent a lot of time explaining all the quality training methods offered by the Royal Academy, the rest of the lesson slowly passed. Since all civilians learned the standard training methods in martial arts schools, every teacher had to provide this information to teach freshmen.

The Royal Academy of Arts is obviously more prestigious than martial arts schools, and they are capable of providing more detailed planting methods, yet civilians have never been taught about differences in previous methods, as this has been considered unnecessary information since martial arts schools. There are no multiple methods to choose from.

Yan Xiaobao spent time thinking deeply, constantly considering the risks of selling advanced martial arts skills. He tried to come up with other ways to make money, but no solution could provide significant income no matter what solution he proposed.

Yan Xiaobao sighed deeply, unable to completely ignore the discomfort of Deng Wu's sudden mastery of advanced martial arts, so he decided not to worry about this anymore. Instead, he let his eyes sweep over the other students.

Most civilians were paying attention to every word Mr. Li Yuan said, while the nobles were busy doing other things. Some were chatting next to them in a low voice, while others were clearly mocking the civilians. When they noticed his gaze, several were staring at Yan Xiaobao fiercely, and Yan Xiaobao looked at Wang Julong again.

Wang Julong is another reason why he must be careful. Deng Wu is terrible because of his knowledge; however, Yan Xiaobao heard that he is not an outstanding genius. The possibility of his ability to activate skills is very limited.

On the other hand, Wang Julong has a high temperament, and at the same time, he has handled enough skills for Yan Xiaobao to be unable to defeat him. If he has another high-level skill, then it is certain that Yan Xiaobao cannot win with the skills he has now.

Before participating in the college’s rules on duels, Teacher Li Yuan finally completed a speech on Qi Peifa.

Yan Xiaobao had heard all the rules of Rong Ming and Ma Kong before duel with Wang Julong, so he decided not to pay attention to the speech, but instead discovered the spark of the non-combat martial arts technology that fired in the lower grades ranking fire he was completely concerned about.

Lan Feng was about to complain about the choice of martial arts skills again, but he noticed a slight change in Yan Xiaobao's soul, a sense of expectation, as if he noticed what was hidden in this skill volume, and Lan Fenghuang decided to keep quiet and wait.

Wang Julong noticed that the white-haired boy had already started to study and narrowed his eyes. He quickly vowed to defeat Yan Xiaobao, closed his eyes and began to meditate, slowly sucking the flowers from the room, and refining it into breath.

Everyone in the room noticed the essence of movement and looked at the nurtured Wang Julong. This scene shocked most civilians, because they never expected anyone to be so bold that they ignored the teacher they were still talking to, but instead began to meditate.

However, when looking at Wang Julong, everyone will also see Yan Xiaobao comparing the two geniuses. Looking at this child, the students are even more shocked when they notice that they are not focused on the teacher. He sits quietly, looking at the seemingly martial arts skills.

The civilians were surprised as they looked at the two boys. They were obviously of the same age group, but the two felt that they were in a completely different world from them. Their indifferent attitude and stoic expression clearly let others know what a true genius means.

Looking at the two children, Teacher Li Yuan could only sigh softly. The competition was a great thing, especially because it could increase their speed faster than the unmanned competition. However, Teacher Li Yuan couldn't help feeling a little helpless because both boys obviously ignored him and did not pay attention to his speech.

Instead, he cleared his throat and continued to explain the rules of the duel, about the venue open for everyone and the student emblem that can record the outcome.

When Mr. Lee Yuan arrives at the part where he explains the rewards of defeating his opponent, the chance of getting a higher-ranked yard, or even the possibility of a mountaintop yard, can no longer excite them. Greed and expectation begin to shine in their eyes, and the students are speaking to their sidewalk, discussing the possibility of a mountaintop yard.

Unfortunately, when Teacher Li Yuan continued to speak and published two students, Yan Xiaobao and Wang Julong, who are currently living in these yards, the excitement quickly faded.

Despite the incredibly tempting mountaintop courtyards, they are not so tempting that they give students the illusion that they can beat either of the two.

"However," said Mr. Li Yuan, "there is another way to gain the right to live in a mountaintop courtyard." The comments caused the students to hold their breath, hoping to hear something more likely to happen.

“At the end of each semester, the branch of the Royal Academy of Arts in Riro City will hold a competition. The college encourages all students to participate, as any participant will receive additional medication rewards.”

Yan Xiaobao slowly opened his eyes from the scroll in his hand and looked at the teacher curiously. He had heard of this competition before, but he only heard that the courtyard on the top of the mountain was a prize.

When Teacher Li Yuan noticed Yan Xiaobao suddenly noticed him, his happy expression appeared on his face, and he quickly continued: "The higher the students rank, the higher the rewards they receive. The right to live in the courtyard on the top of the mountain, the right to high-end pills, and even the permission to enter the advanced martial arts skills room in the skill hall are different!"

These extra prices are valuable to Yan Xiaobao and Wang Julong. Although they already live in the courtyard of the top of the mountain, they can always use powerful martial arts skills. Yan Xiaobao knows that he can rely on Lan Feng to provide sect skills, but Yan Xiaobao also clearly knows that Lan Feng has not created all sect skills, so adding more things to their collection will never be hurt.

When he saw the reward, he was obviously the most attractive medicinal pill. Especially those who were considered high-level. At present, Yan Xiaobao didn't know how much these martial arts skills would sell, nor how much medicine he would spend, so he couldn't help but think that even when he was selling skills, he was still short of money to buy pills.

Teacher Li Yuan ended the course after news about the Royal Academy Championships. Just as at the end of the course, loud ringtones could be heard throughout the mountains, indicating that lunch was being served in the cafeteria.

Some students immediately rushed from Qili class to the cafeteria, while others gathered to discuss the topics touched in the first lesson.

Teacher Li Yuan stayed in the classroom for a while and saw whether any students asked him questions, but no one noticed him, and he quickly walked out of the door.

Yan Xiaobao stayed in the seat behind the room and watched a group of students leave. There was no more lesson today, but Yan Xiaobao still had something he wanted to plan.

He slowly stood up from his seat, and although he was one of the last students to leave the room, Wang Julong and his followers were still sitting inside. Wang Julong was meditating, likely refining the essence he had absorbed earlier, and other noble children waited patiently for him to finish.

Yan Xiaobao couldn't help laughing as he walked past them. Each child stared at him fiercely and reached out to protect Wang Julong, as if they were expecting Yan Xiaobao to suddenly attack him, while the other was not paying attention.

When Yan Xiaobao left the hall, he did not go to the residential area where the canteen was located, but went further into the mountainous area containing different school buildings, causing Lan Feng to cause a slight panic in his heart.

‘No food?’ he asked, it sounded like the world was over, causing Yan Xiaobao to smile slightly.

"Don't worry," Yan Xiaobao assured the blue feather boy. "We'll eat it soon, but we need to check it out first."

Lan Feng felt puzzled. Although he shared a soul with Yan Xiaobao, all they could feel was the other party's emotions. No matter what Yan Xiaobao's intentions were, it was completely hidden on the other side. Therefore, Lan Feng noticed very curiously that Yan Xiaobao walked towards the library.

Yan Xiaobao had to pass three mountains to reach the library, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at the building. All the buildings of the other academy were built on the top of the mountain, but this library was built from the mountain. The tower had been carved from the edge of the mountain, and the interior had become a huge hall connected to the tunnel and lead to a smaller room for study.

In order to enter the library, Yan Xiaobao had to pass through two large stone gates. When he approached the building, goose bumps appeared on his skin and the temperature dropped because the top of the mountain was covered with the sun.

A warm air exited the building, sweeping Yan Xiaobao, making him smile as he hurriedly entered.

Although the library occupies space throughout the mountainous area, it is not much crowded elsewhere, with only a few elders being noticed here and there, distributed on multiple bookshelfs.
