Chapter 862 The Tortoise Academy
"Thank you for saving me." The woman said to Qin Haodong.
Qin Haodong asked curiously, "You are a warrior at the Apotheosis Realm. Why didn't you directly kill the fourth-level demonic beast?"
"You think I never thought about it? But it looks so scary. I was petrified the moment I saw it!"
Then the girl patted her plump chest and tried to calm down.
Qin Haodong was rendered speechless, "Then how did you reach the Apotheosis Realm? You're kind of a master now. Why are you so afraid of a little monster?"
The woman said with embarrassment, "I just followed my master's instructions. But I'm still afraid of that thing."
Qin Haodong shook his head. This girl was just like the students who had high marks but were incompetent. They were good at taking the examination but when they got out on their own, they were lost because they were either not competent or inexperienced.
But she could obviously tell him something about this world, so he would not let her go now.
"Miss, where are you going? I can go with you!"
"That's great! There are too many beasts on this mountain. I'm really scared!"
The girl agreed without hesitation.
Qin Haodong pulled her onto the back of the Three-legged Golden Toad, and then they flew to the west according to the girl's instruction.
A fifth-level beast was almost the ruler in this forest, so they didn't come across any other demonic beasts along the way.
The woman let go of Qin Haodong's arm and said, "I'm Zhao Xingyue. Thank you for your help. Can you tell me your name?"
"I'm Qin Haodong!"
Zhao Xingyue said, "Your clothes are so strange. I have never seen anyone wearing such clothes."
"My master made the clothes for me. I lived in the mountains with my master since I was a child, so I have never seen the outside world, and I don't know anything about the kind of clothes you are wearing."
"But my master passed away a few days ago and asked me to come out to gain some experience. I didn't expect to see such a beautiful girl here."
Qin Haodong made up a story to cover up his real identity.
Zhao Xingyue believed what he said and took out a set of man's clothes from her Storage Ring, "I was going to dress up as a man. But it seems that you need it more than I do!"
She stuffed the clothes into Qin Haodong's hands and then turned around.
Qin Haodong didn't want to look like a stranger in this world, so he immediately put on the robes. He had lived in the Cultivation World for 500 years, so it was not difficult for him to wear this kind of clothes.
Then he said, "Where is this place?"
"It seems that you know nothing," Zhao Xingyue said, "This is the Lingwu Continent, and now we are in Tortoise Country."
"Lingwu Continent? My master once mentioned that this is the Alien Demon Space and there were many Alien Demons. He told me to be careful. But where are they?" Qin Haodong asked.
"The Alien Demon Space? Are you sure?"
Zhao Xingyue was no longer nervous now. She giggled after hearing Qin Haodong's questions. She was a beautiful girl and the smile made her even more charming.
"I really don't know how many years you and your master have stayed in the mountains. The Alien Demons had been wiped out thousands of years ago. Now human beings are the rulers of this land."
Qin Haodong's guess was confirmed by Zhao Xingyue. He then asked, "What's going on? Can you tell me more details?"
"Well, anyway, we still have some time to travel. I'll tell you…"
Zhao Xingyue then gave him an overview of the Lingwu Continent. It turned out that it was called the Yin-yang Continent before. Half of it was full of Spiritual Qi, which was occupied by human beings and the other half was full of Devil Qi, which was the Alien Demons' land.
Humans could not survive in the land full of Devil Qi while the Alien Demons were not able to adapt to the Spiritual Qi, so they had been living together peacefully for years.
But five thousand years ago, the Yin-yang Continent suddenly changed. The Spiritual Qi was richer while and the Devil Qi became scarcer. So the places where the Alien Demons could live became smaller.
A thousand years ago, four Spiritual Springs suddenly appeared on this continent. The Spiritual Qi was unprecedentedly abundant while the Devil Qi almost disappeared totally. The Alien Demons had no space to live and were finally wiped out by human beings.
Since then, the Yin-yang Continent was renamed the Lingwu Continent and human beings on this land were locked in a tangled fight. In the end, people were divided into four countries based on the location of the four Spiritual Springs, which were the Dragon, the Tiger, the Rosefinch, and the Tortoise.
Where they were once ruled by the Alien Demons, it was now the Tortoise Country of the Lingwu Continent.
Qin Haodong nodded. It seemed that 5,000 years ago, the experts of the Alien Demons broke through the space barriers and came to the earth because their survival space was getting smaller.
But the space loophole was then sealed by Yellow Emperor and other ancient powerful masters. All the Alien Demons who were left here died.
Zhao Xingyue was a timid girl, but she was quite knowledgeable and answered all Qin Haodong's questions.
Finally, Qin Haodong asked, "My master has passed away, and I want to find a place to practice. Is there any good way to improve my cultivation quickly?"
"The best way to improve your cultivation is, of course, to go to the college," Zhao Xingcheng said excitedly. "There are four major colleges in the Lingwu Continent, and the Tortoise Academy is not far away.
"Today is the last day of enrollment. I'm going there to register and study. Why don't you come with me?"
"Go to the college?"
Qin Haodong hesitated.
Zhao Xingyue continued, "Well, all the resources of the Lingwu Continent are controlled by the college and the royal family. So going to college is your only choice if you're not a member of the royal family."
"In the college, you can learn the best cultivation methods, get the guidance of famous teachers, and enjoy abundant resources. All these are reserved only for the college students."
Qin Haodong was convinced. As Emperor Green-Wood in his previous life, he didn't need any guidance or method, but he was eager to get cultivation resources.
With these abundant resources, he would soon reach the Grand Completion Realm and open the space loophole again.
"Well, I'll go with you."
"That's great. I'd love the company."
Zhao Xingyun tried her best to persuade Qin Haodong to go to the Tortoise Academy with her because she just wanted someone to keep her company.
After a discussion, they flew together toward the Tortoise Academy. But it seemed that Zhao Xingyue was not sure how to get there. She took the wrong route several times. They finally saw the building of the Tortoise Academy after making several inquiries.
Qin Haodong was slightly surprised when they came to the Academy. No wonder this was one of the top academies in the Lingwu Continent. It was as huge as a small city.
They jumped off the toad's back and put it back into the Spirit Beast Pouch. Then they walked toward the gate together.
The gate of Tortoise Academy was magnificent, like a city gate in a period film. There were some tables by the front door, and there was a banner that said, "New Student Registration."
They walked over, and a middle-aged man who looked like a teacher asked enthusiastically, "Are you here to sign up?"
Qin Haodong glanced at the middle-aged man. This ordinary teacher of the Tortoise Academy had already reached the Voiding Realm.
He said, "Hello, we are here to sign up."
The middle-aged man said, "Welcome to the Tortoise Academy. Please pay the registration fee, one piece of top-level Spiritual Stone, before taking our test. You will be one of us if you pass the test."
"Why is the registration fee so expensive?"
Qin Haodong was confused. The Spirit Stones were the currency of the Cultivation World. But the problem was that he had already used the last top-level Spirit Stone.
Besides, it was too expensive to sign up. Though he had countless Huaxia currency and some other currencies in his Storage Ring, they were useless on this continent.
The middle-aged man said, "This is one of the four most famous colleges in the continent. One top-level Spirit Stone is quite cheap."
But the problem was that Qin Haodong had no spirit stones now.
He shook his head helplessly. It seemed that he could only ask Zhao Xingyue for help. Judging from her luxurious clothes, she must be from a rich family. She would not care about the registration fee.
However, just as he was about to speak, Zhao Xingyue said shyly, "Could you lend me 100 gold coins first? I'll pay you back."
"Well…"
Qin Haodong was dumbfounded. What was going on? Zhao Xingyue had no money either.
He turned around and said to the middle-aged man in embarrassment, "Sir, we don't have so much money. Can we sign up first and give you the money later?"
Hearing that they didn't have money, the middle-aged man said coldly. "You have to pay the registration fee before taking the test. This is our rule, and there's nothing I can do."
As expected, money was a necessity no matter where they were. Qin Haodong stepped aside with Zhao Xingyue and started to work out a plan.
He asked, "Aren't you here to sign up? Why didn't you bring any money?"
Zhao Xingyue was quite embarrassed, "I came out in a hurry, so I forgot to bring money. Please give me some and I'll pay you double the amount back."
Qin Haodong spread out his hands and said, "I came from the mountain and don't have a penny. I can't help you."
Zhao Xingyue said anxiously, "What should we do now? Today is the last day of the enrollment and we can only wait for another year if we can't do it today."
"We can't wait, let's think of a way."
Qin Haodong was eager to improve his cultivation to return to Earth as soon as possible. He didn't want to waste a day, let alone a year.
Although he had no top-level Spirit Stones, there were countless materials in his Storage Ring. Maybe he could sell some of them to gain gold coins.
Not far from the school gate was a business street, bustling with people.
At the corner of the street was a wine shop with a big sign on the door that read "Ten Miles of Incense".
The business of the wine shop was very good. People would go in to buy wine from time to time.
Qin Haodong walked over, and the fat boss immediately came up to him. "Do you want some wine? We have authentic wine here, and you can get one jar with just 100 top-level Spirit Stones.
"Please have a try. I'm sure you'll be satisfied with the wine."
The fat boss was good at doing business. As he spoke, he gave Qin Haodong and Zhao Xingyue two small cups filled with wine.
