As it turns out, reading books doesn't solve the problem for underachieving students.

With so many books on the shelves, she didn't even know which one she should read. She spent two days in Shang Yanting's study, but gained no new knowledge.

Reading is definitely not her forte; socializing is.

"Moshi moshi, is Senior Li Ji here?"

On the other side of the sea, upon hearing this voice, Li Ji paused, took out a long-distance communication talisman, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Senior Li Ji, I have a question for you."

Jia Xitong sat in Shang Yanting's usual reading seat, with two Heart Sutras she couldn't understand propped up under her bottom. "Do you know any typical wood-type and water-type magical artifacts or rare treasures?"

"Wood-type and water-type magical artifacts and rare treasures?"

The person on the other end repeated what she had said.

Human beings are divided into five systems, and so are magical artifacts and rare treasures in the world.

However, this method of classification is from a long time ago. Later, the five great magic gods of martial arts, talismans, formations, artifacts, and medicine appeared, and the classification of cultivation changed from five systems to five gates. Nowadays, people only use the five systems to test one's foundation, and the five systems of magical artifacts are rarely paid attention to now.

You don't know either?

Seeing that the other person was silent, Jia Xitong quickly continued to ask questions.

Senior Li Ji is a well-read and learned man; if he doesn't know... she'll just ask someone else.

"Yimeng Academy seems to have a wood-type magic weapon."

Before Jia Xitong could look for someone else, Li Ji provided the information: "Yimeng Academy has a Cloud Tower, inside which is a rare and precious material called Dragon Cloud Root, which has no grade. This is an extremely pure wood-type rare and precious material, an uncarved material for magical artifacts."

really!

It's better to ask someone who has already read ten thousand books than to read ten thousand books yourself.

"Is Cloud Tower similar to Treasure Pavilion? How much would it cost to buy this?"

The raccoon suddenly sat up and asked excitedly.

If it's particularly expensive, she'll have Boss Liang organize an auction and sell off all the Thousand Mile Transmission Talismans she's accumulated.

"The Cloud Tower isn't a place to buy things; it's similar to the Beast Condensation Tower at Dingtian Academy. The battles between magical beasts inside are a major attraction. If you want to get this item, you need to enter the Cloud Tower and achieve the corresponding ranking."

Every quarter, the Cloud Tower hosts a Beast Fighting Tournament. The top three beasts can each choose a corresponding treasure at the Cloud Tower.

After recounting the story of Cloud Tower, Li Ji changed the subject, "However, I don't recommend taking such a risk for a wood-type rare treasure. Cloud Tower has turned beast fighting into a legitimate business, and countless magical beasts die in it every year."

He had strongly opposed such things when he was at Yimeng College.

"Don't you still have dragon bones?"

He said softly, "Dragon bones are the best materials for refining weapons. There is no need to take such a great risk for the sake of Dragon Cloud Root."

"Okay, I understand!"

Did the raccoon really know?

No, she only heard Long Yungeng say, "At the Cloud Tower of Yimeng Academy, go get it quickly!"

Indeed, people can only hear what they want to hear.

After ending her call with Li Ji, Jia Xitong used a communication talisman to summon Huo Rui, Niu Chuanchuan, and the remaining senior students, and announced her plan to go to Yimeng Academy.

Soon, Huo Rui gathered information about the Cloud Tower.

"The Warcraft Battle at Cloud Tower can be participated in by people both inside and outside the academy, but those from outside the academy must participate in groups."

Huo Rui, holding the intelligence gathered by his subordinates, said, "If Xi Tong wants to go, he must first gather five magical beasts to form a group."

Five Warcraft?

They now have Iron Egg Flower, Little Gray Gray, Fortune, Giant Stone Rhinoceros, and Toad Treasure from Niu Chuan Chuan.

Iron Egg Flower definitely can't go because she needs to refine pills, but she can fill in for her.

All told, there are exactly five.

Besides the monsters, their owners also have to go.

Lai Ge Bao is Niu Niu's magical beast, so of course he has to go. Besides him, the eldest brother, second brother, tenth brother, and eleventh brother successfully obtained the mission for this business trip.

After everyone discussed it, we packed up and got ready to leave tomorrow.

I'm leaving soon.

Shang Yanting is still lying in bed with his eyes closed, and it is unknown when he will wake up.

Jia Xitong rummaged through her small bag for a while, took out the last Yuan Chu Tai Yi Pill from her pocket, pried open Shang Yanting's mouth, and stuffed the pill into his mouth.

"Dear host, this is the last Primordial Taiyi Pill."

"But don't worry, Tie Danhua and Senior Brother Nineteen are already refining a new one."

"Although Senior Brother Nineteen is a bit clumsy and almost blew up the high-grade alchemy furnace that Aunt Haifeng gave him, he should still be able to refine pills. Then you'll have new Primordial Taiyi Pills to eat!"

"I'm going to Yimeng Academy tomorrow with my senior brothers and Niu Niu to snatch wood-type rare treasures. Once our Zhou Tian Star Formation is successful, we won't be afraid of anyone..."

The person in bed was still asleep, and only the raccoon was chattering away beside them.

She thought she had no audience, but in another distant world, different people with the same faces were looking at her with cold eyes.

A monster that talks a lot.

Weak, stupid, and useless, yet unexpectedly kind to the version of herself in the illusion.

But he himself was living such a miserable life, so why did the other self in the illusion have so many people taking care of him and showing concern for him, and even an animal was so loyal to him?

If Shang Yanting in the original novel saw all this, would he be moved?

Won't!

He felt only disgust and nausea.

All the beauty is illusory, all the dreamlike illusions are innocent.

Huo Rui should have died long ago at the Gu Liang clan's place; Niu Chuanchuan is a useless person lying in a hospital bed; the disciples of Qing Shuang Peak should be depressed; and Hu Changxiu is destined to wander around.

He himself should not be the dean of Dingtian Academy in the martial arts realm, a hero who wipes out demonic cultivators; instead, he should be the demonic cultivator lord hated by martial arts cultivators, feared by demonic cultivators, and feared by everyone!

In the original story, Shang Yanting looked at the illusion, and black demonic energy emanated from his body.

I really want to find this monster... and strangle it with one blow!

Achoo, achoo!

Jia Xitong sneezed twice in a row, her head shaking several times, interrupting her outpouring of her feelings to Shang Yanting.

"Dear host, I haven't been by your side lately, please take good care of yourself."

She took out a somewhat broken wooden statue from her bosom. "Don't be afraid, my master will protect you!"

After saying that, she pouted and gave Shang Yanting a quick kiss on the side of his sleeping face.

Looking at the original author Shang Yanting of "Illusion" at this moment: ...I want to strangle it even more.
