'I'm afraid of death.'

Of course, I can't say what's in my heart.

Yan Zhe said seriously, "I simply believe that rather than relying solely on my own strength to fight on the battlefield, it would be better to utilize my natural talent for medicine to contribute more to the country. My strength alone won't change anything. Only by encouraging more people like me can the alliance escape the threat of ferocious beasts!"

These words were so righteous that Kuang She was speechless.

Although Kuang She did not believe that such a young man like Yan Zhe could have such a high level of awareness, he could not refute anything.

Lu Zhi, the director of the Animal Husbandry Department, said happily, "Well said! The Alliance needs people like you!"

"Haha, good, what a great young man!" Lin Bei said with a smile. "You have great talent. For students like you, Aoki University will provide the best resources to help you grow. If you have any requests, please let me know. I'll have someone approve a 20 million interest-free loan for you, and you can pay it back within 20 years after graduation."

"Thank you, Principal!" Yan Zhe liked down-to-earth people like himself, so he gave him 20 million as a gift as soon as they met.

Twenty million is actually not a lot, just ten thousand spirit crystals.

Using the resources of this world to train a spirit pet to the fifth level at a normal speed would cost about 10 million Alliance coins.

Of course, this is at normal speed.

If you want to improve quickly, the value of the resources you consume will have to double, or even multiply several times, with no upper limit.

High-level resources are very valuable.

Yan Zhe stated his long-planned request, "I want the exclusive use of a training room of at least Obsidian grade and a high-level magnet room. Of course, I want to use them while I'm in school. I promise I won't rent them out, I'll use them for myself."

"Okay, is there anything else?" Lin Bei agreed and asked.

Yan Zhe continued, "Access to the advanced paper library and free use of the laboratory."

Lin Bei nodded and said, "The paper library can give you access, but you must clearly state the use of all materials in the laboratory. This is a system regulation. Under this premise, you can use them at will."

"No problem, thank you for the school's support. I will definitely work hard to make more contributions." Yan Zhe said.

Lin Bei smiled and said, "Okay. However, you should continue your research, but don't slack off on improving your strength. There will be an academy exchange competition at the end of this semester, and I hope you can represent Aoki University in the competition."

"It is my honor to fight for the honor of the school!" Yan Zhe said solemnly.

After giving Yan Zhe a few words of encouragement, Lin Bei let him leave.

Kuang She curled his lips and said, "This kid is just pretending, he's so cunning!"

"Haha, there is no shortage of upright gentlemen in our school. Being cunning also has its advantages." Lu Zhi said.

He was still quite happy. After all, Yan Zhe was determined to stay in the Animal Husbandry Department. Luo Li from the Combat Department had been in the spotlight, and there were many who had been in the spotlight over the years. This time, the Animal Husbandry Department could also be in the spotlight.

After Yan Zhe left the office, he saw that three million had been deposited into his account, indicating the prize money from the last game had arrived.

The next morning, Yan Zhe received a loan of 20 million yuan from the school.

This money is equivalent to advance consumption.

After graduation, this number is just a drop in the bucket.

That afternoon, Yan Zhe got the access card to the school's Obsidian-level training room and the access card to the advanced magnetic room.

For the next period of time, his main goal was to practice.

The fifth level of Qi Refining, this small goal must be achieved as soon as possible.

Twenty-one days after the cross-level challenge competition, Yan Zhe successfully broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, and Daya was also promoted to the fourth level 4.

The effect of the obsidian-level training room was indeed very good, far exceeding the low-level spirit gathering array he had set up. The rich spiritual energy allowed him to complete his advancement.

In fact, the difficulty of advancement was higher than he had imagined.

Because he originally felt that under the effect of an ordinary spirit gathering array and with the help of Qi-nourishing pills, he could achieve a breakthrough after practicing for a month.

As a result, now he still has the help of the Qi-nourishing Pill. He first practiced in a normal environment for more than half a month, and then practiced in a training room with a higher concentration of spiritual energy for more than half a month before he broke through.

If I continue to practice in the original environment, it will take at least two more months.

It is conceivable how difficult it is for a cultivator to advance to a higher level in the spiritual energy-poor world of Nanli Country.

In this situation, Yan Zhe estimated that even with the help of elixirs and advanced spirit gathering arrays, it would take at least one or two years to advance from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the sixth level.

Speaking of which, it is easier to improve in the first three levels of Qi Refining.

Tang Guoer, a girl who started practicing Taoism not long ago, has now entered the third level of Qi Refining with the help of elixirs.

That is, the day before Yan Zhe broke through, she first moved from the second level of Qi Refining to the third level of Qi Refining.

The talents of those with three spiritual roots are indeed stronger.

After Yan Zhe initially merged with the Fire Scale Crow, whose bloodline level was only high-level extraordinary, although it was equivalent to having only one fire spiritual root, in terms of cultivation speed, it was about the same as the medium fire spiritual root talent in the four spiritual roots talent in the world of immortal cultivation.

After all, this is not Yan Zhe's own spiritual root, strictly speaking it is a 'pseudo spiritual root'.

After Da Ya absorbed some of the essence beads of the Jindan-stage rabbit demon, his bloodline level was upgraded. Through a simple assessment by the 'Beast Taming Watch', he reached the high-level lord level.

In a sense, Yan Zhe's spiritual talent was improved after the fusion.

The speed of cultivation is much faster, but it is still not comparable to Tang Guoer's three spiritual roots talent.

Judging from the affinity towards spiritual energy, there is still a small gap.

Tang Guoer has just entered the third level of Qi Refining. After she stabilizes for more than twenty days, she can start learning alchemy and then replace Yan Zhe to refine low-level pills. At the same time, Yan Zhe can focus on refining more advanced pills.

With school resources available, there is no reason not to use them.

There was no point in rushing the improvement from the fifth to the sixth level of Qi Refining. Yan Zhe decided to set aside a fixed time every day to practice and improve, and spend the rest of the time studying spells, beast taming knowledge, and alchemy.

Although the research on spiritual energy in this world started late, at least we have accumulated more than Yan Zhe, a rookie in the world of cultivation.

Moreover, the knowledge in this world is open and systematic, which helps him absorb it quickly.

The current goal is to find a suitable second spirit pet.

Generally, a Beastmaster will decide on the choice of the second pet before entering the fourth stage, and then quickly complete the contract with the second pet as soon as he enters the fourth stage so that he has more time to cultivate the second pet.

Because most spirit pets only specialize in one aspect, such as attack, defense or assistance, a growing beastmaster usually contracts at least three spirit pets. Each spirit pet must keep up with the beastmaster's improvement speed so that it can exert its maximum combat power.

Yan Zhe has only chosen his second pet now, which means he is already behind.

But he had the elixir, so he wasn't worried about upgrading his pet.
