Wu Lingyao once sent a message to Chen Yi, asking him why he hadn't left the school yet.
But Chen Yi simply said he had something to do.
"Why hasn't the certification officer for the Foundation Establishment Certificate arrived yet?" he asked, somewhat helplessly.
Did they get wind of this and dare not come?
To his surprise, Yu Qian sent another inquiry and gave him an address, saying that she knew his parents were not there and that if he had no place to take refuge, he could come here.
"Thank you!" he said to Yu Qian.
"You're too kind! As the president of the club, it's only natural that I have your back!"
Yes, Yu Qian founded a geomancy club on campus, and Chen Yi would go to see her whenever he was assigned to the geomancy club.
Although they only went to each other two days a week, this new layer of relationship had developed between them...
Chen Yi put away his phone and noticed that the dormitory supervisor hadn't left either.
He walked over and asked curiously, "Grandpa, why are you still here?"
"I have no children, where can I go?" the old man said frankly. "Besides, aren't there still people in this dormitory area who haven't left?"
Chen Yi touched his nose and said somewhat uncertainly, "Will the school really be safe by then?"
"Hehe!" The old man laughed. "If it really is a beast tide, there are few places in the entire Xiande that are safer than the school."
"Oh? Why?" Chen Yi asked, somewhat surprised.
The old man chuckled, “There are so many cultivation facilities in the school, the principal certainly won’t give them up for nothing. Some of the facilities are huge and can’t be taken away all at once, so he will definitely find a way to protect the school.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi simply nodded.
But in his heart, he thought the gatekeeper was being too optimistic.
There is no doubt that the school will do its utmost to ensure that campus losses are minimized.
But if it is truly the Demon Lord's anger, even if Principal Ma and all the Foundation Establishment stage teachers join forces, it will be to no avail.
Of course, this is not the front line.
The parts that actually come into contact with the Red Dragon Mountains should already have defensive lines in place.
The fear now is that when the beast tide truly arrives, those defenses will collapse like a flood, causing millions of people in the entire Xiande region to suffer.
Chen Yi bid farewell to the old man and walked through the campus.
"This area needs to be thoroughly checked!"
He could see some student volunteers and teachers staying on campus inspecting every corner of the campus.
Defensive artifacts and formations of all sizes can be seen everywhere.
"Anyone who wishes to stay at the school can come to the equipment room in the training ground to receive a high-grade defensive magic weapon and a number of pills! If they perform meritorious service in protecting the school, the magic weapon will be theirs to keep afterwards!"
The radio kept broadcasting this message.
"Alas! I never imagined that such a calamity would occur with only a month left before the Immortal Examination."
"I heard that those who make meritorious contributions to the Guardian Academy can accumulate battle merits in addition to magical artifacts and pills, and exchange them for rare cultivation techniques."
"Really? Principal Ma is that willing to spend money?"
"It's true, the board of directors has already said that if you have enough battle merits, you can even exchange them for Foundation Establishment stage cultivation techniques."
"Sigh! Just surviving is good enough, let alone wanting war merits? Is that something we should be thinking about?"
Chen Yi's ears perked up, and he took these words to heart.
"You can even exchange Foundation Establishment stage cultivation techniques? If you could use that to condense true spiritual energy, it would probably be enough..."
He didn't have much desire for so-called military achievements; he only hoped to get through this ordeal safely.
But if we could change our cultivation method, things would be different.
You should know that he has now collected all five foundation-building materials, but Iron Pear Blossom is still missing a metal-attribute cultivation technique to refine true spiritual energy.
The Nine Nether Grass, which had already been refined within his body, was only missing a wood-type cultivation technique to condense its true spiritual energy.
"Classmates, how are battle achievements recorded?" Chen Yi approached the two men who had just been talking and asked.
"A battle merit token! When you go to the martial arts arena to collect magical artifacts and pills, the instructors there will give you a token."
"Whenever a monster is killed during a beast tide, the token will automatically extract its demonic energy and record the battle merit."
One of them seemed to recognize Chen Yi and exclaimed in shock, "Senior, you, you are Chen Yi?"
Surprisingly, the current top genius didn't flee, but instead stayed at the school...
Chen Yi smiled slightly: "Not bad. Although you two are only in your second year of high school and your cultivation is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, you have stayed behind to guard the school. Your courage is commendable."
"We...we mainly have nowhere to go!"
"Yes! We all came from surrounding counties to be admitted to Xiande. If the school hadn't prohibited it, I would have brought my parents here."
"Me too. My dad is only a Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator, and my mom isn't even a Qi Refining cultivator..."
Hearing their words, Chen Yi comforted them, saying, "Don't worry, as long as the immortal virtue is maintained, the towns behind will hardly be affected. You two should not underestimate yourselves; focusing on cultivation is the most important thing!"
After saying this, he gave the two of them several talismans he had drawn himself, and then left.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Chen!"
After they realized what had happened, they were both very excited.
"I'll go get the token after I buy the Sky-Opening Stone," Chen Yi thought to himself.
Not long after, he met Gu Yueyuan outside.
“Oh dear! I don’t know if this rumor is true or not. Our Tianbao Pavilion has been moving supplies and evacuating these past two days…” Gu Yueyuan said.
Chen Yi didn't know if the beast tide would actually come, but it was better to be safe than sorry.
After accepting the spirit stone mine, Gu Yueyuan clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chen Yi and said, "After finishing this deal, I will be leaving Xiande. Be careful while you stay here. We'll meet again someday!"
"Until we meet again!" Chen Yi raised his hand to bid farewell to Gu Yueyuan.
......
After returning to school, he casually went to the training ground to pick up some things.
Some of the students who stayed at the school looked surprised when they saw Chen Yi.
In their view, such a prodigy should have left long ago.
Even if he has nowhere to go, many forces will extend invitations to him.
However, they were secretly encouraged after confirming that Chen Yi had received the token.
"With Chen Shen here, why is our morale so low?"
"Exactly! With Chen Yi here, isn't the school safer than those rich people's territories?"
......
In the spacious dormitory, Chen Yi placed the Hollow Stone on the forging table.
He then swung the hammer down on it.
The shape of the Pikong stone is not regular and beautiful, and its surface is covered with many impurities. It needs to be hammered to remove impurities and then shaped.
This hollow stone is about the size of a fist.
Because the space it creates is larger than a storage ring, even after the "Mysterious Female Beast Domain" is formed, it cannot be stored in a storage ring.
Therefore, Chen Yi decided to make it into the shape of a belt and wear it on his body.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
He hammered down one blow after another, seemingly chaotic, but each blow was perfectly timed.
The function of the "【Look at the Hammer】" entry is revealed. Many transparent threads appear in his eyes, like a mathematical model, with parameters constantly changing.
Each vector, with its kinetic energy clearly marked, meant Chen Yi only needed to swing the hammer; it was as simple as playing house...
"With this entry, the original loss of at least half of the Pi Kong Stone after hammering is now estimated to be only 10%, and almost all of that 10% is impurities..." Chen Yi said happily.
An hour later, a belt was completed.
Chen Yi inscribed a formation into the Pi Kong Stone.
"Buzz!"
The Realm of the Mysterious Female Beasts, open!
On a barren mineral layer, a circular array emitted light, continuously expanding the space.
Chen Yi's eyes gleamed: "The final step is to recall my two beast pets, bestow upon them talisman seeds, and send them into the Beast Domain..."
