Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

”The third thing isn’t a thing—it’s a person. An ignorant and fearless mad amateur who doesn’t know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is. He is the sole student of the Grand Desolate War Institution’s Refining Department.”

The bold, visionary words spoken by Li Yao back in Floating Spear City had long spread to Deep Sea University’s Refining Department.

Even though Jin Quan had already graduated, he had also heard the rumors.

As a refiner who walked out of Deep Sea University, he naturally possessed extremely deep sentiments towards his alma mater and was brimming full of pride towards the four words ”Holy Land of Refiners”.

Therefore, even though he hadn’t personally met Li Yao, Jin Quan was already filled with loathing towards this mad amateur who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.

As soon as he reiterated Li Yao’s bold and visionary words, every student became shocked.

”Way, way too egotistical, right?”

”He just got the top score in a city, it isn’t that amazing. There are many several thousands of major cities in the Federation!”

”He wants to challenge Deep Sea University’s Refining Department all by himself? That’s nothing more than a pipe dream!”

Everyone was a youngster with racing hot blood. They didn’t reject typical, lofty aspirations.

But looking at Li Yao’s declaration of war that seemed to break away from reality and juxtaposing it with unbearable, tragic scene of the Grand Desolate War Institution’s Refining Department, Li Yao was looking more like a gargantuan joke.

Jin Quan laughed:

”What do you think? Teacher Jin didn’t trick you guys, right?”

”A 1st Generation Tai’e crafting furnace still in operation, the remains of a crystal suit that resembles dregs, and add in an ignorant and fearless mad amateur to the mix. These are the three treasures of Grand Desolate War Institution’s Refining Department, the only ones of its existence with no others like it!”

The students nodded their heads over and over; however, there was one student who couldn’t help lamenting:

”Fortunately, we’ve seen it with our own eyes. Otherwise, what if we carelessly applied for the Grand Desolate War Institution’s Refining Department after getting a poor score? Then we would be screwed!”

Jin Quan laughed loudly:

”Everyone, go ahead and relax. Something like that would never ever happen. That is because the Refining Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution will already be abolished when you fill out the matriculation form!”

The floating mountain slowly descended in the corner of the ruins while Jin Quan was talking.

Ahead was the warehouse for dangerous goods that had been remodeled into a refining workshop.

Elder Yongming of the Empyrean Terminus Sect had arrived a step earlier; he was already at the entrance of the warehouse discussing scientific topics with Yuan Manqiu. The two chatted, radiating with delight; they were in high spirits.

Jin Quan coughed lightly, winked his eye, and laughed:

”Everyone, fellow students! I’m not that far in age from you all. I only said these words because I consider everyone to be a friend. If Elder Lei hears of this, then I’m screwed! No one will tattle on me, right?”

Everyone exchanged smiles when these words were spoken.

Quite a few boys shook their heads on the spot:

”Of course not. We’re good friends with little Teacher Jin, so how would someone leak out everyone’s private conversation?”

Jin Quan graduated from a famous school. This young lad grew up to be quite handsome, and he also had a lively nature. He was rather popular back in high school and was the target of adoration of quite a few high school students. They all took him to be a big brother, so they talked rather casually.

Jin Quan nodded his head and spoke a few more words:

”Fellow students, even though the Refining Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution is incomparably crappy, I estimate that their modified crafting furnace will be baffling as well.”

”Anyway, when truly meeting someone else face to face, you must still show a bit of respect. You must not, by all means, cause the Empyrean Terminus Sect to lose face.”

”Stifle anything that’s funny inside your stomachs for me. Wait until we’re on the way back to slowly have a good laugh. Don’t embarrass the host in their faces.”

”What’s more, this planned tour was still suggested by Elder Lei. If we really laugh on the spot, we wouldn’t be giving face to Elder Lei, right?”
