#151 - Before the Secret Realm

Qin Buyi once again summoned Lan Wenhao.

Lan Wenhao was overjoyed to learn that all eight senior instructor areas would be available for their use.

Qin Buyi suggested, "If it weren't for Dean He Yan's repeated assistance, the eight senior instructor areas wouldn't have been merged into one."

"I propose that we give Dean He Yan fifteen percent of the net profit."

With Qin Buyi making the decision, Lan Wenhao would never refuse.

Moreover, as the head of the Lan family, Lan Wenhao understood the principle of sharing profits.

If one hoards all the benefits without even giving others the soup, the ending will not be good.

As the true decision-maker of the Great Ming Academy, if He Yan didn't allow the merger of the eight senior areas,

the Lan family would be helpless except for staring blankly.

Lan Wenhao said, "Everything will be arranged according to the Supreme Elder's instructions."

He Yan originally intended to refuse, but under Qin Buyi's warm invitation, he accepted the fifteen percent net profit.

At the same time, He Yan thought highly of Qin Buyi, thinking to himself:

"With unparalleled talent, strong combat power, and such a keen mind, this child will be extraordinary in the future."

He Yan taking this fifteen percent net profit was equivalent to being tied to the same boat as Qin Buyi and the others.

If anyone became jealous in the future and wanted to make trouble, they would not be able to get past him.

Outside the Great Ming Imperial City, at the entrance to the Golden Leopard Secret Realm.

At this time, the crowd was already densely packed. Qin Buyi spread out his divine sense and counted, there were more than ten thousand people.

As the leader of this secret realm expedition, Qin Buyi stood above the crowd, his voice resounding throughout the area:

"This secret realm will open in a quarter of an hour. After entering the secret realm, remember the following points."

"First, you must not harm your fellow students."

"Second, it is best to explore the secret realm in groups."

"Third, when you encounter real danger, crush the jade talisman in your hand, and senior instructors will naturally come to rescue you."

Speaking up to this point, Qin Buyi looked at Ying Le, who was beside him.

Ying Le, having received the instruction, stepped forward and continued:

"The ranking this time will be based on your gains and performance in the secret realm."

"Killing a Foundation Establishment realm demon beast is worth one point."

"Golden Core realm is ten points, Nascent Soul is fifty points, Transformation God is one hundred points."

"Refining Void is two hundred points, and Body Integration realm is five hundred points."

"The first-place reward is the choice of a Tribulation Transcending realm weapon, or to become a nominal disciple under one of our senior instructors."

"Being a nominal disciple does not mean you are truly accepted as a disciple, but rather a decision will be made after a year, based on your performance and character during that year, whether to truly accept you as a disciple."

"The second-place reward is a Body Integration realm complete weapon, and the choice of a senior instructor you admire to personally guide you for three months."

"The third-place reward is a Body Integration realm late-stage weapon, and personal guidance from a senior instructor for one month."

"The fourth-place reward is a Body Integration realm mid-stage weapon."

...

"The tenth-place reward is ten million low-grade spirit stones."

...

"The thirtieth-place reward is five million low-grade spirit stones."

...

"The one hundredth-place reward is one million low-grade spirit stones."

"After one hundredth place, there are no rewards."

After listening to Ying Le's words, the students below began to discuss.

Some had a look of desire in their eyes for the various rich rewards for the top one hundred.

Others were frustrated because their cultivation was insufficient to squeeze into the rankings.

At this time, a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old walked out from the crowd and asked Ying Le in a melodious voice, "Instructor Ying Le, if you get first place, can you become a nominal disciple under any senior instructor?"

Ying Le nodded and said, "Yes."

The girl continued to ask, "Is it also possible to become a nominal disciple under Instructor Qin Buyi?"

At this time, some noisy voices below, upon hearing the girl's question, suddenly quieted down.

If you were to say which senior instructor had the greatest impact and attraction for everyone, it would undoubtedly be Qin Buyi.

Qin Buyi's record of successively beheading three senior instructors at the beginning of his entry into the academy, and later suppressing five senior instructors with his own strength.

After the battle, he also triggered a tribulation lightning that broadened everyone's horizons...

You must know that Qin Buyi was still in the Body Integration realm and had not broken through to the Tribulation Transcending realm when he was in the limelight.

Now that he has broken through to the Tribulation Transcending realm, no one knows how powerful Qin Buyi is.

It can be said that Qin Buyi's light completely overshadowed the other five senior instructors.

If one could become a nominal disciple under such a person, even if they were not officially accepted after a year, what they learned would be enough to benefit them for a lifetime.

Of course, the most important thing is that in a year's time, as long as they perform well, even if they don't become a disciple of Qin Buyi in the end, the relationship between teacher and student would be enough to allow this person to rise steadily in the second half of their life.

Ying Le knew what the many students below were thinking, and said with certainty, "As long as you rank first, you can become a nominal disciple under Instructor Qin Buyi."

The girl's gaze followed Ying Le's words and landed on Qin Buyi.

Qin Buyi nodded slightly and said, "Instructor Ying Le is right."

Upon receiving Qin Buyi's confirmation, the girl's face lit up with joy and said, "Instructor Qin Buyi, your words count, I will definitely become a nominal disciple under your tutelage."

Qin Buyi used his Eye of Insight to look at the girl, whose cultivation was in the Transformation God realm.

Then Qin Buyi thought to himself, "What is going on?"

In the Eye of Insight, the girl's cultivation suddenly reached the Refining Void realm.

It didn't end at the Refining Void realm, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the Body Integration realm, and then fell back to the Transformation God realm again.

Seeing this scene, Qin Buyi's eyes showed some interest, and he thought to himself, "Interesting, this girl is unusual."

Regarding the changes in the girl's cultivation, Qin Buyi initially deduced that it was because she had a prop on her body that could hide her cultivation.

The grade of this prop for hiding cultivation should not be low. If Qin Buyi hadn't used the Eye of Insight, he probably wouldn't have discovered her secret.

For example, Ying Le and the others now have not seen the girl's true cultivation.

Seeing the girl so confident, the people below said, "Who is this? I've never seen her before."

"A mere Transformation God realm, and dare to make such bold statements."

"That's right, when is it your turn, a Transformation God realm, to speak?"

"Senior Brother Gu Jian's cultivation has already broken through to the Body Integration realm. If you, a Transformation God, can get first place, wouldn't it be a laughing stock?"

"Senior Sister Ling Yue also broke through to the Body Integration realm not long ago. I estimate that the first place will be either Senior Sister Ling Yue or Senior Brother Gu Jian."

"Looking at their goals, they probably all want to become nominal disciples under Instructor Qin Buyi."

"Hmph, it's not just these two who have broken through to the Body Integration realm. It's not yet known who will win, so don't speak too early."
