Qin Qiang still had a smile on her face as she spoke,
"Previously, the Ten Great Colleges of Blue Star found several hundred Primordial Stones in the Kunlun Mountain Range, and I plan to give a few to the students who enter the Martial Vein Mountain this time.
You three, as long as you enter Martial Vein Mountain, I will personally take you as my disciples and give each of you at least one Primordial Stone. Moreover, my Wild Goose Heart Technique will also be imparted to you."
These words made not only Li Wanran and Lv Zi’s hearts pound fiercely, even Fang Chong was somewhat shocked.
They had only heard of Primordial Stones; the news had reported on them before.
The Ten Great Colleges of Blue Star, in partnership with the Martial Arts Alliance and the Genetic Alliance, had found hundreds of stones imbued with Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the Kunlun Mountain Range. These stones were also called Primordial Stones.
It was rumored that Dean Nong Yizhen of True Universe Academy had relied on such Primordial Stones to break through to the Innate Realm. Such Primordial Stones were the most suitable for both Martial Arts and Genetic Cultivation.
Lv Zi clenched his fists even tighter; such a thing, let alone a student like himself, not even teachers from the Ten Great Colleges of Blue Star might obtain it.
He felt that after entering the First Level as a gene cultivator, every time he cultivated during the Thousand Thread Gene Technique practice, it always seemed as if his strength was insufficient.
No, it wasn’t proper to say it was insufficient strength, rather, the Primordial Qi he absorbed during cultivation always felt inadequate.
If he had a Primordial Stone to help him, his chances of stepping into the Second Level as a gene cultivator would greatly increase.
If the Primordial Qi contained in the Primordial Stone was sufficient, then he could almost certainly step into the Second Level as a gene cultivator.
Li Wanran’s heart truly wavered. She was quite clear about the benefits of Primordial Stones.
Compared to Lv Zi and Fang Chong, she equally cared about the Wild Goose Formation.
The Wild Goose Formation was said to come from Emei Mountain, and was previously just an item with historical traces in the Emei Mountain Museum.
After the environmental changes in heaven and earth, this item suddenly became useful.
Because the Wild Goose Formation could be cultivated, and it was a very powerful light body cultivation technique.
As long as one could gather Inner Qi, the Wild Goose Formation could be cultivated.
She was now close to being a First Level gene cultivator, her Inner Qi growing every day.
If she could obtain the Wild Goose Formation, then her strength would soar, a significant leap upward.
She had seen Dean Nong Yizhen of the True Universe Academy elegantly gliding through the air on television; wasn’t that an astonishingly impressive sight?
Thinking of herself effortlessly gliding through the air, Li Wanran could no longer remain calm deep inside, and her heart began to beat much faster.
As if to prove what was on Li Wanran’s mind, Qin Qiang said again with a beaming smile, "Originally, Dean Nong Yizhen took the initiative to come to me, wanting to have a look at the Wild Goose Formation."
Such formidable aerial abilities of Dean Nong Yizhen, and he actually went to request to see the Wild Goose Formation?
Li Wanran took a deep breath and bowed to Qin Qiang, "Dean Qin, I am willing to join Martial Vein Mountain."
She was grateful for Master Ding Huan’s training, but in the depths of her heart, Master Ding Huan was just like all the other teachers who had instructed her, simply her academic mentors.
Since they were academic mentors, they did not oblige her to ruin her own future to do certain things. Moreover, in Li Wanran’s view, going to Martial Vein Mountain and respecting Master Ding Huan were not in conflict at all.
Deep down, Li Wanran was also convincing herself that what Ding Huan had taught her was the most valuable.
But, the time Ding Huan spent teaching her was the shortest among all her mentors, so short it was only three days.
She respected Master Ding Huan, but because Master Ding Huan’s teachings were more valuable, it didn’t mean she should place his status above her other mentors.
In terms of affection, she felt Master Ding Huan was no different from her other mentors in her heart.
Would she refuse her own future because of other mentors’ disagreement with Dean Qin?

The answer was obvious, she would not.
Seeing Li Wanran actually agree to join Martial Vein Mountain, Fang Chong was so angry he almost cursed.
He had been practicing with Li Wanran and Lv Zi for several months, and he didn’t know that Li Wanran, for a little favor, could forget Master Ding Huan’s hard work.
If he knew what was in Li Wanran’s heart, he would curse even more. How could these be the same?
One is to educate you just like any other student, which is also part of the teachers’ job—they rely on this for a living.
One is to painstakingly tailor-make Quality Gene Potions for you, which is not even part of what Master Ding needs to do. Master Ding wouldn’t have a problem if he didn’t do it, and you could equate that?
That’s not how you find an excuse.
"Wanran, you’ve made a very correct choice, and I am sure that you will be proud of your decision in the future," said Qin Qiang with satisfaction.
After speaking, she turned to Fang Chong and Lv Zi, "And you two?"
"Haha, I haven’t even gone to the academy to inquire yet, and Dean Qin you have personally come here to recruit students. This is truly a learning opportunity for us," interjected an abrupt voice, interrupting Qin Qiang’s question.
"Ah, it’s Vice Dean Zeng," Qin Qiang greeted politely, yet her tone no longer held the cordiality she had when addressing Fang Chong and the others.
With the sound, a long-haired man walked over.
"Vice Dean Zeng, we meet again." This time, Fang Chong quickly took the lead in greeting.
Qin Qiang addressed the person as Vice Dean Zeng, which clearly indicated that he also came from one of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges. Therefore, Fang Chong and the others hurriedly addressed him as the vice dean.
While greeting him orally, Fang Chong, Li Wanran, and Lv Zi were thinking to themselves that the actions of these deans were truly inscrutable.
Because they had seen this Vice Dean Zeng before, he was the long-haired man who had previously advised them not to join Martial Vein Mountain.
"You call me Vice Dean Zeng, but you probably don’t recognize me yet. Let me introduce myself. I come from the Guardians, and I am the Vice Dean Zeng Yi of the Guardians," said Zeng Yi with a smile.
All three students inwardly exclaimed that the Guardians were indeed the fourth-ranked entity among the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges.
Had it been before, how could the vice dean of the Guardians come here to waste words with them? Now, not only had he come to waste words, but this was also the second time.
"I am here for only one purpose, to invite you to join the Guardians to strive for the future of humanity.
Are you Lv Zi? Very good, ranked first in this assessment. If you go to the Guardians, I can apply to Dean Li to give you the chance to cultivate the Heart and Mind Mixed Element Skill."
Zeng Yi obviously only came for Lv Zi.
"Thank you, Dean Zeng. I am willing to join the Guardians," Lv Zi quickly responded.
Although Qin Qiang offered far more generous conditions than Zeng Yi, Qin Qiang was the one who had schemed against Mr. Ding Huan. Lv Zi was unwilling to study under such a woman.
He was certain that no one could lay such a deep foundation for him as Mr. Ding Huan had.
Perhaps without the Primordial Stone, his cultivation speed would be much slower, so what? Qin Qiang simply gave him a Primordial Stone, but what about after it was used up?
Being much slower did not mean no progress. Sooner or later, he would still step into the ranks of the Second Level gene cultivators.
Seeing that Lv Zi had chosen the Guardians even after she had promised such generous conditions, Qin Qiang’s face looked somewhat displeased.
Zeng Yi laughed heartily and turned to Fang Chong, saying, "You are Fang Chong, right? And you? Would you like to join our Guardians?"
Fang Chong said, "Thank you for your generous offer, Dean Zeng, but I intend to join Da Han Yi Academy."
This was the guidance given to him by Mr. Ding Huan. If Lv Zi and Li Wanran were willing to join Da Han Yi Academy with him, then nothing could be better.
Now it seemed that Li Wanran had joined Martial Vein Mountain, and Lv Zi had joined the Guardians.
He could understand why Lv Zi joined the Guardians, but he could not understand why Li Wanran joined Martial Vein Mountain and from the bottom of his heart, he despised this woman.
Ordinarily, when they cultivated together, Li Wanran had left a very good impression on him, just like her name suggested, gentle and humble, and she always deferred to him and Lv Zi in everything.
Indeed, one must not judge by appearances alone.
Fang Chong, are you really joining Da Han Yi Academy?" Li Wanran looked at Fang Chong with some shock.
She initially thought that Fang Chong was joking, but now she did not expect that Fang Chong was actually serious about joining Da Han Yi Academy.
Lv Zi was also incredulous, as Fang Chong had indeed mentioned wanting to join Da Han Yi Academy and had asked them if they wanted to go together.
Both Li Wanran and Lv Zi had just listened and hadn’t taken the matter seriously.
Now that Fang Chong had spoken in front of Qin Qiang and Zeng Yi, they had to take it seriously.
Da Han Yi Academy was certainly among the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges, and in the past, if they could enter Da Han Yi Academy, they would wake up laughing in their dreams.
However, Da Han Yi Academy ranked at the bottom among the Ten Great Colleges, which was different from Martial Vein Mountain.
Despite Martial Vein Mountain being ranked eighth, it had the ability to integrate the most advanced and top-level genetic potions globally.
This was because Martial Vein Mountain had a deep relationship with the Genetic Alliance.
In addition, Martial Vein Mountain’s Wild Goose Formation was globally famous.
Even so, Qin Qiang lured Li Wanran to join Martial Vein Mountain and took out a Primordial Stone and promised to teach the Wild Goose Formation.
Fang Chong actively sought to join Da Han Yi Academy without getting anything in return.
Fang Chong didn’t look at Li Wanran but instead patted Lv Zi on the shoulder, "Lv Zi, no matter what happens in the future, you must remember what Mr. Geng told us.
Man, this life goes by quickly, and one must have principles about what to do and what not to do."
After saying this, Fang Chong turned around and was about to leave.
Lv Zi immediately said, "Fang Chong, rest assured, I, Lv Zi, know what I’m doing."
He understood what Fang Chong meant, that is, Mr. Geng had told the three of them that one must be grateful in life.
No matter how far one goes, always remember who nurtured them. If a person is not grateful, they will always be looked down upon."
Li Wanran also understood Fang Chong’s meaning, and she felt somewhat aggrieved.
She wasn’t ungrateful. In her heart, she was very thankful to Mr. Ding Huan. What did that have to do with her joining Martial Vein Mountain?
