Chapter 391 Preparing for the Trip to the Ancestral Land: An Uninvited Guest
Ao Hongchen laughed out loud, "I told you long ago that I couldn't hide it from you, but you insisted on trying."
Hong Jishi said, "You think I don't know? Xiao Chen, the ancestral land of the Genesis Academy is indeed opening soon. The dean is here, so he can tell you the details."
Jiang Chen had already guessed when he saw Yi Qianfan that the ancestral land should be opened soon.
Yi Qianfan said, "The ancestral site should open soon, and the list has been finalized long ago."
"Next, I will tell you what to pay attention to after entering the ancestral land."
"Wait a minute." Just as he was about to speak, Lin Zhenzi interrupted Yi Qianfan.
Everyone looked over in confusion.
Lin Zhenzi said, "Let Cai'er listen too."
As he spoke, he flicked a wisp of wind from his fingertip, which landed on Lin Cai'er.
Lin Cai'er, who was fast asleep, woke up by rubbing her eyes.
Seeing so many people, she jumped down with a "Yay!", her pretty face slightly flushed, a little embarrassed.
She gave Jiang Chen a reproachful look, as if to say that with so many people around, she didn't wake him up.
Yi Qianfan chuckled and then explained in detail the things he needed to pay attention to in the ancestral land of Genesis Academy.
The ancestral land of the Genesis Academy opens once every five years.
The number of slots available each time is very limited.
Genesis Academy has 10 spots, Dragon Academy and Flame Emperor Academy each have 3 spots. The Royal Family and the Military each have 2 spots.
Each of the major aristocratic families within the empire has one quota.
There are only 30 spots available in total.
Although Genesis Academy is ranked lower than Dragon Academy, many people still aspire to join it for the limited number of spots available.
However, this spot is extremely valuable, and countless eyes are watching it.
Even Hong Ki-seok cannot break the rules.
Although Hong Jishi is a god-level expert, he does not have a family, so he does not have a quota.
This is what led Jiang Chen to join the Genesis Academy.
Once Jiang Chen enters Genesis Academy, he's almost certain to secure a spot, given his abilities.
The Lin family also had a spot, which Lin Zhenzi decided to give directly to Lin Cai'er.
Lin Zhenzi truly doted on his granddaughter to the extreme, always considering Lin Cai'er first when it came to good things. "There are many creatures in the ancestral land. These creatures are not aggressive, and you must remember not to kill them."
"There are many fruit trees near the heart of the ancestral land. You can pick and eat the fruit there, and you should eat as much as you can."
Hearing that she could eat it, Lin Cai'er's eyes lit up. "I can handle this, I can eat a lot. Grandpa Yi, is that fruit tasty? I don't mind if it's sour, as long as it's not bitter."
Yi Qianfan laughed heartily, "The fruit shouldn't taste bad."
Jiang Chen had already sensed the hidden meaning in the fruit and continued to ask questions.
Yi Qianfan said, "Picking fruit to eat is one of the tests. How much you can eat depends on your own ability."
"But remember one thing: do your best, but don't force yourself."
"After eating the fruit, you will enter the second stage, the enlightenment stage."
"There will be some things inside that you will need to figure out on your own. What exactly you need to figure out will be different each time." "I can't explain it clearly here. You'll find out when the time comes."
"Most of them will be eliminated in this stage, and after passing this stage, the third stage will begin."
"There is not much information about the third stage. Based on past experience, it should be related to what we learned in the second stage."
"Those who passed through the second stage couldn't explain what happened in the third stage when they came back."
Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Why is this happening?"
Yi Qianfan shook his head, "At first we thought it was a problem with the memory, but after careful examination we found that the memory had not been tampered with."
"So this matter has remained a mystery."
It seems I'll have to go there myself to find out the specifics. Jiang Chen pondered for a moment before asking, "Dean Yi, please continue."
Yi Qianfan smiled and said, "No, very few people can pass the third stage, and those few who can pass the third stage can't explain anything about the fourth stage."
"However, one thing is certain: as long as you don't kill the animals and creatures that you encountered when you first entered the ancestral land, you will not be in danger within the ancestral land."
Jiang Chen remembered that he couldn't kill the animals he encountered when he first entered the ancestral land.
He glanced at Lin Cai'er and, seeing that the little girl was listening attentively, felt relieved.
Chao Yiqianfan sincerely thanked him, "Thank you, Dean Yi, I'll remember that."
Yi Qianfan stood up, not daring to accept the courtesy, "General Jiang, there's no need to be so polite. I feel guilty for destroying the dungeon and causing you to fall into the abyss. This time, I owe you such a great favor. If you have any orders in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Dean Yi, you're too kind. It was all the work of the Demon Worship Society; it has nothing to do with you."
Li Xueru and Hong Jishi have already investigated that matter thoroughly.
The Demon Worship Society had also infiltrated the military, but Jiang Chen was lucky to survive.
Not long ago, they thoroughly investigated the military and arrested and executed many people.
It stirred up quite a bit of trouble.
Yi Qianfan had to prepare for matters concerning the ancestral land, so he left first.
Lin Zhenzi glared at Jiang Chen, "Go to the ancestral land and protect Cai'er."
Jiang Chen said, "Don't worry, Elder Lin."
"Cai'er, come back with Grandpa and make some preparations."
Lin Cai'er said "oh" and reluctantly followed Lin Zhenzi away.
After Lin Zhenzi left, Hong Jishi and the other two stared at Jiang Chen meaningfully.
Even Li Xueru, unusually, opened his eyes. Jiang Chen felt extremely uncomfortable. "Teacher, is there something wrong with me?"
Hong Jishi said meaningfully, "You're quite bold, lad, daring to propose marriage to Old Man Lin."
Ao Hongchen chuckled, "It's only because Boss Lin is in a good mood now. If it were fifty years ago, he probably could have wiped you out with a single forbidden spell."
"No, with Cai'er by his side, Old Man Lin will surely restrain himself." Li Xueru's voice rang out softly, "Xiao Chen, is that what you think?"
Jiang Chen said, "I didn't think that much at the time. I saw that Elder Lin cared a lot about the Beast God's leg bone, and this idea suddenly popped into my head."
At the time, it was indeed a sudden idea that came to him, mainly because of Lin Zhenzi's reaction to the Beast God's leg bone.
Hong Jishi laughed and said, "Your reaction is good. The Beast God's Leg Bone is indeed a good thing, and Old Man Lin really needs it. However, the Beast God's Leg Bone is still not as good as the Divine Severed Finger you brought." Jiang Chen could also see that, compared to the Beast God's Leg Bone, the Divine Severed Finger contained a trace of life.
Although countless years have passed, the presence of flesh and blood has become even more abundant.
The key point is that the Beast God's leg bone was a bone that the Beast God replaced during its transformation, and strictly speaking, it was not a bone from after it became a god.
It falls short compared to the severed finger of a deity.
Since we already have the severed finger of a god, one of these is enough.
Then using the Beast God's leg bone to propose marriage would be perfect.
Jiang Chen asked, "Teacher, what have you learned from studying the severed finger of the deity?"
Hong Jishi grinned, and Jiang Chen knew from his expression that he must have gained something.
"It's good that we've gained something. It proves that the severed finger of the god wasn't useless." Hong Jishi said, "Go take a bath and change your clothes, make yourself clean."
Jiang Chen looked himself over and realized he wasn't dirty at all.
Although I had been playing dungeons for over ten days, I had changed my clothes during that time, so I was still quite clean and refreshed.
Compared to when I came back from the Corpse Realm, it was so much cleaner.
Ao Hongchen said, "You may not realize it yourself, but the aura around you is very mixed right now, containing the auras of various wild beasts from the dungeon."
"Take a good bath and change your clothes, meditate for a while, and get rid of all your distracting thoughts."
Li Xueru added, "The animal creatures in the ancestral land of the Genesis Academy are very sensitive and do not like chaotic atmospheres."
Jiang Chen understood. "This disciple understands."
Back at university, Jiang Chen went to his dormitory to shower and change, then sat on his bed to meditate. As his chaotic thoughts gradually subsided, his aura changed accordingly.
The chaotic atmosphere picked up from the dungeon is rapidly fading away, returning to its pure state.
Jiang Chen himself couldn't sense these auras, but since Hong Jishi and the others said they existed, they must exist.
The Domain Stone slowly rotated, absorbing all the faint traces of killing intent from Jiang Chen's body, leaving not a trace.
As I was meditating, the communicator on my wrist vibrated.
Jiang Chen looked at the communicator with a slightly puzzled expression. "Why did she send me a message?"
