Chapter 1191:Transporting Across Tens of Thousands of Miles

When Vice Principal Lan Lingzi appeared, Feng Lingyuan, Li Hongyou, and the rest hurriedly took their leave. The sheer pressure felt from being in the presence of a King was nothing to scoff at, and they did not want to sit uncomfortably in the presence of a powerhouse.

"Vice Principal Lan Lingzi, I've been waiting for you for a few days now." Li Luo respectfully invited Lan Lingzi in and poured her a cup of tea.

"Were my requests approved by the college?"

Lan Lingzi rolled her eyes. "You brat, you have quite the appetite. Two Tree of Resonant Power Seeds and a Duke Art, Purgatory's Crimson Dragon Banner. On top of that, you asked for one portion of quasi ninth-grade and five portions of eighth-grade spirit liquids and purifying lights. Do you think that the Heavenly Origin Ancient College is a foolish spendthrift for you to slaughter?"

Indeed. Li Luo had taken the initiative to ask for more, but it was because he felt he had slaved arduously over the mobilization mission and even outperformed expectations.

Lan Lingzi angrily continued, "Do you know how angry Wu Yu was? He slammed the table and said your request was impossible. At most, you'd get one high-grade Tree of Resonant Power Seed and the Purgatory's Crimson Dragon Banner."

Li Luo cried out sadly, "I gave my life for the college! The fact that the college is so petty really saddens my heart."

Lan Lingzi ignored him. "Well, why don't we bring up the fact that the Principal gave you a strand of Worldly Source Energy? Do you know how precious that is?"

"The second high-grade Tree of Resonant Power Seed is actually for Astral Sage College. In a way, it's actually for Principal Pang. He shed blood for the college, and I hope that when we finally unseal him, he will be able to see a thriving college instead of one that is withered and dilapidated..." Li Luo looked a little pained as he spoke.

Alas, Lan Lingzi was an experienced fox, so she could easily tell that this brat was using Pang Qianyuan as a card to stir up her emotions. Even then, she could only sigh. "You brat, you're truly a scoundrel."

Jiang Qing'e spoke up for the first time at this juncture. "Vice Principal Lan, I've also made quite a few contributions on my end. Since the achievements of students in the ancient colleges are exchangeable, please add mine in. Is this sufficient to allow Li Luo to get what he needs?"

Since she was not planning to return to the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College any time soon, there was no point in retaining the credit she had earned and thus, she had decided to use it.

Lan Lingzi sighed. "I suppose that works. Your contributions will not be ignored by the college. When the Principal left, he specifically reiterated that. Thus, even if Wu Yu interferes, it will not work."

After which, she raised her hand and waved lightly. Several balls of light appeared, floating before Li Luo.

Each light scattered, revealing the objects within, and more light flooded the small room.

Li Luo hurriedly examined the objects. The first things he saw were two emerald saplings. They were slender, but there were ancient runes engraved on their bark. At the same time, they emanated a frightening amount of life force.

The saplings swayed constantly, giving one the sense that they were living beasts and not just plants.

Li Luo also sensed similar undulations similar to those from the Tree of Resonant Power.

These were clearly the high-grade Tree of Resonant Power Seeds.

Having one was a necessity for a sage college.

Li Luo was jubilant as one of the saplings would allow the Astral Sage College to retain its position. The other one would allow him to complete the Divine Cultivation Serum and obtain a true ninth-grade resonance.

Beside the saplings was a small, crimson banner. A crimson dragon could be seen swimming above it, radiating a burning sensation.

This was the Purgatory's Crimson Dragon Banner. Once cultivated, Li Luo would be able to wield the completed Three Dragons’ Heavenly Banner Canon. It was a Destiny-grade Duke Art, and it would serve as yet another trump card.

The last object were six bottles of spirit liquids and purifying lights. Li Luo was most focused on a specific bottle that seemed to contain starlight itself. This was because it was a quasi ninth-grade.

Although it was only a quasi ninth-grade, it was the first time Li Luo had laid eyes on a ninth-grade spirit liquid and purifying light. The energy that it gave off caused his three resonant palaces to quake as they desired it immensely. However, it was not for him, but for Li Hongyou. Her Crimson Heart Vermilion Fruit resonance did not possess much combat strength, but it had wondrous supportive effects. When they entered the Dragon's Fang Guardians, Li Hongyou would be of utmost importance and would play a major role.

Li Hongyou had said that her resonance was on the cusp of evolution after many years of consolidation and tempering. Unfortunately, her monetary situation was not ideal, making it difficult to obtain ninth-grade spirit liquids and purifying lights. Thus, she had yet to succeed. Now that Li Luo had the opportunity to do so, he had requested for it to see if it would assist with evolving Li Hongyou's resonance to the lower ninth-grade.

The remaining eighth-grade spirit liquids and purifying lights were for his own use.

He had originally wanted to ask for another Foundational Spirit Treasure for Jiang Qing'e, but he had been immediately rebuffed by Lan Lingzi. Was he trying to be funny? Could he imagine just what sort of precious treasure was required in order to be of use to Jiang Qing'e?

Li Luo's eyes blazed with happiness as he inspected the treasure before them. He gave a thumbs up to Lan Lingzi. "As expected of an ancient college! You're truly generous!"

This was met with a snort. "I've definitely treated you well. Wu Yu wanted to be the one distributing the rewards, and if he were here, he would’ve found all sorts of reasons to discount your contributions and rewards. Luckily, I rejected him."

Li Luo hurriedly nodded. Lan Lingzi had simply given him the rewards and had not bothered to bicker or cause trouble for him.

"Once I return to the Xia Kingdom, I'll definitely let Principal Pang know how much you've supported the Astral Sage College!" Li Luo grinned. At the same time, he prayed in his heart.

"Vice Principal Su Xin, you can't blame me for doing this! I'm simply doing what's best for the college!"

"Who cares about him? That old man is simply asking for trouble," Lan Lingzi indifferently replied.

Li Luo couldn't discern just what was going on between them and thus, he hurriedly changed the topic yet again and asked, "Vice Principal Lan Lingzi, how can I send this high-grade Tree of Resonant Power sapling to the Xia Kingdom?"

The Xia Kingdom was very far away. If he were to take a flying ship, it would take months to get there, and he didn't have the time to spare. If he sent someone to deliver it, who knew what would happen, considering how precious it was. After all, it could ruin the Astral Sage College's hopes of revival.

"If it's just sending a sapling, that's relatively simple," Lan Lingzi replied.

With that, she waved her hand, and her resonant power wrapped around the two of them and carried them through the void. A moment later, Li Luo realized that he was atop the Heavenly Origin Ancient College's Tree of Resonant Power.

There was a wooden altar with a burning piece of sandalwood nearby.

"This Ancient Progenitor Tree is connected to the college's Tree of Resonant Power. The Tree of Resonant Power sapling comes from the same source, so it can naturally tap on this link and arrive in any location that has a Tree of Resonant Power."

Hearing this made Li Luo excited. The Astral Sage College was currently situated in the City of Southwind's Southwind Academy, which had a low-grade Tree of Resonant Power.

This would indeed be convenient, and he would not have to worry about the object being lost.

"I will have to trouble you with this, Vice Principal Lan Lingzi."

She waved him off before replying, "When I send the sapling over, I can also send a message. Do you want to say anything?"

Li Luo was a little taken back. Damn, this transportation service was a little too amazing. It even came with a free message!

He pondered briefly before replying, "Please tell them this: ‘My Astral Sage College friends, await my return. I will definitely lead you to reclaim the Xia Kingdom.’"

After thinking for a bit more, a smirk appeared on his face. "Wait, there's one more thing... ‘Yu Lang, I've accidentally stepped into the Greater Heavenly Resonance Tier.’"
