Chapter 233: Cultivation Secret Realm

Chapter 233 Cultivation Secret Realm

What Li Wei wanted most right now was to lift the curse.

Seven Curses, yet only one had taken effect so far.

It already caused him considerable inconvenience.

With a few more curses, he feared every step would be arduous.

To lift the curse, he must go to the Temple of Light.

Within Storm City stands a Temple of Light.

Li Wei seemed to have two choices, but in truth, he had none.

With his current strength, daring to cross sixteen hundred li to Storm City, he would be eaten halfway without a bone left.

Even if incredibly lucky and encountering no demonic beasts.

The various dangerous environments along the way would be enough to give Li Wei a hard time.

Most importantly, sixteen hundred li was too far.

Without a guiding method, setting off rashly, deviating slightly in direction, and he would end up flying to the ends of the earth.

Li Wei's only choice was to use the Element Tower's teleportation array to head to Storm City.

Fortunately, he was not far from advancing to a Tier Three Mage.

If the distance to advancement was still half a year away, he could not wait until after advancing to go to Storm City.

He would rather take a risk and try.

The longer the delay, the greater the threat posed by the curse.

Returned to Zogwarran's estate.

Li Wei downed a bottle of intermediate magic potion.

Focusing his spirit, calming his breath, meditating and cultivating.

[Crystal Meditation Method (Tier 2)] 9546/10000

At most half a month, and Li Wei could cultivate to Tier Two completion.

By then, he could plan the awakening affairs and break through to Tier Three.

This time was just right to acquire credits.

The next day, Li Wei arrived at the Red Class classroom.

It was rare to see the "God of Sleep" teacher Sean arrive at the classroom so early.

Seeing him come so early, everyone showed expressions of surprise.

Afterwards, someone thought of something, and the surprise on their faces turned to delight.

Bruce asked, "Teacher, does today belong to us to use the Cultivation Secret Realm?"

Sean nodded, "Mm, get ready, we set off immediately."

Hearing this, Li Wei wore a face full of confusion.

He curiously asked, "What is the Cultivation Secret Realm?"

Bruce glanced at him and kindly explained, "Cultivating within the Cultivation Secret Realm yields twice the result with half the effort; cultivation speed can increase several times."

"We Red Class students can use the Cultivation Secret Realm for one day each month, while Purple Class students can use it for half a month each month..."

Speaking of this, his face was full of envy.

They were already unable to compare with them, yet their cultivation resources were even superior.

The gap between them was stretched even wider.

After hearing the explanation, Li Wei felt some expectation.

Soon, the Red Class students also gathered, led by Sean towards the Cultivation Secret Realm.

Li Wei looked around and realized the Red Class originally had over forty people.

Yesterday he had seen fewer than ten people in the class.

Normally, others either ran to other classes to sit in on lessons, or cultivated and studied outside on their own.

Anyway, even if they came to the class, Sean would not lecture, letting students study themselves.

Ask if you do not understand.

Over time, not many people were willing to stay in the classroom to study.

Each had their own destinations.

It was only because today was a cultivation day that so many people gathered.

The Cultivation Secret Realm was located on the Secret Realm Plaza.

When Li Wei took the entrance exam, it was also at the Secret Realm Plaza.

Standing on the Secret Realm Plaza were more than ten spatial gates, all leading to the Secret Realms controlled by the Element Tower.

Every Secret Realm had a unique function.

From the number of Secret Realms, one could see the Element Tower's profound foundation.

When a temporary Secret Realm appeared outside Maple Leaf City, all sides fought until their heads bled.

Yet the Element Tower possessed over a dozen permanent Secret Realms.

Sean led everyone to the Cultivation Secret Realm teleportation gate.

He took out his Instructor Badge to activate the Secret Realm teleportation gate.

"Alright, you may enter."

Having spoken, he stepped into the Secret Realm first.

He was the Red Class instructor, naturally qualifying to use the Secret Realm for one day of cultivation. The Cultivation Secret Realm was not only open to students, but also to the Element Tower's instructors.

After Sean walked into the Secret Realm, Li Wei found no one following him in.

Just as he was puzzled, a group of people walked over from the side.

On these people's mage robes were embroidered yellow or green stars.

Indicating they were Yellow Class or Green Class students.

These people blocked in front of the Secret Realm teleportation gate, looking arrogantly at everyone.

Someone from the Red Class ran out, spoke a few words with them, then turned and shouted loudly to the crowd.

"Senior students from the Green Class are willing to spend one hundred gold coins to buy today's cultivation day; who is willing to sell?"

Shouted twice, no one responded.

"Don't refuse the toast only to drink the penalty wine; considering we are all Element Tower students, we give you money, otherwise using your cultivation day would still be giving you face."

"Will you sell or not?"

The lackey grabbed a scrawny mage from the crowd and asked directly.

“No… I won’t sell.”

The man replied with visible fear.

“Are you certain you won’t sell?”

The lackey’s face darkened with menace, issuing a direct threat.

The man looked at the aggressive “senior” looming before him.

He involuntarily turned to glance at the crowd behind.

A desperate plea shone in his eyes.

Yet no one met his gaze; all kept their heads bowed, praying not to be chosen.

It was customary; each time, the one-day cultivation slot of the Red Class was snatched away.

Only students with powerful backers escaped trouble.

The scrawny man lowered his head helplessly and said, “I’ll sell.”

“Hmph! Why not speak sooner? You forced my hand.”

“Take it. This is the benefit the senior bestows upon you.”

Holding the pouch containing one hundred gold coins, the scrawny man wore a bitter expression.

What manner of benefit was this?

Though one hundred gold coins was no small sum.

It could not compare to the true value of a day of cultivation.

He was unwilling, yet refusal meant suffering humiliation.

Clutching the pouch, the scrawny man turned away, humbled and disheveled.

His eyes held a trace of resentment toward his fellow students.

Resenting that none had stood up to help.

Had they united, how would these bullies have dared?

A forced transaction unfolded right before Li Wei’s eyes.

To refuse the forced trade was to invite future retribution.

Those selected accepted their misfortune, taking the hundred gold coins and departing.

At least they were not robbed and sent away empty-handed.

Trading a cultivation slot and outright theft were two distinct concepts.

The latter violated the Element Tower’s regulations and invited punishment from the Disciplinary Committee.

The former was deemed a voluntary act by the students.

Even if coerced, nominally, it was beyond reproach.

“One slot remains.”

The lackey scanned the crowd, his gaze sliding past familiar faces.

He avoided offending those with strong connections.

Spotting Li Wei, his eyes brightened.

He hadn’t expected another new student here.

Newcomers assigned to the Red Class like Li Wei were all First-Tier Mages in the First-Year Red Class.

In the Second-Year Red Class, Li Wei was the sole newcomer recently.

Typically, fresh arrivals possessed no patrons.

A newcomer relegated to the Red Class was likely no formidable character.

Without hesitation, the lackey pointed a finger at Li Wei.

“Come here. Take this money and leave.”

“The senior purchasing your cultivation day is your fortune; one hundred gold coins is substantial!”

“Hurry, take the money and go.”
