Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

"He seems to treat me pretty well!!!" Little Wu murmured to herself, a happy smile appearing on her delicate face.

Inside the jade box was the essence of a fairy herb. Having ten thousand years of experience, Little Wu naturally knew the preciousness of the fairy herb essence.

"Hmm? How could he have the essence of a fairy herb?" A serious question suddenly popped into Little Wu's mind. Little Wu didn't find it strange that Lin Chen had a fairy herb. With Lin Chen's abilities, obtaining a fairy herb was an easy task.

But what Lin Chen gave her was the essence of a fairy herb. The essence of a fairy herb only existed in the Douluo Continent ten thousand years later. Currently, the fairy herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had at most reached ten thousand years, and even their spiritual intelligence had not yet been born.

Thinking of this, Little Wu's eyes narrowed. The unknown was the most terrifying. Lin Chen's terror far exceeded her imagination. Recalling the words Lin Chen had said earlier, Little Wu felt even more terrified.

Lin Chen had read her memories and naturally knew the trajectory of history, but her understanding of Lin Chen was only superficial.

"I can't betray my master. I don't want to die!" This thought became extremely firm in Little Wu's heart.

In her opinion, as long as she behaved obediently, Lin Chen would not make things difficult for her. The truth was indeed so. Since being obedient, not only had her treatment improved, but even the fairy herb essence that others dreamed of was easily obtained by her. Having tasted the sweetness, Little Wu sighed softly and murmured, "In this life, everything I have belongs to Master!!!"

With that, Little Wu began to absorb the fairy herb essence in the jade box!

…

In the afternoon, the sky was clear, and there wasn't a cloud in sight. Lin Chen returned to the Douluo Continent early from the All-Laws Plane. The progress of monster grinding was much faster than Lin Chen had imagined. The demons in the Scorching Plains were endless, and their levels started at the War General level. After more than a month of persistence, Lin Chen had already harvested the resources needed for the next two years. However, Lin Chen didn't plan to go back. Grinding a little more was always good. Of course, there was no need to work as hard as before. Combining work and rest was the key.

In the Heaven Dou Empire, in Heaven Dou City, Lin Chen's figure appeared in the Heaven Enquiring Academy. After the reform, the current academy had a completely new look. The campus was filled with the atmosphere of youth. In name, Lin Chen was the honorary principal of the Heaven Enquiring Academy, but in reality, Lin Chen was a hands-off shopkeeper who did nothing.

In the early stages of the Heaven Enquiring Academy's establishment, there were already plans for the academy's future development. The Heaven Enquiring Academy only needed to develop step by step according to the previous plans. Due to the substantial increase in the number of students, the original teaching staff was obviously insufficient. The Heaven Enquiring Academy had to recruit teachers from outside. Fortunately, with Lin Chen's reputation, many commoner soul masters came to join.

In addition to external recruitment, Qian Renxue also took out some of the essence of fairy herbs to cultivate the teachers of the Heaven Enquiring Academy. The three education committee members of the original Heaven Dou Royal Academy were naturally among them. With the nourishment of the essence of fairy herbs, their origins were replenished, and their potential greatly increased. Before long, they would be able to advance to become Titled Douluos.

With the help of the essence of fairy herbs, there were now ten Soul Douluo-level teachers in the Heaven Enquiring Academy, thirty-seven Soul Sage-level teachers, and the number of Soul Emperor-level teachers had even exceeded one hundred. The only Titled Douluo in the Heaven Enquiring Academy was Dugu Bo. At Lin Chen's request, Dugu Bo served as the honorary principal of the Heaven Enquiring Academy. It could be said that today's Heaven Enquiring Academy, regardless of its scale or teaching staff, was one of the best among the various academies in the Douluo Continent. As long as it developed step by step, Lin Chen believed that before long, the Heaven Enquiring Academy would become the number one academy in the Douluo Continent, a cultivation holy land that everyone yearned for!

Of course, the current Heaven Enquiring Academy was definitely not as good as Shrek Academy ten thousand years later. After all, the Heaven Enquiring Academy lacked foundation, but for Lin Chen, these were not problems. The current Heaven Enquiring Academy was also divided into outer and inner courtyards. All students who cultivated in the inner courtyard could enjoy the best food supplements, training, and future soul ring absorption plans!

High-quality resources such as whale glue had been widely used in the inner courtyard. The daily diet of the inner courtyard students was the meat of those edible soul beasts. Hundred-year and thousand-year whale glue were added to their diets without the students' knowledge, allowing the inner courtyard students' physique to continuously improve subtly!

As for the most top-level cultivation resources such as the essence of fairy herbs, they were naturally reserved for their own people. As long as the inner courtyard students had excellent character, simple backgrounds, and a grateful heart, and were willing to serve the Heaven Dou Empire or the Heaven Enquiring Academy after graduation, they would have the opportunity to obtain the essence of fairy herbs.

The conditions in the outer courtyard were naturally not as good as those in the inner courtyard. The number of students in the entire outer courtyard reached two thousand. It was impossible for Lin Chen to take out so many resources, but the students didn't need to worry about their soul rings. Every month, teachers organized soul hunting. The academy also provided special care for those commoner students who had ordinary living conditions, worked hard, were self-reliant, and had good character.

In addition to waiving tuition fees, the Heaven Enquiring Academy also established an exclusive scholarship fund, so that they didn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and could wholeheartedly devote all their time to cultivation!

And the excellent conditions in the inner courtyard naturally couldn't be hidden from the eyes of the outer courtyard students. Therefore, the inner courtyard of the Heaven Enquiring Academy had become the goal of all outer courtyard students.

As a hands-off shopkeeper, Lin Chen was as relaxed as he had planned, but it was still necessary to show his face occasionally. A large number of commoner students in the Heaven Enquiring Academy applied to the Heaven Enquiring Academy because of Lin Chen. It could be said that Lin Chen was their idol!

Lin Chen selflessly made the Profound Heaven Treasure Record, which those nobles and sects regarded as treasures, public, so that all commoner soul masters were no longer confused about the future. It could be said that Lin Chen, with his own strength, elevated the entire Douluo Continent's cultivation civilization!

"Look… that's Teacher Lin!!!"

"That's right, it's Master Lin!!"

"Teacher Lin is here at the academy!!!"

"Ah… it's really Master Lin, my idol, I saw the real person today!!!"

The sudden shouts instantly caused Lin Chen, who was strolling around the academy, to be surrounded by hundreds of students.

The entire Heaven Enquiring Academy instantly became lively. In just a moment, the number of students surrounding Lin Chen reached a thousand.

Helpless, Lin Chen could only give the students some encouragement before teleporting away from the Heaven Enquiring Academy.
