"Trust is built on actions, not words," Jason said calmly, his tone steady. "Human nature is complex and ever-changing. People often adapt their behavior to suit their circumstances, usually putting themselves first. I've traveled enough to see it firsthand—believe , the most dangerous creatures aren't the beasts in the wild but humans themselves, especially in places like this city."
He paused, letting his words sink in. "When humans gain power or wealth, greed often follows. For many, it becos a hunger that can't be satisfied, dragging them further into darkness until it consus them entirely."
Jason's gaze softened slightly as he addressed his listeners. "The fact that you've managed to stay true to your paths is admirable, but not everyone is that strong. It's far easier to fall into temptation than to resist it. So here's my advice: trust in yourself and guard your heart. The path of cultivation is long and isolating, and it's easy to be led astray by your own desires or doubts. In the end, strength is what truly matters—not honor, wealth, or fa. Those things are fleeting and often little more than distractions."
He chuckled quietly, a trace of amusent crossing his face. "Life has a way of teaching these lessons in the hardest of ways. I've learned mine. Hopefully, you'll learn yours before it's too late."
With his pupils growing wide and his expression looking a little blank, Ye Zong and others muttered to themselves over and over again, "The only thing that matters in this world is strength, everything else is just a delusion."
"Young master Nie Li has deep insight at such a young age making us old n ashad of ourselves." Ye Kai sighed, his voice filled with admiration.
Ye Zong nodded his head and said. "I'll arrange a place for young master Nie Li near the City Lord's mansion. This place is not suitable for you to live."
"Since you're so sincere, I'll let you. But please don't select sothing too flashy. Just sowhere comfy with enough space to conduct my classes."
"Then... you're not leaving Glory City?" Yang Xin's eyes sparkled with stars, very happy.
Jason nodded his head. "With all of you coming here to stop and so sincere in your apology, if I still be angry then it'll only make look stingy. Hahaha..."
Ye Kai nodded his head, his eyes held respect for him.
"Young master Nie Li, I still hope you'll co to the Holy Orchid Institute and take the classes inside the campus."
"Do you think I don't want to But with how young I'm, just my presence there will be enough to stir the entire Glory City. Sorry, I'm not interested in being the center of attention. I have already garnered enough attention. No more!" Jason waved his hand. "So, it's best to follow my arrangent."
"Okay," Ye Kai sighed and took a step back, agreeing with him.
"Oh yes. Little brother left these things." Yang Xin getting her chance took out the badge and robes, passing them to Jason.
Jason took them and placed them inside his interspatial ring before taking out a paper and writing sothing over it before passing it to Yang Xin.
"I want these herbs in a large batch."
"Leave it to ," Yang Xin took a look at the list of herbs and nodded her head, placing it into her interspatial ring.
After that, they shared a few more pleasantries before leaving one by one, leaving Jason alone.
Ye Zong had arranged for Ye Shuo to quickly find a suitable place for Jason. In two days, everything would be arranged. Also, the required data of the students should be gathered as quickly as possible.
Ye Kai also sent a ssage to Ye Shang to make a list of students according to the data provided by Ye Shuo.
If everything remained good, it would only take two weeks at most to finish every preparation.
As for Jason, he decided to relax in the anti. Helping the Inscription Association to finish all of their orders while giving suggestions to Gu Yan to improve the pills' quality and quantity. He even helped them solve many of their doubts.
Jason also delivered the formula of Soul Nurturing Pills and Soul Concentrating Pills in return for taking over 40% of the profit Alchemist Association would make by selling those pills.
Two weeks passed in a blink of an eye and Jason had even shifted to a large mansion, not as majestic as City Lord's mansion but still very eye-catching. It had quite a space to accommodate over fifty people easily with a decent training ground.
Ye Kai personally brought the list of students personally selected by him and Ye Sheng after careful consideration.
Taking a look at the list, Jason could see data of over two hundred children. The first na on the list belonged to Ye Ziyun.
Ye Ziyun
Family - Snow Wind
Soul Realm - Cyan
Soul Force - 52
Personality - Kind, Hardworking, Curious
It also included a few more things regarding their recent behavior, friends, and other things.
Jason carefully observed the list and took a pen, writing nas on a blank paper.
Ye Kai looked at the paper carefully, noticing that the daughter of the City Lord was included, releasing a sigh of relief. Worried that she might not be selected. She had specifically requested him to let her join his class.
So, Ye Kai had co here with that intention aside from bringing the list. If Jason hadn't selected her then he would have lowered herself and asked him to do that.
"Here," Jason finished after he wrote the 20th na before passing it to him. He said. "I need a favor."
"Please speak. If it's sothing in my power, I'll do it." Ye Kai cupped his hands.
"I've contemplated this matter for the past few days. I want you to leave my na on the student being admitted to the Holy Orchid Institute. Do the sa thing for my classes. And don't make it into a class but rather a club sort of thing."
"But why? Don't you want to not attract attention to you?" Ye Kai was puzzled by his request.
Jason sighed. "This mansion given to by City Lord has already made a center of attention. With many eyes watching this place, conducting classes here would be difficult. But it will also be a good thing if I select a place at Holy Orchid Institute."
"Then I'll make arrangents." Ye Kai nodded his head and left the place.
Jason closed his eyes and contacted DarkIce Netherbird via the soul connection. "How is the progress going?"
"My lord, forgive for being so slow. But I'll need so more ti. I had already ordered all the demon beasts all over the St. Ancestral Mountain range, relaying your order to them. We're searching all around nonstop with no result yet."
DarkIce Netherbird's voice appeared in his head.
"Speed up the process. Use aerial beasts to scout the faraway places, I want results as soon as possible."
"Yes, my lord."
Then the voice stopped as Jason opened his eyes. Summoning out a as thin as a cicada's wing, and was even a bit transparent with dense and difficult text written on it.
Looking over the page, Jason's eyes flashed with deep light. 'Just what kind of treasure is that Temporal Demon Spirit Book? Just a single page is filled with such mysterious power! Being able to bend the most mysterious laws of Ti and Space, I have to find it! It is a sha that I am unable to find it in those four years back then.'
Jason weaved a hand sign, cultivating peacefully with that remnant page hovering in front of him. Aside from the nourishnt of the remnant page and his passive skills, Jason hadn't put his mind on cultivation, rather he was using his ti to dive into the mysteries of Ti and Space, trying to comprehend one of the most difficult laws.
