From what Qin Feng knew, all Trial Takers who failed the Snowfield Trial would face the sa situation as the eliminated candidates. They would need to complete manual labor to accumulate Points.
To enroll in any of the many courses offered by All Stars Academy, one needed Contribution Points.
And that wasn’t even considering the courses themselves.
There were also room and board fees. Based on what Qin Feng had learned over the past few days, All Stars Academy did not provide free accommodations. The cost was about five Points per year.
No credit or late paynts were allowed.
There were nurous other expenses as well. If you wanted better food and lodging, or to purchase Secret Manuals and Spirit dicine, you had to pay for it yourself with Points.
Items like Gold and Silver were completely useless here.
However, All Stars Academy did have a Contribution Hall. There, one could pawn Spirit dicine, Cultivation Techniques, Elixirs, and Divine Weapons to exchange for Contribution Points.
Few people were willing to do this. Most only used their Contribution Points to exchange for Spirit dicine, Cultivation Techniques, and Secret Manuals.
It was rare for soone to do the opposite—to trade their own secret family techniques for Contribution Points.
Five Points might not seem like much to many upperclassn at All Stars Academy, but to the new students, especially the penniless Indentured Servants, it was an astronomical sum.
Therefore, they had to choose a chore from the Miscellaneous Affairs Courtyard as soon as possible.
All Stars Academy was vast and influential, far more than just a simple super-academy.
All Stars Academy owned nurous enterprises.
For instance, there were its vast dicine Gardens, dicine Mountain, the Spirit Beast Pavilion, the Tutu Institute, the Profound Lady Hall, Artisan God Street, and so on.
Most students would choose to enter one of these places to earn Points. For example, a dicine Boy gathering herbs on dicine Mountain could earn ten Points a month just by completing their assigned tasks.
If they gathered a potent spirit dicine, there were even extra Point rewards. And if they found a High Level Spirit dicine, they might even catch the eye of so big shot on dicine Mountain and be taken in as a disciple.
This was manual labor, but it was also a form of Cultivation.
Entering dicine Mountain and becoming a dicine Boy didn’t an you were performing a lowly trade and couldn’t practice Cultivation. On the contrary, dicine Mountain had its own thods of Cultivation.
Qin Feng had made a point of learning about these places.
For example, the dicine Garden was a place for cultivating Spirit dicine. Upon entering, one first had to cultivate the Little Cloud Rain Technique.
The Little Cloud Rain Technique was a Water Attribute Spirit Martial Level Cultivation Technique. So Spirit dicines couldn’t be irrigated with ordinary rainwater; they had to be nourished by the Water Attribute True Qi cultivated through this technique.
There was also the Geng tal Breaking Killing Technique.
The Geng tal Breaking Killing Technique was also a High Tier, Spirit Martial Level Cultivation Technique. The dicine Garden’s dicine Boys were required to cultivate this Martial Skill to the Ninth Layer.
Many Spirit dicines were prone to attracting Exotic Insects, which could only be killed with the Geng tal Breaking Killing Technique.
If one could achieve Great Success in these two Secret Techniques, their power would be terrifying. It was rumored that dicine Mountain even had advanced cultivation thods for both techniques.
They were a direct path to the True Inheritance Gate.
High Tier dicine Boys were highly sought-after.
Qin Feng had heard that they could earn as much as a hundred Points a month.
Each of the other places had its own secrets. This wasn’t just manual labor; from the mont one entered, their Cultivation had already begun.
Achieving Great Success in any of these Secret Techniques would bring unexpected benefits.
So, in his heart, even though he was now an Elder of All Stars Academy, Qin Feng never looked down on any of its disciples.
As an Elder, he didn’t have to do any manual labor, but Qin Feng knew he also had to choose a destination.
However, unlike the other students who started from the bottom doing manual labor...
...Qin Feng and the other Elders would start from the middle. The mont they entered, they would be Inner Sect Disciples.
...
"Brother Qin!" As Qin Feng passed by Li Zhuang, the young man looked at the black-robed youth with excitent.
Yu Yao also walked up, her expression complicated.
She never would have imagined that Qin Feng would actually win the title of Elder Cyan Dragon.
anwhile, she, like all the other eliminated candidates, would be entering the "Indentured Servant" mode. She wouldn’t be able to escape this awkward situation for the next year, or even several years.
She had to work hard to accumulate Contribution Points while also completing the academy’s Point-based assessnts.
A day earlier, Yu Yao had already chosen her placent in the Miscellaneous Affairs Courtyard.
There weren’t many places for the young won to choose from. A few days ago, Yu Yao had sought out Qin Feng and told him they had chosen to join the Profound Lady Hall.
The Profound Lady Hall was responsible for needlework and weaving.
They didn’t embroider ordinary clothes there, but precious Spiritual Garnts. Only young won with exceptional needlework skills had a chance to enter.
For a young woman who had just entered All Stars Academy, this was an excellent choice.
From what Qin Feng knew, entering the Profound Lady Hall allowed one to learn Secret Techniques like the Celestial Maiden Thirteen Needles and the Ten Thousand Flowers Divine Sword Technique.
Li Zhuang had joined the Tutu Institute. The Tutu Institute was an affiliate of the academy’s cafeteria, responsible for butchering Fierce Beasts and Barbaric Beasts. It was considered a departnt with quite a few perks.
According to the rules, a "three-nothings" kid like Li Zhuang—no background, no connections, and no tribute to offer—shouldn’t have been able to get in.
Qin Feng had personally helped arrange Li Zhuang’s placent. As an Elder, the senior students in charge of the Tutu Institute gave him so face, allowing Li Zhuang to get in smoothly.
Yu Hong and Zou Yuxian were lucky enough to enter dicine Mountain, becoming dicine Boys who gathered Spirit dicine.
As for Qin Tianjiao and Xu Fei, they had quite a bit of friction with Qin Feng. He had been keeping an eye on them for the past few days, using the connections he’d built among the senior students to have them ’take good care’ of the pair.
As a result, Qin Tianjiao and Xu Fei still had no placent.
At this mont, their faces were grim. They were clearly aware of their precarious situation, their hearts heavy with worry. The looks they gave Qin Feng were now filled with confusion, no longer as defiant as before.
Du Pingxia’s placent was also decided. As the elite disciple who ranked sixth in this year’s Snowfield Trial, Du Pingxia could freely choose his destination.
Du Pingxia chose to go to dicine Mountain. However, unlike the others, he entered dicine Mountain with the status of a regular disciple, not as a nial worker.
As a disciple of dicine Mountain, Du Pingxia’s benefits and treatnt were naturally far beyond what an ordinary dicine Boy could compare to.
This was the privilege of students who had officially passed the Snowfield Trial and obtained the status of an elite disciple.
Lû Chunyang went to Artisan God Valley. With his Sun Fire, he would be of greater use in a place like that.
Lû Chunyang had ranked eighth in this year’s trial and was also an elite disciple who had officially passed the Snowfield Trial. Naturally, he also received the treatnt of an Artisan God Valley disciple upon entry and didn’t have to be a Craftsman Child.
The welcoming ceremony, filled with the passionate speeches of several powerful figures from All Stars Academy, seed to drag on forever.
The Four Great Academies and the Four Great Elders: Elder Cyan Dragon of Cyan Dragon Academy, Qin Feng; Elder Vermilion Bird of Vermilion Bird Academy, Ji Huang’Er; Elder Xuanwu of Xuanwu Academy, Zhao Sikong; and Elder White Tiger of White Tiger Academy, Yang Cheng.
The four of them stood at the very front!
Countless gazes converged upon them.
Standing stiffly on the stage and facing the palpable gazes of envy, jealousy, and hatred, Qin Feng glanced sideways. Zhao Sikong and Yang Cheng seed expressionless.
The Elder of Vermilion Bird Academy, Ji Huang’Er, however, looked like she was about to explode.
’I could laugh,’ Qin Feng thought. The Four Great Elders were standing together, but most of the stares seed to be directed at this stunningly beautiful girl who looked like a Celestial Immortal.
She was tall, dressed in red, and breathtakingly beautiful, with a proud and noble aura like a Phoenix!
Many of the young n weren’t so much admiring her as they were directing their lecherous gazes at this Fire Phoenix of a girl.
’How could she not be furious!’
The young woman’s ample chest heaved as she tried her best to suppress her volcanic fury. Seemingly noticing the hint of a smile at the corner of Qin Feng’s mouth, Ji Huang’Er shot a fierce glare at him with her beautiful eyes.
