34 Dharmic Armament Moneybags (2/2)
Upon hearing Zheng Liang's words, Wang Baole also understood the reason. He laughed out loud and did not reject it. He accepted Zheng Liang's invitation.
Zheng Liang was very pleased as he made an appointment with Wang Baole before ending the conversation.
In Ethereal Dao College, unless they were Head Prefects of the same faculty, the Head Prefects would have a very cordial relationship among themselves. They were also willing to befriend each other at a deeper level. After all, everyone was of the same standing. If their friendship reached a certain extent, they could be very helpful to each other.
Days later, Wang Baole left his cave abode at the appointed time. He walked toward the Alchemy faculty.
Wang Baole had spent most of his time on Dharmic Armament Peak despite having lived in Ethereal Dao College for half a year. He seldom went to the other faculties, and it was his first time visiting to the Alchemy faculty.
As he walked on the Alchemy faculty's mountain peak, he looked at the luxuriant vegetation, pavilions, and buildings around him. He immediately felt the difference between the Dharmic Armament faculty and the Alchemy faculty.
The Spirit Qi here is actually richer than the Dharmic Armament faculty. Furthermore, it's a lot milder. Wang Baole was very sensitive to Spirit Qi after cultivating in the Great Void Qi Devouring Art.
As he marveled while proceeding forward, a herbal fragrance could be detected in the surrounding air. The further he proceeded, the thicker the herbal fragrance became. Eventually, Wang Baole discovered that the entire Alchemy Peak was lingering with herbal fragrance.
The herbal fragrance that entered his nose did not aid his cultivation in any way, but it raised his spirits. It left Wang Baole surprised. There were herbal gardens outside every building, and he could see many students engaging in plantation work.
Apart from that, he also saw students setting up stalls along the road. They would promote the pills they refined. Some alchemical cauldrons were even for sale. Many people would take a look when they passed by. Some would immediately buy anything that they fancied.
This scene was not something seen in the Dharmic Armament faculty. As Wang Baole passed by, he felt that the Alchemy faculty was clearly simpler and more elegant, especially with the number of girls taking the majority. It was a treat for the eyes.
This place is great. I should have entered the Alchemy faculty back then. As Wang Baole marveled at the Alchemy faculty, many of the Alchemy faculty students that had set up stalls also noticed him. They instantly recognized Wang Baole and began discussing amid whispers.
Wang Baole's reputation preceded him. Ever since he entered the Dao College, a series of events relating to him had pushed him to prominence, especially with his promotion to Head Prefect. It had spread throughout the Dao College. His fame was so great that students from the various other faculties had long since heard of him.
”It's Wang Baole!”
”People from the Dharmic Armament faculty are rich to begin with. As Head Prefect, I heard that Wang Baole is able to refine Spirit Stones of 90% purity… he's basically a walking moneybag!”
”Humph, what's the big deal? All he does is refine Spirit Stones. There's no way he can compare with our Alchemy faculty!”
This was not the Dharmic Armament faculty after all. Therefore, the students did not seem to show any fear while discussing him. There was some hint of sour grapes, as the money-printing reputation of the Dharmic Armament faculty left the other faculties jealous and envious.
After reaching the perfected Physical Seal realm, Wang Baole's ears had become sharper. When he heard those discussions, he pricked up his brows and curled the corners of his mouth. He went straight for the students who had set up shop, and the moment he came over, all the students looked at him.
Wang Baole ignored the crowd's gazes and lowered his head to look at the pills being sold. Then, he raised his right hand and pointed at a few pill pills.
”This, and that. Put these two pills aside.” Wang Baole pointed at the store that was run by a ponytailed girl. She had been one of the ones who had spoken with a sour tone. When she saw Wang Baole come, she had first been taken aback before being pleasantly surprised. However, when she heard that Wang Baole was apparently only buying two of the most ordinary pills, she immediately lost her fervor.
She pouted, thinking to herself that the Dharmic Armament faculty was not as crazy as people made it out to be. The way he spent was even inferior to students from other faculties. Therefore, she languidly picked up the pills that Wang Baole had pointed out. Just as she was about to hand it to Wang Baole, he said, ”I don't want these two. I'll take the rest.”
The moment he said that, the girl with the ponytail widened her eyes. She was somewhat taken aback as the other students that had set up shop as well as those choosing pills quivered. All of them looked toward Wang Baole.
”What? Aren't you selling them?” Wang Baole coughed, feeling extremely pleased with himself. However, he had a nonchalant air to his expression. It felt like he was not buying pills, but out buying cabbage at the market.
”Yes, definitely!” The ponytailed girl became extremely excited. She rushed to wrap up all the pills without thought and excitedly handed them to Wang Baole. After a moment's thought, she decided to just stand behind Wang Baole while holding onto the goods.
”Head Prefect, there's no need for you to carry them. I'll carry these pills for you. In the future, if you have any requests, you can tell me at any time. Why don't… you leave me your contact details? If you have any requests, I'll personally deliver the pills to your cave abode.” The ponytailed girl had average looks, but her figure was extremely provocative. In her excitement, her eyes had a strange glint.
”That's good. Carry them for me then.” Wang Baole felt pleased as he continued walking toward the next stall with his hands behind his back. Nearly all the students who had set up shop, be they men or women, were bubbling with excitement. They charged forward, trying their best to promote their pills.
”Head Prefect, you are so handsome. Look at the pills I have here. Each one is personally refined by me.”
”Handsome Head Prefect, I have some pills here. Come take a look.”
Wang Baole could not help but feel wistful when he saw how they were fawning over him instantly despite their previously envious attitudes. He felt that, as a Dharmic Armament faculty Head Prefect, he needed to make the people from the Alchemy faculty understand how the Dharmic Armament faculty spent money. Therefore, he waved his hand without much thought.
”I'll buy it!”
The moment he said that, the Alchemy faculty students around him immediately exclaimed in excitement. Most of them were females. Their tiny faces blushed red with excitement. Even with ordinary looks, they looked different with their blushing, red faces. Therefore, when the Vegetation Hall's Head Prefect, Zheng Liang, rushed over, he saw… a group of people circling around Wang Baole, carrying bags of all shapes and sizes. All of them looked at him with a strange glint in their eyes as they took the initiative to request his contact details.
