28. Taking treasures from the nest.

The cave is dark and humid. Danshou walking slowly on the cave path. He doesn't know if there are other snakes inside the nest. Best to keep caution and be alert. Even though the cave is dark, his eyes can see inside clearly. As an earth-level cultivator, it's easy to see in the dark for him. Walk for a while, the cave getting bigger and there's a light can be seen.

The path ended after he found the light source. There a blood pool flickering with light.

"Oh, there's a dragon blood essence in here?!"

Gelu surprised voice can be heard inside Danshou's mind.

"Young master, you should take it!"

"Is it this blood pool?"

"No, its the blood crystals scattering inside the pool. The blood pool created by the energy radiating from those. If you take those crystals, this blood pool will be changed back as a normal pool. No wonder the snake fighting so hard outside. The snake must be protecting this pool. With this pool the snake using to cultivate, the Red fire-snake can transform to be a low-dragon demon beast."

"Oh, is it that good?"

"Yes, the blood essence crystal can change the beast body or human body to suit cultivation faster and change the talent."

"Hmm.. like the spiritual pool inside my ring?"

"Of course not. You can't compare this with Chaos ring spiritual pool. That spiritual pool is more rare and supreme grade than even the ancient dragon blood essence."

"I see. Master is so good to me." Danshou feels more awe to his master.

"Come on, Young master, take the crystals. You can use it. There's also a lot of great spiritual herbs in here. All good stuff. Just put it inside the Chaos ring."

"Alright."

Moving agilely, Danshou took all the blood crystals from inside the pool, making the pool change to be a normal clear one. After that he took all the spiritual herbs scattering inside the cave corners, making the cave clean from anything good. After checking around the cave insides, he nods. He was already taken all good stuff from this cave.

"Young master, some people are moving here. You should leave the cave before they all arrive, so nobody will know you just plunder this nest from all the goods."

"Alright."

Cleaning all his traces, Danshou leaving the cave and sneak past the fighting beasts again. He stands on the previous tree branch and pretends to watch the fight between the two beasts.

After a while, using his mind perception, he sees some group of people comings surrounding the place.

Seeing the robes they wear, there are different robes Danshou can't recognize. This makes him wonder if this training ground might not belong to Meryu Academy's alone. Maybe other academies can use this place too. Every robe from Meryu Academy's got MA insignia, but others got different academies insignia.

"Look, there's other Meryu Academy's student!" a young male youth wearing a robe with fire insignia whispering to his group.

"Yea, looks like from the robes he wears, he's from core-student of Meryu Academy."

"He looks so young. I can't believe he's a core-student."

"Meryu Academy always good to find talented youth."

"Yeah, not like our Fire Academy's."

Even though those people whispering in a small voice, Danshou can hear all their words. Their words just confirm Danshou's guess before. So, it's not just Meryu Academy students using this training ground. There are others too. Look like other academy comes from other kingdoms too, not just Meryu kingdom. Maybe these people from the other academies got the same level power as Meryu Academy. If that's true, the competition inside the training ground would be quite interesting. In his previous life, competition between other academy students always harsh. In this life, the competition must be crueller because in here the students are cultivators. Being strong in powers they own always makes the fights include their own lives.

While Danshou pays attention to those students from Fire Academy, a small group wearing Meryu Academy's robes are arriving too, some of them wear an inner-students robe while a few wearing outer core-students robe. When those wearing outer core-students robe seen him, their eyes lit up. Those few outer core-students moving toward him with an amiable attitude. Their action makes Danshou feels weird because after he registers to the Academy, he never meets other outer core-students.

He never thinks he will meet a few of them inside the training ground. Making him feels awkward seeing them all. He never interacts with others closely before. In his previous life, he's a loner and a nerd so none want to interact with him except his childhood friend. Remembering the stupid girl makes him feels disgusted and disappointed, so he stops thinking about her. He will never meet with her again after his transmigration. He's interested in the reasons these people tried to interact with him, but his face continue looks stiff and cold.
