While the Academy had its fair share of strong individuals,
no Ninth Rank presence was present.
Naturally, they could not refute Xu Wen Shan, the Ninth Rank Southwest Governor.
The Academy, left with no choice, could only engage in a debate.
Southwest’s martial arts universities were not limited to one!
Nanjiang Martial Arts University, among the Southwest martial arts universities, had the shortest history.
With the compensation offered by other universities, Nanjiang Martial Arts University reluctantly accepted the task.
Moreover, Qing Shan Base was relatively close to Nanjiang Martial Arts University.
To ensure swift support should Qing Shan Base face any event,
Nanjiang Martial Arts University could not escape this responsibility.
However, the task falling onto Nanjiang Martial Arts University did not mark the end.
The reason was simple, Nanjiang Martial Arts University consisted of several colleges.
Each college was unwilling to take on this mission.
Four-Rank martial artists, each college had only about ten.
After all, Nanjiang Martial Arts University’s foundation was still lacking.
Every Mid-Rank martial artist was a precious asset.
This explained why Jiang He Kang treated Ning An so well.
The colleges debated for quite a long time over this candidate.
As time passed,
Ning An’s dream cultivation state was nearing its end.
“Four-Rank Mid-Stage!”
At this moment, Ning An finally broke through.
It had been over two months since he attempted the breakthrough.
Breaking through a minor realm!
For many martial artists, it was unimaginable.
Especially for Mid-Rank martial artists, breaking through a minor realm was not easy.
Even some prodigies might need half a year.
This was thanks to his peak Three-Rank Initial Stage cultivation and three times the speed of dream cultivation.
He had finally achieved this breakthrough.
However, as Ning An emerged from his cultivation, he received a summoning message from the Dean.
“Did something happen!?”
Ning An was a bit dazed at first.
But without hesitation, he immediately set out!
After all, old man Jiang He Kang had been kind to him.
Upon arriving at the Dean’s office, Ning An noticed a serious expression on Jiang He Kang’s face.
“Dean, is there anything the matter!?”
This made Ning An even more curious, prompting him to ask directly.
Jiang He Kang remained silent, not speaking immediately.
He didn’t expect this task to fall onto their Pill College.
After searching through the numerous Four-Rank martial artists in the Pill College, none were willing to take the position of Qing Shan Base Master!
Finally, Jiang He Kang’s gaze fell upon Ning An.
The reason was simple, Ning An was from Qing Shan Base and might be more inclined to agree.
But Jiang He Kang’s heart was still reluctant.
This would significantly hinder Ning An’s cultivation progress.
Currently, Ning An displayed great potential.
Therefore, he decided to first ask Ning An’s opinion.
“The previous Qing Shan Base Master encountered an accident during a support mission.”
“He perished at the hands of a beast, resulting in a vacancy.”
“Although the Southwest region has many Four-Rank martial artists, none were interested.”
.
Jiang He Kang explained the cause and effect of the situation.
This matter had been discussed for nearly a month.
Even Ning An couldn’t help but frown slightly.
Qing Shan Base Master!?
From the perspective of his hometown, returning would allow him to take care of his family.
But what were the benefits?
Returning to Qing Shan Base would come with numerous restrictions.
The most critical aspect was the resource issue.
However, from another perspective,
it wasn’t impossible!
Currently, Ning An’s cultivation relied more on ability extraction.
A good ability was more important than the environment.
Furthermore, returning to Qing Shan Base offered an advantage.
It allowed him to conceal some of his cultivation and fabricate some fortuitous encounters.
With his cheat system, he could take his time.
If the school offered sufficient conditions, it wasn’t impossible to become the Qing Shan Base Master.
Despite his thoughts, Ning An outwardly maintained a troubled expression.
“Dean, while Qing Shan Base is my hometown,”
“the cultivation environment is simply too different.”
“I still aim to strive for higher realms.”
....
Ning An wasn’t holding back at all!
Even Jiang He Kang couldn’t refute his words.
“Little An, this matter is crucial and needs someone to handle it.”
“Qing Shan Base has been without a Four-Rank guardian for almost a month.”
“Governor Xu is urging us!”
“You could go and temporarily take the position.”
....
Jiang He Kang’s face revealed a look of helplessness as he tried to persuade him.
After an hour of back and forth,
Ning An finally relented slightly!
As for the conditions, they were not an issue.
Especially when Ning An requested spirit stones, it was extremely simple.
This was much easier than asking for rare resources.
He personally even offered Ning An a million spirit stones.
Furthermore, Ning An seized the opportunity to borrow ten million spirit stones from the school.
With no interest, they agreed to return the loan after five years.
It could be said that Ning An, through this opportunity, intended to make a good profit from the school.
