Rubbing his head, with the appearance of "Thoughts on Alchemy" the swelling pain in Lu Yunxiao's mind had quietly disappeared.

Immersed in thought, he casually opened the "Thoughts on Alchemy" in his mind and flipped through it for a while. He found it obscure and abstruse, difficult to grasp, leaving him somewhat puzzled for a moment.

After turning a few pages, he found the basics, focusing on the introductory chapters of alchemy. Lu Yunxiao slowly began to gain some insights into the art of alchemy.

The basics were explained in great detail, covering alchemical techniques, the utilization of spiritual perception, control of heat, a detailed explanation of the alchemy cauldron, and the general properties of various herbs, among other things.

Starting from the basics and delving deeper, it seemed to have a structured hierarchy, making it very convenient for beginners to learn.

"Good stuff!" Lu Yunxiao sighed lightly. The reward of "Thoughts on Alchemy" was perfect for laying his foundation, understanding various herbs, and basic alchemical knowledge. Once his fire attribute unlocked, he could directly attempt alchemy.

It could be said that it maximized time efficiency. Otherwise, if he had to learn these basics after unlocking the fire attribute, it would have slowed down his progress in alchemy.

Retracting his thoughts, Lu Yunxiao's gaze turned to the stone in his hand shimmering with an orange-yellow light.

"Is this the Soul Contract Stone?" He murmured to himself, weighing it in his hand.

"Yes, this is the Soul Contract Stone. It can form a soul contract, allowing control over individuals or other beings whose soul realm is within two levels of yours," the system's voice echoed in Lu Yunxiao's mind.

"Within two levels of my soul realm, is that a major level or a minor level?" Lu Yunxiao blinked. He was currently in the Intermediate Mortal Realm. If it referred to the major level, it would correspond to the Peak Mortal Realm. If it was the minor level, based on his current strength in the Intermediate Mortal Realm, it would correspond to the peak of the Intermediate Mortal Realm.

The distinction between major and minor levels represented a considerable gap.

"Of course, it's the major level. Otherwise, the Soul Contract Stone wouldn't be considered a rare item of the world. But, host, don't get too excited yet. To form a contract, you need to obtain a strand of the target's soul," the system murmured.

"Meaning, to form a contract, whether willingly or forcibly, you must obtain a strand of the target's soul. That's not simple," the system added softly.

"I understand," Lu Yunxiao nodded. He wasn't overly optimistic; after all, nothing in the world was perfect.

However, regardless of the conditions, the Soul Contract Stone would have significant use in the future. After marking it with blood, Lu Yunxiao put away the Soul Contract Stone.

"The Cultivation Experience Card resolves my urgent need."

Lu Yunxiao smiled slightly. The Yang Pendant was indeed powerful but too precious. Using it against current enemies was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, a wasteful act.

However, these three experience cards were different. They were not as precious to use and would be extremely useful in times of danger.

"Not bad, the rewards for this sign-in task are quite generous," Lu Yunxiao said, grinning.

"Of course, the first sign-in naturally brings some good things for the host. Subsequent sign-in tasks will depend on the situation," the system stated lightly.

"What situation?" Lu Yunxiao asked puzzled.

"The difficulty of the tasks," the system's plain voice echoed.

Two days flew by in a blink, and it was time for new students to attend classes.

Holding the map, Lu Yunxiao followed the indicated path towards the Minghong Building.

"Minghong Building, Level Three, Room Two, Yellow Class Two!" Lu Yunxiao muttered softly, his steps light. Clad in a green robe swaying in the breeze, with a glint in his eyes, he exuded an elegant and refined demeanor.

"Wow, that junior brother is so handsome!" A female student in the crowd couldn't help but scream when she saw Lu Yunxiao's extraordinary style.

"Where, where?" Her voice startled her companion, who immediately turned and was also amazed.

"So handsome, this junior brother must be a new student; I've never seen him before!"

"Definitely a new student; look, he doesn't even have a uniform." A girl spoke up.

"I wonder which class this junior brother is in, curious." Another female student asked softly.

"New students must all be at the Minghong Building over there," a voice popped up from somewhere.

"Isn't that on our way? Let's follow!" A group of female students exchanged glances and trailed behind Lu Yunxiao from a distance.

Naturally, Lu Yunxiao was aware but pretended not to notice and continued toward the Minghong Building.

The Minghong Building was the gathering place for Yellow Class students, while opposite it stood the Mingguang Building, where the Black Class students congregated.

Apart from Minghong and Mingguang Buildings, the Jia Nan Academy had many other teaching buildings. However, due to the higher number of graduates from Minghong and Mingguang Buildings this year, many new students were mostly here.

The Jia Nan Academy didn't have grade distinctions; instead, it classified students into Yellow and Black Classes. Both old and new students attended classes together, emphasizing competitiveness rather than age-based divisions.

In the Black-Corner Region, the teaching philosophy of the Jia Nan Academy differed significantly from other academies. It was more realistic, favoring the strong over the weak because real enemies wouldn't spare you because of your age.

Therefore, new students who could stand out in such circumstances were genuine geniuses and the Academy's main focus for development.

Generally speaking, students from the Black Class were stronger overall than those in the Yellow Class, but that didn't apply to everyone. Some Yellow Class students were equally powerful, like Lu Yunxiao and other exceptionally talented students.

Lu Yunxiao was already well-known. Many students had heard of his name, some were astonished, some admired, but most still held skeptical opinions.

As Lu Yunxiao walked, he had already heard numerous discussions about himself. Most people wanted to see his strength, which made Lu Yunxiao twitch his mouth endlessly.

It seemed that for a while, he wouldn't be able to live in peace.
