Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 65: Strange treasure, spiritual magic weapon - space compass!
Dean Xiao said straight to the point:

"All freshman resources will be distributed to all students according to the rules. This also includes campus facilities and the use of some Stardust Magical Artifacts."

Lu Ran hurriedly said, "Dean Xiao, I can't use the Stardust Magic Weapon."

Dean Xiao smiled amiably, "The school has taken this into consideration. Public resources belong to the school's property, and we have converted them into resources you can use."

"First, the public scholarship for the first semester will be yours, a total of two million."

Lu Ran nodded, but his emotions didn't change at all.

A two million yuan bonus is indeed a huge sum of money for freshmen entering Mingzhu.

But for him.
It's just that the seventh-to-last digit on the account has changed, which is something you wouldn't notice unless you look at it specifically.

"After a meeting, the school decided to reward you with a chance to enter the Three-Step Pagoda for training for seven days!"

Hearing this, Lu Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, as if thinking about something.

The Three-Step Pagoda is the true holy place for cultivation in Mingzhu Academy!
In Shanghai and even throughout the country, the Three-Step Pagoda is very famous, and it even ranks high among the holy places for cultivation in universities around the world.

The concentration of elements on campus on a daily basis, from low to high, are the Green Campus, the Main Campus, some special training rooms, and finally the Three-Step Tower.

The opportunity to practice the Three-Step Pagoda is basically monopolized by the top dozens of students from each college on the main campus.

Freshmen in the Qing campus have no chance or opportunity to enter the Three-Step Tower.

Lu Ran was still very satisfied with being able to enter the Three-Step Tower for training.

Dean Xiao stared at Lu Ran for a few seconds, and found that he was not surprised at all, and his mood remained unchanged. He subconsciously asked:

"Aren't you surprised?"

"guessed."

Dean Xiao sighed:
"It's been a while since I've met a student as calm and composed as you."

"If those young people from aristocratic families who have just arrived at the main campus knew that you could enter the Three-Step Pagoda to practice, it would inevitably spark another round of discussion."

"Young people should be more lively and not act so old-fashioned."

Lu Ran smiled very cooperatively:

"Actually, I'm pretty funny around women."

"I still want to thank Dean Xiao and the school. I am very satisfied with this resource."

Dean Xiao looked at Lu Ran and seemed a little surprised.

It was hard to imagine that Lu Ran, who was always polite to him, would give a domineering speech to the whole school during the beast fighting competition.

Dean Xiao shook his head and said:

"No need to thank me, you fought hard for these resources."

"If you hadn't taken action and protested for yourself, you wouldn't be where you are today."

Lu Ran smiled and said nothing.

On the path of cultivation, one cannot do without struggle.

Dean Xiao continued:

"These are the only two hundred people the school has."

"Next, it's your extra resources for defeating others. I've estimated that you can choose one from these magic tools and magical weapons."

"These things were all collected by me when I was young, traveling all over the world. They are all very valuable, and some of them can't be found in Kyushu."

Dean Xiao waved his hand, and those magic tools and weapons turned into sleeve needles, appearing in his palm. He briefly introduced them one by one:
"This is a defensive magic tool, the Shield of Darkness. The dark magic emanating from the shield has the effect of disintegrating the power of elements. Even when facing demons, the defense is enough to easily block a blow from an advanced warrior creature."

"This one, the Contract Ring, can be used to sign an equal contract with a demon creature. The prerequisite is that the demon's strength is equal to your cultivation level. Cross-level contracts are not allowed."

"This parchment, called the 'Death Note', is a curse-type magical artifact. Anyone whose name and physical characteristics are recorded on it will be cursed. Misfortunes are the least of their worries. If they're unlucky, they could even go astray and die while practicing." Lu Ran's eyes lit up, but he immediately reacted and asked with a sigh:

"It's a big price, isn't it?"

Dean Xiao smiled:

"Of course, this kind of magic weapon, if used improperly, is always a double-edged sword. It will have negative effects after use and is useless against super-class mages. There are also basic requirements. The cultivation level of the cursed person cannot be stronger than the cursed person by a major realm."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ran immediately lost interest.

Even if this kind of magic weapon is not used, it is still a great collection. No wonder Dean Xiao kept it.

I have to admit that the magic weapon on the curse side, whose power comes from curse magic, is indeed a rare treasure.

But it is not what Lu Ran needs right now, so it would be useless if he came over.

"This magic shoe is known for its lightness."

Dean Xiao gave a brief introduction to the magic tools and magic weapons, and then handed it over to Lu Ran to decide.

These shields, shoes, armors, and some magic tools are all top-notch and have extraordinary properties. Even if they are put in the auction in the Magic City, they will be the top treasures and will be fought over by everyone.

Similar to the Ring of Contract, it is almost equivalent to half of the summoning system. Only the wealthy Dean Xiao can be so generous.

However, Lu Ran already has the Undead Element, so he doesn't consider contracting another demon.

Finally, Lu Ran's gaze stopped on a compass that was shining with silver light.

Dean Xiao followed Lu Ran's gaze and paused slightly, as if recalling something.

The reason why Lu Ran chose it was very simple. This compass was a treasure for the spiritual side.

Magical weapons with spiritual attributes are far more precious than elemental magic weapons and are also difficult to find.

This object is called 'Space Compass'.

According to Dean Xiao, it can help to temper mental strength and assist in the ability to set up spatial barriers.

The stronger the user's mental power, the stronger and larger the spatial barrier he creates.

"Your mental strength is quite good. This space compass is indeed suitable for you."

Since Dean Xiao said so, Lu Ran had no reason not to choose. He immediately put the space compass into the space ring and thanked Dean Xiao for the gift.

Besides, since we are here, it would be best if we could make some money from Dean Xiao.

"Dean Xiao, do you have any rare treasures for cultivating spiritual power?"

Dean Xiao was silent for a moment, then said quietly:
"Treasures that enhance spiritual power are extremely rare."

Lu Ran's eyes lit up. The implication of this sentence was, is there?

Treasures that enhance spiritual power are hard to find. Strictly speaking, they are no less rare than spiritual seeds, or even harder to find.

If it weren't for Dean Xiao as a channel, it would be difficult for Lu Ran to get it even if he had money.

As the saying goes, money should be spent on the blade. Lu Ran struck while the iron was hot and said:

"Dean Xiao, I'm willing to spend money to buy it!"

Dean Xiao shook his head and said:

"No need for money, but you have to promise me one thing."

After he finished speaking, an egg-sized prismatic crystal appeared in Dean Xiao's palm. It was dark white, like a piece of dust-free "sodium".

Lu Ran had spent a lot of time in the library these days. He and Xinxia spent the whole day together and also looked up some information.

At that moment, I recognized it at a glance:
"Dean Xiao, is this a Mind Stone?!"
