The arrangement of the learning period at the Golden Crow Academy was not like that of the Academy in Yan Jia’s previous life. There were two holidays in a year, and the Academy ensured that the break it gave the students coincided with the general holidays.
The Academy only gave the students one annual leave, and this leave was close to the end of the year so that the students would be able to spend the holiday at home. Of course, many people choose to stay in the academy, even during the annual vacation.
These people include those who don’t want to go back, as well as those who cannot go back.
Some people thought that the main thing they had to do in the Academy was to hurry up and study and not go back. Some thought that it was because the annual holidays were too short, their homes were too far away, and they did not want to go back. However, all these had nothing to do with Yan Jia. This time, he wanted to go home.
The “New Year’s holiday” system was introduced over a hundred years ago. Even though there was only one month of vacation time in a year, many people still thought that the holiday period was too long.
After all, before this New Year’s holiday system was introduced, whether it was for the Academy or for the students, the term “New Year’s holiday” did not exist.
Six hundred years ago, when the Academy was still in the sect, whenever a person entered the sect, he would automatically become a member of the sect, and after he died, he would still remain a member. Even if he did not die and instead turned into a ghost, he would still be a ghost of the sect.
After all, the sect had raised him up, given him food and money, and taught him how to obtain the power he gained. It wasn’t easy for the sect to raise a person, so why would a person deem it appropriate to leave?
After the reform that happened six hundred years ago, the sect became an Academy. In the beginning, entering an Academy was the same as being marked with an Academy. Generally speaking, one wouldn’t be able to leave for the rest of their life.
Later on, the era began to develop, and society began to progress. The original rules of death began to be removed slowly, causing the rules to also became looser and looser, and finally, it became like this. More than a hundred years ago, someone finally proposed a holiday system.
At first, the annual holidays were not like they are now, but after so many years of development, they slowly evolved into the result of the annual holidays now.
During this year’s annual vacation, not only did Yan Jia have to go to Zhenkong Demiplane once, but he also needed to go home. After all, he might not be able to go back during the annual leave in the future. Even if he graduated from Golden Crow Academy, he would not choose to go back.
It would be fine if the Zhenkong Demiplane could help him, but what he feared the most was that he would not be able to confirm anything in the end. He did not know whether it would be effective or not, but either way, he would be spending precious time of his life.
More than six hundred years.
It was a race that lasted for a lifetime, with a lifespan of only a hundred years, and would take six hundred years to finish, and Yan Jia still wouldn’t be able to prepare for his funeral.
This time, Yan Jia returned with the thought that it might be the last time to return.
After all, the resources he could get in the Golden Crow Academy and those he would get at home were different. If he stayed at the Golden Crow Academy, he might still have a chance of winning this “race.” If he stayed at home all the time, he would be committing suicide.
Putting down the book in his hand, Yan Jia let out a long breath of air that had been accumulated in his lungs.
Apart from the Zhenkong Demiplane, he was also looking for other ways to speed up the growth of the Avatar. After all, he couldn’t place all his hopes in an uncertain place. Fortunately, although it wasn’t much, there were still some gains.
Apart from the fact that Yan Jia still did not know whether or not the Zhenkong Demiplane would be useful or not, he had only found two ways to increase the rate of the Avatar’s growth.
One was the “Building Base.”
It was the first stage of cultivation – the Building Base.
A strong body and powerful soul would provide a certain amount of help to the nurturing of the Avatar.
The other method involved the core of the Cultivation Technique in the Shanhai World, which was imitation.
Whenever the Golden Core was nurturing the Avatar, the more thorough one’s understanding of the Avatar was, the faster the Avatar would be nurtured.
Yan Jia switched his’ vision ‘to the star universe, sensing everything that the blue star could sense.
It seemed like he needed to get used to the two angles he was looking at.
He silently pondered as he swallowed the Nutrition Pill in his mouth.
During these past few days, Yan Jia started to read as soon as he woke up. He read all kinds of books that might be helpful to him.
If he could not hold on any longer, he would lie on the table then most of his will would enter the universe of stars. He constantly felt this blue star of his and would only leave behind a bit of his ‘perspective’ to protect his body. When his body was almost fully rested, he would continue to read.
Over the past ten days, Yan Jia had been pacing back and forth between the tables and chairs and the bookshelves. With the help of the Nutrition Pill, he didn’t even need to go to the restroom anymore.
He stood up from the chair and stretched his body. Yan Jia could hear his bones cracking. This was not only because of his habit of working and resting for the past ten days but also because the Golden Core in his body was constantly strengthening his body.
The cracking sounds produced by moving his body could be heard not only by Yan Jia himself but also by the people in the outside world.
However, no one had the intention of turning their heads to look. There were many people like Yan Jia. After reading books for a long time, the sound of their cracking bones could be heard every day.
Compared to the sounds produced when people of large races moved, the noise produced by Yan Jia’s movements was considered small.
If everyone was distracted by them, would they be able to study and learn?
Yan Jia moved the books on his table to a small compartment next to the bookshelf but left only a few books that he intended to borrow later.
It was not that he could not move all the books at once, but he chose to move them several times in order to protect them from damage.
After Yan Jia moved all the books that he did not need into the compartment, he pulled down a piece of wood from the top of the compartment, blocking it tightly.
Now, whatever was in the compartment couldn’t be seen from the outside.
Although Yan Jia did not know what could happen to this compartment, he kept using it.
After putting the books that he didn’t need to read or finish reading into the compartment, he used a wooden block to block them. Later, the wooden block would automatically be lifted.
The books that were originally placed in the compartment also disappeared and reappeared on the surrounding bookshelves. The location would still be the same as before.
According to Yan Jia’s guess, this compartment should be some kind of “automated” device that could automatically collect books and rearrange them. There was no need for people to waste precious time looking for the original positions of these books on the bookshelf.
Although he did not know why the Academy would only activate this ‘automated device’ after it was completely covered up, he did not really care.
In any case, it saved him enough time.
Yan Jia picked up the few remaining books on the table. It was time to go out.
Just as Yan Jia was waiting for the procedure to be completed, a ball of light appeared out of the small compartment in which he had placed the books.
