"Welcome to the Baiyun Essence Shop! What are you looking for today?" the worker inside the shop greets Zhang Zhixuan. Because they provide one to one service for every visitor, Zhixuan managed to get a guide to bring him to visit around.

But he was disappointed with the kind of item sold, not to mention their limited numbers. How can the world turn into such after his reborn?

Before the subordinate of Baiyun Headmaster left, Zhixuan heard clearly that Ore Coins and Ore Refiner Blocks do exist in this Realm, but how can the quality of commodities sold in the Baiyun Essence Shop turn into scraps?

What Realm is this? How can the commodities that should be refined into a high-quality product end up into these scraps?

"Sister, do the Baiyun Essence Shop sell the raw material instead?" Zhang Zhixuan asked. Since their end product is at such low-quality, what about the unprocessed material?

The guide took him to a different room where Raw Materials is stored.

"What!!! Are you guys mad!" Zhixuan almost lost control of himself and charged to the Basket Container made from very unrefined Spiritual Mineral ability.

From the moment a person obtained their Spiritual Mineral, he can be treated as a small multipurpose factory. By changing their Spiritual Mineral into a maker, they can modify, form, purify, process, and made something with Materials provided.

By using Lady Hua as the model of example, her Tailoring Needle is well-known to be a form changed from her Spiritual Ore. But a needle cannot works without a thread, and to form them, she needs Raw Material to be refined into threads.

This is why nothing in the universe is useless for a Celestial Refiner unless the Raw Material is too powerful for him to refine. But today, right here in the Baiyun Essence Shop, he was presented with a sight that will cause him a nightmare for weeks.

Zhang Zhixuan remembers that when he was still the Pinnacle Legend of Celestial Refiner, he was presented with a single stalk of Tian Lai Grass from one of his subject. Of course, the Tian Lai Grass can be said to be one of the lowest in term of quality.

But seeing his attendant and disciples attitude against his subject with the Tian Lai Grass, the Pinnacle Legend decided to step forward and mediates this matter. In his opinion, this opportunity is the best to teach his attendant and disciples a lesson about appreciation.

"All of you, stop." the Pinnacle Legend stopped his people from creating any disturbance and accepted the Tian Lai Grass from his subject. At that time, his achievement in cultivation can be said as only two mortal above him, and billions of mortal below.

With a wave of his hand, the Pinnacle Legend splits the Tian Lai Grass into three parts. The Stem, the Left, and the Right part of the Grass. With his Spiritual Energy, he turned the stem into an article of clothing.

This wasn't all.

The left side of the grass turned into two droplets of liquid, filled with wonder that cannot be imaginable. As for the Right side, it turned into a row of three pieces of stone, known as Mineral Refiner Blocks.

"Your Highness!" the subject kneeled before the Pinnacle Legend awestruck. If he can do all of this on his own, will his end results be only a mere Tian Lai Grass?

"All of you. Do you understand why I did this?" the Pinnacle Legend questioned his subject, attendant, and disciples. As the question was straightforward, nobody dares to answer his question recklessly.

The gaze from the public turned to the subject kneeling before the Pinnacle Legend. Under pressure from his peers and those following his highness, the subject dares himself to challenge this.

"Your Highness... Your subject thinks that because we're your subject in this kingdom. No... No... This realm, your highness." he replied.

"Correct." the Pinnacle Legend lowered his hand to bring his subject back on his feet.

"Do all of you think that I'm a person who will be disdained by the existence of a mere Tian Lai Grass?" he turned to the public, where his attendant and disciple' stands.

"We don't dare, your highness!" everyone included his people kneeled before him asking for forgiveness.

"Listen here..."

"Our life is almost identical to this Tian Lei Grass in my hand. From the moment we're born, we become the seedling. Some may grow, some might wither, but this decision is what we decide for ourselves."

"You, you..." the Pinnacle Legend started to point at those he can before he got tired and mentioned a different word.

"All of you!" his call brings everyone from two knees to one, with the upper body facing in front.

"We're all starts with a background similar or more humble than the Tian Lai Grass. That's including me. Why in my lifetime will I even feel offended to be given a Raw Material like this Tian Lai Grass?" the Pinnacle Legend tried explaining to them his reasoning.

"Your Highness, we understand!"

"Teacher, all of us will remember your teachings..."

"Master, please forgive our action earlier. This mister, please accept our apology!" the attendants that tried to kick the subject away with his Tian Lai Grass gives him an apology for their earlier behavior.

"Good."

"Always remember, our enemy is not the people inside the realm that nurturing the Celestial Refiners. Only the Erosion Refiner and Putrid Refiner are our enemies." the Pinnacle Legend said and nods in approval.

"Mister?"

"Mister?"

"EH?" Zhang Zhixuan wakes up from his daydreaming. The sudden flashback made him feel a little happy because he did something on behalf of the Realm housing the Celestial Refiners.

But...

Nothing can explain the situation before him! How can one with such primitive technology and civilization waste the Raw Materials that supposed to be treasured, not trashed, handle them?

"TELL ME, WHO THE HELL PUT THE TIAN LAI GRASS IN A CRUDE CONTAINER LIKE THIS?"

Zhang Zhixuan can't wait to expect the guide's answer.

"The Tian Lai Grass? They're a common Raw Material harvested from the Eastern Forest of Marshal Bai City. Everyone that brings the Tian Lai Grass back to the Baiyun Academy can exchange them into one Mineral Coin each." the guide replied.

"What!!! Harvested from the Eastern Forest? Are you joking?" Zhixuan cannot believe what she said! How can a Tian Lai Grass, something that even his subject population treated them like a treasure, can be pluck randomly from a tiny forest?

"This mister, I am not allowed to take my job as a joke." the guide replied.

"Then, please give me ten of them." Zhang Zhixuan took ten Mineral Coins out from his pocket, but the guide turned her head left and right.

"Ten Tian Lai Grass cost twenty Mineral Coins, mister. One Mineral Coin each is the price you get for selling them to us," she said.

"I... understand..." Zhang Zhixuan took another ten Mineral Coins out from his pocket for the material and left the moment he got them in the form of a pouch.

"This brat actually come is and waste half an hour of my time! In the end, he only gives me a commission of a two Mineral Coins!" she complained.

"Hahaha... Ten Tian Lai Grass cost twenty Mineral Coins. Can be picked everywhere in the Eastern Forest. Although I know that the Tian Lei Grass in my memory is not as tiny as this, how can they treat them like trash?" Zhang Zhixuan inspects the content inside his pouch and complained.

Not too long after that, he finally found the place he's going to stay for his term as a student at Baiyun Academy. Because most of the classes cost a few coins to attend, not everyone has so much free time as he did.

A basic introduction class cost five Mineral Coins, and one has to attend at least five class to master the basic of a Celestial Refiner. If the class focus more on their Characteristic, it may cost ten to fifteen Mineral Coins each.

"Tok Tok Tok," Zhang Zhixuan knocked.

Soon, a woman somewhat similar to his mother's age come out to receive him. She asked him about his visit here and nodded once she saw the token in his hand.

"Your room is prepared. Please follow me. Also, you can call me as Aunt Wei. I am the caretaker of this Baihua Courtyard." the woman introduced herself and took Zhang Zhixuan for a quick tour around the building.

The Baihua Courtyard comes with an attached two-floor height building, served as their accommodation building. Aunt Wei duty in this courtyard includes cleaning, cooking, and handling the small matters like receiving the delivered materials if there's any.

Here, Zhang Zhixuan lives with five other students of the Baiyun Academy. To be precise, each of them is the direct student of the Baiyun Headmaster, which is why all of them is arranged to live together in the same building.

But there's one restriction he must follow before he was allowed to enter his room on the corner of the second floor.

"Aunt Wei you're joking..." Zhang Zhixuan stares at the caretaker the moment she mentioned the restriction.

"I am not joking. You have to make sure to be well dressed before leaving your room. The other five direct students of your teacher are all female." Aunt Wei repeats her word for the second time.

"Holy Shit..."

"Heaven... Did you do this to test me?"
