"That's the Jasmine."
It seemed that the leading young man from the Human Clan noticed Jiang Yuan and his companions' gazes and smilingly addressed them.
Jiang Yuan nodded: "So, are we now heading to the gathering point of our Human Clan?"
"Correct, each race will have its own gathering point, which also facilitates the competition for magical resources, or in other words, that Jasmine."
After the young man from the Human Clan finished speaking, Shi Ji, who was next to him, looked somewhat puzzled: "In that case, are we fighting on our own or as a collective?"
"If it's collective combat, who gets to keep the Jasmine after we snatch it?"
"Whoever snatches it, keeps it."
The young man from the Human Clan looked at Shi Ji with eyes full of admiration: "You can say it's a collective fight or an individual fight."
"We're gathered here to provide mutual support so that other races don't outnumber and bully the few."
"I see."
After Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan nodded in understanding, they passed through camps set up by several races and arrived at the Human Clan's gathering point.
"Welcome to the newcomers."
As soon as Jiang Yuan and his group arrived, someone greeted them.
"Let me introduce myself. I am the temporary leader of this Human Clan gathering point, my name is Li Shouming, and I'm ranked third among the second-year students of the Martial Arts Academy."
"Ranked third!"
Both Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan looked at Li Shouming with surprise.
Among the four top academies, those who are ranked at the top of their grade are considered prodigies.
They hadn't expected to encounter another genius from a top academy here today.
"And you are? Won't you introduce yourselves?"
Li Shouming looked at Jiang Yuan and his group, seemingly very satisfied with the surprise in their eyes.
"Zhongyuan Academy second-year student, Jiang Yuan."
After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Mu Qianshan gave him a strange glance before he also introduced himself.
"Zhongyuan Academy second-year, ranked five hundred, Mu Qianshan."
Although Mu Qianshan didn't know why Jiang Yuan hadn't revealed his ranking at Zhongyuan Academy,
He still followed the introduction given by Li Shouming and revealed his own ranking.
Albeit it was just an approximation.
"Zhongyuan Academy, Shi Ji."
"Zhongyuan Academy, Nezha."
After Mu Qianshan finished, Shi Ji and Nezha also spoke up.
Li Shouming focused his gaze on Shi Ji before turning to Jiang Yuan and his buddies with a smile.
"If that's the case, then come in first. There is some vacant land over there; you can choose a spot to serve as your temporary residence."
Even though Jiang Yuan and his companions hadn't stated their rankings at Zhongyuan Academy, that didn't affect Li Shouming's interest in them.
Setting other factors aside, just being students from one of the four top academies could already prove their strength.
Even though he hadn't stated his ranking among the academy students, their strength alone made it apparent that they were at least among the top two hundred.
In the four top academies, although the strength rankings for each profession vary, overall power levels tend to be fairly similar.
In their academy, those with late-stage Xuanxiao power are generally ranked around the top two hundred.
Presumably, it's the same in Zhongyuan Academy.
"Alright."
After nodding, Jiang Yuan followed the young man from the Human Clan who had led them in toward that open area.
They also saw quite a number of Human Clan individuals sitting around at the gathering area, who looked at them with some curiosity.
It seemed like there weren't many people from the Human Clan, counting Jiang Yuan and his group, only about twenty in total.
However, the number of people from other races also didn't appear to be much greater.
Just like the Elemental Clan from the Elemental Race they had seen earlier.
A cluster of individuals from the Elemental Race's Elemental Clan gathered together amounted to only slightly over twenty people.
Although each race didn't have many members, when added together, the total number of people from all these races was quite significant now.
Are all here to compete for the Jasmine?
Jiang Yuan was puzzled.
If that was the case, then the odds of snatching the Jasmine would be significantly reduced.
However, even though the Jasmine is a Purple Quality magical resource, did it really require so many contenders?
What Jiang Yuan didn't know was that this group was indeed here for the Jasmine.
Compared to the Purple Ancient Ginseng, the greatest advantage of Jasmine is that it has no usage restrictions.
And it is also a Purple Quality magical resource.
Whether it's magical resources or cards, White Quality are the most common, with a plenitude of them, and Blue Quality are also plentiful.
But starting with Purple Quality, whether cards or magical resources, they all become rare.
Based on strength, from the First to the Third Realm, the most frequently used cards are of White Quality and Blue Quality.
From the Fourth to the Sixth Realm, the normal use would involve Blue Quality and Purple Quality cards.
From the Seventh to the Ninth Realm, the usual cards are of Purple Quality and Red Quality.
From the Tenth to the Twelfth Realm, Red Quality and Golden Quality cards are normally used.
The issue is that the higher the card's quality, the more scarce it becomes.
Most entities in the Tenth and Eleventh Realm still primarily use Red Quality cards.
Only a small part of true prodigies possess a Golden Quality card in the Tenth and Eleventh Realm.
And even that level of geniuses requires a certain amount of luck to obtain a Golden Quality card.
As the quality of the card increases, its production difficulty also escalates accordingly.
Materials are hard to find, and the creation process is challenging, which is why higher quality cards are rarer.
