Student Great Improvement!

Ye Qiong took out another pill, white as snow, and turned toward Cerydra.

Cerydra stood straight, her gaze falling upon the pill, her expression unmoving.

Ye Qiong walked up to her and handed it over.

"Refined from the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid. It strengthens the foundation and dispels impurities. Your Highness, your soul power foundation is deep; this will help you condense your soul power once more."

Cerydra reached out to take the pill, glanced at it, and without asking any questions, placed it in her mouth and swallowed.

Ye Qiong turned and walked toward Wang Sheng, taking a crimson pill from his bag.

"This is refined from the Blazing Apricot Delicate. Your Fire-Patterned Battle Tiger spirit foundation isn't tough enough; this will ignite the ferocity within your tiger soul. After your spirit evolves, you won't just be an ordinary battle tiger."

Wang Sheng took it with both hands, hot tears of excitement streaming down his face.

"I knew Teacher treated me the best."

He swallowed it in one gulp, but before he could even savor it, a wave of heat surged from his stomach, burning him until he grimaced.

Ye Qiong patted his shoulder, then walked over to Jiang Zhu.

He took out a purple pill and handed it to her.

"Refined from the Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma. It strengthens the foundation and boosts energy. Once your support-type spirit foundation is stabilized, the upper limit of your healing abilities will increase significantly."

Jiang Zhu took the pill, nodded solemnly, and consumed it.

Ye Qiong then took out two more pills and handed them to Jing Ling and Huang Yuan respectively.

"Autumn Water Dew. Your skeleton spirit can shift toward a spirit-based agility-attack direction; seeing things more clearly won't hurt someone who runs as fast as you."

"Dragon Ganoderma Leaf. Your Lone Wolf spirit has an advantage in endurance battles; this will boost your recovery speed and soul power sustainability. The evolution path is toward the Berserk Wolf."

Finally, Ye Qiong walked over to Bai Chenxiang.

Bai Chenxiang had already stood up, her eyes shining as she looked at him.

Ye Qiong fished the last pill from the bottom of his bag.

"This is refined from the Fragrant Silk Immortal. Although it cannot directly increase your speed, after consuming it, your spirit will undergo a mutation. Flying through toxic miasma or fog will be like having natural poison immunity, which will make you more fluid in actual combat."

Bai Chenxiang took the pill and swallowed it with a smile.

After all seven had consumed their pills, Ye Qiong stepped back two paces.

"Everyone sit cross-legged and circulate the medicinal power. Teacher Tribios and I will guard you."

The seven did not say a word, sitting down on the spot and closing their eyes to regulate their breathing.

The plaza fell silent.

Tribios stood beside Ye Qiong, while Ye Qiong stood with his hands behind his back, watching quietly.

Half an hour later, Ye Qiong watched the few who were still sitting on the ground absorbing the energy and tapped his system panel once more.

A string of information popped up:

[Name: Wang Sheng. Spirit: Fire-Patterned Battle Tiger. Power-Attack Type. Level: 30.]

[Name: Jiang Zhu. Spirit: Healing Scepter (Enhanced). Support Type. Level: 30.]

[Name: Jing Ling. Spirit: Skeleton (Mutated: White Bone Spirit Pupil). Agility-Attack Type. Level: 30.]

[Name: Huang Yuan. Spirit: Berserk Wolf. Power-Attack Type. Level: 30.]

[Name: Bai Chenxiang. Spirit: Sharp-Tailed Swift (Mutated). Agility-Attack Type. Level: 30 (Residual medicinal power not fully absorbed).]

[Name: Phainon. Spirit: Chaos-Lan. Power-Attack Type. Level: 33 (Physical strength increased).]

[Name: Cerydra (Caesar). Spirit: Scales of Justice. Support Type. Level: 34 (Soul power condensation complete).]

After reading the information, Ye Qiong withdrew his gaze, satisfied.

Wang Sheng and the others had all broken through to level 30, and Bai Chenxiang still had a portion of medicinal power left in her body, which would allow her to jump even higher when she absorbed her next soul ring.

Cerydra's level had increased by one; although it wasn't much, the quality of her soul power was indeed much more solid than before.

Phainon's level had also increased by one, and his physical strength had improved as well.

At this moment, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Mission to enhance disciple aptitude completed. Reward: 10,000 Stellar Jades (Base) + 1,000 (City-level aptitude bonus). A special card has been issued to your inventory.]

[Current Stellar Jade balance: 12,000.]

Ye Qiong felt a sudden surge of joy.

He had originally had one thousand Stellar Jades left; adding this eleven thousand brought him to exactly twelve thousand.

He suppressed the curve of his lips, preparing to open his inventory to take a look, when the system popped up two new messages.

[Long-term missions released.]

[Mission 1: Training Check-in (Deadline: Before the Spirit Master Tournament). Each student successfully checks in for daily training, reward: 10 Stellar Jades. Can be stacked.]

[Mission 2: Spirit Fighting Rank Promotion (Deadline: Before the Spirit Master Tournament). Each student reaching the corresponding rank receives the corresponding reward: Bronze -- 1,000 Stellar Jades. Silver -- 5,000 Stellar Jades. Gold -- 10,000 Stellar Jades. Purple Gold...]

[Special Note: Long-term missions do not affect the host's ability to accept other missions.]

Ye Qiong's eyes lit up abruptly.

Seven students meant seventy Stellar Jades for daily check-ins, totaling two thousand one hundred a month!

The Arena rank rewards were even more exaggerated; a single student reaching the Gold rank would grant ten thousand Stellar Jades.

And that wasn't all—once he pulled more Golden Descendants students, these rewards would become even more terrifying.

The system was essentially gifting him a continuous production line for Stellar Jades.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiong suppressed the wild joy in his heart, took a deep breath, and turned to look at Tribios:

"I have some urgent matters to attend to; watch over them here. Once they have fully absorbed the medicinal power, tell them I have a new training plan to arrange for the afternoon."

Tribios nodded.

"Understood."

Back in his office, Ye Qiong immediately locked the door.

He washed his hands, rummaged through a drawer for three incense sticks, and bowed three times toward the Statue of Fuli Lian hanging on the wall.

"Cyrene bless me, Cyrene bless me..."

With the ritual complete, he sat back in his chair and opened the Warp interface.

An excited heart and trembling hands.

He hovered over the "Warp x10" button for a second before slamming it down.

The train entered the screen, Pom-Pom appeared, and the doors opened.

Purple light.

Skip.

Again!

After that, he rapidly tapped through the cycle of warp, skip, warp, skip.

When he had spent all twelve thousand Stellar Jades in one go, he finally leaned back in his chair and let out a long breath:

"Refreshing!"

Closing the warp interface, Ye Qiong opened his warp history, and then, he froze.

After a long silence, he let out a sharp, piercing shriek:

"Ah! WCNB!"

He had actually pulled three Golden Descendants!

In Soto City, at a craftsman's shop.

A twelve-year-old boy with green hair sat on a wooden stool at the entrance.

He held a small carving knife in his hand, focused on polishing a piece of wood.

A black eyepatch covered his left eye.

Meanwhile, at a tea stall across the street, two middle-aged men sat chatting while sipping their tea:

"Hey, have you heard? A new academy opened in Soto City called Omphalos."

"Really? Is that academy more famous than Shrek?"

"Who would go to that dump Shrek? You can't even afford the registration fee!"

Hearing this, the carving knife in the green-haired boy's hand suddenly stopped.

Omphalos...

The name made something in his heart tremble, like a string being gently plucked.

He placed the carving knife back into his toolbox, stood up, and walked into the shop.

At the same time, in the Heaven Dou Empire's Haagen-Dazs City and Sylvis City, two figures simultaneously raised their heads, their gazes piercing toward the distant Soto City.
