Student Great Improvement!

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

Keleradra stood straight, her gaze falling upon the pill without a flicker of expression.

Ye Qiong walked up to her and held out the pill.

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

Keleradra reached out to take the pill, glanced at it, and without further questioning, placed it in her mouth and swallowed.

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

"This one I refined using the Blazing Apricot Delicate. Your Fire-Pattern War Tiger spirit foundation isn't tough enough; this will ignite the ferocity within your tiger soul. Once your spirit evolves, you won't be an ordinary War Tiger anymore."

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 and bared his teeth.

Ye Qiong patted him on the shoulder, then walked over to Jiang Zhu.

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

"Refined from the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma. It stabilizes the foundation, replenishes energy, and increases power. Once your support-type spirit foundation is solidified, 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.

"Looking-Through-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. Your evolution path is the Berserk Wolf."

Finally, Ye Qiong walked over to Bai Chenxiang.

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

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

"This is refined from the Fragrant Silk Immortal Grade. Although it cannot directly increase your speed, after consuming it, your spirit will undergo a mutation. Flying through toxic miasma or various environments will be like gaining poison immunity, which will allow you to be more at ease 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 Ti Bao and I will guard you."

The seven said nothing more, sitting down on the spot and closing their eyes to regulate their breathing.

The plaza fell silent.

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

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

A string of information popped up:

[Name: Wang Sheng. Spirit: Fire-Pattern War Tiger. Power-Attack System. Level: 30.]

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

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

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

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

[Name: Bai E. Spirit: Chaoslana. Power-Attack System. Level: 33 (Physical strength increased).]

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

After reading the information, Ye Qiong withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.

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.

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

Bai E'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.

[Task "Enhance Disciple Aptitude" completed. Reward: 10,000 Star Jade (Base) + 1,000 (City-level aptitude bonus). One special card has been issued to the inventory.]

[Current Star Jade balance: 12,000.]

Ye Qiong felt a surge of joy.

He had originally had one thousand Star Jade left, and adding this eleven thousand, he had 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 tasks released.]

[Task 1: Training Check-in (Deadline: Before the Spirit Master Tournament). Each student's daily successful training check-in rewards 10 Star Jade. Can be stacked.]

[Task 2: Soul Fighting Rank Promotion (Deadline: Before the Spirit Master Tournament). Each student reaching the corresponding rank receives the corresponding reward: Copper—1,000 Star Jade. Silver—5,000 Star Jade. Gold—10,000 Star Jade. 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, checking in every day meant seventy Star Jade, which added up to two thousand one hundred a month!

The Soul Fighting rank rewards were even more exaggerated; a single student reaching the Gold rank would net him ten thousand Star Jade.

And that wasn't even the end of it. Once he pulled a few more Golden Descendants students, the rewards would become even more terrifying.

The system was essentially gifting him a continuous, self-sustaining Star Jade production line.

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

"I have some urgent matters to attend to; keep an eye on them here. Once they have fully absorbed the medicinal power, tell them I have a new training plan to set up this afternoon."

Ti Bao nodded.

"Understood."

As soon as he returned to his office, Ye Qiong locked the door behind him.

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

"Bless me, Xilian, bless me..."

The ritual concluded, he sat back in his chair and opened the Warp interface.

With an excited heart and trembling hands, he hovered over the "Pull X10" button for a second before slamming it down.

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

Purple light.

Skip.

Again!

After that, he rapidly clicked through the pull, skip, pull, skip cycle.

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

"Refreshing!"

Closing the gacha interface, Ye Qiong opened his pull 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 was sitting on a wooden stool at the entrance.

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

He wore a black eye patch over his left eye.

At that moment, two middle-aged men were sitting at a tea stall across the street, chatting as they sipped 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 looked up, their gazes piercing toward the distant Soto City.
