Seventh-Rank Pill, Pill Lightning

After dealing with matters in Feng City, everyone returned to the academy and entered a rather long period of rest.

The academy gradually returned to its former tranquility. Students could cultivate as usual, and elders could relax as usual; everything was so peaceful.

But things aren't so peaceful in the Black-Corner Region.

The demise of several top powers not only served as a deterrent to the Black-Corner Region from the Jia Nan Academy, but also provided other powers with opportunities to grow stronger.

While peace reigned within the academy, the Black-Corner Region was engulfed in constant warfare.

Major cities like Black Emperor City and Feng City are home to multiple forces that constantly check and balance each other, vying for power.

However, this group of people tacitly left a buffer zone of at least ten miles around the Jia Nan Academy.

They simply wanted to snatch more meat from their equally matched opponents; they didn't want to be uprooted by the Jia Nan Academy like those other factions.

"Hey, no, you were the one who insisted on having it before. Now that I've given it to you, why are you pushing me away?"

At the academy, Qin Yu was pushed and shoved out of his house by Yun Yun.

"Even if you're going to give it to someone, can you at least be mindful of the boundaries? Like you and Xiao Yi Xian did."

After pushing Qin Yu out, Yun Yun immediately closed the door and sat on the floor, talking to Qin Yu through the door.

"It's been days, have we even gotten out of bed? You really want to be a dad, don't you?"

At this point, Yun Yun began to stammer, and her voice became almost inaudible:

"If you really want to... then tell me in advance so I can be prepared."

"What?"

"It's alright! Go about your business!"

Qin Yu shook his head, puzzled, then turned and left to find Su Qian.

"Phew... I really don't know what this little rascal ate to grow up like this. He's practically ruined the land with all that plowing, and he still has the strength of an ox."

Yun Yun patted her cheeks, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind:

Was Qin Yu pretending not to hear her, trying to tease her, or did he genuinely not hear what she said?

"Alright, let's take this Cloud-Clear Heavenly Wind Pill first."

After thinking for a long time without finding an answer, Yun Yun decided to put the matter aside and first consume the sixth-grade Cloud-Clear Heavenly Wind Pill that she had previously plundered from Feng City.

The Cloud-Clear Heavenly Wind Pill requires a rare Magic Core from Wind Attribute Magical Beast as its ingredient.

Just how rare is it...?

It's probably even harder to find than the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast.

Qin Yu estimated that Han Feng probably obtained the pill directly, rather than refining it himself.

Inside the Grand Elder's office, Su Qian leaned back in her chair, sipping a small sip of warm tea, her mind completely at peace.

Another day of nothing much to do.

But the next second, Su Qian's brows furrowed suddenly, and a bad premonition welled up in her heart.

What's going on? Is something going to happen at the academy?

"Elder!"

Well, it turns out it wasn't the academy that was going to have trouble, it was me.

Su Qian turned her head expressionlessly, meeting Qin Yu's gaze, and sighed heavily.

"Elder, why do you keep sighing for no reason? It's like you really don't want to see me."

"I really didn't want to see you during this time."

Su Qian was just like a corporate slave on vacation who was suddenly asked to work overtime, but he had no reason to refuse.

"How's the expansion of the academy's boundaries going?"

Qin Yu didn't stand on ceremony and sat down casually on the sofa in the room.

Xiao Yi Xian has entered seclusion yet again; Yun Yun has also broken off her relationship with him, leaving him all alone, so he can only turn to Su Qian for help.

You asked where Zi Yan went?

That's a good question, but neither Qin Yu nor Su Qian knew the answer.

The girl left a letter in the room, telling the two not to worry about her, and then quietly slipped away.

"It will be over soon. Those people from the Black-Corner Region are now very afraid of the academy, and they are voluntarily maintaining a distance of more than ten miles at the academy's border."

"In other words, your activity range has expanded by more than ten miles, which should be enough for you to do whatever you want."

"That's enough, I'll head over now. Just remember to take care of the border issue later."

Having received an affirmative answer, Qin Yu did not linger, as the process of refining medicine seemed much more pleasant compared to that of the old man, Su Qian.

In other words, Su Qian didn't know Qin Yu's thoughts, otherwise she would have had a serious talk with him.

"Finally gone! That's great. With those two troublemakers gone, I can finally enjoy some complete leisure time."

Zi Yan and Qin Yu won't bother him for a while; what a wonderful time to rest!

Meanwhile, Qin Yu, after arriving at the familiar desolate mountain, traveled several miles towards the outskirts of the academy.

"Is anyone there?"

But to Qin Yu's surprise, people actually came to this kind of place.

And there were quite a few people there.

Qin Yu stopped in his tracks and extended his soul power forward.

In the woods ahead, a group of people were confronting two students from the academy. The leader of the group was only at the level of an ordinary Dou Emperor.

Those two students were none other than Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er.

Given the timing and the scene, it's not hard to guess what happened.

Qin Yu found an excellent spot and watched the situation unfold, quietly observing the spectacle.

Yeah, Ling Quan is definitely asking for a beating, it's just that he's facing Xiao Yan.

If it were Lin Dong, how could someone like Ling Quan have survived for so long?

If Lin Dong were in charge, the scene would probably look like this:

Little Marten: 20% chance.

Lin Dong: Let's fucking get him!

"Miss, please return to your clan with me as soon as possible. With your talent, spending time in this place with these kinds of people is a waste of your time."

Meanwhile, on Xiao Yan's side, Ling Quan seemed to have sensed the arrival of someone from the Jia Nan Academy and wanted to take Xiao Xun'er away as soon as possible.

Although Xiao Xun'er was reluctant, she knew she had to go back this time.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan embraced Xun'er in front of Ling Quan and whispered a promise.

Seeing this, Ling Quan's jealousy almost burst from his eyes, but Xiao Xun'er was watching him coldly.

If he dares to cause any more trouble, he'll likely face dire consequences when he returns to his clan.

After leaving behind a few sarcastic remarks, Ling Quan took Xiao Xun'er and left Jia Nan Academy.

Xiao Yan gazed in the direction Xiao Xun'er had left, remaining silent for a long time.

"Alright, kid, stop looking. Go back and get your training under control."

"You still haven't grasped the basics of the Six Directions Wandering Body Ruler. What a waste of such a fine Dou Technique."

Xiao Yan knew that Yao Lao was just trying to distract him and help him get back into the flow of cultivation as soon as possible. He nodded silently and walked towards the academy.

"Yeah, this was a satisfying spectacle. I'm so glad I came today, or I would have missed this iconic moment."

Having thoroughly enjoyed the gossip, Qin Yu sat down on the spot, took out the Heaven Suppressing Cauldron, and prepared to begin refining his first Seventh-Rank Pill.

Beside him, Earth Demon Puppet and Human Demon Puppet stood on either side.

From the previous battles, Qin Yu also discovered the special features of this modified Human Demon Puppet.

I wonder if these two puppets will have different approaches to absorbing Pill Lightning?
