Chapter 63
Why!
Why do they have that "we've seen it all before, we're used to it, we're numb to it" expression?
Jiang Yuqing belatedly realized what was happening. He turned to look at Li Yang, his mouth moving as he said, "You... you really are... Heavenly Fortune Bearer of the Alchemical Dao Department."
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 1000 points.]
Li Yang is talking to Lianxin.
"Lianlian, is the quality of his pills better than mine?"
"This..."
"To be honest."
"A little bit better."
[Lifespan +50.]
Li Yang's heart softened, and her voice became even softer. "It's okay, I won't be discouraged. I just wanted to make sure Teacher Li could win."
Little Lianxin immediately replied, "Yes!"
The competition among these elixirs is not just about quantity, but also about quality.
Despite Central Capital's numerical advantage, things could change if Jiang Yuqing's pills were of far superior quality.
However, Li Yang had a general idea of what was going on.
The quality of pills refined by the system has always been stable. Li Yang didn't think that his pills would be much worse than Jiang Yuqing's, at most only about 10% worse.
The total number of pills in Central Capital was 900 (the other students also refined quite a few).
Even if the quality is slightly lower, it shouldn't be that much worse than the pills refined by Jiang Yuqing.
Therefore, Central Capital Pill is destined to win.
Chapter 63
Jiang Yuqing had also heard that Li Yang might be Heavenly Fortune Bearer of the Alchemical Dao Department.
However, all the professors at the Star-Slaying Military Academy unanimously believed that this was a smokescreen released by the Zhongdu Military Academy.
First of all, Jiang Yuqing are undoubtedly destined to Pill Dao Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer.
The Heavenly Fortune Bearer of each lineage appear at almost different times, usually with intervals of ten or several decades.
The exact timeframe depends on the energy flow of this meridian.
Of course, it is more difficult to identify those with the Heavenly Fortune Bearer from other lineages, especially those from the Star Wars and Star Magic Department. Many of them are just highly talented Heavenly Chosen, and may not necessarily be those with the Heavenly Fortune Bearer.
Those with Heavenly Fortune Bearer in the Pill Department are easily identifiable by their exaggerated alchemy speed, astonishing success rate, and achievements comparable to an entire alchemy factory...
Even a fool could tell!
Therefore, with Jiang Yuqing already established in Huaxia, it is unlikely that there will be a second Pill Dao Heavenly Fortune Bearer within at least ten years.
This is a consensus among aristocratic families.
This consensus was shattered at this point, no wonder Jiang Yuqing was so shocked!
Jiang Yuqing found it increasingly absurd. Why was Li Yang Heavenly Fortune Bearer in the Alchemical Dao Department? And why would this Heavenly Fortune Bearer in the Alchemical Dao Department join the Agronomy Department?
The more he thought about it, the more unbelievable it seemed. Then, seeing the system constantly popping up messages like "[Shock Points from Jiang Yuqing +10]", he became even more speechless.
Before this, Jiang Yuqing had never known that the system had this function.
Looking at his Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill, Li Yang said, "Your formula is indeed powerful, and the quality of the pill is excellent."
Jiang Yuqing looked at her expressionlessly.
Li Yang smiled slightly and said, "200 pieces, not a single one less."
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points +10 points.]
[Shock Points from Wei Cang +5 points.]
Jiang Yuqing never imagined that one day they would be even more shocked than the people who were shocked by the news.
He was speechless with bitterness, and could only ask resentfully, "Why are you also Heavenly Fortune Bearer of the Alchemical Dao Department?"
Li Yang said, "No, I'm not."
[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points +10 points.]
Jiang Yuqing admired her ability to lie through her teeth, and asked her listlessly, "How many pills did you refine?"
Li Yang smiled and said gently, "I won't tell you."
Jiang Yuqing: "..."
The students from the Pill Department around them all had smiles on their faces.
They remained silent, simply watching Jiang Yuqing.
These gazes made Jiang Yuqing deeply understand what it meant to feel like she had thorns in her back.
Jiang Yuqing could only console herself: So what if she is Heavenly Fortune Bearer of the Alchemical Dao Department? My new formula is Invincibility. Li Yang is not a specialist in alchemy, so she could never have a more advanced formula.
Besides, Central Capital Pill has never really cared about the Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill.
This is one of the strengths of the Star-Slaying Military Academy!
This new formula was finally developed after a long period of research, analysis, and experimentation by the master alchemists at the research institute.
It's impossible for Li Yang to create such a powerful formula out of thin air.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief; he still had a chance of winning.
So what if Li Yang manages to refine 500 Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill?
The quality is definitely not as good as his!
As for the other students in the Pill Department... it doesn't matter, they'd be lucky if they could refine 100 pills together!
Li Yang had a very fruitful trip. She refined a large number of pills herself and also obtained 200 pills from Jiang Yuqing.
This time, conservatively speaking, I can earn 30,000 to 40,000 merit points.
In the past, this was an astonishing number that Li Yang would never have dared to imagine.
Now...
When Li Yang thought about how it would cost 500,000 merit points to buy back the research institute, he felt that the 30,000 to 40,000 merit points were nothing.

Star Ash Mystic Realm.
At 6 PM, the professor in charge of opening the secret realm said, "It's almost ready, send out the notification."
After a while, the mysterious vortex, as ethereal as the starry sky, appeared in mid-air above the secret realm.
The students from the four major combat departments who had been in seclusion for training also emerged one after another.
The secret realm wasn't large, and since everyone was heading in the same direction, they quickly gathered together.
Li Yang spotted Lin Zhaoxia and Zhong Qian with her sharp eyes; with her Spirit Points, she could clearly see their Star Aperture.
Lin Zhaoxia had already filled seven, and although Zhong Qian was a little slower, only about half of the seventh Star Aperture remained.
The other students were also radiant. Most of them were at the Second Grade High Stage, and now their Star Aperture were basically full. They were just waiting to advance to the Third Grade after they went out.
Although these students were not from Heavenly Chosen families, they were all highly talented top students.
The teachers outside the secret location each had their own thoughts.
The professors from the four major combat systems were eagerly awaiting their students' emergence from the secret realm, wanting to see how their cultivation had progressed.
When Lin Zhaoxia out, her mentor couldn't hide his joy and quickly went to greet her.
When Zhong Qian came out, his mentor was also full of satisfaction, stroking his beard and saying, "Good! Very good!"
Overall, the teachers and students of the four major departments were all in high spirits.
Regardless of the progress of cultivation, there will always be some improvement.
This batch of new recruits has a very high probability of advancing to the Third Grade Realm, and next year the Astral Realm Huaxia Army will also receive a fresh influx of blood!
However, the situation is quite different for those Pill Department.
The group from the Star-Slaying Military Academy was large, and the professor leading the group was a very famous figure in Star Slaying Pill).
Professor Jiang, with his white hair and youthful Li Yaowan's old rival.
The two graduated at the same time and have always been rivals.
Now, Professor Jiang has taken on a student of the Heavenly Fortune Bearer, while Li Yaowan... is probably really doomed.
Professor Jiang was full of confidence, just waiting for Jiang Yuqing to come out and shock the whole audience.
She knew that, given Jiang Yuqing's alchemy speed, he would at least produce four or five hundred Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill.
This is a complete slap in the Central Capital Pill Department.
Especially since this Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill is of very high quality, it completely crushes that worthless Realm-Breaking Pill.
Professor Jiang was in a good mood, and even his arch-enemy seemed rather pleasing to the eye.
Li Yaowan was already unkempt and slovenly, and now he seemed completely drained of energy, looking as lifeless as if he had one leg in a coffin.
Li Yaowan had become numb to losing over the years, and if it weren't for Li Yang's appearance, she wouldn't have had any expectations for this trip to the secret realm.
Anyway, this isn't the first or second time I've had my face stepped on.
Especially after her natal alchemy furnace self-destructed, she was constantly being bullied by Old Woman Jiang.
However, that's how people are; if they're constantly disappointed, it doesn't really matter.
But suddenly a light shines, illuminating a seed of expectation, and that seed will sprout new shoots under the nourishment of desire.
Li Yaowan actually understood that Li Yang's chances of winning were slim.
Jiang Yuqing had received formal training, while Li Yang was just cramming at the last minute, and insisted on using a formula for Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill Central Capital Pill wasn't good at...
Even if Li Yang's alchemy speed is astonishing, it's meaningless.
Creating a bunch of inferior pills would be even more shameful.
What Li Yaowan was most worried about was...
This little fox has no interest in alchemy.
After all, for Li Yang, improving his cultivation level was the most important thing.
She finally got the chance to enter the country for cultivation; how could she bear to waste it like this?
Anyone who is devoted to cultivation will be inspired by the vibrant Starlight within the Star Ash Mystic Realm upon entering it.
Even if she just sits down to meditate, with Li Yang's talent, she would instantly enter a meditative state, and when she opens her eyes again, she might already be out of the realm.
Li Yaowan thought about it more and more and felt that it was hopeless.
If she was so dejected, the others at Central Capital Pill were even more listless.
At the Star-Slaying Military Academy, a chubby professor chuckled and said, "Don't be too disappointed, everyone. After all, Heavenly Fortune is a mysterious and unpredictable thing... We didn't expect the Jiang Family to produce another Heavenly Fortune Bearer."
"Yes," another teacher from the Star-Slaying Military Academy chimed in, "Jiang Yuqing was originally just a child from a collateral branch of the Jiang Family. Although he had some talent, there were many children with such talent in the Jiang Family. Who would have thought that he would actually be Heavenly Fortune Bearer in the Alchemical Dao Department? There's nothing we can do about it; he's truly blessed by the Heavenly Star Slaying Pill!"
