Chapter 63 (continued)

Professor Jiang chuckled as he looked at Li Yaowan's miserable state, saying, "Old sister, don't be sad. We are all alchemists of Huaxia. Whether it's Central Capital or Star Slaying... whoever rises to prominence is a great blessing for Huaxia!"

Another person chimed in, "Yes, Professor Li, we at Star Slaying bear the heavy responsibility of revitalizing Huaxia medicine, but we also need your assistance. We're just joking around normally; we're all family, so let's not be formal."

Li Yaowan was furious and said coldly, "Since we're family, why don't you give us the improved formula for the Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill?"

Professor Jiang said with a forced smile, "Family members are family, but even mother and daughter need to keep clear accounts."

Li Yaowan exploded. "Jiang Chunhua, I'm your mother!"

The moment the name was revealed, everyone at the Zhongdu Military Academy was taken aback. Who would have thought that this white-haired, youthful-looking professor of the Pill Department would have such a down-to-earth name?

Jiang Chunhua also lost her temper. "Li Yao, what else can you do besides bark? You're a sore loser!"

Li Yaowan: "You're the one who's trash! Jiang Chunhua, you coward! You wimp!"

"Li Yao, you're amazing, so amazing that you even destroyed your alchemy furnace, but what good is that..."

There were other high-ranking professors outside the secret room, and someone immediately came up to persuade them, "Alright, alright, there are a bunch of students here."

We can't really let these two "old sisters" who are a thousand years old combined fight!

Putting aside whether it's shameful or not, the sheer intimidation and power they create when they fight could easily injure the students.

As they spoke, students from the Central Capital Pill Department emerged one after another from the Star Ash Mystic Realm.

They were all radiant, showing no signs of being discouraged; on the contrary, they were as happy as if they had found money.

Some of the more lively students rushed to their teachers as soon as they came out, exclaiming, "Teacher, teacher! We've hit the jackpot! We've really struck gold this time!"

There were no direct relatives of Li Yaowan among the students entering the country this time. When she heard this, she felt a tightness in her chest.

The Pill Department professor quickly reassured his student, saying, "Of course you've made a profit, but don't be arrogant. Remember, there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding."

Little did they know

Interstellar

What's the situation inside the secret realm?

He thought his students were too short-sighted, mistaking the costless alchemy in the secret realm for a windfall.

It's true that they made a profit, but it's still far from making a fortune.

The thought of Central Capital Pill being humiliated in the future made him even more upset.

Several teachers from the Pill Department were distracted as they tried to reassure the students.

The students calmed down, realizing that their teacher was indeed knowledgeable and dismissive of this mere Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill.

Moreover, the teacher is right. There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. If they hadn't witnessed Li Yang's alchemy skills, they would have really thought of themselves as Heavenly Chosen!

Now that they've seen it for themselves, they can't even feel ashamed. All they can think about is that saying, "When one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!"

At this moment, Jiang Yuqing also came out.

The professor from Xingjun Military Academy quickly looked over and saw his calm and composed demeanor. Professor Jiang nodded repeatedly, thinking to himself, "Qing'er has an excellent temperament, neither arrogant nor impatient, possessing the demeanor of a great alchemist."

Jiang Chunhua stepped forward and asked, "Was the trip to the secret realm successful?"

Jiang Yuqing's feelings were extremely complicated, but he couldn't bring himself to explain the whole story. He mumbled, "Teacher, I've refined 500 Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill."

These words caused an uproar in the audience.

Jiang Yuqing did gain a lot of Shock Points, which barely soothed his severely wounded heart.

Jiang Chunhua beamed and said, "Very good! Excellent!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yaowan's vision went black again. What the hell? How did they manage to refine 500 of them?

Jiang Chunhua then said, "Qing'er, why don't you quickly take out the pills so that the professors from the Zhongdu Military Academy can take a look?"

Jiang Yuqing silently handed the Qiankun Bag to the teacher.

Jiang Chunhua did not check the number of pills inside; she only took out a few and distributed them to the teachers at the Zhongdu Military Academy.

Li Yaowan had an amazing eye; he could tell the quality of the Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill at a glance.

Based on market prices, it should be worth at least 100 merit points.

The price of this Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill fluctuates greatly, with the most expensive costing 200 merit points. However, this kind of pill is usually made by Fifth Grade or Sixth Grade alchemists, specifically for the Heavenly Chosen of some top families. Ordinary people cannot afford it or buy it.

Under normal circumstances, a second or Third Grade alchemist who can refine Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill worth fifty or sixty merit points is already considered very excellent.

Jiang Yuqing, standing before them, had actually refined Star Recovery Pill, which was worth 100 merit points on the market.

Such alchemy results are not only due to Jiang Yuqing's exceptional talent, but also to the immense resources invested by the Star-Slaying Military Academy.

They invested a great deal of manpower, resources, and money in the research and development of the Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill, which enabled them to iterate and develop such an excellent formula.

Jiang Chunhua is such a spineless and cowardly person that she's disgusting.

But she was right about one thing: both the Star Slaying and the Central Capital Pill are efforts to revitalize Huaxia.

If this batch of Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill can be produced in large quantities and stably, it can greatly enhance the combat power of Third-Grade Star Wielders.

Li Yaowan felt increasingly uneasy.

Central Capital Pill suffered a humiliating defeat this time.

At this moment, a girl with almond-shaped eyes spoke up, "Teacher, this is nothing!"

Her teacher, knowing her student's escapist tendencies, glared at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

The almond-eyed girl said, sounding aggrieved, "It's really nothing, it's nothing compared to what Li Yang did..."

The professors on Star Slaying's side also heard her voice, but they were full of confidence and thought that the younger generation was just sore losers and making a lot of noise.

Jiang Chunhua then asked, "I wonder how Professor Li's highly regarded student, Li Yang, fared in her alchemy this time?"

What she didn't notice was that Jiang Yuqing stiffened upon hearing those words, and Wei Cang also looked constipated.

Jiang Yuqing said, "Teacher..."

As luck would have it, Li Yang emerged from the secret realm.

She deliberately came out last. Since the air in the Star Ash Mystic Realm was beneficial to Lianlian, she naturally wanted to stay as long as possible.

Lianlian's lifespan is longer when she's in a good mood.

The moment Li Yaowan saw Li Yang, her heart sank into an ice cellar.

It's over.

This little fox really doesn't care about the fate of those in the Pill Department!

That makes sense. Why would they give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cultivate, just to earn a face that the Pill Department is unlikely to win?

If Li Yang is Li Yaowan's personal disciple, then she still has this obligation and responsibility.

But she isn't.

She was just a minor student in the Department of the Pill Department.

Even though she could understand it, Li Yaowan was still furious... Could this brat have failed to refine even a single pill? She'd wasted such a fine Exquisite Furnace!

It's no wonder Li Yaowan was so disheartened; with her level of expertise, she could see through Li Yang's Star Aperture state at a glance.

All seven are full!

Abundant as could be, Li Yang had most likely boosted her Spirit Points as well.

It has to be said that Li Yang is truly gifted; his cultivation speed is astonishing. If we really look into it, he might even be faster than Lin Zhaoxia.

There's only one possibility that Li Yang could fill the Star Aperture.

That is because she was focused on cultivation the whole time and had no time to refine pills.

There's no hope left. It's completely gone.

Li Yaowan originally looked like an 80-year-old woman, but now she's almost 100.

She swayed slightly, too lazy to say anything more, "Let's call it a day."

Li Yang strode forward and smiled sweetly at him, "Teacher Li, my alchemy furnace is broken. Could you replace it for me? It's so easy to use!"

Li Yaowan was stunned. She looked at Li Yang in disbelief. "How could your alchemy furnace break down!"

Li Yang said, "Perhaps it's because he's been refining too many pills, causing excessive depletion? I don't really know."

Li Yaowan stared at her in astonishment. "You... you... you..."

The almond-eyed girl from the Pill Department couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Professor Li, we refined over 900 pills this time!"

The entire audience. "???"

Jiang Yuqing silently lowered her head, her heart bleeding.

If Li Yang had Shock System, how many Shock Points would she have accumulated by now!

Heavens above, earth below, how he longed to be Li Yang!

Li Yaowan's small eyes widened, and her voice became shrill. "What did you say?"

Seeing everyone looking at her, Lü Tiantian proudly puffed out her chest and declared loudly, "Our Central Capital Pill are by no means weak! We refined 900 pills, of which Junior Sister Li Yang refined 777 Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill herself!"

Lü Tiantian was already sweet and lovely, and her voice was also crisp and sweet. When she shouted out, it sounded as melodious as pearls falling onto a jade plate.

The professors of Central Capital Pill listened as if in a dream.

The professors at the Star-Slaying Military Academy also felt as if they were in a dream.

The former felt incredibly comfortable, while the latter felt like they had just had a terrifying nightmare that left them drenched in cold sweat.

Li Yaowan's small eyes gleamed as she looked at Li Yang: "You really refined..."

Li Yang humbly replied, "Those seven hundred-plus Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill weren't made by me alone. My seniors worked hard to collect and process the materials for me. I merely put them into the furnace and refined them into pills."

The more casually she spoke, the more astonished the people present became.

Jiang Yuqing's hearts were riddled with wounds.

He had already admitted defeat.

He didn't care about the reputation of Jiang's Pills; all he felt sorry for was... this huge amount of Shock Points!

The situation suddenly reversed.

The professors at the Star-Slaying Military Academy, were now utterly astonished.

Jiang Chunhua, in particular, stared intently at Li Yang, muttering, "Impossible... this is impossible..."

Li Yaowan no longer displayed the unsteady clumsiness of a centenarian; she moved with the agility of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
