Chapter 64 (continued)

Li Yaowan looked at her expectantly. "If you become my personal disciple..."

Li Yang interrupted her with a smile, "Professor Li, why don't you ask my teacher first?"

Li Yaowan was startled and cried out across the distance with a mournful face, "Dean Si, this child is Heavenly Fortune Bearer in the Alchemical Dao Department! Why do you have to confine her to the Agronomy Department? This is a huge loss to the entire Huaxia!"

Si Kui snorted coldly, her voice echoing in the Pill Department's office as if no one else was there. "She is Heavenly Fortune Bearer of the Nature Department."

"But her talent for alchemy..."

"She does have a talent for alchemy, but she has more than just that talent."

Li Yaowan: "!"

Si Kui didn't say much, and that powerful and domineering aura had already disappeared from the alchemy department's office.

Li Yaowan's small eyes darted around, and she said to Li Yang with a mournful expression, "Good child, it doesn't matter where you are, but just remember, the Pill Department is your second home!"

Li Yaowan's character is that of a little old woman, and now she's putting on this pitiful act, looking just like a lonely old woman waiting for her child to come home.

Li Yang couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Alright, Professor Li, I'm very interested in alchemy. I'll do my best to help in any way I can... Of course, I'm poor, so I really can't help for free."

Li Yaowan assured him, "Don't worry, I never mistreat my own people!"

Li Yang took out the Qiankun Bag, which contained five or six hundred pills.

She said to Li Yaowan, "I'll have to trouble you Teacher Li, to help me sell these pills."

Li Yaowan understood her meaning perfectly well and said very sincerely, "... If you sell single-ingredient pills in bulk, the price will usually be lowered. For example, a pill with a market price of 100 merit points will often be reduced to 80 points... As for a pill with a market price of 80 points... it will be reduced even more drastically..."

"Here's what we'll do. You have 586 Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill here. Jiang Yuqing's are of higher quality, but yours aren't much worse, it's just that your formula is different from his..."

In Li Yaowan's heart, Li Yang is the best, so she naturally can't bear to say anything bad about her, and therefore tries to make up for it in these areas.

After a quick calculation, Li Yaowan said, "I'll buy back all 50,000. That way, you can relax. How about it?"

Li Yang's expected merit points were only around 30,000 to 40,000, but she didn't expect Li Yaowan to offer her such a high price...

Li Yang readily agreed, "Alright, then thank you for your hard work, Teacher Li!"

After accepting the pills, Li Yaowan said, "Jiang Yuqing is indeed a remarkable person. The pills he refines, just like yours, are of very consistent quality, almost like they come from an assembly line."

What is said without malice may be taken to heart by the listener.

Li Yang couldn't help but wonder: Could Jiang Yuqing really have a system?

But it's definitely not Longevity System; Li Yang had never heard that Jiang Yuqing needed to harvest exotic plants.

What does his system need to collect?

Li Yang couldn't figure it out.

There's no one else you can ask besides Tongzi about this.

Will the teacher find out?

Li Yang dared not take the risk.

She trusted Si Kui completely and wasn't afraid that the teacher would hurt her.

What Li Yang feared was that she would inadvertently implicate her teacher.

This Longevity System is of a very high rank; neither the teacher nor Little Lianxin can detect its existence.

The Longevity System likely harbors some secrets— Li Yang is already deeply involved and doesn't want to drag her teacher into it as well.

However, if given the opportunity, Li Yang would try to find out more about the Heavenly Fortune Bearer.

Come to think of it, aren't teachers Heavenly Fortune Bearer?

She's already advanced to the Peak Eighth Grade...

Definitely Heavenly Fortune Bearer!

Does the teacher also have a system?

Probably not.

Li Yang gradually began to have some guesses: this so-called Heavenly Fortune must have different manifestations.

For example, for modern people, the easiest thing to accept is undoubtedly a system.

But the teacher lived for so long; when she was young, the internet didn't even exist yet, so the form of this Heavenly Fortune naturally wouldn't be a system.

Thinking of Lianxin's transformation, Li Yang asked, "Tongzi, you weren't also tailor-made for me, were you?"

Just like Lianlian, the Longevity System has simply transformed into a form that Li Yang can better understand.

The system, as usual, pretended to be dead.

-

After Li Yang returned to the Agronomy Department, a group of people surrounded her.

Yu Hongyuan shouted the loudest, "Senior sister, you were so cool! Junior brother is completely in awe." Although he didn't know what happened in the Star Ash Mystic Realm, he had witnessed the massive face-slapping scene after leaving the secret realm.

Zhong Kun retorted, not to be outdone, "Yangzi, well done!"

Fang Chuyun was not talkative, but she looked at Li Yang with a smile, her eyes full of joy.

Lin Zhaoqin had no interest in alchemy; what worried her was, "Senior sister, haven't you wasted the last two months? How many of your Star Aperture have you filled? My sister has already filled all seven of her Star Aperture; I was hoping you could break through before her!"

Yu Hongyuan retorted, "There are plenty of opportunities to cultivate, but such a satisfying chance to slap someone in the face is rare! Besides, they've already bullied us; even if we're not from the Pill Department, we still have to redeem the honor of the Zhongdu Military Academy!"

Li Yang wasn't as sophisticated Yu Hongyuan thought; she was simply... after money.

However, her junior brothers and sisters were all wealthy, which indirectly limited their imagination. They couldn't realize the extent to which their senior sister would go to such lengths for money.

Feng Yiqiao's level is higher.

Although he was a holdout, he was still at the Peak Second Grade Realm.

His spiritual and physical Nature Department and physical, so his Spirit Points is quite high.

Feng Yiqiao narrowed her eyes and said, "Xiao Li, your seven Star Aperture..."

Li Yang nodded and said, "It's all full. Time to break through to the next realm."

Lin Zhaoqin: "???"

Zhong Kun: "!"

Fang Chuyun also looked surprised.

Yu Hongyuan, this junior brother, is incredibly dutiful, already blindly praising her. "As expected of Senior Sister, she manages to balance alchemy and cultivation perfectly!"

Lin Zhaoqin couldn't help but ask, "What happened? Didn't you go to refine pills? How come you have time to cultivate?"

Even if they had never eaten pork, they had all seen pigs run, so they naturally knew how troublesome alchemy was.

Logically speaking, even if Li Yang could dedicate his life to alchemy, he would still need to refine pills non-stop for two months.

Just like Jiang Yuqing, he had no time to cultivate at all because he had to collect and process materials. No matter how short the time for alchemy was, these preliminary tasks could not be omitted.

Li Yang is different; she is not alone.

These preliminary tasks don't depend on alchemy talent, and there's no way to save time using the system, but you can find someone to help you.

Jiang Yuqing were isolated and helpless in the Star Ash Mystic Realm, while Li Yang had more than ten senior students from the Pill Department to help her.

Furthermore, the pills she promised further fueled the enthusiasm of these Pill Department students.

They could only find a few documents a day normally, but for the sake of substantial profits, they would put in extra effort to find documents faster.

Thus, this seemingly impossible task was accomplished through the concerted efforts of everyone.

Yu Hongyuan already knew all this; he had read it on the forum again and again, so his account was probably more detailed than Li Yang's.

Lin Zhaoqin was completely convinced!

Yu Hongyuan then loudly concluded, "Unity is possible! Utilization is possible! This is vision, this is a high level of understanding. Our senior sister is someone who accomplishes great things!"

Li Yang felt extremely uncomfortable upon hearing this, a feeling comparable to when Li Yaowan called her "Li Bao".

"These are all secondary," Li Yang steered the conversation back on track, saying, "My main purpose in going to the Star Ash Mystic Realm this time is for the Star Ash Soil."

The group looked somewhat bewildered.

Even Feng Yiqiao two didn't know, let alone anyone else.

Li Yang shared the information he had gathered during his 716 Research Institute with everyone.

The newcomers were all a bit confused, but Lin Zhaoqin seemed to suddenly realize something and blurted out, "Oh right, we're in the Agronomy Department, we have to farm..."

Her mind was filled with fighting and killing; she had absolutely no interest in farming.

Zhong Kun was quite curious, and he asked with great interest, "What are the benefits of farming?"

Xia Putao proudly declared, "There's money to be made!"

"How much?"

"We can reliably earn 3000 merit points a year thanks to mutated wheat!"

"Only 3000 merit points..."

Zhong Kun's disdainful tone was truly infuriating, but what was infuriating was that he actually had the right to be disdainful.

3,000 merit points are a huge sum for ordinary executors, but for the Heavenly Chosen of aristocratic families, it's just a few months' worth of pocket money.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhaoqin lost even more interest.

Yu Hongyuan was interested in anything Li Yang wanted to do; while Fang Chuyun silently supported him and obediently followed his instructions.

Feng Yiqiao, the most experienced farmer in the Agronomy Department, had his eyes light up after hearing Li Yang's method for cultivating the Divine Soil. He said, "In that case, we can plant other mutated crops next!"

Li Yang: "That's right, the data records the breeding methods for mutated corn and mutated chives!"

Xia Putao exclaimed excitedly, "Mutant chives are great! Does that mean we can harvest a crop every day?"

Li Yang was also full of anticipation. If the chives matured every day, wouldn't her lifespan be inexhaustible and she could harvest them endlessly?

Xia Putao asked her, "Where is Star Ash Soil?" As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to get to work.

Feng Yiqiao said, "No rush. Xiao Li just came out of the Star Ash Mystic Realm, she must be very tired. Let her rest well tonight, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Li Yang didn't feel tired, but she had to go back to her room first and have Little Lianxin take out all the Star Ash Soil.

Li Yang said, "Alright, then we'll continue tending the Divine Soil and planting new crops tomorrow. I'll also go and report to my teacher first!"

When Li Yang returned to the small courtyard halfway up the mountain, she immediately saw Si Kui resting with her eyes closed on a wicker chair.

Li Yang rushed over and said, "Teacher, I'm back!"
