Chapter 65

Si Kui looked at her with half-open eyes and said, "Attracting attention."

Li Yang was filled with questions.

Si Kui said quietly, "After you went out, a bunch of people wanted to take you as their personal disciple."

Li Yang finally understood, and she said with a grin, "Teacher, that's not how you use idioms. 'Attracting bees and butterflies' refers to a womanizer, but I'm not womanizer at all. My heart is only for our Agronomy Department!"

Si Kui glared at her. "Smooth talker." However, a smile played on her lips, clearly indicating that she was quite pleased.

Li Yang recounted her experiences in the Star Ash Mystic Realm to Si Kui in great detail.

There are many things she can't tell others, but she can tell her teacher everything at once.

When she got to the parts she was proud of, she didn't pretend anymore; she was practically strutting around like a little smug.

Si Kui listened with great interest, and finally said, "You've had quite a haul this time."

Li Yang said smugly, "Teacher, I've hit the jackpot this time!"

Si Kui's smile faded slightly as she said, "Well, there shouldn't be anything else going on. I plan to go into seclusion for a while."

Upon hearing the word "seclusion, "Li Yang instantly tensed up.

Last time Si Kui said she was going into seclusion, and she and Little Lianxin almost ended up seriously injured...

Li Yang couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, this time...?"

Si Kui said, "Last time I forcibly devoured the Lianxin, which damaged my 'original essence' somewhat, so I need to go into seclusion to recover."

Li Yang's heart tightened again, and she asked, "Is the injury serious? Do you need... um, any kind of recovery pills?"

Si Kui glanced at her casually and said, "Yes, you need one. Go buy a bottle of Eighth Grade- Origin Stabilizing Pill from Li Yao."

Li Yang immediately stood up. "I'll go right now!"

But she couldn't move an inch, because Si Kui froze her in place, saying, "Do you have money? That's why you dare to buy it."

Li Yang said, "I have 50,000 merit points!"

Si Kui deliberately said, "Eighth Grade Spirit Stabilizing Pill starts at 200,000 merit points."

Li Yang felt a wave of dizziness, but she quickly said, "It's alright, I'll go borrow Professor Li's!"

Si Kui stopped teasing her and said, "Alright, I'll just go into seclusion and recuperate. There's no need to waste this money."

Li Yang replied, "Teacher, we should save where we can, but we absolutely cannot skimp on what we shouldn't. Nothing is more important than our health!"

Si Kui felt a warmth in her heart, and her voice became even gentler. "... There's no war going on, why waste this money? It's just a matter of taking a month or two to recover."

Li Yang looked at her suspiciously. "Really? I just need to rest a little longer?"

Si Kui tapped her little head. "When have I ever lied to you?"

"Alright then, teacher, you should continue your seclusion," Li Yang exclaimed again, "You managed to 'earn' 200,000 merit points in just a month or two of seclusion, that's amazing!"

Si Kui chuckled at her words: "Alright, enough with the banter. Hurry back and work on sorting out the Star Ash Soil."

She then looked at Lianxin, who had inexplicably moved her to tears, and transmitted her voice, "Maintain this form for now and protect her."

Little Lianxin quickly stood up and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you, Senior!"

Lianxin was in such poor condition that he could hardly maintain his human form. Only with Si Kui's blessing could he transform into this miniature doll.

He really likes this state of mind, so he wants to thank Si Kui.

Back in her courtyard, Li Yang asked Lianxin, "What did your teacher say to you?"

Little Lianxin said solemnly, "Senior Si Kui cherishes you very much, and she hopes that I can protect you."

Li Yang laughed and asked, "How are you going to protect me?"

Little Lianxin to herself, "If you encounter any danger, I will notify Senior Si Kui immediately!"

Li Yang burst out laughing, "You're really capable!"

[Lifespan Points +10 years.]

Li Yang was amused by him and after a while said, "Alright, alright, we'll have to trouble our capable Lianlian to pour out all the Star Ash Soil."

Once Star Ash Soil arrives in the Huaxia Realm Domain, it can be stored freely in Qiankun Bag.

After working for a while, Li Yang finally managed to move all the Star Ash Soil into his Sycee Qiankun Bag.

Little Lianxin carefully placed Si Kui's gold-plated Qiankun Bag on the table, showing no intention of keeping it for herself.

Li Yang wasn't sure if her teacher was in seclusion or not, but since the whole courtyard belonged to her teacher, it wouldn't be a big problem to put it on the table.

Although only two days have passed in the Huaxia Realm, two months have already passed for Li Yang.

Lying in the soft mattress, she exclaimed sincerely, "Home is the most comfortable place!"

[Lifespan +10 years.]

Li Yang turned her head to look at Little Lianxin beside the pillow and asked him, "Do you also feel comfortable at home?"

Little Lianxin nodded vigorously.

Li Yang habitually put her hands under her pillow and said gently, "Don't worry, I will definitely take you home."

Little Lianxin: "Yes, I know!"

Since becoming Star Wielders, Li Yang has not had any sleep problems.

Even if you can't sleep, you can close your eyes and meditate. This can not only restore your energy, but also allow you to slowly cultivate yourself.

Of course, with her limited talent, she wouldn't be able to achieve anything significant.

Li Yang checked his system panel.

Her Spirit Points and Physique Points were already maxed out, and she had even upgraded the recipe for the Fast-Acting Star Recovery Pill to the limit.

It seems the foundation of this elixir formula is weak; investing years of effort won't make much difference. This proves the saying—if the direction is wrong, all efforts will be wasted.

However, this new formula is much better than the old one.

Li Yang suddenly asked, "Tongzi, can I extract this pill formula?"

System: "Consuming 1000 years of lifespan, extracting the current elixir formula."

Li Yang: "You're really asking for the moon!"

Although Li Yang has a long lifespan now, it would be too wasteful to use it to extract this already surpassed elixir formula.

Li Yang put aside his thoughts and began to plan his Star Skill.

Now that she has two more Star Aperture, she can learn two more Star Skill.

Since I can forget things by spending my life, I'll learn them first and then replace them when there are better ones in the Tree Tower.

Early the next morning, Li Yang went and bought a large number of duplicate Star Core.

There's no way around it; if you forget something, you have to learn it all over again.

Li Yang planned to treat these two Star Aperture as non-fixed Star Aperture, learning them as needed.

Anyway, she's got plenty of life and money now.

Of course, it's also because these Star Skills are non-combat type and very unpopular, so their prices are ridiculously low. For example, this Star Skill - "Efficient Soil Loosening", although it is of blue quality, only costs 100 merit points.

Then there's this Star Skill - "Rapid Watering", which has been sitting there unused for years.

There's an even more bizarre Star Skill – "Wake Up, Seed," which looks like it's been up for decades; the seller probably graduated from the game long ago.

I bet even the seller has forgotten about this bizarre Star Skill...

To my utter surprise, it was bought by someone else today.

After finishing these tasks, Li Yang returned to the small courtyard of the Agronomy Department.

Feng Yiqiao and the other two changed into farm work clothes and asked, "Xiao Li, you know best, we'll follow your arrangements!"

Yu Hongyuan and Fang Chuyun also came. They might not be interested in farming, but they were undoubtedly obedient and good children.

As for Zhong Kun, the young master was still sleeping in, while Lin Zhaoqin had already gone to the combat training camp to burn money and increase his Physique Points.

Li Yang didn't go to find Lin Zhaoqin, but instead dragged Zhong Kun out of bed.

"Get up and get to work!"

Zhong Kun emerged with a messy, disheveled hairstyle, pleading, "Senior sister, we're in the Nature Department, not the Agronomy Department. We don't actually have to go farming, do we...?"

"I understand Nature Department better than you do."

Although Zhong Kun was wailing and howling, he was obedient. He carried his hoe and stood resentfully next to Yu Hongyuan.

Li Yang poured out the Star Ash Soil one by one, telling them, "Be careful to control the Power of Starlight, and try your best to sense the existence of the 'Divine Soil.' Only in this way can you dig into the ground..."

Feng Yiqiao and the other two nodded solemnly and said, "Understood!"

Zhong Kun yawned and asked, "Is it that simple?"

Li Yang smiled and said, "Yes, it's that simple."

However, once he started digging, Zhong Kun realized what it meant to say something sounds simple but is actually difficult!

He understood every word Li Yang said, but putting it into practice was as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Even the experienced trio of farmers were unable to sense the presence of the Divine Soil for a long time.

Among them, Fang Chuyun is the most talented and also the most Fang Chuyun.

She has always been...

It absolutely must be done.

Fang Chuyun applied the same intensity he used in cultivation, focusing intently on controlling the Power of Starlight and striving to sense the Divine Soil that had completely merged into the earth...

Finally, hard work pays off.

Fang Chuyun was the first to make the Divine Soil waver!

Everyone excitedly crowded around, but Fang Chuyun paused for a moment, then looked up at Li Yang and said, "Senior Sister, my Physique Points has increased..."

Li Yang focused her Spirit Points and looked intently.

She squinted and said, "It has indeed increased quite a bit, and... my Spirit Points has also..."

Li Yang wasn't quite sure, but her intuition told her that Fang Chuyun's Spirit Points had also increased in tandem.

This physique is growing at a rapid pace, comparable to the speed at which Lin Zhaoqin spent money to increase his Physique Points in the combat training room!

It's important to know that Lin Zhaoqin's talent far Fang Chuyun's.

If the two cultivate at the same time, Fang Chuyun will be at least 30% slower than her.

Zhong Kun was no longer sleepy. He stared in astonishment at the unremarkable farmland and murmured:

"Is this the special cultivation method of the Nature Department? No wonder it was once the strongest type in Huaxia!"

Digging in the dirt can actually increase your Physique Points!

Zhong Kun got excited too!

Chapter 65

Li Yang hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

Why does nourishing the Divine Soil increase Physique Points and Spirit Points?
