Li Yang said, "Congratulations."

[Shock Points from Li Yang +1 point.]

Jiang Yuqing thought to herself, "As expected of you, you don't give me an extra bit."

Li Yang was quite happy. She had a lot to do on this trip to the Sword Tomb. She could manage on her own, but having a super "power bank" made her feel really at ease.

Jiang Yuqing's ability to sustain himself with pills is truly remarkable.

I just don't know if there are any suitable medicinal herbs in the Sword Tomb.

After all, their Qiankun Bag are limited, and they can't use them to store medicinal herbs; that would be putting the cart before the horse—it would be better to just bring pills directly.

However, where there is Starlight, there are materials.

Li Yang had also witnessed Jiang Yuqing's alchemy skills.

Other alchemists need fixed formulas for refining pills, but Jiang Yuqing constantly develops new formulas by consuming Shock Points.

If he has enough Shock Points, he could probably use any handful of soil he could find in the Sword Tomb to refine pills.

Li Yang then said, "I was just about to ask you for a favor."

Jiang Yuqing asked, "What's wrong? Are you short of pills again? I'm a little short on cash lately..."

Li Yang understood immediately.

It seems this guy consumed a lot of Shock Points in order to quickly advance to the Fourth Grade Realm.

Just like her obsessive spending on in-game purchases, Jiang Yuqing also spent a lot on in-game purchases related to Shock Points.

Li Yang: "It's not a pill. I need you to deliver a letter to a young man in the Blue Crystal Realm Domain."

Jiang Yuqing: "???"

He was completely baffled, having no idea what Li Yang was up to.

He asked, "The Blue Crystal Realm Domain? How do you still have ties with the Blue Crystal Clan?"

"There's nothing involved," Li Yang said calmly, "I just happened to save the Blue Crystal Realm Domain."

Jiang Yuqing: "!!"

[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 1000 points.]

He'd only advanced to the Fourth Grade Realm; what important matter had this woman gone off to do this time?

How could they so casually save a "world"?

Li Yang didn't want to show off; she mainly wanted to contribute Shock Points to him.

This covers the cost of delivering the mail.

Li Yang explained, "My breakthrough mission is to help them eliminate a Fourth Grade Third Stage Star Plant."

Jiang Yuqing's concern was. "You single-handedly crossed the boundary and killed that Fourth Grade Third Stage Star Plant?"

"Um."

How long did it take?

Five minutes.

"Damn it!" Jiang Yuqing exclaimed anxiously, "Then you've really shocked them!"

My God, that's incredibly Shock Points! He's really lost out.

Fortunately, Jiang Yuqing were unaware of the true nature of the Blue Crystal Soil. If they had known, it wouldn't have been a "huge loss," but rather a painful loss of 10 billion.

Li Yang: "The Blue Crystal Clan is quite interesting. I even made a friend of theirs, and I'd like to send him a letter. Could you help me with that?"

Jiang Yuqing was already using his identity card to search and would soon find out why Li Yang had asked him for help.

"So it's this clan..." Jiang Yuqing said, "Don't worry, the Jiang Family is protecting them. Delivering a message is a very easy thing for me."

What was said unintentionally was taken to heart by the listener.

Li Yang only knew that the Blue Crystal Clan's protection was under the Pill Division, but he didn't really know which family it was under.

So it was the Jiang Family...

It's a pity that Jiang Yuqing isn't a direct descendant of the Jiang Family, otherwise we could have used him to our advantage.

Despite being highly regarded by the Jiang Family, Jiang Yuqing is still just a member of a collateral branch.

He felt no sense of belonging to the Jiang Family, and the Jiang Family was well aware of this.

Therefore, the Jiang Family's emphasis on him was more about his reputation than his actual abilities.

Jiang Yuqing have no problem getting some resources, but if they were to actually ask for the entire Blue Crystal Realm Domain... the Jiang Family would never agree, and would even investigate the matter thoroughly.

Thinking about this, Li Yang felt even more determined not to tell Jiang Yuqing about the Blue Crystal Soil.

However, Jiang Yuqing really likes to associate with the Nature Department...

Li Yang gave some special instructions to everyone in the Department of the Nature Department in his Spirit Sea.

"From now on, please do not mention the Star Plant producing Star Core. Only say that this unexpectedly discovered soil can help the Star Plant retain moisture."

This wasn't just something to be kept from Jiang Yuqing, but from everyone else.

Only when it becomes a habit will it not be exposed. Even in private, within the Spirit Sea, the Agronomy Department must never mention it.

Fortunately, he had Lianxin, and he brought back a large amount of Blue Crystal Soil in one go, enough for the Nature Department to use quietly for a while.

Just be careful when harvesting and collect the Star Core carefully.

Jiang Yuqing received Li Yang's letter, but he was still wondering, "Something's not right. Why would she write a letter to a boy from the Blue Crystal Clan?"

Jiang Yuqing examined the Blue Crystal Clan more closely, and upon seeing their astonishing appearance, he instantly understood.

Could it be...?

Very likely!

You can tell a lot about this guy's taste just by looking at the little doll on Li Yang's shoulder.

Could it be that she has taken a liking to that young man from the Blue Crystal Clan?

[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 250 points.]

Seeing this Shock Points, Jiang Yuqing said unhappily, "Brother Shock, I suspect you're mocking me!"

Of course, like Sister Longevity, Brother Shock is someone who keeps quiet.

Jiang Yuqing thought about it more and more, and they realized that was exactly how it was!

He wouldn't peek at the letters, but he couldn't help but earnestly remind Li Yang, "Sister Yang, cultivation is the most important thing. Don't let these things interfere with your studies!"

Li Yang: "?" What nonsense is this?

Jiang Yuqing didn't say much, only adding, "Remember, there will be no future for humans and demons!"

Li Yang: "..." What is this person making up in their head?

Besides, what kind of humans or demons are there?

Aren't they all Astral Realm beings?

What was said without malice may have been taken to heart by the listener...

But this time, the person "listening" changed from Li Yang to Lianxin.

Lianxin felt inexplicably choked up because of Jiang Yuqing's words.

He couldn't explain why, but he suddenly felt listless and tired.

Li Yang noticed and asked, "What's wrong with Lianlian?"

Lianxin for a moment and said seriously, "They're probably hungry."

Li Yang: "..." This was the first time she had heard Lianxin say he was hungry, but he either ate Star Ash Soil or drank Heavenly Spring Water, neither of which was easy to obtain right now.

Li Yang then asked, "Do you have any other types of soil you like? I'll go get some for you."

[Lifespan +100 years.]

Hearing Li Yang's words, Lianxin Xin inexplicably felt much better. He said, "I'm not that hungry. I could go for hundreds of years without eating and be fine!"

Others might say this as a joke, but Lianxin was simply stating the truth.

"Okay," Li Yang added, "Then you must tell me if you see anything you like. No matter what it is, I'll try my best to get it for you."

She has no clues about the Light of the Divine Sun right now, but she'll have to find out more after she returns from this trip to the Sword Tomb.

[Lifespan +150 years.]

Li Yang: "!"

It has actually "evolved" again.

The single increase in lifespan has evolved from fifty years, one hundred years to one hundred and fifty years.

Lan Yu also wrote back to Li Yang, describing his daily life in the Blue Crystal Realm Domain and how diligently he cultivated, before finally saying, "I will always wait for you."

The letter Li Yang sent him naturally didn't mention Blue Crystal Soil; it only said that she had been doing research in the Nature Department recently and might not be able to visit him in the Blue Crystal Realm Domain for a while.

Even if the letter were sent through Jiang Yuqing's channels, it would still be subject to layers of scrutiny.

Therefore, I can't go into details.

But there's no need to go into details; a letter to Lan Yu will be enough to appease her.

Regardless of whether the Blue Crystal Soil is dangerous or not, as long as the Blue Crystal Clan doesn't touch it, there's no need to panic too much.

During those Heavenly Palace days, Li Yang didn't waste a single second.

She was either harvesting Star Plant or harvesting mutated crops.

The initial batch of mutated wheat and mutated chives ultimately failed to sprout.

Blue Crystal Soil can corrode creatures below the Third Grade Realm.

When the seeds of the mutated crop were first planted, they showed no signs of being corroded, leading Li Yang to believe that the crop might not fall into this category.

However, the mutated wheat and mutated chives were slow to sprout, and by the time they were dug up again, they were already on the verge of death.

This distressed Zhong Kun greatly, and he immediately began a second breeding program.

Unexpectedly, a strange mutation occurred.

These mutated seeds have all turned ice blue... Zhong Kun quickly showed them to Li Yang.

Li Yang squinted, used her spiritual power to observe for a while, and said incredulously, "It seems... she's still alive."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Kun's eyes filled with tears. "It's good that you're alive! It's good that you're alive!"

He looks just like an old father who has been lost and found again.

Lin Zhaoqin grabbed the mutated wheat and said, "Interesting, I'll go plant it and try it!"

The others followed with great interest.

These mutated wheat and leek seeds, which had been "corroded" by the Blue Crystal Soil, actually underwent a second mutation.

The wheat and chives that grew this time were also ice blue.

Especially after the wheat is ground into flour, it even resembles Blue Crystal Soil...

Of course, it only resembles wheat flour; it's made from wheat flour, and after being made into mutated steamed buns... Fang Chuyun and Lü Shunshun ate them and praised them highly.

Both of them possess ice-type Star Skill, and Star Skill are often a reflection of one's own attributes, so their Star Aperture are biased towards the ice attribute.

After a hearty meal, they felt that the Power of Starlight had been restored to a more concentrated and distinctive state.

Lü Shunshun even raised her hand and unleashed a Star Skill, exclaiming in surprise, "The power of my Star Skill... is at least 30% stronger than before!"

Fang Chuyun also tested it, and the effect was even better than Lü Shunshun's, because her talent and Star Skill were stronger than Lü Shunshun's.
