Although Li Yang hadn't known Li Qingchen for long, she had gained some understanding of his personality.

Li Qingchen wasn't that obsessed with elixirs, nor did she like being restrained.

He was just like his image; although he had entered the Buddhist order, he was still unruly and unrestrained.

He didn't value worldly fame and fortune that much, otherwise he wouldn't have given away his Risking Life -saving skills and Light-Condensed Titanium to Li Yang.

Li Yaowan, on the other hand, is clearly the complete opposite of him.

Li Yaowan is obsessed with elixirs and has a grand vision for the Central Capital Pill.

She hoped that Central Capital Pill would surpass Star Slaying Pill, and even more so, that Huaxia pills would become famous throughout the entire Astral Realm.

Li Yaowan was ambitious and obsessed with fame and fortune.

Just like the banner above her office reads, "Money is my mother."

If there's one thing the mother and son have in common, it's their shared honesty.

An honest person who doesn't covet money.

A frank lover of money.

As Li Yang thought about it, she couldn't help but smile.

When she first heard Li Yaowan say those words, she felt quite troubled, wondering how to convey them. She wished she had never met Li Qingchen.

Now, however, I feel that those words are full of a mother's relief.

Li Yang said, "Professor Li asked me to tell you... I'm never going to have anything to do with you again."

Upon hearing this, the big guys from the Nature Department couldn't hold back any longer.

Zhong Kun burst out laughing first, and then everyone else followed suit.

Jiang Yuqing: "..."

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

Fine, he spent half a day giving a long and painstaking speech, but the Shock Points he garnered was less than that of Li Yang's brilliant stroke of genius.

Although Li Yaowan had Li Yang relay these words, Jiang Yuqing was still shocked.

As long as it involves Li Yang, Jiang Yuqing can easily gain Shock Points due to her surprise.

Li Yang smiled and said, "Senior brother, it seems Professor Li has let it go."

If someone else said such things to their own son, it would only prove the mother's anger.

But Li Yaowan was different from the others.

Her words signified that she had let go of her prejudices and would no longer stubbornly impose her own ideals on her child.

Chen Ri suddenly said, "Freedom."

Li Qingchen: "!"

His expression softened, the halo behind his head faded, and his mood returned to calm. "I understand."

Li Yaowan's seemingly insulting remark actually granted Li Qingchen his freedom.

Li Yang then said, "Then why don't you go, Senior Brother..."

Li Qingchen immediately said, "No! I won't go to Central Capital!"

Li Yang: "..."

Li Qingchen's expression became slightly restrained again. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he said, "This is fine. I don't want her to know... what I did for her..."

Li Yang understood; things were getting awkward again.

She thought for a moment, then asked curiously, "Senior, what were your original plans for handing over the Light-Condensed Titanium to Professor Li?"

"I have a friend in the Central Capital black market... I'm going to have him pretend to sell it to her," Li Qingchen whispered. "She loves to hunt for bargains on the black market."

From the very beginning, Li Qingchen had no intention of letting Li Yaowan know about their relationship.

On the black market, prices can be driven down even further.

Li Yaowan might genuinely believe that he was just lucky, that he'd run into a fool who didn't recognize its value, and that he'd gotten Eighth Grade Light-Congealing Titanium for free.

Rome wasn't built in a day, and Li Yang wasn't in a hurry to say anything. She said, "In that case, I'll ask Teacher Shen to pass on a message to Professor Li."

Unlike Shen Binghua and Si Kui, Li Yaowan simply didn't want to come to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace.

You can come anytime if you want.

Li Qingchen immediately said, "Alright, let her come and get it herself."

After saying this, he immediately stood up. "I have something to attend to, I'll be leaving now."

Everyone: "..."

Li Qingchen then instructed Li Yang, "Keep the Light-Condensed Titanium safe. Senior Si Kui fought a great battle with the Divine Venerable, and her Star Weapon must have been damaged. You might need it."

Li Yang didn't stand on ceremony with Li Qingchen and said, "Alright then, if you need anything in the future, just let me know."

Li Qingchen and hurriedly left the Nature Pavilion.

To be more precise, they fled in disarray.

Li Yang hadn't even delivered the message to Central Capital yet, so there was absolutely no way Li Yaowan could be at the Huaxia Heavenly Palace right now...

But Li Qingchen was already like a cat seeing a mouse; he didn't even want to stay in the Heavenly Palace anymore.

Li Yang gained a lot from this trip to the Sword Tomb.

She not only obtained Light-Condensed Titanium, but also other Eighth Grade weapon-forging materials, as well as a large amount of supplies salvaged from the Death Domain.

I wonder if any of these materials can repair the Invincible Shield.

Li Yang's lifespan is too short right now; she simply can't afford to spend any more money.

We can only try them one by one when their lifespan is longer.

Li Yang said to everyone, "Go and cultivate, I'll go contact Professor Shen."

Since the last time they contacted each other, Li Yang has had Shen Shangchi's contact information and no longer needs to bother him.

Li Yang's trip to the Sword Tomb greatly boosted everyone's morale.

Everyone is full of energy and has even more enthusiasm for farming!

They are still using Blue Crystal Soil for planting, so they don't take Jiang Yuqing with them.

Jiang Yuqing had no interest in farming, and he planned to go back to cultivating.

Having accumulated so many Shock Points, he'd better improve his strength.

First, refine a bunch of Body-Tempering Pill to boost your Physique Points!

Then use the Shock Points to fill in the Spirit Points!

Jiang Yuqing felt a strong sense of crisis; he couldn't fall behind and had to keep up closely with Li Yang.

It doesn't matter if your actual strength is slightly lacking.

The only thing that cannot be lowered is one's level of attainment.

There are many places in the Astral Realm where one can get stuck at a certain level. If Li Yang abandons him and goes to explore on his own, Jiang Yuqing will cry his eyes out in the Pill Division.

The appearance of Li Qingchen further fueled Jiang Yuqing's sense of crisis.

Li Qingchen is a Fifth Grade Peak alchemist.

Moreover, his talent is not much less than Jiang Yuqing's.

What if Li Yang chooses to take Li Qingchen with her in the future and not him?

Jiang Yuqing grew increasingly uneasy and said, "Sister Yang, you don't have many Star Recovery Pills, do you? I'll go back and refine two batches for you and bring them over."

Just as Li Yang was thinking about accumulating Star Points to increase his lifespan, Jiang Yuqing's words were like a pillow delivered to a sleepy person, extremely thoughtful.

Before Li Yang nod, Jiang Yuqing added, "You go ahead with your work. I'll put the pills directly into the Nature Pavilion after I've finished refining them."

He can now come and go freely, which is much more convenient for him.

Li Yang: "..."

So thoughtful! It seems Jiang Yuqing has gained quite a bit this time.

The only downside to Li Yang's trip to the Sword Tomb was that she didn't encounter a single Star Plant.

Thankfully, I had Lianlian with me; otherwise, who knows what the outcome would have been?

Li Yang secretly pondered that once he had accumulated enough Star Core, he would sell them and exchange them for a bunch of Star Pure Soil and Heavenly Spring Water.

The Light of the Divine Sun might be difficult to obtain, but these two shouldn't be a problem.

Li Yang composed herself and contacted Shen Binghua.

Shen Binghua responded quickly, coldly saying, "You're back."

"Um!"

Although Shen Binghua's voice was calm, he was still wondering to himself: Could this brat have actually gotten his hands on Light-Condensed Titanium? That's way too advanced.

Li Yang said, "I've found the Light-Condensed Titanium. Could you please ask Teacher Shen to convey my message and have Teacher Li come to the Heavenly Palace?"

Shen Binghua: "..."

Even though she was somewhat prepared, she was still stunned.

Shen Binghua's indifferent voice couldn't hold back any longer, and he asked in surprise, "Are you sure? Is it really Light-Condensed Titanium? Have you been fooled?"

Li Yang said, "I killed an Eighth Grade Star Weapon, and this Light-Condensed Titanium dropped from him. There shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Shen Binghua: "..."

The moment Dean Shen encountered Little Pear Blossom, she abandoned all pretense of elegance; all she could do was roar, "What nonsense are you spouting? What did you kill?!"

"Eighth Grade Star Weapon."

"You..."

Why don't you take a look?

"Hold."

Shen Binghua took a deep breath and said, "Tell me in detail what exactly happened."

Li Yang thought for a moment and asked her, "Is your communication secure?"

Shen Binghua's head was throbbing with pain; he felt that this brat had done more than just this.

What else did you do?

Is it safe?

"... If it's just Light-Condensed Titanium and a Growth-Type Divine Weapon, then it's safe."

Shen Binghua's words were quite interesting.

Her communications could very well be being monitored, but if Li Yang only gained these things from the Sword Tomb, it wouldn't be enough to attract anyone's attention.

However, no matter how knowledgeable Shen Binghua was, he couldn't imagine what Li Yang had brought back.

After considering for a moment, Li Yang said, "I did bring back a Growth-Type Divine Weapon..."

Shen Binghua gasped sharply.

"Alright, alright!" Shen Binghua said, not wanting to hear any more. "I'll contact Li Yaowan for you; she'll go to the Heavenly Palace as soon as possible."

No communication is reliable, and unfortunately Shen Binghua can't go to the Heavenly Palace for the time being, so she has no way of knowing the whole story.

However, she always felt that she was not far from going to the Heavenly Palace.

That brat actually found Light-Condensed Titanium for Li Yaowan.

Then she...

Could we possibly find Ninth Grade Lotus Seed there?

Shen Binghua quickly shook his head, realizing he was indulging in wishful thinking.

Even if we could find that dead child, we wouldn't give her the chance.

Si Kui is still stuck at the Eighth Grade Realm Peak, just one Ninth Grade Lotus Seed away.

Li Yang's heart and eyes are full of her teacher, and once she gets the Ninth Grade Lotus Seed, she will definitely give it to Si Kui.

But once a thought arises, it's hard to suppress.

Shen Binghua couldn't help but start daydreaming again—what if... what if that brat managed to get two?
