Chapter 118

With Jiang Yuqing gone, only Li Yang and Li Yaowan remained in the Nature Pavilion.

Li Yaowan had composed herself. She didn't inquire about Li Qingchen's matter, but instead focused on what Li Yang had just said.

"Are you worried that someone might ambush Nature Department?"

"Um."

"It shouldn't be that bad..." After calming down, Li Yaowan's mind raced. She quickly considered the current situation of the Nature Department and said, "Your teacher just performed a great service. Even if the person behind it is impatient, they wouldn't dare to attack you now."

Li Yang said, "If we cultivate step by step, he definitely won't be in a hurry, but..."

Li Yaowan's first thought was, "Do you have concrete clues about the person behind this?"

Li Yang shook her head. "No."

"Then you..." Li Yaowan was puzzled as to why Li Yang was suddenly so worried about the person behind the scenes.

Jiang Yuqing were still holding back some of what they just said.

He was clever; he only mentioned that Li Yang obtained the Light-Condensed Titanium after his battle against the Eighth Grade Star Weapon, without going into details of what happened afterward.

For example, Li Yang subdued the Life Domain Overlord, but because he had promised the Life Domain Overlord, he had to bring 27,520 Masterless Sword back to the Nature Pavilion.

This is a very important matter, Jiang Yuqing wouldn't speak carelessly about it.

Only then did Li Yang tell Li Yaowan in detail about Chen Ri and the nearly 30,000 Masterless Sword.

Li Yaowan's emotions, which she had finally managed to calm down, were boiling over again.

Although her hair didn't stand on end, her small, bright eyes were wide open.

"You..." Li Yaowan's abacus spun rapidly at her waist, and in an instant, she gave an answer, "Even if they are all Masterless Sword of the Fourth Grade Realm, your 27,520 swords are worth at least... 100 million merit points!"

Li Yang: "..." Damn, that's a lot of money!

How many Huaxia Currency is 100 million merit points?

She couldn't figure it out!

Li Yang quickly stopped her. "I don't own them. I just promised Chen Ri that I would bring them out and give them freedom."

Li Yaowan blinked her small eyes and muttered, "This freedom you're giving me... is a bit pricey!"

Li Yang added, "Teacher Li! They truly don't belong to me! If I were to recklessly buy and sell them, I wouldn't deserve to be Chen Ri's friend!"

She spoke cryptically, but Li Yaowan understood perfectly.

Although Li Yaowan is a businesswoman obsessed with money, she still has her bottom line and principles.

There are principles to business.

Some money is not worth earning.

Once you step into that trap, there will be no turning back.

Li Yang did not want to possess these Masterless Swords, and at the same time, she was well aware that she could not possess them.

If she really does consider selling them as items, then Chen Ri will rise up with these Masterless Swords.

At that time, Li Yang will lose even more.

Li Yaowan had clearly figured this out as well. She said, "Your idea is good, but settling them in... won't be easy."

At this point, Li Yaowan understood why Li Yang was so eager for her to recover to the Eighth Grade Realm.

Si Kui is still in seclusion.

It would be very difficult for Li Yang to protect these Masterless Swords on his own.

Li Yang cut to the chase. "Teacher Li, can you protect us?"

Li Yaowan was quite confident. She said, "Don't worry, I will repair my natal alchemy furnace as soon as possible. As long as I return to the Eighth Grade Realm Peak, even the Star Book Twelve Marquises will have to give this old woman some face!"

With Li Yaowan's words, Li Yang felt reassured.

But Li Yaowan quickly realized that the timeline was not quite right.

She asked, "Did you already plan to take them away before you went to the Sword Tomb?"

Li Yang always felt very relaxed whenever she communicated with Li Yaowan.

Li Yaowan always sensed it before she could explain in detail.

Li Yang said, "The Masterless Sword was just a side effect; what I really wanted to say was..."

She also told Li Yaowan about her discoveries in the Blue Crystal Soil in detail.

As Li Yaowan listened, her heart pounded so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of her throat.

She couldn't help but pat her chest and say, "Son, I'm getting old, I can't take it that much anymore, next time..."

She had intended to tell Li Yang to finish speaking in one go.

But if Li Yaowan were to say all of these things at once, she would still be so frightened that her heart would break.

Oh my god!

First came 27,000 Masterless Sword, then billions of acres of Blue Crystal Soil capable of growing Star Core...

Compared to these two things, what is mere Light-Condensed Titanium?!

Not worth mentioning!

Li Yang continued, "The Blue Crystal Soil currently belongs to the Pill Division. What I'm thinking is, Teacher Li, could you perhaps acquire the protection rights to this small Realm Domain? I plan to have the Masterless Sword contract the cultivation of the Blue Crystal Soil..."

Li Yaowan: "!!!"

Even though she prided herself on being the number one money earner in Central Capital, she couldn't help but give Li Yang a thumbs up at this moment.

As the saying goes, the new wave pushes the old wave forward, and the old wave dies on the beach.

Li Yaowan truly felt how terrifying this rising star was!

Li Yang finally explained everything clearly. What she was more worried about was whether Li Yaowan.

Li Yaowan clearly knew what Li Yang was thinking. She didn't mince words and frankly said, "If it were just Blue Crystal Soil, I could accept it; if it were just the Masterless Sword, I could accept that too. But these two combined..."

Li Yang wasn't surprised; she was just thinking about whether there were any others she could win over...

Li Yaowan gritted his teeth and said, "I'll do my best, but if you want to be absolutely sure, you'd better find out who's behind this."

Li Yang frowned. She wanted to find out who it was, but the other party was hiding it too well.

Li Yaowan said, "I originally didn't want to say this, I didn't want you to take the risk, but given the current situation, if you don't take the initiative, once our territory expands, this will become a time bomb!"

Li Yaowan Dao Yi crucial clues, but she hadn't told anyone.

She couldn't tell Shen Binghua because Shen Binghua's attitude at the Zhongdu Military Academy was very ambiguous, and no one knew which side she was on.

Li Yaowan couldn't possibly tell Si Kui.

If Si Kui leaves Zhongdu Military Academy, it will only alert the enemy.

Li Yaowan hadn't dared to tell Li Yang before, because Li Yang was still too weak, and if something happened in a moment of impulsiveness, she would regret it terribly.

But now, they have no choice but to accept their fate.

Li Yaowan can take over the protection rights of the Blue Crystal Realm Domain and will also help Li Yang develop the Nature Department.

However, the secret of the Nature Department can produce Star Core is destined to be revealed.

On the surface, Li Yaowan can play coy with the Star Nexus Pavilion, but any aristocratic family that wants to covet it will have to take the open path.

Li Yaowan wasn't afraid to take the open path. The Pill Division wasn't just for show; she had connections. At most, she would have to give up some of her interests, but she could definitely help Li Yang keep the lion's share.

I'm afraid the person behind this might resort to underhanded tactics.

He is the one who fears the development of the Nature Department the most.

If it were just the current scale, he wouldn't be in such a hurry.

But once the Blue Crystal Soil is mined on a large scale, coupled with the contracting of the Masterless Sword... then the Nature Department can rise rapidly!

The person behind that might resort to desperate measures.

I am in the open, the enemy is in the shadows.

If the opponent resorts to any means necessary, the Nature Department has many weaknesses.

Li Yang was also worried about these things, so she wanted to find out the person behind it all as quickly as possible.

There's no such thing as a thief who can be caught a thousand days in the act, let alone a thief who can guard against thieves a thousand days in the act.

If Li Yang wants to develop and expand the Nature Department, he must remove this thorn in his side.

Li Yang asked, "Teacher Li, do you know any clues?"

Li Yaowan pondered for a moment and said, "I Dao Yi very key person who might know something."

How did this person know?

"These are just some of my guesses..." Li Yaowan sighed softly and said slowly, "Twenty-eight years ago, the Nature Department returned triumphantly from Fenglie City. They needed to pass through several transit points to return to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace. The first transit point they went to was the Greedy Wolf Transit Point, and it was there that they encountered the Divine Exalt Daowu..."

Li Yang's heart clenched as she listened, and even her breathing slowed down.

"At that time, all the minor students in Huaxia received a warning from the Nature Pavilion, and several of my disciples were teleporting to the transfer point to prepare for the rescue."

Li Yaowan sighed softly and said, "Although my unfilial son is reckless, he does have some brains. He Dao Yi supplementary students would be of no use, so he came to beg me... to let me lead the Pill Division's personal guards to provide support."

At this point, Li Yaowan's back seemed to hunch even more, and his voice was full of exhaustion. "I was careless at the time, thinking those kids were just fooling around, I never thought the Nature Department would... would..."

Not only Li Yaowan, but everyone was careless.

The Nature Department was too powerful, an invincible force in their minds, especially after their great victory over the Fenglie Clan... No one expected that they would fall on their way home.

By the time Li Yaowan hurriedly went to the Greedy Wolf Transit Point, it was already too late.

She detonated her natal alchemy furnace, but only managed to protect the auxiliary disciples who went to provide support.

Li Yaowan added, "When I led the students to evacuate the Greedy Wolf Transit Point, I unexpectedly discovered a Spirit Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer was completely unharmed."

Li Yaowan looked at Li Yang and said, "I suspect that the person behind this used this Spirit Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer to initiate the Divine Descent Ritual, which is why Divine Exalt Daowu descended upon Greedy Wolf so precisely."

Chapter 118

Heavenly Fortune Bearer with the Spirit Department?

Another Spirit Department.

Before coming to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, Li Yang had a particular fondness for the Spirit Department.

When the Agronomy Department was ostracized at the Zhongdu Military Academy, students from the Department of the Spirit Department repeatedly stepped forward to help them out.

At the Zhongdu Military Academy, there was a resounding slogan. "The spirit of agriculture is one family."

But ever since arriving at the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, Li Yang has gradually become wary of the Spirit Department.

First, there Marquis of Mirror Bamboo, who once occupied the Nature Pavilion. He was a marquis in the Spirit Department and also a supporter of the conservatives.
