Chapter 119 (continued)

For safety reasons, and to ensure the master weapon-forging Master's focus, Li Yaowan would definitely book the entire venue.

This venue alone is worth millions in fees.

Thankfully, Dean Shen maintained his composure, otherwise he would have started swearing again.

Speaking of wealth... the Grandmaster of Alchemy is truly rich!

Li Yang could still sense Shen Binghua's emotions. Although she didn't know the details, she could guess that Shen Binghua was feeling sour.

It's best not to provoke Dean Shen at this time, since she needs her help.

"Teacher Shen, it's like this," Li Yang said in a sweet voice, humbly seeking guidance, "I accidentally bought an ice-type Star Skill called Scythe of Ice, which is an area-of-effect ice spell..."

Hearing her words, Shen Binghua said sarcastically, "Didn't you look down on the Star Magic Department's Star Skill?"

"How could that be!" Li Yang exclaimed. "I didn't have the chance before, so I had to learn the Star Combat Division's Burst-Speed Combo, but actually I really love Star Magic Department Star Skill. Especially ice skills. When Teacher Shen saved me that time, wasn't it an ice shield? It was so cool!"

Shen Binghua: "..." Sycophant.

However, she couldn't help but smile, and her tone softened considerably. "Tell me, what exactly do you want? You can't expect me to teach you how to use Star Skill, can you?"

"I'd like to know how to upgrade my Star Skill."

"Are you kidding me?" Shen Binghua said. "You don't know such a basic thing?"

This is indeed common sense; every Star Wielders knows it.

It's simply a matter of finding enough identical Star Core. After multiple uses, they will automatically stack. Although there's a success rate issue, as long as there are enough, you can basically max it out.

The only difference is that different Star Core have different upper limits.

For example, with a purple Star Core, after three upgrades, it becomes very difficult to upgrade it further.

It's not that it's impossible, but that the energy expenditure would be too high.

If the first three upgrades only require one Star Core each time, then the fourth upgrade will require dozens of star cores.

Therefore, most people will not forcibly upgrade low-grade Star Core.

After all, dozens of purple Star Core can buy a single red Star Core.

Li Yang knew all this, of course. In fact, she didn't need an equivalent number of Star Core to improve; she could just use her life force directly.

However, right now, she's not thinking about simple improvements, but rather targeted improvements.

For example, the Scythe of Ice has been upgraded four times, and its destructive power is sufficient to easily kill Third Grade Star Plant.

The problem is that the scope is not increasing.

Li Yang wanted to expand the scope.

This kind of targeted improvement is a science in itself.

That's why Li Yang sought advice from Shen Binghua.

Li Yang briefly explained her demands.

Shen Binghua gasped, "You've already been promoted four times?"

Li Yang: "That's not important, Teacher Shen. What I want to know is how to expand the scope."

Shen Binghua: "This is very important! Where did you get so many Scythe of Ice?"

Li Yang didn't mind telling her about the Blue Crystal Soil, but the problem was the communicator wasn't secure, so he couldn't say anything. He could only clear his throat and say, "Of course it was bought..."

"Do you have too much money to burn?"

"To be more precise..." Li Yang decided to shift the blame to Li Yaowan, "It's because Professor Li has too much money."

Shen Binghua: "..." So annoying.

Li Yang got some Light-Condensed Titanium for Li Yaowan, and even if that old lady was stingy, she still had to give her a large sum of merit points.

And Li Yang, that spendthrift brat, actually went and relentlessly pursued a purple Star Core...

Seriously... these rich people are so annoying!

Shen Binghua was actually quite poor.

Despite her privileged background and comfortable lifestyle, she has extremely high personal expenses, especially in recent years, where she has mostly paid for the maintenance of the Tree Tower out of her own pocket...

Furthermore, since Shen Binghua is under house arrest at the Zhongdu Military Academy and cannot travel to other Realm Domain, it will be difficult for him to earn a large income.

After 28 years of spending without earning, Shen Binghua's savings were almost gone.

Therefore, she harbors an intense resentment towards the rich!

Shen Binghua said irritably, "Why did you have to pull out such a purple Star Skill? As long as the damage is enough, why does it have to be so wide-ranging!"

Li Yang frankly stated, "This Scythe of Ice is particularly suitable for harvesting Star Plant, but its range is limited. I'd like it to be larger for greater efficiency."

Shen Binghua: "..."Are you out of your mind?! Spending so much money just to harvest Star Plant? This is seriously a bit crazy!

Li Yang coughed lightly. "The specifics... you'll know when you arrive at the Heavenly Palace, but right now I really need the Scythe of Ice to have a wider range. Teacher Shen, do you know how to improve it? If you don't... I'll figure it out myself."

She said this in a pitiful tone.

He acted as if he had no one else to consult but Shen Binghua.

That's true, but she did act quite well.

Shen Binghua felt that this was a trick by a naughty child, but at the same time, he couldn't help but fall for it.

"Alright! Stop overthinking!" Shen Binghua was afraid that she would buy hundreds more and force herself to reach the fifth rank, which would be truly a terminal illness.

Shen Binghua pondered for a moment, then continued, "If you only want to increase the range in one aspect, you need to find Star Skill that have an advantage in this area, and they also need to be of the same attribute. What are some ice-type Star Skill like..."

Li Yang understood and asked, "For example, Blizzard?"

"And then there's the Ice and Snow, the Ten Thousand Ice Arrows Fall, the Ice Seal for Ten Thousand Li..." As he spoke, Shen Binghua deliberately added, "Oh, these Star Skills are too advanced for you to use."

Li Yang: "..." It's obvious that Teacher Shen is in a bad mood; she even tries to take advantage of this little bit.

Shen Binghua also felt that she had lost her elegance, but ever since she met this brat, she had almost forgotten what elegance was.

She felt a secret thrill whenever she could silence Li Yang.

Who cares if it's childish or not!

As long as it works, that's fine!

Li Yang quickly offered her a way out. "Teacher Shen is at the Seventh Grade Peak after all, how could she still remember the purple Star Skill... It's alright, I just need a direction, this is easy to investigate."

Shen Binghua was quite pleased and continued, "If you have enough merit points, feed it with purple Star Skill. At the same time, you must maintain absolute focus, because Star Skill exist in Star Aperture, and Star Aperture belong to you. If your mental strength is strong enough, you can shake the attributes of the Star Aperture, and then you can fuse them to create Star Skill that are more suitable for you."

This is totally useful information!

Li Yang listened very attentively.

Shen Binghua then emphasized several key points and details, before adding, "The Blizzard you just mentioned isn't suitable for enhancing the Scythe of Ice. You need to pay attention to the direction of your Star Skill. If the direction is different, even if you enhance it, your Scythe of Ice will become a mismatched weapon, and some uncontrollable problems may arise, forcing you to forget about it."

For other Star Wielders, forgetting Star Skill is a very troublesome matter.

Especially purple Star Core, which can take decades or even centuries to acquire. Even if one could travel to Realm Domain with faster time flow, it would still be a waste of time, energy, and money.

Li Yang doesn't have this problem.

She can simply forget everything, let alone decades or centuries; even 1000 years is nothing to her now.

Shen Binghua became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, and before he knew it, he had been lecturing her for an hour.

In the end, the communicator reminded me that I didn't have enough money.

The communicator was a two-way billing device, and since Shen Binghua hadn't contacted the people at the Heavenly Palace for a long time, he hadn't bothered to deposit the fees.

Now they've been wiped out in one fell swoop!

Even if Shen Binghua was poor, she wasn't short of money; she was just inexplicably irritable.

She's not even her student, why is she going to all this trouble to teach her?

Besides, there are plenty of great teachers out there, she wouldn't even get a chance.

Shen Binghua's voice softened. "That's fine."

Li Yang smiled brightly and said sweetly, "Thank you, Teacher Shen!"

After the two hung up the communicator, Shen Binghua received a notification that Li Yang had already topped up her communication credits.

"That's unnecessary!" Although he said that, Shen Binghua couldn't help but smile.

Li Yang has finally figured out how to enhance the Scythe of Ice.

This time, I can't rely on spending money to level up; I really need to collect some relevant Star Skill.

Unfortunately, she found out too late, having already sold a large number of ice-type Star Core, some of which could be used to enhance Star Skill.

Li Yang felt it was better to wait and not waste her merits now.

Once she is able to cultivate on a large scale in the Blue Crystal Realm Domain, she will soon be able to harvest a large number of Star Core.

Star Plant grown in Blue Crystal Soil will only produce ice-type Star Core.

Although there are hundreds or even thousands of ice-type Star Skill, the sheer number of Star Core means that Li Yang can always find a suitable Star Skill among them.

There will be enough time to upgrade the Scythe of Ice in a targeted manner later.

Of course, Li Yang hasn't been idle these days either.

Nature Department farming is in full swing.

The efficiency of the Chen Ri was astonishing; after all, it was a growth-type Star Weapon, a true all-rounder.

A half-meter-tall Mecha Doll darted across the shimmering Blue Crystal Soil, swiftly hoeing, sowing, watering, and weeding...

Among them, pest control is the coolest.

Just as the insectoid beast peeked out, the Mecha Doll leaped up, stomped down, and delivered a precise headshot.

Even after watching it many times, Zhong Kun couldn't help but exclaim, "He's so handsome! Where is my Bingbing? I miss him so much!"

Li Yang never released the Masterless Sword.

Actually, releasing dozens wouldn't be a problem; it wouldn't be enough to attract attention from others.

But which dozens exactly were released?

To avoid causing unnecessary chaos, Li Yang decided to wait until she could go to the Blue Crystal Realm Domain before releasing everything at once.

Two weeks passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Yang had not contacted Li Yaowan, for fear of disturbing her.

Li Yaowan didn't send her any messages either, and the two lost contact for half a month.
