No one would have guessed that this was premeditated; they would have assumed it was a spur-of-the-moment decision made by Li Yaowan in his excitement.

Li Yang had clearly thought of all this, so she followed Li Yaowan to the Pill Division, saying along the way, "Teacher Li, I was just lucky enough to get my hands on Light-Condensed Titanium..."

"Do you know the value of this Light-Condensed Titanium?"

The student does not know.

"Then let me tell you, if you don't give me the Light-Condensed Titanium and instead sell it, you can buy a small Realm Domain!"

Li Yang gasped at just the right moment, feigning surprise.

Li Yaowan patted Li Yang's hand and said, "Good child, don't worry, I, Li Yaowan, will remember your kindness and will never treat you unfairly."

They didn't communicate these things telepathically; they said them directly.

Therefore, all the Star Wielders followed along heard it clearly.

For a moment, no one knew who to envy.

They envied Li Yaowan for having such a thoughtful assistant disciple, and they also envied Li Yang's amazing luck in actually getting an Eighth Grade Light-Congealing Titanium.

But soon, someone pointed out, "This isn't luck! Who would dare to provoke the rulers of the Life Domain and the Death Domain?"

These words calmed most people down.

Li Yang was being modest when he said he was lucky; they shouldn't be so naive as to believe him.

This Nature Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer is truly courageous and resourceful, and quite terrifying!

The headquarters of the Pill Division is quite magnificent.

Although the overall color scheme is the white jade of the Heavenly Palace, the surrounding curtains are all shimmering gold.

At this moment, several elders from the Pill Division were sitting upright in the hall.

When Li Yaowan arrived with Li Yang, the group of people all stood up and quickly went out to greet them.

The high-ranking deputy minister and all the elders treated Li Yaowan with utmost respect.

The two Peak Eighth Grade alchemy Master of the Huaxia Heavenly Palace have absolute authority in the Pill Division.

Li Yaowan didn't waste any words and went straight to the point. "This time, we owe a great debt to Li Yang. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to repair my natal alchemy furnace even after hundreds or thousands of years!"

Several elders from the Pill Division quickly echoed, "Master Li's good fortune is such that he has such an outstanding assistant disciple."

Everyone flattered Li Yaowan subtly and modestly, giving him ample face.

Li Yaowan said, "She's just my assistant disciple; I can't take her Light-Condensed Titanium for nothing..."

Upon hearing this, the elders of the Pill Division tensed up.

Others might not know, but they knew Li Yaowan all too well.

This alchemy Master has always been obsessed with money, and it's rare for him to keep a low profile for nearly 30 years. Now that he's finally back at the top, is he about to go on a money-making spree again?

Li Yaowan said, "Don't worry, I won't need the ministry to pay for it."

The people in charge of the Pill Division visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yaowan changed the subject. "But I don't have any good resources right now. Simply giving Li Yang some merit points would be too meaningless, so..."

Everyone tensed up again.

Li Yaowan did not disappoint them, and immediately declared, "Therefore, I want to purchase the Spirit Shadow Realm Domain and transfer it to Li Yang!"

This is also a rule of the Pill Division.

As Peak Eighth Grade alchemist, Li Yaowan is qualified to purchase the Realm Domain protected by the Pill Division at half price.

Although the Spirit Shadow Realm Domain is expensive, Li Yaowan can actually afford it.

An elder from the Pill Division abruptly stood up and exclaimed, "How can this be allowed! The Spirit Shadow Realm Domain is one of the lifebloods of our Pill Division; how can it be transferred to students from other departments!"

Li Yang: "..."

To be honest, she didn't know where the Spirit Shadow Realm Domain was, but she understood Li Yaowan's tactics perfectly.

Ask for an exorbitant price first, then you can gradually lower it.

Judging from everyone's attitude, this Spirit Shadow Realm Domain is far more valuable than the Blue Crystal Realm Domain.

If Jiang Yuqing were here, he would definitely give himself a huge Shock Points.

He had heard of the Spirit Shadow Realm Domain very well.

One of the special products of Huaxia alchemy is the Soul-Congealing Pill.

This elixir is indispensable for the Fifth Grade Realm Star Wielders, and the amount consumed is enormous.

Upon reaching the Fifth Grade Realm, everyone must engage in intense seclusion, which requires not only a large number of Star-Attracting Pill but also a large number of Soul-Congealing Pill.

There may be Starlight in the small Realm Domain, but there is definitely no Star Soul, which is why this Soul-Congealing Pill is needed to assist in cultivation.

Without a sufficient supply of Soul-Congealing Pill, Fifth Grade Realm Star Wielders simply cannot cultivate in seclusion within a small Realm Domain; and if they were to cultivate in seclusion within the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, the hundreds of years required would be far too long!

The Soul-Congealing Pill from Huaxia Pharmacy is not only in high demand within the country, but is also sold to other Realm Domain.

This is one of the cornerstones of their trade, a foundation that must never be touched.

Li Yaowan's use of the Spirit Shadow Realm Domain immediately startled the elders of the Pill Division.

They were genuinely afraid that Li Yaowan would go mad!

Li Yaowan's mental state is definitely not normal right now.

If it were them, they would also get so excited that they would do outrageous things.

--I thought I was completely hopeless, but I never expected to return to my peak. Even the most composed person can lose their mind!

The elders grew anxious and urged, "Master Li, even if you give the Spirit Shadow Realm Domain to Li Yang, she won't be able to protect it! It will only bring her more trouble!"

"Yes, yes! Those Realm Domain that are at odds with Huaxia have always coveted the Spirit Shadow Realm Domain. Once they find out that the Realm Domain's protection is in the hands of a mere Fourth Grade Realm cultivator, they'll definitely target Li Yang!"

"Master Li, think it over! Aren't you just making enemies for Li Yang for no reason?"

These words clearly swayed Li Yaowan, and she calmed down slightly.

The elders continued to analyze the pros and cons, trying their best to persuade Li Yaowan.

Li Yaowan's expression softened slightly, but he still said unwillingly, "I must buy her a Realm Domain! Merit points are inanimate; only resources are the way to last."

Her words were just like those of a concerned elderly mother, perfectly reasonable.

Just like the elders of the Alchemical Dao Department in front of us, what they leave to their children is not simply meritorious service, but all sorts of businesses.

The Pill Division Controls many smaller Realm Domain.

Among them, the Spirit Shadow Realm Domain is undoubtedly the best, followed by some middle and lower grades.

Someone's eyes lit up, and they said, "Master Li, why not consider the Dragon Bone Realm Domain..."

Li Yaowan scoffed and said, "I've just not been to the Heavenly Palace for the past 28 years, I'm not dead. Do you think I don't know? The Dragon Bone Realm Domain has been overexploited and is now resource-scarce... Why would I spend money to buy it, to use it as a grave for you?"

The man immediately fell silent, cold sweat rolling down his forehead, not daring to breathe.

The other elders also dared not be careless and began to seriously offer advice and strategies to Li Yaowan.

There's no way around it, Li Yaowan is clearly going crazy, and she's actually rich enough to afford to go crazy like this.

If they don't help her make a decision today, they will only suffer greater losses.

Like the Spirit Shadow Realm Domain...

If Li Yaowan simply bought it and kept it for herself, that would be fine, but she actually wanted to transfer it to the Nature Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer...

Absolutely not!

Such an outflow of resources is a severe blow to the Pill Division!

Li Yang quietly watched their discussion from the side.

The Pill Division is truly wealthy and powerful.

The Realm Domain they protect is probably larger than the three Combat Department combined.

Of course, many of these Realm Domain were conquered by the three Combat Department and then sold to other Combat Department.

Running it is too strenuous and a huge waste of energy.

The three Combat Department were primarily responsible for expanding territory.

Seeing that the argument was proving fruitless, Li Yaowan suddenly turned to Li Yang and asked, "Li Bao, which Realm Domain do you want?"

Everyone turned to look at Li Yang.

Li Yang was incredibly intelligent; how could he not understand Li Yaowan's meaning?

This is clearly an attempt to avoid suspicion on her part.

Li Yang immediately lowered her head and said meekly, "Teacher Li, I don't understand these things, I'll follow your instructions."

At this time, Li Yang certainly wouldn't mention the Blue Crystal Realm Domain.

She had to feign ignorance to lower everyone's guard.

Taking over the Blue Crystal Realm Domain is only the first step. Afterwards, they will have to avoid being spied on by others and quietly carry out large-scale planting.

Otherwise, leaking information will only cause unnecessary trouble.

Before removing the thorn in the side of the person behind the scenes, Li Yang will not openly sell Star Core.

Li Yaowan sighed softly and said, "Don't worry, I, this old woman, will definitely not let you suffer any losses."

Thus began a new round of debate.

After a long while, someone finally mentioned the Blue Crystal Realm Domain.

Li Yaowan frowned and said, "The Blue Crystal Realm Domain won't do! This Realm Domain is only at the Third Grade Realm, and it only produces some Blue Crystal Stone, which are of very low value!"

Several elders from the Pill Department immediately realized that this Blue Crystal Realm Domain could indeed be sold...

Just as Li Yaowan said, the specifications of this Realm Domain are relatively low. Although the Blue Crystal Stone produced is relatively stable, the efficiency is very low.

If it weren't for the fact that this Realm Domain is relatively easy to manage, the Pill Division would have wanted to sell it long ago.

Now that Li Yaowan had caused a scene, they felt that the Blue Crystal Realm Domain was very suitable to be transferred to Li Yang.

The elders of the Pill Division exchanged glances, understanding each other perfectly, and began a new round of persuasion.

"Master Li, you've got the wrong idea. I think this Blue Crystal Realm Domain is perfect for Li Yang!"

"Firstly, she's currently at the Fourth Grade Realm, enough to intimidate the Blue Crystal Realm Domain and make it easier for her to manage it herself; secondly, the Blue Crystal Stone produced in this Blue Crystal Realm Domain are very stable and sell very well! Our Heavenly Palace can handle it all internally, so there's no need to sell them to other Realm Domain, which reduces the risk for Li Yang!"

"Yes, yes, the races in the Blue Crystal Realm are docile and not the type to cause trouble. The Nature Department already short-handed; if it were in another small Realm Domain, it would be extremely difficult for Li Yang to manage, and he might even end up losing money!"
