Chapter 162 (continued)

Perhaps it can truly lead Huaxia Heavenly Palace out of the shadows and into a bright and splendid future!

Just as everyone was cheering, the beast tide arrived.

Originally, everyone came to support the Nature Department, but they were mostly there to make their presence known.

Now, seeing these massive amounts of Star Core, all they could think was, "Damn beast horde! How dare they try to ruin our precious crops!"

"Protect crops!"

"We swear to protect our crops!"

"Star Combat Division Command, charge! Kill these damned Star Beast!"

"Star Magic Department, go! Blast these blind bastards to death!"

"All members of the Spirit Department, heed my command! Establish a large-scale Spirit Connection and take control of all Star Beast!"

The three Combat Department rushed to the front, while the auxiliary Combat Department behind them were also very anxious.

The Star Support Department wished they could abandon medicine and join the war.

The Star Curse Department didn't care about the cost anymore and charged forward to smash Star Curse.

The Star Formation Department also wanted to set up their formation, but everyone was too powerful. By the time they finished setting up their Star Formation, the battle would be over.

Jiang Yuqing, adhering to the principle of not wasting resources, reminded them, "It's alright. There will definitely be more beast tides in the future, and the Star Formation you set up will come in handy."

The Star Formation Department Star Wielders nodded quickly and said, "That makes sense! From now on, we'll have all the Star Formation in the outer city of the Eastern District!"

Jiang Yuqing chuckled and looked up at Li Yang.

Li Yang nodded approvingly.

[A point of Shock Points from Li Yang.]

Jiang Yuqing's smile froze.

Sister Li, if you're not going to be shocked, then don't be. It's always just a little bit, it's infuriating!

This time, the beast tide in the East District.

The indigenous people of the East District didn't even get to see what the Star Beast looked like before it was all over.

Not to mention the Little Ox family, even Li Yang didn't have time to check which Star Beast had arrived.

The three Combat Department were afraid that Li Yang's plantation would be damaged, so they charged forward more fiercely than the other, and even managed to fight a pretty good coordinated battle.

The Spirit Department controlled all the Star Beast, the Star Magic Department unleashed a barrage of Star Skill, and then the Star Combat Division rushed in, relentlessly finishing off the remaining Star Beast.

Thankfully, the beast tide consisted of mindless ferocious beasts, otherwise they would have died completely bewildered!

The three Combat Department not only wiped out all the ferocious beasts, but also swiftly dragged back the corpses of the Star Beast.

The Star Beast corpses were all neatly piled up, arranged in a square. The team leader earnestly said to Li Yang, "We didn't know if they could be used as fertilizer, so we dragged them all back."

Li Yang: "..."

Jiang Yuqing burst out laughing and said, "What kind of fertilizer is this? It's full of pollutants!"

These Star Beast come from the void of the Astral Realm. The reason they cannot develop intelligence is because they have been too deeply corrupted.

These Star Beast not only fail to drop Star Core, but even the materials on their bodies require further complex processing before any usable parts are even remotely obtained.

That's why the Huaxia Heavenly Palace is so disgusted with the beast tide.

The reason is simply that its economic value is too low; every counterattack is a losing proposition.

However, from now on, the outer city of the East District will no longer need to worry about the beast tide.

It is estimated that in every future beast tide, people from various factions will rush to help quell it.

Without Li Yang needing to say anything, the thought of their crops, which would produce Star Core, possibly being trampled by the beast tide made their hearts bleed.

They wished they could run to the Astral Realm Void and completely sever the source of the beast tide!

After the battle, Li Yang thanked everyone.

Star Wielders, unable to contain his curiosity, asked, "Lieutenant Li, are these Star Core you've harvested... for sale?"

Li Yang smiled and said, "Of course."

Everyone held their breath, watching her intently.

Li Yang continued, "Everyone, don't rush, and there's no need to hoard large quantities of Star Core. Currently, the plantation's output is very stable, especially blue Star Core, which are the most abundant."

Someone else couldn't help but ask, "What about the red Star Core? Is there a red Star Core?"

Li Yang didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "Yes."

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Everyone was still covered in animal blood, and they were so excited that they were waving their arms and legs, their faces full of excited expressions. The scene was quite bizarre!

[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points increased by 2000 points.]

Li Yang added, "Thank you all for your hard work. Go back and rest now; we're about to start a new round of planting."

That's more effective than anything else.

Someone immediately asked, "Do you need any help?"

Li Yang shook his head and said, "People who Nature Department would find it difficult to cultivate this kind of crop."

Everyone who heard this had the same thought, "Damn it, why didn't I choose Agronomy Department!"

Another thought crossed my mind, "Is it too late to change majors now?"

Someone even asked outright, "Um, does the Nature Department accept students? Minor disciples are fine too!"

Li Yang smiled without saying a word, only saying, "Everyone, please go back. The sooner we plant the Star Plant, the faster we can produce Star Core."

The words were phrased tactfully, but the refusal was quite clear.

Li Yang does not want to recruit auxiliary disciples for the time being.

Too many people will cause chaos, Nature Department now.

Senior students have already started recruiting at the Zhongdu Military Academy. If they can produce good students, the talent pool will naturally fill the Nature Pavilion.

Students from the Nature Department who arrive in this way are more reliable and dependable.

Moreover, Li Yang did not want other factions to lose their elites.

They came to the Nature Department for the Star Core, not because they're truly suited to the Nature Department. If they regret it later, it'll only bring more trouble.

Therefore, Li Yang politely declined.

As long as the teacher doesn't leave the seclusion, that's a ready-made excuse.

With no teachers currently in charge of the Nature Department, Li Yang's current experience makes it unsuitable for him to take on disciples.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Li Yang is already at the Fifth Grade Realm, and is even about to break through the Sixth Grade bottleneck.

However, the Huaxia Heavenly Palace has very strict requirements for its instructors. Not only must they have a high level of cultivation, but they must also have enough years of Huaxia age.

Not counting the hundreds of years of seclusion in the minor realm.

Only those over thirty-five years old in Huaxia can start accepting students.

Li Yang is far too young, so everyone can only watch from the Nature Department, wanting to get in but unable to.

They even began to pray. "General Si Kui, please recover quickly and emerge from seclusion!"

Li Yang has already made a good start for Star Core sales; the rest is now in Li Yaowan's hands.

Li Yaowan directly applied to the Marquis of Wind Pavilion and created a separate page in the shop on his identity card, specifically for selling Nature Department Star Core.

Within the first hour of its release, the Star Wielders of the Huaxia Heavenly Palace began a frenzy of buying it.

They quickly realized that there was no need to rob at all.

"Damn! This inventory is way too much!"

"I never imagined that one day I would be able to buy so many purple Star Core without having to make an appointment, wait in line, or pull strings!"

Many of the Star Wielders in the Huaxia Heavenly Palace have accumulated a large amount of merit points. They are not short of money. However, Star Core of purple quality or higher are difficult to enter the mass market, so even if you have money, you can't buy them.

Now that a large number of Star Core have entered the market, it actually gives Star Wielders somewhere to put their savings.

Li Yang need not worry about disrupting the Star Core market.

Huaxia Heavenly Palace has always been a major weakness in this area.

The largest Star Core trader is Li Yaowan, and there are also several smaller families that mainly deal in Star Core trading.

After Li Yaowan returned to the Eighth Grade Realm Peak, he had already completed the acquisition and merger of it.

They were initially unconvinced, but after learning that the Nature Department could produce a large number of Star Core, they sold them off faster than they could run away.

Selling it will earn you a bunch of merit points, which you can use to invest in other projects.

If we don't sell... we'll be waiting to go bankrupt!

With just the first wave of Star Core sales, Li Yang easily paid off the order payment that Li Yaowan had advanced.

A few days later, Song Jinhuan finally produced 20,000 isolation gowns.

Li Qingchen has already become well-known in the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain.

He gradually adapted to the environment there and, through Naonao's introduction, got to know more about the Lost-Knowledge Sword Spirit.

Perhaps it is because of the harsh environment of the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain that the Lost-Knowledge Sword Spirit are all innocent and naive.

In such harsh conditions, they had no opportunity for socialization and could only find places to hide alone, waiting for rescue that might never come.

Anyone who doesn't have such an innocent and carefree personality wouldn't be able to stay in the Sword Spirit Boundary Domain; those who can't stay will run away, and once they run away... they might be imprisoned in an even darker, more hopeless place.

Immortality is not a blessing, but more like a curse.

With protective suits in place, 20,000 Lost-Knowledge Sword Spirit arrived in the Sand Fruit Realm Domain.

They can move freely within the Sand Fruit Realm Domain as long as they are wearing clothes.

Jiang Yue personally received them.

The two sides had a very pleasant conversation.

However, Li Yang also reminded Jiang Yue to select Sand Fruit Clan who were close to the Lost-Knowledge Sword Spirit.

Compared to the simplicity of the Lost-Knowledge Sword Spirit, the internal affairs of the Sand Fruit Clan are far more complex.

Jiang Yue understood Li Yang's meaning and repeatedly assured him, "I will not allow the Sand Fruit Clan to disturb the noble sword spirits!"

Putting aside the Sword Spirits' reputation in the Astral Realm, the very things they are about to do are enough to make Jiang Yue value them highly.

The Lost-Knowledge Sword Spirit has come to mine the Deep Star Water.

This Deep Star Water is a key element in the development and expansion of the Sand Fruit Realm Domain.

If the Sand Fruit Clan accidentally offends the Lost-Knowledge Sword Spirit and stops them from mining the Deep Star Water, then the Sand Fruit Realm Domain will be in big trouble!

Song Jinhuan also led the Weapon Forging Department to the Sand Fruit Realm Domain.

Although we have fulfilled the order for 20,000 isolation gowns, we still need to build an isolation area.

This is a massive undertaking. It's fortunate that Li Yang has earned a lot of merit points after selling the Star Core; otherwise, he really couldn't afford it.

If Li Yang isn't in a rush, she can take her time.

But Li Yang can't afford to delay.

She didn't know when the Lost Space Society would be held.

It may be soon, or it may take several years, decades, or even hundreds of years.
