Chapter 351 Xuanwu Continent (3)
The two had to go out to practice their physical skills. The lackeys who had been waiting outside the library for a long time saw that the two had finally come out, and they quickly ran to report the news.
"Looks like we need to clean up the trash before we can go work out."
"Forget Worry, private brawls are not allowed within the academy."
"It's alright, there's still the Life and Death Arena. If there's any problem, we can resolve it on the Life and Death Arena."
"Those people are in for a lot of trouble."
"Xiao Tao, you need to cultivate diligently. I will likely participate in the academy's grand competition next year, and we will probably have to part ways then. Before that, you need to have enough self-defense capabilities."
"I know, don't worry!" Xiao Tao was disappointed for a moment, but quickly cheered up.
On their way to the cafeteria, the two saw Gu Qingwan surrounded by her lackeys.
Gu Qingwan looked at Wangyou walking towards her. She couldn't see Wangyou's cultivation level, so she clenched her fists.
"Gu Qingwan, I know you've always wanted to kill me because I killed your parents, but let me tell you, it's impossible. Your parents deserved their fate. If you can't understand that, then I will become your inner demon, and your level nine talent will be wasted."
"Those are my loving and doting parents, how could I possibly let them go!"
"Yes, you know they are your parents who dote on you. The better they treat you, the more ruthless they are to me. I didn't kill you because there is no karmic connection between us. Of course, if you insist on causing me trouble, then next time, I will definitely not show mercy. After all, sometimes it is necessary to nip it in the bud."
Gu Qingwan sensed the fleeting killing intent. She knew she couldn't kill Wangyou, and she knew her talent was inferior to Wangyou's. But how could she forget this deep-seated hatred, and how could she let go of it?
"Forget-Me-Not, can Gu Qingwan see clearly?"
"Of course I can't see her clearly. She's already ruined. Unless she manages to kill me someday, she might never leave Qingling Academy in her entire life," Wangyou said with a slight smile.
"Then why are you advising people to think positively?"
"To kill someone, you must first destroy their spirit!" For someone who was always looking for trouble with her, she was already being quite lenient by not killing them with a single blow.
"Forget it, I'll just focus on my cultivation and try not to hold you back!" Xiao Tao thought for a moment, but couldn't figure it out, so she decided to continue cultivating.
After lunch, the two went to the mission hall to accept a few missions, leaving the academy to earn spirit stones and pick medicinal herbs suitable for refining body-refining pills. Buying them was too expensive, so Wangyou planned to refine them herself.
The time I've spent reading in the academy's library over the past six months hasn't been wasted. Now, whenever I come across a usable herb, I dig it up by the roots.
"Forget-Me-Not, look, isn't that a Grade One Bone Tempering Grass?" Little Peach poked Forget-Me-Not in the grass and whispered.
"It really is! It seems there's more than one plant, a small patch. That's great! With these Bone Tempering Grasses, we can refine Body Refining Pills now." Wangyou rummaged through Chu Wu's pouch and said softly.
"Let's go pick them now!"
"Wait, there are some Swift Rabbits coming over there. Let's catch a few Swift Rabbits first."
The two worked together seamlessly, killing a nest of Swiftwind Rabbits and then harvesting all the Bone Tempering Grass.
Having achieved their goal, the two did not linger any longer, quickly leaving the misty forest and returning to the academy to hand in their mission.
Wangyou carefully reviewed the elements of alchemy, then took out an alchemy furnace and began refining pills.
For the first time, Wangyou was full of confidence in refining medicine, and the result did not disappoint her. She successfully refined a whole batch of pills.
"Xiao Tao, come in quickly and help me pack the pills." Wangyou opened the door and called Xiao Tao, who was guarding outside, in.
As soon as Xiao Tao came in, she saw the furnace full of pills and her mouth formed an "O" shape. Is refining pills so easy? Then why are they so expensive outside?
"Wangyou, we don't have enough jade bottles." The dozens of jade bottles we bought were full, but there was still half a furnace of pills left. "I'll go buy some more jade bottles."
"No need. These pills are enough for the two of us in the early stages of body refinement. We can refine more body tempering pills later. Go and see if there are any senior brothers, sisters, junior brothers, or junior sisters nearby who need body tempering pills."
"Okay, I'll go ask." Xiao Tao got up, put away the portion that Wang You had given her, and then went out to look for someone.
Wangyou put away her share as well, and then did a simple cleaning.
A short while later, Xiao Tao came in with a few people.
"Wow, they really do sell Body Refining Pills! How much are they?"
"They're ten spirit stones each on the market, but I don't have a jade bottle, so they're eight spirit stones each. How many do you senior brothers and sisters want?"
"I want five."
Six.
Eight.
After confirming that it was indeed a top-grade Body Refining Pill, the group immediately took out spirit stones to buy it. However, since they had only recently enrolled in the academy and had limited spirit stones, most of the pills from the half-batch batch remained.
"Junior sister can sell these pills to the Mission Hall to exchange for contribution points."
"Thank you, senior brother." After seeing the group off, Wangyou covered the stove and went to the mission hall.
One top-grade Body Refining Pill costs eight contribution points, which Wangyou exchanged for with the sect, gaining a total of over six hundred contribution points.
Life went on at a leisurely pace, and no one bothered her. Gu Qingwan didn't know if she was scared or what, but she never saw them again after that day.
Besides cultivation, Wangyou also studied alchemy, talisman-making, weapon-making, and array techniques. After the New Year, Wangyou successfully entered the Profound Spirit Realm and reached level three in a month.
After examining Wangyou's cultivation level, the dean agreed to let her apply for the academy's grand competition.
Among the freshmen who enrolled last year, only Wangyou reached the Profound Spirit Realm, while most others are still struggling in the Spirit Entry Realm.
After a series of fierce competitions at the academy, the final list of participants for the Qingling Academy's grand competition was announced, with a total of thirty people, including Wangyou.
Three days later, the dean personally led the team of thirty people to the Xuanwu Empire to participate in the grand competition.
With the five major academies about to begin their admissions process, the Xuanwu Empire has gathered students from all over the continent. Even before the competition has started, the streets are already filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Today, one swordsman becomes famous in Xuanwu City; tomorrow, another rises to fame in a single battle. There's excitement to watch every day.
"Little girl, you're quite composed!" The dean thought that this little girl would definitely participate in various gatherings and make a name for herself in the competition, just like everyone else. But who would have thought that since she came to Xuanwu City, she has never left the house except to eat.
"There's no benefit to becoming famous at this time. Not only will you be easily targeted, but you might also be doomed before the battle even begins. More importantly, it's a waste of energy. A big reputation doesn't guarantee entry into the Five Great Academies. In the end, it all comes down to skill," Wangyou said calmly.
"I've lived for decades and only now understand this principle. You're only seven years old!" The dean exclaimed in surprise. It's rare to find someone so gifted and insightful at such a young age.
"Insights transcend age, but Xuanwu City is indeed teeming with geniuses, a place where hidden talents abound."
"Wangyou, you must do your best in the competition. Just don't enter like you're competing in the academy. In the selection competition for the five major academies, the higher your ranking, the better," the dean said mysteriously.
