Chapter 30: Administering the Medicine

Once the atmosphere is set right, won't the students all be obedient? And wouldn't the teachers' work become much easier that way?

Suddenly, a blur as swift as a meteor flashed by. The eyes of the eldest and second brothers went dizzy, followed by a series of sharp clicking sounds. Before they could grasp what had happened, they heard a rustling noise and felt a gust of cold wind, causing them both to shiver uncontrollably.

"Darkening" is a form of inheritance—or so the old man said, a hidden legacy. This darkening is actually a type of celestial body, though the old man himself didn't know much about it.

Ye Fan had claimed that his strength surged only because he forcibly devoured the essence blood of a Thunder Qilin, and that he had managed to kill the remnant soul of the Golden Hou only by sheer luck.

"Awesome," he said casually, yet Liu Ruoxue, hearing this, was left completely stunned.

"Let's go, get on!" Seeing the train about to roar past, Ming Yue grabbed Sanji, who was still chattering away, and pulled him onto the train.

Shan Yazhi’s smile faded. She was right; depending on the environment one is in, the standards for measuring strength naturally ought to differ.

It was no wonder Fu Jundie found it hard to believe. A red-hot star of the Xia Kingdom appearing right before her, and at such close range—how could she possibly believe it?

Yu Zhi opened her eyes and channeled her internal energy to spit out the stagnant blood. In truth, she was at the end of her rope; she didn't know how much longer she could hold on if Ji Xingzhong were to attack again.

"Petrification Beam," Bing Huayue whispered. Her Petrification Eye released a terrifying beam of light. What was even more frightening was that the dice were being quite mischievous this time; it finished turning after only half a rotation, and the number it landed on was one.

Back in the office, the words Qingqing had just spoken echoed incessantly in Jiang Zi-xi’s mind.

Perhaps the heavens really are watching and always look after the most honest souls! And so, Xu Chu used his sandbag-sized fists to "shatter" the scissors of both Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. With a joyful expression, Xu Chu spurred his mount, the Spotted Beast, toward the center of the formation to welcome a battle of epic proportions.

The Sixth Senior Brother lit an octagonal lamp and placed it in the courtyard. She wore only a simple, plain-colored undershirt, a wooden hairpin casually pinning her hair. From the gate, looking out from afar, her figure appeared incredibly fragile. Beside her, Chen Yu trembled almost imperceptibly.

I suddenly snapped to my senses. After struggling for a while amidst the shimmering golden light, I spoke cautiously: "...Qingqing... please... stay with me a little longer..." After saying this, I shuddered. That single utterance of "Qingqing" nearly made my own heart jump out of my chest.

"Fine, fine, I'll tell you then!" Better to just tell them; they wouldn't be able to assemble it anyway, and if things didn't work out, perhaps they wouldn't pester me anymore.

I looked back at Kou Manfei, who was still maintaining the cultivation posture from when I had left. If there was any change, it was that wisps of white vapor were now rising from the top of her head.

This feeling was unprecedented, but for them at this moment, it was something they had no choice but to endure.

The patriarch was named Hou Zhi; he was the current head of the Lion Tribe and a man of great importance to whom all demons within the Lion Tribe's territory had to bow.

"Oh, there’s so much! There’s the feathers of a blue bird, snow-red grass, silver-needle leaves, and the purest glacial meltwater from the snow plains. That water acts as a medicinal catalyst, known for prolonging life, promoting blood circulation, removing stasis, and regenerating skin!" I rattled off a long list, bobbing my head; I remembered the treasures of our snow mountain clearly.

Rubbing his eyes to ensure he wasn't seeing things, Qin Yong leaned back against his chair, feeling somewhat defeated, his head still buzzing.

With no news of the Dragon Map Decree anywhere, how could Lu Youzhen have the confidence to resolve the crisis facing the Lu family?

The ancient throne was covered in carvings. Black vortices drifted through a bizarre space where the void surged, sequence blocks arranged themselves into various shapes, and ribbons of light became strange, flowing rivers.

Many people present did not yet know about the medicine. Since they were all relatives and friends, Zheng Yun did not hide anything and described the miraculous medicine in detail.

*Click, click, click.* It took three attempts for this cheap, disposable lighter to finally light the cigarette in his hand.

There were too many unknowns. Lu Youzhen had been emotionally and physically exhausted lately. Furthermore, with no progress in the Northwest and the rebels making a comeback, the region, which had been peaceful throughout the Spring Festival, was in chaos once again. Even the mole they had painstakingly planted in the Moon-Companion Sect had died on the battlefield before achieving anything.

Su Yun and Su Xi would not let her leave; they quietly comforted her, using a mix of cajoling and deception to lead her toward the rockery.

Although Sun Tao earned a decent amount, compared to what was needed, his money couldn't solve any major problems, so they didn't use his investment for the time being.

The Yaoguang Holy Son struggled desperately, employing many methods—including some at the level of a Holy Lord—that the Ruthless Lineage had left him for self-preservation.

However, his beloved, Teacher Han, had urged him at the time that since Zheng Yun trusted him so much, he should work hard and study the relevant knowledge in advance to avoid letting the man down.

"Do they forbid you from doing business?" Su Xi had seen many who styled themselves as high officials and noblemen; they felt no shame in secretly demanding bribes from the Su family, yet when it came to doing business themselves, they acted as if it were a "lowly, vulgar trade," which was truly disgusting.

Qin Feng looked at the puzzled Pang Tong and smiled, saying, "Military advisor, go issue the orders quickly." He couldn't explain it to Pang Tong; he couldn't very well say that historically, Pang Tong became a great general in the Kingdom of Shu.
