Qi Yu's eyes lit up immediately. She took the storage ring and poured a wisp of spiritual energy into it.

The purple light from the mid-grade spirit stone instantly blinded her.

Qi Yu's expression of being captivated by the spirit stone made Zhu Yu burst out laughing.

"Well, it's alright." Qi Yu composed himself and said seriously, "I'm not a money-loving person."

Everyone: "..."

Qi Yu: "I just like sparkly stones!"

Everyone was speechless.

Wu Qianqian said, "Thanks to you, I've got some extra pocket money."

In this bet, Wu Qianqian also placed a bet of 1,000 low-grade spirit stones on Qi Yu to win, and now 1,000 low-grade spirit stones have become 100,000 low-grade spirit stones.

They actually called 100,000 low-grade spirit stones pocket money...

Qi Yu's lips twitched, realizing she was starting to resent the rich.

The next day, Qi Yu slept until she naturally woke up. When she opened her eyes, it was already noon. After cultivating for a while, Qi Yu took the alchemy furnace that Bai Shu had lent her and headed to the alchemy room.

Along the way, everyone who saw Qi Yu couldn't help but stare at her.

It's quite novel to be treated like a rare animal when you're used to being looked down upon.

When they arrived at the alchemy room, Bai Shu was already waiting inside.

Bai Shu saw her, nodded slightly, and said, "Congratulations. I'm very happy to hear that you won the sword competition."

“But,” he added, changing the subject, “I’m very disappointed that you haven’t come to class for so many days.”

Qi Yu quickly smiled ingratiatingly, "Well, here I am, Commander Bai, don't be angry. I've been refining pills during this time too!"

Yes, he refined a batch of fasting pills, and then continued his frantic sword practice and cultivation.

Seeing that Bai Shu's expression brightened, Qi Yu asked again, "What are we going to refine today?"

Bai Shu glanced at Qi Yu's fawning face and said, "Since Commander Hua rewarded you with a Foundation Establishment Pill, let's refine a Foundation Establishment Pill today as well."

Qi Yu: "..." Teacher, please let me explain. Although the third-grade Foundation Establishment Pill is very appealing, I really didn't skip your class because I was greedy for that one pill!

The classroom gradually filled up, and Bai Shu then said, "Today's elixir is the Foundation Building Pill."

"Although you may not be able to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage, refining Foundation Establishment Pills does not require Foundation Establishment cultivation, so it won't hurt to learn it."

The disciples in the classroom looked blank, clearly having grown accustomed to Bai Shu's way of speaking.

Qi Yu sighed, thinking how incredibly hurtful he was.

"I only have one set of materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill here. If any of you are confident that you can refine it, come and get it from me."

The other disciples remained silent. Bai Shu's favoritism towards Qi Yu was common knowledge, so everyone assumed that these words were meant for Qi Yu.

Qi Yu hesitated. She had seen the method for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill before. To be honest, it wasn't too difficult, but it would take at least a day.

As she hesitated, a pink figure approached Bai Shu.

Xu Shengsheng's gentle voice rang out: "Commander Bai, why don't you let me give it a try?"

Bai Shu glanced at her expressionlessly and said, "Are you confident you can refine a Foundation Establishment Pill?"

"I'm very confident. I wouldn't dare say I'll be able to achieve it, but I'm sure I can."

Bai Shu remained silent, but tossed the package containing the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill to Xu Shen Shen.

Xu Shen Shen took the package and smiled sweetly at Bai Shu, saying, "Thank you for your trust, Master. I will do my best."

Qi Yu looked at the package with some regret, thinking to himself, "As expected, hesitation leads to defeat."

The disciples looked at Xu Shen Shen, then at Qi Yu, and countless scenes of them fighting flashed through their minds.

Xu Shen Shen had a bad relationship with Qi Yu before, and she lost to Qi Yu in yesterday's sword competition. Now that she has stolen Qi Yu's Foundation Building Pill materials, Qi Yu might just use her "Shattered Jade Throwing Pearls" to beat Xu Shen Shen up!

If Qi Yu could hear their inner thoughts, she would surely cry out that she was wronged.

Although she had a grudge against Xu Shen, she was not someone who couldn't distinguish right from wrong. Bai Shu had said that if she wanted something, she should take it. She wouldn't assume that the material was hers just because she was appreciated by Bai Shu. Ultimately, the reason she missed the opportunity because of her hesitation was her own fault.

Qi Yu sighed, took out the jade slip that Bai Shu had given him, and prepared to take a look at the other pills.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a package was thrown onto the table in front of her, and the jade slip in Qi Yu's hand was almost knocked off. She looked up in confusion and saw that Bai Shu was still sitting at the front of the classroom, with no change in expression.

"If I can't refine it, I'll hold you responsible."

Qi Yu: "..."

The onlookers: "..."

Xu Shengsheng looked at the package that was exactly the same as the one in her hand, and a hint of displeasure flashed through her heart.

Qi Yu opened the package, and found a complete set of rare herbs used to refine Foundation Establishment Pills, including Heavenly Spirit Fruit, Golden Sun Grass, and Snow Spirit Mushroom.

The Heavenly Spirit Fruit is an indispensable material for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, but because it only bears fruit once every ten years, and the Heavenly Spirit Fruit tree is always guarded by its companion demonic beasts, it is extremely difficult to harvest. Therefore, Foundation Establishment Pills are expensive and rare.

Hua Nongying went out this time on behalf of the Pill Alliance to search for the Heavenly Spirit Fruit in the Crimson Rui Forest.

Qi Yu walked to the small alchemy room, found a corner, took out the alchemy furnace that Bai Shu had given her, condensed a ball of water with her water spiritual power, and cleaned the alchemy furnace.

Someone noticed that Qi Yu had taken out a pill-refining furnace himself, instead of using the ordinary pill-refining furnace in the pill room, and exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Shen Shen's eyes darkened when she saw the familiar alchemy furnace. It was clearly the alchemy furnace that Bai Shu used when he first came to teach. No wonder she hadn't seen him use it since. It turned out that he had given it to Qi Yu.

Qi Yu didn't care about their reactions. After all, her status as a relative was already confirmed. Besides, the alchemy furnace wasn't given to her by Bai Shu for free, but was borrowed, so no one would believe it.
