"If you don't have money, don't look for me." Yu Changying maintained a decent and gentle smile.

Zhuge Youlin was still a little obsessed with the mechanical arm. He asked persistently, "How much does it cost?"

Yu Changying raised a finger.

Zhuge Youlin was shocked when he saw this, "One ounce of gold?! Isn't that too expensive?"

Yu Changying's smile almost broke. "It's not one ounce of gold, but one hundred million ounces of gold."

One hundred million taels of gold? !

Even if he sold himself, he wouldn't get that much money.

Zhuge Youlin gave up instantly. He sighed and said, "It's too expensive."

Yu Changying raised his eyebrows slightly.

"With your status, how could you not have 100 million taels of gold?"

"What kind of status do I have?" Zhuge Youlin sighed, and then he said in an unusually firm tone: "If I had so much gold, I wouldn't spend it!"

Yu Changying: “…”

Chen Yan and Jiang Xianyue: "..."

What a miser.

The waiting process is quite boring, so these young geniuses are looking for people they know to chat with.

Chi Yue was wrapped in vines again and fell asleep.

Pei Wu Su held his black sword and closed his eyes quietly to rest.

Xiao Zechuan would occasionally answer questions from people around him, but it was also obvious that he was not a very talkative person.

Qi Lingxuan was surrounded and flattered by several boys and girls, because everyone wanted to make friends with the alchemist so that they could get benefits.

Qiu Yaqian is a very straightforward person, without any beating around the bush. She can chat with strangers very well.

Lu Jing was also talking to some of his friends.

Wen Yuchu didn't say much, because he had an invisible aura and oppressive feeling that made the young people dare not approach him.

Li Buman held a chicken leg in one hand and a pancake in the other, and looked at people with his nostrils while eating.

Zhu Hezhou and Zhu Miaoqing were both seriously injured and were brought here by the Wenxin Palace in a carriage. They have not come down yet because they cannot get up at all.

…

At the same time, in the Western Region College.

Dean Xuanyun and many elders were discussing something, and the discussion was quite heated.

Elder Hong Xian frowned and said, "This year's freshmen are more talented and stronger than last year. I think we should include more freshmen in the Secret Academy and divide them into two teams."

"But, Elder Hong Xian, aren't two teams a bit too many? In previous years, there was only one team."

“This year is different from previous years.”

"The difficulty of these three secret missions is too high. It's better to select only one elite team."

Elder Hong Xian pursed his lips and shook his head: "I still decided that there are many talented people this year, and their performances are also very outstanding. This elder thinks that we can divide them into two teams."

"The most important thing for a team is tacit understanding. With tacit understanding, you can get twice the result with half the effort. Let's see how they team up when the time comes."

"The discussion now isn't about forming teams, but whether this year's freshmen should be divided into one team or two teams?"

In the past, only the top ten freshmen could form a team and join the Secret Academy. However, freshmen could choose not to join, and those who ranked lower could choose to join the team as substitutes.

Dean Xuanyun's face was serious, and he made the final decision: "Let's divide it into two teams."

When the elders heard this, they looked at each other and could only agree.

Unexpectedly, this year will be an exception.

…

As time passed, the agreed time soon arrived.

No one was absent.

Because each of them cherishes the opportunity to enter Western Region College.

They were brought into the Western Region Academy by their instructor.

As for the two brothers and sisters of the Zhu family who were unable to walk, they were carried in on stretchers by the old students of the Western Region College.

They lined up according to their ranking, and soon they saw Dean Xuanyun, Elder Hong Xian and others coming over.

"Welcome to the Western Region College."

The freshmen looked excited.

Dean Xuanyun said slowly: "Before that, I want to announce one thing, which one of you can join the Secret Academy."

The freshmen have all heard about this. It is said that the three major secret missions of the Western Region College can only be completed by the student team of the Secret Academy, and the other ordinary students are not qualified to carry out them.

Because they are carrying out the three major secret missions, their lives may be sacrificed at any time.

Chen Yan's heart moved.

The sooner you enter the Secret Court, the faster you will be able to find out about Shen Huai.

"Next, those whose names I read out can join the Secret Academy as a team. Chen Yan, Pei Wusu, Wen Yuchu, Chi Yue, Yu Changying, Jiang Xianyue, Zhuge Youlin, Xiao Zechuan, Qiu Yaqian, Qi Lingxuan, Lu Jing, Zhu Hezhou, Qi Cang, Huo Baoer, Zu Xinghe, and Zhu Miaoqing."

Sixteen people in total.

The other freshmen whose names were not called felt a little disappointed, but at the same time they couldn't help but envy those whose names were called.

Dean Xuanyun said, "In previous years, we could only select one team, but because your performance this year was exceptional, the academy is making an exception and allowing two teams to enter the Confidential Department."

"Next, you can form teams freely, or you can give up the opportunity to enter the Secret Academy. Because becoming a Secret Academy is like handing over half of your life, but at the same time, you will gain better training resources and your strength will increase faster."

Chen Yan's eyes floated.

At this time, Jiang Xianyue trotted to Chen Yan and said with a smile: "Yan Yan, I want to team up with you."

"Hey, how can you abandon me?" Zhuge Youlin saw this and quickly followed.

Pei Wusu hesitated, and at this moment Qi Lingxuan took the initiative to find him, wanting to team up with him: "Master Pei, I am a fourth-grade alchemist. In a small team, I can definitely play a vital role. And you are good at martial arts, so I want to team up with you."

Pei Wusu remained calm. He was about to speak when suddenly—

"Pei Wusu, want to form a team?"

A familiar female voice was heard, Pei Wusu looked in the direction of the voice and saw Chen Yan looking at him.

Pei Wu Su was shocked. Had she recognized him a long time ago?

When Qi Lingxuan heard that Chen Yan wanted to snatch Pei Wusu from her team, she immediately felt unhappy and had a sense of crisis.

Qi Lingxuan quickly said, "Pei Wusu, I won't team up with them. Among these sixteen people, I'm the only alchemist. You should know how much of a role I can play in the team!"

Jiang Xianyue's charming face was covered with a smile as she said, "Who said you're the only alchemist? I, Jiang Xianyue, am also an alchemist. Although I'm not as good as your fourth-grade alchemist now, I'm still a third-grade alchemist! With me here, I won't just watch our team members die from serious injuries!"

When Zhuge Youlin heard this, he was so moved that he sniffed and said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you so much." He no longer had to spend money to buy elixirs.

Qi Lingxuan's face changed.

Jiang Xianyue is a third-grade alchemist?!
