When An Ran walked downstairs, she saw Venerable Mo Shang take out a bottle of pills from his space ring and handed it to Xu Errong with a reluctant look on his face.
It seems that in the end, my senior brother won the battle for the elixir. But Master is really something. Why didn't he just give it to me earlier? He had to haggle with me for so long before giving it to me. I'm sure my senior brother must be depressed to death...
Xu Errong rolled his eyes speechlessly, reached out to take the white porcelain bottle from Venerable Mo Shang's hand, took a quick look at it, and put the bottle of pills into his space ring. He was so fast as if he was afraid that Venerable Mo Shang would go back on his word. An Ran was stunned by what he saw!
but……
After collecting the pills, Xu Errong did not go to the restaurant to eat his own food as Venerable Mo Shang had expected, but... still stretched out his hand and placed it in front of Venerable Mo Shang.
Venerable Mo Shang looked at Xu Errong with a look of dissatisfaction. He blew his beard and said, "I've given you all the elixirs you asked for. What else do you want?"
Xu Errong looked at Master Mo Shang speechlessly and said helplessly, "That's not enough! There are only three pills in your bottle, okay? That's too little. Three people can use it once and it's gone!"
Venerable Mo Shang glared at Xu Errong and said, "I know, this is just a one-time pill for you. One pill can last for three days!"
Xu Errong was helpless and couldn't stand it anymore. His master was a bit too stingy. He only gave him three days' worth of pills. What should he do after three days?
Xu Errong rubbed his temples with a headache, looking at Venerable Mo Shang and explaining helplessly, "Master, each pill can only last for three days. According to our plan, and the time for the freshman trial, each person needs to prepare more than a dozen pills. For three people, that's more than thirty, almost forty pills! These three of you..."
"What? How many do you want? Thirty or forty?" Before Xu Errong could finish his words, Venerable Mo Shang roared in shock.
"Do you know how difficult it is for me to refine a pill? Do you know how much materials are consumed by this fourth-grade Shape-Shifting Pill? Do you know how sought-after this fourth-grade Shape-Shifting Pill is outside? Do you know how much this fourth-grade Shape-Shifting Pill sells for?"
Anran rolled her eyes speechlessly, looked at the somewhat irritable Mo Shang Zun and Xu Errong, and walked down from upstairs calmly.
As she walked, she said, "Master, there's nothing we can do about it. You have so many pills in your medicine storehouse, what's wrong with giving us a few?"
Seeing his little disciple coming down, Venerable Mo Shang was about to hug her thighs and cry, but he didn't expect that the first words his little disciple said after coming down were to blame himself. Venerable Mo Shang was angry!
He looked at An Ran and said, "I haven't refined fourth-grade pills for a long time. I don't have much in stock. How dare you want to raid my pill warehouse? Impossible. I can only give you three bottles of pills at most! But..."
Three bottles of pills, that means nine pills? Venerable Mo Shang is putting forward conditions for just nine pills?
Xu Errong looked at Master Mo Shang speechlessly and said calmly, "But what?"
Venerable Mo Shang looked at Xu Errong and smiled sinisterly. Ever since this brat became a fourth-grade alchemist, he'd been running around all day, and his mindset wasn't right, causing his alchemy skills to never improve. He hadn't even refined a complete fourth-grade mid-level pill. His accumulation was already sufficient, but his mindset wasn't right, and he'd almost achieved enlightenment. But now...
Thinking about this, Venerable Mo Shang looked at Xu Errong with a sinister smile and said, "Stinky boy, Jiutian, I will give you nine days' leave. You must refine the Transformation Pill yourself!"
So... this is Master's ultimate goal? To push himself hard, to refine his alchemy skills even further?
Xu Errong couldn't help but feel touched, yet also a little helpless. His master always took many detours to get things done. Although the results were always good, the process was always a little depressing...
He looked at Master Mo Shang with a mixture of laughter and tears, and said calmly, "Okay, within these nine days, I will definitely refine this Shape-Shifting Pill..."
Hmm... that's right, Venerable Mo Shang nodded in satisfaction. Turning around and seeing An Ran still standing there, he frowned and ordered, "I'll also give you nine days off. Any healing pills you need for this freshman trial are all yours!"
Uh, what does this have to do with her...Won't the academy prepare the pills needed for the freshman trials?
She hadn't forgotten the perverted rule in the Alchemist Academy: one medicinal herb for one pill. This was simply forced buying and selling! She was sure you had to buy it...
How much medicinal pills could the academy earn this year? And how much medicinal pills could be used for the freshman trials? Wasn't that enough to prepare for?
Seeing Venerable Mo Shang glaring at her unhappily, An Ran twitched the corners of her mouth and nodded in agreement.
An Yu and Jun Zichen then appeared from somewhere and went to have breakfast with the three of them.
After breakfast, Xu Errong and An Ran each carried a large pile of medicinal herbs and went to the alchemy room in the back. Only Jun Zichen and An Yu followed Venerable Mo Shang to the competition arena to see the results of today's competition.
Nine days had passed in a flash. During these nine days, the freshman tryouts had already concluded, selecting the new ten most influential figures of this class at Orr College, and also revealing the new ten beauties of campus, both beautiful and talented...
During these nine days, the academy, after consultations with the four major families, had already finalized the candidates for the freshman trials. Of course, no one knew that these candidates were secretly manipulated by Venerable Mo Shang...
During these nine days, the college also determined the time for the freshman trials. The whole school was in a carnival. Those students, whether they could participate in the freshman trials or not, were excited about the upcoming trial opportunities.
During these nine days, a strange thing happened in the academy, but it can’t be considered a strange thing, it can only be said to be a bit regrettable!
Among the top 100 students who made it to the freshman selection competition, some had bonded over the competition and had since become close friends. After many exchanges, they seemed to have reached a new understanding and both announced their withdrawal from the competition, secluded themselves in their respective places, and began to cultivate...
Influenced by these two, many people in the academy actually expressed that they had gained some insights from this competition and were planning to go into seclusion to practice...
Originally, gaining insights on the path of cultivation was a great boon to the cultivators themselves, improving their cultivation and a cause for celebration. However, gaining insights during the freshman selection competition, while making one happy for them, also felt a certain amount of regret...
