At Tongcheng University, in the teaching building of the School of Humanities and Philosophy, as the bell rang for the end of the last get out of class, students from various classes walked out of their classrooms.
Zhang Yuan and the other classmates had almost all left before he leisurely left the classroom.
By this time, there were hardly any students left in the corridor.
Zhang Yuan took out his phone and made a call to Zeng Xianli.
"Hey, Mr. Zeng, have all the medicinal herbs I ordered arrived?"
"It's all here! I asked several herb farmers for help, and it was quite a struggle to find them all. I'll have someone deliver it this afternoon."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Zeng!"
"No need to thank me, it's nothing."
Zhang Yuan hung up the phone and left the teaching building.
After advancing to the mid-stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, the Alchemy Notes were updated with several new types of pills, namely the Golden Pill, the Body Tempering Pill, and the Primary Burst Pill!
Among them, the Golden Core Pill enhances the energy of cultivators in the Golden Core realm, while the Body Tempering Pill changes the cultivator's innate talent and aptitude. Both are good pills, but both require the cultivator to reach the Golden Core realm to refine.
Zhang Yuan can only refine the basic Burst Pill at present.
The Beginner Burst Pill, when taken by a cultivator at the Meridian Opening Realm, can unleash combat power beyond their level in a short period of time.
The downside is that after the effects of the medicine wear off, the body will be extremely weak and will need to replenish its spiritual energy quickly, otherwise it will cause great harm to the body!
Therefore, when such a pill appeared in the Alchemy Notes, Zhang Yuan immediately contacted Zeng Xianli to prepare and collect the raw materials according to the materials required for refining the Burst Pill as recorded in the pill refining notes.
However, some of the materials needed to refine the initial burst pill are very difficult to find. Zeng Xianli used his connections in the herbal medicine circle and it took him several days to gather all the herbs, and they were quite expensive.
Zhang Yuan isn't worried about money right now.
The 200,000 yuan prize money for the Tongcheng City martial arts competition arrived in the account this morning. According to Zeng Xianli's estimate, the materials Zhang Yuan wants to purchase can be obtained for about 150,000 yuan.
Therefore, once the raw materials are received, we can begin refining the basic burst pill.

In the afternoon, just as the deliveryman delivered the medicinal herbs for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, Zhang Yuan received a call from Chu Mengyao, the branch secretary of the Communist Youth League.
"Zhang Yuan, the scholarship for last semester has been deposited into the bank account you provided. Please check if it's correct. It's 3,000 yuan in total. If the amount is wrong, please let me know."
Chu Mengyao spoke earnestly on the other end of the phone.
Zhang Yuan nodded.
"Okay, thank you, Secretary Chu!"
After hanging up the phone, he opened his mobile banking app and found that there had indeed been a deposit of 3,000 yuan that morning.
Although 3,000 yuan is not much for Zhang Yuan now, he is still very happy.
Walking on the road, my steps became lighter.
By the time I got back to the dormitory, it was almost dark.
When Wangcai saw Zhang Yuan return, it ran upstairs excitedly. But when Zhang Yuan ignored it and even kicked it, it ran off to play on the balcony outside.
Zhang Yuan finished tidying up the medicinal herbs and had just stepped onto the balcony when he saw Zeng Jingxue coming upstairs to find Wangcai.
Wangcai is now a size bigger than the average Shiba Inu. Because of its excess energy, it keeps running around on the balcony. Zeng Jingxue chased after it and called out twice, but Wangcai ignored her. However, when it saw Zhang Yuan come out, Wangcai wagged its tail and ran to Zhang Yuan, rubbing against Zhang Yuan's feet vigorously!
This infuriated Zeng Jingxue.
"That damned dog, all he knows is betraying his own people!"
After a winter break apart, Zeng Jingxue seemed to have become even more beautiful than before. She was wearing a white wool coat and a blue scarf, and her hair was gently swaying in the cold wind.
Zhang Yuan was stunned.
"Hey, why are you staring at her like that!"
Zeng Jingxue blushed and scolded, carefully tidying her long, black hair that was draped over her shoulders.
Zhang Yuan turned his head away and lightly kicked Wangcai's butt: "You damn dog, get out of my way."
To ease the awkwardness.
Zeng Jingxue squatted down, hugged Wangcai tenderly, and complained, "Why did you kick it!" Then she picked up the heavy Wangcai and prepared to go downstairs.
Zhang Yuangang had just received a 3,000 yuan scholarship and was in a good mood. He was thinking of going downstairs to order some barbecue skewers to celebrate when he saw Zeng Jingxue. He remembered that he had gotten a lot of barbecue skewers from the two girls for free last semester, and he felt quite guilty. He tentatively asked, "Shall I treat you to barbecue skewers tonight?"
Zeng Jingxue turned around in surprise and looked at Zhang Yuan, saying, "Why are you treating people to barbecue skewers!"
However, he seemed quite happy.
"It's nothing, I just received a scholarship and wanted to celebrate."
"Okay, okay!"
I'll go call Lily.
Zeng Jingxue happily carried Wangcai downstairs.
Student Street, Uncle Tu's Barbecue Restaurant.
Zhang Yuan led Zeng Jingxue and Chen Li to the entrance of Uncle Atu's barbecue restaurant.
In the cold wind, Zhang Yuan, Zeng Jingxue, and two others stood in front of the barbecue grill at the entrance of the barbecue restaurant, ordering food. Two men in suits and sunglasses walked briskly towards the barbecue restaurant.
The two men in suits stood in front of the barbecue grill, flanking Zhang Yuan from both sides.
"Human cultivator, it's been a long time!"
"finally found you!"
The man in the suit took off his sunglasses, revealing a familiar face. It was Niu Er, who had competed with Zhang Yuan for the championship in the martial arts competition, and his companion.
Zhang Yuan stood in front of Zeng Jingxue and Chen Li, watching Niu Er and Gou San warily.
"What do you need me for?"
The bull demon and the dog demon exchanged a smile and fell silent. Their demonic power erupted simultaneously, and a powerful aura emanated from them!
A powerful aura of the demon race instantly enveloped the entire barbecue restaurant and an area within several meters.
Within the area covered by the demonic power, everyone, including the barbecue restaurant owner, the customers in the restaurant, and even two passersby, fainted at the same time.
As the bull demon and dog demon released their demonic power, Zhang Yuan shielded Zeng Jingxue and Chen Li with his hands. However, the release of the powerful demonic power was too sudden, and Zeng Jingxue and Chen Tingting still fainted.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan finally understood why Niu Er's aura had a familiar feel to it. It turned out that he was not a human cultivator at all; he was a demon!
A powerful demon!
Zhang Yuan had seen the demonic aura emanating from him when he hunted the python demon in the Daxing Mountains!
The demonic power released by the two demon generals at the same time caused the barbecue grill at the entrance of the shop to explode instantly!
The charcoal flames were shooting out in all directions.
Zhang Yuan immediately released his true energy, forming a golden energy shield around Zeng Jingxue and Chen Li, centered on him.
The golden shield blocked the exploding furnace fire, protecting Zeng Jingxue and Chen Li.
The two demons were clearly after Zhang Yuan.
To prevent a major battle from breaking out on the student street and affecting innocent people, Zhang Yuan quickly broke out of the encirclement of the bull demon and dog demon and ran towards the other end of the student street.
Seeing Zhang Yuan break through the encirclement, the bull demon and dog demon assumed he was trying to escape, so they disregarded the situation at the barbecue restaurant and used their demonic movement techniques to quickly chase after him.
...
A few kilometers away from Tongcheng University, there is a wasteland.
The wasteland is overgrown with weeds, and urban construction waste such as bricks and cement is piled up here in a mess, like a small mountain.
After Zhang Yuan ran to the wasteland, he stopped. In an instant, the bull demon and dog demon caught up with him and surrounded him again.
The dog demon, holding an iron chain, sneered, "Not running away anymore?"
"I'm not running anymore!"
Zhang Yuandao.
He was also puzzled as to why these two demons disguised as humans in suits were causing him trouble! Was it because he had defeated Niu Er in the martial arts competition and taken the prize money, so they were seeking revenge?
But it doesn't look like it.
So Zhang Yuan asked in confusion, "Gentlemen, do we have a grudge?"
"No!"
"Then why do you keep chasing me?"
"We have no enmity between us, but unfortunately, you have offended the Demon King of our Flood Dragon lineage. The Flood Dragon Demon King has issued a kill order; if you are found, you must be killed without mercy!"
"That's what the bull demon said."
"The Flood Dragon Demon King? A kill order?"
"When did I offend the Flood Dragon Demon King?"
He'd never even seen what the Flood Dragon Demon King looked like, how could he possibly offend him!
Zhang Yuan couldn't understand and wanted to ask again for clarification, but the bull demon and dog demon had already made their move.
