oard in shock as Donghai University scores two points. Inside the gymnasium, all of Donghai University’s students are cheering for this fantastic slam dunk.As if that wasn’t enough, since Donghai Univ...Chapter 531: The Legendary Alchemy Elder (Please give me votes~~~)
"Ah, really" Hao Ren looked at them in surprise.
The course selection system theoretically allows one to choose any courses from different schools, but if one randomly selects other school's courses, it would result in time conflicts with their own normal schedule and thus be unable to select them.
"Hehehe..." Lu L琳琳 laughed mysteriously at Hao Ren.
Lu 莉莉 blushed and smiled shyly, her curved lips revealing a row of white teeth.
From Lu 莉莉's reaction, Hao Ren confirmed that they had indeed successfully transferred schools. All first-year students are eligible to apply for transferring in the semester’s final exams provided their grade points meet certain standards.
"In twenty minutes, course selection time will end. Please leave the computer room," said the teacher responsible for the computer room.
Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 laughed easily and stood up from their seats, almost hopping with joy towards the exit of the computer room.
The initial intention was to make things easier for them by arranging them in a liberal arts school’s film academy. Unexpectedly, after half a year of effort, they managed to transfer into Hao Ren's college of science and engineering.
Only the Go Club members remained in the computer room; all other students had left. A new group lined up outside waiting for their turn inside.
Zhao Yanzǐ naturally followed Hao Ren out of the computer room, having come merely to pass time and find Hao Ren. Last night she went singing with Little Ling until late, but Zhao Yanzǐ was more energetic than them so after waking up, her first thought was finding Hao Ren.
"Great! Great!" When Zhou Liren walked out of the computer room he shouted excitedly.
Since they managed to secure access to the fastest 1st computer lab and were among the first to log into the course selection system, there had been no need to adjust his best course selection plan; all courses were selected at once. If everything went smoothly this semester he wouldn't have any failing grades!
Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 also felt happy as they logged in to the course selection system from their graduate dormitory, but since they didn’t know Hao Ren’s list of courses, they specially found Hao Ren at Building D and selected all his courses according to his schedule.
This way, for the new semester, they would be able to take all classes together with Hao Ren!
Some professional courses in the school were chosen collectively by the class, but first-year students could also choose third-year professional courses as long as they felt capable of passing them.
Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉莉 had transferred over from another college, making them equivalent to new freshmen. However, even if they took classes with first-years, these were unfamiliar classmates; it would be better for them to take Hao Ren's courses.
In such cases, students of different grades are often inserted into the same class. For example, Zhou Liren had to retake several basic professional courses that he failed previously and this year they needed to insert him back into a first-year student’s class.
Strangely, Zhou Liren didn’t consider it shameful but rather proud, claiming it was a long-term strategy to get close to the fresh-faced beauties in the freshman class...
"I want to eat! I want to eat! I want to eat!"
After exiting Building D, Zhao Yanzǐ started clamoring for food. She found Hao Ren's course selection process boring while watching him do it in the computer room of Building D; she failed to notice that Hao Ren and Xie Yujia's courses had all been selected identically... This wall between them hadn’t worked at all.
Since Ling兆 High School hadn't officially started yet, and their new campus cafeteria was still closed, Zhao Yanzǐ came to Donghai University just for Hao Ren to treat her to a meal.
"No need to shout," hearing Zhao Yanzǐ repeat it like a robot, Hao Ren quickly interrupted her. "I’ll take you to the cafeteria!"
"Sure!" Zhao Yanzǐ immediately became cheerful.
From Lingzhao Middle School to Donghai University, it's now just a three-meter-wide road away. She rides her bicycle back and forth faster now, and in the future she can get Han Ren to treat her to meals every day... Speaking of which, she had tasted the food at Donghai University’s cafeteria before, and found it quite satisfactory.
"Here, for you!" Zhao Yanzǐ handed her bicycle over to Han Ren.
It seemed natural that Han Ren should ride while she sat on the back.
Zhao Jiayin and the others saw Zhao Yanzǐ’s actions and thought that this little cousin of Han Ren was indeed quite ferocious, but since Donghai University would be opening tomorrow, this little cousin should be going back home soon.
Han Ren rode his bicycle with a creaking sound as he took Zhao Yanzǐ towards the nearest Shuixiu cafeteria.
Xie Yujia helplessly smiled and rode her own bicycle to follow Han Ren to the cafeteria.
Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉Lili, who had bought a tandem bicycle from somewhere, giggled as they cycled over—these two completely turned Donghai University’s beautiful campus into a park... Yu Rong and the others watched in shock as Han Ren led four beauties towards the cafeteria, feeling envious—when will we be able to get into college third place When will we have so many women
The freshmen's military training had entered its last day. As Han Ren took Zhao Yanzǐ on his bicycle toward the cafeteria, he saw several squadrons marching in step along the lakeside tree-lined path.
"March!" The drill instructor shouted.
Rush! Rush! Rush! Rush!
The freshmen marched with synchronized steps.
When Han Ren first entered Donghai University, he too had gone through military training. Seeing this scene now made him feel a mix of nostalgia and sentimentality.
In fact, during the military training, the boys had secretly established Xie Yujia’s status as the class flower, and when electing a class president later on, they all voted for her. At that time, Han Ren already had a good impression of Xie Yujia, but he thought such an elegant girl wouldn’t pay attention to him.
Seeing the freshmen's military training, Xie Yujia also recalled those days—back then she didn't have much of an impression of Han Ren. Yet two years had passed in a blink.
Zhao Yanzǐ hadn't seen military training before and sat sideways behind Han Ren on his bicycle, facing the marching squadrons head-on. She intentionally mimicked them by swinging her arms and legs while looking at them with curiosity.
Lu L琳琳 and Lu 莉Lili, riding a tandem bicycle following Han Ren and Xie Yujia, had managed to avoid freshmen military training since they were admitted in the second half of the year. As she rode by, her large eyes blinking curiously, she found it equally amusing.
Rush! Rush! When such an adorable little beauty as Zhao Yanzǐ passed by, the squad could still maintain their formation. When a beautiful senior like Xie Yujia cycled past them, they could also keep in step. But when two cute and beautiful twin beauties rode a tandem bicycle past, the formation finally broke down… Clatter! The synchronized steps suddenly turned chaotic, with students stepping on each other’s heels or bumping into one another's backs. A chain reaction caused many to lose their balance and fall. The male-dominated squad couldn’t help but stare after the girls’ backs.
“Class 3, Class 4, Class 5, Class 6, stand at attention for an hour!”
Han Ren rode out of the tree-lined path and heard a drill instructor shouting loudly from behind.
The environment in Donghai University’s cafeteria was quite good, and the quality of food was guaranteed. Zhao Yanzǐ's stomach growled as she ate more than Han Ren combined for breakfast and lunch.
Han Ren found it endearing how she ate without any inhibition.
There was a speech by the class counselor at five in the evening, and before that, it was free time. Hao Ren didn't waste any time either; after lunch, he took Zhao Yanzi and the others to the Fifth Heaven.
The Fifth Heaven had changed significantly since Zhao Yanzi's last visit. As soon as she saw several round snow lion cubs, her heart melted, and she rushed over to pick them up.
Lv L琳琳 and Lv L莉莉 were busy helping Xie Yujia take care of the immortal herbs and collecting the golden droppings of these snow lion cubs as fertilizer to spread around the spirit fields.
"Little White, let's go!" Hao Ren saw that the four girls were each enjoying themselves, so he got on Little White and charged out of the valley.
Since today was relatively free, Hao Ren changed into his Daoist robe in his cave mansion and rode Little White to visit the Qiong Tong Sect.
In no time at all, with the speed of Little White, they arrived at the mountain range where the Qiong Tong Sect had once been stationed.
The once glorious Qiong Tong Sect was now in ruins. Both before and after the mountains, various huge holes were dug out as smaller sects came here to search for "secret treasures."
Hao Ren put away Little White and suppressed his cultivation realm to appear like a Foundation Establishment cultivator, then steadily landed in the ruin.
A middle-aged cultivator reaching mid-stage Foundation Establishment was bending down searching for things among the ruins. Seeing the early-stage Foundation Establishment Hao Ren land, he arrogantly said, "Friend, this area is already mine!"
"Haha, friend, I wonder how the Qiong Tong Sect fell to such a fate" Hao Ren asked.
"You don't even know this" The cultivator looked down on Hao Ren and said, "The Qiong Tong Sect provoked a great cultivator and met with their doom!"
"What kind of great cultivator" Hao Ren pressed for more information.
"Just out of seclusion, right" This cultivator looked at Hao Ren's early-stage Foundation Establishment realm and was somewhat doubtful. He then waved his hand and said, "Go! This land is mine, if you want to know anything else, go elsewhere!"
"Friend, friend!" Hao Ren took out three low-grade spirit stones from his pocket and placed them in this cultivator's hands.
There were rich and poor Foundation Establishment cultivators. This one who came to the Qiong Tong Sect ruin to pick up garbage certainly wasn't very wealthy.
Seeing Hao Ren's spirit stones, he quickly put them away and changed his face to a less cold expression before continuing, "This great cultivator is someone who rose to prominence in Mystic Peak. Mystic Peak used to be called Medicine King Valley but was renamed after this great cultivator came."
"It’s said that there lives a Medicine God in Mystic Peak who grants any request and has extremely proficient alchemy skills. The one who exterminated the Qiong Tong Sect is his personal disciple, whose cultivation strength reached late-stage Core Formation at the time... This personal disciple was so enraged that he broke his sword..."
He vividly described the scene to Hao Ren as if he had witnessed it himself. He didn't realize that the person standing in front of him was actually the top expert in the story.
"That young cultivator killed several Qiong Tong Sect Elders at the Core Formation stage, and within three days, two elders stole medicinal pills and escaped from the Qiong Tong Sect. Five days later, Hongshan Sect, Gongyang Sect, and Xinxiang Sect attacked together. The掌門of the Qiong Tong Sect was killed by his own disciple, with all Foundation Establishment Pills seized..."
This cultivator continued to describe.
"So that's how it happened," Hao Ren pretended to understand in a sudden realization. A sect with a thousand-year history being wiped out by one person indeed warranted the awe of Fifth Heaven’s cultivators towards Mystic Peak.
"Yes, now this great cultivator controls three nearby sects: Qingyin Sect, Qixing Sect, and Qionghua Sect," said this cultivator, looking at Hao Ren. Suddenly he asked again, "Friend, it seems you are not very clear about these matters"
"Please, may I ask for more information... more information..."郝仁再送出兩塊低級靈石。
These spirit stones were all gathered by Zhao Yanzi when he was plundering the Fifth Layer Sky. Hao Ren took some of them with him as he left the valley, thinking they would be useful as pocket money, and now they actually came in handy.
The cultivator looked at Hao Ren and thought that this young cultivator was quite generous; he must have come from a major sect to train. Just for asking a few questions, he gave five low-grade spirit stones, which is almost the yearly quota of a foundation establishment cultivator in a sect.
However, disciples from these major sects usually have some self-defense skills and strong backing. If their cultivation level only slightly exceeds others', they wouldn't dare to take any rash actions.
The middle-aged cultivator thought this way before putting away the spirit stones and said, "These three sects are controlled by Medicine King Elder Zong. They gather spiritual herbs from the Fifth Layer Sky and return refined third-grade pills; it is rumored that they are refining a very powerful pill."
He believed he was providing important information, but Hao Ren just found it amusing. Nevertheless, Medicine King Elder Zong of Piaomiao Peak had already gained widespread fame without people even realizing it.
No ordinary cultivator would dare offend Piaomiao Peak.
"Currently, the pills refined by Medicine King Elder Zong have been sold for 600 spirit stones per pill in major sect-controlled markets. In underground markets, they fetch as high as 800 spirit stones."
"Now, the prices of precious spiritual herbs are skyrocketing; every sect has sent important disciples to guard their herb gardens, which have become primary zones. Some crucial spiritual herbs are guarded by individuals who rely on them for mature harvests to exchange for pills from elders."
The middle-aged cultivator continued. Seeing that Hao Ren was a newly established foundation establishment cultivator just out of his sect for training, he thought it quite profitable to swap some spirit stones with common knowledge.
However, these pieces of information meant that Xie Yujia's pills had started spreading their influence; previously neglected spiritual herbs are now being cultivated by those who couldn't refine pills. This equates to Xie Yujia using Piaomiao Peak as a base and developing numerous downstream individuals.
The entire Fifth Layer Sky has become Xie Yujia's cultivation ground!
"However, besides the pill refinement techniques, this elder’s realm strength is likely even more profound. His personal disciple exterminated the Kongtong Sect with a single move; if you and I were to face off against that disciple, we might not last half a move!"
The middle-aged cultivator continued his thoughts as though he wished to become a disciple of Medicine King Elder Zong himself. He still didn't know the man in front of him was the one who annihilated Kongtong Sect.
"Are there treasures left within the Kongtong Sect" Hao Ren asked again.
"Heh heh, um... as a thousand-year-old major sect, perhaps it might still have some remaining treasures," said the middle-aged cultivator, thinking Hao Ren wanted to cut into his business and so spoke hesitantly.
Hao Ren looked at the wide mountain range where there were indeed foundation establishment cultivators moving about, but he was not interested. Thus, he took off into the air.
In the astonishment of the middle-aged cultivator, Hao Ren flashed a white light and vanished in the distance.
The white light flew back to Piaomiao Peak, where just as Hao Ren was about to enter the valley, he saw a girl standing at its entrance.
"Sixth Layer Sky, Tian Mountain Sect, Duan Yao, requesting Medicine from Elder Zong!" The girl sent out an audio transmission and threw it into the valley.
