The windows in the room were closed and the light was dim. Pei Ye just sat quietly at the table with an ambiguous expression.

The Jade-faced Spider crawled out from nowhere, crawled onto his hand, and poked him gently.

Pei Ye gently stroked the Jade-faced Spider's head, his voice was unusually gentle: "I know, I know, don't blame you, I was just pretending. You did a good job, it's all right."

He exhaled slightly and smiled sincerely: "That's good, my sister will be fine for the time being..."

The Jade-faced Spider tilted its head and crawled to the other end of the table to play with the pens and ink on it.

"Don't touch that...my sister bought it for me..."

Shen Mian found the place where disciples were promoted. There were already several instructors and some people who also wanted to be promoted.

Seeing Shen Mian coming, they turned their heads and looked at her tacitly, which made her a little confused.

She heard some whispers and then she realized that she seemed to have become a "celebrity" in the Alchemy Academy because of things like shattering the translation spirit stone, getting first place in the test, and being called away by the Law Enforcement Hall.

As to whether this reputation is good or bad, it is unknown.

Shen Mian walked to the registration area as if no one was around: "I want to take the rating test."

"D-level disciple?" The instructor glanced at her leisurely. "If you want to be promoted to C-level disciple, you have to go there."

He pointed to a place not far away, but Shen Mian said, "Who said I want to be promoted to Class C? I want to be promoted to Class B."

As soon as these words came out, everyone around looked at her in unison, with a lot of surprise and disdain in their eyes.

"That new student? Shen Simian? She wants to take the assessment for a higher grade. She's so confident?"

"Tsk, all freshmen are like this, fearless and really think they are invincible. Just wait, she will definitely move to another place in shame."

"Don't say that. I'm a genius who shattered two soul-translating stones." A sour voice sounded.

"Then go to the Nunnery. Why come to our Alchemy Institute?"

"I think I am not only gifted in cultivation, but also unmatched in alchemy, hahahaha——"

The ridicule came mercilessly, but Shen Mian glanced past it and ignored it.

Mu Yan said: "I will help you teach them a lesson."

"No need, they are just jealous of me. You will get used to it after hearing it many times."

Mu Yan said in a sullen tone: "You weren't like this before? You weren't angry when they said that to you? Were you possessed by another spirit?"

Shen Mian was calm: "If a dog barks at me, I will yell back. If a group of dogs bark at me, I will think they are very sad."

After a pause, she continued, "Actually, if it were any other day, I might have taken note of the people who yelled louder and given them a beating some other day, but I've been too busy these past two days, and it's a special period, so it's better to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"So I'm going to help you teach them a lesson."

Shen Mian emphasized again: "Don't make things complicated. You know where their dormitory is? Just go there. You can't knock them down in broad daylight."

While she was talking to Mu Yan, the instructor had already spoken.

"If you are taking the assessment for a higher level, the difficulty will be much higher. Normally, to be promoted from a C-level disciple to a B-level disciple, you only need to refine a seventh-level elixir. If you jump directly from a D-level to a B-level disciple, you need to successfully refine three ninth-level elixirs before you can be promoted."

After he finished speaking, he continued to do his own thing with his head down. After all, in her opinion, this freshman looked like he had just come of age. At best, he could refine a seventh-grade elixir. As for a ninth-grade elixir? Absolutely impossible.

"I want to take the exam."

The instructor paused, looked at Shen Mian with some displeasure, and repeated: "You need to refine three random ninth-level pills."

"I know." Shen Mian nodded, "I want to take the test."

There was silence all around. They couldn't believe their ears. After a long silence, a Class C disciple spoke with a tone of disdain, not knowing what he was thinking:

"The resources of the academy are also very precious. If everyone comes here like you to take the academy's spiritual medicine to practice alchemy, it's too selfish!"

Yes. The people around her reacted, how could she possibly refine a ninth-level elixir? And she even had the audacity to randomly select three ninth-level elixirs to refine?

He must be here to get some spiritual medicine from the academy! After all, the spiritual medicine needed for assessment and promotion is provided by the academy!

They rounded out the logic themselves and looked at Shen Mian with some anger.

"Are you here to take the exam to become a Class B disciple as well?" Shen Mian glanced at the Class C disciple's robe on him.

The man snorted: "So what? I'm not like you!"

"I think you're the one who's here to waste the academy's resources." Shen Mian looked at him with contempt.

"You, what do you mean! I came here because I was sure of my ability. I'm not like you who boasts that you can refine a ninth-level elixir!"

Shen Mian raised his eyebrows: "Really? Since you are so confident, do you want to compete?"

"Compared to what?"

"Let's compare. Which one of you finishes refining a furnace of seventh-grade pills first, or I finish refining a furnace of ninth-grade pills first? How do you think?"

"Okay!" Hearing the bet, he agreed almost without hesitation, glanced at her with ill intent, and smiled obscenely: "If you lose, you have to take off all your clothes and kowtow to me three times!"

Someone nearby hissed, "Such a big bet? There's no need. She's a girl after all."

Someone retorted: "She was the one who brought it up first. If she is so confident, what is she afraid of?"

"Okay." Shen Mian agreed readily, "If you lose, you have to take off all your clothes and run around the academy, shouting 'I ate shit today' while running, and run around all four academies."

The man said disdainfully: "I can't lose!"

Shen Mian suddenly frowned and sighed: "What if you go back on your word? I can't put a knife on your neck and force you to fulfill the bet, right?"

The man sneered: "I was worried that you would not fulfill the bet."

"Isn't this simple?"

A female voice suddenly sounded, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice and bowed: "Greetings, Dean Mo."

Mo Jingyu appeared on the roof at some point, wearing a red dress, lying on the tiles, holding a wine jug in one hand. She jumped down neatly and appeared in front of Shen Mian in a few steps.

"Little girl, I am here to testify for you. Go ahead and bet. Anyone who does not fulfill the bet will be expelled from Fengqi College."

There were sounds of people gasping for air all around. Mo Jingyu smiled nonchalantly: "I like excitement the most and hate people who can't stand losing the most. Don't worry, I mean what I say. If anyone doesn't fulfill the bet, I will personally throw him to the academy. It won't be any use for the dean to persuade him."

"Hiss, this is going to be lively."

They whispered to each other. Everyone in Fengqi College knew that the dean of all the seminaries, Mo Jingyu, was a reckless female devil. She did whatever she wanted and often did things that gave the deans a headache. But she was very powerful and had her own logic in doing things. Usually, as long as nothing big happened, all the deans would turn a blind eye.

Just like now, no one knew why she suddenly became interested in running to the Alchemy Institute to eavesdrop, nor did anyone know why she was interested in this bet.

But the only thing that was certain was that she kept her word and would kick him out of the academy, so she would definitely not let him stay until the next day.
