I was forced to leave the world of immortal cultivation after being transformed into a loser.

She knew that Gu Liyue had just walked towards the square, and soon saw Gu Liyue. She was standing by the path looking at the medicinal fields at the foot of the mountain.

Yin Rutang walked over and said condescendingly, "Gu Liyue, I didn't know it was Master who asked you to come to class. Can you please go back to class?"

Gu Liyue looked at her and although her tone no longer had the arrogance from before, her expression was condescending and she looked very unwilling.

"Didn't you chase me away? Didn't you say you were going to carry me away?" Gu Liyue asked back.

Yin Rutang took a deep breath and whispered, "I really didn't know. Master agreed to let you come to class. I shouldn't have chased you away. I'm sorry."

The last three words were spoken almost silently and could not be heard unless one listened carefully.

Yin Rutang thought, I did call you, but you were the one who was stalling for time. Master hates people being late the most. If Master blames me for being late later, you can't blame me.

"I didn't hear what you just said. Speak louder." Gu Liyue said deliberately.

"I'm sorry, can you go to class?" Yin Rutang said humbly.

"Alright, I got to Tongtian Peak with my name badge. Don't casually say someone came in secretly in the future."

Yin Rutang had no choice but to nod.

When the two men walked into the classroom, the second elder was already standing on the podium.

He was looking at them expressionlessly.

Yin Rutang said, "Master, I'll go get Gu Liyue to come to class. She didn't want to come at first, so we've been delayed until now."

Chi Yonghao glanced at Yin Rutang, then looked at Gu Liyue, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Gu Liyue thought: I knew Yin Rutang wouldn't give up, and he was even planning to set me up. I thought we could just get along peacefully, but after all, she'd have to travel around Tongming Peak frequently, and it wouldn't be nice to have to give him a cold shoulder every time we met. So, you have to give something.

She looked at the Second Elder and said, "Second Elder, I just came to the classroom, but Senior Sister Yin said I was here to steal his skills and wouldn't let me attend class, so I had to leave. I can't bear the reputation of stealing his skills."

After hearing this, Chi Yonghao's eyes turned cold as he looked at Yin Rutang.

He said to Zhou Ruomu, "Rutang is still immature in managing the affairs of the peak. I wanted to give her more practice, but it seems she is still not up to the task. You will have to work hard for a while. Wait until your second sister comes back and then let her take care of it."

Yin Rutang had expected to hear the Second Elder punishing Gu Liyue, but instead, he heard his own punishment. All his careful behavior these past few days had gone to waste.

Her eyes widened in disbelief, her face pale. The Master truly understood her and what she cared about.

The students in the seats all heard Gu Liyue calling Yin Rutang "senior sister", and the second elder did not refute it.

Everyone was wondering what was going on. Wasn't Gu Liyue a direct disciple? Why could someone call a direct disciple "Senior Sister"?

The Second Elder then clarified everyone's doubts: "The Dean has decided to allow Gu Liyue to travel around the various peaks as a direct disciple. Each peak will give her the same treatment as a direct disciple."

When everyone heard this, they were surprised and their faces were full of excitement.

"I never thought that Gu Liyue is not only a direct disciple of the Three Peaks, but also of the other Peaks."

"I thought she would just fade away among the crowd, but I didn't expect the dean to elevate her to such a high position."

"I don't know how Gu Liyue convinced the dean."

"How could I convince her? I convinced her by ranking first in three tests."

Gu Liyue herself was a bit confused. Didn't they say that I would be treated as a direct disciple of the Three Peaks? Why did they treat me like a direct disciple of each peak? This was to allow me to develop in a more comprehensive way!

The Second Elder asked Gu Liyue to take a seat before starting the lecture. Halfway through the lecture, the Second Elder asked Gu Liyue to go on stage to demonstrate how to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill for the students to watch.

Gu Liyue was very graceful as she refined the third-order rejuvenation pill. She stood on the alchemy table next to the podium, her posture free and her movements smooth.

With his left hand, he placed the spiritual herbs one by one into the alchemy furnace, while with his right hand he controlled the size of the earth fire. His spiritual consciousness checked the situation inside the furnace from time to time.

Entering the tempering stage, the hand gestures became smooth and skillful, as if they were instinctive movements.

With a buzzing sound, the lid of the furnace was opened, and the freshly-baked pills were lifted up with spiritual power and placed into a porcelain bottle. There were a total of six pills in this furnace.

The Second Elder nodded continuously as he watched, giving it a high evaluation: "Very good, with a strong medicinal fragrance and a rounded shape. It's a third-grade, top-grade pill. It has produced six pills, and the yield rate is high."

Then he said to the students, "Alchemy requires a lot of practice. Only when you are proficient enough will the success rate be high. I hope you can practice more."

After class, the Second Elder asked Gu Liyue to stay and said, "The Dean has already opened the restriction on your badge that allows you to enter the library. You can go to the library to find some skills to use."

The Second Elder thought for a moment and then said, "The library is on Tongtian Peak. If you go there, you can go and see the dean."

Gu Liyue looked at the Second Elder, bowed as a disciple, and said, "Thank you for your advice, Second Elder."

The Second Elder waved his hand with satisfaction and said, "Don't be polite with me. Since I treat you as my disciple, I must give you some guidance."

"Why don't you consider moving to Tongming Peak? It's very convenient to make pills here, and you can use spiritual herbs as you like."

Gu Liyue found this offer quite tempting. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Second Elder, I actually opened a shop in Qingxuan City that sells elixirs and talismans. I can't use public property for personal gain, can I?"

The Second Elder thought for a moment and said approvingly, "You're quite honest. In fact, in Tongming Peak, students receive spiritual herbs according to their quotas, and the refined pills are also theirs. However, the pills you refine are high-grade and in large quantities. How about we split it 40% and 60%? You get 40% of the refined pills, and the rest of the peak gets 60%. There will be plenty of spiritual herbs. What do you think?"

Gu Liyue thought for a moment and said, "46 is fine. The college gets 4 and I get 6, okay?"

"You're incredible! You even want to bargain for this," the Second Elder said. "Fifty-fifty."

Gu Liyue said, "Second Elder, my pill-yielding rate is very high. I think the 46-point academy is not at a loss. You have to let me earn some spirit stones, right?"

The Second Elder thought about it, then laughed heartily and said, "Okay, as you say. I'll go and tell Ruomu. Would you consider living here?"

"Forget it. If the Vice Dean and the Great Elder ask me to stay at their peak in a few days, how will I respond?"

When the students outside the classroom heard the Second Elder laughing so loudly, they all thought that the Second Elder and Gu Liyue had a very good relationship.

Only Yin Rutang knew that the Second Elder really valued Gu Liyue. Although the Second Elder was usually kind and pleasant, he had never smiled like this, at least she had never seen it.

After the two men finished talking, the second elder called Zhou Ruomu in and explained to him about Gu Liyue. Then he left.

After hearing this, Zhou Ruomu didn't show it on his face, but he was curious in his heart. He was curious that his master would actually agree to such a thing for Gu Liyue.

Gu Liyue said to Zhou Ruomu, "Brother Zhou, I want to get some spiritual herbs."
