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

"No, Liyue, what's your speed?!"

"Aunt Yu, you also know that most of these are first and second level pills. They are easy to refine and don't take long."

Aunt Yu originally thought that the spiritual herbs she bought yesterday would be enough for her to use for a month, but when she saw these pills, she felt that the spiritual herbs might be used up again.

"After dinner, go back to the academy. You should practice and study hard and strive to improve yourself. Don't always think about refining pills."

"Aunt Yu, don't worry. I know how to balance work and rest. Besides, alchemy is also a form of cultivation!"

"Yes, yes, you are right. Don't make yourself too tired!"

Gu Liyue held her hand and said, "I understand. You really don't have to worry."

Gu Liyue looked at the dishes on the table: the braised pork was glistening with oil, the vegetables were emerald green, a pot of chicken soup was fragrant, and there was also a plate of stir-fried pork slices with mushrooms. The portions of these dishes were quite large. Just looking at them made her mouth water.

Aunt Yu looked at her and said, "There's nothing delicious to eat in the academy, right? This pot of chicken soup has been stewing for quite a while, so you should have an extra bowl."

Gu Liyue was in a trance. Aunt Yu looked just like her in her previous life, before the end of the world. Every weekend, before she returned to school to stay, her mother would cook a table full of delicious food for her, and she was always worried that she didn't eat well at school.

She shook her head and stopped thinking about the past.

I am already an adult, okay!

Gu Liyue agreed with a smile, and her belly was full after the meal.

She told Aunt Yu, "Don't worry about me. I'm grown up."

Aunt Yu touched her head and agreed.

Gu Liyue returned to the academy. She held Xiaoxuan in her arms and walked slowly, helping her to digest her food and dispel the slight sadness in her heart.

When they arrived at the academy and entered the gate, they summoned [Wuhua]. Xiaoxuan immediately entered the space in fear. Gu Liyue looked at its funny appearance and smiled slightly.

She stepped on [Wuhua], turned into a stream of light, and flew quickly towards the dormitory.

The students on duty at the gate were stunned.

"The person just now was Gu Liyue, who had realized the sword intent."

"Oh, I didn't expect her to be so beautiful, like a goddess from heaven."

"Look at the speed at which she controls the sword. It's terrifying to watch."

"Yeah, I wonder what it feels like to stand on it?"

“I’m just worried it’ll fall off.”

"Is the person she's holding the same Xiaoxuan who defeated the Roc?"

"That should be it. But it's so cute and adorable, I can't tell it's that powerful."

"You can't judge a book by its cover, and the same goes for birds, so don't judge a book by its cover!"

"Indeed. Why did it look so panicked just now?"

"Maybe it's worried it might fall!"

There is no need to say more, the truth about these two students has been revealed.

When he reached the gate of the yard, he jumped off [Wuhua] and put it away.

When I opened the gate, I found Yun Lizhi and Wen Qinnuan still drinking tea and chatting in the yard.

She walked over, said hello, and sat down.

They took out the spiritual fruits and each of them started to nibble on one. Wen Qinnuan asked while chewing on the spiritual fruit, "Liyue, where did you buy this spiritual fruit? Why can't I find such delicious spiritual fruits even in the city?"

"If you want to eat something, just ask me. What do you want to buy?"

I couldn't find a good excuse! I didn't want to tell a lie, fearing I'd have to tell countless lies to cover it up later. In this world, there was a virtue not to pry into a monk's privacy.

Wen Qinnuan asked, "How can I feel comfortable with that?"

"It's okay, come ask me for it!"

Then he took out two more and gave one to each of them.

The freshmen have been a little restless recently because the courses are halfway through and it is almost time to decide on the subjects to study in depth. Except for a very few who have already decided on them because of their family background in education, most of them are in a state of confusion and hesitation.

Sometimes I can’t concentrate on practicing, let alone studying.

Yun Lizhi pushed the hair that fell from her forehead behind her ears and looked at Gu Liyue and said, "Liyue, have you made your choice?"

Gu Liyue looked at her troubled expression and said calmly, "No, don't worry. There are still more than ten days left! Learn everything you need to learn first. By the end, maybe you'll have a conclusion in your mind."

Yun Lizhi looked at her calm face and felt strangely relieved. "Yeah, maybe you have too many choices, but I have too few. Or, as you said, if you study hard, you'll know the answer. See which course resonates with you."

Wen Qinnuan said naively, "If you ask me, letting people choose in one month is actually too short a time. The life span of a cultivator is so long, how can one see their own talent clearly in just one month?

Also, if you find out later that you made the wrong choice, can't you change it?"

Yun Lizhi suddenly felt enlightened. Why had she been feeling anxious and worried recently? Was it because she was staying with the extremely outstanding Gu Liyue that she began to doubt her own abilities?

The next morning, I arrived at the classroom.

Instructor Heng told everyone, "Today everyone will begin practicing alchemy. Due to space limitations, Instructor Fu and I will take everyone to Tongming Peak. There is a dedicated alchemy room there, as well as a large teaching room that can accommodate the number of people in our class to practice alchemy together."

As he spoke, he led everyone out of the classroom. The two instructors summoned their swords, chanted some magic spells, and flew towards Nengming Peak with a "swoosh".

The students followed their instructor and took off one after another.

Gu Liyue took off two breaths slower than the two instructors, but soon followed closely behind the instructors, squeezing out Xiao Ju, who had been following steadily behind the instructors.

Seeing her disregard, Xiao Ju yelled, "Gu Liyue, you have no moral principles. You should queue up, don't you understand?"

Gu Liyue turned around and said, "You're too slow. You're blocking my way."

Xiao Ju scoffed, "Why don't you say that the instructor is blocking your way?"

A cunning light flashed in Gu Liyue's eyes: "You said so."

Teacher Heng turned his head and looked at Xiao Ju.

Xiao Ju saw it, raised his hand and scratched his crease, and said, "Teacher Heng, I didn't say that!"

Instructor Heng was silent for a moment before saying, "I heard it."

Xiao Ju glared at Gu Liyue.

Xiahou Jingrong and Li Xiuyuan looked at them from behind and laughed.

The master of Tongming Peak is the second elder Chi Yonghao, who was once a favored child of the Qingxuan Continent and is now the top alchemist. Yin Rutang is his direct disciple, and she ranks fifth.

Currently, the main affairs of Tongming Peak are being managed by the second elder's eldest disciple Zhou Ruomu. He is now standing on the top of the peak waiting for a group of instructors and students.

He looked to be about thirty years old, wearing a black robe with tight sleeves. He had a serious face and looked a little stern.

Tongming Peak wasn't as high as Lingxiao Peak, but the entire mountain covered a large area. There were many medicinal fields on the peak, planted with spiritual herbs. As she flew closer, Gu Liyue could see some students working in the fields.
