The Horticulture program at Imperial Capital University is developing rapidly and has ample funding. Rare plants can be seen everywhere on campus, with a wide variety of flowers, grasses, and trees.

The racetrack is lined with many trees, creating a spectacular sight.

The ancient tree in front of Chu Yun had such a thick trunk that it would take three or four adult men to encircle it to measure its circumference.

The leaves are lush and green, giving it a vibrant look.

Chu Yun chose this tree not only because it was lush enough, but also because she wanted to tease Pei Shaojin.

Pei Shaojin, for reasons unknown, developed a habit of spying on her from the tree.

Since he likes to peek so much, Chu Yun will let him peek to his heart's content.

The branches of the ancient tree grow upwards, so Chu Yun couldn't reach the leaves while standing on the ground.

The route map displays the time; there are currently thirteen minutes left in the match.

With time running out, Chu Yun didn't hesitate. She pushed off the tree trunk with one foot, wrapped her arms around it, and used both hands and feet to climb up nimbly.

She didn't climb very high; she stood where the main trunk and branches forked, wrapped her left arm around the trunk, and leaned forward.

Chu Yun's leg was stuck at the fork of a branch, and she didn't feel the hardness and roughness of the branch. Instead, she felt a soft touch.

She stared at the soft spot for a while, but found nothing amiss.

Pei Shaojin felt like he was about to suffocate.

The Gu family presents high-level magical artifacts to the royal family every year, and the Illusionary Realm is among them.

As a soldier who has made many contributions in battle, Pei Shaojin naturally has his own illusion.

He used the illusion to conceal himself and hid in the tall, ancient tree, silently observing Chu Yun.

When Pei Shaojin saw Chu Yun standing under the tree, he sensed something was wrong and quickly hid where the branches extended diagonally upwards, thankfully avoiding being caught red-handed by Chu Yun.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yun climbed too fast and, by sheer coincidence, stepped on Pei Shaojin's trouser leg.

Pei Shaojin dared not move or make a sound, lest Chu Yun become suspicious.

It was unbearable to endure.

"Strange!" Chu Yun muttered to herself, leaning closer to look. Her warm breath sprayed onto Pei Shaojin's ankle, making it both itchy and numb.

Pei Shaojin couldn't help but clutch the leaf beside him.

The warm breath drew closer, and Pei Shaojin crushed the leaves, causing green sap to flow out.

Chu Yun looked for a while but didn't find anything. Given the time constraints, she stopped worrying about it, reached out and picked a small branch, then jumped down from the tree.

After landing safely, Chu Yun glanced back at the strange place. "I'll come back and take another look when I have time."

After saying that, Chu Yun left without looking back.

Pei Shaojin finally felt relieved.

Pei Shaojin opened his palm and looked at his hand, which was completely stained green, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

To be honest, he and Chu Yun had only met a few times, yet every meeting was so awkward.

One time, he was poisoned in a way that was difficult to talk about.

One time was when he became a thief.

Fortunately, Chu Yun was unaware of this encounter.

Chu Yun plucked all the leaves from that branch, kneaded them in her hands, and the green sap slowly flowed into the nutrient solution.

She shook the bottle in her hand to ensure the juice and nutrient solution were completely mixed.

It took three minutes to pick the leaves and make the medicine.

Those people over there also went through a mental struggle during those three minutes.

On the one hand, they didn't want to abandon their friends, but on the other hand, they were unwilling to let Chu Feng's evil scheme succeed.

They hesitated for a long time but couldn't reach a conclusion.

Chu Yun approached them, took out a nutrient solution, and said, "Here you go."

The argument stopped, and everyone looked up at Chu Yun.

"It contains the juice of fresh ancient tree leaves, which has a very good therapeutic effect on external injuries."

Several people looked at each other.

Chu Yun was in a hurry, so she shoved the bottle into Gu Lang's hand, said nothing more, and immediately ran forward.

She did what she could; whether they believe it or not is their business.

Gu Lang held the bottle in his hand, looked at Han Ming's face contorted in pain, and asked, "Do you need it?"

Han Ming leaned against Gu Lang's chest and took a deep look at Chu Yun's gradually departing figure.

"use!"

Chu Yun was exhausted after running out of her last bottle of nutrient solution.

Fortunately, she hadn't gone all out before, so she could still give it her all.

Chu Yun gritted her teeth, exerted force in her legs, and gradually took larger steps, making a final sprint.

The scene before her eyes gradually blurred with sweat, and Chu Yun's back was almost completely soaked.

She was gasping for breath, her breathing erratic.

In the end, Chu Yun's mind was almost completely blank, and she ran forward like a machine.

All she knew was that she couldn't stop.

As Chu Yun crossed the finish line, her tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

Chu Yun's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

"Watch out!" Gu Fenglin grabbed Chu Yun's arm.

With Gu Fenglin's help, Chu Yun slowly regained her balance.

"Let me help you to the rest area," Gu Fenglin said gently.

Chu Yun's throat was very sore, and she couldn't speak. She opened her mouth slightly.

"Don't say anything, I know, no need for you to thank me," Gu Fenglin said first.

He helped Chu Yun to the resting place.

It's called a rest area, but it's really just a shade shed, drafty on all sides, but at least it can block out the sun.

Several benches and boxes of nutrient solution were placed under the shed.

Gu Fenglin helped Chu Yun sit on the bench and then went over to get her some nutrient solution.

Chu Yun took the nutrient solution and drank it down in large gulps.

She drank it quickly, without paying attention to her manners, and couldn't help but gasp for breath after finishing.

Even though it was something Gu Fenglin disliked, he didn't feel annoyed this time.

"Want another one? Another bottle, please?" Gu Fenglin asked.

Chu Yun accepted it with a smile.

"Thank you." Although Chu Yun had recovered some strength after drinking the nutrient solution and was able to speak, her voice was still hoarse.

"I told you, you're welcome," Gu Fenglin said.

Suddenly, he stopped talking and looked at Chu Yun's palm.

"What's wrong?" Gu Fenglin asked.

"It's nothing. Someone was injured just now, so I picked some fresh ancient tree leaves to make medicine for him, and that's why he looks like this," Chu Yun explained.

The race is recorded by instruments. To prevent outsiders from cheating, alarm systems are installed throughout the track. No unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter except for the participating students.

The track will not be opened to the public until an hour later when the race ends.

Therefore, Gu Fenglin was not entirely clear about what exactly happened during the competition.

"Really? The leaves of ancient trees have such uses?" Gu Fenglin was in the capital, so he would naturally go to the hospital for treatment when he was injured. He didn't know much about these herbs.

"Of course, herbs are a great legacy of ancient humans on Earth. Those inconspicuous flowers and plants have saved many lives."

"When people suffer from the afflictions of Venus, many people use herbal remedies."

Chu Yun spoke slowly.

Her words, when heard by different people, will naturally be interpreted in different ways.

Gu Fenglin was amazed by Chu Yun's extensive knowledge.

Pei Shaojin, who was hiding in the shadows, felt sorry for Chu Yun.

Roland then thought of the war-torn Moonstar, where the people would always use herbs to heal their wounds.

Han Cheng'an, who had just arrived, finally understood why Chu Yun had hated him so much when he called Liujin Star a garbage star.

For a time, everyone had different thoughts.
