It's the academic studies.
During this period, Jiang Yuan went to classes every day.
The curriculum for academic courses at Zhongyuan Academy is relatively relaxed, with about three hours a day.
That is, the duration of two lectures.
However, given Jiang Yuan's poor performance in academic subjects, the old principal specifically instructed Li Yueying to put extra pressure on Jiang Yuan.
As a result, Jiang Yuan could only find his teacher Li Yueying after the scheduled classes each day to give him some additional tutoring.
Moreover, the old principal said that no matter whether Jiang Yuan made a breakthrough or skipped grades this time, he needed to participate in the exams at the Academy.
You should know, from the time Jiang Yuan enrolled until now, he has not participated in any exams for academic courses.
However, from the time he enrolled until now, he has only "missed" two exams.
It's all because Jiang Yuan's power level progressed too quickly.
He had just started studying the second-year curriculum when he broke through to the third grade.
Under such circumstances, taking exams was certainly impossible.
After all, the content of the third-year curriculum is somewhat different from that of the second year.
"If you still need to refine that elixir, don't take it out during this period."
In the cafeteria, Jiang Yuan, Nezha, and Mu Qianshan were sitting together at a table when Mu Qianshan also reminded Jiang Yuan.
"I definitely won't take it out, scarcity is what makes something precious."
Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement, but he also genuinely admired Mu Qianshan.
Of the remaining two Xuanyuan Purple Pills, one was exchanged for a Red Quality heavenly material and earthly treasure.
The other was even more valuable, one Red Quality heavenly material and earthly treasure plus three Purple Quality heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Not to mention the Red Quality heavenly material and earthly treasure, even the "change," that is the three Purple Quality heavenly materials and earthly treasures, were enough for the old master to make another three Xuanyuan Purple Pills.
However, the old master has been busy with Artifact Refining lately and has no intention of crafting pills.
The Palm Leaf Fan, as a weapon for wind-assisted fire, in Jiang Yuan's view, could also be taken along to the Elemental Spirit Clan's Grotto Heaven as an attack equipment.
The ability to extinguish flames with a powerful blow really made Jiang Yuan envious.
Moreover, another skill, [Wind-assisted Fire], whether it is to enhance Nezha's [Samadhi True Fire] or the old master's [Six Divine Fire], is extremely good.
If it is used within an Array, the power of the flames in the Array could also be enhanced with the amplification of the Palm Leaf Fan.
"However, if there are no Xuanyuan Purple Pills, it's also possible for the old master to refine some other elixirs."
Mu Qianshan smiled happily: "After all, the elixirs that can be used by people below the Sixth Realm are indeed not plentiful."
"Alright, I'll go back and ask the old master about it."
Jiang Yuan nodded and agreed.
As for elixirs effective for those below the power of the Sixth Realm, it's not that there aren't many, but there are almost none.
Generally speaking, for those below the Sixth Realm who haven't reshaped their bodies, it's impossible to withstand the frenzied power of elixirs created from the fusion of various heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
But the old master is different.
The elixirs made by the old master are of the gentler kind.
Not to mention them, who have cultivated for a while and have better physical qualities than ordinary people, even patients with muscular atrophy could withstand the elixirs the old master can refine.
And more importantly, the effects are not subpar.
Anyhow, it is understandable considering the old master can refine elixirs that allow a mere mortal to ascend to immortality without exploding and perishing.
After all, it is the old master.
Even among the Three Thousand Great Worlds, the old master is undoubtedly the number one in Alchemy!
"Mhm, mhm, there are also some orders, I will send them to you later."
"Orders and such are a minor issue, how about your strength?"
"Recently, I've been diligently cultivating."
Speaking of this, Mu Qianshan also showed a hint of a smile.
After glancing around, he spoke in a low voice to Jiang Yuan: "That Cultivation Technique Card you made for me is indeed powerful!"
"True, but how come you still haven't broken through to Great Liang?"
Jiang Yuan was somewhat helpless: "At least you have to break through to the mid-stage of Great Liang before I can take you to the Grotto Heaven; it's troublesome if the strength is too poor."
"I understand."
Mu Qianshan nodded, his face also showed a hint of seriousness: "But there's a high probability I won't be able to go to the Elemental Spirit Clan's Grotto Heaven; I'll try my best to see if I can breakthrough to the late-stage strength of Great Liang before you go to the All Clans battlefield."
"Alright."
Jiang Yuan nodded and agreed.
Mu Qianshan was also making good progress in his cultivation, currently preparing for his breakthrough in Great Liang.
If nothing unexpected occurs, he should be able to break through successfully in a couple of days.
But there was still about a week left, and Jiang Yuan was planning to set off to the Elemental Spirit Clan's Grotto Heaven.
He had to prepare some Thunder Attribute Skills for Zhao Gongming.
Then, he would go to the Undead Clan's Grotto Heaven to enhance the strength of Shi Ji's Undead Enslavement.
Next, he could enter the battlefield of All Clans.
However, all this was predicated on the condition that he didn't perform too poorly in the academic exam a week later.
If he did poorly, he would have to retake the exam and all these plans would be delayed.
"I'll go to class then."
"Mhm, go ahead."
After smiling, Mu Qianshan watched as Jiang Yuan, who was dragging a reluctant Nezha, left the cafeteria.
"I should also get to work."
Mu Qianshan stretched and then sat down at the cafeteria, taking out his mobile terminal to start contacting and responding to various order messages.
"How are you feeling about the academic exam a week from now? Confident?"
"It's okay, shouldn't be a big problem."
After his classes at the Academy, Jiang Yuan went to his teacher, Li Yueying, for some tutoring.
Just after finishing, Li Yueying turned to Jiang Yuan and asked.
Jiang Yuan yawned and answered his teacher's question, then got up and patted Nezha, who was sleeping on the sofa next to him.
"Alright, you can rest for the next couple of days. Come over the day after tomorrow, I'll give you a test paper to work on."
Li Yueying looked at Jiang Yuan and a confused Nezha, who still didn't seem to understand what was happening, and spoke with a smile.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely pass the academic exam this time!"
Jiang Yuan chuckled and patted his chest as a promise to Li Yueying before dragging the still groggy Nezha out of the office.
"Hm? Is it over?"
"Yes, it's over, we can go back."
Jiang Yuan said, and also picked up his mobile terminal to check messages that had been sent to him just now.
However, not many people knew Jiang Yuan's contact information.
There were only messages from two people, one from Mu Qianshan and one from Huang Huanqing.
Mu Qianshan sent an order, while Huang Huanqing indicated that she had prepared all the materials Jiang Yuan needed and should be able to deliver them by evening.
After responding to them, Jiang Yuan went home.
"Here, you can upgrade now, and if all goes well, you can even add a Skill."
Just as Jiang Yuan arrived home, Laojun handed him a Blue Quality Card.
Jiang Yuan took the Blue Quality Card, which was the [Linglong Tower]!
The [Linglong Tower] had a Skill added by Laojun.
It was also Laojun's idea; originally, Jiang Yuan was planning to directly upgrade the card.
However, after Laojun learned some rules of Equipment Masters, he suggested that Jiang Yuan add a Skill before upgrading, so that another Skill could be added after the upgrade.
Apart from the previous Skills, the newly added Skill was called [Suppression].
Suppress a single target for a period of time, causing a control effect.
The duration is determined by the strength of both sides, with a minimum of 0.5 seconds.
This was the Skill chosen by Jiang Yuan.
After all, Jiang Yuan currently lacked any kind of restrictive Skills, so he chose to add such a Skill to the [Linglong Tower].
Incidentally, this Skill was very compatible with the Linglong Tower, and the success rate was extremely high.
"So, I should upgrade this card now?"
Jiang Yuan looked at the Blue Quality Card in his hand and asked Laojun.
"Yes, you can."
Laojun nodded and then simply watched Jiang Yuan, waiting for him to start upgrading the card.
