Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

Before the physical examination report came out, Meng Yu had slipped back to the office, standing obediently to one side, serving tea and water to everyone.

So, when Master Xue's gaze fell upon Meng Yu, what she saw was a good child.

The soft sunlight shone on Meng Yu's face, his features held a trace of determination and boldness, deep and powerful, especially those bright and spirited eyes that seemed to penetrate into one's heart.

Master Xue had forgotten what she was like two hundred years ago, but at that time, she was indeed very innocent, without any ill intentions. Perhaps, Meng Yu was the same?

Of course, Master Xue did not know that there were always some bad seeds in this world, like some students who played games and read novels on regular days, encouraging everyone to join them, claiming that the joy of adolescence was not to be missed, yet when alone, they would study relentlessly day and night. And Meng Yu was an even bigger rascal.

He had a hundred extra days and sufficient spirit stones for replenishment!

"Explain this."

Master Xue pointed at the physical examination report.

"Are you still not at ease with the Immortal Sect? It looks like you've been focusing on alchemy, but in reality, you are diligently practicing Qi Refinement? This isn't good, if you want to cultivate, the Immortal Sect is happy for you and won't be jealous of the progress of your cultivation. You shouldn't hide it like this, it's not good."

Master Xue struggled to suppress her own jealousy, although she was very clear that this rascal before her, with such progress, could really achieve Qi Refinement Great Perfection, and then proceed to Foundation Establishment in three to four years!

By then, he would be just twenty-one years old!

"I really haven't lied to anyone, I have truly been studying alchemy diligently!"

Meng Yu earnestly defended himself with a sincere face.

"Alright, then I will now examine your level of alchemy!"

Master Xue snorted coldly as she watched Meng Yu, wondering why her hands were getting itchier, more eager to hit someone.

...

Just like every company has a petty cash fund, the Grey Wolf Company naturally had an Alchemy Room.

A group of people came there in a grand manner, and Meng Yu stood shyly to one side, somewhat at a loss, like a child caught lying and now facing an on-the-spot test.

Her heart softening, Master Xue suddenly felt that maybe she had done something wrong.

Even though her inspection was abrupt, it wasn't meant to pick faults. Moreover, Meng Yu's life was already hard enough; why be so serious?

"Actually, you don't have to worry about achieving Foundation Establishment, we will assign you dangerous tasks, you are part of the Immortal Sect, and we will protect you. If anyone sends you to die on purpose, just come to me, and I'll twist off his head."

As one of the chief invigilators of the Year 10008 College Entrance Examination League, Master Xue was qualified to say this.

Her voice gentle, her expression serious.

"Thank you, Sister Xue, I will now concoct a batch of Marrow-Cleansing Pills, please, Sister Xue, have a taste."

Hearing Master Xue's words, Meng Yu immediately brightened up.

"Marrow-Cleansing Pill?"

"Yes, it's Second Order. I probably need another two or three years before I can concoct a Third-Grade Marrow-Cleansing Pill; I'm really sorry about that."

Meng Yu politely said, causing the corner of Master Xue's mouth to twitch.

In the Immortal Sect, First Order refers to the Alchemical Elixirs that can be concocted in the Qi Refinement Realm, Second Order is for those who are at Foundation Establishment, and Third Order is after the Golden Core stage.

The Third-Grade Marrow-Cleansing Pill, which was the one Meng Yu had previously wanted to buy, was an elixir concocted by a Golden Core Expert. Meng Yu's implication was clear; he was now on par with some of the Foundation Establishment alchemy experts!

Master Xue didn't speak, watching Meng Yu as he began to gather herbs in the Alchemy Room, finding one precious ingredient after another, handling them with skill, and amidst various manipulations, the Pill Furnace ignited, the flames roaring to life, as he operated everything with minute precision.

Master Xue was somewhat lost in thought, looking at Meng Yu with a bewildered expression.

She remembered her own childhood, filled with various forms of cultivation every day, her teenage years, which were always about cultivating day and night. After she achieved Foundation Establishment, her family gave her a holiday, and during her travels on the Interstellar Train, she was clueless about what everyone was talking about big stars and past significant events.

Indeed, she didn't really have any hobbies, at most just a few cats that kept her company and some favorite songs. As for dabbling in all kinds of miscellaneous knowledge, sorry, her family said not to be distracted, she should push her realm higher first, and everything else could wait.

Alright, she succeeded, many people said she had taken the correct path.

But now...

"Hey, this fire control technique is really not bad."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"The young man's Shaoyang Mysterious Skill is truly impressive."

"The micro-operation is simply amazing, how did he train his Divine Sense?"

Those Foundation Establishment cultivators, all over a hundred years old, chattered non-stop, praising Meng Yu. They had learned a lot of miscellaneous tasks, and now they began to offer praise.

Some even took the initiative to give pointers, including hands-on guidance, helping Meng Yu conserve his True Qi.

"Can he really do it?"

"This is a Second-Order Marrow-Cleansing Pill."

"How can he waste time like this?"

Thoughts after thoughts surfaced in Master Xue's mind, as if forcefully slapping her face!

Wasn't it said that the path of cultivation is so difficult that any distraction would mean falling behind with every step?

...Right, if he achieved Foundation Establishment at twenty-one, then who is the one falling behind?

A group of people gathered around the Pill Furnace, shouting and yelling, and Meng Yu was directing everyone what to do, just like he was in the Great Wu, advising the Liu Family members. After making mistakes time and time again, one would accumulate enough experience.

An hour later, the Second-Order Marrow-Cleansing Pill was out of the furnace. Eight smooth, shiny Marrow-Cleansing Pills appeared before everyone, their surface glimmering green, free of Pill Poison, with a fragrance that was almost perfect.

Thanks to the hands-on help from a few Foundation Establishment cultivators, who either wanted to show themselves off in front of Master Xue or make friends with Meng Yu, he ended up completing the alchemy task beyond expectations. What originally might have resulted in one or two successful elixirs turned out perfect, and each person could have one for themselves.

But this also proved that Meng Yu had the capability to perform Foundation Establishment level alchemy!

"Don't you think alchemy is too time-consuming?"

Master Xue, in the end, still accepted the Marrow-Cleansing Pill that Meng Yu gave her.

She didn't want to recall her painful cultivation past anymore. Back then, she couldn't even spend more than ten minutes a day snuggling with her cats!

"It's okay, alchemy doesn't take up much time; it's quite simple and it doesn't take long each day. The main thing is the Formation, so I'm studying Formation to see if I can spend a bit more time on it every day. I also want to keep a few more cats..."

"Bang!"

The next moment, Meng Yu's body flew up into the stratosphere and became a star!

Well, this scene was imagined by Master Xue, looking at this smug guy in front of her, she really wanted to kick him to death!

She finally understood why in movies and TV dramas, senior characters always like to persecute the young geniuses.

It's not that the seniors are shameless, it's that the geniuses are too outrageous!

"You really are idle!"

She said through gritted teeth.
