1736 Challenged

Mu Tianyan nodded slightly. “The Mystic Golden Core Pill can be sold to the students of the Martial Arts Department first. If there’s any left, put it up for auction.”

“I think so too.” Lu Zijia smiled and said.

During the month or two she stayed in the Martial Arts Department, she had a good feeling about it. At least no demons or ghosts appeared in the Martial Arts Department to make her unhappy.

“Master, Master, don’t forget to buy me some snacks!”

Seeing that its master was about to leave the Ancient Space, the golden pagoda hurriedly reminded her.

“My pancakes, my pancakes.”

The Taiyi Pill Furnace jumped on the spot a few times, wanting to attract its master’s attention.

The big snow wolf was also unwilling to fall behind. “There’s still my meat. Master, don’t forget.”

Looking at the three excited ones, Lu Zijia couldn’t help feeling amused. “I know, I know. I definitely won’t forget. I’ll buy them for you when I get out later.”

The External Affairs Pavilion of Hongtian Academy stopped doing business with the Martial Arts Department. If they wanted to buy meat and snacks, they could only buy them outside the academy.

Students of Hongtian Academy couldn’t go out casually unless they accepted a mission. It seemed that she had to ask the dean for a token that allowed her easy access in and out of the academy.

After leaving the Ancient Space, the two of them removed the array formation outside the alchemy room and walked straight to Du He’s office.

However, before they reached Du He’s office, they bumped into Xu Qi on the way.

“Oh! Fellow Taoist Lu, you’re finally out!”

As soon as he saw Lu Zijia, Xu Qi immediately ran over excitedly. The few students who were originally with him also ran over.

Seeing the anxiety on Xu Qi’s face, Lu Zijia couldn’t help asking curiously, “What’s wrong?”

“You really don’t know?”

Xu Qi revealed an “I knew it” look and immediately said, “On the second day of your seclusion, someone from the Alchemy Department came to challenge you, Fellow Taoist Lu.”

“Challenge me?”

Lu Zijia was a bit stunned for a moment, apparently not expecting this at all.

“That’s right, Junior Sister Lu. You have no idea how arrogant the people from the Alchemy Department are. They actually publicly said that you’re afraid, so you didn’t dare to accept the challenge.” A female student standing beside Xu Qi said indignantly.

As soon as the female student finished speaking, another fat male student also said angrily, “Those people from the Alchemy Department are like clowns. They keep jumping around all day.”

“Right, we’ve already said that you’re in seclusion refining pills, Junior Sister, but those people from the Alchemy Hall insist that you’re afraid. They really don’t know what’s good for them!”

“Right, the person who challenged Junior Sister Lu is more than ten years older than her. Isn’t he bullying her? He’s simply too disgusting!”

A few students of the Martial Arts Department shared a common enemy with Xu Qi and complained crazily about the people from the Alchemy Department.

Lu Zijia roughly understood what happened from their crazy complaints.

So, she asked, “Do you know who challenged me?”

“I know, I know.”

Xu Qigao raised his hand and said excitedly, “That guy is a disciple of the side branch of the Shi family, Shi Hua’an. He’s a student in his second year at the Alchemy Department. His current cultivation level is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm, but his alchemy skills are very bad. He’s only at the middle stage of the Yellow Rank.”

“I heard that Shi Hua’an is one of Helian Qiguang’s lackeys. Helian Qiguang must have instigated Shi Huaan to suddenly challenge you, Junior Sister Lu!” One of the tall and thin students analyzed.

Lu Zijia tilted her head in confusion. “So, what is his challenge? Alchemy or martial arts?”
