1755 Win or Lose

Realizing that she seemed to have misunderstood Mu Tianyan, Du Yu smiled at him awkwardly and said, “Thank you, Junior Brother Mu.”

She couldn’t squeeze in after squeezing for so long just now, but Junior Brother Mu carried her in. He was simply too fast!

Indeed, powerful people were truly different.

After thanking Mu Tianyan, Du Yu turned around and said to Lu Zijia excitedly, “Junior Sister Lu, I have two sets of spiritual plants to refine the Mystic Golden Core Pill. Are you really not going to accept payment?”

Lu Zijia saw the entire process of her Dao Companion carrying her and felt that Du Yu, her Senior Sister, was a bit silly. She was carried like a chick and even thanked the person who carried her…

Could this be the legendary kind of person who would help count money after being bought?

“Of course. I mean what I say.”

Lu Zijia nodded and replied, then added, “But I can’t guarantee that the pill will definitely be formed. I hope you understand, Senior Sister.”

Even though she was actually more than 90% confident, she still had to be humble on the outside, right?

Du Yu nodded repeatedly. “Junior Sister Lu, don’t worry. I understand the rules.”

Alchemists couldn’t guarantee that they would definitely be able to refine pills, so whenever cultivators had any precious spiritual plants in their hands, they would first ask an alchemist with brilliant alchemy skills to refine them.

If they couldn’t hire an alchemist with brilliant alchemy skills, they would settle for the next best thing and try with other alchemists.

However, because even if the alchemist failed to refine pills, the cultivator who asked for help still had to give the alchemist some remuneration as the reason for his hard work.

Many cultivators would rather swallow spiritual plants directly than ask an alchemist to help them refine pills.

However, swallowing spiritual plants directly would still have some side effects.

Du Yu took out a few brocade boxes of various sizes from her interspatial ring and handed them to Lu Zijia, saying nervously, “Junior Sister, here are two sets of spiritual plants to refine the Mystic Golden Core Pill. See if there’s any problems with them.”

In fact, her father asked her to send these two sets of spiritual plants to Dean Du, hoping that Dean Du could help the Du family get a few more Mystic Golden Core Pills.

And she didn’t give these two portions of spiritual plants to Lu Zijia on impulse.

Instead, she had once eavesdropped on her father and mother’s conversation and said that the Mystic Golden Core Pill in Dean Du’s hand was very likely to be from Lu Zijia.

Besides, she had never been on good terms with Liao Sisi, so she made up her mind and decided to give two sets of spiritual plants to Lu Zijia.

What she did could be considered a gamble.

If she won the bet, her father wouldn’t have to worry about the Mystic Golden Core Pill anymore. If she lost the bet, she was also willing to accept the punishment of the family.

Lu Zijia took the brocade boxes. After checking them one by one and confirming that there was no problem, she nodded at Du Yu with a smile. “Thank you for your trust, Senior Sister.”

Lu Zijia walked back to the middle of the arena with two sets of spiritual plants and sat down opposite the Taiyi Pill Furnace.

Lu Zijia dealt with the spiritual plants while thinking to herself, Fortunately, this unknown Senior Sister appeared in time this time. Otherwise, even the most powerful alchemist would probably only lose.

She was too rash this time. She had to be more cautious in the future.

Not long after Lu Zijia started to deal with the spiritual plants, Du He, who was informed by the students of the Martial Arts Department, appeared in the crowd.

After seeing the situation in the arena clearly, Du He didn’t do anything. Instead, he waited quietly under the arena.

Not long after, the deans, teachers, and even Kou Sun, the deputy dean, also appeared. It could be said that the upper echelons of the Hongtian Academy were gathered together.
