Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 225 - 198: Holy Crap! Drew a T0 True God!

Su Yuan looked again at the window seat in the back row.

Sitting there was a frail girl with bangs covering most of her face, her hair properly black and glasses with big black frames, keeping her head down all the time.

Upon a closer look, Su Yuan realized she had long shoulder-length hair, which he didn't notice earlier due to the angle.

As for why Su Yuan had mistaken her for a boy earlier?

It wasn't because she looked masculine, but because she was a bit... flat.

Coupled with the unisex school uniforms of the top ten preparatory classes, the mistake was understandable... right.

"What's her name?"

Su Yuan turned to look at Zhang Baiyi again.

"Qi Hanyan."

Zhang Baiyi said casually:

"As for her personality issues, I heard it from my teacher."

"According to my teacher, although she has significant talent in alchemy, her Dao heart is severely unstable, and she wants to give up on everything. Passing the preparatory class assessment this time was very risky."

Su Yuan nodded with comprehension.

Having a weak Dao heart shouldn't affect alchemy, right?

Before the class started, Su Yuan left his seat and quickly came to the timid girl.

"Qi Hanyan, there's something I'd like to ask you."

The girl, who had been keeping her head down, was startled upon hearing her name.

She then slowly raised her head, brushing aside her long bangs to look.

An exquisite, picturesque face appeared in front of Su Yuan.

Upon seeing it was Su Yuan, the girl cautiously asked:

"Su Yuan, do you... need something from me?"

For some reason, the girl's accent was a bit unusual, mixing up retroflex and plain sounds.

And as if realizing her accent was a bit odd, Qi Hanyan covered her mouth and lowered her head again, saying nothing.

Su Yuan didn't mind the accent problem and earnestly asked:

"I've heard that your alchemy skills are the best in our class. Would you be interested in joining the Primordial Sect?"

"As long as you join the sect I've created, the future potential is great!"

Qi Hanyan fell silent.

Even Su Yuan felt a bit awkward.

After all, who would just go around asking people to join a makeshift sect—how's that different from *scams?

But there's no choice; only when Qi Hanyan joins the Primordial Sect can Su Yuan use the sect system to see her talent, assessing if she can be entrusted with important tasks.

And just when Su Yuan was awkwardly digging his toes into the ground, the girl suddenly nodded seriously:

"I'll join."

"What, you'll actually join?"

Su Yuan was momentarily taken aback.

Qi Hanyan explained word by word:

"I've heard of the Primordial Sect; it's a highly popular sect created by you, with diverse operations."

"I... I've actually wanted to join the Primordial Sect for some time."

Su Yuan's mouth instantly curved like Nike, forming an exaggerated arc.

Who would've thought the Primordial Sect's reputation was already so big that even geniuses from the preparatory class aspire to join.

Given what she said, Su Yuan couldn't offer low treatment.

Consider it an investment in a valuable asset.

Su Yuan waved his hand grandly and said:

"Then this Sect Leader officially appoints you as the Master of the Pill Hall, one of the Eight Great Hall Masters. You are now Master Qi."

Upon hearing this, Qi Hanyan nodded slightly excitedly.

Just at that moment, the class bell rang.

Su Yuan gestured to the girl to talk after class, then returned to his seat.

Upon sitting down, he immediately pulled up the sect system interface and found Qi Hanyan's name among the Eight Great Hall Masters.

Opening the follower information, after a casual glance, Su Yuan's expression suddenly froze.

"Is this... a talent humans can possess?"

[Qi Hanyan: Master of the Pill Hall]

[Loyalty: 10%]

[Special Ability: Acquired Pill Saint (Purple) Wuji (Colorful)]

[Contribution Points: 268]

Colorful talent! Is it real?

In face of this "Wuji" colorful talent, even the "Acquired Pill Saint" purple talent pales in comparison.

This is like drawing a version T0 card!

Su Yuan swiftly pulled up the talent description for "Wuji."

[Wuji: No bottleneck; continue striving in a direction and you'll surely keep progressing.]

Damn! A cheat!

Fewer words mean bigger issues; this nearly conceptual divine-level ability unexpectedly appeared on a seemingly random female character?

Anywhere else, she'd definitely be the main protagonist's golden finger!

Is that reasonable?

Unexpectedly, the "Acquired Pill Saint" purple talent was probably also refined by Qi Hanyan through "Wuji."

After a good while, Su Yuan managed to suppress his shock, taking a deep breath.

Don't panic.

Having one colorful talent is nothing; take advantage now before this person grows, cut her off... cough cough, this isn't a gangster cultivation story, can't do that.

Besides, thinking positively, Qi Hanyan is already his follower, her abilities could also be used in his favor.

Moreover, the Sect System might still be upgraded.

Who knows, once it's upgraded again, he, as the Sect Leader, might be able to borrow the talents of the followers.

Upon further consideration, although the "Wuji" talent is strong, a cultivator's life energy is limited.

Although it is claimed to be able to progress continuously, it doesn't specify the speed of progress.

Perhaps the life energy might be exhausted before breaking through a great realm.

After understanding this, Su Yuan's mentality finally became more peaceful.

As for the origin of those 268 Contribution Points from Qi Hanyan, after some thought, Su Yuan guessed she might have rewarded either him or an artist under Primordial Media.

Ignoring these insignificant data, Qi Hanyan's mere 10% Loyalty made Su Yuan feel quite glaring.

This talent must be tied down to the Primordial Sect and cannot be allowed to escape!

If she's an enemy rather than a friend, she absolutely cannot be kept!

While Su Yuan was brewing many extremely wicked thoughts inwardly, the figure of Master Qiu also entered the classroom.

This Golden Core Doctor from the Profound Art Celestial Sect taught far more than Ye Muyu and Taibai Phecda.

He directly tossed out all the introductory texts on alchemy, artifact refining, talisman making, arrays, etc., allowing the students to learn according to their own interests and talents.

Three days later, Master Qiu will conduct an exam based on the content of the introductory texts.

Based on the exam results, Master Qiu can determine whether each student has a talent in subfields like alchemy and artifact refining.

If there's no talent, there's no need to learn future courses of the Profound Art Celestial Sect.

It may sound like free-range, and in fact it is, but the introductory texts given by Master Qiu are genuinely good stuff.

These texts are compiled by the scholars of Profound Art Celestial Sect, much stronger than those tutorial courses circulating online.

However, after picking up the texts and skimming through them for a while, many candidates who were eager posted signs of being clueless.

Couldn't understand.

Alchemy, artifact refining, talisman making, arrays... every cultivation-related subfield requires a sufficient level of talent.

And clearly, most people lack this talent, even among the outstanding peers present.

A few students in the classroom who were thriving mostly were those dug out by Master Qiu, predefined as talents by Profound Art Celestial Sect.

Only one person is an exception.

And that person is none other than Su Yuan.

He had his head buried in an artifact refining text, learning with great passion.

This made Master Qiu, and everyone who noticed this scene, surprised beyond measure.

What does this mean?

Could it be that Su Yuan is indeed a genius in the cultivation subfield?

Of course, that's not the case.

To be honest, Su Yuan doesn't have any talent in various cultivation subfields.

He was engrossed because the constitution "Special Attack on Profound Art Celestial Sect" was activated.

Using the "Deceitful Art Constitution," he passively began converting and absorbing the righteous dao knowledge and transforming it into demon dao artifact refining knowledge the moment he opened the refining text.

As an introductory text on artifact refining, besides various refining techniques and notes, there's only one genuine magical treasure blueprint.

This magical treasure is named "Heaven-Opening Pearl"!

Despite the impressive name, it is known as one of the lowest-end magical treasures, also the most suitable for practice.

The construction of the Heaven-Opening Pearl is simple, requiring only a spirit stone with depleted spiritual energy, and the integration of sun and moon essence into a void spirit stone to achieve yin-yang fusion.

It can be said to be quite cost-effective.

The more sun and moon essence is integrated, the better the effect of Heaven-Opening Pearl, naturally indicating the artifact refiner's technical skills.

As for the use of Heaven-Opening Pearl, it is related to breeding.

As known, the cultivation of demon race spirit beasts hinges on instinctual absorption of sun and moon essence to strengthen themselves.

But when spirit beasts are enclosed and raised in large quantities, inhibiting their absorption of sun and moon essence, what can be done? 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Things like solar panels and moonlight panels can naturally act as mediums for storing sun and moon essence, satisfying daily needs.

Whenever the spirit beasts in the farm are about to breakthrough the realm or ready to mate, Heaven-Opening Pearl becomes a crucial source of sun and moon essence.

"Hmm, I see, so the sun and moon essence of Heaven-Opening Pearl can be replaced by such a force… I fully understand."

Su Yuan muttered to himself while immersing in the study of Heaven-Opening Pearl's refining method.

At this moment, Master Qiu ruthlessly spoke from the podium:

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you a fact."

"Among the top hundred arts in my Profound Art Celestial Sect, artifact refining is already the most basic and easiest skill for entry."

"Within three days, you must do your best to try crafting a Heaven-Opening Pearl for a test scheduled on the last afternoon."

"If you can't even refine a Heaven-Opening Pearl, unless in extremely special circumstances, other cultivation skills cannot pass the test either."

This left the students with no time to notice Su Yuan's performance, each with a bitter expression, compelled to delve into the refining texts first.

The course for the first morning quickly ended.

After class, Su Yuan called Chen Nuoyi and Wu Ziying, and the three blocked Qi Hanyan together.

"Sect Leader... is there something you need?"

Qi Hanyan looked at the three lined up in front of her, like a wall, speaking cautiously.

"It's like this, our Primordial Sect intends to establish a small shop for selling elixirs."

"I have prepared most of the documents and certifications required for opening the store, except for a legal and compliant main pill formula."

Su Yuan said seriously.

Qi Hanyan: "…How can you open an elixir shop without a pill formula?"

The girl faintly felt she might have boarded a pirate ship.

After all, no matter what, a normal sect would gather at least one or two pill formulas before starting a Pill Hall.

This was the first time she encountered a sect wanting to expand its alchemy business without even a single pill formula.

Could it be Su Yuan recruited her just to exploit her pill formula?

Qi Hanyan couldn't help but feel a strong urge to escape.

Loyalty directly fell to 1%.
