Chapter 101 The 1000 Million Yuan [Elf Dragon] Potion
Chapter 101 The 1000 Million Yuan [Elf Dragon] Potion
The school doctor laughed, shook his head helplessly, and said:
"As expected of Professor Lan's apprentice, his tone is exactly the same as your master's."
Zhang Lingyun nodded and said:
"Teacher, could you print out a report for me? I'd like to take it to my mentor."
"Of course, no problem."
As the printer whirred, the school doctor suddenly leaned close to Zhang Lingyun's ear.
She pointed to Zhuang Wenwen not far away and asked:
"Hey, isn't this the girl who slept with you last time? She's quite pretty."
Zhang Lingyun's face darkened, and he immediately shook his head in denial:
"Absolutely not, I have absolutely no relationship with her."
Zhuang Wenwen happened to overhear this.
She had originally planned to take this opportunity to approach Zhang Lingyun and strike up a conversation.
Upon hearing this, his expression instantly crumbled.
After receiving the report, Zhang Lingyun turned and walked out.
As he passed Gao Yuanfan, he glanced at the man's ashen face and offered a brief reminder:
"Don't forget to buy some milk tea. Everyone's waiting."
Wang Dong immediately realized what was happening and muttered something at the top of his lungs:
"I need to text my roommates to tell them there's free milk tea."
Although his voice was not loud, it alerted everyone present.
Everyone took out their phones and started sharing the good news.
Some, not wanting to miss out on the drama, even posted it directly on the campus forum.
Cold sweat trickled down Gao Yuanfan's face.
He wasn't worried about money; that wasn't a problem for his family.
He felt he had lost all face and would become a laughing stock at the university.
Moreover, what he found most unacceptable was that Zhang Lingyun's [Magic Value] was actually as high as 19.
Is this guy even human?
However, he was not the one who was the most upset; the one who was the most upset was Zhuang Wenwen.
She's now kicking herself.
When Zhang Lingyun arrived at the office.
Lan Ruoxi is reading the mission report for Dongxing City.
Bai Lu was conscripted into hard labor.
At a small table to the side, he was grading students' homework.
Seeing Zhang Lingyun return to school, Bai Lu sat up with a grin.
She casually opened her collar, facing the air conditioner's blast of air conditioning.
Her large expanse of wheat-colored skin exuded a languid, alluring charm.
Lan Ruoxi was very satisfied with Zhang Lingyun's performance this time.
I glanced at his status.
She also keenly noticed that her apprentice had made significant progress after his trip to Dongxing City.
Lan Ruoxi subconsciously pulled out the [test card].
A vibrant green glow emanated from my fingertips.
Zhang Lingyun quickly took out the test report and handed it to the desk from a distance.
"Master, I already had a check-up at the school hospital before I came."
Lan Ruoxi frowned.
"You really don't like having your master examine you personally?"
Zhang Lingyun dodged the green light and shrank back.
"I'm afraid you'll give me a skin disease from the radiation."
Lan Ruoxi glanced at the report and was immediately stunned.
Her high heels fell to the ground with a thud.
Bai Lu looked up curiously.
I was also shocked by the numbers above.
"190,000? Doesn't that mean with a little more effort, I can shed my [Apprentice] status and become a true [Warlock]?"
Lan Ruoxi glanced at her eldest disciple.
"Look at you, you never work hard, and you've already been surpassed by your junior."
Bai Lu pouted, feeling very wronged.
He thought to himself, "How can you geniuses know the suffering of us mortals?"
Zhang Lingyun picked up the high heels and helped Lan Ruoxi put them on properly.
"Master, I want to break through 200,000 as soon as possible."
Lan Ruoxi shook her shoes and asked:
"Why are you in such a hurry? You should first solidify your foundation."
Zhang Lingyun shook his head:
"Master, I have my own plans. It's not too late to consolidate my foundation after I break through 200,000 and become a [Beginner Sorcerer]."
Lan Ruoxi nodded:
"That's good! As long as you have your own plans. Don't be like some people who just drift through life."
Bai Lu pouted again.
It feels like the master's attitude has changed ever since the new apprentice came along, even though the apprentice was the one who came first.
Lan Ruoxi asked again:
"So, what's your goal for breaking through 200,000?"
Zhang Lingyun revealed the plan he had already devised:
"I want to break through to the fourth level of the [Body Tempering Technique] first. That should allow me to surpass 20, right?"
Lan Ruoxi nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"You just happened to get a very high score on your mission in Dongxing City. You can use this score to exchange for the corresponding potion from the Golden Rose Society."
Zhang Lingyun was surprised by the unexpected joy:
"Master, can I get the potion now?"
But Lan Ruoxi shook her head:
"no."
"When will I be able to receive it?"
"That depends on luck."
What is luck?
Lan Ruoxi adopted a professor's demeanor and gave him a brief explanation:
"The auxiliary magic potions for the Body Tempering Technique are different from those for the Meditation Technique."
"The auxiliary potion for the Meditation Method is extracted from plants and can be preserved for a long time."
"However, the potion for the [Body Tempering Technique] has an extremely short shelf life."
"From hunting magical beasts to obtaining the medicine, to its preparation, and finally, drinking it."
"The entire process must not exceed one hour."
Zhang Lingyun thought for a moment:
"Does that mean the best approach is to capture live magical beasts?"
Lan Ruoxi nodded and said:
"That would be ideal, of course. But whether you can catch it or not still depends on your luck."
"So when exactly do I have to wait?"
"If you're lucky, you'll have to wait a few months. If you're unlucky, you might have to wait a year or two."
Zhang Lingyun frowned:
"I can't wait that long. Master, everyone knows that you are exceptionally talented, incredibly powerful, beautiful and kind-hearted. Please think of a way for me."
Lan Ruoxi felt completely comfortable after being patted, and hummed and groaned as she said:
"Then when I have time, I'll go and catch one for you myself."
When are you free?
"Soon, just wait a few more months."
Zhang Lingyun couldn't wait that long.
He not only wanted to improve his strength as quickly as possible, but also wanted to fight the dragon with Xia Youran as soon as possible:
"Master, I want to go faster."
Lan Ruoxi thought for a moment and said:
"Then you'll have to try your luck on the black market."
Bai Lu then raised her head and said:
"If you come across this potion in the market, don't forget to buy one for your senior sister as well."
Zhang Lingyun frowned.
According to his contract with the musician, he was obligated to take care of Bailu's life.
Now that Bai Lu has made the request in person, he can't possibly refuse.
If we calculate it this way...
He needs one bottle, Xia Youran needs two bottles, Ding Shuangshuang needs one bottle, and Bai Lu also needs one bottle.
I need to buy five bottles at once.
Zhang Lingyun immediately felt...
My wallet suddenly felt tight.
On the deep internet, Zhang Lingyun posted a request to purchase a supplementary magic potion for the Body Tempering Technique, under the name of the Clover Hermitage.
But as Lan Ruoxi said, this thing depends entirely on luck.
He could only continue his studies while silently waiting for news.
During this period of time—
He is still trading the first level of the "meditation method" online.
The business was even more booming than he had imagined.
His fabricated "Holy Spirit Medicine" completely outshone the "Angel Medicine," causing the "God's Kingdom Organization's" revenue to decline continuously.
The weather was terrible that day.
As night fell on Green Island, a thick, impenetrable sea fog continuously surged in from the dark ocean.
The dark, heavy waves crashed against the black reefs, producing a muffled thunderous roar.
The salty sea breeze, carrying tiny water droplets, stung my face like needles.
Huang Ku, wearing a black trench coat, walked along the trail against the strong wind.
The cold sea breeze seeped into his clothes, causing a dull ache in his knees.
He walked to the agreed-upon bench and found that someone was already sitting there.
The man had his head down, hands in his pockets, and shoulders slightly hunched, like a stray dog.
He only slowly raised his face when Huang Ku walked up to him.
Huang Ku was somewhat surprised and frowned as he asked:
"Yu Li? What are you doing on Green Island? What about the mission in Dongxing City?"
Yu Li forced a smile, revealing a smile that was more like a grimace:
"Didn't they tell you? I got caught in Dongxing City."
Just then, a rustling sound came from the nearby ditch.
A large rat with red eyes crawled out of the sewer.
This is the convener of this secret meeting. He was previously the Rat Messenger of the Divine Kingdom organization, but now he should perhaps be called the Great Rat Messenger.
The big rat glared with red eyes, its tone full of anger:
"You two are utterly useless! The repeated mission failures and the slowdown in the descent of the divine kingdom are all because of you!"
Huang Ku retorted with a cold laugh:
"You have the nerve to talk about us? You're the one who lost the most, aren't you?"
Yu Li also said weakly:
"That's right! I've never seen any of the support promised by the Divine Kingdom Organization from beginning to end."
The big rat was speechless after being rebuked, its face turning pale and then red.
It impatiently interrupted the argument:
"Alright! Alright! Stop asking what the organization can do for you, and start asking what you can do for the organization. Now, tell me, what should we do?"
Huang Ku was the first to speak:
"I suggest we deal with Lan Ruoxi first. That crazy woman has been watching me closely; if I show even the slightest weakness, she'll kill me instantly!"
But the big rat immediately shook its head and objected:
"No! The price to pay for dealing with Lan Ruoxi is too high! In my opinion, we should deal with Zhang Lingyun first."
"No! If you make a move against Zhang Lingyun first, Lan Ruoxi will definitely come after me."
"What are you afraid of? God will protect you."
"You fucking..."
Just as the two were arguing, Yu Li, who had been silent all along, suddenly sighed:
"What you're saying are all minor matters. You should listen to my advice instead."
Huang Ku frowned and asked:
"What do you mean? Is there someone more dangerous than Lan Ruoxi?"
Yu Li's voice trembled slightly:
"I suggest we deal with the fraudsters first."
Huang Ku's expression changed drastically in an instant, and he said:
"A con artist? Wasn't he dead a long time ago?"
The big rat also said decisively:
"That's right! The conman is dead! I can guarantee that with my word!"
Yu Li shook his head and said with a wry smile:
"Not only did he not die, but he also joined the Four-Leaf Clover Hermitage. Back in Dongxing City, I was saved thanks to him."
Then, he recounted his experiences in Dongxing City to the two of them in detail.
After hearing his story, Huang Ku and the big rat both fell silent.
The sea fog grew thicker, and the roar of the waves became even more piercing.
After a long while, Huang Ku finally spoke with difficulty:
"If...if the conman really comes back, then all our plans will be scrapped."
The big rat still couldn't accept it:
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! He must be dead."
Yu Li sighed and said:
"The Clover Hermitage, this organization is too mysterious. Maybe they have some kind of magic that brought the con artist back to life."
The big rat gasped:
"If that's the case, we're in big trouble. That's a man who deceived God. If he really comes back, the plan for the 'Coming of the Kingdom' will be impossible to complete."
The three stray dogs huddled together and whispered their plans until the wee hours of the morning.
Ultimately, they reached an agreement.
The big rat finally said:
"From now on, our top priority is to kill the fraudsters."
***
Zhang Lingyun posted the purchase request about three weeks later.
Finally, someone accepted the order.
He said he had just captured a suitable magical beast.
Zhang Lingyun immediately sent a private message to the other party:
"I need to take a look at that monster first."
Without any hesitation, the other party immediately initiated a video call.
Inside a metal pet cage, there was a fairy dragon.
This is a small dragon species, covered entirely in pale blue scales.
Under the light, it shimmered with tiny, scattered spots of light, making it look like a glowing puppy.
It has little offensive power, but it is extremely good at escaping and camouflaging.
That is precisely why they are so difficult to catch.
Then, the other party sent a long, boastful message:
"There are many kinds of magical beasts that can make auxiliary potions for the [Body Tempering Method], but dragons are definitely the best."
Potions made from its essence and blood are equivalent to having dragon blood integrated into your body, providing a physical boost that ordinary magical beasts cannot match.
Zhang Lingyun also thought it made sense.
Dragons have always been considered to be creatures with powerful physiques.
Otherwise, why would fitness athletes from the previous life all love the "Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin"?
He asked directly:
"How much?"
Unexpectedly, the other party made an outrageous demand, quoting a price that left even him speechless:
"One price, ten million."
Fortunately, one adult elven dragon is just enough to make five potions.
They could gather the amount needed by him, Xia Youran, Ding Shuangshuang, and Bailu in one go.
This solved all the problems once and for all.
Zhang Lingyun considered it for a moment.
The price was outrageously high, but he really needed it urgently.
In the end, I agreed.
Because the amount involved in this transaction was so large, the other party requested a face-to-face transaction.
The two quickly agreed on a time and place.
Zhang Lingyun was sitting on the sofa at home when she made the call.
Xia Youran lay down next to him, her bare legs draped over his, holding a book titled "Five Years of College Entrance Examination, Three Years of Simulation".
She listened to the entire negotiation, and a hint of worry appeared on her face:
"Could the other party be a scammer?"
Zhang Lingyun put down her phone, looked up at the ceiling, and let her mind wander for a few seconds:
"That's certainly possible. But it's a rare opportunity, and I have to go and see."
Xia Youran bit her moist lips:
"I'm still worried. How about I go with you?"
Zhang Lingyun waved his hand:
"You shouldn't go this time. If you go with me, I'll only worry about your safety."
Xia Youran whispered:
"You don't really need to be in such a hurry. Didn't your master promise to personally capture magical beasts for you?"
"That might take a year or two, and I can't wait that long."
"Could you ask your master to protect you?"
Zhang Lingyun touched her cheek:
"Are you stupid! I used the name of the Four-Leaf Clover Hermitage, and Master can't find out about this."
Xia Youran didn't say anything more.
She got up and went back to her room.
Less than two minutes later, she came out again.
She put on a pair of velvet stockings and sat back down on the sofa.
She coughed lightly, pretending nothing had happened, and picked up her reference book again.
Zhang Lingyun was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening.
He reached out and gently placed his hand on her leg, enjoying the silky smooth touch he hadn't felt in a long time.
But just as he was about to move his hand up, Xia Youran slapped it away.
Xia Youran didn't even look up, and said softly:
"Today, you are only allowed to do simulations, not real exam questions."
Zhang Lingyun chuckled softly:
"You little vixen, you really know how to seduce people."
"I was worried you were too tired, so I wanted to let you relax."
Zhang Lingyun gazed at her flushed profile, so exquisitely beautiful that it was impossible to look away:
"Um, can I make a request?"
Xia Youran continued reading, but blinked her big eyes and asked:
"What?"
"Could you wear your glasses next time?"
"What kind do you want?"
"With gold trim."
"With gold trim?...The kind Lan Ruoxi wore?"
"yes!"
Xia Youran glared at him, her pretty face flushed as she scolded him:
"You're a pervert!"
"Hehe! You're really good at judging people."
"Hate!"
-----------------
At lunchtime in the school cafeteria.
Zhang Lingyun and Wang Dong sat together.
Wang Dong's face lit up with excitement as he reminisced about Gao Yuanfan's humiliation that day.
Zhang Lingyun smiled and asked:
"How much did he spend in total that day?"
Wang Dong said with a smile:
"Around 150,000 or 160,000."
Zhang Lingyun frowned and asked:
"How can there be so many? Are there that many people in our school?"
Wang Dong grinned mischievously and said:
"I asked my roommates to spread the word, and we even invited people from the neighboring university over."
Zhang Lingyun was speechless.
It seems that people never find it troublesome when they are doing bad things.
Wang Dong sighed again:
"When will Xia Youran come to university too?"
Zhang Lingyun stopped chewing, looked at him, and said:
"Don't you dare try anything with my cousin."
Wang Dong almost spat out his food with a "pfft":
"What? Your cousin? Do you think no one can tell? Besides, I just wanted to brag to her. I'm not interested in little girls; I prefer more mature older women."
Just as Wang Dong started bragging again.
Ding Shuangshuang walked into the restaurant.
Senior students are facing a life-changing decision: whether to continue their studies or enter the workforce.
Ding Shuangshuang has been worried about this matter for the past few days, and her expression is more melancholy than usual.
So even though she was very beautiful, her classmates hesitated to approach her.
She walked past Zhang Lingyun and sat down at the table next to her.
The students at the same table quickly pretended to have something to do and hurriedly left with their trays.
Ding Shuangshuang glanced at them a few times, but didn't say hello.
The two must pretend to be enemies in public.
That idiot Wang Dong secretly glanced at Ding Shuangshuang and asked:
"Do you think she's interested in me? I like mature senior girls like her."
