Zheng Liang, the Head Prefect of the Alchemy Department's School of Plants and Vegetation, was a third-year student. He was handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He also had an air of elegance about him. Originally, he had come with a smile on his face, but when he saw Wang Baole and the surrounding girls, a strange expression appeared on his face.
It was as if Wang Baole's entire body was glowing like a Spirit Stone. As for the fervor of the girls, Zheng Liang couldn't help but smile wryly. It was a complicated feeling; it was the kind of jealousy one would get when someone from the Outer Branch came to pick up girls from the Inner Branch.
However, he was still the Head Prefect, so he quickly suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind. He laughed heartily, and a warm smile appeared on his face.
"Are you Junior Brother Baole? I am Zheng Liang from the Alchemy Department! " Zheng Liang's face was filled with enthusiasm, and he smiled as he approached. He was followed by seven or eight other students, all of whom suppressed the strange feeling in their hearts and clasped hands in greeting. At the same time, they sized up Wang Baole. Wang Baole's recent rise to fame had caused them to pay close attention to him.
"Greetings, Elder Brother Zheng!" Wang Baole noticed Zheng Liang, and quickly extricated himself from the crowd. He clasped hands and bowed, then flicked his sleeve to produce a Spirit Stone of ninety percent purity.
"Elder Brother Zheng, I've always admired people in the Dao of alchemy," Wang Baole said, chuckling as he placed the Spirit Stone in Zheng Liang's hand. "This is my first time here, so I should have prepared a gift. However, I came in a hurry. I personally concocted this Spirit Stone, so please accept it, Elder Brother."
The Spirit Stone was Wang Baole's return gift for the Crystal Memory Pill. When he mentioned that he had personally concocted the Spirit Stone, Zheng Liang's smile grew wider. He didn't stand on ceremony with Wang Baole. After putting the Spirit Stone away, he produced a medicinal pill bottle and handed it over.
"Junior Brother Baole, this is a Spirit Cleansing Pill that I concocted. It can clear your mind and help you remember things with half the effort."
One was interested in making friends, while the other was a smooth talker. Soon, the two of them were chatting happily.
The people who had followed Zheng Liang here looked at each other after witnessing this scene. They could see the deep meaning in each other's eyes, and they all realized that Wang Baole lived up to his reputation. They didn't know much about Wang Baole in other aspects, but they knew that he was extraordinary in the way he treated people.
Under Zheng Liang's lead, the two of them walked at the front. All the students they met on the way would greet them with cupped fists when they saw them.
Soon, the two of them became more familiar with each other. After introducing all the scenic spots in the Alchemy Department, Zheng Liang smiled and invited Wang Baole to his Head Prefect Pavilion.
The Head Prefect Pavilion was different from the Dharmic Armament faculty's. The most obvious difference was that the surrounding vegetation was filled with Spirit Qi. When Wang Baole saw it, he could not help but sigh in amazement.
"Junior Brother Baole, if you like it, I'll get someone to send you some seeds later. You can plant them around your cave abode and use them as decorations," Zheng Liang said generously with a smile.
Wang Baole immediately thanked him. Looking at the handsome Zheng Liang in front of him, he felt that Zheng Liang's temperament was very compatible with his. Therefore, he took out four Spirit Stones with 90% purity and handed them over.
Zheng Liang was delighted when he saw them. After carefully receiving them, he cupped his fists and bowed to Wang Baole.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Baole!" His expression was very sincere. On the one hand, he was in urgent need of 90% purity Spirit Stones. On the other hand, he wanted to make friends with Wang Baole. Furthermore, Wang Baole was also very generous. This made him have a good impression of him. After getting up, he took out two pill bottles and placed them in front of Wang Baole.
"Junior Brother Baole, there are a total of five Crystal Memory Pills here. Unfortunately, that's all I have. However, don't worry. I'll make arrangements later to purchase more for you."
According to their previous agreement in the voice transmission ring, one Spirit Stone would be exchanged for one pill. When Wang Baole saw that Zheng Liang had given him two extra pills, he knew that he was returning the favor. Therefore, he thanked him with a smile and put them away. Then, he began chatting with Zheng Liang. Although it was their first time meeting, they gradually regretted not having met earlier due to their joyful mood. In the end, when Zheng Liang heard Wang Baole say that he was curious about alchemy, he decided to invite him with a smile.
"Junior Brother Baole, if you aren't in a hurry to return, why don't I show you around our Alchemy faculty's alchemy lab? Our Alchemy faculty's alchemy lab is extremely large and can accommodate thousands of people refining pills at the same time. It's very lively inside, and outsiders are usually not allowed to enter. "
Wang Baole was indeed curious about alchemy, so he gladly agreed. Under Zheng Liang's lead, they arrived at the Alchemy faculty's famous alchemy lab. It was located in the interior of Alchemy Mountain and was extremely large. The moment they entered, Wang Baole felt a wave of heat surge towards him. He immediately saw a huge space in front of him.
There were thousands of alchemy furnaces in this space. A large number of Alchemy faculty students were refining pills beside the furnaces. There were also secret rooms in the surroundings that emitted medicinal fragrances.
This scene was very spectacular. When Wang Baole swept his gaze across it, he was deeply shocked.
"How is it? It's still a little different from your Dharmic Armament faculty's Spirit Cauldron Cave, right? " Zheng Liang laughed as he led Wang Baole in. When the surrounding people saw him, they immediately bowed respectfully.
"I previously thought that alchemy and artifact refinement were similar, but from the looks of it, there is still a huge difference." Wang Baole praised from the bottom of his heart. He had never been to the Spirit Cauldron Cave of the Dharmic Armament faculty, but he had heard of it. In principle, it was only open to senior students who had a certain level of understanding of Spirit Kernels. They could familiarize themselves with how to fuse materials and create simple Dharma artifacts that did not make the grade.
At that moment, while Wang Baole was praising, his gaze suddenly paused. He saw a girl in the crowd. She was wiping her sweat as she excitedly lifted the lid of the alchemy furnace in front of her. She even seemed to let out a cry of pleasant surprise.
"Little White Rabbit." Wang Baole's eyes lit up as he raised his hand and shouted.
"Zhou Xiaoya!"
At that moment, Little White Rabbit had opened the alchemy furnace and was happily looking at the pills she had refined. When she carefully took them out, she heard someone calling her. Therefore, she curiously looked around and quickly saw Wang Baole waving at her. She was immediately pleasantly surprised.
"Big Brother Baole!" Little White Rabbit's eyes were very bright. She was already in a good mood, but when she saw Wang Baole, she became even happier. She quickly ran a few steps to stand in front of Wang Baole.
"Zhou Xiaoya? Junior Brother Baole, I still remember that when you first came to the Dao College, you once confessed on the Spirit Intranet … "Zheng Liang's gaze swept past Zhou Xiaoya before looking at Wang Baole mockingly. At the same time, he remembered Zhou Xiaoya's name and was about to instruct someone to take care of her.
When the past was mentioned, Wang Baole was thick-skinned and laughed heartily. However, Zhou Xiaoya was thin-skinned and immediately blushed. She lowered her head shyly, but she suddenly thought of something and quickly raised her head again. She stretched out her hand and said happily.
"Big Brother Baole, I can already refine pills now. Look, this is the Rainbow Pill I just refined. Do you think it's pretty?" Zhou Xiaoya was very excited, as if she wanted to share her happiness with Wang Baole. In her white and tender palm, the Rainbow Pill seemed to be as beautiful as her.
"I think Little Sister Xiaoya's hand is prettier," Wang Baole said with a smile and a wink.
Little White Rabbit's face immediately turned red again. She glared at Wang Baole, but her heart was filled with joy.
"By the way, where's Du Min?" When he saw Little White Rabbit, Wang Baole thought of Du Min and couldn't help but look around. However, there were too many people here and he couldn't find Du Min's figure immediately.
"Big Sister Du Min, she's not here. She's amazing. She was taken in as a disciple of our Alchemy Department's dean and is learning alchemy from him." Little White Rabbit looked envious and proud at the same time. It seemed that the more outstanding Du Min was, the happier she was for her.
"She's that amazing?" Wang Baole was taken aback.
"Junior Brother Baole also knows Du Min?" Zheng Liang was surprised when he heard Du Min's name. When he noticed Wang Baole looking at him, he explained.
"This Du Min is very extraordinary. Her talent in alchemy is even more astonishing. She was taken in as a disciple of our dean. Although she's not Head Prefect, her status and identity are extraordinary."
Wang Baole rubbed his nose. He felt like he had been dealt a blow before he could flaunt his status as Head Prefect in front of Du Min. However, when he thought of Du Min's experiences since she was young, Wang Baole could only accept it.
"She's a straight-A student. She's always been a straight-A student since she was young!" While Wang Baole felt sour in his heart, he felt that he had to work harder. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if he was surpassed by Ping Min again.
After chatting with Little White Rabbit for a while, she soon bade farewell to Wang Baole as she had yet to finish refining another cauldron of pills despite her reluctance. She returned to continue her refinement.
As for Wang Baole, after watching for a while, he also bade farewell. With Zheng Liang sending him off, he walked to the entrance of Alchemy Peak.
After sending Wang Baole off, Zheng Liang looked at Wang Baole and suddenly spoke softly.
"Junior Brother Baole, I feel like an old friend to you at first sight. Although we're not close, I have to remind you that the waters of your Dharmic Armament faculty run deep …"
Wang Baole's expression changed as he listened attentively. When Zheng Liang saw Wang Baole's expression, he continued softly.
"The three Head Prefects of your Dharmic Armament faculty are different from the Head Prefects of the other faculties. They are very united.
"And because they are very close to the Vice-Chancellor, it resulted in the dean of your Dharmic Armament faculty being a figurehead when it comes to college discipline!
"And the main reason why the three Head Prefects of your Dharmic Armament faculty are united is because of the Spirit Kernel Head Prefect, Lin Tianhao. He has a huge background, but unfortunately, I was unable to find out his true identity." After Zheng Liang reminded Wang Baole of what he knew, he patted him on the shoulder and told him that someone would deliver the pills he had bought to the Dharmic Armament faculty before bidding him farewell.
Watching Zheng Liang walk away, Wang Baole blinked. He could hear Zheng Liang's kind intentions and reminder. After thinking for a while, he made a mental note of it.
"Isn't it just having a good father? He's a Head Prefect, and so am I. What's there to be afraid of!?
"Doesn't Zhuo Yifan have a background as well? I'll still beat him when I need to!" With this thought in mind, Wang Baole immediately felt more relaxed. He hummed a tune with his hands behind his back and returned to Dharmic Armament Peak. The moment he reached his cave abode, he saw Liu Daobin standing there respectfully with a bag in hand. It was as though he had been waiting for a long time. After noticing Wang Baole, Liu Daobin took a deep breath and tidied his clothes. He briskly took a few steps forward and cupped his fists at Wang Baole.
"Greetings, Head Prefect!"
"Daobin, you're here. You must have waited for a long time. Why didn't you tell me?" Wang Baole smiled. He felt that ever since Liu Daobin became an inspector, he seemed to have changed into a different person. Not only was he very disciplined, but the way he handled things was also very comfortable.
"It's fine. I just arrived as well." Liu Daobin said with a smile. Under Wang Baole's invitation, he entered the cave abode. However, he was always one step behind Wang Baole. This scene made Wang Baole feel as though he had learned something new.
After entering the cave abode, Liu Daobin nimbly cleaned the cave abode. He tidied up the many empty Ice Spirit Water bottles and snack bags to the side. Then, he skillfully took out the spirit tea and brewed it for Wang Baole.
That made Wang Baole raise his teacup and take a sip. He couldn't help but ask.
He couldn't help but ask, "Daobin, what does your family do?"
"That … My father is the Deputy City Lord of our hometown, Phoenix City. I don't dare to hide it from you, Head Prefect. During this period of time, I have often asked my father for advice on how to do things," Liu Daobin said awkwardly, a little embarrassed.
"Deputy City Lord?" Wang Baole's eyes widened as a strange feeling rose in his heart. Before he came to the Dao College, the Deputy City Lord of Phoenix City was definitely an important figure in Wang Baole's eyes. But now, the child of this important figure was obeying his orders. This made the strange feeling in his heart even more intense.
