With a bitter smile, Liu Yan said, "Who said I didn't go? I also went that year. Unfortunately … I didn't even pass the city competition before I was eliminated."
Frowning, Yan Guilai once again filled Liu Yan's cup with Marrow Cleansing Spirit Liquid and said in a deep voice, "That's why I said that there are definitely crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the slums. It's just that … no one has the ability to find them."
That's right …
With a sigh, Liu Yan said, "Actually, our Liu Family's Bitter Willow is very suitable for alchemy. Unfortunately … with the current assessment standards, we won't be able to pass."
Nodding, Yan Guilai's eyes lit up as he said, "Didn't you say that you don't know how to teach people how to fish? Actually, it's very simple. You just need to select those buried true alchemy geniuses. Wouldn't that be enough? "
Frowning, Liu Yan said, "You make it sound easy. But you have to know that even Aoki University can't find a good way to select geniuses. What can we do?"
Hearing Liu Yan's words, Yan Guilai couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Indeed, the true method of selecting geniuses had always been monopolized by the Lingmu Emperor and the original Aoki University.
If the method of selecting geniuses was leaked, then all the major clans would probably make a move and compete with Aoki University for the limited resources of geniuses.
As such, with the disappearance of the pill refinement inheritance, no one knew how to select the true pill refinement geniuses.
Fortunately, a hundred years ago, the head instructor of Aoki University's Tian Division, Shangguan Qianqiu, was now under Yan Guilai. Yan Guilai was very familiar with the method of selecting alchemy geniuses.
While thinking, Yan Guilai said, "I can tell you the method, and … I can also invest a lot of money. What you need to do is to follow my method and go to the slums to pick out the talents."
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, Liu Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. She subconsciously picked up the wine cup and drank the wine in one gulp.
Looking at Yan Guilai with excitement, Liu Yan said, "Are you really willing to invest a lot of money to select and cultivate those potential talents from those homeless children, to give them hope?"
Yan Guilai nodded and said, "Of course, why not?"
Bang …
Liu Yan fiercely placed the wine cup on the table and grabbed Yan Gui Lai's hands. She said with incomparable enthusiasm, "Thank you! You're too kind. I really don't know how to thank you. "
Waving his hand, Yan Guilai said, "In this world, you're not the only one who has a kind heart to help others. I have it too."
Pausing for a moment, Yan Gui Lai continued, "Moreover, once those true geniuses are selected and nurtured, all of my investment will be earned back several times, or even dozens of times, right?"
Nodding with a smile, Liu Yan said, "Although this is the case, this is a high-risk investment after all. Except for you, no one will invest so much money on those homeless children."
Patting Liu Yan's lily-white hand gently, Yan Guilai said, "This is a long-term and extremely heavy work. I only hope that you can persevere and do this thing, to bring a glimmer of hope to those desperate children."
Yes, yes …
Nodding with joy, Liu Yan said, "Don't worry, this is exactly what I've always wanted to do, but I don't have the ability to do it. Believe me, I will use all my heart and soul to do this thing well!"
Taking a deep breath, Liu Yan continued, "In a while, I will resign from the position of General Director of the Jinfeng Restaurant. I will concentrate all my energy to …"
Waving his hand, Yan Guilai said, "Don't! Why do you want to resign from the position of General Director of the Jinfeng Restaurant? You know … with this identity, it will be more convenient for you to do things. Otherwise, hmph … "
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, Liu Yan was stunned at first, then she smiled bitterly.
Yes, with the Great Chu royalty and the current level of corruption, without the Jinfeng Restaurant and the backing of the Seven Great Generals of the Human Race, even if she had more money, she wouldn't be able to do anything.
Looking at Liu Yan's enlightened expression, Yan Guilai took out a dozen gold notes and handed them to Liu Yan, saying, "Here are ten million taels of gold notes. Take it as starting capital. Use the city as a unit to select those buried geniuses."
Looking at the dozen gold notes in Yan Guilai's hand, Liu Yan suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! There's no need to use so much … "
Shaking his head, Yan Guilai said seriously, "Although our target is mainly the homeless children in the slums, if there are commoner children who are willing to participate in the test, we don't need to reject them!"
After pausing for a moment, Yan Gui Lai continued, "If you want to attract all the geniuses with potential to participate in the test, you have to give enough gimmicks and take out enough benefits. Otherwise, even the homeless children won't all come to participate."
Nodding in agreement, Liu Yan said, "Indeed, only by giving enough benefits and making the selection attractive enough can we attract more people to bring their children to participate in the test."
In a flash, Yan Guilai leaned close to Liu Yan's ear and whispered, "In fact, we can set up a golden competition for children. The total prize money is ten million taels of gold."
After a pause, Yan Guilai continued, "With the city as a unit, every child under the age of fifteen can pass the test for free once. Once they succeed, they will receive ten thousand taels of gold!"
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, Liu Yan couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. She said in horror, "No way! Ten thousand taels of gold, that's too much. "
With a leisurely smile, Yan Guilai said, "If we don't give an absolute temptation, how can we cause a huge sensation?"
But …
Looking at Yan Guilai hesitantly, Liu Yan said, "But if there are too many geniuses selected, where will we get so much money to give out the prize money? It's not worth it. "
Hearing Liu Yan's words, Yan Guilai couldn't help but laugh.
His selection criteria were based on Aoki University's standards.
There were not many geniuses like this. Even if you searched the whole human race, you might not be able to find a thousand of them.
If spending ten million taels of gold could select a thousand alchemy geniuses, then Yan Guilai would definitely make a huge profit.
While thinking, Liu Yan suddenly screamed. Holding the wine cup in a daze, she said, "Ah! I … How did I break through again? Now … I seem to have reached the Yin Yang Ninth Heaven! "
Nodding his head in satisfaction, Yan Guilai said with a smile, "Isn't this normal? Not to mention that you have the Bitter Willow Wu Ling, even if you were just an ordinary person, after drinking this level of spiritual liquid, you should also break through. "
Slowly standing up, Yan Guilai said, "Keep the rest of the wine. Drink it after you break through."
While speaking, Yan Guilai took out a small white jade bottle and said with a smile, "This is the perfect quality Nirvana Pill that I asked You Zai for. Find a time to break through to the Nirvana Realm, then immediately go and do your work."
After speaking, Yan Guilai waved his hand at Liu Yan, then turned around and rushed towards the secret room.
He had already reached the Nirvana Ninth Heaven. Next … It was time to take the Martial Emperor Pill and break through to the Martial Emperor Realm.
Tomorrow, the second round of the Azure Wood National Examination would begin.
Facing the Great Chu royalty and the possibility of assassination, Yan Guilai had to be fully prepared.
Watching Yan Guilai's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Liu Yan clenched the jade bottle in her hand. Life … has never been like this before. It was filled with vitality and hope.
After calming down, Liu Yan stood up and walked towards her room.
