Chapter 175: Second Recharge

“Yes, that’s it, take the medicine, take the medicine. If we’re talking about backgrounds, it’s even more unfair.”

“If you want your cultivation to catch up to those who are richer and more powerful, you have to work harder than them!”

Watching the girls before him, each relying on the medicine to stimulate their blood energy and train desperately, Wei Dai nodded in satisfaction.

Though there would be some pain at the start, once they tasted the benefits of the medicine, they would never again be able to tolerate the snail-paced speed of normal cultivation. They would only take more and more.

Even if the profit from a single vial was only a hundred spirit stones, just the elite class had a hundred disciples.

If each bought one bottle, that was already tens of thousands of spirit stones in income, let alone that many bought more than two bottles.

Moreover, the first-year disciples from other classes numbered over a thousand.

Ordinary disciples didn’t get the elite class’s treatment of a free vial every class; they only got one every three classes. If they wanted more, they had to buy.

Then he would instill a little sense of crisis, telling them that if they didn’t take more medicine, the gap between them and the elite class disciples would only grow wider.

They wouldn’t make it into the elite class next year either, so they would have to buy even more medicine.

Though, in truth, the number of changes in elite class positions each year was very small.

Aside from a few elite class disciples who fell behind due to bankruptcy or declining cultivation, it was completely unrealistic to surpass the better-treated, resource-richer elite class disciples through normal cultivation speed—unless they had some special encounter.

Based on Wei Dai’s teaching experience, the elite class roster changed by no more than ten people each semester.

Even if someone was lucky enough to squeeze in, they would be at the bottom, and if they didn’t keep spending spirit stones on resources, they might even be eliminated.

So the outcome was decided at the starting line; a fast start won half the battle.

The nearly thousand people behind had to fight for fewer than ten spots, while the elite class disciples at the bottom of the rankings had to regularly take medicine to keep their positions.

That was all his business opportunity—small gains adding up to a lot of spirit stones for him. Compared to that, beautiful girls were just floating clouds!

Just then, a silver-haired beauty walked up to him.

Although the Spiritual Moon Sect was full of beautiful women, and Wei Dai had long grown used to them, even tired of them, this girl before him still made his eyes light up.

It wasn’t that she was more beautiful or prettier than the others, but her temperament was very unique.

Neither a cold noble lady nor a pure girl, beneath a neutral beauty was a calm, composed, and natural air, even giving Wei Dai a sense of immortal elegance.

Many girls in the Spiritual Moon Sect had different temperaments, but most were deliberately cultivated.

No matter how well cultivated, they always left some artificial traces, but this girl’s immortal aura felt completely natural.

This feeling couldn’t be faked. Especially after dealing with so many beautiful girls from the Spiritual Moon Sect, Wei Dai was almost intimately familiar with the subtle changes in temperament.

His instinct told him that this girl was different. The temperament she carried even resembled that of a High-Level Cultivator.

Mu Yanxi naturally had no idea that Wei Dai had thought so much in such a short time after seeing her.

She had hesitated for a long time. After watching most of the disciples take the medicine, she finally mustered the courage to come up and claim her dose.

After all, her family didn’t have many spirit stones to begin with. If she didn’t cherish these precious free resources, she would soon be surpassed by the other girls.

If she fell out of the elite class, when would she ever achieve her dream of becoming a High-Level Cultivator and returning to her original world?

“Teacher Wei, hello. I’m here to collect my injection.”

Mu Yanxi followed Shangguan Yun’s advice—polite, respectful, but not too conspicuous. She maintained a calm demeanor, neither flattering nor making the teacher feel she was rejecting him.

“Qi Refining at the seventeenth layer—not bad. But your physical body is a bit weak. Otherwise, you could take two vials.”

Teacher Wei handed one vial to Mu Yanxi. Even though he made money selling medicine, he was still a teacher.

If a disciple couldn’t withstand the medicinal power, he would never recommend they take it. That was Wei Dai’s bottom line.

“Here.”

Mu Yanxi took the vial, a bit awkward.

She had never taken medicine before. Though she had seen other girls inject it into the side of their buttocks, she wasn’t sure if she could hit the right spot herself.

And why did it have to be a butt injection? Couldn’t it be somewhere else?

But if she had to lift her skirt and ask this male teacher to help her inject, that was too embarrassing. Mu Yanxi would rather stab herself randomly than let a man help.

Just then, Shangguan Yun walked over, took the vial, and said, “Let me help you. You look at a loss—nervous?”

With Shangguan Yun’s help, Mu Yanxi breathed a sigh of relief. She slightly lifted the hem of her skirt.

Unlike the other girls who casually flipped up their skirts, she only exposed a tiny bit of her side buttock. Shangguan Yun accurately jabbed the needle in.

Mu Yanxi only felt a slight sting on her side, as if an ice needle had quickly pierced into her body and then melted.

The cold medicinal liquid rapidly entered her system and began circulating through her limbs and bones.

At that moment, Mu Yanxi’s mind wandered.

Most girls in the Spiritual Moon Sect wore lace triangle panties or thongs, no one wore briefs. Probably to make injections easier, she guessed.

The cold medicinal liquid started turning into scorching medicinal power, spreading through her body like wildfire.

Mu Yanxi had already prepared herself to endure the pain.

Never mind the reactions of the other girls; even in her previous life, when she took elixirs, many of them made her feel like her body was being cut by knives or subjected to both ice and fire.

“Calm down, circulate your physical arts, absorb the medicinal power. That way it won’t hurt. If it feels uncomfortable, move vigorously—throw a few punches—”

But then, Mu Yanxi suddenly felt the blazing medicinal power rush toward her brain, scaring her out of her wits.

The brain was the most important part of the body. If such a violent medicinal power all surged into her brain, wouldn’t it instantly blow her head off? Was she experiencing Qi deviation?

That thought lasted only a moment. Before she could react, all the medicinal power had already rushed irresistibly into her brain, then vanished like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

Gone?

“Detected second-revolution spirit pill level energy. Immortal brain charge progress: 5%. New Function unlocked: Simulation Analysis.”

“The immortal brain can simulate the divine abilities and magic arts the owner has seen. Under suitable conditions, the owner can learn them quickly.”

The immortal brain’s voice rang in her mind.

“Ah?”

Mu Yanxi was baffled.

Just yesterday, she had been thinking about forming a band and using sound energy to charge the immortal brain. But what was this? It could directly use the power of medicinal pills to charge it instead?

And what did “Simulation Analysis” mean? It would let her directly learn the spells and abilities she saw?

Wasn’t that something only the unparalleled geniuses of her past life could do?

The problem was, doing that in this world—wasn’t there a copyright issue?
