"Sis, where can I buy this Yu腥草? Can you get me some more? I'll power up to 40 cards in one go."

Su Yue asked.

Wang Lu Feng was already dizzy from vomiting.

Wang Nanguo was so angry his liver hurt, this son of his was hopeless.

"What, you want to eat more?"

Xu Baiyan was shocked, and Yang Lezhi was also dumbfounded.

Does this guy have a special fetish or something?

Wang Nanguo was even more infuriated.

Look at Su Yue, so accomplished. At this point, he's still challenging himself.

And you!

You can't even sip the soup, let alone chew the Yu腥草 raw.

"Yeah, though the taste is bad, it's a hundred times more effective than Qi Blood Pill. I need to wash my bones and quickly cultivate Qi Blood!"

Su Yue nodded.

Without a sense of taste, does this count as cheating?

"Sorry, Yu腥草 is rare. Although it only works on lower-level martial artists, it's precious to the military and can't be bought!"

Yang Lezhi quashed Su Yue's idea of cheating.

"The military?

"I need to ask General Pan to pull some strings and get me a dozen more.

"After all, he's a major general; he should have this authority!"

Su Yue mumbled, furrowing his brows as if he meant it.

Although his voice wasn't loud, everyone in the ward could hear him.

Instantly, there was dead silence.

Asking a major general to embezzle benefits?

How gutsy can you be?

Of course, Yang Lezhi was still quite shaken.

A major general.

This kid Su Yue, what a terrifying background.

Previously, when Su Yue was awarded his rank, Pan Yizheng personally guarded him and cared unusually afterward, proving a lot of things.

Su Yue being formidable means Xu Baiyan is formidable too.

In the future, life will be even harder.

...

"Su Yue, don't get too full of yourself!

"Yu腥草 is extremely cold and domineering. Swallowing it once occasionally is fine, but if you dare eat another, I guarantee the cold will invade your body, leaving half of you paralyzed. Swallow five, and I'll personally cremate your body."

Suddenly, a cold voice came from outside the door.

Pan Yizheng pushed the door open and entered.

The smell!

The lingering stench was overwhelming.

Pan Yizheng had actually been here for a while but stayed outside because of the smell. Now that it's mostly gone, he came in.

"General Pan..."

Everyone stood up quickly, and Su Yue scratched his head.

The most awkward thing is gossiping about someone, only for them to overhear from outside the door.

"Su Yue, I, a dignified major general, am truly not afraid to embezzle, but if I manage to get you Yu腥草, would you dare eat it?"

Pan Yizheng looked down on Su Yue.

"General, we're just messing around!"

Su Yue chuckled sheepishly.

If Pan Yizheng hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have realized that his body did feel a bit chilly inside. Though it wasn't serious, accumulating it could indeed be deadly.

"The growing places of Yu腥草 are hard to find, and the military can only bring back a small amount from the wetlands. Meanwhile, low-level martial artists are as numerous as cattle in the Divine Land, and orders for special Qi Blood Pills from various Wuda schools are already queued until the year after next.

"Maybe the whole Divine Land should support just you, and no one else should cultivate."

Pan Yizheng maintained a stern expression.

"Su Yue, General Pan is right. This Yu腥草 was something I barely survived to obtain. You shouldn't have such thoughts."

Yang Lezhi also quickly added.

"Let's put the Yu腥草 issue aside for now.

"Su Yue, are you really planning to wash your bones a second time?"

Pan Yizheng furrowed his brows even deeper.

"Yes, I have decided."

Su Yue nodded solemnly.

He's at 34 cards now, and it'd be foolish not to continue bone washing.

As Su Yue finished speaking, the temperature in the ward suddenly dropped.

Xu Baiyan and the others exchanged glances; was Pan Yizheng unhappy?

In fact, it's understandable upon reflection.

The platinum bone statue is peculiar, sparking and shooting flames here and there, often causing trouble in the wetlands.

The Warring States Army's seven corps once made many sacrifices for the platinum bone statue.

It's normal for a major general like Pan Yizheng not to like the platinum bone statue.

Su Yue felt a bit guilty.

By worldly standards, the platinum bone statue does seem troublesome.

"General, I..."

"Good!"

Su Yue originally wanted to explain a bit, but Pan Yizheng interrupted him abruptly.

"Such ambition!

"You must cultivate to the platinum bone statue level, then enter the depths of the wetlands, tear the local grandmaster apart, and cause a major stir!

"Once you're in the wetlands, strong warriors will naturally ensure your safety; there's no need to worry!

"Earth's martial arts have developed for so many years; the number of basic martial artists has skyrocketed, but grandmasters are becoming scarce.

"You must persist in bone washing and never give up!"

Pan Yizheng fiercely patted Su Yue's shoulder, causing Su Yue to grimace in pain.

I'm washing my bones, so why are you so excited?

Wang Nanguo and the others were dumbfounded.

It turned out they were the narrow-minded ones; Pan Yizheng actually hoped for the emergence of the platinum bone statue.

Unfortunately, his incompetent son... oh well, the platinum bone statue requires opportunity; even having a gold bone statue means having grandmaster potential.

Wang Nanguo glanced at his son and sighed internally.

It's fake to say he isn't envious.

"Su Yue, I came this time in a hurry, and I didn't bring any gifts.

"This platinum liquid can be used when you wash your bones a second time!"

Pan Yizheng didn't waste words; he directly took a box from his pocket.

Inside the box lay a glass container the size of a finger.

Though it's called platinum liquid, it appeared gold in color, and the liquid was thick.

"Platinum liquid is priceless in the market and can usually only be exchanged with merits at the military department!

"Some geniuses sign military contracts with the army to wash their bones; this stuff can't be valued by normal means."

Yang Lezhi murmured on the side.

"It seems like this platinum liquid is even more precious than Yuxing grass."

Su Yue mumbled to himself.

"The Military Department has urgent matters, I must leave first!"

Pan Yizheng gritted his teeth and departed.

The military indeed had important issues, he couldn't delay for too long.

Besides, he had to leave, lest he regrets giving away the platinum liquid.

Yuxing grass!

How can that thing compare to platinum liquid?

What an idiot.

...

"Su Yue, never speak recklessly. This platinum liquid cannot be measured with money."

Wang Nanguo quickly said.

"I see, it looks like I've taken on another debt of gratitude!"

Su Yue sighed.

"The general has already said, after you break through to Grandmaster and kill a few alien races in the wetland, this debt will be settled, haha!"

Wang Nanguo laughed.

"That's right.

"Previously, I received quite a few Qi Blood Pills from him, now with the golden bone elephant, it's a perfect answer.

"This vial of platinum liquid, I certainly won't disappoint. In the future, I will repay you with the head of an Alien Race Grandmaster!"

Su Yue solemnly declared.

...

After Pan Yizheng left, Gong Ling and the others arrived.

Hearing Gong Ling's voice from afar, Wang Lu Feng actually fled through the door.

What a joke, if the goddess smells the stench from my mouth, there will definitely be misunderstandings.

Escape is the best strategy.

"Hey... Wang Lu Feng, where are you going? What is this smell?"

In the hallway, Wang Lu Feng brushed past Gong Ling.

Gong Ling hurriedly called out.

Teacher Ding Beitu is unharmed, Gong Ling has already forgiven Wang Lu Feng.

But why is he running?

And this smell... it's so disgusting.

Unfortunately, Wang Lu Feng ran off without turning back.

"Maybe he still feels guilty!"

Gong Ling shook her head.

"You guys chat first, the Investigation and Arrest Bureau has some matters to attend to, I'll be leaving as well.

"Su Yue, I came in a hurry this time without bringing any gifts. I've prepared some Qi Blood Pills, which I've given to Instructor Dai. He'll give them to you later.

"You must be Gong Ling, what a good girl!"

Just as Gong Ling and others entered, Wang Nanguo took his leave.

At the same time, he glanced at Gong Ling thoughtfully, this heroic and vigorous girl is a good one.

Even though his son is a disappointment, his eyesight is not bad.

Xu Baiyan signaled Yang Lezhi, and the two also left the ward.

This place is left for Su Yue's classmates.

"Student Su Yue, tomorrow I'll come to discuss the signing issue with you."

Yang Lezhi left reluctantly.

The Yuxing grass is gone, and the serious matters are not yet done.

...

Gong Ling and Liao Ping expressed their concern and worries, especially Liao Ji, who absolutely refused to mention challenges again.

After chatting for a while, everyone left, after all, Su Yue was recovering, and prolonged disturbance was inconvenient.

Dai Yuegui and Sun Zhiwei did not come, anything that needed to be discussed would wait until Su Yue recovered, there was no rush.

The once noisy ward, quieted down.

The foul odor had dissipated considerably.

Su Yue fell into contemplation.

Unknowingly, the Qi Blood value had reached 34 cards, a speed that was somewhat surprising.

The basic knife technique had also been mastered successfully.

For a moment, he felt a bit lost instead.

In the system, the diligence points remaining were 1669, adding some more could exchange for an additional 2 cards of Qi Blood.

That would make 36 cards.

Still 4 cards short of 40.

But these last 4 cards of Qi Blood value are truly the hardest point.

He still hadn't reached the sealed grade, and with Qi Blood at 34 cards, Su Yue himself wasn't confident.

Tough!

It's like eating at a buffet.

A person's stomach can only hold so much, while others are still trying to get full.

And you, you're already overstuffed.

The fuller you get, the harder it is to stuff more food in.

34 cards, already stretched to the limit, if it were to reach 36 cards, it might just burst.

The remaining 4 cards really left Su Yue without any leads.

There's still half a year until the college entrance exam, it seems distant, but it will fly by in the blink of an eye.

In half a year, reaching 40 cards is truly as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

"Forget it, the internal injuries are severe, I should just rest for now.

"In a few days, I'll ask Dai Yuegui and my sister... this platinum path is indeed lonely."

Su Yue shook his head.

He didn't exchange for sleep exemption, today he chose to sleep.

The basic knife technique was successful, even if Su Yue didn't sleep, he wouldn't know what to do.

...

The next day.

Breakfast was laid out before Su Yue.

It was sumptuous.

Big meat buns, pickled vegetables, white rice porridge, and some fruits.

Su Yue was also very hungry.

Unfortunately, when he picked up the food, it was like chewing on tasteless bubble gum, he even felt a bit nauseated.

There was absolutely no flavor.

Damn taste buds, please come back quickly, eating like this is like taking poison.

"Hey, Instructor Dai!"

Su Yue frowned and forced down a bun, just to maintain basic strength.

At this moment, Dai Yuegui and Sun Zhiwei walked in.

"Su Yue, is the breakfast not to your taste? Should I have the kitchen change it to meat pies?"

Sun Zhiwei saw Su Yue frowning and thought it was the breakfast that was the issue.
