Newsflash, newsflash, the number one street food in the Heavenly Court, stuffed buns ignored by Da Bai, are going on sale at half price tomorrow!
There would be a total of three thousand steamers of stuffed buns ignored by Da Bai on sale that day, and each student would be able to purchase a maximum of ten steamers!
This news instantly swept through The United University of Cultivation like wildfire.
“My G.o.d! I haven’t had stuffed buns ignored by Da Bai for a whole month; this is pure bliss!”
“There is going to be so much for sale at once, and they’re at half price. Would they still be as delicious as they once were?”
“There’s only one way to find out, I guess.”
“I have absolute faith in Senior Student An Lin! He won’t disappoint us!”
…
Just as all the students were engaged in heated discussions, An Lin was attending cla.s.ses.
The schoolyard lifestyle made him feel extremely carefree and relaxed.
A little fairy in a flowy white dress sat on An Lin’s shoulders as she blinked her emerald eyes with curiosity.
She had created quite a stir in the cla.s.sroom when she first appeared in front of everyone. Her miniature yet perfectly-proportioned body and her perfect features instantly drew everyone’s attention.
Some of the students even turned back to look at the beautiful little fairy with no regard for the teacher.
An Lin didn’t want to attract so much attention, but Tina insisted on attending cla.s.ses, so he brought her along after securing approval from Vice-Princ.i.p.al Yu Hua.
The lesson today was a pill refinement cla.s.s, and the teacher was Ye Jia, one of the renowned pill refinement masters of the Kingdom of the Nine States.
Xiaolan no longer needed to attend pill refinement cla.s.ses as she was already a Soul Creation Stage pill-refinement master, which was comparable to Ye Jia’s pill refinement rank.
Hmm, which meant that she could already become a teacher at The United University of Cultivation if she wanted to…
Tina listened to the lesson very intently. She had never learned about pill refinement in a systematic way before, and this lesson opened up a whole new world to her as her emerald eyes glowed with exuberance.
She would often conjure up white holy flames on her fingertips to emulate the teacher’s demonstrations; she was even more diligent and conscientious than An Lin.
An Lin was a noob at pill refinement. He was already at the pinnacle of the Flame Mastery Stage, but he planned to improve his rank since he now had his frying pan. There were many similarities between cooking and pill refinement in the immortal world as the concept of bringing out the essence in all food ingredients was quite similar to the concept of extracting the essence from medicinal ingredients.
He was the man who was going to become the Chef G.o.d, so he had to acc.u.mulate more theoretical knowledge!
After cla.s.s, Su Qianyun, Luo Ziping, Zong Yongyan, and Miao Tian all crowded around him as they looked at Tina with curiosity in their eyes while asking her one question after another.
Tina had never had an audience of so many giants before, and she immediately latched onto An Lin’s hair as she recoiled with embarra.s.sment.
In the end, it was the gentle and thoughtful Xuanyuan Cheng who dispersed the crowd before acting as a representative to collate all their questions as he asked Tina in their stead.
An Lin could see from the expression on Big Brother Cheng’s face that he was even more curious about Tina than the other students. Hence, An Lin thought for a moment before giving a brief recount of how he had met Tina.
This press conference of sorts pa.s.sed by soon, and the day of cla.s.ses drew to a conclusion.
Tina felt like she had learned a lot, and she said that she was going to continue to attend An Lin’s cla.s.ses.
It felt a little weird to An Lin that a Return to Void Stage fairy was so keen to attend cla.s.ses taught by Soul Formation Stage teachers…
However, each skill was highly specialized, so there was always something to learn.
An Lin hosted a huge feast in his dorm room that night.
An Lin was going to invite all his friends to the feast in celebration of his return from the perilous Ancient Tai Chu Realm, as well as the completion of his mission.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were preparing food for a hotpot tonight!
The flavor-enhancement ability of the frying pan worked for hotpot as well, so this was going to be quite a delicious feast!
Xuanyuan Cheng, Su Qianyun, Tang Ximen, Liu Qianhuan, Yao Mingxi, Hu Guan, Yao Xiu, and Liu Dabao all arrived at An Lin’s dorm room, where they were instantly rooted to the spot by the scene before their eyes.
“Wow! What an adorable snow soul beast!” Su Qianyun’s eyes glowed with an unprecedented light.
She completely tossed aside her composure and poise as a princess and immediately pounced on Xue Zhantian.
“What a large Poro! Wait, not only is this a large Poro, but it also has wings!” Liu Qianhuan made her way toward Xue Zhantian before rubbing her hands through his soft-warm fur.
Yao Xiu and Miao Tian also joined in on the party.
“Stupid women, unhand me at once! If you weren’t friends of my Master, I would have struck all of you down…” Xue Zhantian’s round body was being ravaged and twisted into all sorts of different shapes by the sets of prying hands.
“Poro Poro… I’m Lux. If I toss you at Su Qianyun, would you be able to pull me to her?” Liu Qianhuan asked while grinning widely.
Xue Zhantian: “???”
An Lin buried his face in his hands. Liu Qianhuan was clearly in some gaming fantasy of hers. However, upon closer inspection, Xue Zhantian really did resemble the Poros in League of Valor.
An Lin then turned to find a bunch of men staring at him with scorching lights in their eyes.
Tang Ximen exclaimed in amazement, “You’ve fulfilled my wildest fantasies.”
Liu Dabao chimed in, “It’s just a pity that you’re too small…”
“Don’t say that, that’s embarra.s.sing to them,” Yao Mingxi dissuaded.
An Lin: “…”
An Lin knew these men weren’t looking at him, but instead at Tina, who was sitting on his shoulder.
From the looks department, Tina’s beauty was comparable to Chang’e. On top of that, she had a cute sprightliness that was unique to fairies, so it was no surprise that all these guys were reacting in such a way.
An Lin then introduced his disciple, Xiao Ze, to everyone.
After learning of the fact that Xiao Ze was a Primordial Dragon Tribe mighty figure at the pinnacle of the Return to Void intermediate Stage, it was time for their daily dose of shock.
Thankfully, they were used to receiving shocks from An Lin, and as a result, their hearts had grown stronger, thereby allowing them to recover in a short time before digging into the hotpot feast.
During the feast, everyone discussed their hopes and dreams.
Tang Ximen vowed to attain his domain prior to graduation.
He felt like he was a noob compared to everyone else as tears flowed down his face. He was actually quite a prodigy already under normal standards, but hanging out with a bunch of supremely talented prodigies like them heaped mountainous pressure onto him.
Liu Qianhuan was close to graduation, and she was undecided between going back to her sect or staying at the Heavenly Court. She also had a dream of going to Earth to become a gaming maniac…
Xuanyuan Cheng hoped to build up his sect while Su Qianyun wanted to capture a snow soul beast five hundred years later. Meanwhile, Liu Dabao dreamed of recovering his fair complexion someday…
Everyone ate and spoke to their hearts’ content.
Perhaps many years down the track, they would think back to tonight, to all these simple dreams they had stated, and reminisce on what a glorious time this was in their lives…
