Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

Chapter 152 Ready to Launch

Bai Qianqian took out twelve boxes, which made Meng Yu pause for a moment.

"A fruit without side effects that can enhance understanding; one that allows a person's comprehension to increase more than tenfold in a short time, lasting for an hour. Put simply, one fruit is equivalent to a Qi Refinement Realm practitioner learning for one year in a day, a Foundation Establishment realm for half a year; a person can use up to twelve at most, more would be ineffective. Spirit Awakening Fruits can help you better learn Formations and also Martial Training…"'

"Enhance understanding, more than tenfold, twelve fruits?"

Hearing Bai Qianqian's words, Meng Yu almost dropped the boxes.

Items that enhance understanding do exist in the Immortal Sect, but Meng Yu had never heard of them being sold anywhere, and as for their price, they could only be traded with Spirit Stones, comparable to Core Formation Elixirs in value. Well, not quite as valuable, but twelve Spirit Awakening Fruits could definitely be traded for a Core Formation Elixir!

Meng Yu looked at Bai Qianqian's extremely shabby Second Order Spiritual Robe and thought of her wearing an apron while gardening. He remembered how troubled she seemed when dealing with poor friends who came to borrow life-saving money, both of them crying together.

Isn't Bai Qianqian pretty poor, owing a huge debt for her Core Formation? How could she afford to buy Spirit Awakening Fruits, and twelve of them at that…

The rabbit still cried with tears streaming down, like a little girl who had been wronged. You're a Golden Core Master, aren't you ashamed!

Even though we have been together for half a year, even though you consider me a friend…this makes me really embarrassed.

Looking at the First Grade robe he had taken out and remembering the rabbit's joyful smile, Meng Yu recalled a short story, "Maggie's Gift."

What Meng Yu offered was a drop in the ocean, while the rabbit might have even thickened her skin to borrow money!

The rabbit is a good teacher, never once complaining about Meng Yu's poor natural talent, just gently tutoring him, imparting knowledge, and then, sneaking out to buy Spirit Awakening Fruits for Meng Yu…

It's no wonder that when the Immortal Sect was first established, those bigshots loved the jade rabbit so much!

Dammit, how did the Immortal Sects on that side fall to such a state? Having experienced the early Immortal Sects and the Mirror twelve, no wonder they feel it might as well be destroyed!!!

Look at what the remnants of those days have become!

"Qian Qian…"

"Mm (crying tone)."

"It's okay, I was just joking just now. I'm not afraid of those Nascent Souls or anything like that. Now it's them asking for me, not me asking them.

They won't come down to capture me either, after all, I will resist fiercely. If I can't beat them, I'll run; I was just exaggerating before.

Let's now start solving the issues of this esteemed principal, and also, please teach me well about Formations. I'll work hard to become a little Formation expert in half a year, to be able to handle some basic inquiries so that our business can proceed very well."

Meng Yu said with utmost sincerity.

Previously, he approached this technological exchange indifferently, even a failure did not matter much to him. It didn't matter, if the Immortal Sect failed, he would just tell the rabbit, and that the company's overseas venture failed. Could she actually run over to hold him accountable?

As for the rest, it wasn't his fault. He always had to ensure his own profits and safety. If you're unhappy, find another agent...

But now… Meng Yu was never afraid of threats or intimidation from others, but the tears and guilt of the little rabbit made him feel… like there was already a direction for the next ten and a hundred.

He thought he was ruthless at heart, but now, looking at those twelve boxes of Spirit Awakening Fruits, Meng Yu felt that he should do something.

Meng Yu didn't know the price of the Spirit Awakening Fruits, but they must be very valuable in Spirit Stones here as well.

A girl, for his future, went in debt!

She's truly a lunatic… Does she really deserve to be so kind to herself?

…

Penglai University, one day after the last conversation.

Zhuge Caihua is now a quiet and beautiful girl.

She dutifully served tea and water for everyone, prepared materials for her master, and kept silent, turning herself into an invisible presence.

The current scene is a bit frightening.

The old principal was not only not angered by Meng Yu's mockery, ah no, by the provocation from Meng Yu, and did not look down on Meng Yu for being impolite. On the contrary, he came with everyone to another larger meeting room to exchange views with several Golden Core practitioners, and he even notified other Golden Core Masters from the school to come over and made some calls, then passed the information on.

"Old Sun, take a look at these nine diagrams first, then come over."

"Old Lin, you've seen the information I sent. What do you think? What, it's not my research but a young man's, a Qi Refinement practitioner's own findings. What, you don't believe me? You're coming over right now?"

"Old Wang, don't rush, calm down, I know you greatly harmed your vital energy due to that research back then, and your health is not good now, so don't get agitated. We can chat slowly."

Okay… Some people, when provoked, go to provoke others; some people, when they discover great things, share them with others, even at midnight; they do not want their friends to delay the surprise.

The conference room of Penglai University is a Third Grade magical treasure. It's not only suffused with spiritual energy but also allows many people from the Supreme Star to project a strand of their Divine Sense into it, connecting to the room as if they were physically present.

The old principal made calls one by one, and then one by one, Foundation Establishment and Golden Core masters entered the conference room, including some individuals who were very familiar to Zhuge Caihua.

Some came to help, some were there just for the show, and some had even been involved in the planning back in the day.

These people were already full of indignation and unresolved feelings.

After Penglai University's failure, who knows how many people mocked and ridiculed them—after all, they consumed the resources and computing power of the Immortal Sect, affecting our research, aren't we supposed to talk about it?

Not only did they need to talk about it, they had to mention it frequently, even make films about it, broadcasting in various ways to let everyone know what Penglai University had turned into!

Everyone was scrutinizing the nine diagrams very carefully.

The nine diagrams were not just nine diagrams. Like many design plans, they included front, side views, and so on, with a plethora of text that was simple and straightforward yet concealed the key points, giving everyone a very familiar feeling.

Of all things to learn, why pick up the bad habits of business PowerPoint presentations? Which big shot wants to make everyone take the leap again?

Huh?

It was Meng Yu who came up with it. It's a shame for this kid; he's such a genius. Right, should we call Taibai University? Although they are a second-tier school, it doesn't stop us from reminding them, you had the chance to recruit Meng Yu back in the day. It's a pity, you let go of a Nascent Soul graduate...

Of course, there were also opposing views, and not just one or two.

"I admit, these nine diagrams and the concept are very good, but that doesn't mean they were researched by Meng Yu.

"When the Immortal Sect was first founded, there were similar ideas, and afterward, countless people researched them. Couldn't there have been a leak of information that Meng Yu got hold of?

"How could it be possible for Meng Yu alone to research all this? I'd rather believe he stumbled upon some treasure and then brought it out as part of a conspiracy."

As someone put forward this speculation, many agreed. What if it was that old demon from beyond our domain trying to pull something off?

After all, a young man, just twenty-one years old, spent a year and a half to achieve such results. He really thinks we're fools...

Just then, the communication company notified them that Meng Yu had come online once more, and this time, Meng Yu didn't go to the forums but instead contacted Zhuge Caihua through the messaging app.

...

After consoling Bai Qianqian to the point where her tears turned to laughter, Meng Yu pulled out even more clothes and hats from his storage ring like magic, making her so happy her ears danced. With that, the matter was temporarily settled.

Meng Yu figured out what he should do next.

Although he pulled Bai Qianqian's ears, he couldn't force her to say how much she had borrowed for the Spirit Awakening Fruits. But from her resolute expression, it was clear it was a truly large sum, so much so that she assured Meng Yu with a trembling voice that she could definitely repay the money.

Even though Meng Yu could now double that sum of money, he felt it wasn't the right time.

First of all, it was still about studying.

With the twelve Spirit Awakening Fruits, Meng Yu began to use them at a rate of one every two weeks.

This unusual fruit, just as Bai Qianqian had said, allowed him to quickly integrate and understand the rote-learned material in his mind that he couldn't comprehend before, as if he had studied it for a long time.

After resting for two days with the Spirit Awakening Fruit, he resumed his studies. Bai Qianqian continued to teach him, pouring in all sorts of knowledge, and again after two weeks, another Spirit Awakening Fruit.

In this way, Meng Yu ate all twelve Spirit Awakening Fruits. Under the guidance of Bai Qianqian, he finally completed the basic knowledge of Formation. If he had taken an Immortal Sect exam, he absolutely couldn't have passed the Second Grade Formation Master—not because his knowledge was insufficient, but because much of what he understood conflicted with the Immortal Sect's teachings.

However, by this time, taking more Spirit Awakening Fruits had no effect as their efficacy diminished with each subsequent use, and twelve was the limit.

In the meantime, Meng Yu didn't harbor any mischievous thoughts, like learning some other Martial Skill or anything. That wouldn't be good, really not good.

It was a very peaceful period, with Meng Yu studying the knowledge of Formation voraciously.

Until after more than a hundred days had passed.

This time, Meng Yu took a risk and teleported back to his original planet.

Over a hundred days, Bai Qianqian pondered the questions raised by the principal of Penglai University and searched the database for many similar ones, providing complete answers. Meng Yu was finally not just a rookie who knew the what but not the why.

Typically, after Meng Yu teleported to a Minor World, he would often lie low for a month, waiting for his skills to cool down so he could teleport again to Great Wu or the Moon-Watching Sect before taking action. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if he got blocked during a robbery.

But this time, Meng Yu decided to take a risk. A one-to-a-hundred time ratio allowed him to cultivate a truly studious character, after all, only a little over a day had passed on this side.

The timing was just right; delaying any longer wouldn't be good.
