It seemed that human wisdom was roughly the same everywhere; it all depended on how one applied it.
Zhu Yanyi thought having this group chat was quite nice. At least, everyone could notify others of their whereabouts. She glanced at Ouyang Tianyun. "In this way, when Third Senior Brother goes out, it will be convenient for me to ask you to bring back local specialties when you return. I just need to leave a message."
Hearing this, Ouyang Tianyun spoke slowly, "I wonder if we can return this communication token?"
"No," everyone present answered in unison.
Ouyang Tianyun looked helpless. "Well, since we can't, I suppose I have to keep it. Although I feel like everyone is trying to tease me, I am still very easygoing."
Hearing his words, the big family burst into laughter.
The welcome 'eating' party made Zhu Yanyi feel the warm atmosphere of the Sage Academy again. No other school was as warm as the Sage Academy.
Two days after the welcome party, Ouyang Tianyun indeed went out alone. Zhu Yanyi took her place, regularly refining pills in the alchemy room. Of course, she spent more time learning pill refining from Elder Dan.
After a month, Elder Dan said directly to Zhu Yanyi, "I have taught you everything I can. From now on, it depends on your own practice. I have nothing more to teach regarding knowledge points. In the future, you must spend five days a month in the alchemy room to complete the refining tasks. You can study on your own during the rest of the time. If you have questions, you can ask me. From now on, it is your self-study time."
Zhu Yanyi nodded, not minding. She had indeed learned a lot of knowledge points. Most of them were those she had recorded in the library before; now, she was just deepening her understanding.
"Okay, Elder, I have remembered it." Zhu Yanyi knew that Elder Dan had done her job as a teacher. She had told her the key points. Whether she could apply them was her own business.
After understanding, Zhu Yanyi finished today's refining task and then returned.
Back in her dormitory, she heard the communication token vibrating. She took it out and saw it was from Jian Feiyan. She opened it and saw Jian Feiyan’s message: "Fifteen, I have run out of my whitening masks."
During this month, Zhu Yanyi had become very popular among the girls. Not only the female students, but also the female teachers in the academy liked the various masks Zhu Yanyi made. It showed that women's love for beauty did not change despite being in different planes.
Actually, cultivators would detoxify once every time they advanced in rank. So, no cultivator was ugly because excess fat would be eliminated, and unnecessary waste in the body would be expelled. However, women's pursuit of beauty was endless.
"Alright, Second Senior Sister, I have returned to the dormitory. You can come and get them." Zhu Yanyi replied with a smile.
Jian Feiyan’s reply was quick: "I am coming over to get them right away."
Zhu Yanyi did not mind. She tended to the herbs in her courtyard. During this month, Zhu Yanyi’s small courtyard had grown full of many herbs, and many were medicinal flowers, such as honeysuckle and platycodon. They were beautiful and practical.
Zhu Yanyi picked a few jasmine flowers, planning to brew jasmine tea. As she was picking, Jian Feiyan entered. "Fifteen, it is so comfortable here."
Zhu Yanyi smiled, put down the basket with jasmine flowers, and casually handed two boxes of masks to Jian Feiyan. "One box lasts for two months. These will last for four months."
"I won't be polite then." Jian Feiyan did not hesitate. Then, she took out a high-grade spirit stone and gave it to Zhu Yanyi.
This was their internal price. Zhu Yanyi had also made some masks and entrusted the Pill Hall to sell them. It was said that one box sold for up to fifteen high-grade spirit stones. Zhu Yanyi usually only charged half, and the other half served as the handling fee for the Pill Hall. Therefore, the Pill Hall’s income had been quite good recently. Most importantly, they hoped Zhu Yanyi would make more things.
Actually, not only the masks Zhu Yanyi made, but also the high-grade pills she produced were sold by them. As for the top-grade pills Zhu Yanyi made, the academy usually kept them for their own use.
Moreover, the efficacy of Zhu Yanyi’s high-grade pills was close to top-grade. They were all fifth-level pills. One could imagine how many people were fighting to buy them. Not only high-grade ones, but even mid-grade ones were sold out instantly.
However, Zhu Yanyi’s talent was there. She only had a chance to produce high-grade pills when refining new formulas. Once familiar, unless she deliberately made high-grade pills, they were mostly top-grade.
Zhu Yanyi picked up the jasmine basket and continued to pick jasmine flowers. "In two days, there will be a large auction at the Paipai Hall. Second Senior Sister, are you going?"
"Yes," Jian Feiyan said seriously.
Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Second Senior Sister, do you have an invitation? If not, come with me?"
"I came to tell you about this matter. I want to participate in the auction of an item. Originally, Ninth Senior Sister had an invitation, and I wanted to use hers. But Ninth Senior Sister said you can bring four people, so I plan to go with you." Jian Feiyan answered directly.
This was also a characteristic of the Sage Academy students. There was no unnecessary hesitation. They spoke directly about any matter.
Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "I helped the Paipai Hall with a favor last time, so I received a golden invitation. I can bring four people. Besides Second Senior Sister, I have no one else. If anyone else wants to go, Second Senior Sister, please help me arrange it."
Zhu Yanyi did not bother with Jian Feiyan and directly told her about this matter.
"That’s great. First Senior Brother also wants to go. Then, I, First Senior Brother, Sixteen, and Seventeen will go with you. Since Third Senior Brother is not here, her quota will be taken by us." Jian Feiyan said with a smile. She mentioned Cui Changjiu and her sister because they had just arrived, so as the eldest senior brother and sister, they needed to take care of them in various aspects.
Zhu Yanyi had no objection to the personnel arrangement. "Okay, let’s do it as you say, Second Senior Sister. You arrange it."
"Then I will notify everyone." Jian Feiyan was always a straightforward person. Once she made a decision, she did not say much to others. She directly announced this decision in the group chat.
Naturally, there was a burst of cheers in the group. Except for a few who were away and expressed regret for not being able to attend, those at school calculated that basically everyone could participate in this large auction at the Paipai Hall.
"Second Senior Sister, you are too mean. You only told us about such a good thing now," Lei Danfeng said in the group.
"Anyway, Fourth, Ninth, and Eleventh Senior Sisters each have one invitation. They can each bring two people. You can go report to them. I, First Senior Brother, and Sixteen and Seventeen will follow Fifteen." Jian Feiyan said directly.
