Chapter 1965: The Lucky Forest

Because of this, Xi Muzheng looked at Zhu Yanyi, who stood nearby looking carefree. She felt a bit envious of her. She was so young, yet already possessed such great ability.

With Zhu Yanyi’s method, everyone had started practicing on the way back. Of course, the results were not high at first. But there was one thing: every student who used this method saw their mental power improve. Just this point alone was an unexpected surprise.

Before they knew it, they finally arrived at the Sage Academy.

From leaving to returning, Zhu Yanyi realized only a few months had passed. Yet, her state of mind had changed. The atmosphere at the Sage Academy was peaceful, while the atmosphere at the Linlang Trial Ground had been quite oppressive.

Back at the academy, everyone returned to their own dormitories. At least now, everyone was present in their rooms, so they went back to rest and recover.

A few days later, Xi Muzheng asked the Ritual Court to prepare a celebration. He wanted everyone to celebrate their return together. After the celebration, everyone would return to their own tasks—those who should study would study, and those who should train would train. Naturally, the matter of going to the Lucky Forest was also brought up.

At this moment, inside the Lucky Forest, there was also a sense of tension.

Little Yun looked determined. "No matter what, the Great Shaman is not here. We must defend our home. When the Great Shaman returns, everything will be fine."

"Yes." The beastmen and elves in the Lucky Forest nodded seriously.

"But what should we do?" Anan frowned, looking troubled.

Little Yun thought for a moment, then seemed to have an idea. "Wait a moment." She hurried to her room and brought back a stack of comic books.

"Look, this is the Thirty-Six Stratagems. We will follow these plans." Little Yun began to explain seriously how to prepare and design their next moves.

Seeing Little Yun speak so logically, the others naturally did not object. They listened carefully, occasionally expressing their support.

Soon, everyone in the Lucky Forest began executing their tasks. Although they were not very skilled, they were starting to look organized.

At the Sage Academy, Zhu Yanyi looked at Xi Muzheng. "Heh, you are really good at being a hands-off boss."

It turned out that Xi Muzheng wanted Zhu Yanyi to lead the team to the Lucky Forest.

"You suggested it yourself. I thought the people here have lower cultivation than you, so it is better for you to lead the team," Xi Muzheng said directly.

Zhu Yanyi snorted. "I provided the clue, so I have to take responsibility? Your plan is really good. However…" Zhu Yanyi looked at Xi Muzheng and smiled. "I can go, but what is my reward?"

"What reward do you want?" Xi Muzheng could not see Zhu Yanyi’s current cultivation level.

There were only two possibilities. One was that Zhu Yanyi’s cultivation had surpassed her. The other was that she had a magical tool that hid her cultivation. Regardless, her cultivation was definitely not low. Last time, she saw she was at the peak of the Void Transformation stage, so breaking through to the Moving Void stage was possible now.

Zhu Yanyi tilted her head, looked at Xi Muzheng, thought for a moment, and said, "After the Lucky Forest matter is over, I want a vacation."

"A vacation?" Xi Muzheng looked at her curiously. "How long of a vacation?"

"Three months. I want to return to the mortal realm to visit my family," Zhu Yanyi said seriously.

Xi Muzheng knew that for cultivators like them, it was indeed inappropriate to return home after only a year. They could go to other planes to train, but they could not necessarily go to their own plane. "Or I can go to my own plane to train. That works too."

"Alright, I will give you three months of vacation then," Xi Muzheng finally agreed.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Actually, three months here is only one month for us. So it is actually very short."

After complaining, Zhu Yanyi added, "Well, who do you plan for me to take this time?"

Xi Muzheng gave Zhu Yanyi a list. "This time you go, I will give you forty-nine personnel. Including you, it is fifty people in total. Here is the list."

Zhu Yanyi looked at the list. There were familiar names, such as Ouyang Tianyun, Yi Yunfei, Jian Feiyan, Sikong Xuran, Hong Mei, Li Zhengyong, and Wen Ziyuan. There were also some people from the former Sixth Brigade, and some unfamiliar faces who should be from other brigades. Looking at this list of fifty people, every single one was an elite. It seemed Xi Muzheng had invested heavily in this trip to the Lucky Forest.

The list was given, but the departure date was set for five days later. During these few days, Zhu Yanyi first needed to create a temporary group on the communicator, pull the other forty-nine people in, and then start making various assignments.

"Are all the weapons for the trip ready?"

"We are still missing fifty spirit bullets. We will buy them tomorrow."

"Is all the food for the trip ready?"

"It is already prepared. According to requirements, we prepared an extra hundred portions of fruit and a hundred portions of pastries."

"How is the situation with the pills?"

"We prepared five hundred Yuanling Pills, five hundred Yangshen Pills, one hundred Baoling Pills provided by Junior Sister, five hundred Huichun Pills, and three hundred Qianyuan Pills. Basically, everything is ready?"

"How is the camping equipment prepared?"

"We prepared tents for one hundred and fifty people. Fifty single tents for ourselves, and fifty double tents and fifty four-person tents, prepared just in case."

"Has the flying boat been checked?"

"It has been checked and is ready. Spirit stones are also prepared. We can depart at any time."

…

In the group chat, everyone was busy discussing various matters. Zhu Yanyi was naturally busy too. Besides checking the preparations every day, she also had to prepare various pills.

In addition to the pills mentioned above, Zhu Yanyi prepared many healing and life-saving pills. She was mainly worried that someone might get injured, in which case life-saving measures would be very important.

"Now we need to prepare various medicinal herbs and medical surgical equipment. For the herbs, Senior Brother Sikong will take the lead. For the medical surgical equipment, Senior Brother Yi Yunfei and Senior Brother Ouyang Tianyun will be responsible. We also need to prepare various drinking water and antidotes. This will be handled by Senior Sister Jian Feiyan and Senior Sister Hong Mei."

Zhu Yanyi quickly distributed the next tasks in the group.

This was a rescue mission, so besides weapons, medical supplies were also essential. Zhu Yanyi’s decision was completely correct.

Seeing Zhu Yanyi give orders in an orderly manner, the others naturally went to prepare without saying a word.
