"Would Dean Shang let you sacrifice your own chance of promotion?" Feng Yuqin asked.
"Actually, Dean Shang is a very nice person," Elder Kou said. "Although I want to level up myself, he spends most of his time in the Nine Heavens and on the extraterritorial battlefield. And with your strength, you won't stay in the academy for long. I'm worried that my strength won't keep up by then. So it's better to give away this pill and let Dean Shang protect you in the future."
Elder Kou thought that if he didn't level up, he could just stay away from the extraterritorial battlefield.
After all, he could also thrive in the academy.
But Dean Shang was much stronger than him.
He was also very kind to the academy's students.
When it came to a genius like Feng Yuqin, he would only be even better.
That's why Elder Kou wanted to give this breakthrough pill to Dean Shang.
Feng Yuqin's gaze fell on Elder Kou. She was somewhat moved by his selfless side.
She took out another pill bottle and handed it to Elder Kou.
"What's this..." Elder Kou took it over curiously.
When he saw the words "Breakthrough Pill" on it, he was stunned. "You... still have some?"
"Yeah, open it and take a look," Feng Yuqin said.
Originally, she didn't plan to take out so many pills.
But people like Elder Kou made Feng Yuqin realize that it was good to have a few more powerful people around.
As long as they weren't ungrateful.
"So... so many," Elder Kou was shocked.
Just by looking at the quantity in the pill bottle, there were at least about ten pills.
Elder Kou quickly came to his senses and stuffed the pills back into Feng Yuqin's hand. There was even a hint of reproach in his tone.
But this reproach was for Feng Yuqin's own good.
"Are you stupid? Why don't you keep so many breakthrough pills for yourself and instead give them away?" Elder Kou's tone and expression were completely those of someone who was frustrated with iron that couldn't be turned into steel.
Feng Yuqin: "..."
"Master, this Elder Kou is really nice," Xiaojin said.
Xiaoying nodded. "Yeah, he clearly needs the breakthrough pill very much, but when he saw so many of them, he not only didn't greedily swallow them but also stuffed them back to the master."
"Master, he's really worried about you," Hun Bing said beside them. "He even thought in his heart that you might have a problem with your brain for taking out so many pills. He was afraid that someone might kill you for the pills."
Hearing Hun Bing's words, Feng Yuqin's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Then she stuffed the pill bottle back into Elder Kou's hand. "I just said that I made these pills myself."
"Even if you made them yourself, it's not easy to find the spiritual herbs for the breakthrough pills," Elder Kou said anxiously. "What if you need them in the future but don't have any?"
"I have them," Feng Yuqin explained helplessly. "Moreover, it seems that I rarely need to use the breakthrough pills when I level up."
Basically, whenever she encountered some problems, she would break through.
Sometimes, after fighting with a magical beast and accumulating enough energy, she would level up.
Only occasionally when she needed to level up quickly would she use a breakthrough pill.
For others, the very important breakthrough pill was just like an ordinary pill to her.
Hearing Feng Yuqin's words, Elder Kou thought of the thunder tribulation last time.
Wasn't it true that Feng Yuqin had easily broken through from the Celestial Immortal Realm to the Small Perfection Realm?
"You must have other relatives and friends around you. You don't have to give me so many," Elder Kou said. "I can be cheeky and ask for one more. Then I'll leave one for Dean Shang. You can keep the rest for yourself."
"Really no need," Feng Yuqin said. "You've been in the academy for so long. You should know who is more reliable. For those who are going to the extraterritorial battlefield or are already there and are reliable, just give them one pill."
Feng Yuqin was very clear that for experts who had reached the Great Perfection Realm.
It usually took many years for them to level up even one rank.
If someone could level up one rank, they would truly have absolute say.
Especially in a place like the extraterritorial battlefield.
Having the say meant having one less risk.
Elder Kou didn't expect Feng Yuqin to know so much about the extraterritorial battlefield.
Thinking of the severe situation there.
He fell silent.
Yes, many people there needed the breakthrough pills.
Actually, Dean Shang was the dean of the Mountain and Sea Academy.
However, there were many elders in the Mountain and Sea Academy who were more senior than Dean Shang.
They gave up the position of dean and went to the extraterritorial battlefield.
It was just because stronger experts were needed there.
If one's strength was too weak, going there would just be like offering oneself as food to the Evil Demon Clan.
"So, you don't mind how I distribute them?" Elder Kou still wanted to confirm again.
"Not at all," Feng Yuqin glanced at Elder Kou. "On the extraterritorial battlefield, the five major academies are in a competitive relationship, right?"
Elder Kou sighed. "You came here today actually to inquire about the situation on the extraterritorial battlefield, right?"
Feng Yuqin didn't deny it.
She had chosen more than twenty tasks this time.
After she came back, she would definitely be able to reach the advanced class.
After entering the advanced class, there would be a quota to go to the extraterritorial battlefield.
By that time, she would have to enter the extraterritorial battlefield.
She needed to learn about the situation there in advance.
Then she could also make some preparations during this period.
"On the extraterritorial battlefield, there are not only the five major academies but also various forces from the Divine Realm," Elder Kou began to explain the situation on the extraterritorial battlefield to Feng Yuqin.
Normally, with Feng Yuqin's strength and situation, she wasn't supposed to know about the extraterritorial battlefield.
But Elder Kou knew that Feng Yuqin didn't level up in years.
She might level up in months.
Although she was currently at the initial stage of the Small Perfection Realm.
But the next time they met, her strength might catch up with his.
So he didn't mind telling her some things about the extraterritorial battlefield.
"Many elders or even ancestors of the big families in the Divine Realm have gone to the extraterritorial battlefield," Elder Kou said. "The situation there is quite severe, and there are casualties every day."
"Fighting every day?" Feng Yuqin frowned. "Are there really that many people from the Evil Demon Clan?"
This instantly made her think of Mo Xuanye.
Xiaoling'er had contacted her before. Calculating the time, he should be arriving around these two days.
Mo Xuanye's return meant that the situation between the Demon Clan and the Evil Demon Clan had been brought under control.
"The fighting doesn't happen every day, but they often launch surprise attacks, so our people can't slack off for a single day," Elder Kou continued to tell Feng Yuqin about the situation on the extraterritorial battlefield.
Feng Yuqin listened quite attentively.
After about an hour, Elder Kou finally explained the situation there as well as some things about the Divine Realm to Feng Yuqin.
After listening, Feng Yuqin was silent for a while. Then she took out a lot more pills and gave them to Elder Kou. Her tone was extremely domineering. "I don't care about other forces. After all, I don't belong to them. But now the Mountain and Sea Academy is being suppressed by several forces. I hope that with these things of mine, when I go to the extraterritorial battlefield, our people won't be suppressed too much."
Actually, after listening, Feng Yuqin also knew that most of the people in the Mountain and Sea Academy were upright.
They were unwilling to collude with others, so they were in an awkward situation because of those who formed cliques.
But she believed that with strength, no matter how many cliques there were... just give them a good beating.
They would surely be as obedient as kittens.
