I can see the blood bar and my purity is extremely high

Chapter 549: The silkworm will not stop spinning silk until it dies, and the candle will not stop shedding tears until it burns down to ashes

Imperial Capital University is very close to the giant space gate in the center of Imperial City.

There is a passage in the campus that leads directly to the core area in the center, and there is no mixing with the military or civilian warriors.

If you say it's far, then it's far.

The overall layout of the campus is fan-shaped, located in the northern part of the imperial capital, encompassing two mountain ranges.

This is an area of ​​teaching and protection, as well as a place for training and fighting.

Countless war beasts were captured from the wild and released into the wild.

While ensuring the safety of the area around the imperial capital, they also serve as objects of training in martial arts.

If they were not captured and populated artificially, the war beasts in these two mountains would not be able to withstand the ferocious Imperial University students and would be killed in less than two months.

The Yu family’s business car is relatively low-key and has no exaggerated decoration.

Although this type of car is not common in the imperial capital, it is not rare either and did not attract onlookers or attention.

The freshmen who were expecting to be welcomed into the campus by their seniors had no idea that several well-known figures whom they had just seen on the news were passing by them.

The Yu family's business car drove all the way into the campus and entered the newly built Lingchu Department along the way.

Many students looked curiously at this unopened area when passing by, but not many really made up their minds to apply for it, and even fewer wanted to choose it as a minor.

Lingchu, as soon as you hear it, it seems to be related to cooking.

As a warrior, after reaching the third level of heaven, you can fast and live on air. What’s the point of cooking delicious food?

As early as the beginning of the martial arts competition, the official media had released the news that the Imperial Capital University had added a spiritual chef department.

Cooking aliens, turning decay into magic, making dishes have the effect of elixir
After such outrageous news was released, it naturally attracted the attention of graduating students.

Some people were dismissive of this, believing that the newly established departments must lack substance and were just exaggerated publicity, and they treated them as worn-out shoes;

Some people are curious about this and quietly put it on the list of electives, preparing to acquire an additional skill;
Some people heard that they could devour the flesh and blood of other races and turn it into martial arts nourishment, and they were filled with admiration and lofty ambitions, and secretly made up their minds to be admitted to the Spiritual Cooking Department to enhance the prestige of our human race;

Some people saw that everything about this newly born spiritual chef department was mysterious, and only the effects after learning were being promoted. They thought that the person behind this must be very important, and they secretly wanted to take a gamble.
In short, there are few people who are optimistic about it, few people who want to fight against aging, but there are many people who just want to have fun.

Except for the Imperial Capital's Alchemy Department.

Because they were directly affiliated with the newly created Lingchu Department and no longer had the various privileges of an independent department.

Different from the alchemists in the world of immortal cultivation who are all rich, the alchemists on Blue Star are really a bit unloved by everyone.

Although both are products that have been researched and developed since the stage of spiritual energy recovery, the alchemy system is much weaker than the equipment refining system that can develop rapidly by relying on the accumulation of materials science.

The creation of the pill recipe is full of countless dangers and requires massive amounts of funds and spiritual support.

This has resulted in an extremely slow development of this department.

In addition, this universe is already barren, and there are very few spiritual plants on the Blue Star, which makes the already abnormally developed alchemy industry even slower.

Even in the top martial arts universities like Imperial Capital University and Demon Capital University, few people take alchemy as their major. They just learn about it while practicing other aspects.

Compared with formations and refining equipment, alchemy is like being raised by a stepmother, and it is mainly humble.

There is nothing we can do about it. Who can blame the current environment for being so unfriendly to alchemy?

The reason why Imperial Capital University placed the Alchemy Department directly under the Spiritual Cooking Department and required alchemists to take a minor in Spiritual Cooking is very simple.

Refining medicine requires an incomparable understanding of the medicinal properties, a thorough knowledge of biological structures, the ability to extract essential substances and make proportions, and the ability to flexibly cast spiritual seals for stabilization.

Coincidentally, spiritual chefs are also needed.

The only thing is to present these "pills" in the form of dishes and make them taste better, striving to make them look, smell and taste good.

At least the alchemist has a good grasp of the properties of medicines, right?

In an age where every human being is a warrior, it is not difficult to develop good knife skills and control the heat when cooking.

But it is a bit too much to expect an excellent chef to master a large amount of pharmacology in a short period of time, memorize countless changes in properties and integrate them into his studies - unless he gives Xiaopang a cheat like Lu Wenwu did.

Therefore, alchemists naturally became the reserve force of spiritual chefs, and a new course was added as a compulsory course at the beginning of the new semester.

This is the best option, which can quickly produce a group of spiritual chefs who can cook the flesh and blood of exotic beasts.

The leaders of the Alchemy Department naturally followed the school leaders to welcome Lu Wenwu and his group who had come from afar.

After getting off the car, this was the scene Lu Wenwu saw.

A row of gray-haired old men and women stood behind a slightly fat middle-aged man, silently saluted him with slightly complicated expressions.

Seeing Lu Wenwu get off the car, the middle-aged man immediately showed a warm smile on his face.

"Mr. Lu, Professor Lu, I have heard of your great name for a long time! I am fortunate to meet you today, you are indeed extraordinary and heroic!"

He took a few quick steps, came to Lu Wenwu breathlessly, bent down slightly, and extended his hand.

"I'm the vice president of Imperial Capital Martial Arts University. My last name is Wei, Wei Yongning. You can call me Xiao Wei."

The vice-president kept a very humble attitude, and his brows were filled with joy when he spoke. It was obvious that he was really very happy.

"Hello, Principal Wei."

Lu Wenwu placed Maomao and Xiaobao on his shoulders respectively and stretched out his hand to shake hands with him a few times.

His eyes swept over his left foot, which looked a little lame, and his slightly round belly, as if he was thinking about something.

Wei Yongning smiled and said, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Lu. The principal should have come to greet you in person, but he was notified of an emergency and had to attend a meeting. I have to take his place temporarily. I hope you don't mind."

"Of course not. I have heard a little about this meeting." Lu Wenwu nodded slightly.

Just now when he was in the car, he received a message from the God of War, saying that there were some sudden shocks in the center of the ocean.

In the area where the shock was most intense, fluctuations in the power of time and space were detected.

The higher-ups suspected that a new space gate or relic cave was about to appear, so they held an emergency defense meeting to finalize the monitoring personnel and follow-up measures.

Because Lu Wenwu had previously proposed that he hoped to participate in the exploration of the ruins and cave.

That's why the Martial Saint Yushen sent a message to inform everyone, saying that the human race has not forgotten the agreement, but the matter has not yet been finalized, and he hopes that there will be no rifts or misunderstandings because of it.

“Thank you for your generosity and understanding.”

Wei Yongning's smile became even brighter, and he turned his slightly fat body to the side.

"Mr. Lu, these are the professors and academic leaders of the Alchemy Department of our Imperial Capital Wu University mentioned before. From left to right they are..." Following Wei Yongning's introduction, Lu Wenwu nodded to each other one by one, with a golden light flashing in his eyes.

He had a clear view of the physical conditions of all the professors in the Alchemy Department, including Wei Yongning himself.

After he had finished introducing all of them and Lu Wenwu had looked at everyone, he asked in confusion, "Principal Wei, there is one thing I don't understand. Can you explain it to me?"

"Of course there's nothing wrong with that. I'll tell you everything I know." Wei Yongning patted his chest and promised.

"What I want to ask is, why are the health conditions of everyone, including you, so worrying?" Lu Wenwu hesitated for a few seconds before reluctantly choosing a suitable word.

Saying that these professors are in poor health is already very respectful.

If Lu Wenwu was the principal at this time, he might have approved retirement certificates for these people, allowing them to return home and enjoy their retirement.

Among them, Wei Yongning is in the best condition.

There was an extremely destructive force of law lurking in his body, entangled with his flesh, blood and bones like a maggot on the tarsal bone, from his left foot to his dantian in the abdomen.

The reason why Wei Yongning looked fat was that he had been using his own martial arts and strong blood to counteract it, forcibly offsetting it in his lower abdomen.

The flesh and blood is constantly breaking and repairing.

If this force of law were to rush into his dantian, he would probably explode and die instantly.

It is hard to imagine that Wei Yongning could smile so happily while enduring the pain of having half of his body cut into pieces, and his movements were almost the same as those of a normal person.

The one in the worst condition was Wei Changan, the head of the Alchemy Department—he was also Wei Yongning’s second uncle.

The skinny old man has the cultivation level of a Heavenly Martial Master and looks vigorous, but in fact he is just a dead body with half of his body already buried in the earth.

His body was covered with hideous and interlaced scars, and his energy and blood had atrophied to the extreme due to physical decline.

His body could only be described as riddled with holes.

Even though he had already opened up the two bridges of heaven and earth, and condensed his martial arts golden body and celestial martial body.

But the injuries he suffered in his youth still made his body unable to bear too much force, like a colander.

A martial arts body can only lock up the peak energy and blood that the body can currently withstand, but it cannot lock up the body itself that is constantly deteriorating due to injuries.

To say that the situation is worrying is already an exaggeration.

In Lu Wenwu's opinion, the fact that this person was able to stand here alive was already the result of his strong will to survive.

The fragile balance of this decaying body can have a ripple effect if even the slightest bit is broken.

Fall is just a matter of thought.

Now Wei Changan can still maintain the ability to move independently and can even make medicine. This is definitely a miracle in the history of life!
"Mr. Lu, are you wondering why we old guys, who should be lying in the emergency room of the hospital with IV drips and life-support devices waiting to die, are teaching and educating people here?" Wei Changan walked forward slowly step by step and asked calmly.

Lu Wenwu nodded: "Yes, to put it bluntly, your health conditions are not optimistic, and you are all at the point of a candle in the wind. I have learned about the school's class schedule. It is really a bit inhumane to ask you to bear such a heavy workload with your current health."

Lu Wenwu's wording was as tactful as possible.

But this is really hard to express.

It's as heartbreaking as seeing an old man who should be lying on an ICU bed being taken care of, still moving bricks under the scorching sun in 40-degree heat.

"All professors at Wuda are basically like this. Apart from life-long transformed monsters like you, only the disabled and those on leave become professors. Haha, cough, cough, cough."

Wei Changan started laughing, and then started coughing.

This forced Lu Wenwu to listen attentively while releasing a small ball of holy light into his body, which gave him some relief.

His health has reached a point of no return.

Holy light and vitality are not omnipotent and cannot repair a body that is already at its physiological limit.

This broken body could no longer withstand the massive amount of healing power.

"It's a magical power. I feel much better. Thank you Mr. Lu for your generosity."

After a small ball of holy light sank into his body, Wei Changan's withered and sunken cheeks became a little rosy, and he regained some "popularity".

He bowed his hands in thanks, and then explained again: "Most of the transformed demon cultivators have memories and knowledge in their bloodlines that we humans don't know about. These are extremely precious. Compared to sending these hard-earned companions to the battlefield, their brains and experience are more useful to us."

"As for us old and disabled guys, it's much simpler. Except for those who have come back to recuperate or take vacation, those who are in good health have already been fighting a desperate battle with the aliens on the starry sky battlefield. This is a war where even a step back will lead to the extinction of our race!"

"We are no longer strong enough and can no longer fight. If we force ourselves to go to the battlefield, we will only be a burden to our comrades. The only thing we can do, besides using our brains to make strategic suggestions, is to teach and educate people, right?"

"Those who can still fight can fight outside, and those of us who are injured and disabled will return to Blue Star to train the next generation and continue to send a steady stream of warriors into the starry sky battlefield to fight against those cruel alien invaders and defend our country!"

Having said that, Wei Changan looked at his nephew Wei Yongning, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.

"In the final analysis, the situation on the defense front has never been optimistic. Research and development, resistance, exploration, decryption, training... We have never had enough manpower, and it seems that there will never be enough."

"To fight against all the alien races with the strength of one clan, it seems that no matter how many warriors we have, it is not enough."

"Even if we, the martial arts universities, can train a group of heaven-stepping warriors every year, even if there are good seedlings emerging every year, facing the almost endless alien army, the number of our strong people still seems to be a drop in the bucket."

"As for us, we will try our best to help while we are still alive."

"This is the only solution. Don't we want those strong people who are at the peak of their powers to teach the children in person?"

"But no."

"The front line cannot be without them, and the human race cannot leave them."

"Without any help, we can only let the children go to the battlefield in person to experience the demeanor of the strong."

Hearing this, Lu Wenwu was moved, his face suddenly became serious, and he put Xiaobao and Maomao down.

Xiaobao transformed into a human form and stood side by side with Lu Wenwu.

There was no trace of the disdain and arrogance of the past in her expression, instead there was solemnity.

The two of them bowed to this group of respectable people in the same way.

They were once the sharpest blade of the human race, but after being forced to retreat to the second line, they chose to burn themselves out completely and squeeze their surplus value to the limit.

"Gentlemen, justice!" they said in unison.

Maomao has never learned the art of shapeshifting, but it also stood up and transformed into its majestic form, folding its two big furry paws together and bending its body to bow.

Even though they were already on the verge of death and suffering from injuries and illnesses, they still held on to their energy and silently burned out their last bit of life for the human race and the Blue Planet.

They are the most respectable people!
Worthy of this gift!
