Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 84 The Classroom is Different

After the competition ended, Qiu Ci did not go to see the results, but immediately left the secret realm and returned to his residence, opened the restrictions, and set up several isolation arrays, and then summoned the psychic machine body in the storage bag.

In an instant, a man in black steel armor appeared in front of him. Qiu Ci checked carefully and found a scratch the size of a fingernail on the other's chest. It was not very obvious and he would not have noticed it if he had not released his spiritual sense.

Her heart sank, as she was indeed hit by Lan Yuan's sword energy.

"System, what's going on? Why can that sword energy hurt the psychic machine?" Ever since she knew that all the people on Blue Star had ascended, she has always had absolute confidence in the products of Blue Star. This is the first time that something can hurt Blue Star's creations.

"Master, even the most sophisticated instruments have their limits, and the psychic machine aggregate is no exception. The previous blow reached its limit, so it's normal for it to be damaged. But don't worry, psychic machines have self-repair capabilities, and these scratches will disappear in half an hour."

"Is this what I'm worried about?" Qiu Ci grabbed the ball of light and rubbed it hard. "What I'm worried about is who emitted that sword energy? Will the other party find out that the soul fragment is me." What should I do if he comes to my door?
[Master, there's no need to worry about this. I've already tested it and detected fluctuations of spiritual energy in the sword energy.]

"What do you mean?" Qiu Ci asked in confusion.

[In other words, the sword energy wasn't emitted by a person, but rather a device storing sword energy was set up nearby, and when the owner approached, it was triggered.]

"Sword talisman?" Qiu Ci thought of this instantly. The talisman can store sword energy.

"No, Master, those aren't simply cultivator sword energies, but rather sword energies stimulated by spiritual energy. That's why they're so powerful." The small ball of light explained anxiously.

"Sword energy stimulated by spiritual energy, don't tell me this is also the technology of Blue Star." Qiu Ci asked.

[The system database lacks information on this, so I can't be 100% certain, but it's very likely.] After all, the concept of psychic power only exists in the great Blue Star technology.

"So, our direction is correct, and the base may indeed be within the Blue Courtyard?"

[Yes, Master!]

Qiu Ci fell silent. This time she had clearly made full preparations. Not only had she specially separated a wisp of her soul, she had also brought along a system and a psychic machine body. She had thought everything was foolproof, but she had not expected to be beaten back as soon as she entered the Blue Courtyard.

This made her more cautious about finding a base. It seemed that no matter what trump card she had, she could not underestimate anyone, otherwise she would be in trouble.

But the base had to be found, and Qiu Ci didn’t know what to do for a moment?

In the next few days, she was thinking about the base, and while she was struggling, it was time to go to school again.

then……

I was shocked by the huge crowd of students!
Qiu Ci stared in amazement at the classroom full of people who were either sitting or standing, or simply leaning against the windows. Some people couldn't squeeze in, so they simply raised a sound transmission device to squeeze into the crowd.

what's the situation?
She was stunned and took a few steps back to look at the plaque at the door. She must have come to Lan Shitang. Why were there so many people?
I clearly remember that there were less than forty students in Lan Shi Tang. Later, several of them transferred to other departments for various reasons. There should be less than thirty people left. What happened to these hundred or so people?

Qiu Ci couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and walked straight to the podium.

"I have met the Master."

Everyone began to salute as usual, their voices were so loud.

"Well, hello, classmates." Qiu Ci replied quickly, because it was really noisy, and there were also a few students in the corner. If you can't bend your waist, don't bend it, or the people next to you will fall down.

She took a closer look and discovered that most of the extra students were Nascent Soul cultivators. She guessed they were from Huaixu and Sujie's classes. Although Dan Pavilion's academy was divided into four classes, the class schedules were generally staggered. Thinking that it was a good thing for students to enjoy learning, Qiu Ci ignored the extra auditors and began the lesson seriously. "Today we're going to learn how to refine the second-grade Huiyuan Pill. Its main ingredient is..."

Qiu Ci finished his lecture on the Dao of Alchemy, highlighted the key points, and concluded the day's lecture. Miraculously, the class, which usually erupted in groans at the mere mention of homework, was completely silent this time. There was even a hint of excitement in everyone's eyes.
Is this because he has finally gone crazy with practicing questions?
Qiu Ci said 'No Sister Li', but she respected him.

He turned around and was about to leave, but the next moment the students who were attending the class swarmed over him.

"Master Chu, Master Chu, when will you come to Huaixu Hall for class? My fourth-grade Shuogu Pill keeps exploding. Can you teach me?"

"Master Chu, Master Chu, why do all the first and second grade elixirs refined by everyone in Lanshitang have elixir patterns? Is there some trick to this?"

"Master Chu, Master Chu, what did you just say about the ratio of ingredients and the compatibility of spiritual plants? I don't understand."

"Master Chu, Master Chu, what is a buffer? Why does adding a common herb to this elixir make it even more potent?"

"Master Chu, how did you manage to draw talismans in mid-air in the secret realm? Isn't that something only an eighth-level talisman master can do?"

"Master Chu, Master Chu, is that an ice formation you set up in your secret realm? When will you come to the Formation Pavilion to teach? I want to learn this!"

"Master Chu, Master Chu..."

Qiu Ci: “…”

No, what did she do? Why is she so popular all of a sudden? And why are the students from your Formation and Talisman Pavilions joining in the fun? She teaches the Dao of Alchemy.

Qiu Ci took a deep breath and had to answer these people one by one. He didn't walk back until most of them had left. He quickened his pace, fearing that another group would surround him. Unexpectedly, he met Chai Duo head-on as he just walked out of the school hall.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, so you are here. It made it easy for me to find you." Chai Duo came up to him with a look of joy.

"Master Chai, do you have something to talk to me about?" Qiu Ci asked in confusion.

"Yes, it's a good thing." He handed over the paper in his hand. "After the competition, the Pavilion Master and the elders discussed and made some adjustments to Fellow Daoist Chu's classes. I'm here to give you the new course schedule."

Qiu Ci took it and looked at it. It was indeed a new timetable. It was densely packed with classes, and the specific courses were even more exciting...

"The first and third days, Dan Pavilion and Sujie Hall; the fifth and seventh days, Fu Pavilion and Yazhu Hall; the eighth and ninth days, Zhen Pavilion and Qiankun Hall; the thirteenth and fifteenth days, Qi Pavilion..." She read out the items one by one, and her face became darker the more she read. What a messed up schedule.

How can she prepare lessons if she changes her major every few days?

"Ahem..." Chai Duo seemed a little embarrassed and coughed, "This is the result of a discussion among the Pavilion Masters, and the Dean also agreed."

Didn't you ask me if I agreed?

Qiu Ci stuffed the schedule back directly and said seriously, "Master Chai, I remember when I first entered the hospital, wasn't it agreed that there would be a maximum of ten classes a month? But this schedule has more than ten classes." It's almost full.

"This..." Chai Duo also looked embarrassed, and explained with a stiff upper lip, "After the competition, the students from each pavilion expressed their desire for Fellow Daoist Chu to teach them. And as you know, each pavilion has four academies, so after they were divided..."

"No, I don't agree." Qiu Ci refused directly. She came here to find the base, not to be a corporate slave.
