In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 203 Qi Hanyue: If this continues, it will become addictive!
"Master, there shouldn't be any problems with these three pill formulas, right?"

Seeing Su Yuan staring intently at the pill formula, Qi Hanyue asked anxiously.

Su Yuan snapped out of his daze and said with a smile:
"There's nothing wrong with any of the three prescriptions, but the fact that they're all fine is the biggest problem in itself."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

The girl was completely confused.

Su Yuan waved the pill formula in his hand, his tone indifferent:

"It's very simple. The cost of the materials for these three pill formulas seems a bit high. The medicinal materials used are all of very high quality."

"If we can't reduce the cost of medicinal materials, how can our pills compete with those produced by large industrial manufacturers?"

"Then...what should we do?"

Qi Hanyue asked cautiously.

Su Yuan answered without hesitation, pointing to one of the pill formulas:

"Take this Three-Turn Golden Elixir, which includes body shaping, kidney vitality enhancement, skin toughness and anti-toxicity."

"Among the medicinal materials for kidney vitality, you chose ten-year-old Epimedium, which has a high market price."

"This plant-based elixir is expensive and often out of stock, so why don't we try a different approach and replace it with animal-based ingredients?"

"For example, the kidneys of the green bamboo rat, after being processed with some inexpensive auxiliary drugs, can basically replace ten-year-old Epimedium."

"Following the same logic, the non-toxic flowers needed to enhance resistance to toxins can also be replaced by animal-based materials..."

Su Yuan spoke eloquently, drastically altering Qi Hanya's prescription.

Nearly half of the plant-based medicinal herbs were replaced by materials from the spirit beasts that Su Yuan raised.

Moreover, after this radical replacement, there were no drug conflicts between the various medicinal materials in the improved prescription.

It is a perfectly sound and qualified prescription.

Qi Hanyue was stunned by what she heard.

Dude! You're making me rush to make these three pill formulas overnight, are you just trying to mess with me?

If you can perfectly improve a new pill formula by just glancing at it a few times and drastically reduce costs, then what do you need me to do?
She stared blankly at Su Yuan for a long while, finally lowering her head helplessly.

"I really am a good-for-nothing."

"Even though I've tried my best, I'm still easily surpassed. It seems I'm really not suited to stay in the Blue Star Federation..."

Just as the girl was wallowing in self-pity, Su Yuan's system panel also sent a notification.

The loyalty of the Dantang Hall Master has dropped to 1%.

Su Yuan: "..."

Looking at the girl who was ready to run away at any moment, he felt a little tired.

While modifying the formula in person is a bit like Versailles, you gave up way too quickly.

Can't we be a little more passionate in life?

Can't we be like Zhang Baiyi, who persevered despite repeated failures and bravely strived to catch up?
And what do you mean by saying you're not suitable to stay in the Blue Star Federation? Are you an alien?

Fortunately, just then, a figure walked into the swimming pool; it was Yin Qiyue.

"I heard some fans want to see me?"

The girl stood at the door with her hands behind her back, peeking out with her captivating purple eyes.

"Qiyue!"

Qi Hanyue, who was originally feeling sorry for being born, suddenly perked up and rushed to Yin Qiyue's side like the wind.

As soon as the person arrived next to Yin Qiyue, the sound of camera shutters clicking incessantly rang out.

The girl pulled out her phone from somewhere and started taking photos with Yin Qiyue, as well as selfies.

Loyalty gradually returned.

Su Yuan quickly pressed his advantage, saying:
"Student Qi, our Yuan Sect can't do without you, the Master of the Pill Hall."

"To be honest, I'm only good at improving demonic-style pill formulas, but if our Pill Hall wants to clean up its act and go straight, a prodigy like you with righteous thinking is indispensable."

"Clean up the airs and get out of trouble?"

Qi Hanyue paused slightly, as if she had just realized something:
"Could it be that the Yuan Sect is actually a demonic sect?" Yin Qiyue calmly grasped Qi Hanyue's hand and smiled.

"Don't be so rigid in distinguishing between good and evil. What about the righteous sects and the demonic sects?"

"I joined in without really understanding what was going on, but I'm doing just fine now, aren't I?"

Qi Hanyue: "..."

She tried to pull her hand away, but couldn't get it out of Yin Qiyue's soft, fragrant little hand.

Damn it, my idol has fallen from grace so early.

Now she's dragging me down with her, should I give in to her or not?

"My mother won't let me join the Demonic Sect."

The girl's voice trembled slightly, just like an ordinary high school girl who had accidentally stumbled into a gathering of shady forces.

Just then, Su Yuan slowly walked up behind Qi Hanyue and said in a seductive tone:
"Qi, you have a lot of worries."

"You always seem to envy other people's achievements, wanting to catch up with them but always unable to make up your mind, and can only hesitate in the same place?"

"Don't worry, our Yuan Sect happens to have benefits specifically for this purpose."

“I can use some of the unique methods of the Yuan Cult to provide you with managed training.”

"You don't need to think about anything, just sleep and you'll become stronger when you wake up."

"After repeated intensive training, you will surpass those who were once stronger than you, and even geniuses like Zhang Baiyi and Xiyu."

"Would you receive this kind of treatment if you were an upright person?"

A warm breeze brushed against Qi Hanyue's ear, causing the girl's ears to turn slightly red, while her heart stirred with gentle ripples.

Can he surpass Zhang Baiyi?

Although Qi Hanyue may seem like a homebody, doesn't she also have ambitions to rise above others?

When she was admitted to university, she and Zhang Baiyi were assigned to the same school.

The reason she transferred schools immediately in her first year of high school was because Zhang Baiyi's brilliance was too dazzling, which made her choose to escape.

If I can surpass my opponent and overcome this inner demon—

Joining a soon-to-be-legitimate, albeit corrupt, cult seems... not entirely out of the question?
She glanced at her idol, Yin Qiyue, in front of her, then at Su Yuan behind her, gritted her teeth, and asked:
"Is that managed training program guaranteed to be authentic?"

Su Yuan didn't speak, but instead condensed a large cloud of black mist, enveloping Qi Hanyue completely.

Even though Qi Hanyue is a peerless genius with dazzling talent, she was completely powerless to resist the hypnotic sword energy when caught off guard.

Soon, she became completely at Su Yuan's mercy.

Then... Su Yuan ordered her to cultivate to her heart's content.

After a two-hour intensive, managed training session, Qi Hanyue not only improved her cultivation level but also had her "Wuji" talent stimulated.

If you do this a few more times, you might awaken a new talent related to cultivation.

"Managed training...it feels so good!"

After a training session, Qi Hanyue felt dizzy and her beautiful eyes seemed to have turned into the shape of hearts.

It seems that he is about to fall into evil.

Su Yuan checked Qi Hanyue's loyalty again, and it had reached an astonishing 40%.

Although it can't compare to characters like Chen Nuoyi and Yin Qiyue who have 100% loyalty, it's still a huge improvement.

This girl probably won't just run away, right?

After all, managed training can be addictive for a lazy person like her who lacks perseverance.

After resolving the loyalty issue, Su Yuan got down to business.

He compiled the three original prescriptions and three improved prescriptions into electronic files, submitted one to the pill management department, and also gave them to Master Qiu for review.

If you want the profits from selling pills to be converted into academic credits, you definitely need your instructor's permission.

The result is obvious: pills made from authentic recipes can be sold normally.

As for the improved version of the prescription... it cannot be sold in principle.
