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

Chapter 208 Zhang Baiyi: It is our duty to stop Su Yuan's tyranny! (4K, please subscribe!)

In any case, Su Yuan ultimately passed the initial course assessment of the Jiuli Generals Sect perfectly and obtained one hundred credits.

Su Yuan's credits have officially surpassed the two thousand mark.

Students in the preparatory program can check their class ranking by credits in real time.

Upon seeing Su Yuan, who ranked first and whose credits far surpassed those of the second-place student by an digit, they couldn't help but marvel.

Zhang Baiyi was no exception.

But amidst his amazement, he couldn't help but feel doubtful.

Why did Su Yuan's credits increase so quickly?
Moreover, Su Yuan wasn't the only one with an abnormally fast credit growth rate; several other Xuan Yi Tian Zong seed students who were originally far inferior to him were also growing their credits faster than him!
Especially Qi Hanyue, ever since she started hanging out with Su Yuan, her credits have been increasing at an incredibly fast pace.

She became much more confident, her long bangs grew shorter day by day, and her delicate and lovely face was gradually revealed to the world.

By now, Qi Hanyue's credits have reached 500, which is much higher than Zhang Baiyi's earnings from refining the Heavenly Pearl day and night.

But whether it was Qi Hanyya or the other seeded players of Xuan Yi Tian Zong, they were all just his defeated opponents in the past.

Such a stark contrast was truly difficult for him to accept.

He wasn't unaware that Qi Hanyue and the others were working at the Yuanjiao Dantang, but judging from the live stream footage alone, these people shouldn't be earning so many credits at all.

That damned Three-Turn Golden Elixir has long been suppressed by various online trolls to the point where it's almost impossible to sell!
"There must be a conspiracy by Su Yuan involved here!"

Zhang Baiyi looked at Su Yuan, who was packing his schoolbag and leaving the classroom with a large group of people, and a resolute look flashed in his eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, Su Yuan and the other classmates he's recruited must be secretly involved in other businesses."

"The reason why it must be kept secret is because... he is doing some kind of evil thing."

"He led his classmates astray into evil ways, deceiving their superiors and using evil methods to make a profit."

"I must seriously point out this despicable behavior and guide Su Yuan and the others back to the right path before they become too deeply entrenched in evil."

Zhang Baiyi muttered to himself, a sense of mission welling up within him.

However, he also knew that if he didn't find solid evidence, Su Yuan could easily get away with it.

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Baiyi pulled out a talisman from his palm.

This is a talisman made entirely using ancient methods. It was a hasty preparation he made to avoid being invaded by the Myriad Soul Banner again after Su Yuan pointed out the flaws in the new-style talisman.

This talisman was renowned in ancient times and was known as the Invisibility Talisman!

Zhang Baiyi slapped the invisibility talisman onto his body, and his body and clothes vanished into thin air, blending into the surrounding environment.

"Su Yuan, don't blame me for monitoring you. I just don't want you to get into trouble."

Zhang Baiyi sighed inwardly and followed in the direction Su Yuan had left.

Soon, he arrived at the alchemy factory of the Yuanjiao Dantang.

Inside the factory, Su Yuan skillfully organized Qi Hanyue and others to begin refining pills using spiritual plants, and simultaneously launched a live broadcast for promotion.

Zhang Baiyi hid in a corner of the factory, carefully observing Qi Hanyue and the others' every move and the alchemy process, and found nothing unusual.

Of course, neither he nor the viewers in the live stream could possibly master the formula for the Three-Stage Golden Elixir by observing the entire alchemy process.

The reason is simple: each medicinal herb undergoes a special process before being broadcast live.

This medicinal material processing technique is the true secret of the formula, and it is difficult for outsiders to know.

Zhang Baiyi observed for a full two hours, during which he changed one invisibility talisman after another.

Although he had gained nothing in those two hours, he was not in a hurry at all.

Because he was waiting for an opportunity.

And this opportunity has arrived as expected!

"Family members, that's all for today's live stream. Please give us a like and follow."

"If any family members need the Three-Turn Golden Elixir, you can still purchase it by clicking the link below the video!"

After Su Yuan fluently finished reading the closing remarks, the broadcast officially ended.

Zhang Baiyi's spirits were also lifted!
The secrets of the Primordial Elixir Hall are about to be revealed to him.

As expected, after putting away his phone, Su Yuan immediately clapped his hands at Qi Hanyue and the others, saying:

"Alright, alright, everyone stop pretending."

"The positive publicity is over, let's officially get to work!"

"What's our slogan? Do you all still remember it?"

The students nodded in unison, their slogans booming:
"To succeed, you must first go crazy! Everything must be geared towards scoring points!"

"Take a chance! Be rich for three generations! Only by fighting hard can you avoid failure!"

Su Yuan nodded in satisfaction:

"Okay, let's get started!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yuan casually pushed open the door behind him, which was disguised as a wall.

The moment the door was pushed open, a wave of heat composed of boundless alchemical fire surged out.

Under Zhang Baiyi's shocked gaze, a much larger workshop, more than three times the size of the current one and glowing red from the firelight, appeared before him.

Inside the workshop, one experienced alchemist after another operated the alchemy furnace in front of them, throwing flesh and blood into the furnace to melt a batch of great medicine made of flesh and blood!

The pungent smell of blood sent chills down Zhang Baiyi's spine, a righteous and talented individual with impeccable morals.

"Is this... is this Su Yuan's real method of profiting?"

He murmured to himself, his face filled with shock:
"So dark, so evil, has Su Yuan truly embarked on a path of no return?"

Just then, a refined-looking middle-aged alchemist approached Su Yuan somewhat anxiously:

"Master, there's a problem."

"The color of the newly refined third-stage golden pills is off, and there are faint signs that they are not solidifying."

Su Yuan was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and said:

"Why isn't it solidifying? Is there something wrong with your operation?"

As he spoke, Su Yuan, led by the middle-aged alchemist, arrived in front of the failed pills.

Zhang Baiyi, who was observing from a distance, swallowed hard and cautiously followed.

On a table lay several slightly melted, murky, failed pills, along with the remaining flesh and blood materials from the process of refining these pills.

Upon seeing Su Yuan arrive, the alchemists who had been discussing things around the table tacitly fell silent, looking at Su Yuan with slight unease.

Su Yuan glanced casually at the table, then snorted coldly:

"You guys are obviously not paying attention; you can't even see such a simple problem."

Upon hearing this, the alchemists exchanged bewildered glances.

Without saying much, Su Yuan directly retrieved a kidney from the flesh and blood material. It was the kidney of a spirit beast with extremely strong reproductive ability, the Green Bamboo Rat.

He then casually pointed a wisp of alchemical fire onto the kidney, and in no time, the flesh and blood were refined into a deep pink medicinal liquid.

"Wait, why is it pink? Shouldn't it be dark red?"

A pill refiner exclaimed in surprise. Su Yuan coldly replied:
"Of course it's pink, because it's not the kidney of a male bamboo rat, but the kidney of a female rat."

"Didn't your biology teacher teach you this? How come you can't even tell the difference between male and female?"

The group of alchemists, whose average age was over fifty, were given such a lecture, but they all lowered their heads and did not dare to utter a sound.

Ji Danshi, who was in charge of purchasing medicinal herbs, gritted his teeth and said angrily:

"It must be because the supplier wasn't careful and didn't distinguish between male and female rat kidneys. I'm going to find them and settle the score right now."

Su Yuan waved his hand impatiently and said:
"Alright! We can talk about everything else later. The important thing now is to extract all the kidneys from the female rats and start refining the pills!"

As he spoke, he personally inspected all the flesh and blood materials, discarding the unqualified ones, and then personally started the furnace to refine pills.

Under Su Yuan's control, the alchemical fire pulsed like dragons and snakes, and large quantities of processed medicinal herbs were rapidly thrown into the furnace.

Under extreme conditions where the furnace could explode at any moment, Su Yuan used as much blood, flesh, and medicinal herbs as possible.

After nearly two hours of refining, Su Yuan produced ten pills in one batch, each one crystal clear and perfectly round.

Zhang Baiyi was dumbfounded by what he saw.

Although his talent in alchemy was not as great as his talent in weapon crafting and talisman making, he still knew how to make pills.

Not to mention the other alchemists present who could provide a reference.

Most alchemists can only produce four or five pills per batch, and the alchemy process takes even longer, resulting in pills of lower quality than those produced by Su Yuan.

The difference between the two clearly demonstrates the high level of Su Yuan's alchemy skills.

"Su Yuan... how did he master such evil alchemy techniques?"

"Just how many innocent spirit beasts did he harm in order to hone his alchemy skills?"

Zhang Baiyi was deeply shaken.

He was somewhat relieved that Xi Yu hadn't seen this scene. If the people who love spirit beasts had seen it, wouldn't they have caused a huge uproar?
"No, I must stop Su Yuan!"

Zhang Baiyi quietly took out her phone and recorded everything in front of her with photos.

He knew that Su Yuan's Cyber ​​Soul Banner could hack into technological products such as mobile phones and computers, but he had no other choice.

After all, ancient photographic artifacts like the "image-recording stone" have long been replaced by modern photographic equipment.

Zhang Baiyi, a brilliant and ambitious weapon refiner, naturally had no interest in learning such outdated magical artifacts.

Fortunately, after all the photos were taken and saved, Su Yuan didn't make a sound at all, seemingly unaware of anything.

Zhang Baiyi breathed a sigh of relief, but dared not send the photos out directly, nor did she dare connect her phone to the internet.

After all, there are so many surveillance cameras in the alchemy workshop, and there might be cyber vengeful spirits hiding there. If a network signal is transmitted, it would be tantamount to revealing one's location.

After we've retreated to a safe distance, we should report everything to our Master.

With these thoughts in mind, Zhang Baiyi quietly withdrew.

But at that moment, Su Yuan abandoned the alchemy furnace and turned to head towards another hidden door.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Baiyi's feet seemed to be welded to the spot, and he was reluctant to leave.

Like countless classic journalist characters in movies, he had already collected the evidence he wanted, but a new discovery led him into an even more dangerous secret room.

There's a very high chance that a plot involving a secret infiltrator will occur.

Even after watching numerous similar storylines, Zhang Baiyi still became obsessed.

Especially after Su Yuan opened the door to the secret room wide, Zhang Baiyi's inner turmoil reached its peak!
He moved his feet uncontrollably and squeezed into the dark room before the door closed.

Then, a chilling, bloody, and dark aura surged from all directions, making Zhang Baiyi feel a chill.

He was instantly sobered up as if doused with cold water, and regretted his rash decision to enter the dark room.

If Su Yuan catches him on the spot, he won't have anywhere to run.

But then again, even if Su Yuan catches me, he wouldn't do anything to me, would he?

They're all classmates, so it's impossible for there to be any scenes of imprisonment, torture, or brainwashing... right?

But since we're already here, there's no turning back.

He could only follow Su Yuan out after Su Yuan left the dark room.

Zhang Baiyi carefully examined the environment inside the dark room, feeling a chill run down his spine.

Here, lay one after another spirit beasts, their bellies ripped open and their medicinal organs removed.

As their souls dissipated, a large amount of yin energy remained in the dark room.

Their blood gushed out, flowing along the channels into the pool in the center of the dark room, forming a pool of scarlet blood.

In the center of the blood pool was a small platform on which the six beads were enshrined with velvet cloth, slowly absorbing the yin energy and blood energy in the dark room.

As for resentment?

Aren't the grievances of the working-class neighbors enough?

The combination of the three elements is precisely the improved method for refining the Heavenly Pearl!
Su Yuan examined the quality of the six Heaven-Opening Pearls and nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, the goods can be delivered now."

With a wave of his hand, the righteous disguise was activated, and the six demonic Heaven-Opening Pearls immediately became indistinguishable from ordinary Heaven-Opening Pearls.

"The Demonic Heaven-Opening Pearl? Su Yuan is actually still refining such a thing!"

Zhang Baiyi's eyes widened, and she covered her mouth, trying her best not to scream!
His master had clearly told him that the sale of the Demonic Path Heaven-Opening Pearl must be banned, yet he was still secretly doing this!

For a moment, Zhang Baiyi even hesitated.

He was hesitant to reveal this matter... because if his master found out, Su Yuan would surely be severely punished.

There was a possibility that all her credits would be deducted, but after a moment's hesitation, Zhang Baiyi still made up her mind.

Su Yuan did something wrong, so he should pay the price as punishment... Exposing him is helping him.

He tried to suppress his shock and continued to keep watch.

The celestial beads disguised as legitimate items cannot be proven by photos alone; we must meet the buyer and catch them red-handed.

Then, to his surprise, Su Yuan put away the six Heaven-Opening Pearls and walked straight outside, seemingly to ship them out.

Zhang Baiyi quickly followed, successfully exiting the dark room and the factory, and followed Su Yuan all the way to a wasteland on the outskirts of the city.

Although it was wasteland, Zhang Baiyi keenly noticed that this area was very close to Boss Cai's Tieshan pig breeding base!

Sure enough, not long after Su Yuan arrived, Boss Cai sped over and came to Su Yuan's side.

Without exchanging a single word, the two exchanged money and goods, completing the transaction in a flash.

After obtaining the Heavenly Bead, Boss Cai quickly left.

Having witnessed all of this, Zhang Baiyi suppressed his emotions and quietly retreated.

But at that moment, Su Yuan's calm voice rang out.

"Zhang, you've been looking at this for a long time, haven't you?"

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to just leave without saying goodbye?"
