Cultivators at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 196 The Elder Sister's Authority

Taiya joined the order patrol squad of the Academy Expeditionary Force. Her daily routine was similar to a workday, with fixed shifts and points earned in the process.

Compared to hunting lone demons, the advantage is that you don't have to travel too far and can make and receive deliveries on time.

The job mainly involves helping soldiers in the camp with some daily life problems.

Charge the inscribed sword's energy storage magic stone. Responsible for finding suitable well locations and constructing water-gathering arrays. This includes mediating disputes and maintaining order.

The spellcaster will never be out of use, no matter where they go.

Hunting demons is far too risky! No team has achieved any notable results yet. Instead, they've been repeatedly ambushed, suffering heavy losses and never returning.

The list of casualties includes many names who had previously performed well in ranked matches.

"Little An, could you sell me one of your candies...?"

Qi Ye had been keeping an eye on the large cauldron by the door. He guessed it was most likely a cultivation resource. Given that it was constantly guarded, it must be extremely valuable. Combined with the unusual behavior of his followers that he had inadvertently observed earlier, a thought struck him, and he made a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Tai'an slowly shook his head: "I'm sorry, it's a family secret, I can't reveal it to outsiders."

"Boys shouldn't be so stingy!" Taeya wanted to show off her older sister authority in front of her best friend, cupping her brother's chin in her hands: "You have so many anyway! Just give her one... and we can use them up later..."

"Easier said than done. I worked on it for three days and three nights, didn't you see?"

Tai'an, desperate to escape Taiya, frantically twisted his neck and rolled his eyes upwards. Finally, she reluctantly relented, taking out a stored porcelain bottle from her spatial ring and pouring out a pill into her palm: "You can eat it now, but you can't take it with you!"

"Little An is so fierce!" The purple-haired girl feigned grievance and gave him a teary-eyed look.

However, the boy remained unmoved, his face serious as he emphasized the precautions: "It's best to eat it while lying down, letting it slide into your stomach little by little! If you're not strong enough, taking it rashly could be life-threatening."

Indeed, having witnessed Yulin's pain firsthand, and considering she seemed to be an elite-level swordsman, Qi Ye realized he was far inferior.

"Can I eat half?"

"No, the pills cannot be cut open. At most, you can take a small amount of powder from the edge."

Qi Ye looked hesitant.

Tai'an's gaze shifted to the cave entrance, where a figure burning with yellow-brown flames slowly stepped out.

The rare metallic battle aura adds a sharp edge to weapons and inflicts corrosion damage on targets hit.

It guarantees a tetanus attack, drastically reducing the time to death. It's as if the opponent's life begins its countdown the moment they are wounded. As time goes on, the pain at the wound will intensify to an unbearable degree.

In addition, the metal element battle aura can also interfere with the opponent's inscribed weapon, with a certain chance of causing it to malfunction temporarily!

Having just taken a pill, the guardian elder Bruno had a ruddy complexion.

"What do you think of the results, Mr. Bruno?" Taiya asked, her curiosity barely concealed.

"Excellent! It feels like I've returned to more than ten years ago, and my strength has recovered to 90%!" Bruno described his condition with no small amount of exaggeration.

The effects of Xiao Huan Dan can indeed extend lifespan and the peak of human physical condition.

Through repeated use, until the body develops complete drug resistance, it can take up to twelve years.

Bruno only took one pill, and the effect was to extend his lifespan by about three years. To say that he would return to the state he was in more than ten years ago is undoubtedly an overly optimistic statement.

Qi Ye gazed thoughtfully at Bruno's newly grown black hair, his radiant appearance seemingly genuine.

Because she often travels with Tayya, she is naturally familiar with the old man.

"It seems to be a really good thing!" Qi Ye thought to himself.

Gritting her teeth, she made a risky decision, leaning back on the stone chair sculpted by the Transfiguration, one hand supporting herself behind her back, the other hand holding the pill to her mouth and swallowing it in one gulp, clearly feeling the cool pill slide into her stomach.

Qi Ye's fair forehead unconsciously furrowed.

"Miss, are you alright?" The black-clad guardian, hidden in the shadows, appeared and inquired. Judging from her figure, she was likely a woman.

"I'm fine!"

Qi Ye waved his hand with a strained expression, his blood and qi surging, feeling like his whole body was about to explode. He hurriedly released his battle qi to vent his anger.

The transparent flames grew at a visible rate, but the delicate body could hardly bear it, and fine beads of blood-red sweat seeped from the surface of her skin.

That's too much of a stretch!

She was only a third-year student in the Magic Swordsman Division and had only recently reached the formal stage.

As the beloved daughter of Earl of Amethyst, she was born into a life of luxury and never underwent rigorous training, so her carrying capacity was naturally far inferior to Gus'.

Seven Nights' porcelain-white skin began to be covered with blood-red cracks, like a piece of porcelain about to shatter.

"Xiao An! Help her quickly!" Taiya realized something was wrong and looked at her younger brother anxiously.

"Hang in there! No one can help you, so get moving now..."

Tai'an issued the order in a cold tone.

Forcibly removing her life essence might save her life. The result would be severe damage to her vital energy and blood, and a shortened lifespan. The damaged foundation would never recover, and she would not only lose her appearance but also her hope for the future.

It's a last resort, a poor choice that we won't make unless absolutely necessary.

Despite the excruciating pain tearing through his body, Qi Ye leaped down the steep slope, drew his inscribed sword, and swung it. The deep blue, icy battle aura froze everything in its path. The aura tore through his clothes, and blood exploded around him like rain.

She laughed maniacally and ferociously: "I will not die!"

When faced with dire circumstances, people often unleash unimaginable potential.

The once elegant and proud noblewoman abandoned all restraint, unleashing her most ferocious rampage. She felled trees and shattered rocks, until the surging power within her finally subsided.

Exhausted, she stood with her sword at her sides and head bowed beneath a large, scarred tree. Her clothes were disheveled, her skin cracked, and she resembled a tattered doll.

"The effect is better than I expected!" Tai'an stood with his hands behind his back, talking to himself from a high place.

"Seven Nights, are you alright!" Taiya rushed downstairs and took out a spare dress from her spatial ring.

The black-clad guardian flashed forward and landed beside the young lady.

"I'm perfectly fine!" Qi Ye tilted her head back, opened her arms, and a yandere smile appeared on her face.

"Did he suffer too much trauma? He's mentally unstable!" Tai'an shook his head.

Don't you understand? It's not like your appearance is irreversible, why are you making such a fuss?

As dusk approached, Aglaia returned. She temporarily represented the Blue Rose family at the meeting, acting as a liaison between the two sides.

"When will the war begin!" Tai'an asked. He had been waiting for over ten days, endlessly dragging things out, and his patience was almost completely worn away. If it weren't for the fact that his Life Weaving cultivation wasn't yet complete, he might have already rushed in himself.

"They didn't say! They're still mobilizing troops. Another 20,000 men will be stationed at the hill camp tomorrow." Aglaia reported the situation, then reached out and took the strange brown pill that Taian handed her: "Young Master, what is this?"

"Eat it!"
