Don't try to cultivate immortality; mortals live longer than immortals.

After preparing himself mentally, Duan Xuan stepped into the logistics department.

Everything is as before!

The atmosphere here remained serious and busy. Duan Xuan braced himself and went to the window to apply for Foundation Establishment Pills.

The person sitting behind was indeed the same senior student, Gao. When she heard the noise, she looked up and saw that it was Duan Xuan again. A very obvious look of surprise flashed in Gao Huijuan's beautiful eyes. Obviously, she did not expect him to come again so soon.

Seeing this expression, Duan Xuan's heart tightened, cold sweat involuntarily seeped out from his back, and his fists clenched quietly.

He frantically recalled the lines he had just rehearsed.

However, Gao Huijuan's behavior next was completely unexpected. Although she was surprised, she had no intention of questioning him.

His gaze was also gentle, no, to be precise, it seemed to carry a strange sense of ingratiation.

and many more……

To please?

Duan Xuan wondered if he had made a mistake.

While Duan Xuan was lost in his own thoughts, Gao Huijuan's expression had returned to normal.

Her face was completely calm, and she even nodded to Duan Xuan, her tone utterly devoid of any emotion: "You've arrived?"

"Yes, it's here."

Duan Xuan was stunned. He froze on the spot. All the words he had prepared were stuck in his throat, and he didn't know how to continue.

"I... I want some more Foundation Establishment Pills." He could only stammer out the words, but his heart was already churning with turmoil... What Ling Yun said was actually true, and without any exaggeration.

"Okay." Gao Huijuan nodded, without asking a single extra question throughout the entire process.

He simply reached out and tapped the virtual screen on the table, and three bottles of Foundation Building Pills popped out of a small drawer next to him and were handed out through the window.

"Oh, this..."

Duan Xuan took it blankly, completely dumbfounded.

Although deep down he felt that Lingyun would never betray him in such a major event, the fact that it went so smoothly was still somewhat unexpected.

How did that girl manage to do that?

I'm clearly not familiar with Gao Huijuan, so why would she be willing to take such a risk to help me?

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Duan Xuan looking somewhat dazed, Gao Huijuan felt quite strange: "Junior, are you alright?"

"Oh, it's nothing, thank you, senior."

Duan Xuan then realized what was happening, and hurriedly thanked them while carefully putting away the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Okay, junior, take care. You can come find me anytime you need me."

Gao Huijuan blinked. At this moment, in her mind, this junior was an extraordinary figure, after all, the confidentiality agreement was personally signed by the principal.

Although I don't know what Duan Xuan's background is, it is clear that getting along well with him will be of great help to my future and to gaining deeper potential in the path of immortality.

And so, Duan Xuan walked out of the logistics department in a daze with three bottles of Foundation Establishment Pills. He felt like he was floating. He found a quiet corner, leaned against the wall, and clicked his tongue in amazement at Ling Yun.

"Yun'er, you're amazing!"

"Is that even a question?"

The girl's voice, tinged with a hint of smugness, echoed in his mind: "I told you long ago, don't worry about it. Don't you trust me to handle things?"

"Yes, I was wrong."

Duan Xuan was now going through a whole cycle of apology and praise before rubbing his hands together and asking curiously, "Good Yun'er, my sweet baby, tell me, how did you manage to do all this?"

Lingyun's heart almost raced at the sound of being called "baby," but the CPU quickly returned to normal.

"secret."

The girl's voice was incredibly light and cheerful: "Alright, host, everyone has secrets, and the system is no exception. You need to respect privacy and not pry into things. When the time is right, I will tell you naturally."

"All right."

Although Duan Xuan was unwilling, the other party had even brought up the rhetoric of privacy and respect, so what could he do?

It's impossible to force someone to do something they can't.

Moreover, since Lingyun was unwilling to talk about it, there was nothing he could do, though he was still somewhat annoyed.

"Alright, alright." Lingyun changed the subject as if coaxing a child: "Host, I'm telling you, you're a grown man, why are you dawdling like this? Now that you have the pills, why don't you come back to the dormitory with me to cultivate?"

"All right!"

When it came to cultivation, Duan Xuan immediately stopped feeling sleepy.

Everyone is curious, and to be honest, he also wanted to know where his limits were.

……

Time flies like an arrow, and in the days that followed, Duan Xuan's life became extremely regular.

A standard three-point line.

Dormitories, classrooms, logistics department.

No, to be precise, it should be a circle, repeating endlessly.

After class each day, he would quietly go to Gao Huijuan's place, and she had long since reached a tacit understanding with him. Each time, without him having to say anything, she would give him at least a bottle of Foundation Building Pills.

"Isn't this senior student curious?"

Duan Xuan was filled with doubt.

"Being curious won't help; she signed a confidentiality agreement."

Lingyun accidentally let it slip.

"Confidentiality agreement? What confidentiality agreement?" Duan Xuan quickly pressed for details.

Then Lingyun stopped talking: "I've already told you. I'll tell you when the time is right. Now you should maintain your gentlemanly manners and not pry into my secrets."

"All right!"

Since the other party refused to tell him no matter what, Duan Xuan had no choice but to accept it.

She was secretly curious: why did Lingyun's system seem somewhat different from the online novels she had read before?

However, Duan Xuan didn't delve into the details; he was content as long as he knew that Ling Yun genuinely cared for him.

Life went on as usual, but there were occasional mishaps. For example, one day, just after class, Duan Xuan was about to quietly walk towards the logistics department when Jiang Yaoguang called him from outside the teaching building.

"Duan Xuan, wait a moment."

The girl's voice was clear and crisp, just like always.

"Senior, is something the matter?"

Duan Xuan paused, his inner alarm bells ringing instinctively. After all, he felt guilty, and he dared not tell Jiang Yaoguang the details of how much he had been consuming Foundation Establishment Pills recently.

Otherwise, they would definitely be seen as monsters!

However, on the surface, Duan Xuan still maintained an indifferent expression.

"I'm looking for you because I have something to say."

Fairy Yaoguang didn't notice the subtle change in Duan Xuan's expression. Her gaze fell on him with a hint of concern: "How's your progress with taking the Foundation Establishment Pill? You said you'd taken five or six without any results. Are you managing to suppress it now?"

"It's alright. Although my meridians are swollen and painful, and I have trouble sleeping at night, I can barely keep it under control."

Duan Xuan wore a pained expression, his acting skills were quite superb.

Fairy Yaoguang did not suspect anything, and was even slightly surprised, as she knew the true nature of Duan Xuan's spiritual root.

A true Heavenly Spiritual Root, genuinely at the maximum level, requiring only five or six Foundation Establishment Pills. It would be difficult for others, but shouldn't Duan Xuan be able to handle it easily?
