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

"Teacher, what was that just now...?"

Everyone looked at Tang Ya, their expressions filled with gratitude, and a hint of awe.

The homeroom teacher truly lived up to his reputation as a Golden Core Ancestor. Even though it was just a fragment of his soul controlling a divine puppet, it possessed unfathomable power.

"Just now you observed something you shouldn't have. Remember, this is the highest academy on Shuiyun Star, with countless powerful figures. While it's not fair to say that Golden Core cultivators are worthless or Nascent Soul cultivators are everywhere, there are many things that are definitely not something you can pry into."

"Everyone, remember this lesson: after becoming cultivators, your physical functions will be greatly enhanced, but never listen to or look at things indiscriminately."

"This time, the big shots know you're newcomers, so they only gave you a small lesson. You won't be so lucky next time."

The teacher's expression was serious, and the students listened with a sense of awe.

But after a moment's thought, I felt a little depressed.

That makes sense, but if that's the case, why didn't you say so earlier? Were you deliberately trying to make us look bad, to use us as a negative example, to leave a deep impression on everyone?

Those ten guys who broke through first were all speechless.

……

Tang Ya ignored them and clapped her hands: "The rest of you, please continue!"

Soon, another delivery drone arrived.

This time, there were more than a dozen packages.

There were three-person group deals for 50 spirit coins, and there were also more upscale deals for two people, with packages worth 80 or 100 spirit coins, all of which were bundled together and delivered.

Everyone was overjoyed and rushed to open the blind boxes, their faces filled with anticipation and excitement.

Of course, some people sighed and felt they had been cheated.

Just now, all 10 people in the cheapest package of 50 spirit coins passed the test without missing a single one. Does that mean that guiding the primordial energy of heaven and earth into the body is not as difficult as imagined?

I should have saved some money and not ordered such an expensive package.

Tang Ya's gaze swept across the crowd, taking in everyone's expressions and reactions. She gave a cold snort: "Guiding the primordial energy of heaven and earth into the body, as the first step on the path to immortality, is indeed not a particularly difficult bottleneck, but it is not as easy as one might imagine. The fact that the 10 students were able to pass it on their first try is the result of a combination of factors."

"Don't think that just because they can get through it, you can rest easy. I'll say it again: even with such a small bottleneck, there's still a good chance of going astray if you fail."

"If you think you've got it all figured out, feel free to be proud, but don't cry later."

These words sent a chill down everyone's spines.

They dared not be careless or negligent again.

That's true. Just because the cheapest package gets approved doesn't mean the expensive ones are guaranteed to be approved.

There's also the question of whether it's suitable or not. Pride comes before a fall, so don't let yourself capsize in a ditch.

Thinking about this, some people became nervous again.

There's even an additional layer of pressure.

Others can pass with the cheapest package, but if I choose the expensive one and fail, even if I don't go crazy, I'll still be embarrassed...

I can't afford to lose face like that!

So we still need to be careful.

Everyone composed themselves, stepped forward to scan the code and pick up their goods, while also filled with curiosity, wondering what exactly they had bought.

then……

"What is this?"

A student opened the cardboard box of the package and was completely bewildered. What he was holding in his hand was something that looked like an eye mask.

That's not even the most outrageous thing. Even Duan Xuan was deep in thought as he stared at the spicy strip in his hand, which was worth 100 spirit coins... Could this thing really help cultivators guide the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their bodies?

He didn't call the system to ask Lingyun for answers. There were too many people around, and although the possibility of the system being exposed was small, there was no need to take such a risk!

Anyway, I'm not the only student who chose this price range; Teacher Tang will explain that in a bit.

However, most of the students were not as composed as Duan Xuan, and some couldn't help but raise their hands to ask questions.

"Teacher, what is this?"

"Energy-boosting sleep mask, well, the beginner version."

"Huh, a Vitality Sleep Aid Eye Mask? What's it for?" The name surprised everyone who asked the question.

"Idiot, can't you read the instruction manual yourself?" Tang Ya didn't give this dependent guy a friendly look at all, but she still explained a few things in the end.

"This is a new product from Baiwei Group, which features the ability to induce Qi while sleeping. Don't be fooled by its mere 100 spirit coins; in reality, Baiwei Group has given our freshmen a 50% discount, so its true value is much higher."

"The Vitality Sleep Aid Eye Mask is a fusion of Taoist principles and technology. It can induce a wonderful state of being half asleep and half asleep through low-frequency calming light waves."

"In this state, one's comprehension can be greatly enhanced. In analogy to a game, it's like a character being given both intelligence and luck, which naturally increases the success rate of guiding vital energy into the body."

Everyone was completely bewildered.

Although it's a bit confusing, it definitely feels more awesome than the 50 spirit coins package from before.

"Teacher, what are these spicy strips used for?"

Someone cautiously raised the snacks in their hand.

"Could it have effects similar to a medicinal pill?"

Before Tang Ya could speak, some classmates had already started guessing, since this was the most straightforward line of thought.

"You're overthinking it. If it were a medicinal pill, why go through all that trouble in the design?"

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Tang Ya's mouth.

"This thing looks like spicy strips, but did you see the layer of gold powder coated on top?"

"Note that that's not chili powder, it's nanobots."

"Huh? Nanobots?" Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

"That's right. Moreover, these nanobots are made of special materials. Their bodies are constructed from spiritual food. After ingestion, they can not only assist users in guiding the primordial energy of heaven and earth according to a predetermined program, but also burn themselves at critical moments to transform into spiritual energy, helping users break through bottlenecks..."

"That's amazing?"

"These 100 spirit coins were definitely worth it."

……

A gasp went up from the crowd. Everyone who had bought the spicy snack combo... no, the 100 spirit coins combo, had excited expressions on their faces.

I think this is a sure thing!

Just then, someone timidly raised their hand: "Teacher, may I ask a question?"

Everyone turned to look and saw a chubby little boy.

"you say!"

"Teacher, is there a mistake? I bought the highest-tier package, worth 200 spirit coins, but why did I receive a card instead?"

"What? A 200 spirit coins meal?"

"Wow, what a tycoon!"

"This guy is so rich!"

……

As soon as he said this, a collective gasp rippled through the students.

The school only gives each student a subsidy of 100 spirit coins per month, but this guy actually took out 200 in one go. Obviously, there is an elder in his family who is a cultivator and gave him lucky money.

"envious."

"Envy +1".

"Envy +2".

"Envy +10086".
