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

"However, students should also be aware that although this right has been granted to you by the Immortal Alliance, you cannot submit your application indiscriminately."

"If you meet the requirements, that's fine. But if you are rejected, the school will have a strict review system. They will use the power of immortality and AI to conduct a comprehensive analysis to determine whether you submitted this application because you misjudged your physical condition or simply wanted to take advantage of the situation with a gambler's mentality."

"The former is naturally fine, as there is no malicious intent, and the school will not bother with such a small matter. However, if it is the latter, it will be recorded as a demerit, since such a desire to take advantage is a waste of the school's and the Immortal Alliance's resources."

When Tang Ya said this, both her voice and tone became extremely stern.

The students below looked completely bewildered.

What do you mean?

So, this Spirit Gathering Pill is actually distributed on demand?

How is that possible?

No wonder the students were puzzled. Just a moment ago, they were urging everyone to take out loans, and only to make sure they could attend general education courses. How come the benefits have suddenly become so much better?

Even Duan Xuan found it unbelievable at this moment, and even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

After all, this doesn't make sense. Can you imagine a fantasy world where pills are given away for free, but you want me to take out a loan to develop my brain in order to improve my math and science skills?

This is absolutely outrageous!

I have a feeling that something is wrong.

"Teacher, are you serious? These pills are really distributed on demand, and they're free?"

Others were even more shocked, and some couldn't help but ask!

"Yes, I've already made myself very clear."

Tang Ya's face was full of warm smiles, clearly anticipating the students' doubts: "There are only two questions. First, the application process I just mentioned should be taken seriously, and you shouldn't have any ulterior motives. Second, the two Spirit Gathering Pills each person receives every day are for your cultivation, so no one should have any ulterior motives."

"If anyone doesn't consume the pills themselves and instead lets them end up off campus, the school will deal with it seriously. At best, they'll receive a demerit and have all their benefits reduced; at worst, they'll have credits deducted, affecting their degree upon graduation. In extremely serious cases, they might even be reported to the Immortal Alliance and prosecuted for reselling cultivation materials. Everyone knows exactly what the consequences will be..."

Despite the teacher's stern tone, the students were not intimidated. After all, no one would be so foolish as to refuse free pills and take such a huge risk for a mere few spirit coins.

What truly surprised them was how generous the school was.

Taken aback, the students forgot about class and started whispering among themselves.

It should be noted that after this period of university life, they are no longer complete novices!

The so-called general education courses are not just mathematics, physics and chemistry, but also include other subjects. For example, not long ago, they just finished learning the entire history of the cultivation world through quantum indoctrination.

Although it is a relatively concise popular book, it also mentions the Gathering Spirit Pill, a basic medicine that is quite important in the Qi Refining stage.

As the name suggests, the Spirit Gathering Pill can increase the mana of Qi Refining cultivators, greatly improving the cultivation speed of the user during the Qi Refining stage.

Although it is a basic type of elixir, it would still be very valuable in ancient times.

The book "A General History of the Cultivation World: From Ancient Spirit Realms to Modern Civilization" mentions that the Spirit Gathering Pill appeared about 150 million years ago. It was invented by a master alchemist named Hao, who improved upon dozens of ancient alchemy formulas.

Don't underestimate this improvement. Compared with the ancient pills used as a reference, the number and types of spiritual herbs required to refine the Spirit Gathering Pill have been greatly reduced. At the same time, it has retained at least 90% of the original efficacy. It was from then on that this cheap and affordable pill was able to become popular and promoted in the cultivation world.

Even so, the Spirit Gathering Pill remains extremely rare.

Let alone rogue cultivators who can't afford it, even cultivation families and large sects, even inner disciples, only get a handful of pills a month.

After all, rare and precious materials are always scarce compared to those who cultivate immortality, so how could they be supplied freely?

This is basic common sense for most people.

The most difficult part of cultivating immortality is acquiring various resources, and now the school is actually providing them in abundance.

Not only do people receive two pills per day, but they can also apply for more if that's not enough.

This is absolutely outrageous!

It could even be said that this is no longer a matter of welfare, but rather a subversion of people's imagination and rules regarding the cultivation world.

Even Duan Xuan was somewhat dazed.

I can't help but compare it with the cultivation novels I read in my previous life. The era I live in now is simply enviable. It can be said that every student who gets into university has received the treatment of a protagonist.

Clearly, this is due to the tremendous enrichment of social productivity!

However, some people still raised questions or expressed concerns.

A student timidly raised his hand: "Teacher, with so many Spirit Gathering Pills, is the school really capable of supplying them all? Won't we run out of stock because we consume too many?"

It's no wonder he had this question. Although Shuiyun Daoyun Academy is the highest institution of learning on Shuiyun Star, he believed that the treatment at other universities wouldn't be too different.

Considering the scale of new university students each year, the amount of pills provided would be astronomical, and that's no exaggeration.

After all, the number of undergraduates, junior college graduates, and vocational college students combined is definitely in the tens of thousands.

Note that this refers to tens of thousands of institutions; you can imagine how many students there are.

Are there really so many alchemists capable of supplying this quantity of pills?

Everyone expressed doubt, but Tang Ya chuckled contentedly, smoothing a strand of hair behind her ear with her hand. Her movements were fluid and effortless, and her beauty was like jade. No one could tell that this was merely a divine puppet controlled by a split soul of hers: "What are you thinking? Why would you need an alchemist? It's just a mere Spirit Gathering Pill, a basic introductory pill. How could it involve such a high-level group as alchemists?"

What do you mean?

The students were stunned.

The teacher's complaints were completely unexpected.

Alchemists hold a high status in the cultivation world, and they are well aware of this. However, as the name suggests, alchemy is their primary duty, so what does this have to do with whether or not one has a basic understanding of pills?

"Could it be that the Spirit Gathering Pill isn't refined?"

"Of course not."

Tang Ya still had a smile on her face, and then she smiled as she explained to the group of newbies: "You are learning the general history of cultivation, but because it is a simplified version, there are many things that have not been mentioned."

"Actually, this is not a difficult question to understand. Just think about it and you should understand. What era are we living in now? Basic pills with simple production processes are of course produced industrially and in a standardized manner."
