Only I Have the Law: A Realistic Cultivation Game

"Holy crap, ninth place?!"

"Wasn't it in the twenties last time?"

"You've grown so fast..."

Upon hearing Xu Zhiyi's monthly exam results, Wang Kai's previous dejection vanished, and he almost stood up.

He glanced at Zhou Mingyu a few times, but seeing that the other man had his head down and didn't seem to be looking at him, he regretfully looked away, reached out and poked Xu Zhiyi's shoulder, and whispered:

"It has to be you, Brother Xu! Awesome! Truly awesome!"

Xu Zhiyi was both amused and exasperated.

I don't understand why this guy is even more excited than he is.

The next instant, a familiar semi-transparent panel popped up in his field of vision:

[Mission Complete!]

[Congratulations to the player for passing the Elder's test!]

[Rewards: 300 Experience Points, Soul-Severing Dart Blueprint x1]

……

Soul-Severing Dart?

Could it be a blueprint for a spirit weapon?

Xu Zhiyi was filled with excitement, but unfortunately she couldn't take it out to check in the classroom, so she could only wait until the evening.

At this moment, the homeroom teacher on the podium continued, "Xu Zhiyi's scores in all subjects have improved this time, especially in English and Chinese!"

This shows that as long as everyone is willing to work hard, significant improvement can be achieved in a short period of time.

He changed the subject and looked at the top students in the class.

"Zhang Yuan, Han Zhuoxun, Deng Yilin... you guys need to hurry up! Although you are among the top students in our class, there are several students in Class 1 next door who are better than you!"

Moreover, all the students in our class are working hard to catch up with you. Although Xu Zhiyi is still quite far behind you this time, if this momentum continues, it won't be difficult for her to surpass you in the next monthly exam!

They're already in their final year of high school!

Just because you don't work hard doesn't mean others don't!

"Sailing against the current, if you don't move forward, you'll fall behind!"

The expressions of the people who were named varied.

Two people glanced back at Xu Zhiyi, while another lowered his head and remained silent.

Xu Zhiyi was speechless.

Is the homeroom teacher treating him like a "catfish"?

But none of the ones he mentioned seem like "sardines" that need encouragement.

"Alright, that's enough about grades. The school is holding its autumn sports meet tomorrow. Students who have registered, please remember to go to the playground on time."

Those who don't plan to participate can stay in the classroom and study on their own.

The homeroom teacher gave a few more instructions, then handed out the test papers and went through the paper with everyone from beginning to end, correcting mistakes and filling in any gaps in their knowledge.

Xu Zhiyi listened very attentively.

If you encounter something you don't understand, ask a question.

During the exam, he realized that there were many omissions in the knowledge points he had compiled, so he took the opportunity to ask the teacher for help to fill in the gaps in his knowledge.

……

Evening self-study ends at 10:30 pm.

Xu Zhiyi declined Wang Kai's invitation to a barbecue, packed her things, and headed to Liangxi River Bridge.

The experience points given by the cleaner are high, so there's no reason not to farm them.

Xu Zhiyuan didn't come today. I sent him a message beforehand saying that he was going to play an escape room game with his friends tonight.

In the past two days, Xu Zhiyi has learned a lot from him and has gained enough understanding of the habits of cleaners, so she can find cleaners on her own.

He easily found his way to the bottom of the bridge and spotted two cleaner fish as soon as he reached the riverbank.

Unfortunately, he didn't know the technique of firing two darts at once, so he could only throw one at random, which was unlucky, allowing the other startled cleaner dart to escape.

Xu Zhiyi has gotten used to it.

If it were a rat, with limited escape space, he could try firing in bursts. But the river cleaners, startled, would immediately dive underwater, making it impossible to give chase.

Moreover, fishing spears require a fishing line, which is troublesome to change, making them far less convenient and quick than steel balls.

For the next hour or so, Xu Zhiyi searched along the river, his fishing harpoon never missing its mark, and another six cleaner fish were killed by him, while his experience bar also increased slightly.

Current Level: Lv.5 (380/4000)

……

It was nearly 1 a.m. when I got back to my apartment complex.

Xu Zhiyi picked up her packages from the express delivery locker; there were several packages of different sizes.

When I got home, the landlord was already asleep.

After a quick wash, Xu Zhiyi quietly climbed up to the attic with the package in her arms.

He first removed all the outer packaging, took out all the boxes containing ginseng, and then arranged them on the table in order of price from low to high.

It has to be said that you can tell whether ginseng is valuable or not just by looking at its packaging.

That box of "high-end ginseng" costing 30 yuan for 5 pieces was packaged in an ordinary plastic bottle. The ginseng inside was small and dry, looking very much like a wilted carrot.

He held it in his hand, and the game panel appeared automatically.

You have obtained 5 piece of low-quality ginseng.

Xu Zhiyi was very surprised.

This thing actually is ginseng!

However, this ginseng had nothing to do with what he considered a "highly nourishing substance".

He could only marvel at the power of artificial breeding.

Then he picked up the ginseng that cost 68 yuan. The packaging was much nicer, at least it had a decent box, but the result was the same.

You have obtained 1 piece of low-quality ginseng.

Good guy!

It turns out the high price is all due to the packaging!

Xu Zhiyi was greatly disappointed, and then picked up the wild ginseng worth 588 yuan.

This ginseng not only comes in an exquisite wooden box, but it's also quite large, and it's complete with all the roots and stems, making it look more like a ginseng than a carrot.

You have obtained 1 ordinary ginseng.

Things are finally different.

It's a pity it's not top-quality!

Xu Zhiyi sighed and turned her gaze to the last piece of "National Inspection Grade 2 Wild Ginseng" worth 2169 yuan.

This wild ginseng is not only beautifully packaged, but also comes with various certificates, making it authentic and verifiable. It is also from a long-established brand and is said to be over 15 years old.

If this one doesn't work, then the only option is the more expensive 20-year-old or 30-year-old ginseng.

Xu Zhiyi unpacked the wild ginseng and took it in her hand.

You have obtained 1 piece of superior-grade ginseng.

call!

Xu Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief for her wallet.

Next, he unpacked the remaining packages one by one and took out the Ganoderma lucidum to test them one by one.

The situation is similar for Ganoderma lucidum.

Only the wild Ganoderma lucidum he gritted his teeth and bought for 1899 yuan was judged to be "top grade".

You really do get what you pay for!

Xu Zhiyi was both amused and exasperated, but also relieved.

At least it won't cost more.

There's not much to say about the remaining box of Polygonatum.

Although it is the cheapest, there are no quality requirements for refining the primary Qi Refining Pill.

As long as it's Polygonatum, it's fine.

He opened the alchemy panel and selected the basic Qi Refining Pill recipe.

[All materials are complete. Shall we begin refining the basic Qi Refining Pill?]

Xu Zhiyi chose yes, and the top-grade ginseng, top-grade lingzhi, two portions of polygonatum, and half a bottle of dew collected that morning all vanished into thin air before his eyes.

【Please select heat level: high heat / low heat】

Xu Zhiyi had already seen the difference between martial fire and gentle fire.

The former takes less time but has a lower chance of producing high-quality pills; while the latter takes longer but is more likely to produce high-quality pills.

He hesitated for a moment, but out of anticipation for the elixir, he ultimately chose "Martial Fire".

[Selection Confirmed: Martial Fire Refining]

[Estimated time: 36 hours]

[Begin Alchemy]

The alchemy furnace on the panel trembled slightly, and the lid fell and closed tightly.

Immediately afterwards, a blazing flame suddenly rose from the bottom of the furnace, enveloping the lower half of the furnace. The furnace body rotated slightly, and wisps of neon-colored clouds spilled out from the gaps.

The entire alchemy process is fully automated and requires no manual intervention.

Xu Zhiyi gazed at the ethereal scene of alchemy, her heart filled with anticipation.

36 hours, or three days.

Three days later, he will be able to receive the first batch of pills he has personally refined!
