Chapter 329 An Extraordinary Friend
All eyes then fell on Nan Rong and the other two.

The group of them had been sitting with Catwoman the whole time, clearly indicating a good relationship and giving them more authority to speak on the matter.

The octopus man and Heyal both looked at Nan Rong at the same time. Because of the distance, it was hard for them not to notice that the catwoman had quietly swallowed the pill that Nan Rong had given her.

The two didn't think Nan Rong would intentionally harm anyone, since they didn't have any conflict of interest. They were just being cautious out of habit, which was why they didn't take the pills immediately.

However, in any case, it was inconvenient for them to speak out against Nan Rong at this moment.

Nan Rong stepped forward and said, "I gave her a pill, and this is what happened after she took it."

Perhaps because her study of the "Theory of the Origin of the Universe" was much more profound than that of the other students, she was subject to far fewer restrictions on her abilities within Jade Mountain. She had already used her mental power to examine Catwoman's body and found that her current symptoms were almost identical to those of the people who had used the gene optimization fluid in the original plane.

But this is the core space of the universe. The bodies of the trainees, reshaped with high-dimensional materials, are far superior to those of ordinary people in the original plane. She doesn't know how effective the gene optimization agent will be.

The short doctor looked up and stared straight at her: "As expected—aren't you freshmen? How come you can afford the Vitality Enhancement Pill? Although this Vitality Enhancement Pill can only be considered a low-grade one, it's enough for her to digest for a while."

"Zengyuan Pill?" A knowledgeable classmate next to him widened his eyes instantly: "Is it the rare medicine mentioned in 'Yuhe Guanzhi' that can enhance the strength of the soul body?"

"Oh? There are such wonderful things? Where can I find that book?"

"It can be sold on the trading website for just 200 spirit coins, and it contains a wide variety of items."

"I bought a copy too—the ingredients for that Enhancing Vitality Pill are extremely rare, and the preparation is even more difficult, so the price is exceptionally high. Speaking of which, I saw it on the trading website yesterday; the asking price was 40,000 spirit coins per pill, and it was sold out in just a few breaths!"

"Hiss! This Nan student is really generous!"

"But isn't she a freshman just like us? Where did she get so much spiritual energy?"

"Yesterday I was right behind Nan in line, and guess what? He didn't join us for body shaping; instead, he was taken away by some big shot!"

"My God, isn't it obvious that this person has powerful connections and shouldn't be offended?"

"We're all classmates, just get along normally. Why say such irrelevant things?"

Despite saying that, several quick-thinking classmates had already approached Nan Rong and were trying to strike up a conversation with her with big smiles.

Tafa and Heyal never expected that the potion given by Nan Rong would be so extraordinary.

In comparison, their doodles and metal birds are simply not presentable.

They both deeply understand how difficult it is to elevate one's soul.

Before entering the core space of the universe, it took both of them decades to fully comprehend the textbook given to them by the examiner, titled "Elementary Spiritual Body Cultivation Method," before they were able to detach from their physical bodies and enter the core of the universe.

Their senior examiners had advised them that the higher one's spiritual cultivation level, the more difficult it becomes, and only by completing their mission and receiving the reward can they have the opportunity to advance further.

Even the generous and magnanimous senior student Enski never mentioned the miraculous potion, Zengyuan Dan.

After thinking for a moment, Tafa sent a text message to Senior Enski, inquiring about information regarding the Enskil Pill.

Senior Enski's reply came quickly, and his attitude was not as gentle and patient as it had been yesterday.

"The Essence Enhancement Pill? I'm still searching everywhere for one myself—that's not something a freshman should be thinking about—let's talk about it tens of thousands of years from now!"

"Don't overthink it. The most important thing during this initial stage is to focus on completing your dimensional evolution! You have three days to develop a preliminary plan, then submit it to me for review."

Tafan readily agreed, but a hint of a smile crept into his eyes. Heyal, standing beside him, exchanged a knowing glance and smiled back.

While others might not know, they were well aware that those Vitality-Boosting Pills were made by the pharmacist Nan Rong himself.

It seems they've made a remarkable new friend.

The short doctor looked at Nan Rong, who was being surrounded by more and more classmates, and his brows gradually furrowed.

He waved casually and disappeared along with Nan Rong.

In an office behind the school clinic, the short doctor turned around, locked the door, crossed his arms, and asked sternly:
"Where did you get your Vitality-Boosting Pill?"

An expression like that on a baby's face can't scare anyone at all.

"What, you want one too?" Nan Rong asked with a smile.

The short doctor paused for a moment, then said, "You freshmen won't need it, but I need it urgently."

"Do you want the one you just had, or something better?"

The baby face instantly thawed, and a look of surprise appeared in its eyes: "Of course, I want the better one—how much is one?"

As he said this, he suddenly realized something and tried again to put on a stern face: "The academy has rules that prohibit you from asking for exorbitant prices, otherwise I have the right to report you to the academy committee."

"Then you can estimate the price yourself." Nan Rong took out a second-level A-grade gene optimization agent from her spatial storage.

She was also curious about how this kind of thing would be rated here.

The instant melting of the gold crystal test tube did not surprise the short doctor too much.

He flashed the white light in his palm again, sweeping it over the small pill that emitted a silvery-blue pearly glow, then his eyes lit up: "Mid-grade Qi Enhancement Pill! Thirty thousand spirit essences for one pill, how about it?"

While he was making his valuation, Nan Rong had already gone online to check the relevant data – the few Yuan-Boosting Pills that were sold yesterday were all low-to-medium grade.

In other words, although the price of 30,000 spirit coins is not high, it is still acceptable considering the possible transaction taxes and fees.

"How many do you want?" she asked.

"You have more?" he asked, taken aback.

"nature."

Her solidified space contains thousands of gene-optimizing agents and a large amount of materials; replacing some of them with spiritual energy is nothing.

The short doctor had a limited budget and negotiated with Nan Rong for a while before finally managing to purchase four small pills for 100,000 spirit coins.

When they went out, the catwoman in the outer room had already woken up.

Apart from Nan Rong, the body testing data of the others had already been transmitted to the academy's database when they successfully underwent body sculpting.

Catwoman Mengshan's physical strength is rated as Xin Shang, and her soul strength is rated as Geng Xia. Among the freshmen who are generally rated as Wu and Ji, she is relatively weak, which does not match her identity as a Qian-type plane. Therefore, there are some relatively snobbish freshmen who point fingers at her behind her back.

However, she was quite open-minded and did not feel ashamed because of this. She treated Tafa and Heyal, whose physical and spiritual strength was higher than hers, the same as always, and instead became the key figure among the three.
