Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 290 Capacity
"Grandpa, this is gold nectar, it's very good for your health."

Gao Wu took out twelve vials of medicine. The golden liquid inside the transparent glass bottles flowed slowly like syrup, creating a beautiful effect.

These are all first-grade iodine nectar, purified and refined in a specialized biological laboratory, killing all gene activity while retaining pure spiritual medicinal power.

Golden elixir nourishes the body from the root; it is a pure tonic, perfectly suited to the old man's condition.

For this reason, Gao Wu specially brought some low-grade fish-dragon gold paste and put it in the mouth of the mechanical warhorse.

The security headquarters houses the alliance's largest biological laboratory, gathering top scientists from all walks of life, making it very easy to handle the tiny ichthyosaur syrup.

Of course, doing side jobs for Gao Wu required payment. Gao Wu gave the other party a pound of Grade 3 Fish-Dragon Gold Elixir as payment, and both parties were satisfied.

Level one of the Fish-Dragon Elixir is the limit that ordinary people can tolerate. Any higher levels can easily induce physical deformities.

Grandpa Shang didn't know how precious the gold elixir was, but he knew it was Gao Wu's heartfelt gift, and that was what made him most gratified.

My grandson is only eighteen this year, not even nineteen yet. It is said that he went to Nanzhou to participate in the operation to eliminate the cultists and made many contributions.

Otherwise, how could Gao Wu, at such a young age, become a major general?
The old man, a veteran of the military, knew very well the significance of this golden general's star. He wondered how much blood would be shed to create such a star.

But Xiao Wu has grown up and is already a major general. Although he has a lot to say, he can't say too much. The current Xiao Wu is much stronger than he was back then.

His life experience is no longer of any reference value to an eighteen-year-old major general.

"You should be more careful in what you do, and don't push yourself too hard," the old man said softly.

"Yes, I'm very smart, Grandpa, don't worry." Gao Wu knew that the old man meant well. There was no need to talk to the old man about things like the Epang Palace, the divine realm, and Venus. It wouldn't solve his problems, but would only make the old man worry more.

Gao Wu said, "Grandpa, I still need to go to the school to visit Teacher Lu and the others. Let's have dinner together tonight."

Seeing that the old man was in good condition, Gao Wu was relieved. There's no need for such formalities among family.

Upon returning to Anjing, he felt obligated to visit Lu Yuan and the others.

"Okay, you go ahead and get busy." The old man was very understanding. He had received a lot of help in Anjing, all of which were out of respect for Gao Wu.

Relationships are maintained through mutual exchange. Now that Gao Wu's status and position are different, he needs to be even more careful about these things.

Seeing Gao Wu about to leave, Zhou Hongying's bright eyes lit up and she said, "I'm going back to school anyway, give me a ride."

Gao Wu laughed: "What a coincidence, let's go together. A ride is free!"

Zhou Hongying grabbed Gao Wu's arm and laughed heartily. Seeing Gao Wu leading a group of people with such an imposing manner, she felt a great distance between herself and Gao Wu, and didn't dare to get close enough to speak.

Hearing Gao Wu's laughter, that familiar feeling returned, and she immediately relaxed.

Shang Qingjun glanced at Zhou Hongying with annoyance. She knew Zhou Hongying was fine, but if Hongying wanted to join in the fun, then so be it.

Once in the back seat of the SUV, Zhou Hongying looked around curiously and whispered to Gao Wu, "Where did you get this car?"

"We've borrowed some from other departments to bolster our strength," Gao Wu said with a smile.

Vehicles aren't unusual, but preparing a convoy for a cross-border operation means you have to use local resources. Fortunately, given his rank and position, borrowing some vehicles temporarily shouldn't be a problem.

Zhou Hongying looked at Wang Tiemei sitting in the passenger seat and whispered in Gao Wu's ear, "That Colonel Wang looks so fierce."

"She is upright and serious, but not fierce."

Gao Wu spent two days with Wang Tiemei and had a very good impression of this female assistant. Apart from not being very good at chatting, she was practically an all-rounder in every other aspect.

No matter what it is, they can arrange things perfectly.

"Oh, oh." Zhou Hongying was just making conversation casually; she quite enjoyed the feeling of whispering in Gao Wu's ear like this.

She couldn't help but blow hot air into Gao Wu's ear twice; if there weren't so many people in the car, she really wanted to take a bite.

"What's wrong?" Gao Wu was confused. What was this sister up to now?

“Brother, you smell so good…” Zhou Hongying suddenly remembered an internet meme that fit perfectly here. She found it hilarious and before Gao Wu could react, she was already hugging him and laughing so hard that her whole body went limp.

Gao Wu gently put his arm around Zhou Hongying's slender waist to prevent her from sliding off her seat. He didn't understand the humor, muttering, "Is it really that funny..."

In the sweltering heat of August, Zhou Hongying wore a light short-sleeved shirt, and when she smiled, her smooth belly was exposed.

The joke might not be funny, but Zhou Hongying's waist was truly slender and smooth. Gao Wu had only casually helped her up, but the feel of it was so good that he couldn't help but touch it a couple more times.

Zhou Hongying felt even weaker from being touched, and she struggled to suppress her giggles...

"You and Sister Jun don't practice martial arts either? It's been so long and you still haven't advanced to the rank of warrior," Gao Wu said with a hint of disdain.

Zhou Hongying is too weak now. If it weren't for his great progress in martial arts, which allowed him to control his strength with fine precision, he could easily poke a hole in Zhou Hongying with his finger...

“I’m practicing too. How many geniuses like you are there?” Zhou Hongying said dismissively. She wasn’t originally from the martial arts academy, and many of the students there were advanced martial artists, on the same level as her.

Gao Wu took out a small briefcase and handed it to Zhou Hongying, "There are ten vials of Golden Elixir in here. You can use one vial every seven days. Once you've used them all, you should be able to condense your acupoints and advance to the rank of Warrior."

These are Level 2 Fish-Dragon Gold Elixir, which are different from ordinary synthetic drugs made from alien beast genes. After purification, they are no longer harmful.

As long as it is taken with care, it will not cause physical abnormalities.

Ten vials may seem like a lot, but the total volume is only about 100 milliliters.

He prepared not only for Zhou Hongying, but also for Shen Yue. If someone lacks the ability, that's one thing; but if they do, of course they'll take care of their own people. Naturally, there will be even more for Sister Jun. Even without taking action, becoming a warrior who gathers source energy is very beneficial to the body.

Zhou Hongying didn't even notice where Gao Wu had taken the small suitcase from. She was pleasantly surprised and very touched. "Xiao Wu is so kind. He still remembers me!"

"Of course, I always have Sister Hongying in my heart!" Gao Wu said earnestly.

"Thank you." Zhou Hongying leaned forward and kissed Gao Wu.

There were still people ahead, so Zhou Hongying didn't dare to be too presumptuous. Gao Wu, however, felt a surge of excitement from the kiss… the soft, fragrant lips were quite nice…

At the end of August, Ankyo University had not yet started the new semester, but most of its faculty and staff had already returned to their posts. Some upperclassmen had also returned to the university early.

The school gate was bustling with people and vehicles.

The black SUV convoy slowly arrived at the south gate of Anhui University, and vehicles and pedestrians alike consciously made way for it.

Anyone with eyes can tell that this convoy is something special.

The security guards nervously stopped the convoy at the gate. An officer got out of the car and explained the situation, and the guards quickly let them pass.

The convoy moved slowly along, attracting countless glances. Zhou Hongying, sitting in the car, was quite excited. Even though no one could see her, she could still feel the fear, envy, and jealousy in the eyes of passersby—it felt amazing…

The convoy first arrived at Zhou Hongying's dormitory. When she got out of the car, there were quite a few girls coming out of the dormitory.

Zhou Hongying immediately became the focus of everyone's attention. She felt incredibly comfortable, as if she were flying, and her feet felt light as a feather.

Upon arriving at the dormitory entrance, Zhou Hongying waved to Gao Wu with a smile: "See you tonight."

Gao Wu noticed the envious and jealous looks from the girls around him, and he couldn't help but laugh. This behavior was a bit superficial, but it felt really good.

As a child, he often dreamed of a stunningly beautiful woman suddenly appearing in front of his classmates, picking him up in a sports car, and driving away amidst the stares of his fellow students…

Gao Wu gave a dashing military salute, helping Zhou Hongying fulfill her childhood dream.

The convoy started again and arrived in front of the Qinglong Academy teaching building.

An Ziru was already waiting at the gate with Yang Tielin and others. She had heard the gatekeeper report that Gao Wu was coming.

If Gao Wu had come alone, there would have been no need for such formalities. But since Gao Wu had made such a grand entrance, she couldn't afford to be negligent.

Gao Wu got out of the car first, quickly walked up to An Ziru, and formally saluted: "Dean, why did you get out? This is inappropriate. I am ashamed..."

An Ziru smiled, looking at the golden star on Gao Wu's shoulder with great emotion: "It's only been a few months, and everything is so different. As his teacher, I am truly honored!"

If she hadn't witnessed Gao Wu's rise step by step, she wouldn't have believed that in just one year, he had grown from a low-level warrior into a martial arts expert, killing numerous level-six masters and becoming a major general in the military.

She struggled her whole life, and only reached level five. Looking at the serious-looking female colonel beside Gao Wu, she was clearly also a level five expert, her source energy aura even stronger than Gao Wu's.

"It's all thanks to the teachers' excellent teaching that the students are where they are today."

Gao Wu said a few words of modesty, then took the initiative to shake hands with Yang Tielin, saying, "Brother Yang, why aren't you saying anything? You're being too polite."

Yang Tielin chuckled dryly, "The general's star is too dazzling; I dare not speak carelessly. Haha..."

He was joking, but the officers around Gao Wu were all elites, most of them were high-ranking warriors, and there were at least four martial arts masters and one martial arts grandmaster.

Judging from their appearance, they were all high-ranking martial arts instructors. He had never seen a major general with such an imposing manner. He was just a lowly martial arts master; he was utterly insignificant here.

Thinking back to just a year ago when he was giving Gao Wu pointers and taking him for drinks at a tavern, it feels like a lifetime ago...

After exchanging a few polite words, the group ushered Gao Wu into the building.

Gao Wu's grand return to Anhui University was not for showing off, but mainly to visit his teachers, who had provided him with a lot of help on his path to success. Now that he had achieved some success, he naturally wanted to express his gratitude.

The more influential he is, the more face the teacher and the school gain!
After chatting for a while, Gao Wu took out a gift—four bottles of Level 6 Gold Elixir—and presented them to An Ziru in front of everyone. He also gave two bottles to Yang Tielin.

These are all gifts he gave me privately; there's no need to hide them. It's better for everyone to see them. It gives him face, and it gives An Ziru face too.

An Ziru accompanied Gao Wu to the island in the middle of the lake to visit Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan was also very surprised to see Gao Wu. It had only been a short time since they last met, but Gao Wu's cultivation had become so strong that he couldn't even understand it. He sighed inwardly, realizing that he had really misjudged Gao Wu back then, and thankfully he had!
If Gao Wu were to follow him, he would only be blocking Gao Wu's path. Only a Martial Saint would be qualified to train such a peerless genius.

Gao Wu was always very grateful to Lu Yuan. The old man did not take him as a disciple, but he passed on everything he was supposed to and provided him with a lot of resources.

He respectfully presented his gifts: ten bottles of Level 7 Fish-Dragon Golden Elixir. The other three masters who had taught him each received two bottles.

Since the three grandmasters, including Han Yujun, were not at the school, Gao Wu asked Lu Yuan to convey his message.

After seeing Gao Wu and his group off, Lu Yuan took a sip of the Golden Elixir and felt an endless surge of vitality within him. His aging organs were nourished and his condition was rapidly improving.

Some old injuries from the past have been revitalized by the stimulation of regrowth.

Lu Yuan unconsciously gripped the golden elixir in his hand. The seventh-level fish-dragon golden elixir was so miraculous. If used well, he could not only heal his old injuries and restore his body to its best condition, but he might even have a chance to advance to the seventh level...

Such a precious elixir was just given to him like that?! Gao Wu's generosity made him feel inferior.

Lu Yuan sighed softly, "With such talent, no wonder he was able to soar to great heights..."
