My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

They were all elite Buli people who had fought against the Cloud Cavalry, and any Buli tribe would accept them to increase their strength. With this in mind, they immediately turned and fled into the distance without looking back.

On the ground, watching the Buli people leave, Ruan Mei said to Gen Yi, "From now on, you will be able to continuously receive a large amount of information about the mysterious deaths of Buli people in the universe."

"Ah."

Genyi swallowed and nodded.

Ruan Mei smiled slightly, then strode towards Ji Yuan's location with her long, slender legs. The ground was still littered with blood and the corpses of Bu Li people, but these had no effect on Ruan Mei whatsoever.

Even the blood splattered from her shoes didn't get on her at all.

Soon, she walked up to Ji Yuan and the others.

Ruan Mei sat down next to Ji Yuan and asked affectionately, "How did you do, teacher? Are you better than that guy who can only wield a sword but is actually not as good as you?"

As he said this, he looked at Jingliu with a provocative gaze.

As Jingliu listened to Ruan Mei's provocation, he reached out and flicked the blade of his sword while saying to Ruan Mei:

"However, Ji Yuan ultimately dealt with Luo Hou and Shu Hu using swordsmanship. In this world, it still comes down to martial prowess."

Seeing this, Ji Yuan looked helpless. He quickly gave Liu Ying a look, hoping his two teachers wouldn't actually start fighting on the spot. Seeing Liu Ying nod, he then feigned weakness and said:

"Well, I think I need to go home and get some rest first. I've been fighting for so long today, I feel like I'm nearing my limit, I need to rest properly."

Upon hearing his words, Jing Liu and Ruan Mei finally stopped what they were doing. Fu Xuan waved his hand and said, "Go and rest now, go and rest now. We'll calculate your military merits later when you wake up."

Ji Yuan hadn't rested since returning to the Immortal Ship. His diligence was so great that even Emperor Gong Siming couldn't bear to let him rest, and Fu Xuan wanted Ji Yuan to rest even more.

Ji Yuan had just taken a few steps with Tingyun's help when Fu Xuan suddenly called out to him.

"Wait, don't go home yet... No, I still have work for Ji Yuan to do." She had only said half of her sentence when she saw the unfriendly looks from Huanlong Liuying and the others. Even Fu Xuan, who was the Grand Diviner of the Grand Divination Bureau, felt inexplicable pressure. So she quickly explained, "What I meant was to have Ji Yuan go to the Pill Cauldron Bureau to recuperate first."

"This... is good. Let's rest for a while and see how Bailu is recovering."

Ji Yuan initially wanted to refuse, but then suddenly realized something. If he went back home to rest, he probably wouldn't be able to rest for very long.

He's provoked too many people.

I'm not afraid under normal circumstances, but I've been through too many battles, so I need to relax a bit.

No, I'll go hide in Bailu's place for a day or two and give myself a break.

Ji Yuan wanted to rest for two days, but felt that resting for two days was too decadent. Besides, Liu Ying was in a hurry to come over, and Professor Ruan Mei had been working hard on scientific research these past few days. Everyone else was also working hard. She should spend a few days with them.

"really."

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Ruan Mei nodded in agreement.

With the help of others, Ji Yuan boarded the star raft and flew towards the Dan Ding Division.

Before leaving, Ji Yuan noticed lingering fluctuations in the sky. Only when these spatial tremors completely subsided would the terrifying living planet Rahu truly disappear from the universe.

……

Soon, Ji Yuan and the others arrived at the Pill Cauldron Division in their star raft.

The Pill Refining Division is no longer in a situation where it was basically controlled by the people of the [Secret Transmission of the Medicine King]. After the [Secret Transmission of the Medicine King] was wiped out by Ji Yuan and Yan Qing, the Pill Refining Division was rebuilt under the leadership of the remaining innocent physicians. Bai Lu now holds considerable power within the Luo Fu Immortal Ship's Chiming Clan, and she occupies an extremely important position in the Pill Refining Division.

Ji Yuan had already exchanged messages with Bai Lu on his phone before he arrived, so when he came down, he saw Bai Lu waiting for him.

Upon seeing Ji Yuan appear, Bai Lu quickly approached and carefully examined every part of her body, asking Ji Yuan as she did so, "Teacher Ji Yuan, are you alright?"

Ji Yuan shook his head at Bai Lu: "Don't worry, it's nothing serious, just a little tired. Well, find a suitable place to rest, and you'll be fine."

Hearing Ji Yuan say this, Bai Lu carefully examined the area again and found that there were indeed no injuries, which clearly relieved her.

She then took Ji Yuan's hand and walked forward, saying, "Teacher, I will arrange a private place for you to rest right away."

"Uh-huh."

Ji Yuan nodded.

At this moment, he noticed that his second student, Bai Lu, seemed to have grown a little taller than she had been two days ago. She also seemed to have developed a bit, no longer resembling a ten-year-old girl, but rather looking like an eleven or twelve-year-old.

This is developing a bit too fast.

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

This seemed to be the result of the power of the Vidyadhara Dragon Lord gradually growing within her body; after all, in terms of actual age, Bai Lu was probably older than him. Previously, she had only been trapped in a cage, but now it seemed that cage was about to be gradually opened. Ji Yuan was quite looking forward to this situation.

Bai Lu led him to a house located in Dan Ding Si. Bai Lu ran ahead with her calves taut, slapped the door with both hands, and pushed it open, revealing a secluded courtyard inside. The courtyard was serene and tranquil, with pine trees and bamboo groves.

Bai Lu turned to Ji Yuan and said, "Teacher, come here, let me record your palm print and pupil information on the gate so that you can enter this courtyard directly next time."

Upon hearing Bai Lu's words, Su Chang exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!? So Bai Lu, the tap you just made was to record your palm print? I thought..."

"Su Chang, read less martial arts novels and more science and technology books about the Immortal Ship in the future."

Ji Yuan patted his sister's shoulder speechlessly.

The Immortal Boat Alliance may look ancient, but it is technologically advanced in every aspect.

Su Chang awkwardly turned her head to the side. Ji Yuan stepped forward and, under Bai Lu's guidance, recorded his personal information and other details. After recording, Bai Lu clapped her hands with a smile and said to Ji Yuan, "Alright, teacher, from today onwards, this house belongs to you."

"what?"

Ji Yuan looked at Bai Lu with a puzzled expression.

Bai Lu proudly puffed out her chest and said to Ji Yuan, "This house belonged to the Dragon Master you killed before. It was later taken over by the clan and I was in charge of disposing of it. I'm giving it to you now that you're here to recuperate. According to the traditional culture of the Immortal Ship, shouldn't this be considered a student supporting their teacher in their old age?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan couldn't help but show a wry smile.

What the hell is this "retirement" nonsense? I'm not even two hundred years old yet. I haven't even had my coming-of-age ceremony, isn't it a bit too early for you to talk to me about retirement?

On the other side of Ji Yuan, seeing his expression, Bai Lu also wore a triumphant prank expression.

Ji Yuan immediately charged at her, clearly unconvinced, while Xiao Bailu skipped and hopped forward. As she ran, she kept turning back to make faces at Ji Yuan.

Ruan Mei, Jing Liu, and the others couldn't help but laugh and shake their heads.

Ji Yuan's mental tension was more critical than his physical exhaustion. Therefore, relaxing in this situation was a good thing. Among those present, Bai Lu was the most suitable for this kind of childish playfulness. Su Chang and Huo Huo were of suitable age, but one of them was too timid, and it was hard to imagine her joking around with someone.

And the other one...

Even Nguyen Mai could sense that her students' blood vessels would burst.

Angry.

……

After a while, Ji Yuan finally settled in. To avoid disturbing his rest, everyone else left temporarily. Even Bai Lu used the healing techniques of the Chiming Clan to soothe Ji Yuan's mind.

This will allow Ji Yuan to get some rest.

Ji Yuan was truly exhausted this time.

He ignored everything else and slept for seven or eight hours. When he opened his eyes, it was already night.

Ji Yuan felt incredibly refreshed after his sleep. The rest of his fatigue had vanished considerably. Ji Yuan felt that he could even fight another battle against Shuhu and Luohou.

As he was thinking this, he felt a series of notification sounds from the system in his mind.

Finally, I've finally settled my score.

This also proves that everything has been settled at this moment.

Luofu Immortal Ship, a great victory!

We won.

[You have slain a Bu Liren soldier, rewarding you with +0.5 to Physical Attribute]

You have slain Bu Liren...

First came a series of kills of Bu Liren, so many that Ji Yuan lost count. The sheer number was overwhelming. The physical boosts weren't huge, but the sheer quantity made up for it. With this increase, Ji Yuan felt his physical strength rise a notch.

"If I had known, I shouldn't have let the teacher use that 'extermination strategy' against the Buli people so early. If I hadn't done that, I could have kept watching the Buli people's minions and grinding them. I don't know how terrifying my physical abilities would have become if I had kept grinding them."

Ji Yuan felt a pang of regret that an opportunity to become the Sword God of Shili Slope had slipped through his fingers. But then he thought, there are so many Abundant People in the universe; killing a few Bu Li people would allow him to hunt down Abundant People of other races.

[You have consecutively slain two of Bu Liren's chief warriors, Angqin and Lisa. The system is rewarding you with the Wolf Venom Infection Domain.]

[Wolfsbane Infection Domain: A domain mimicking the wolfsbane of the Bu Li people. Enemies fighting you will naturally develop fear and anxiety as the battle progresses, thus losing their will to fight. Note: Unlike wolfsbane, which can be overcome with elixirs, there is no antidote for this domain.]

This skill is pretty good; in the future, I can just drag out the fights.

Even if it's a powerful envoy, as long as you fight him long enough, you can break his spirit.

Of course, the battle needs to last long enough.

Accepting the skill, Ji Yuan continued looking down.

[You have actually won the favor of the Hunting Star God Lan, and been bestowed with His personal hunting bow. The system is therefore awarding you with the archery skills that Hunting Star God Lan used before becoming a Star God.]

An image appeared in Ji Yuan's mind.

A tall, handsome man held a bow and arrow, continuously firing at the surrounding enemies. Each attack inflicted heavy casualties. Those enemies who tried to charge forward were all defeated by his almost artistic archery skills.

Ji Yuan also produced a bow and arrows, and subconsciously began to imitate him.

At that moment, enemies appeared around him, and Ji Yuan began firing in all directions using the same method...

Having shot down countless enemies, Ji Yuan finally came to his senses.

Looking at his palms, Ji Yuan felt that he had mastered a new archery technique.

It's the same archery technique used by the Emperor's Archer back then.

That would significantly enhance my ranged attack capabilities. Now, facing increasingly stronger enemies, relying on flying swords or the Imperial Jade is becoming increasingly inadequate. But the Imperial Bow Master's archery skills can effectively compensate for these shortcomings.

[You helped the legendary swordsman Jingliu, the former leader of the Luofu Sword Sect, fulfill her long-cherished wish of revenge by slaying the Star Goddess of Abundance. Your swordsmanship amazed her, and in return, she bestowed upon you the most intimate reward (incomplete). The system hereby rewards you with the theoretically conceived weapon: the Sword of Abundance.]

[Sword of Severing Abundance: After the Apothecary's fall, the Immortal Ship Alliance obtained a piece of his finger bone. Some suggested forging a weapon from this bone, but no conclusion has been reached. This sword is a longsword forged according to that theory using the finger bone left behind by the Apothecary. Its surface is covered with a dense power of the Hunting Path, increasing damage to travelers of other paths. Simultaneously, the sword contains abundant power, which can help the user recover during combat.]

A weapon forged from the body of a star god.

When Ji Yuan saw the reward, he almost wrote the word "greed" on his face.

Although the Plague Ancestor is still alive and it's not suitable to always carry it with you, in crucial battles, the destructive power of a unique weapon is immense.
