Cultivators at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 35 Undeterred and Unstoppable

Rehmannia glutinosa.

The scientific name for "Otherworld Ginseng" is that its appearance and taste are more like radish. It is a relatively common qi-tonifying herb that herb gatherers can often find in the mountains and forests.

"Ages over 100 years old are quite expensive, and it's difficult to accurately determine their exact year."

The black-haired girl invited the two into the store, leading them to a glass display case with price tags. They were being sold individually, not by weight.

The first row consists of one gold dragon, roughly 100 years old. The second row is priced at three to five gold dragons, with an age of around 300 years. The third row is generally priced at ten gold dragons or more, with an age of at least 500 years. The bottom row consists of dozens to hundreds of gold dragons, representing millennium-old treasures.

"Can I smell it?" the panda asked.

"It wasn't supposed to be, but I messed up earlier..." The black-haired girl playfully stuck out her tongue. "Mr. Bear, you'd better hurry up!"

"Oh, thank you!" Mussophie opened each glass case one by one, her nose twitching slightly.

The bear-men have poor eyesight, but their sense of smell and hearing are generally extremely keen. After quickly sniffing through them, Mussophie made her decision: "Please, I'll take this one."

Around 300 years old would be suitable; anything more expensive would be unaffordable for my funds.

"Huh, they even sell Blood Ganoderma and Polygonum multiflorum! Oh well, I'll go back and report to the young master first, and come back another time..."

The panda man counted out five gold coins from his money bag and handed them to the black-haired girl, watching as she helped pack the Rehmannia glutinosa and put it into an exquisite wooden box.

After completing a large order, the young woman's face lit up with a bright smile: "Mr. Bear will be a VIP customer of our store from now on, and you'll get a 10% discount on everything!"

"This little girl is quite good at business!" the panda butler thought to himself.

Next, after purchasing the necessary ingredients for brewing the Life Potion and the Blood-Nourishing and Qi-Boosting Soup according to the recipe, Mussophie and Guts sealed the lids of each other's baskets and left Higgin's potion hut.

"Mr. Mussofi, would young master Tai'an like to purchase experimental equipment?"

"No need. Young Master has more experimental equipment than he can use. There's a huge bronze pot in the lab, and one wall is covered with all kinds of porcelain and glass bottles..."

Soldiers' Division.

Aglaia persevered and completed the morning training session. Pale-faced and unsteady on her feet, she returned to her dormitory and collapsed onto her bed, almost completely exhausted.

School doctor Hua Yun's healing technique was very effective, but it came at a price.

Only a small portion of the life energy temporarily absorbed from the surroundings is converted from the recipient's own blood and qi.

Therefore, undergoing restorative treatment will inevitably come at the cost of significant physical and mental exhaustion, requiring repeated adjustments over a long period to recover to peak condition.

Fortunately, she had enjoyed a sumptuous meal last night. The tea-haired girl seemed to savor the memory and pursed her lips. She wanted to move in as soon as possible to enjoy the benefits of free meals and accommodation, so she got up and started packing her clothes, belongings, and luggage.

My best friend, Guopu, walked into the dorm: "Aglaia! Where are you going?"

"I might be living in the Wizarding House from now on," Aglaia told me.

"You are merely a follower, not a maid or servant he hired." Guopu frowned, emphasizing her words.

"What difference does it make? There is no difference." Aglaia was busy packing her clothes, having already decided to give everything and with no way out.

When doing things, remember not to hesitate. Only by forging ahead can you see the results.

"Aglaia, I misjudged you! Where is your original pride?" Guopu clenched her fists, unable to suppress the anger in her heart.

Aglaia paused slightly: "I don't care what others think, but you're my friend, Fruit... I'll tell you the truth. I think he's a very good match for me, the best choice."

Miss Tyra's younger brother, Tyan, possesses remarkably handsome features, a gentle personality, and a quiet demeanor. If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet Miss Greenfield at the school hospital, I wouldn't have had the chance to get close to him. Didn't your crush, Gus, make the same choice as me?

Guofu's clenched fist loosened slightly, and she leaned weakly against the wall.

"Yes! I can understand you. From now on, shall we still be friends?"

"Fruit, thank you for your help and care all this time." Aglaia stepped forward and hugged Fruit's shoulders, promising solemnly, "Once I've settled down, I'll invite you to visit the Wizarding Academy."

The two embraced tightly and did not separate until much later.

To avoid attracting too much attention, Aglaia donned a shadow cloak, carried a wooden basin for washing clothes in her arms, and walked alone toward the Wizarding Academy.

She didn't have much luggage, only two sets of clothes and shoes, plus towels, water cups, and the like, which she could transport in one trip.

Everyone I met on the street gave me a surprised look.

Aglaia quickened her pace, leaving the crowded road, preferring to take a longer route rather than run into acquaintances.

Although her face was concealed, she still felt a burning sensation on her face, a surge of heat in her back, and a sense of bewilderment and unease in her heart.

Whether my choice was right or wrong, only fate can judge...

"Aglaia? Is that you?"

A familiar voice sounded behind her, and the brown-haired girl remembered that it was the blond boy who liked to secretly watch her.

"Come with me! I love you, and I'll take care of you for the rest of my life."

"Happiness is not guaranteed by material abundance..."

"Please, don't become a plaything of the nobles."

The girl, her face hidden under the cloak, walked away without looking back.

The blond boy knelt on the ground in despair, sobbing and pounding the ground.

Despite the chilly spring weather, sweat streamed down her face. Aglaia walked aimlessly, her mind blank, until she found herself at the gates of the Wizarding Academy.

"Stop!" Gargamel the Three-Eyed Raven cawed, flapping his wings and landing in front of the girl from the top of the demon statue.

"I am a follower of Lord Tai'an." Aglaia lifted the hood of her shadow cloak.

"Have you obtained any documents?" The three-eyed raven shook its head from side to side, looking the tea-haired girl over as if it remembered her.

"Not yet. I need to meet with him first before we can go and process it together," Aglaia replied clearly.

"Remember, this is a one-time exception."

Gargamel's telepathic message reached Tai'an's mind.

"Hey kid, have you recruited a new female follower?"

"That's true!"

"Hurry up and get them at the door."

Without any hesitation or delay, Tai'an dashed out of the courtyard and leaped into the air.

Pale Courtyard No. 16.

In the open-air courtyard, the guardian Luo Ang sat at a pure white stone round table, sipping tea and letting the rich aroma fill his mouth.

The old man looked engrossed, stroking his beard. It seemed as if a large bird was rapidly flying overhead, and he instinctively raised his eyelids.
