The system favors me so much, I get eight meals a day while escaping from famine

Jiang Qingyi arrived at the Nine-story Pagoda very quickly. Since there were no classes the next day, she directly paid points and asked for a day and a half of use in the training room. Unfortunately, she arrived late and the training rooms with ten times the spiritual power were no longer available, and even the higher ones were no longer available. She had no choice but to choose a training room with six times the spiritual power concentration to practice.

As soon as she entered, Jiang Qingyi felt an obvious difference. The concentration of spiritual power here was not as high as that in the space, and there was no faster flow of time. It was very useless to her.

But thinking that since she was already here, it would be bad to waste the points she had spent, Jiang Qingyi sat down and began to practice with peace of mind.

There is no time in cultivation. Jiang Qingyi felt that it had not been long before the concentration of spiritual energy in the training room became low.

It was already evening when we came out of the Basil Pagoda. It wasn't too dark outside and this was not an ordinary place, so there were still disciples walking around at night.

Jiang Qingyi was wearing moon-white disciple uniform and walking leisurely. Her waist-length hair was tied up with a plain hairpin. Her porcelain-white face looked even more beautiful in the dim light. She looked like a fairy concubine who had come down from heaven, rather than an ordinary cultivator in the mortal world.

Everyone loves beauty, and the students in the academy are no exception. Many of them have heard of Jiang Qingyi's name, but have never seen her true face.

When I encountered it by chance, I felt astonished.

A female disciple accidentally caught a glimpse of Jiang Qingyi's figure. She excitedly patted her companions and said, "Look at that junior sister, she's so pretty!"

The person being photographed followed his companion's gaze and looked over. "It's her! She's really pretty. I think she looks even prettier now than the last time I saw her."

"Hey, do you know him?"

"Don't you know? She is Jiang Qingyi, the top-ranked new disciple this time. What's more important is that she is only nineteen years old."

"Hiss! The 19-year-old is the first, how high must his cultivation be!"

"I'm not sure, but he's definitely not in the Golden Core stage anymore. He may be in the Nascent Soul stage, maybe even stronger."

“I really can’t tell at all!”

Jiang Qingyi was subjected to various gazes as she walked along. She was no longer surprised after being in the academy for a few days. Fortunately, people here did not have the habit of casually chatting up people, so she did not feel anything when being stared at.

She quickly returned to her residence, but unexpectedly Qiao Manni and Ji Xi were waiting outside.

Jiang Qingyi jumped down and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Manni turned around when she heard the voice, "Qingyi, you're back."

"Well, what's the matter?" Jiang Qingyi said as she opened the door and let Qiao Manni and the other person in.

Several people sat down at the table. Jiang Qingyi was too lazy to make tea, so she took out a few glasses of juice.

Qiao Manni took a sip of juice before speaking slowly, “I wanted to tell you using my ID card, but I came here because I was afraid I couldn’t explain it clearly.”

"So what happened?"

"I have something to apologize for. Tomorrow's class is about learning about various spiritual plants. When Ji Xi and I were talking, I accidentally let it slip that you were an alchemist. I'm really sorry."

Jiang Qingyi didn't intend to deliberately conceal her identity. She went to the alchemist assessment to earn more spirit stones, so she waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I've said it, it's not something shameful."

Qiao Manni continued, "After the spiritual plant course, there will be a spiritual beast and demon beast course. After that, there will be a mission. I heard about this from other senior brothers and sisters. But this mission can be carried out in a team, so... you know what I mean!"

"It hasn't even started yet, don't you think it's too early?"

"Our class has already formed at least four teams, so shouldn't I hurry up and make plans as well?"

Jiang Qingyi smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go with you then."

Ji Xi looked at Jiang Qingyi, but in the end did not say anything, so he said goodbye to Qiao Manni and left.

Jiang Qingyi could see what Ji Xi wanted to say, but if she didn't say it, she wouldn't take the initiative to ask. She must have her own considerations for not saying it. What's more, the two of them were not too familiar with each other, so there was no need to care too much.

On the way back, Qiao Manni asked Ji Xi, "Axi, didn't you want Qingyi to help you make medicine? Why didn't you say it just now?"

Ji Xi sighed and said, "Level 5 alchemists are so rare. It's wrong for me to disturb them without permission. What if I make her angry when I speak at this time? I'll prepare to pay her a formal visit next time to see if there's any possibility."

Qiao Manni also thought of the various strange tempers of other high-level alchemists. Although she and Jiang Qingyi got along well, she couldn't make decisions for Jiang Qingyi, let alone harm Jiang Qingyi's interests.

"Then let's talk about it next time we have a chance. There is a pharmacist branch in the academy, and there are many alchemists. We can always find one. There is also a trading house in the academy. Maybe we can find what you want there."

Ji Xi smiled and said, "That's right. I'm not in a hurry anyway. Speaking of the trading house, why don't we find time to go and take a look?"

Qiao Manni waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, I need to practice hard this month, otherwise I will be annoyed if I fail the assessment next month."

"Then I'll take some time to go and see it myself."

……

A few days passed in a flash. After the class ended that day, the new disciples received a task notice: find fifty kinds of spiritual plants from the Chifeng Forest within the specified five days, and accurately state their names when handing them in. Teams can be formed to complete the task, with no more than five people. New disciples are requested to go on their own.

At this time, Jiang Qingyi and others were on their way to the Basil.

After reading the message, several people looked at each other.

Qiao Manni felt as if a stone had finally fallen from her chest. "It's finally here. Fifty kinds of spiritual plants in five days. This task is a bit difficult."

Ji Xi also said, "I heard from other sisters that there are many spiritual beasts and demon beasts in the Chifeng Forest. It is very dangerous, so the academy recommends that everyone go there in a team. This mission seems to be just a mission to find spiritual plants, but it also tests the strength of the disciples, because in the process of finding spiritual plants, you will inevitably encounter spiritual plants guarded by spiritual beasts."

"In this case, we should prepare more things while it's still early. Otherwise, we can go to the trading house to have a look." Qiao Manni suggested.

Jiang Qingyi did not comment and followed them to the trading house.

The college's trading house is a very tall building that covers a large area. Inside, there is a large hall like that of a shopping mall.

There is a row of counters against the wall, and working inside are senior brothers and sisters wearing disciple uniforms. There are people queuing in front of almost every counter waiting to exchange things.

Jiang Qingyi and a few others found a team with fewer people and lined up in.

There is a large screen made of unknown material behind the counter, which lists the things that can be purchased today. As for what the disciples can exchange, there are no regulations.
