“Facing experts from various academies at South Pole Academy, acquiring Five-leaf Essence.”
“Battle of Demon City Holy Spring, defeating experts from Demon City and Capitol City, winning the final victory”…
However, the more news she heard, the more Jiang Jun felt the gap between them widened like a chasm.
Unknowingly, he had become someone she could only look up to from afar.
The more she admired and yearned, the more distant and unreachable he seemed.
Jiang Jun originally had no thoughts on it, planning to bury everything deep inside.
But this encounter made her feel quite down, suddenly losing all interest in shopping.
They exchanged a few shallow words and then parted ways.
“Little Jun, the guy just now, who is he…” After walking a bit, the long-haired girl beside her asked.
“Su Yuan, a student at Demon Capital Academy.
My former deskmate.”
“Demon Capital Academy, Su Yuan…”
The long-haired girl thought for a moment and suddenly remembered something, staring at the backs of Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong who had walked far away.
“Demon Capital’s Su Yuan?
The so-called ‘Number One Freshman in the Southeast Region’?
Is it him!”
Shuzhou was located in the southwest, under the jurisdiction of the Great Flame’s western region, not very far from South Pole Academy.
At that time, Su Yuan’s matters at South Pole Academy had sparked quite a discussion in Shuzhou, so the long-haired girl knew a bit about it.
“That’s right, it’s him.”
The long-haired girl withdrew her gaze, looking at Jiang Jun with excitement and surprise, “Little Jun, to think you were deskmates with such a prominent figure.
I’ve never heard you mention it before!”
“It’s all in the past, nothing to talk about.” Jiang Jun shook her head with a sigh, “Let’s go; I’m a bit tired and want to call it a day.”
Seeing Jiang Jun’s sudden drop in spirits, the long-haired girl faintly sensed something and nodded, “Alright.”
…
A few days later, Su Yuan said goodbye to his parents and returned to the academy with Luo Bingtong.
Now, with tens of thousands of Star Stones in hand, Su Yuan planned to spend them all on cultivating in the Star Mist Pool to reach Silver High Stage as soon as possible.
In Demon City, there were many places with Star Mist Pools.
And the Star Mist Hall at Demon Capital Academy could be accessed using self-funding Star Stones.
But using self-funding Star Stones did not allow one to enjoy the ultra-low discount provided by academic points, only slightly cheaper than market prices.
Since the discount on Star Mist Pool from academic points was nearly a third, self-funded use was clearly marked: 10 academic points = 30 Cent Star Stones.
Even with just three times the concentration, it cost 90 Cent Star Stones per hour.
ƝονǤο.ᴄօ
Eight hours a day cost 720 Cent Star Stones.
Tens of thousands of Cent Star Stones wouldn’t last a month.
“Whether buying or exchanging for Space Star Cards, or cultivating in Star Mist Pool, I need to handle the harvest from Snow Burial Plain first…”
Su Yuan’s eyes showed contemplation.
He had two directions now.
One was through Situ Qingyin.
As an artifact refiner from a refining family, she certainly had channels to sell high-grade Star Devices and materials.
Except, Situ Qingyin would be busy with her parents.
Su Yuan didn’t want to disturb her.
The second option was perhaps to consult Xia Yue.
As the second young lady of the Beidou Consortium’s Xia Family, she should have plenty of such business.
Su Yuan remembered that Manager Wang, who was responsible for appraising Star Cores at the Demon City auction last time, was quite professional and offered fair prices.
“Let’s inquire…”
Su Yuan took out his phone and sent a message.
Seeing no immediate response, Su Yuan prepared to go upstairs to cultivate.
But just as he was about to stand, there was a knock at the door.
Sensing briefly, Su Yuan couldn’t help but smile, “Truly swift and decisive…”
