I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Chapter 677 The Invaders of Blue Star Are Very Similar to the Demon Race

Seeing his apprentice fall silent after his words, Yuan Qi felt a pang of anxiety. Could it be? Had he been discouraged? He had only wanted to use this to ask his apprentice for more resources.

Although he did have some materials left, there weren't many left. He had many more ideas for new types of pills, so the more materials he had, the better.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Qi produced two sheets of paper made from jacaranda trees.

"Look at this."

The above records the formulas and refining methods for these two new elixirs. Yuan Qi shared all of this with his disciples without holding anything back.

Su Mo took it and looked at it. The formula contained two or three rare ingredients, while the other auxiliary ingredients were fine.

However, Su Mo's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw the green crystal that appeared in both of the pill formulas.

Insect crystals are the green crystals rich in life energy that Su Mo obtained after smelting insect egg meteorites on the moon when he first returned.

Yuan Qi took some of them, saying he wanted to study them, and he actually applied them directly to his newly developed elixir formula.

Su Mo also gave these insect crystals to the association. Presumably because the quantity was not large, the association did not fully explore the uses of the insect crystals, but only used them as an enhancer to strengthen the medicinal effects.

Su Mo took a deep breath. What a Zerg! Indeed, crises are interdependent. The Zerg have brought enormous damage to Blue Star, but they have also brought life energy.

"Master, please refine some more of these two kinds of pills," Su Mo said, having already put away the pill formulas.

"We consumed quite a few materials while experimenting with the pill formula, and now we can only produce two bottles of each at most," Yuan Qi replied, carefully considering the amount of materials needed.

Su Mo nodded. She was mentally prepared for this. Before seeing the formula, she knew that the production volume could not be large and it was definitely impossible to sell it on a large scale, but it could be auctioned off at an appropriate time.

During the years she was trapped in the Thunder Domain, the Academy Chamber of Commerce also held auctions. The rare items that the academy teachers revealed in their daily classes would be collected and auctioned off after a certain amount was accumulated.

"It's alright, take as many as you can." Su Mo said, glancing at the two jade bottles on the stone table.

"I plan to have people test the remaining samples; it's better to have more samples." Although she had already tested them herself.

Each of the two jade bottles initially contained ten pills. After Su Mo consumed them, one bottle had nine pills left and the other had five. Because it was a newly developed pill formula, the finished product in front of them was also Yuan Qi's first finished product, and the appearance of the pills was generally average.

Su Mo didn't mind using it all up; she planned to find ten more people to test the medicine.

Yuan Qi only cared about the parts that interested him, and he had no opinion on how Su Mo should use the pills that had already been given to him.

"Master, what should we name these two kinds of pills?" Only then did Su Mo realize that he hadn't named the new pills yet. He couldn't keep referring to them as this or that, or people wouldn't understand.

Yuan Qi casually replied, "Just pick one that's easy to remember and understand."

"How about calling it the Five Elements Pill or the Primordial Chaos Pill?"

Su Mo: "Is that all? Could it be that it shares the same name as some pills from Suzhou?"

Yuan Qi paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"It doesn't matter. Just add a prefix to all the pills from Suzhou to distinguish them."

Since Suzhou is already in this state, Yuan Qi has a premonition that Suzhou, which has been split into countless fragments, will eventually be integrated into Blue Star.

Yuan Qi didn't have any deep feelings for his hometown.

Not to mention his relatives who were still connected to him by blood and his fellow disciples in the sect back then, they had probably all died in the calamity of Suzhou. He was now all alone in Suzhou.

The cultivators who have lived for hundreds of years have already given up many things. As long as they can survive and improve themselves, what difference does it make where they live?

Yuan Qi said he adapted very well to living in the academy, where he enjoyed good food and drinks and could continue his studies in alchemy.

Su Mo: "..."

"Alright, we'll do as Master says."

Yuan Qi glanced at it indifferently and picked up his teacup.

With the drug trial arrangements finalized, Su Mo rubbed his hands together and made his request.

"Master, could I borrow that water-repelling pearl for a while?"

"The ice lotus you need can't be grown in a year or six months, but I've already tried and it survived. It just takes time for it to grow."

"What? You're planning to go into the sea?" Yuan Qi asked.

He didn't press Su Mo about where he planted the Seven-Leaf Ice Lotus, nor did he ask to see it. He knew from the beginning that Su Mo didn't want to reveal anything about the Seven-Leaf Ice Lotus, and he understood.

As long as Su Mo can help him obtain a mature Seven-Leaf Ice Lotus, Yuan Qi has no obsession with knowing the process and doesn't need to create a rift between himself and his disciple because of it.

The water-repelling pearl could certainly be given to Su Mo, but Yuan Qi didn't want to go with her, so he was a little worried.

Are you confident you can handle going into the sea by yourself?

"Don't worry, Master, I can do it." Su Mo said confidently.

She didn't mind that Yuan Qi didn't say he wanted to go with her. She had wanted Yuan Qi to come before because she was worried that she wouldn't be able to move freely in the sea, but with the water-repelling pearl, the situation was different.

Yuan Qi became serious and shared his views on the Zerg with Su Mo.

During his time at the academy, he overheard many conversations between teachers and students, including discussions about the foreign races that had invaded Earth.

Although most of the conversations revolved around his apprentice's cleanup efforts, seemingly a string of good news, Yuan Qi was not very optimistic.

He would not underestimate a foreign race capable of invading another race's territory.

Even if the opponent seems vulnerable and weak in front of his apprentice;

Even if, in the words of those teachers and students, the reason why the Blue Star was caught off guard by the sudden attack during the invasion was because of the sheer number of enemies, and that the large numbers of enemies were what allowed them to expand their gains;

Even during the subsequent standoff, the humans of Earth fought back and forth, and it seemed that the other side did not have the ability to take over Earth in one fell swoop.

But the original population of Earth was over 10 billion, and now only a little over 1 billion remain. That alien race's mere charge almost wiped out humanity. This is the reality.

As for why the other side didn't unite and wipe out the remaining humans later on, Yuan Qi had no way of knowing the reason.

But he didn't think the other party was refusing to do it because they couldn't.

This race that invaded Earth easily reminded Yuan Qi of the nightmares that Su Zhou had once experienced.

That's right, the demons who invaded Suzhou a thousand years ago were the nightmare of the entire Suzhou cultivation world.

Even Yuan Qi, who was born and raised a thousand years later, could sense the tragic situation of the cultivation world of Suzhou joining forces to fight against the demon race from those documents that recorded only a few words.

Even though the passage through which the demons invaded Suzhou had been sealed by many powerful figures at the cost of their lives, and a thousand years had passed, in the high-level circles of the Suzhou cultivation world, no one dared to be careless when it came to the matter of the seal.

I'm afraid that if things go wrong, the demons will return and the nightmare will repeat itself.
