"When are you planning to make your breakthrough?"
Just as he was about to leave, Li Yueying suddenly asked.
"Um, one of these days, when I have some free time."
"Alright, remember to claim the first place reward of the fifth-grade ranking later."
Li Yueying smiled: "Today is the time of this month to claim it. Although these Academy rewards aren't much for you now, a mosquito's leg is still meat, after all."
"Got it!"
Jiang Yuan nodded excitedly, nearly forgetting!
Perfect, he would attend to the breakthrough after claiming the rewards.
The reward claim period lasted three days; he wondered if he could make it to the first place on the sixth-grade ranking within these three days.
If he could make it, he would get an extra reward.
While thinking, Jiang Yuan waved to Li Yueying and left the teacher's office.
"I'll go contact people now."
Mu Qianshan had his own affairs, or rather, affairs concerning both him and Jiang Yuan.
After leaving Li Yueying's office, Mu Qianshan spoke to Jiang Yuan and then left.
Jiang Yuan nodded, claimed the first place reward of the fifth-grade ranking, and then returned home.
The first-place reward of the fifth grade was quite good.
Not to mention the usage time for the Academy's cultivation facilities, Jiang Yuan almost didn't need those anymore.
The other rewards included various cards.
Even the four top Academies of Great Xia wouldn't be so generous as to give out a Purple Quality natural treasure every month.
"Speaking of which, I wouldn't mind a Blue Quality natural treasure, I'm not picky."
On the way home, Jiang Yuan also mumbled happily to himself.
To be honest, this feeling of getting something for nothing was really nice.
"I'm back."
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lao Jun looked up at Jiang Yuan and said, "I'm planning to refine a batch of elixirs using the main materials of Segment Green Bamboo Fruit and Rainbow Flower, which are designed for breaking through bottlenecks."
"Alright, I'll leave it to you."
"Good."
Lao Jun nodded: "Although I can refine elixirs for breaking through bottlenecks, it's better if you try to break through on your own first."
"Understood, of course it's better to break through on my own, elixirs should be the backup."
"Elixirs?"
Liu Huaqiang was stunned for a moment: "You haven't even broken through to the Sixth Realm yet, and you dare to use elixirs?"
Before the Sixth Realm, before the body has been reshaped, the body simply cannot withstand the powerful medicinal effects of elixirs.
Therefore, Liu Huaqiang was also surprised and shocked by Jiang Yuan and Lao Jun's choice.
"You have a bright future ahead, don't use such..."
"Don't worry, the elixirs Lao Jun makes are even safe for those with muscle weakness."
Liu Huaqiang hadn't finished speaking when Jiang Yuan gestured with his hand to interrupt him.
"My previous muscle weakness was cured thanks to Lao Jun's elixir."
"Xuanyuan Purple Pill?"
Liu Huaqiang hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively.
"Huh? How do you know that?"
Seeing Jiang Yuan's surprised expression, Liu Huaqiang felt a bit helpless: "Don't tell me the Xuanyuan Purple Pill was made by him?"
"That's right, it was indeed this poor Taoist."
Lao Jun swung his horsetail whisk and said to Liu Huaqiang with a smile in his eyes.
Hearing this, Liu Huaqiang took a deep breath: "So the one selling the elixirs is Mu Qianshan?"
"Yeah."
Jiang Yuan nodded with a suppressed smile, seeming to guess some truth.
"Damn!"
Liu Huaqiang cursed angrily: "I worked so hard to decrypt cards and didn't charge you such a high price, how dare Mu Qianshan ask for the moon?"
"That's a Red Quality natural treasure!"
Liu Huaqiang was frantic, almost wanting to slam the backpack card on the ground.
However, Liu Huaqiang soon calmed down: "Well, I have to say, that elixir is indeed very effective."
Saying this, he shook his head, then ignored Jiang Yuan and continued with his work.
Lao Jun slightly raised his head, his expression as if written in words.
[Of course, it's made by me after all!]
"So, Lao Jun, are you going to start refining elixirs now?"
After laughing for a while, Jiang Yuan turned his head and asked Lao Jun.
"Of course."
Lao Jun stroked his beard and nodded: "You can start preparing for your breakthrough now, my alchemy will be your safety net."
"Okay."
Jiang Yuan nodded, without hesitation, he directly sat down on the sofa.
After taking a deep breath, Jiang Yuan entered his own consciousness space.
Looking at the various colored cards floating above his consciousness space, Jiang Yuan didn't pay much attention, his gaze went past these cards and moved higher up.
At the very top was Jiang Yuan's cultivation.
At present, fifteen stars were shining above.
Representing five Great Realms.
And the last star that represented the late-stage strength of Great Liang, was now full of starlight, flickering at the very top of Jiang Yuan's consciousness space.
Looking at the fifteen stars without a single gap, a smile appeared on Jiang Yuan's face.
Then, he started to cultivate!
He absorbed Star Power and began to confront the invisible barrier between the fifteenth and sixteenth stars.
Breaking through the bottleneck was about overcoming this barrier.
Once he could break through this barrier, the fifteenth and sixteenth stars could be linked.
Just like the previous fifteen stars, there was a transparent line of Star Power in between, connecting all fifteen stars together.
