"I just know a little bit," Nan Gong Huan said with a smile.

  "A pharmacist who knows earth magic is quite rare," Jun Liu Yi glanced at her, realizing he had underestimated this young girl.

  Soon, with the support of the imperial soldiers, most of the Divine Blood Hall's lackeys were dead, and the rest were captured, ready to be sent to prison.

  The battle among the elders was also nearing its conclusion.

  The Divine Blood Hall elder at the Eighth Spirit Realm, after consuming blood, had his effects wear off and was naturally no match for Yue Jianqing. Of the four elders, one was dead, two had fled, and only the Eighth Spirit Realm elder remained, captured and sent to the imperial capital along with the others.

  The conspiracy of the Blood Sacrifice Day was thus thwarted, and everyone began their journey back.

  "Thanks to you, child, we were able to follow the trail and find their altar," Yue Jianqing said with a hearty laugh, clearly in good spirits.

  His tattered clothes showed he had been through an earth-shattering battle, but fortunately, he didn’t have any serious injuries.

  "I didn’t do much," Nan Gong Huan smiled. She really had just come to reap the benefits, aside from briefly joining the fight.

  "Don’t say that. I was watching your performance just now," Song Xiran said with a mysterious smile.

  While others were focused on the battle, she had been watching Nan Gong Huan’s every move!

  She had a remarkable divine beast, knew magic, yet she chose to become a pharmacist!

  Nan Gong Huan guiltily touched her nose and said, "I really didn’t do much. If you really want to praise me, just give me more credits."

  She grinned, being straightforward about her desire for credits. When it came to earning credits, she didn’t want to beat around the bush.

  "Hahaha! Here, take out your student crystal board. I’ll give you the thousand credits first!" Song Xiran laughed, directly transferring a thousand credits to her.

  This was the thousand credits Song Xiran had promised earlier.

  Seeing her credits now at two thousand, Nan Gong Huan was thrilled. With this, she could finally exchange for the magical herbs she wanted!

  "There’s less than half a month left before the Freshmen Dragon-Tiger Competition. Are you ready?" Song Xiran asked with a smile. "Back then, I met my teammates during the competition. Perhaps you’ll become a powerful member of the Order Team."

  This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

  "Thank you, that’s my goal too," Nan Gong Huan already had her team in mind, including that glutton...

  She wondered how Dong Yan Cuo was doing. After not seeing him for a while, she actually missed him.

  "My younger siblings are quite good. They’ve been diligent since childhood, and I’ve watched them grow up," Ye Sangeng chimed in, referring to Ye Sang and Ye Wanjun.

  "Alright, alright, stop crowding around here. It’s her choice who she teams up with," Yue Jianqing waved his hand, dispersing the group.

  Song Xiran stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.

  Nan Gong Huan chuckled. The Ye siblings had already been on her list.

  What she valued wasn’t just their combat strength but their character.

  "There are some more rewards. You can go to the mission area to claim them later when we return to the academy," Yue Jianqing had already arranged this.

  "Thank you, Elder Yue," Nan Gong Huan said sincerely.

  Yue Jianqing shook his head. "One of the captured Divine Blood Hall elders is a high-ranking member. We’ll try to extract more information from him. He’ll surely bring us a major breakthrough. He’s the most valuable prize we’ve gained."

  "That’s great to hear," Nan Gong Huan knew Yue Jianqing harbored deep hatred for the Divine Blood Hall, especially after they experimented on his grandson, turning him into a half-human, half-beast creature.

  "How’s your search for the magical herbs going? Do you need my help?" Yue Jianqing asked, concerned about her. If she needed anything, he was ready to assist.

  "I’ve found a few already. Thank you for your offer, Elder Yue. The rest I’ll find from the other elders. I can handle it," Nan Gong Huan smiled.

  "Alright, if you need anything, just call me," Yue Jianqing nodded and stopped talking. He had expended too much energy and needed to rest.

  The group quickly returned to the academy.

  As soon as Nan Gong Huan arrived, she was surrounded by a crowd.

  "Ah Huan, are you okay?" Ye Sang anxiously grabbed her hands, checking her over. They had only recently learned that Nan Gong Huan had been captured by the Divine Blood Hall. Although the Order Team had intervened, she was still worried and had gathered everyone to wait for her here.

  "You seem to be in good spirits, so I guess you’re fine," Ye Wanjun smirked. He knew Nan Gong Huan would never let herself be at a disadvantage.

  "Sister, let me wipe your face," Yun Qingqing took out a handkerchief and cleaned the blood off Nan Gong Huan’s face.

  Mei Zhengfeng also looked her over several times. Seeing her unharmed and in good spirits, he said, "I’ve been working on some life-saving gadgets. I can give them to you for protection. Also, that thing you asked me to make... the mahjong set, I’ve finished it."

  Mei Zhengfeng pulled out one gadget after another, handing them to Nan Gong Huan.

  When she saw the exquisite mahjong box, her eyes lit up like bulbs!

  She stored away the life-saving gadgets but couldn’t stop admiring the mahjong box. The box’s surface still featured Xiao Jiu’s image, sticking out its tongue, looking adorable.

  Opening the lid, the beautifully crafted mahjong tiles dazzled her eyes!

  "Thank you! You did a great job!" Nan Gong Huan ran her fingers over the tiles. Now she could gather her friends for a game.

  She didn’t have many hobbies, but she loved playing cards and mahjong, and the smooth texture felt perfect.

  "What’s mahjong?" Yun Qingqing asked curiously, eyeing the small, intricate tiles.

  "Don’t you have classes now? If you have time, I can teach you," Nan Gong Huan put the mahjong set away.

  Ye Sang and the others immediately said, "Today’s a day off. I can come."

  "Me too," Ye Wanjun and Yun Qingqing chimed in.

  "I..." Mei Zhengfeng smiled awkwardly. "I have classes this afternoon. I need to head back. Sorry."

  "No problem. I’ll probably come find you next time. Also, I really like the things you gave me. Thank you!" Nan Gong Huan laughed. The next time she went to him, it would be for the magical herbs.

  Two of the herbs she needed were in the possession of the elders in the Mechanical Department. She needed to find the right time to give them gifts tailored to their preferences.
