Zhao Wei returned to the Black Shark Gang, looking dejected. The Black Shark Gang leader was in seclusion. When he emerged from his room and saw Zhao Wei's expression, he was puzzled. "What's wrong with you? You look listless, as if you've been beaten?"
"Gang Leader, you're finally out of seclusion. You must uphold justice for me!" Zhao Wei exclaimed repeatedly. "I was beaten, and by a freshman at that! If this gets out, where will I show my face?"
"What exactly happened?" The Black Shark Gang leader's expression shifted. "Beaten by a freshman? Is such a thing possible?"
"This is a huge embarrassment. Not only is it my embarrassment, but it's also the Black Shark Gang's embarrassment," Zhao Wei said, his eyes filled with displeasure. "No matter what, I am the Vice Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang. If I'm in this state, the Gang Leader cannot stand idly by!"
"Rest assured, if anyone dares to bully someone from the Black Shark Gang, I will not let them off lightly!"
With a cold glint in his eyes, the Black Shark Gang leader was quite displeased. He never imagined that someone among the freshmen would dare to oppose the Black Shark Gang.
"Since that's the case, why don't we go teach them a lesson right now!" Zhao Wei urged.
He was deeply angered. Being beaten by a freshman – if this spread, how could he remain in Beihai Academy with any dignity? Su Dan Novel Network
The Black Shark Gang leader shook his head. "That might not be possible. It's not the right time. Have you forgotten what day it is today?"
"Today is the Beihai Academy Enforcement Team's duty day!" Zhao Wei realized.
"During the Enforcement Team's duty, various factions are not allowed to engage in brawls, or they will be taken to the Enforcement Pavilion by the Enforcement Team," the Black Shark Gang leader stated plainly. "After today, we can deal with him. Even if we take care of those few brats, it won't matter."
"That sounds excellent!"
Zhao Wei nodded quickly, a pleased expression on his face. This way, he could not only avenge himself but also watch them suffer.
Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Lu Fan brought out a medicinal cauldron and began to heat it to refine medicine, appearing quite skilled.
The people around him also walked over. "Are you also an alchemist?"
"I wouldn't say I'm an alchemist!"
Lu Fan shook his head. "But I can refine the most basic of pills."
Hearing this, Chu Ting was slightly surprised. "I've heard that alchemists need extremely high perception to refine pills. Since you can refine pills, does that mean your perception is beyond that of ordinary people?"
"Probably!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, his expression indifferent, as if all of this was not worth mentioning in his eyes.
Not long after, a medicinal fragrance emanated from the cauldron, a scent that was both pleasing and made everyone a bit curious.
"Xiao Fan, what kind of pill are you refining?" Long Yi asked. "It looks quite good."
"Spirit Gathering Pill!" Lu Fan chuckled. "If we can refine it successfully, it will greatly increase our strength. Then, no one in Beihai Academy will dare to bully us."
"You can refine Spirit Gathering Pills?" Chu Ting was astonished. She never expected Lu Fan to have such a skill.
"It's just a possibility, I might not be able to refine it successfully," Lu Fan shrugged, not seeming to care too much.
He didn't know much about pills, especially the efficacy of the Spirit Gathering Pill.
However, Lu Fan knew that the pills the primordial old man asked him to refine wouldn't be bad.
"Kid, don't get distracted. If you lose focus even slightly while refining pills, it will affect the quality of the pill!" the primordial old man said. "Although the Spirit Gathering Pill is not of high grade, it is a treasure for you. If you can successfully refine it, it will also help your cultivation advance."
Hearing this, Lu Fan nodded slightly. "Old man, don't worry. Since I've decided to refine pills, I won't be careless!"
With that, Lu Fan continued refining. He had good control over the Spirit Gathering Pill.
After some time, the pills were finally formed. Everyone gathered around to observe. Looking at the dark pills, they were eager to try. "Are these Spirit Gathering Pills really effective?"
"Look at what you're saying. Spirit Gathering Pills are treasures. I got one in my family before," Chu Ting said. "It looks a bit ugly, but its medicinal effect should be good."
Lu Fan gave an awkward smile. Being mentioned by Chu Ting made him a little embarrassed.
"Brother Lu, since you refined these Spirit Gathering Pills, you should keep them well!" Han Feng said. "After all, there are likely many people in Beihai Academy who will covet them."
"Don't worry, I have plans for this!"
Lu Fan waved his hand and then looked at everyone. "One Spirit Gathering Pill per person, what do you think?"
"How can that be? You refined them, how can we take advantage of you!" Chu Ting shook her head. "Why don't we buy them with spirit stones? That way, no one loses out, and we can improve our strength and help each other in Beihai Academy."
"Don't you forget, no matter what, I am your sect leader!"
With a faint smile, Lu Fan stated plainly. "Since I am your sect leader, it is only natural for me to give you pills. What's this about spirit stones?"
Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads. "That won't do. Spirit Gathering Pills are extremely precious. How can we let you lose money!"
"Don't be so polite with me!"
Lu Fan waved his hand and took the Spirit Gathering Pills. "Quickly take these pills, or I'll get angry."
Facing this, everyone nodded slightly and no longer refused. After receiving the Spirit Gathering Pills, they looked at them and swallowed them directly. In fact, they weren't sure if the pills Lu Fan refined were indeed Spirit Gathering Pills, which was why they were so eager.
After swallowing the pills, they all sat cross-legged. Lu Fan stood by, filled with anticipation. Even he wasn't sure how effective the Spirit Gathering Pills would be. Now, he had to see if the Spirit Gathering Pills possessed any unique qualities.
"Don't worry, kid. The Spirit Gathering Pills I taught you to refine are much better than those outside," the primordial old man said with a smile. "If it weren't for your sincerity, I wouldn't have passed on my family's skills to you!"
"I think it's best to forget it! Old man, if there's no benefit, you wouldn't do such a thing," Lu Fan said confidently. "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. The purpose of teaching me to refine pills is to help me grow quickly so that I can help you recover your true form!"
