Chapter 62

Several dozen meters away, at the ruins of the Flying Luan Palace.

The missing parts of the palace architecture had already been fully repaired.

Many monsters stood to the side, looking at the Flying Luan Palace that had risen from the ground, their faces filled with sorrow.

The one-armed little monster had a calm expression; he walked up to Jiang Jian and said, "Thank you."

Jiang Jian said, "What are you thanking me for?"

He lowered his head and looked at Jiang Jian: "You just saved my life."

Jiang Jian said softly, "I had no intention of saving you at all; if I hadn't been able to get the refined iron, I might even have killed you."

The little monster's gaze was complex as he said, "But that was just a 'what if'."

Jiang Jian shook his head, ignored him, and turned to walk toward the air shuttle.

"This time, we repaired all the buildings, which counts as exceeding the mission requirements, and we got quite a lot of academic credits."

Inside the cabin, Liu Tiezhu said with a smile, "Plus so much refined iron, the harvest is truly substantial."

Clang.

Jiang Jian boarded the air shuttle, and the cabin door closed.

Shi Xuan held his Moon-Chasing Blade, looked out the window, and said, "The remaining monsters will all be able to get identity devices and obtain non-formal citizen status."

Liu Tiezhu nodded: "These trivial matters are handled by the Jiangcheng Law Enforcement Department; they have nothing to do with us."

Jiang Jian sat down in his seat and opened his identity device.

Notification sounds rang out continuously.

"Learning mission completed!"

"Mission exceeded; reward increased to 1,600 academic credits."

"Academic credits have been issued."

"You have received: 400 academic credits."

"Your remaining academic credits: 400."

Besides this.

Another communication popped up, signed by "Wu Hai."

Jiang Jian enabled privacy mode and opened the communication.

"Student Jiang Jian, I see the learning mission was exceeded; you did a very good job!"

Wu Hai's gentle voice came through, "Do you remember the refined iron I asked you for?"

Jiang Jian replied: "Teacher Wu, the 10 pieces of refined iron have been obtained."

It took only a few seconds.

Wu Hai's message came through: "Student Jiang Jian, I really didn't misjudge you!"

"When you return to the academy, come to my office immediately; I will apply for the academic credit allocation for you right now!"

Hearing that Jiang Jian had obtained the refined iron.

Wu Hai's tone was clearly filled with excitement.

Jiang Jian turned off the communication, a faint smile on his lips.

A few minutes later.

The air shuttle had already entered the Mount Tianzhu track, flying toward the Tier 3 River City.

Liu Tiezhu sat in the back row and looked forward: "Jiang Jian, you haven't hung out in Tier 5 Jiangcheng yet, right? How about I take you all to see the world?"

Shi Xuan didn't care, saying: "I grew up in Linjiang Prefecture; where in the vast Tier 5 Jiangcheng haven't I been?"

"Hmm?"

Liu Tiezhu turned his gaze, "Then tell me, what places have you been to?"

Shi Xuan pointed out the window: "The pet market and Ghost Kingdom in Tier 2 Jiangcheng, the auction house and black market in Tier 4 Jiangcheng—I'm as familiar with them as my own home."

"It's just that when I grew up a bit and went out of town, I became a bit unfamiliar with them."

Liu Tiezhu sneered: "Those places you mentioned were rebuilt long ago."

Shan Ye hugged her schoolbag and said: "Why don't we go to Haicheng to play? The things there are very delicious."

Liu Tiezhu said: "All you know is eating."

Listening to their conversation.

Jiang Jian didn't speak, but instead practiced quietly while estimating his remaining cultivation resources.

"19 pieces of refined iron, keep them for now."

"Alliance coins, still have over 800,000."

"Plus Wu Hai's 300,000 alliance coins."

"1.1 million alliance coins."

While deep in thought.

Shan Ye's voice came over: "Jiang Jian, are you going to Haicheng?"

Jiang Jian thought for a moment and said: "I have to return to the academy first to see Teacher Wu Hai."

"Then let's go to Haicheng in the evening!"

Shan Ye looked at Jiang Jian, her smile mischievous, "Haicheng is very beautiful; I'll just call my friend out and let her meet you."

Shi Xuan asked curiously: "Who exactly is that girl you're talking about? You're being so mysterious about it."

Shan Ye opened her identity device and placed it in front of Shi Xuan: "Here."

The next second.

Shi Xuan's pupils contracted, and he said subconsciously: "She's actually this pretty!"

Liu Tiezhu turned his head, took a look, and also nodded: "She really is a good match for Jiang Jian."

Shan Ye looked proud: "She's my friend, of course she's beautiful!"

Shi Xuan sat down next to Jiang Jian and lowered his voice: "But I still think your sister is better looking."

Jiang Jian raised an eyebrow: "You've seen my sister?"

Shi Xuan gave a hum and said: "Have you forgotten? The process of your Divine Gift Exam was recorded on the internet."

"Although there were tens of thousands of students on the Flying Light Platform in Guangling City."

"But your sister was too special."

"I saw her at a glance."

"How should I put it."

Speaking of this, Shi Xuan looked amazed.

"She stood there, quiet and still; that peerless appearance—calling it 'immortal grace and jade-like beauty' wouldn't be an exaggeration."

Jiang Jian asked: "Then how did you know she was my sister?"

Shi Xuan blinked and said: "Guess."

Jiang Jian shook his head.

His own background was clear and clean.

It was very easy to look up.

As the son of the head of the Shi family, it was no surprise that Shi Xuan had some influence.

"Student Shi Xuan."

Shan Ye walked to the opposite side and sat down, "You haven't been in a good mood lately and haven't liked to talk; why are you suddenly so lively?"

Shi Xuan patted his schoolbag: "These past two days, I have indeed been a bit gloomy because of my cousin's matter."

"But money makes people happy."

"Especially a large amount of money."

Shi Xuan stretched out a hand and touched his schoolbag, "You might not know how much money these refined irons could sell for if taken outside."

Shan Ye said: "On the Linjiang internet, the market price for one piece of refined iron is 200,000 alliance coins."

Shi Xuan waved his hand and said: "You can't buy it for 200,000 alliance coins at all, because there's simply no stock."

"Putting this stuff on the Linjiang internet is a huge loss."

Shan Ye looked curious and asked: "According to you, how should we sell these refined irons to make it worthwhile?"

Shi Xuan said: "If you trust me, I can use my family's connections to help sell them. Each piece of refined iron can fetch 400,000 alliance coins!"

Shan Ye curled her lip: "I'm afraid you're going to swallow my money; I have connections in my family too, so I'll wait until I get home to ask before deciding."

Shi Xuan didn't argue with her, but looked at Jiang Jian: "Seriously, although your sister is beautiful, I always feel she's a bit strange."

Jiang Jian said softly: "How is she strange?"

Shi Xuan glanced at Shan Ye: "There are outsiders here; it doesn't seem very convenient."

Shan Ye sneered, got up, and walked to the back of the cabin.

Shi Xuan lowered his voice and said: "Then I'll be blunt, Jiang Jian; I treat you as a friend, so don't blame me for being straightforward."

"In the video I saw, her mental state seemed different from a normal person's."

"Especially during the Divine Gift Ceremony."

"Your sister was expressionless inside the light pillar, and then suddenly became—how to describe it—she just became very strange."

Shi Xuan recalled the scene in the recording, weighing his words.

Jiang Jian remained silent.

In some respects, Shi Xuan's words were not wrong.

Jiang Zhao's illness had indeed not been completely cured.
