Chapter 174

Taking out his phone, Zhou Yi grabbed the screen with his right hand.

Then, with a wave toward the front, the content on the phone screen transformed into a holographic projection in mid-air.

Very quickly...

Zhou Yi logged into the school's official website by operating the hologram and entered the pill refining module.

After a search, the information for the Extreme Cold Pill appeared on the hologram:

'Extreme Cold Pill, S-grade pill.

Effect: After consumption, it can transform one's constitution into an Ice Constitution, while also greatly increasing one's affinity for the ice element.'

"This is it!!!"

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up, and he immediately checked the option to provide the refining materials himself.

However, when he clicked to place the order, a pale blue pop-up notification suddenly appeared:

'For pills above A- grade, please go to the Pill Department to negotiate in person with an alchemist.'

"I can't even place an order online directly..."

"Forget it, I'll just go to the Pill Department."

Zhou Yi could understand this situation.

After all, pills above A- grade are at least A-grade, and at most could be S+ grade!

Refining such pills requires many rare materials above A-grade.

Take the Extreme Cold Pill he needs to refine this time, for example.

It uses the S-grade Extreme Cold Ice Lotus as the main ingredient and the A-grade rare material 'Ice Spirit Grass' as a secondary ingredient.

In addition, there are many B+ and B-grade rare materials involved, which is a significant matter.

It is normal to need to discuss it in person at the Pill Department.

Moreover, a high-level alchemist capable of refining S-grade pills also needs to understand the situation in person.

Like the Pet Market, the Pill Department is also located on the south side of Suhang University.

However, unlike the Pet Market, the Pill Department is not in an open-air plaza; instead, it has its own independent building.

The building is about a hundred meters tall and has 16 floors.

On the tiled wall of the building's facade, a huge pill emblem is engraved.

This is the location of the Suhang University Pill Department.

Logically speaking, all the teachers and students of Suhang University combined only total about 6,000 people.

It shouldn't be necessary to build such a building specifically for the Pill Department.

The reason for this is simple.

A certain former president of Suhang University, in order to allow teachers and students to take better pills and to reduce costs,

recruited many high-level alchemists from across the entire Central Xia Nation to work at the school.

The appearance of a large number of high-level alchemists caused a stir among all the alchemists in Ning'an City.

Immediately, many local alchemists from Ning'an City came to Suhang University to visit and seek guidance.

Over time, Suhang University gathered a large number of excellent alchemists...

Suhang University was naturally happy to see this situation, so they simply built a building for these alchemists.

And it has served as the headquarters for the Ning'an City Alchemist Association to this day.

Very quickly...

A tall and slender figure arrived at this building.

Zhou Yi, carrying a briefcase, walked into the lobby on the first floor of the Pill Department.

This briefcase was the one sent by the Snow Dragon Legion.

Now, besides containing the S-grade Extreme Cold Ice Lotus and the A-grade Ice Spirit Grass,

he wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could also refine this fruit into a pill.

As soon as Zhou Yi entered the first-floor lobby, a rich scent of medicinal herbs washed over him.

However, unlike the bitter and unpleasant smell of ordinary herbs, this scent carried a unique, clear, and quiet fragrance that was quite pleasant.

Entering the lobby, Zhou Yi scanned the area and saw the consultation desk in the middle.

He immediately walked over with long strides.

The person responsible for reception at the front desk was a girl around twenty years old.

The girl had delicate features and was wearing an alchemist uniform with a somewhat classical charm.

Seeing Zhou Yi walk over, the girl quickly put on a professional smile and took the initiative to greet him:

"Is this student looking to join the Alchemist Association?"

Zhou Yi shook his head:

"I'm here to find an alchemist to help me refine a batch of pills."

"To refine pills, you can just place an order directly on the school's official website..."

Before she could finish, the girl immediately reacted:

"Do you need to refine pills above A- grade?"

"Yes."

After receiving a positive answer, the girl became much more respectful.

After all...

Pills above A- grade are not something ordinary students can afford to refine.

"Please wait a moment, I will give you a number tag, and you can go directly to the 10th floor with it."

As she spoke, a cold, silver-white metal tag was handed over.

"Thank you."

Zhou Yi, having received the tag, did not linger and immediately walked toward the elevator area of the lobby.

Just as Zhou Yi was heading to the 10th floor of the Pill Department,

in the central area of Suhang University, in the top-floor conference hall of the Teaching Building,

a meeting that had summoned almost all the high-level instructors of the school was about to be held.

"Old Yang, you're here too?"

"Yeah, I had already taken my students and was preparing to head to the neighboring province, but I was called back right before leaving."

"Although the president holds meetings when returning in previous years, there hasn't been such a big commotion."

"I don't know, maybe there's something major to announce this time."

"..."

The top-floor conference hall of the Teaching Building had over two hundred seats.

At this moment, most of the seats were already filled.

This meant that most of the teachers in the entire school had gathered here...

At this time, in the instructor seating section belonging to the War Academy, Su Mei had also arrived.

And the Dean of the War Academy, Wu Mang, was sitting in the front row of the seats.

Sitting next to the deans of several other academies.

"Instructor Su is here?"

Su Mei, who had a beautiful appearance and a curvaceous figure,

was among the most beautiful even in the Tactical Academy, where there were the most female teachers.

Not to mention in the War Academy, where there were more males, she was extremely popular.

As soon as she entered, instructors immediately began to greet her.

Nodding slightly to acknowledge them, Su Mei casually found a seat and sat down.

As a young teacher who had only recently started working at Suhang University, she was still preparing for the freshman courses that would start the day after tomorrow.

She didn't expect to be notified by the dean to come here for a meeting...

"This is the highest council of instructors at Suhang University."
