C14 Cardiac itching

Lan Xiaoliu waved her hand, "Okay, I know you, Zhou Ping, hate waiting the most. But this is a graduation party, so you have to be more formal. Also, when did you notice anyone else?"

Without waiting for Zhou Ping's response, Lan Xiaoliu quickly said, "Hey, you got my name. I'm going in first, remember to stay at the twelve tables of our territory. Don't go among those wolves from Disney Academy, otherwise no one will be able to save you!" With that, Lan Xiaoliu walked into the banquet through the corridor under the host's announcement, not giving Zhou Ping any time to respond.

Zhou Ping looked at Lan Xiaoliu's back. He was so angry that his teeth were itching, "Lan Xiaoliu, you are the one who is itchy because of other people's intimacy. I will strangle you to death later!"

Zhou Pingwei arrogantly waved his claws at Lan Xiaoliu, but Lan Xiaoliu didn't even turn her head. She made a farewell gesture with her hand and entered the banquet hall.

Just as Zhou Ping was dissatisfied with the disappearance of Lan Xiaoliu, he saw Alec approaching from behind. He thought to himself that Alric was finally here to vent his anger, but when he saw Alec dressed neatly, he felt a little embarrassed. He recalled what Lan Xiaoliu had said, "Do we look close to each other?" Zhou Ping felt his face getting hot for no reason.

Zhou Pingfan suddenly realized that he didn't have the same hostile feelings towards Alec that he had before, but she didn't seem to like Alec at all. She started to study Alec's clothes, "Hmm, well dressed, you look so much better than you did before."

"Miss, no one seems to have taught you to see a person's heart, not his appearance." "Just like ordinary seagulls, they have the ability to fly across the ocean."

"Really?" But you don't seem to know that one's inner qualities are judged by one's external performance. " Zhou Ping snorted, "Looks like a pig, but it doesn't look like a proud phoenix." So Zhou Ping felt that he and Alec should always be enemies of the same class, and that their disagreements were all due to their personalities. This conflict was irreconcilable, irreparable, just as the conflict between the magic era and the conservative magic concept was inevitable, and they would eventually gain the upper hand.

As Zhou Ping thought of this, he heard the host in the banquet hall say his name, "Our next friend and honored guest is Zhou Ping, a First Class Scholar from Columbia University."

Zhou Ping waved at Alric. "Alright, it's time for me. You only need to perform properly to pass the test. Don't forget …" Zhou Ping winked at Alec. "A feast for two beauties!"

Just as Zhou Ping finished his sentence, the host's voice rang out, "Then there's also Alec from Columbia University who came along with Miss Zhou Ping."

As the host thought this, many people were almost stunned, because with this kind of chant, following closely behind a woman was a man's name, which obviously meant that the woman already had a boyfriend. In other words, the relationship between the two of them had become very clear, Lan Xiaoliu looked towards the Alps, while the Alps shook their head with a bitter face, "I don't know what's going on either."

One must know that the host usually had a special explanation for arranging such an appearance. That was to say, only after that, a couple would be able to enjoy the honor of being side by side with each other. Lan Xiaoliu knew that she hadn't informed the host about this before, and no one had.

Zhou Ping heard the host say Alec's name, and he thought how coincidental it was that the two of them could meet, even with their names in the same row, and Alec walked up from behind her and took her hand in the hallway before her imagination could return to reality.

Zhou Ping was stunned for a moment. The corridor outside was leaning towards the courtyard of the vacation area, and outside, the sun was setting. It penetrated every window with a red light beam, and there were layers of light spots covering the air particles in the corridor, making it look like they were dancing in the air.

"You!" Chopin could only say this, chest heaving, clearly surprised by Alec's sudden movement.

"Since you want to act, why not act a little bit?" Alec squeezed Zhou Ping's hand as they walked down the corridor.

"Do you remember what I said?" Zhou Ping calmly said while letting Alric hold his hand. His cheeks were slightly red.

"Of course, we agreed that if I took this opportunity to eat your tofu, my two meals with beautiful women would be a waste," Alec said, his smile fading in the sunset. "However, in order to demonstrate the professionalism of an actor, I had to give up on those two meals with beautiful women."

Zhou Ping didn't say anything else, and Alric held his hand as they walked into the hall. The moment the two entered, the hall was in an uproar.

On the Columbia University side, Zhou Ping had always been the center of attention. Although many people had noticed that Zhou Ping and Alec had come to attend the gathering, they did not have any intimate actions with each other, so they were still feeling lucky or suspicious. However, now that Alric was holding onto Zhou Ping's hand in the hall, the two of them seemed to be a sweet couple.

Zhou Ping was such a seductive girl, yet she actually became so obedient and stuck by the side of that man called Alec. Was she really subdued by him?!

How can this energy be increased? Alec's eyes were fixed on the mass of dark gray substance – there seemed to be a connection between the two.

A thought flashed through Alec's mind. He found that this wisp of grey, misty substance, which contained a strong power, seemed to have come out of a dark gray room! The only difference between the two was that one was solid, while the other was gaseous, just like how ice and water vapor had a relationship.

Yes, that's right, that's it! After careful study of the two substances, Alec came to a conclusion.

The dark gray substance was a concentrated mass of energy. When a sliver of it was released into the air, it would unleash a powerful energy that would allow Alec to direct the flying knife through the air.

In other words, the more gaseous energy the dark gray mass released, the longer Alec would be able to control the flying sword.

Alec looked extremely excited. Although he had used his flying sword to control the monster's energy, the joy in his heart was obvious.

Alec did not know what this mass of material was, nor had he ever heard of it in books or in the mouths of others. However, he knew that this thing was better than any other treasure! He felt great inside.

However, how could he make this dark gray ball of energy release as much of the gaseous energy as possible? Alec was so excited that he thought of a realistic question.

He carefully studied the dark gray substance and the gray mist. After some thought, Alec still couldn't come up with anything.

"Master, Fantasy is so hungry." It was unknown when the illusion ran out from the cauldron, but its white tail gradually solidified and swayed back and forth. Its red tongue licked its lips, as if it was hungry.

Ever since the illusion leveled up, it rarely came out of the cauldron. Most of the time, it hid in the cauldron and focused on its cultivation. Only when it was hungry would it come out and ask for herbs or crystal cores to eat.

Right now, this little guy was no longer just a faint wisp of green smoke. Although it was still an illusory body, every single hair on its body was now visible. Its appearance was a lot more three-dimensional and plump than before. From this, it could be seen that his strength was also increasing rapidly.

Alec smiled. Since he couldn't figure it out for the time being, he would just let it go.

Alec then took out the storage bag he had seized from Hu Yingliang. Inside the bag were ten pieces of fifth-grade herbs and six pieces of sixth-grade herbs.

Rank 5 herbs were sold for around 10,000 taels of silver each, while Class 6 herbs were sold for over 30,000 taels of silver each. In other words, the total value of these 16 herbs was around 300,000 taels of silver.

Five bottles contained elixirs. Alec opened the bottle to check and found that two bottles contained Grade 4 Elixirs and three bottles contained Grade 5 Elixirs.

The price of a Grade Four Elixir was one hundred thousand taels, and the price of an item was between two hundred and two hundred and fifty thousand taels. In other words, the total value of these five bottles of Elixir was between eight hundred and ninety thousand taels!

The six colourful demon beast cores emitted a dazzling luster, exuding a wild energy. They were all crystal cores of high rank commander level demon beasts, and their total value was around one million silver taels!

Alec's eyes lit up. "Damn, this Hu Yingliang is rich. He actually has over two million taels of silver in a storage bag." This was higher than the annual income of any of the four great families.

When he thought about how he had worked so hard to refine three bottles of Tier 4 spiritual herbs and sold them to Hundred Herb Hall for three hundred and sixty thousand taels of silver, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

But now, he had earned more than two million silver taels in an instant, which was seven times more than before. Alec was feeling really good – he could finally buy whatever he wanted!

"Master, Huan Huan is hungry." He was so hungry that he couldn't help but to remind Alec with a sad look on his face, looking as if he had been wronged.

"Ah?" "Alright, alright, I'll give you some medicinal herbs to eat." Alec looked a little apologetic. He had been too complacent with the money count. He grabbed a herb and placed it in his mouth.

"Awoo!" When the illusion saw this, it let out a joyful cry, and with a "sou" sound, it dove into the cauldron and started absorbing the energy.

As soon as the medicinal herb entered his mouth, a spicy and bitter taste immediately filled his mouth. As the juice flowed out, a violent, ferocious energy shot out from within, coursing through Alec's throat, intestines, and stomach, slowly spreading throughout his body.
