61: Chapter 60 Joint Medicine

High in the sky, a pure white airship brushed past a small flying craft, descending rapidly.

The wake it stirred up caused the small flying craft to sway violently.

This small flying craft was specifically sent to pick up Wen Xinmei and take her to United Pharmaceutical.

It was autonomous, with only her and Li Fan in the cabin.

At this moment, Li Fan was cursing loudly.

"Are they in such a rush to reincarnate, driving so fast?"

Wen Xinmei leaned lazily against his shoulder, her eyes smiling as she started chatting.

"I heard my husband say just now that you've seen enough this time?"

"Does this mean you won't be coming to Xuanzhuan University to look for Luo Shuying anymore?"

Hearing this, Li Fan didn't bother to ponder whether he would come again in the future and spoke nonchalantly.

"Luo Shuying's Realm is advancing so quickly, and she's someone who practices in seclusion."

"There won't be any opportunities in the future, so don't worry, Xinmei."

However, Wen Xinmei forwarded a message to Li Fan, and only after he finished reading it did she offer an explanation.

After the internal school tournament, it will be the Joint Tournament hosted by the Xuannü officials, which concerns the allocation of resources for the Secret Realm for the next thousand days.

According to the rules of previous years.

Each institution must send ten Golden Core Cultivators, twenty Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and thirty Qi Refining Cultivators to take turns competing on stage.

Wen Xinmei teased with a smile.

"My husband is in the top twenty of the Foundation Establishment ranking at Xuanzong University, while Luo Shuying is in the top ten of the Foundation Establishment ranking at Xuanzhuan University."

"If you run into her then, don't get lovesick and go easy on her."

Li Fan pulled back the arm she was holding, crossed his arms, and feigned anger.

"In your eyes, is your husband that kind of person?"

Wen Xinmei quickly grabbed Li Fan's arm again and apologized in a soft voice.

"It is Xinmei who was wrong; how could my husband be like that?"

When these words reached Li Fan's ears, he felt secretly smug.

"So what if she is a Golden Core Cultivator? Can't I still handle her easily?"

However, he soon became well-behaved.

Just as he wanted to stretch, he discovered that Wen Xinmei's Spiritual Qi had already flowed along his arm and restrained his entire body.

Seeing the wicked smile on the face of Wen Xinmei, who was leaning against his shoulder, Li Fan looked around the cabin where only the two of them were and silently cursed his luck.

"Oh no, I've fallen into a trap!"

Before the words left his mouth, Wen Xinmei pushed him down onto the seat.

I don't know how much time passed, but the amorous atmosphere in the cabin dissipated.

Li Fan rested his chin on one hand, his mind blank, gazing aimlessly out the window as the outline of the continent became increasingly clear.

Because she was exhausted from handling her graduation procedures earlier, Wen Xinmei snuggled into Li Fan's arms and closed her eyes to rest.

With nothing to do, Li Fan opened his terminal to surf the web.

On the front page of the news, the first and second items were about Luo Shuying.

"Luo Shuying achieves top ten in the Xuanzhuan University Foundation Establishment ranking, may appear in the subsequent Joint Tournament."

"A robe once touched by Luo Shuying was allegedly snatched away by a Nascent Soul expert acting in secret, sparking heated discussion across the web."

Seeing the second news item, Li Fan looked confused. What on earth was this? Could it be that he missed something by leaving early?

He continued to scroll down, and the third news item was finally a bit more serious.

"Incidents of demonic Cultivators committing evil deeds are occurring frequently throughout the Xuannü Civilization. Citizens, please be careful. If you encounter any dangerous individuals, please notify the General Management Bureau immediately."

Seeing this news, Li Fan's heart sank slightly.

He had been able to sense from his recent web surfing that the personnel of the General Management Bureau responsible for maintaining public order had decreased significantly.

To be precise, the Secret Realm Administration Bureau, the Economic Development Division, the Junxuan Division, and the General Management Bureau under the Xuanxing Department were all missing quite a few people, and he didn't know where they had gone.

That was why the public security in the Xuannü Civilization had deteriorated significantly recently.

Coupled with the recent successive establishment of United Pharmaceutical and the Xuannü Dao-Tracing Academy by the Xuannü Civilization, it could be said that there was quite a commotion.

However, as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Li Fan naturally couldn't guess what the Nascent Soul big shots above were plotting based on these trivial details.

Thinking that it likely had nothing to do with him, he didn't dwell on it and continued looking for entertainment.

Not long after, a building with the words "United Pharmaceutical" printed on it appeared before his eyes.

A vibration from landing occurred as the flying craft landed next to a pure white airship.

The cabin door opened, and Wen Xinmei, who had just taken a short nap, was now full of energy, leading a somewhat listless Li Fan into the building.

Before long, an old man with a kind smile on his face came up to greet them.

This person had a Golden Core cultivation base, and he approached the two of them very naturally.

"You must be little Mei, right? To have reached the Golden Core cultivation base at such a young age."

"Truly, the younger generation is to be feared."

Li Fan, who was following behind at the Foundation Establishment stage, was subconsciously ignored by him.

However, these polite words of praise fell on Wen Xinmei's ears and made her frown.

She joined United Pharmaceutical through a seat promised by the Xuannü officials, so the officials naturally had arranged someone to handle the liaison.

But it clearly wouldn't be this old man in front of her with a cultivation base as high as Golden Core.

The old man pretended not to see the hesitant expression on Wen Xinmei's face and continued talking eloquently.

"It just so happens that the section to be assigned to you was previously being handled by me on a temporary basis..."

It turned out that United Pharmaceutical was divided into the Medical Center and the Pharmaceutical Affairs Center.

The Pharmaceutical Affairs Center was currently overseen by three Golden Core experts, who respectively managed the four core sectors: spiritual material procurement, Medicinal Pill refining, Pill Formula research and development, and external sales.

From this, one could tell that one of the Golden Core experts was managing an extra section.

It was most likely the Golden Core expert who was talking to Wen Xinmei right now.

"Little Mei, I am in charge of spiritual material procurement and Pill Formula research and development."

"Pill Formula research and development is exactly where a young Cultivator like you is needed. You see..."

Pill Formula research and development was naturally the most important part of a pharmaceutical enterprise; it involved little work and didn't require dealing with outsiders, making it a leisurely job.

Whereas spiritual material procurement controlled major powers such as spiritual material allocation and budget approval.

Therefore, it was lucrative and the most sought-after department in the Pharmaceutical Affairs Center.

Wen Xinmei was here to find out the murderer who exterminated her clan; she didn't care how much profit could be gained from spiritual material procurement.

But as long as it involved interests, there would be more people to deal with, and it would be easier to obtain some unknown information in the interactions.

Thus, Wen Xinmei looked at the seat notification sent by the Xuannü officials on her terminal, and she cupped her hands.

"The officials have entrusted me with taking over the Procurement Management Department of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Center on this trip."

After saying this, she showed a somewhat awkward expression and continued, directly blocking any room for the other party to persuade her.

"I cannot go against the official decision."

"I hope you will hand over the relevant permissions of the Procurement Management Department to me, Fellow Daoist."

Seeing that Wen Xinmei's tone was so firm, the old man knew that she was determined to take the procurement permissions.

Faced with losing such a big piece of fat, his face was unusually filled with smiles, and he agreed immediately.

"Young people really have drive. I might as well go to the R&D Management Department to retire."

"I will go back and process it right now to transfer the permissions to you."

After saying this, the old man stroked his white beard and turned to leave with a kind face.

This action also surprised Wen Xinmei; she had originally thought he would come to make things difficult for her.

She didn't expect this old man to agree so easily, and she had obtained the permissions so smoothly.

Li Fan, who was standing behind her, darkened his gaze. He naturally couldn't judge what the old man intended to do.

But there was something that could. [Idle and Slacking Off System offline, Overthrowing the Superior System online.]

Seeing the System prompt, Li Fan muttered to himself.

"Did he develop a murderous intent? This old thing... is really decisive."
