Monitor Ma Jianhua gave a speech.
"Dear students, there is still one month left for the final exam of the first semester of freshman year. Everyone should review hard and prepare well. Especially students who don't usually study very hard should cherish this last month and improve their grades.
Only in this way can we deserve the hard work of our parents in training!
If you study well, you will be able to find a good job, earn more money, and seek a better future in the future. "
…
After Ma Jianhua finished speaking, he glanced at the classmates below.
After being inspired by him, most of the students became high-spirited and prepared to review hard.
There was only one person in the last row of the classroom who was still concentrating with his eyes closed and his mind wandering. He did not participate in the passionate class meeting at all, nor did he understand the importance of studying hard and reviewing hard.
It’s really a waste of all the efforts of Monitor Mada.
“That’s it, that’s it.
Mud cannot hold up a wall. "
Ma Jianhua looked away from Zhang Yuan and said with a smile: "Now, I would like to ask the League Secretary Chu Mengyao to bring you good news!"
Chu Mengyao walked onto the podium.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
"what news?"
"Say it quickly!"
“In the afternoon I went to the office building of the School of Liberal Arts and Philosophy and learned from the college counselor that the college has set up scholarships to encourage everyone to study hard!
In this final exam, the person who ranks first in the class will receive a scholarship of 5,000 yuan!
4,000 yuan for second place.
3,000 yuan for third place! "
After Chu Mengyao announced it, the class was excited!
For these students who have just entered college, have not yet entered the workforce, and have no income, 3,000-5,000 yuan is a lot of money, enough for them to eat, drink and have fun for a while!
However, this news is not very friendly to those students with poor academic performance!
However, after listening to it, most students were still inspired and wanted to give it a try. There is still a month left. If you work hard, you might have a chance!
Zhang Yuanzheng practices the art of spiritual nourishment with his eyes closed to reduce external stimulation and information interference and improve the effect of practice.
But practicing Qigong with his eyes closed does not mean that he is ignorant of external things. On the contrary, when he is practicing Qigong, he is more sensitive to external things.
It's just that many things in class are not important to Zhang Yuan, so when practicing, his brain automatically filters this information.
But once important information such as money and the end of get out of class are mentioned, his consciousness will be released from the practice state immediately.
So, when Chu Mengyao talked about the scholarship, Zhang Yuan, who had been sitting in the last row and was distracted, suddenly opened his eyes.
"What, the top three will get a scholarship?
The first place is still 5,000 yuan! "
Recently, classmate Zhang Yuan used a bronze alchemy furnace to practice refining elixirs and lost a lot of medicinal materials! The amount of deposits on his bank card kept decreasing, and he was very heartbroken!
The money for refining the Tongmai Pill has not been earned yet!
So besides practicing, what he cares most about is how to make money!
After Chu Mengyao announced the scholarship, the class meeting came to an end.
Most of the students, after being encouraged by the class monitor and tempted by the scholarship, have made up their minds to use the last month to review hard!
Some of the students stayed in the classroom to start self-study after the class meeting, while others took their textbooks and prepared to go to the library to study hard.
Zhang Yuan hesitated for a moment, whether he should also go to the library to review and temporarily hold the Buddha's legs.
But thinking that I hadn't taken a single class properly this semester, and hadn't listened carefully to a single class, I gave up on this unreliable idea.
And his books are still in the dormitory. If he wants to go to the library, he has to go back to the dormitory to get the books.
Trouble!
"Forget it, let's go back and study alchemy!"
After I become proficient in the alchemy furnace and fire control techniques, I can make more elixirs and sell them. Wouldn’t it be more than earning a scholarship?
Zhang Yuan found a reason for himself, and then returned to the dormitory to continue refining alchemy with peace of mind.
late at night.
The moonlight enveloped the earth, and the noisy city during the day seemed to fall into a deep sleep.
The courtyard under the banyan tree.
The door to the third floor room was locked and the curtains on the windows were drawn tightly, but the lights in the house could still be seen through the gaps in the curtains.
Zhang Yuan, with disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes, was sitting on a futon, carefully manipulating the Fire Control Technique to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill!
Suddenly there was a bang in the alchemy furnace! A fire was lit, and the medicinal materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill were burned into powder again.
Zhang Yuan looked depressed!
The refining of the Foundation Establishment Pill failed again!
Why is it so difficult to use a bronze alchemy furnace?
…
For the next period of time, the students studied hard in various corners of the class, library, and dormitory to prepare for the final exam. Zhang Yuan continued to refine alchemy and practice in the dormitory.
The third refining of the Foundation Establishment Pill failed!
The second refining of Fairy Zhuyan Pill failed!
The first refining of Immortal Bone Strengthening Pill failed!
The second refining of the Photographic Memory Pill failed.
…
Zhang Yuanlian was red-eyed.
He didn't believe that he couldn't use the Qingtong Alchemy Furnace to refine an elixir. In Zhang Yuan's own words, he was in trouble with this alchemy furnace.
However, after failing to make alchemy again and again, he became more and more skilled in the fire control technique.
Ten days later.
The first batch of Foundation Establishment Pills refined using an induction cooker has arrived.
Zhang Yuan got up early, got dressed, and went downstairs to the back mountain to collect the results.
Tongcheng University, behind a dense forest.
Qingshi Gang.
The morning light first appeared from the top of the mountain, and the air in the woods was extremely fresh.
Next to the bluestone hill, on a cypress tree several feet high, a crow stood on the treetop, tilting its head and looking blankly at a bowl on the stone wall.
The crow's eyes were a little dull, and some of its feathers had been pecked off by its own kind, making it look a little bald.
Not long ago, he just experienced a mate selection battle. Unfortunately, it was smaller than other crows, physically weak, and not very smart. It was quickly defeated and was pecked by another strong male crow in the forest. , lost many feathers, and lost all face in front of the object of his affection.
The little crow flapped its somewhat bald wings and sadly flew back to its home to heal its wounds.
Strangely enough, a human came here more than half a month ago and put something on the stone wall. When he returned to his lair, he could often smell a faint fragrance!
Every time he smells the fragrance here for a while, the crow's stomach is no longer hungry, the injuries on his body always heal quickly, and his head seems to become clearer.
This morning, Crow Crow woke up and found that the bowl on the stone wall was emitting faint golden light, and the aroma was stronger than usual. It stood on the treetop and stared at it for a long time, and decided to fly over to see what happened.
The bald crow flew to the stone wall and landed on the stone next to Zhang Yuan's white bowl containing the Foundation Establishment Pill. He tilted his head and stared blankly at the few golden objects in the bowl for a long time.
Suddenly, a trace of saliva flowed from the crow's mouth!
That golden stuff smells so good!
The crow couldn't help but want to eat one!
So it jumped to the edge of the white bowl, and after trying a few times, it took the smallest Foundation-Building Pill into its mouth with difficulty, then raised its little head upwards at 70 degrees, and swallowed it into its body with great effort...
This scene was witnessed by Zhang Yuan, who had just arrived in the back mountain and was preparing to collect the foundation pill.
"Holy crap! You damn crow, don't eat my Foundation Establishment Pill!!!"
Zhang Yuan yelled, and the frightened bald crow opened its mouth and swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill smoothly.
The bald crow saw a ferocious human and bared its teeth and claws at him. After being frightened, it flapped its wings and ran away!
Zhang Yuan climbed up the edge of the steep rock wall, looked at the bald crow that had flown into the woods and disappeared, and saw that there were only three Foundation Establishment Pills left in the bowl, and he was so angry that he trembled with anger!
My foundation building pill! !
…
Zhang Yuan was so angry that he picked up a stone on the stone wall and threw it in the direction of the woods where the bald crow was. Then he reluctantly put away the remaining three Foundation Establishment Pills in the bowl and jumped off the stone wall. Cursing, he went back to the dormitory.
