Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

The next day, early in the morning, Zhou Xuan, who hadn't slept all night, was still full of energy after he had washed up and dressed neatly; he waited quietly on his bed.

So did the others.

Although they had been enrolled in the Security Bureau, they hadn't received any relevant training and were essentially still the simple young students, with huge expectations for life ahead, which is why they had a sleepless night.

Fortunately, they were all exceptional seeds, influenced by the night of the Red Moon, endowed with various special powers, their physical strength noticeably enhanced; even without a night's sleep, they remained spirited and lively.

"Up, gather, morning run!"

The class leader's call rang out, and everyone left the dormitory to start their morning run on the drill ground.

"Why do we have to run in the morning?"

"What happened to training?"

"I don't even want to attend the eight o'clock class, and you expect me to get up at six for a morning run?"

"This is to foster discipline; you are now an official, do you think you can be as free as in college?"

In the dining hall, in the kitchen, watching the students running outside the window, Xu Yang shook his head, smiling silently.

People aren't stupid, and the Security Bureau is even less so; though they handed the students over to him, the training of discipline was still solely managed by the Security Bureau, and he was only responsible for supplementary aspects like cultivation and medical care.

Clearly, the Security Bureau wanted to keep a firm grip on this newly trained force.

But it didn't matter, there were many ways to go about it, and he wasn't in a rush.

...

The intensity of the Security Bureau's morning training was very high; even for those with exceptional physicality, they ended up exhausted, dragging their heavy bodies toward the dining hall.

Upon arriving at the dining hall, the smell of food and a distinct scent of medicine immediately invigorated everyone's spirits.

"This is..."

"The school's special medicinal meal!"

As the people were puzzling over it, the instructor had already approached, queuing up for the meal.

Seeing this, everyone quickly followed suit, lining up while taking in their surroundings.

The dining hall was clearly organized, with queues and seats neat and orderly.

Other than themselves, many other children ranging from five or six years old to thirteen or fourteen were also eating neatly inside.

"Is this really a primary school?"

"Why are there so many children?"

"Do these little kids also board at school?"

Seeing the children of various ages in the dining hall, the crowd was confused but didn't feel it appropriate to inquire further, so they just queued honestly for the meal.

In no time, Zhou Xuan got a standard breakfast, complete with rice and vegetables, meat and non-meat dishes, nutritionally balanced. The medicinal smell was strong, but far from off-putting, in fact, it was quite appetizing.

"Zhou, over here!"

Just having left the window, he saw several of his dorm mates calling him, and Zhou Xuan had no choice but to join them at the table.

"This meal, not bad at all!"

"Just the portion is a bit small."

"That's the standard meal, one for each person."

"That's not right, I clearly saw someone get extra food, a full plate of it!"

"That's a ten-millionaire from the class next door, do you have that much? If you do, you could get extra too!"

"Humph, so what if you're rich?"

"Sorry, being rich really is something!"

"Don't lose heart if you're not rich; we can earn Academic Credits with the teaching tasks later, and then you can add whatever food you want, eat whatever you like. I heard you can even exchange for pills to aid in cultivation..."

"Honestly, I can't understand why they'd want us to farm and raise pigs. Wouldn't hiring a few workers be okay? Why bother with teaching tasks and rewarding with Academic Credits?"

"Exactly, can't they calculate the cost?"

"What do you know, if it could be solved just by hiring a few workers, would that stingy guy give us this opportunity?"

"This..."

The crowd buzzed with various suspicions and doubts.

Meanwhile...

"Where's the school address?"

"Send it to me, I'm going too!"

"I tried the new energy fishing rod yesterday, man, I nearly died on the spot."

"You're really brave. Normally new energy fishing rods range between 220 and 370 volts; the fact that you're fine means you could go buy a lottery ticket."

"Someone starts with a small battery, just ten or twenty volts to test, and you went straight to such high intensity?"

"Ten volts to start, a hundred volts for minor achievements, a thousand volts for a decent level, ten thousand volts for proficiency, a million for great success, ten million for the strong!"

"A bolt of lightning has a voltage between one hundred million to one billion volts; only those at the level of ten million volts, the strong, can try to harness heavenly thunder for cultivation."

"Electric company: I'm gonna make a killing!"

"Seriously, limiting the sale of pills?"

"It would be okay if it was just limited, but you even have to make an appointment and line up, otherwise there's no chance of getting any."

"Are these things really that popular?"

In the livestream, comments whizzed past; the chat was buzzing.

In front of the camera, Xu Yang watched the fire, brewing the medicinal soup, paying no attention to the laments of the people. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire

Months had passed, and the procedures were long finalized, materials were bought through various channels. "Qianyang Medical Company" was officially established and put products like "Ten-Ingredient Great Tonifying Pills" on the market, sparking a buying frenzy.

These medicines weren't cheap to produce, and were priced even higher.

Still, they were in high demand, selling out as soon as they hit the shelves; in the end, pre-orders were the only option.

It was so even despite him arguing against many, or else they wouldn't even reach the market; the Security Bureau would've taken all of it internally.

There was no choice; the impact of the Black Lotus Sect incident and the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Great Skills had caused a strong sense of crisis in the Federation's agencies. They were eager to enhance their strength, and his pills happened to meet this need. If it weren't for previous agreements, this would have become a Federation-exclusive supply.

Even so, the pills he sold to the market were still mostly snapped up by the Federation's agencies and various powers. Only a few lucky individuals managed to get their hands on them.
