BTTH : genius planner

The next day, after a night of cultivation, Lin Yuan glanced at the white strands of hair that had appeared due to the Life-Devouring Pill and left the small courtyard, heading towards the Alchemy Department.

Upon arriving at the Alchemy Department, Lin Yuan successfully met Elder Huo, who was experimenting and deducing techniques for controlling alchemical flames on the back mountain.

Elder Huo, upon seeing Lin Yuan, instinctively used his soul power to probe, only to be astonished to find that he could not detect Lin Yuan's specific aura. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Lin kid, what happened in just a few days? I can't even sense your true cultivation level!"

As he watched Elder Huo approach with flames dissipating from his hands, Lin Yuan forced a bitter smile. He then stopped restraining his aura, and a powerful aura belonging to a Dou Wang level erupted from him.

Noticing Lin Yuan's Dou Wang aura, Elder Huo was shocked and exclaimed, "Dou Wang? How is this possible? Didn't you just break through to Great Dou Shi? How did you suddenly become a Dou Wang?"

After bowing respectfully, Lin Yuan explained, "Elder Huo, the details are as follows..."

Lin Yuan then recounted the story of how he consumed the Life-Devouring Pill to break through to Dou Wang, mostly sticking to the truth but making slight modifications. For instance, he claimed that he obtained the Life-Devouring Pill by chance during a mission with the Law Enforcement Team, and that he took it to escape from pursuers.

After listening, Elder Huo looked at the white strands mixed in Lin Yuan's long hair and sighed, "The Life-Devouring Pill, I never expected it to be the legendary peak-grade seventh-tier pill. I really don't know whether to say you're lucky or unlucky!"

Lin Yuan responded with a bitter smile and then clasped his fists, saying, "Elder Huo, please teach me. I can feel that after taking the Life-Devouring Pill, I only have three years of life left, as recorded in the books."

Elder Huo pondered for a moment, then made a decision and waved to Lin Yuan, "Follow me. This matter is serious; we need to see the vice president." With that, he spread his crimson fire wings and flew off into the distance, with Lin Yuan following closely behind with his azure fire wings.

After following Elder Huo to the core area of the outer courtyard, Lin Yuan also met the vice president and several other elders. After explaining the situation to them, Hu Qian couldn't help but sigh at Lin Yuan, "Without the Life-Devouring Pill, with your talent, you could have successfully advanced to Dou Wang within five years. Now you've become an extremely rare fifteen-year-old Dou Wang on the continent, but you have to pay such a high price!"

Then, Hu Qian looked at Elder Huo and asked, "Elder Huo, you're the expert in pills; do you have any solutions?"

Elder Huo sighed, "What I can do is extremely limited. The peak-grade seventh-tier pill is too profound, not to mention this long-lost miraculous pill. I have no way to help. The only solution I can think of is to get Lin Yuan some medicines that can extend life and replenish vitality. I know of a mid-grade fifth-tier pill, the Recovery Pill, which can extend life by two years, but I'm short on some of the required materials. This matter needs the academy's support! After Lin Yuan takes it, he will have five years to find a solution."

Hu Qian exchanged glances with the other elders present and then made a decision: "Lin Yuan is a direct descendant of our Canaan Academy, part of the Elite Cultivation Plan. He encountered such a change during a mission with the Law Enforcement Team, and moreover, he has indeed become a Dou Wang. He should be rewarded. I have decided to reward him with a mid-grade fifth-tier pill in the name of the academy. Do any of you have objections?"

"It should be so!"

"It should be so!"

"I agree!"

"Old Hu is right!"

Seeing the responses from everyone, Hu Qian showed a satisfied expression and then said to Elder Huo, "Elder Huo, I'll leave the alchemy matters to you. Take the necessary materials directly from the materials warehouse!"

Then he turned to Lin Yuan and comforted him, "Lin kid, I believe you will find a way to resolve this within five years. My intuition tells me that your future is still very long, so don't lose heart!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan deeply bowed to Hu Qian, Elder Huo, and the other elders from the bottom of his heart.

"Lin Yuan's achievements today are all thanks to the academy's cultivation. Although I am still young, I have received so many benefits from the academy, and I also want to do what I can for Canaan Academy."

After a moment's pause, as if contemplating, Lin Yuan continued, "I am not talented, and my cultivation still has a considerable gap compared to the seniors. However, my alchemy skills are worth mentioning. Previously, my alchemy skills have already broken through to the fourth tier. When I broke through to Dou Wang, I felt a significant improvement in my soul power. I believe I will soon be able to refine fifth-tier pills. If there is any place where I can be of assistance, please feel free to let me know."

Hu Qian couldn't help but praise, "Good! As expected of the pride of our Canaan Academy, since you have this intention, the academy will reward you. Elder Huo."

Elder Huo, as if in agreement, continued, "Since your alchemy skills have reached this level, I, as the head of the Alchemy Department, hereby appoint Lin Yuan as an honorary elder of the Alchemy Department, granting him access to fifth-tier and below alchemical formulas, and also assigning him some tasks related to the Canaan Academy's alchemical reserve plan."

Hu Qian thought for a moment and then added, "Although it is a matter of opportunity, you have already completed the goals of the Elite Cultivation Plan ahead of time. Becoming an elder is not a problem, but you are still young. I hope you will first go to the inner academy for further study to understand the foundation of our Canaan Academy on the continent. You can also practice alchemy in the inner academy. What do you think?"

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and replied, "I also want to study in the inner academy for a while. Am I supposed to enter the inner academy through the selection competition in two months?"

Hu Qian, hearing this, couldn't help but chuckle, "You already have Dou Wang strength; isn't it a bit unfair to participate in such competitions? Those are meant for ordinary students. As for your exceptional case, let's skip it. I will inform the inner academy, and you can go directly."

"Then," Lin Yuan hesitated, a strange expression appearing on his face.

Seeing this, Hu Qian quickly understood the key point, his expression revealing a hint of a strange smile, and his tone became teasing, "Hehe, you're thinking about the rewards for the top five in the competition, right? Don't worry, you won't miss out. Come find me in two days, and for now, just go back!"

"Thank you, Vice President and all the elders. I take my leave!" With that, Lin Yuan followed their instructions and flew back to his small courtyard.

After everyone left, only Hu Qian and Elder Huo remained. Hu Qian asked Elder Huo with a meaningful look, "Old Huo, what do you think of this kid Lin Yuan?"

Elder Huo waved his hand, "What do I think? Of course, I admire him. Lin Yuan is a kid I've watched grow up. He has high talent, a good character, is steady in his actions, and is good at assessing situations. He is also grateful and knows how to repay kindness. Although he can be a bit deep in thought, in this world of the survival of the fittest, being a bit deep can help one go far!"

After a pause, Elder Huo's tone also carried a hint of envy, "Thinking about it carefully, this kid has great fortune. A peak-grade seventh-tier pill! I've never seen one in all my years of alchemy, and he has the opportunity to obtain such a thing at such a young age."

Hu Qian nodded in agreement, "Indeed, I have a feeling that the Life-Devouring Pill won't stop this kid. It seems our Canaan Academy is about to produce an extraordinary talent!" After a pause, as if thinking of something, he added with a hint of a smile, "If this kid could become my granddaughter's husband in the future, that would be even better, haha."

Elder Huo shot Hu Qian a glare, "You old fellow, can't you be serious? If this gets to Hu Jia, just wait for her to pull out your beard."

With that, he turned and left.

Hu Qian, unfazed, strolled towards the inner academy.

"It's time to arrange for Lin Yuan to enter the inner academy and discuss his specific arrangements with the Grand Elder!"

Meanwhile, back in his small courtyard, Lin Yuan let out a sigh of relief.

"The goals have all been achieved: the longevity pill, the opportunity to enter the inner academy, and the qualification to go to the library. I thought there would be some setbacks, Canaan Academy..."

"If Lin Yuan does not die, he will surely repay the kindness of Canaan in the future!"

Collecting his thoughts, Lin Yuan considered his next steps.

"Next goals: within six months, refine the foundation through the Falling Heart Flame in the inner academy, and solidify my alchemy skills by helping the academy refine pills. And most importantly, Zi Yan."
