Chapter 134: Southern Lin and Northen Zhao
Although she couldn’t cultivate in her current state, consuming meat that infused with spiritual energy posed no issue for her body.
Once it was ingested, the spiritual essence would disperse throughout her body’s cells.
Without cultivation, the spiritual energy would permeate every cell until it reached its limit and dissipated the excess outward.
Most people wouldn’t indulge in such extravagance, but her circumstances were different.
Due to the effects of the dispersing bone fragrance, her cultivation had significantly declined, leaving her body empty and lacking in spiritual essence.
Having this energy meant she could nurture her body.
After a month, when all traces of the dispersing bone fragrance were cleared from her body, resuming cultivation wouldn’t be as strenuous as before.
Overwhelmed with joy, Amalia’s smile vanished suddenly.
Could it be... Kenny Lin went out this time specifically to hunt for these spiritually charged meat chunks for her?
Examining the meat chunks, she speculated that with such abundant spiritual energy, the original owner of this flesh was undoubtedly formidable creature.
Her gaze then shifted to the claws and bones on the ground.
If they all originated from the same creature, she might have misjudged Kenny Lin.
Amalia’s expression fluctuated between cloudy and clear.
This issue, which she had initially decided to let unfold naturally, now weighed heavily on her mind.
This seemingly shameless man turned out to be surprisingly adept at stirring up trouble in other people mind.
Well, so be it.
Amalia tidied up the items and used a amulet to dispel the strange odor in the dormitory, and then took out a piece of spiritual meat.
Her single-person dormitory had everything necessary, even a fully equipped kitchen, sparing her the need to search for cooking utensils again.
The meat chunk was rich in spiritual energy but couldn’t be directly consumed due to impurities that were bad for spirit cultivator.
They needed to be removed before consumption.
As an artificer, Amalia excelled at purifying impurities.
With a few quick actions, she rendered the meat chunk more tender and succulent, and draining the impurities into the drain.
She didn’t go for anything fancy, and simply preparing a few grilled meat pieces and seasoning them with her homemade condiments, instantly filling the air with a delightful aroma.
In her previous life, after her family’s passed away, she cultivated the habit of being self-sufficient, particularly in securing food.
Her current culinary skills weren’t innate; they were the result of trial and error.
After plating each grilled piece, Amalia decided to call Kenny Lin.
Considering the numerous things he had brought for her, she didn’t want to dine alone for the first meal.
The communicator rang seven or eight times, but as there was no response from the other end, she disconnected the call herself.
Surprised, Amalia had experienced this once before.
This time, she sent a message but received no reply even after waiting for ten minutes.
She decided not to wait any longer, and assuming the other person was not interested.
"Who’s cooking such delicious grilled meat? I want to buy some!!"
"I also want to buy +1."
"Count me in +2. But seriously, if there were such a shop, wouldn’t it have been famous by now? Is someone in the dorms cooking it? Can I have a piece?"
"Who’s so unethical to eat grilled meat in the middle of the night?"
"..."
The aroma of the grilled meat tantalized the floors above and below the dormitory.
Some previously darkened dorms lit up again as people peered out, and searching around but failing to pinpoint the origin.
Complaints echoed, as the school’s efficient ventilation systems made it impossible to trace the source from outside.
The next day was an elective class at the artifact refining college.
Thinking of the temperamental Professor Frans, Amalia arrived a few minutes early.
None of the classmates in the major class dared to be late this time.
Amalia chose a seat randomly, and the red-headed girl didn’t come to bother her again.
Amalia later learned her name was Karina Wences.
A woman from the Wences family had married into the Yoder family, although the Wences family’s influence wasn’t as extensive as the Yoder’s.
Outsiders often claimed the Wences family was dependent on the Yoder family.
Accompanying Karina Wences was Rasler Yoder.
Amalia didn’t intend to engage in conversation with them.
However, Rasler Yoder took the initiative to approach her and apologized on behalf of Karina Wences for her previous attitude.
"Karina’s attitude last time was poor. I’d like to apologize on her behalf, i hopeyou won’t take it to heart," Rasler Yoder said with tact, and graceful smile.
Flexible and accommodating, he is a person who ready to do big things – that was Amalia’s second impression of him.
In short, he was still a tough nut to crack.
The Yoder family had once exiled Amalia’s biological father to the big apple city branch.
Amalia didn’t know the intricacies of the grudges and alliances involved in it, so she wouldn’t take the initiative to causing trouble for the Yoder family.
However, if they came after her, she wouldn’t hesitate to strike back.
Before that, she preferred to keep no affiliation with the Yoder family.
Rasler Yoder’s reaction was very dull, as if they had only just met.
But Amalia knew he must have investigated her background and was aware she was Raminas Yoder’s daughter.
Rasler Yoder’s reaction was interesting.
The Yoder family probably had no intention of acknowledging her.
It was truly fascinating, that she though she was the most cold-heartedness one.
Amalia squinted her eyes slightly.
"I thought it might have been a suggestion from Young Master Yoder. Since it wasn’t, I haven’t taken it to heart. It’s all good," she replied calmly.
If it were his suggestion, would she have taken it more seriously?
Rasler Yoder pondered briefly, and maintaining his smile, sayubg: "Thank you for your understanding, Amalia. By the way, Professor Frans left an assignment in the last class. If anyone hasn’t completed it, he’ll impose penalties."
Before leaving, Rasler Yoder reminded her deliberately.
"Thank you for the reminder, Young Master Yoder," Amalia replied casually, not disclosing whether she had completed the assignment or not.
Rasler Yoder glanced meaningfully at her and promptly returned to his seat just a seconds before Professor Frans entered the classroom.
Before the class was started, Professor Frans, as usual, took attendance quite responsibly.
Only after the formal start of the class did he begin discussing the previous assignment.
Having listened to the content of the first class before, Amalia knew that in the last semester, Professor Frans was taught the student about material identification, understanding the characteristics and functions of all materials, and refining materials.
The higher the purity of the materials, the better.
This semester’s first assignment also involved refining material purity.
However, this time, the difficulty level was higher.
The ore which distributed by the school, not only grew in radioactive areas but also contained an unusually high amount of impurities.
After the last class, Amalia hadn’t done much with the ore she brought back, only refining it three times, and reducing its size from the size of a fist to one-fourth.
This time, Rasler Yoder is the one who refine the highest purity of materials, and managed to refine it five times.
Starting at one-third of the size, it reduced to one-fifth, and earning the highest score.
Amalia who attempting to refine it three times was barely passed and remained average, drawing a few discreet glances from the other student.
After class, as Amalia walked out of the artifact refining collebe with others, suddenly, a commotion erupted ahead.
Several boys screamed as they ran past her, and leaving behind a whirlwind.
"What’s happening?" Some female classmates was confused, and immediately stopped a boy they were on good terms with to inquire.
"Senior Zanilia’s back! Don’t hold me, I’m going to see Senior Zanilia!" The boy blushed, as if preparing to meet a sweetheart.
"What’s going on? Who’s Senior Zanilia?" A genuinely clueless transfer student asked.
Earning a disdainful glance from a nearby girl, "You don’t even know Senior Zanilia? That’s Zanilia Zhao! One of the two big names at Heavenly Path University."
The transfer student slowly pieced it together, and it eyes widening suddenly, "Are you talking about the famous duo genius southern Lin and northern Zhao? Goodness, I’ve heard about them even before coming to Heavenly Path University. They’re my idols too! I have to go check it out."
With that, he dashed off, and leaving the girl who intended to explain the ’Southern Lin and Northern Zhao’ allusion at a loss.
"What are Southern Lin and Northern Zhao?" a cold voice suddenly echoed in the female student’s ear.
The female student jerked her head up, her eyes lighting up as she stared at Amalia who had asked the question: "You, not knowing this? Let me enlighten you. As a Heavenly Path University student, never admit in front of others classmates that you’re unaware of Southern Lin and Northern Zhao, or they might devour you alive."
