Feng Wu came out to find the elders lying all over the ground. She looked at them, and they looked back at her. Feng Wu was perplexed. "What are you all doing here?"
Elder Helian was the representative of the elders. He rose to his feet and patted the dust off his knees. He looked at Feng Wu in amazement. "You're still alive!"
Feng Wu was even more perplexed. "Why shouldn't I be?"
Elder Helian said, "I know Mr. Lu won't do anything, but didn't Mr. Xu do anything?" Mr. Lu rarely came out of seclusion. Elder Helian had worked for him for years, but had only met him a few times. Therefore, Elder Helian had always respected Mr. Lu, and more so Mr. Xu.
Why had Imperial College lived under the Military Academy's shadow all these years? It was because of Mr. Xu's suppression. Only someone at Elder Helian's level knew that secret.
Right now, they looked at Feng Wu as if she was God. She was amazing! Feng Wu still had plans. With a wave of her hand, she said, "Let's go!"
"Where?" Elder Helian was bewildered.
"Lucky draw," Feng Wu said succinctly.
Lucky draw? Was she referring to the all-purpose transformation liquid in mine No. 3? Elder Helian looked at Feng Wu in wonder and smiled bitterly. "The general has sealed it off. Even if we go with you, we still won't be able to get in."
Feng Wu asked, "Really?"
Elder Helian said, "Yes. Both Mr. Lu and Mr. Xu are capable cultivators. We need their permission to release the seal. Let's talk to them..."
Feng Wu asked, "Is the general good at inscriptions?"
Elder Helian said, "Yes. He's even better than Elder Yan."
Elder Yan stepped out. He said seriously, "I'm a Level 7 inscription master, and the general is slightly better than me, but I don't think he's reached Level 8 yet."
"That won't be a problem." Feng Wu was already at Level 8. With Master Linghu's Phoenix Pen, she could easily solve a Level 9 inscription. "By the way," Feng Wu asked Elder Helian, "how many people do you think can soak in the all-purpose transformation liquid before it's used up?"
All the elders had done the calculations, including Elder Helian. Elder Helian told Feng Wu, "Not many. My estimate is about a hundred people, but it could be fewer than that."
Feng Wu rubbed her chin. Since the liquid was hers, she felt she should decide how to use it. So what if the Military Academy blamed her for it? By then, the liquid would be used up, and their blame would be useless. It would be like the all-purpose transformation liquid never existed. Anyway, it wasn't their mine.
Feng Wu had prepared a speech for Mr. Xu, and couldn't wait to get started. However, time was of the essence here. She took out a piece of paper and started writing down names. She then handed it to Elder Wu. "Elder Wu, please go to the living quarters and find everybody on this list."
Elder Wu was bewildered when he saw the names, which all belonged to colonels and lieutenant colonels.
"They're all my friends." Feng Wu smiled. "Since we're friends, I must share my good fortune with them. I found the all-purpose transformation liquid. How can I forget my friends?"
All the elders looked at Feng Wu in astonishment.
