 Following the issuance of Lu Yun’s appointment as the first headmaster of the "Capital City Pharmacist Academy," a simple yet grand ceremony was held on the same island where Shitou resided.
 The ceremony was considered simple due to the limited number of attendees, yet grand because almost all the country’s top leaders and key figures from relevant departments were present.
 It was only after the ceremony that Lu Yun learned she had also been elected as an academician, and would henceforth enjoy a national stipend.
 This left Lu Yun feeling both honored and startled, while also suddenly realizing the weight of responsibility on her shoulders had become much heavier.
 She decided that since she had become the first headmaster of the "Capital City Pharmacist Academy," she should be even more diligent and responsible.
 Considering that interstellar pharmacists generally lacked physical fitness, she decided to add a daily physical training course to the curriculum, which would be required for both official students and auditors alike.
 The difference was that those official students between eight and ten years old, with extremely high Psychic Power Talent, not only had their miscellaneous fees waived from the moment they enrolled but also received subsidies.
 Compared to them, the treatment for auditing students was not as favorable. Since they weren’t official students, they didn’t receive any subsidies and had to pay substantial tuition fees.
 However, their post-graduation prospects varied greatly. Official students did not have the freedom to choose where to work or not to work after graduation, as they must absolutely comply with assignments.
 Audit students, on the other hand, were not forced into arrangements and had much more freedom of choice. Those who managed to enroll despite not meeting the talent recruitment standards often had powerful and unignorable backgrounds, with as many as three students having the shadows of the Lu Group behind them.

 </div> Before enrolling, they had signed an agreement that should they excel in their studies, they must serve the Herbal Research Institute headed by Lu Yun for a period of ten years after graduation.
 This service would naturally come with a salary.
 If after ten years they were still willing to sign a new contract with the institute, not only would they receive a full refund of their past tuition fees, but they could also claim the subsidies provided during that period, just like the official students.
 "The fact that official students must absolutely comply with arrangements and that there is no time limit set for this, do you think this could cause backlash in the future?" Lu Yun asked Shitou with a hint of worry after returning home.
 "Backlash? If there’s any backlash, they can choose not to study. Otherwise, what’s the point of the country investing so much effort and paying such a price to train people, only to let them leave after learning?" Shitou asked in return, seeing absolutely nothing wrong with this regulation.
 Lu Yun thought about it and realized that the principle was actually the same as those major interstellar families who invest a lot of effort in training pharmacists, who must ultimately serve their respective families. She thus swallowed the words "Do you know the status of a pharmacist in the interstellar community?"
𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎 All gains come at a cost; why else would someone train you and give you the opportunity to grow? It’s a win-win situation.
 Having understood this, Lu Yun no longer dwelled on the issue, though she still couldn’t help but sigh, "It’s a pity Pei Yi and Pei Xin have the talent, but neither of them has any interest in pursuing a career as pharmacists."
 "Respecting the children’s own choices is more important. If they lack the interest to drive them, even if we force it on them, their achievements are doomed not to reach very high," Shitou replied, not in a hurry.
 He wasn’t concerned; even if Pei Yi and Pei Xin weren’t interested in becoming pharmacists, it didn’t necessarily mean that his and Lu Yun’s future children or Pei Kun’s future children wouldn’t be interested either.
 Even if this generation doesn’t succeed, Lu Yun has already developed the Gene Elixir decades ahead of schedule, offering future generations more choices...
 With such a long future, it is truly too early to worry about this now.
 "We’ll still have children, and our children will have children... In a few decades, our choices will only become more numerous," Shitou said in a leisurely manner.
 "So the search for new habitable planets has become even more urgent. If it goes on like this, our planet really won’t be able to support the rapidly expanding population soon," Lu Yun began to worry about the world she had changed.
 "Don’t worry. There are people specifically in charge of this, and everything is under control," Shitou said with a confident smile.
 Lu Yun looked at him, nodded, and didn’t continue to ask further.
 A teacher’s duty is to impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts.
 As days passed by, Lu Yun felt a sense of accomplishment watching most people progress from knowing nothing about elixirs to being able to craft simple ones. Gradually, she became more devoted to the work of imparting knowledge, teaching skills, and resolving doubts.
 However, since her own children were not interested in this field, she had no plans to take on disciples before her own Pharmacist level improved, even though there were three individuals backed by the Lu Group; she did not make an exception for them. She did, though, give them some extra attention.
 One day, Lu Yun returned from the underwater school to the land. As soon as she entered the house, Shitou shared two pieces of good news with her, "Today, grandma called to say your sister-in-law is pregnant again and was about to ask you for some elixirs suitable for pregnant women. Coincidentally, news also came from your aunt that Gu Meng’s wife is also pregnant."
 "Such a coincidence? Then I’ll quickly prepare two sets of elixirs and send them directly to the Capital City. Gu Meng’s can be delivered by mom and dad," Lu Yun said, surprised, then looked at Shitou and smiled, "It’s also a good chance to bring them another piece of news."
 "What news?" Shitou asked, puzzled. "Is there something I don’t know about?"
 "Yes." Lu Yun tried to suppress her laughter, looked at Shitou with a serious face, and said in a rare earnest tone, "Comrade Pei Xuan, I have to inform you that it looks like you’re about to become a father again."
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> Strange things happen every year, but this year they were particularly numerous. Was it now fashionable to get pregnant all at once?
 That was the only thought that leapt to Shitou’s mind, and then he just froze, staring blankly at Lu Yun, completely forgetting to react in any other way.
 Haha.
 Lu Yun looked down, sneaking a chuckle, then quietly deployed a small recording device, making sure to capture Shitou’s bewildered look in its entirety. Only then did she reach out to touch him, "Hey, haven’t you really turned silly?"
 "Xiaoyun, is this true? Am I not dreaming?"
 Shitou suddenly came back to his senses, engulfed in overwhelming joy. He swept up Lu Yun in his arms and tenderly touched her belly.
 "See for yourself."
 Lu Yun smiled mysteriously and took Shitou’s hand, allowing his spiritual power to slowly probe into her abdomen.
 "Am I seeing this right? Triplets?" After confirming again with his spiritual power, Shitou withdrew his spiritual power, stared at Lu Yun with a face flushed with excitement, as if he were drunk.
 "How convenient, one birth and then there’s no need for more."</div>
