Li Ziqi had underestimated the moral integrity of a 5-star great teacher. Fan Wenbin wasn't convinced, but in a great teacher group battle, a loss was a loss. If he found an excuse to fight again, it would mean that he had lost both face and face.
"Teacher Sun, it's your skills that are a notch higher. I'm impressed!"
After Fan Wenbin spoke, he clasped his fists toward Cao Xian and left. He no longer had the face to stay behind.
Cao Xian's countenance was quite unsightly. In his eyes, this was a sure-win situation and he could even suppress Sun Mo. It was a win-win situation, but in the end, he failed.
"Damn!"
Cao Xian turned his head and glanced at his great teacher circle. There were some great teachers who also studied spirit runes, but in terms of standard...
(Forget it, it's fine to deal with ordinary people, but against Sun Mo?)
It would be free.
Even Fu Hong also turned his head away when Cao Xian's gaze swept over. There was no solution to it, he really couldn't win against Sun Mo.
If they continued to compete, it would only be more embarrassing.
Sun Mo didn't act overbearingly and returned to the group.
"Awesome!"
An Xinhui praised in a low voice. She couldn't help but stretch out her hand and secretly tug on Sun Mo's finger.
Right now, it was one to one, and Sun Mo had an overwhelming advantage, winning against a 5-star great teacher and a 3-star great teacher. This battle result was absolutely shocking.
Wang Su also nodded approvingly.
Ding!
"Congratulations, you've obtained a total of 15909 favorable impression points. Please continue to work hard."
Sun Mo's expression was calm like an ancient well, as though he had done something insignificant. However, he felt extremely happy in his heart. If he continued to farm for a few more days, he would be able to clear the favorable impression points he owed.
Helian Beifang stood in the crowd and scratched his head with a dumbfounded look on his face. What had happened earlier?
He didn't understand at all.
He wanted someone to explain, but from the other party's expression, it was clear that they despised him. Hence, he didn't dare to ask.
Qin Yaoguang took out a bag of pearflower candies from her pocket and ate them while watching the show.
"Headmaster Cao, what should we compete in next? Just bring it on! "
Right now, An Xinhui's confidence was greatly boosted.
Cao Xian took in a deep breath and calmed his agitated emotions. He then spoke in a clear voice, "Since ancient times, alchemy, weaponsmithing, and spirit runes are the three most popular subjects. My Myriad Daos Academy is untalented, but I'm willing to seek guidance from your esteemed school on the path of alchemy."
Following Cao Xian's words, a balding middle-aged man stepped forward.
"His name is Jiao Wenxue, a 4-star great teacher. He's one of the three great alchemists of the Myriad Daos Academy and is at the grandmaster-grade."
Gu Xiuxun explained softly.
"The natives of the Nine States are all cultivators, but they can also go bald?"
Sun Mo was astonished, feeling a little worried that his middle-aged self would give birth. As the saying went, men had two greatest fears. The first was being unable to get up, and the second was being bald.
Once he went bald, even a perfect face would be reduced to zero.
Other than those who sold tea leaves on WeChat, which girl would be willing to talk to him?
"Who's going to debate with me?"
Jiao Wenxue asked, his gaze filled with pride. He had a condescending attitude as he surveyed the great teachers behind An Xinhui.
Putting aside the fact that he was an Alchemy Master, just this occupation alone was enough to give him confidence.
Although there was no distinction between professions, the professions that earned the most money and had the highest social status would always attract many envious and jealous gazes.
This was the case for alchemists.
Even before Sun Mo's arrival, his previous self had studied alchemy. One could say that if he smashed a brick against ten people, nine of them would be alchemists, and the remaining one would be preparing to learn alchemy.
Looking at the scene again, many students were agitated and squeezed forward. Even if they couldn't learn anything, it wouldn't be bad to accumulate some experience.
No one moved. After all, Jiao Wenxue's name was still very intimidating.
"Teacher Dai, I'll have to trouble you."
An Xinhui called out.
"Alright!"
A middle-aged woman walked out. Her name was Dai Shuling, and she was a 4-star great teacher who majored in alchemy. "Teacher Jiao, please head to the alchemy room!"
Pill Discrimination was when one person was refining the pill while the other person observed. After that, they would analyze the technique and explain the pros and cons. To put it bluntly, it was a test of the alchemist's familiarity with the selection of medicinal ingredients and the entire alchemy process.
"There's no need for that. I've learned a new alchemy technique that doesn't require an alchemy room to refine pills."
As Jiao Wenxue spoke, he took out a copper cauldron that was the size of a pumpkin from his wide sleeves. "Please check the medicinal ingredients!"
Dai Shuling swung her right hand and a formless force was unleashed. The lid of the copper cauldron floated up, revealing the numerous medicinal ingredients inside.
"No problem!"
Dai Shuling's expression was solemn. She didn't know what Jiao Wenxue was trying to do.
"Then I'll start."
After Jiao Wenxue spoke, he started to mumble something. A few minutes later, water droplets that were the size of grains of rice appeared in the air, growing to the size of grapes.
"Fuse!"
Jiao Wenxue called out in a low voice.
Huala! Huala!
Those water droplets gathered and fused into a large ball. After that, as Jiao Wenxue pointed out with his right hand, it was like a waterfall that flowed into the copper cauldron.
"Refine!"
Jiao Wenxue held the cauldron with one hand while his other hand was beside the copper cauldron, making all sorts of postures. Occasionally, there would be round balls that were condensed from spirit qi shooting into the copper cauldron.
The entire place fell silent. Everyone was watching with rapt attention.
Sun Mo didn't cultivate alchemy, so he activated Divine Sight to analyze it. Otherwise, without the data, he wouldn't be able to understand it at all.
Dai Shuling's countenance grew increasingly solemn.
Because she couldn't understand it.
30 minutes later, Jiao Wenxue suddenly slapped the copper cauldron.
BOOM!
The lid popped up vertically and white steam gushed out, spraying out in all directions. Jiao Wenxue bent his finger and flicked the copper cauldron.
Ding!
A crisp sound rang out and a white alchemy pill the size of a walnut popped out. He grabbed it in his hand.
Dang!
The lid fell down and closed.
"Please correct it!"
Jiao Wenxue passed the alchemy pill to Dai Shuling.
A sweet fragrance drifted in the air, causing one to feel refreshed when they smelled it.
Dai Shuling didn't take it. Her expression was extremely unsightly. After struggling for a while, she lowered her head and cupped her fists. "I'm ashamed, I don't know this alchemy technique and have no way to differentiate the pills."
Hua!
A commotion rang out.
This was especially so for the students of the Central Province Academy. They were so anxious that their eyebrows were on fire. Dai Shuling was one of the top three alchemists in the school. If even she couldn't understand it, how could they win?
Cao Xian revealed a smile. This round was already in the bag.
"What a good opportunistic move!"
Tantai Yutang was filled with disdain.
"What do you mean?"
Lu Zhiruo didn't understand.
"This alchemy technique of his is a little rare. I wonder where he found it from."
Tantai Yutang's main focus was medicine and naturally couldn't be separated from alchemy. Hence, he had researched it.
There were many kinds of alchemy techniques, but after so many years, there were less than ten that were commonly used.
Why was that?
Because they were the most efficient and cost-effective alchemy techniques. Basically, they could save materials, save time, and the difficulty of mastering them wasn't high.
"However, this is allowed for alchemy. If Teacher Dai can't recognize it, she can only blame herself for being inexperienced."
Li Ziqi sighed.
Being knowledgeable was also a kind of ability.
It was like during an exam, if there was an extremely obscure question and you couldn't answer it, wouldn't you say that you couldn't be included in the total score?
"The others can also participate in alchemy!"
Jiao Wenxue looked at everyone.
It wasn't that he was intentionally provoking and making things difficult for everyone. Rather, he really wanted to know if anyone had seen this alchemy technique before. After all, this was something he had discovered himself, and he didn't know if there were any flaws.
No one replied.
"Haha, in that case, we've won this round?"
Cao Xian was very happy. Very good, two against one. Just when he was preparing to start the fourth round, someone spoke up.
"Wait a minute!"
Sun Mo took a step forward, stepping out from the crowd.
"Oh? Does Teacher Sun have anything to say? "
Jiao Wenxue asked with a friendly attitude. Even if Sun Mo wasn't an alchemist, he was a spirit rune grandmaster. At this level, no matter what subject he specialized in, he was worthy of respect.
"Oh? Teacher Sun has some knowledge in alchemy as well? "
Cao Xian glanced at An Xinhui and the others, feeling at ease. It was because they were also stunned by Sun Mo's interruption.
This meant that they also didn't know that Sun Mo knew alchemy.
"Is the Rou Water Tribe still alive?"
Sun Mo asked.
The others didn't know what Sun Mo was talking about, but Jiao Wenxue's body trembled as he revealed a look of disbelief.
"You've been to the Rou Water Tribe before?"
Jiao Wenxue asked. This alchemy technique was something he had found by chance in a tribe deep in the mountains when he was training in the Darkness Continent.
"No, I've only read about it in books. I heard that the men in that tribe are very beautiful, but the women are even more beautiful!"
Sun Mo had seen all these things through Divine Sight.
"Yes, that's a tribe where even the men would cause one's heart to flutter!"
Upon thinking of the experience back then, Jiao Wenxue felt a chill down his spine. Back then, when he was facing a man, he almost couldn't control himself.
"Damn, you can't really know alchemy, right?"
Cao Xian felt a little panicky. (Also, Jiao Wenxue, what the hell are you chatting about? Quickly come up with a question and rebuke him to death!)
"The commonly used alchemy techniques all use flames to refine pills at high temperatures. However, this alchemy technique does the opposite, using water to refine pills. It's also known as the Water Gentleness Art."
Sun Mo introduced, "It makes use of the flow of water to wash away the impurities and unneeded ingredients in the herbs. After that, it uses the water as a medium to fuse the ingredients of the various herbs into a pill.
"The better the quality of the water, the better the quality of the alchemy pill."
Jiao Wenxue nodded. "That's right."
"The Water Gentleness Art emphasizes on the word 'slow'. It forms a cycle with the flow of water. Hence, although Teacher Jiao's alchemy pill has taken form, it's a failed product in terms of the Water Gentleness Art."
Sun Mo looked toward Jiao Wenxue.
"Naturally, Teacher Jiao might be worried that everyone would be anxious and hence, he intentionally refined it in this manner."
"So, the core of the Water Gentleness Art is the word 'slow'!"
Jiao Wenxue was suddenly enlightened. It was no wonder that when he used the Water Gentleness Art to refine pills, the success rate was too low, or the effect of the alchemy pill was too low.
In the end, this was the problem.
"Teacher Jiao!"
Cao Xian reminded him. (What the hell is with this expression of having received guidance and all the doubts in your heart? Are you afraid that others won't know that Sun Mo's answer is correct?
So what if you pretend to be calm?)
One couldn't blame Cao Xian for being anxious. From the looks of it, he was going to lose again!
However, Jiao Wenxue ignored Cao Xian. He clasped his fists toward Sun Mo, his gaze filled with anticipation. "Do you have any more points?"
"Teacher actually knows alchemy? Why didn't I know about this? "
Lu Zhiruo was too shocked and forgot to eat her melon.
