All the alchemists present, as well as students who wanted to major in this subject, pricked up their ears and revealed expressions of listening attentively.
Some people even plucked up their courage and took a few steps forward. From the looks of it, they didn't even want to miss the punctuation points that Sun Mo mentioned.
"The Soft Water Alchemy Technique emphasizes on slow work. Hence, it's suitable for refining medicine with a mild nature."
Sun Mo shared his experience.
What was a mild nature?
It meant that the medicinal properties of the medicine were calm and peaceful. Moreover, the chemical reactions during the concoction process were also relatively stable. There wouldn't be any explosive or burning phenomena.
For example, violence-type medicines, blood-stimulating medicines, and medicines that used the fresh blood of animals as raw materials were all considered to have stronger medicinal properties.
"Mn, mn!"
Jiao Wenxue took out a small notebook and happily noted it down.
The Soft Water Tribe was a small tribe and there was a language barrier. Jiao Wenxue was able to obtain this alchemy technique purely by relying on his talent and intelligence, forcefully plagiarizing it.
There was no problem with the general process, but he wasn't clear about some small details.
Actually, even the natives of the Soft Water Tribe wouldn't know these things if they weren't alchemists.
"Anything else?"
Jiao Wenxue's eyes were filled with hope.
"For the Soft Water Technique, it's best not to use metal containers. You should use clay pots or other non-metal cauldrons!"
Sun Mo revealed another little secret.
"Teacher Sun, clay pots can also be used as alchemy cauldrons?"
Someone was astonished and asked.
After he asked, he realized that his words were too abrupt. Hence, he hurriedly apologized, "Sorry, I misspoke."
"Thinking that alchemy cauldrons are made of metal is a misunderstanding. Why is that? Because the current mainstream alchemy methods are all based on metal cauldrons. "
This was the knowledge of Sun Mo's previous self.
"In fact, according to the difference in alchemy techniques, choosing a corresponding alchemy cauldron will increase the success rate!
"Let's talk about the Soft Water Technique again. Its core is to use nature to refine nature. The combination of soil and water will bring out the best in each other. A good clay pot will become a spirit weapon under the tempering of the Soft Water Technique."
Many people started to take notes.
For a time, the small public square was filled with rustling sounds.
"..."
When Cao Xian saw this, his countenance turned even darker. (I'm here to challenge you. Why did it become Sun Mo's live lecture?
And Jiao Wenxue, where's your pride as a 4-star great teacher?
In front of Sun Mo, you act like an obedient student taking notes and humbly accepting his teachings. Don't you feel embarrassed?
Jiao Wenxue felt as though there was a dagger on his back. Even if he used his knees to think, he knew that Cao Xian was definitely unhappy with him. In fact, Jiao Wenxue was also a little embarrassed to seek guidance from a junior.
However, in order to gain knowledge, he could only swallow his anger.
Jiao Wenxue, who was already at a bottleneck, desperately wanted to reach the next level through Water Softness.
"This is my opinion!"
Sun Mo finished speaking.
"Many thanks for sharing your experience, Teacher Sun!"
Jiao Wenxue closed the book, put his palms together solemnly, and bowed.
There is no seniority in learning, only those who have attained it are the priority.
Moreover, Sun Mo was willing to share such a rare alchemy technique. There was nothing to say about his character.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Jiao Wenxue + 100. Friendly (150/1,000).
"Teacher Sun, I'm untalented, but I'm willing to do my best to concoct pills for you three times for free!"
Jiao Wenxue spoke.
Hearing this, many people immediately revealed looks of envy.
This was the promise of a 4-star alchemy grandmaster.
Usually speaking, when alchemists needed help from others or had no money to buy things, they would use this method to borrow money. The more amazing the alchemist, the higher the price they would charge.
Hence, even if it was an alchemy grandmaster who owed a lot of money, he would still be a tycoon that others couldn't imagine.
Because, the most valuable thing they had was their alchemy techniques.
"Teacher Jiao is too polite."
Sun Mo smiled faintly. (Do I need you to concoct pills for me?
No need!
Given my relationship with Mei Ziyu, if I really need alchemy pills, I can just go and beg Mei Yazhi. That rich lady will definitely not reject me.
Moreover, she's a 6-star great teacher and is a quasi-ancestor-level alchemist.)
"What a waste!"
Ying Baiwu felt pain in her heart. Her teacher actually imparted alchemy techniques that even alchemy grandmasters didn't know about. If she sold it, it would surely be worth quite a lot of money.
"Baiwu, things can't be calculated this way."
Li Ziqi consoled.
"In a situation like today, reputation is more important than money. Teacher is so generous and even won the respect of a 4-star great teacher. This is what reputation is. Just look at the attitude of the students and great teachers in the surroundings. They're already filled with admiration."
"Moreover, Teacher even obtained three opportunities to concoct pills. If they were converted into money, it wouldn't be a loss!"
In truth, Sun Mo obtained a huge wave of favorable impression points, reaching over 10,000.
As for the details of the Water Flexibility Technique, it wasn't some peak-grade alchemy technique and there was basically no need to keep it a secret. Even Jiao Wenxue would understand it after studying it for a few years.
For this round, Sun Mo won again and caused the other party to be convinced.
"I feel that Sun Mo alone would be able to crush the Myriad Daos Academy's great teacher circle."
An Xinhui smiled lightly, the pressure in her heart lessening greatly.
Her childhood sweetheart was so impressive.
"I've long since told you that a great killing weapon like Teacher Sun should be released!"
Wang Su laughed.
Alchemy, spirit runes, and weaponsmithing. If the three popular occupations won, the Myriad Daos Academy's future would be miserable.
As long as the Central Province Academy was around, even if Cao Xian was a dragon, he would have to stay obediently.
"Teacher Sun, according to the plan, I still had to compete in alchemy with the great teachers of your esteemed school. However, Teacher Sun wasn't stingy with his guidance and enlightened me. I no longer have the qualifications to challenge them."
After Jiao Wenxue spoke, he returned to Cao Xian's side and had an apologetic look on his face. "I'm sorry, Headmaster. I wasn't able to complete your mission."
"Teacher Jiao's words are too serious. I wish you another breakthrough on the path of alchemy!"
Cao Xian was so angry that he wanted to die. However, as the headmaster of a school, he still had to say some polite words. Moreover, even if he was unhappy, what could he do?
Deduct Jiao Wenxue's research funds?
Stop joking.
Jiao Wenxue was a 4-star alchemy grandmaster. Even if you deducted his research funds today, he would be able to report to the Central Province Academy tomorrow.
"Do you think it's easy for me to be a headmaster?!"
Cao Xian wanted to cry. (I'm already so busy that I don't even have time to go to the Yichun Courtyard. Even if I went to find a courtesan to drink with, I wouldn't be able to get any better.)
(It's all Sun Mo's fault!)
At the thought of this, Cao Xian felt heartache. (Why didn't I be more ruthless and pay ten times the price when I headhunted Sun Mo back then?)
Once the matter was settled, it would be An Xinhui's turn to kneel before him and say that she had conquered him.
"I regret it so much!"
Cao Xian felt depressed, but the challenge had to continue.
"Teacher Liu, I'll have to trouble you this time around."
Cao Xian pleaded to a middle-aged man. After that, he glanced at An Xinhui and Wang Su and discovered that their expressions had turned heavy. He couldn't help but feel complacent in his heart.
(I'll let you guys know what it means by 'ginger is spicier with age'. I've prepared a backup plan.)
"I'm Liu Yushan, and I'm willing to compete with the great teachers of your esteemed school in alchemy!"
Liu Yushan, who was dressed in gray robes, walked out. From his appearance, he seemed to be in his forties. His face was skinny and his eyes were swollen. However, his expression was filled with arrogance.
He was Li Zixing's personal alchemist.
Sun Mo activated Divine Sight and took a look. After that, he was shocked because there was a line of red words warning him. Liu Yushan, an alchemy grandmaster. He was especially proficient in alchemy, and no one in the Central Province Academy could compare to him.
"Let me do it!"
Dai Shuling stood out. Earlier, she had failed in the alchemy appraisal, causing her to feel stifled. Now, she wanted to get back at Sun Mo. "Let's go to the alchemy room!"
Dai Shuling couldn't wait any longer.
"Hehe!"
Liu Yushan flicked his sleeves and placed his right hand behind his back, exuding the demeanor of a famous expert as he followed behind Dai Shuling. However, he hadn't taken a few steps when Wang Su spoke up.
"You are Azure Dragon Hands, Liu Yushan, right?"
Wang Su stared at Liu Yushan's sleeves. When he heard this name, he felt that it sounded a little familiar. When he saw Liu Yushan flinging his sleeves and revealing a red-skinned right hand, he instantly recalled it.
"Oh? I didn't expect that there would still be people who remembered my name after 20 years? "
Liu Yushan was surprised.
"Teacher Wang, what is the Azure Dragon Hands?"
Gu Xiuxun asked.
"In the era when I first became a great teacher, there was a genius alchemist who relied on the Azure Dragon Alchemy Technique to challenge the alchemists of over a hundred schools. He was in the limelight for a period of time and was known as a rising star in the alchemy world. However, a year later, he vanished without a trace."
Wang Su was astonished. He surveyed Liu Yushan. "I didn't expect to see your true appearance today!"
"Haha!"
Liu Yushan smiled faintly. He had no interest in being a teacher. He only wanted to study alchemy and concoct the Elixir of Immortality. For the past three years, due to certain reasons, he went to Li Zixing's residence and became his personal alchemist.
This time around, Li Zixing had sent Liu Yushan out to suppress the Central Province Academy. Otherwise, no one would know of his movements.
"I don't care if he is the Azure Dragon Hands or the Azure Snake Hands. Alchemists speak with their alchemy!"
Dai Shuling's battle intent surged. "Please!"
"What alchemy should we concoct? You choose!"
Liu Yushan didn't place Dai Shuling in his eyes at all.
"In that case, let's not make everyone wait for too long. Let's concoct the Marrow Cleansing Pill. The time limit is four hours. Whoever concocts the pill with the higher grade will win. How about it?"
Dai Shuling suggested.
As the name suggested, the Marrow Cleansing Pill cleansed the marrow and cleansed the impurities in the human body. It was a relatively practical pill.
It had a very good effect on cultivators below the blood-ignition realm.
There were as many Marrow Cleansing Pills as there were hairs on a cow, but peak-grade Marrow Cleansing Pills were extremely rare. Hence, such pills were very profitable.
If a powerful alchemist lacked money, they could concoct a few cauldrons of Marrow Cleansing Pills and earn a sum of money.
This was also one of the reasons why alchemists were said to have no lack of money. As long as one's skills were there, money would be there.
"Agreed!"
Liu Yushan agreed and left with Dai Shuling. A group of great teachers and students followed behind, watching and supervising.
"I'm afraid that we will lose more than we win this round!"
Wang Su's face was filled with worry. For a person like Liu Yushan who didn't want to be a teacher and spent all his time studying alchemy, his standard would definitely not be bad.
"Let's go all out!"
An Xinhui drew in a deep breath and sneaked a glance at Sun Mo. Even if they lost this round, it would be a draw in alchemy.
"Alright, we have four hours. Since we are idle, shall we continue with the next round?"
Cao Xian invited.
