Jiang Donghua put away Crimson Heart Profound Spirit Fruit and the fourth-order Magic Core. In a flash, he swept down the mountain stream like a ghost and did not choose to return the same way.
Instead, he jumped down the steep mountain wall, tapped the rock crack with his toes, and after a few ups and downs, he landed firmly on the branch of an ancient pine tree.
In the distance, there were faint sounds of noisy people and the roars of monsters.
"Quick! There's a second-order Wind Blade Wolf over there!"
"Haha, I really got a big deal today!"
Jiang Donghua raised his eyebrows slightly and scanned the forest below.
I saw a dozen students wearing Jia Nan Academy uniforms excitedly hunting low-level monsters that were escaping in all directions. Some of them were even carrying trophies, their faces full of ecstasy.
"Tsk, tsk, these guys are good at picking things up."
He shook his head and chuckled, and with a sway of his body, he walked quietly through the shadows of the forest.
With his Battle Spirit level other strength, coupled with the increase brought by Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Technique, it is easy to avoid the sight of these Outer Court students.
"Hey, what on earth was going on with that noise just now?"
A student holding a spear asked excitedly while tying up an injured Ironback Mountain Boar.
"It must be two Battle Spirit level other monsters fighting! Otherwise, how could it possibly make the whole mountain tremble?"
Another person said firmly.
"Perhaps one of the senior brothers and sisters from the Inner Academy is hunting high-level monsters!"
Some people speculate.
"Oh, people from the Inner Academy would come to a place like this?"
Someone laughed.
"I think it's just the Warcraft fighting among themselves. We are lucky today!"
Jiang Donghua Listening to their discussion, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a trace of amusement flashed in his eyes.
"War among the monsters? Haha, that's not wrong."
He secretly laughed in his heart, after all, he had just fought a beast to pieces.
However, he was not interested in showing up to explain.
These Outer Court students could never imagine that one of the protagonists of the battle just now was passing silently over their heads at this moment.
"Forget it, let's go back to the Alchemy Department."
Jiang Donghua stretched out and disappeared completely into the dense forest in a flash.
As soon as Jiang Donghua stepped into the gate of the Alchemy Department, several students at the door straightened their backs and shouted respectfully.
"Senior Brother Jiang Good!"
He waved his hand casually, with a faint smile on his face, and continued walking inside.
In the hall of the Alchemy Department, many students were reading the pharmacopoeia and discussing prescriptions. When they saw him coming in, they all stopped what they were doing and nodded in greeting.
"Senior Brother Jiang!"
"Senior brother, you look good today!"
Jiang Donghua nodded slightly in response.
Although he was not indifferent on weekdays, he rarely took the initiative to talk to these low-level alchemists, so everyone saw that he was in a good mood today and became bolder.
A bolder young man stepped forward and asked with a smile.
"Senior brother, I heard that the First-grade Alchemist exam for alchemy apprentices will be held in two days. Do you know the questions for this exam?"
Jiang Donghua paused in his steps, raised his eyebrows slightly, and a trace of astonishment appeared on his face.
"Assessment questions?"
He blinked and then laughed.
"How do I know? I'm not the elder who came up with the question."
The young man scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, but he still didn't give up and continued to ask.
"Senior brother, do you think we will be taking the Qi Pill test this time? Or will it be the Blood Recovery Powder?"
Jiang Donghua shook his head helplessly and patted his shoulder.
"Instead of asking about the questions here, it is better to practice the basic techniques a few more times. The First-grade Alchemist assessment will test the basic skills."
After saying that, he stopped staying and walked straight towards his alchemy room, leaving only a group of students looking at each other.
"Oh, I really can't ask anything."
"Senior Brother Jiang is right, you should practice honestly."
Jiang Donghua listened to the discussion behind him, the corner of his mouth raised slightly.
"These little guys are quite good at taking advantage of loopholes."
However, he didn't take it to heart.
"First-grade Alchemist assessment? Hehe, I could pass it with my eyes closed back then."
He pushed open the door, stepped into his alchemy room, and closed the door, blocking out the hustle and bustle outside.
"Now, it's time to deal with today's spoils."
Jiang Donghua was thinking about how to maximize the use of Crimson Heart Profound Spirit Fruit and the fourth-level Magic Core. The door of the alchemy room was suddenly pushed open, and a familiar figure walked in.
"Hey, brat, what a harvest today?"
Jiang Donghua's eyelids twitched, and he looked up to see his master, Alchemy Department, one of the ten elders, Mo Xuan, squinting his eyes and staring straight at Crimson Heart Profound Spirit Fruit on the table, with a meaningful smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
"Master, why do you have time to come to my place?"
Jiang Donghua laughed dryly and subconsciously stretched out his hand to gather the spirit fruit towards himself.
Elder Mo Xuan, with quick eyes and quick hands, held down his wrist and said with a smile.
"Why, my master can't come and see his apprentice?"
Jiang Donghua cursed inwardly.
"Old Fox".
But he had to pretend to be respectful on his face.
"How can you? Master, you can come at any time. All disciples welcome you."
Elder Mo Xuan nodded with satisfaction, but his eyes never left the Crimson Heart Profound Spirit Fruit, and he was amazed.
"This fruit looks good. Fire attribute is rich in energy. It must have been in the 1970s or 80s at least. Where did you get it?"
Jiang Donghua knew that he couldn't hide it, so he simply shrugged and said.
"Picked from Mountain Coiling Rock Python's lair in the back mountain."
Elder Mo Xuan raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.
"Mountain Coiling Rock Python? That's a peak level four monster. How can you actually snatch food from a tiger's mouth?"
Jiang Donghua chuckled and said slightly proudly.
"It's not too difficult, it just takes a little effort."
Elder Mo Xuan stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly reached out and patted his shoulder, with a look of relief on his face.
"Not bad, not bad, you are worthy of being my apprentice!"
Before Jiang Donghua had time to be happy, he heard Elder Mo Xuan change the subject.
"But, although this Crimson Heart Profound Spirit Fruit is precious, it would be too wasteful to take it directly. It would be better to let the master practice some Fifth-grade Pill, which will be more effective."
Jiang Donghua The corners of his mouth twitched, and alarm bells rang in his heart. This old man really had no good intentions!
"Master, I just want to practice alchemy recently, why don't you let me try it myself?"
Jiang Donghua asked tentatively.
Elder Mo Xuan stroked his beard and shook his head pretending to be serious.
"No, no, this spiritual fruit is rare. What a pity if it breaks after refining it? Let me do it as a teacher!"
Jiang Donghua cursed in his heart, but he still had to force a smile on his face.
"Master, how much do you plan to charge for hard work?"
Elder Mo Xuan's eyes lit up and he laughed.
"You bastard, you're such a stranger to your master? Don't worry, I won't give you anything!"
"Nothing at all?!"
Jiang Donghua almost jumped.
"Master, this is robbery!"
Mo Xuan also said in a bad temper.
"How can refining an elixir be 100% sure of success?"
"You will get points only if you successfully refine it. Besides, you can come to Dou Wang anytime to eat it!"
"This old man really tricked me again!"
Looking at Elder Mo Xuan's retreating back, Jiang Donghua sighed helplessly, but he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Forget it, who made him my master?"
