Jiang Donghua looked at the direction Hong Ling was leaving, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly. Naturally, he could sense that the attack by this woman just now seemed fierce, but in fact she was holding back.
"If Nine-Star Battle Spirit really attacks with all his strength, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch even ten moves. The main reason is that Lightning Attribute Dou Qi's attack is too fierce!"
He whispered to himself and shook his head.
"Forget it, go back to the Alchemy Department."
He turned and left the arena, his figure gradually disappearing down the paths of the academy.
On the other side, Hong Ling has already run far away.
She leaned under an old tree, her fingertips unconsciously twirling her hair, her eyes wandering, and she felt inexplicably irritable.
"When did this kid become so capable?"
She bit her red lips, feeling both relieved and depressed.
"I used to tease him casually, and he would blush and dodge, but now he dares to tease me back!"
Thinking of this, the tips of her ears felt slightly warm and she couldn't help but stamp her feet.
"Damn it! If he really uses all his strength, he will definitely not be able to bear it!"
she muttered.
"But if I get injured, wouldn't I be the one who feels bad?"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she couldn't help laughing.
"But his skills have indeed improved a lot. Maybe you can take him to Soul Severing Abyss to try?"
She narrowed her eyes, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.
But soon, she shook her head again.
"No, that place is too dangerous. What if he can't bear it?"
She sighed, feeling confused.
"Forget it, wait a little longer, you have to think about it!"
She raised her head and looked in the direction of the Alchemy Department, with a slight smile on her lips.
"Jiang Donghua Don't keep me waiting too long."
Jiang Donghua left the arena. He originally planned to go back to the Alchemy Department to continue researching the new prescription, but as he walked, his steps slowed down involuntarily.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Liu Mingyu and Liu Yuting for a long time."
He frowned slightly, feeling a trace of nostalgia in his heart.
These brothers and sisters are old friends he met when he first joined Jia Nan Academy. Although they were born in Yellow-tier class and their talents are not top-notch, they are sincere people and helped him a lot when he first joined Jia Nan Academy.
But later on, he focused on refining medicine and practicing cultivation, and gradually lost contact with him.
"There's no rush anyway, why not go see them."
He turned around and walked towards Yellow-tier class's training area.
The training area of Yellow-tier class is much livelier than that of the Alchemy Department. Students gather in groups of twos and threes to compete or discuss exercises.
The appearance of Jiang Donghua made the originally noisy venue instantly quieter.
"Then, isn't that Jiang Donghua?!"
"It's really him! Fourth-grade Alchemist!"
"Oh my god, why did he come to us Yellow-tier class?"
The whispers continued, and many students' eyes widened with shock on their faces.
After all, Fourth-grade Alchemist is a rare existence among the Inner Academy, not to mention that Jiang Donghua is still so young!
Jiang Donghua didn't pay attention to these looks, walked straight to a student who looked more stable, and asked.
"Excuse me, are Liu Mingyu and Liu Yuting here?"
The student was stunned for a moment, then replied flattered.
"Jiang, Senior Brother Jiang! The brother and sister took over the academy mission and left three days ago. It will probably take a few days before they come back."
Jiang Donghua nodded and was about to leave, but saw that many people had gathered around him. They all had eager eyes and hesitated to speak.
"Senior Brother Jiang! I have long admired your name! I am Zhang Hao from Class 3 of Yellow Tier. I am particularly interested in alchemy!"
"Master Jiang! Can you please tell me, Fire-attribute Battle Qi, how to avoid meridians being burned when practicing?"
"Senior Brother Jiang! I have a Crimson Flame Flower plant here. I wonder if you can take it?"
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Donghua was surrounded by enthusiastic crowds, and there were endless compliments.
He frowned slightly. Although he was used to being sought after by others, he still felt a little irritated at the moment.
Especially the utilitarian look in these people's eyes made him feel alienated.
"Sorry, I won't accept medicinal materials for the time being."
He spoke calmly, not loudly, but it made the surrounding area quiet instantly.
Everyone looked at each other, a little embarrassed, but some still refused to give up and said with a smile.
"Senior Brother Jiang, it's rare for you to come here, why don't you give us some advice?"
Jiang Donghua glanced at them and wanted to leave directly, but looking at the longing in these students' eyes, he finally sighed.
"There are no shortcuts to cultivation."
His tone was calm.
"If you really want to become stronger, you should be less impetuous and go to Trial Tower to practice more."
After saying that, he said no more and turned to leave.
Walking out of the Yellow-tier class area, Jiang Donghua shook his head slightly.
"These people are so far behind Liu siblings."
As soon as Jiang Donghua's figure disappeared around the corner, Yellow-tier class's training area instantly exploded.
"Oh my god! Master Jiang actually came to see Liu Mingyu and Liu Yuting in person!"
A tall and thin student's eyes widened, and his voice changed with excitement.
"Let me just say that these two brothers and sisters are not simple! I have heard rumors before that they have a relationship with the genius Alchemy Department, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
A round-faced female student next to her patted her thigh, her face full of pride.
"Tsk, luckily I don't provoke them usually!"
A male student who had had a minor friction with Liu Mingyu wiped away cold sweat and secretly rejoiced.
Several students who usually ignored Liu siblings's answers were now filled with regret.
"If I had known better, I should have gotten closer to them more often!"
A veteran student of Yellow-tier class beat his chest and beat his feet.
"If you can catch up with Master Jiang through them and get a few pills, your cultivation speed will not be doubled?"
"It's not too late!"
The other person rolled his eyes and lowered his voice.
"When they come back from their mission, if we have a better attitude, maybe we can get some benefits."
"Yes, yes! I remember that Liu Yuting likes Spirit Herb Atlas, and I happen to have a copy there!"
Everyone was talking a lot and had already begun to think about how to please Liu siblings.
Of course, there are also people who feel sour and can't help but feel weird.
"Huh, don't you just know an alchemist? What's so great about it?"
A student with a sinister face snorted coldly.
"Then no matter how powerful Jiang Donghua is, can he still control our Yellow-tier class?"
"That's right!"
The people next to me echoed.
"Liu Mingyu's strength is inferior to Yellow-tier class's. Why!"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by others.
"Come on! Why are you so embarrassed? If you have the ability, go and meet Fourth-grade Alchemist!"
"You!"
Seeing that the dispute was about to escalate, an older student stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Okay, okay, just stop saying a few words! Since Master Jiang came to see them in person, it shows that we have a good friendship. Let's be polite to Liu siblings in the future, there is no harm in it."
Everyone then shut up angrily, but their eyes flickered uncertainly.
Jiang Donghua returned to the Alchemy Department and walked straight to his exclusive secret room.
Pushing open the heavy stone door, a faint medicinal fragrance hit my face.
The light in the secret room is soft, and the surrounding bookshelves are filled with various ancient books and scrolls. In the center is an earthy yellow medicinal cauldron, with several unprocessed elixirs scattered beside it.
He waved his hand casually, and the stone door slowly closed behind him, cutting off all the noise from the outside world.
