Jiang Donghua rummaged through Storage Ring for a moment, raised his fingertips slightly, and a jade slip with a light blue halo appeared in the palm of his hand.
He tossed it to Liu Yuting casually, his tone was still calm, but there was a hint of undoubted meaning.
"Frost Heart Art, Mysterious-grade Low-tier, you practice first."
Liu Yuting hurriedly caught it. The jade slip was cold in the hand, and there was a faint cold air flowing around it. It was obviously an ice-based technique.
She was shocked. Even if the Xuanjie Kung Fu was placed in the entire Outer Court, it was a rarity. Ordinary students could not access it at all, but Jiang Donghua gave it to her casually?
"Brother Jiang, this is too expensive!"
She hesitated.
Jiang Donghua glanced at her and said calmly.
"It's just Mysterious-grade Low-tier. When your cultivation level improves, you can change it to a better ice attribute technique."
Liu Mingyu on the side widened his eyes and couldn't help but come over, stared at the jade slip and swallowed his saliva.
"Brother Jiang, are you too generous with your actions? Are you giving away the Xuanjie Kung Fu as soon as you say so?"
Jiang Donghua The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, showing a rare hint of pride.
"Don't worry, if you two brothers and sisters encounter any trouble in Outer Court in the future, just come to me."
He paused, with a hint of unquestionable confidence in his tone.
"Outer Court, there is nothing I can't settle."
Liu Mingyu was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and said with wide eyes.
"Wait a minute, Brother Jiang, did you just say Outer Court?"
Jiang Donghua did not answer directly, but lightly flicked his sleeves, and a wisp of blue flame jumped at his fingertips, reflecting his deep eyes.
"Fourth-grade Alchemist, in Outer Court, you still have some say."
Liu Yuting also solemnly grasped the jade slip and bowed deeply.
"Thank you Brother Jiang for your cultivation, Yuting will definitely live up to your expectations!"
Jiang Donghua waved his hand, as if he didn't care about these polite words. He raised his head and looked into the depths of Black Abyss Valley, his eyes slightly focused, as if he was thinking about something.
"Okay, you go back and digest this harvest first, I still have something to do."
After saying that, he flashed and turned into an afterimage, disappearing into the dark valley, leaving only the brother and sister standing there, unable to recover for a long time.
Liu Mingyu carried the broken limbs of the World of Warcraft on his back, mainly because Storage Ring only had a few cubic meters in total, so there was no room for so much material. He walked briskly through the forest, and couldn't help but look back at the mist that was gradually dissipating in the depths of Black Abyss Valley, and grinned.
"Yuting, how strong is Brother Jiang now? Fourth-grade Alchemist! There are not many elders in Outer Court who can reach this level, right?"
Liu Yuting clutched the jade slip in her arms tightly. The cold touch made her calm down, but there was still a trace of trance in her eyes.
She whispered.
"Brother, don't worry about this for now. The main thing is to get out of here quickly."
She always felt that something was wrong. Black Abyss Valley had always been dangerous. Even in the outermost areas, there were often low-level monsters wandering around. However, they ran all the way without even hearing a beast's roar.
The whole forest was eerily quiet, as if all living creatures were deliberately avoiding them.
Liu Mingyu is quite generous, he patted the bag filled with spiritual herbs and Magic Core on his waist and said proudly.
"What are you afraid of? Maybe Brother Jiang is secretly protecting us! Hey, when we go back this time, these materials alone are enough to exchange for several thousand Contribution Points!"
As he was speaking, he tripped and almost fell down.
When he looked down, he saw that it was a broken animal bone. The bones were scorched black, as if they had been instantly burned by some high temperature.
The brother and sister were stunned at the same time.
Liu Yuting squatted down, and as soon as his fingertips touched the bone fragments, the scorched black marks turned into fine ash and fell, and he suddenly retracted his hand, his voice tight.
"It's the residue of Fire-attribute Battle Qi."
Liu Mingyu swallowed and suddenly remembered the blue flame dancing on Jiang Donghua's fingertips.
Could it be that the monsters along this road have been cleared away long ago?
"Stop!"
A cold shout suddenly erupted from the forest, and several figures flashed out from the shadows of the trees like ghosts, instantly surrounding the brother and sister.
Liu Mingyu's heart tightened, and he subconsciously protected his sister behind him, his hand already pressed on the short knife at his waist.
Looking up, I saw that the people coming were all wearing Jia Nan Academy Outer Court's standard black robes, with silver thread emblems embroidered on their chests. They were at least elite students of the Dou Shi level!
The leader was a tall, thin young man with a stern face and eyes as sharp as an eagle.
He first frowned and looked at the two brothers and sisters, and then sneered.
"Two newcomers who have just joined Dou Zhe dare to break into Black Abyss Valley? Are they looking for death?"
A female student next to her with sharp eyes suddenly pointed at the half-part of the World of Warcraft stump exposed from behind Liu Mingyu, and exclaimed.
"Wait a minute, Senior Brother Zhao, look at that, is that the claw of Tier 3 Demonic Beast Shadow Phantom?!"
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed.
Tier 3 Demonic Beast is an existence comparable to human Da Dou Shi. Even their elite team consisting of three Dou Shi can only take a detour when encountering Tier 3 Demonic Beast.
How could these two newcomers hunt such a dangerous creature?
The tall and thin young man narrowed his eyes and his tone suddenly became gloomy.
"Tell me, where did you steal this thing from?"
Liu Mingyu Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he refused to admit defeat.
"What does stealing mean? We hunted it ourselves!"
"Fart!"
Another male student interrupted sharply.
"With your meager strength, I'm afraid you can't even touch Shadow Phantom's hair!"
Liu Yuting bit his lip, suddenly took out the jade slip with blue light from his arms, and whispered.
"If you brothers and sisters don't believe it, you can ask Senior Brother Jiang!"
Liu Mingyu and Liu Yuting had just taken a few steps when they heard the tall, thin young man's sudden rising voice behind them.
"Wait a minute! The Senior Brother Jiang you are talking about is Jiang Donghua for the Alchemy Department?"
The brother and sister paused and looked back, only to see that the arrogance on the faces of those Outer Court elites had long since disappeared, replaced by a strange stiffness.
Especially the leader, Senior Brother Zhao, had his mouth twitching and his eyes flickering.
Liu Yuting was keenly aware of the change in the atmosphere and nodded slightly.
"It's exactly Jiang Senior Brother Donghua."
In an instant, the expressions of the people opposite became even more exciting.
The female student even subconsciously took half a step back, as if she heard something she shouldn't hear.
"Ahem, that's it."
Senior Brother Zhao laughed twice and suddenly became extremely polite.
"Since we are from Senior Brother Jiang, we must have offended you just now. You two should walk slowly."
He stepped aside to get out of the way and even made a "please" gesture.
Although the other team members looked confused, they also moved out of the way, but their eyes couldn't help but glance at the two brothers and sisters, especially the cold jade slip in Liu Yuting's hand.
Liu Mingyu Although he was confused, he also knew that it was not appropriate to stay any longer at this time, so he quickly pulled his sister and left quickly.
It wasn't until the two brothers and sisters completely disappeared in the forest that the team reunited.
"Senior Brother Zhao, just let them go?"
One of the team members couldn't help but asked in a low voice.
"That jade slip is at least a Xuan-level skill, and there are Tier 3 Demonic Beast materials..."
"Shut up!"
Senior Brother Zhao looked gloomy and lowered his voice to scold.
"Do you know who Jiang Donghua is? Alchemy Department is the youngest Fourth-grade Alchemist. Even the elder Inner Academy is polite to him! Stealing his people? Are you looking for death!"
The female student hesitated for a moment and whispered.
"But Senior Brother Jiang is an alchemist, why would he appear in a place like Black Abyss Valley? And with two newcomers who just joined Dou Zhe?"
Senior Brother Zhao narrowed his eyes and suddenly sneered.
"Don't you understand yet? The brother and sister are probably just running errands."
He licked his lips, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.
"The news that Jiang Donghua is in Black Abyss Valley is worth much more than hunting a few monsters."
The other team members suddenly woke up.
"Senior brother, do you mean to sell it to those interested people?"
"Hmph, let's go! Return to Outer Court first. This news must be spread as soon as possible!"
The group of people quickly disappeared into the forest, but in the completely opposite direction to the brother and sister.
Jia Nan Academy Outer Court In a certain attic, several figures sat around a dark red wooden table, their expressions solemn.
"Is the news confirmed?"
A man in gray robe asked in a deep voice, tapping his knuckles lightly on the table.
"Absolutely true."
Senior Brother Zhao nodded, with a shrewd light shining in his eyes.
"The brother and sister personally admitted that it was Jiang Donghua who brought them in to Black Abyss Valley, and they still had the Xuanjie skills he gave them in their hands."
"Oh, interesting."
The man in gray robe sneered.
"A guy who stays at the Alchemy Department all day actually goes to a place like Black Abyss Valley with two newcomers? What on earth is he planning?"
A burly man next to him frowned.
"Alchemy Department people have always been arrogant, especially Jiang Donghua. He even refused Inner Academy's special move. He insists on competing for Outer Court Grand Competition's top five spots. What is he trying to do?"
"What else can you picture? Treasure Pavilion!"
A trace of greed flashed in the gray-robed man's eyes,
Everyone looked stern.
Treasure Pavilion, Jia Nan Academy Inner Academy's supreme treasure house, it is said that it contains sixth- and seventh-grade elixirs, earth-level Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills, and even various legendary rare things!
Only the top five of Outer Court Grand Competition are eligible to enter and choose a treasure.
"But Jiang Donghua, how strong can a pharmacist be in actual combat?"
Someone questioned.
"He hasn't even entered the top twenty of Battle Qi Ranking!"
"Idiot!"
The man in gray robe drank coldly.
"Do you really think he only knows how to refine medicine? Don't forget, he is Fourth-grade Alchemist! Any pill in his hand can make a strong Dou Ling work for him!"
Everyone was silent.
It is true that Jiang Donghua has always lived a solitary life in Outer Court and rarely interacted with others, but the more he behaves like this, the more people can't figure out his true identity.
"What now?"
Senior Brother Zhao asked in a low voice.
"Should we let the news out and let those lunatics find out what's going on with him?"
The man in gray robe narrowed his eyes and said slowly.
"No rush, take your time."
The news spread like wildfire on Outer Court.
At first, it was just a few students who were handing over in the task hall talking in low voices.
"Have you heard? Jiang Donghua from the Alchemy Department showed up at Black Abyss Valley, and he brought two newcomers with him!"
"Really? Doesn't he never produce Alchemy Department?"
"It's absolutely true! Someone saw the brother and sister with their own eyes holding the Xuanjie Kung Fu he gave them!"
Soon, the news spread to various small groups.
In the tavern, several Dou Shi level students were sitting around a table, and one of them lowered his voice.
"It is said that Jiang Donghua is looking for something in Black Abyss Valley. Even Fourth-grade Alchemist is moved. It must not be simple!"
"Hmph, no matter what he is looking for, we can't afford to offend him anyway."
The other person shook his head.
"On the contrary, those brother and sister have Xuanjie techniques in their hands."
On the training ground, a group of students from Rock Attribute Battle Qi are sparring. Among them is a burly man with rock-like gray-brown skin, Shi Zhen, standing with his arms folded, listening to the report of his subordinates.
"Boss Shi, the latest news is that Jiang Donghua may participate in this year's Outer Court Grand Competition!"
Shi Zhen twisted his lips into a disdainful smile.
"Alchemist dares to compete for the top five? What a joke!"
The boy next to him immediately agreed.
"That's right! No matter how powerful the alchemist is, he is still useless in actual combat? Boss Shi is Peak Great Fighter. His rock attribute defense is invincible. If we really want to fight, Jiang Donghua can't even break the defense!"
Shi Zhen snorted coldly, clenched his fist, the ground shook slightly, and a layer of rock-like Dou Qi Armor covered his arms.
"If I meet him in the ring, within ten moves, I will let him know how to make alchemy, and he should conscientiously make elixirs!
Jiang Donghua naturally knew nothing about everything that happened outside. He was walking alone in the depths of Black Abyss Valley. The shadows around him became thicker and thicker, but his steps were still calm and leisurely.
"It's an unexpected surprise for the two brothers and sisters."
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a trace of amusement flashed in his eyes.
It was just a return of favor. After all, before I first joined Outer Court, that boy from Liu Mingyu had stupidly helped me get out of trouble several times.
Although with his current strength, those so-called troubles are not even scratching the itch, but this is a favor that he Jiang Donghua has never bothered to owe.
"But Liu Yuting, that girl actually has a special physique?"
He rested his chin, thoughtfully.
Cold Marrow Spirit Body is considered a rare thing on the entire continent. If he can be fully awakened, he will at least be a Dou Emperor level strongman in the future.
Although from his perspective, Dou Emperor has just stepped onto the threshold of the strong, but with this little Outer Court, it is not a loss to be able to form a good relationship in advance.
"Anyway, keeping that book <Frost Heart Art> will take up space."
He sneered.
"Black Corner Region's gang of desperadoes stole so much rags that Storage Ring can hardly hold it anymore."
Thinking of the origin of that exercise, he couldn't help but shake his head.
That was before, senior sister Hong Ling came back with a bloody short blade and threw a few Storage Ring to him, which were all trophies contributed by the Dou Ling strong men she had chopped down.
"Tsk, that woman!"
Thinking of Hong Ling, Jiang Donghua felt a rare warmth in his eyes.
That extremely domineering woman was obviously a few years older than him, but she was already able to fight her way in and out of Black Corner Region as if she were in an uninhabited land.
Lightning Attribute Dou Qi was so violent that eight, if not ten, Dou Ling died under her sword.
Every time he came back, he would give him all the loot, euphemistically calling it pocket money for his junior brother.
"What a good woman!"
He laughed softly and then shook his head.
Converging his thoughts, Jiang Donghua cast his gaze to the deepest part of Black Abyss Valley.
The atmosphere there, even now, he felt a little oppressive.
"It's time to get down to business."
He raised his hand and waved, blue Cold Flame Flood Dragon Fire rose in his palm, and the surrounding air instantly became hot and cold.
Under the flames, his eyes were as sharp as a knife.
"I haven't tried yet how powerful my fire control Secret Method is."
