The whole Alchemy Department was brightly lit, people were drinking and drinking, and the laughter and laughter almost lifted the roof.
Jiang Donghua was sitting on the main seat, surrounded by a group of junior brothers and sisters. Hundred Herb Brew had been refilled countless times in the wine glass. Even the usually serious deacon had his face flushed with alcohol and was slapping the table and shouting.
"Alchemy Department feels proud today! Dong Hua, you are our great hero!"
Jiang Donghua smiled and raised his glass, but his eyes inadvertently swept to the back of the crowd.
There, an old figure was leaning against the pillar, with his arms crossed and a helpless smile on his face.
Elder Mo Xuan Alchemy Department One of the ten elders, Peak Fifth-grade Alchemist, is also the master of Jiang Donghua.
"Master."
Jiang Donghua nodded slightly, with a hint of respect in his eyes.
Mo Xuan shook his head and walked over slowly. The students around him immediately fell silent and respectfully moved out of the way.
This elder was usually very serious in speech, but today he rarely scolded the crowd. He just walked up to Jiang Donghua and patted him on the shoulder, with a bit of ridicule in his tone.
"A Dou Ling Peak beats up a Half-step Spirit Fighter, and it's such a big move. Isn't it a bit too much to bully others?"
Jiang Donghua Hearing this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
"Master, you also know that I have always kept a low profile, but they insisted on forcing me to take action."
"Low-key?"
Mo Xuan sneered.
"If you keep a low profile, Outer Court I'm afraid no one will dare to boast about it."
The surrounding students were stunned for a moment, especially when they heard the four words Dou Ling Peak, many of them widened their eyes and almost couldn't hold their wine glasses steady.
Dou Ling Peak?!
You know, among the geniuses on Outer Court Wind and Cloud Ranking, the strongest are just entering the Dou Ling realm, but Jiang Donghua has already reached its peak?
Doesn't this mean that he is only one step away from Dou Wang?!
"Hiss--"
Someone took a breath of cold air.
"No wonder Liu Hanshuang can't even catch a single move!"
"Senior Brother Jiang must have hidden it too deeply!"
"How can we fight this? In tomorrow's ranking battle, won't he definitely win the first place?!"
Discussions came and went, but Jiang Donghua just smiled and said nothing, his eyes still falling on Mo Xuan.
Mo Xuan looked at his apprentice, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, but soon, his expression became serious and he whispered.
"Dong Hua, my master is here today. Actually, there is something else I want to tell you."
Jiang Donghua noticed the change in Master's tone and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Master, please speak."
Mo Xuan pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke. Although his voice was soft, it sounded like thunder.
"I feel like my Soul Force is about to break through."
"What?!"
Jiang Donghua's pupils suddenly shrank, the wine glass in his hand was crushed with a bang, and the wine splashed to the ground, but he didn't notice it at all.
The whole Alchemy Department fell silent instantly. Everyone stared at Elder Mo Xuan with their eyes wide open.
Soul Force Breakthrough?!
What this means is that everyone present knows that Fifth-grade Alchemist and Sixth-grade Alchemist are only one grade apart, but they are worlds apart!
Fifth-grade Alchemist is already a top existence in Outer Court, but once he steps into the sixth level, even Dou Zong strong people will have to be polite when they see him in the future!
"Master, are you sure?!"
Jiang Donghua's voice had a rare hint of urgency.
Mo Xuan nodded slightly, with a deep light shining in his eyes.
"When refining high-level elixirs recently, Soul Force showed faint signs of breakthrough. If nothing happens, in as little as half a month or as long as a few months, I will be able to reach the sixth level."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole Alchemy Department was completely boiling!
"Oh my god! Sixth-grade Alchemist! We Alchemy Department are going to rise!"
"If Elder Mo breaks through, our Alchemy Department position in the Jia Nan Academy will definitely skyrocket!"
"Hahaha! Let's see who dares to say that we are medicine jars!"
The students were so excited that some even knelt down, kowtowed and shouted.
"Elder Mo mighty."
As the night gets darker, the noise of the Alchemy Department gradually subsides.
The students dispersed in twos and threes, leaving only a few deacons still cleaning up the mess.
Jiang Donghua Standing under the eaves of the second floor corridor, the cool night breeze dissipated some of the drunkenness.
Mo Xuan stood with his hands behind his hands and looked into the distance. There was the direction of the Jia Nan Academy Inner Academy. Beyond that, there were endless mountains, as if he was staring at a more distant place.
Central Plains.
Jiang Donghua stood behind the master, silent for a moment, and finally spoke.
"Master, did you just say that you would leave the academy after breaking through to the sixth level?"
Mo Xuan didn't look back, just said softly "Hmm".
"Why?"
Jiang Donghua frowned.
"With your status and respected position in the Jia Nan Academy, even Inner Academy will treat you with great courtesy. Why leave?"
Mo Xuan smiled, finally turned around, and looked at his apprentice deeply.
"Dong Hua, do you think Jia Nan Academy is big?"
Jiang Donghua was startled.
Jia Nan Academy, Northwestern Continent The first school, there are as many strong people as there are, and the foundation is profound, even comparable to some ancient sects.
But the master's tone seemed to be talking about something insignificant.
"Northwestern Continent and Jia Nan Academy are indeed behemoths."
Mo Xuan said lightly.
"But in Central Plains, it is just one force."
"Central Plains."
Jiang Donghua repeated in a low voice, a trace of longing flashed in his eyes.
That is the center of the Battle Qi Continent. There are many strong men and sects. According to legend, even Dou Zun level existences are not uncommon!
"Master, are you from Central Plains?"
Jiang Donghua asked.
Mo Xuan nodded, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.
"Many years ago, due to some things, I had to leave Central Plains, came to the Northwestern Continent, and finally settled in the Jia Nan Academy."
He did not elaborate on what those things were, but Jiang Donghua could feel that there was a hint of coldness in the master's tone, even murderous intent.
"Sixth-grade Alchemist is enough to dominate Northwestern Continent, but Central Plains is barely qualified to gain a foothold."
Mo Xuan said slowly.
"There are some things that if you are not at this level, you are not even qualified to intervene."
Jiang Donghua Silence.
He knew that the master's words were telling him that the water in Central Plains was unfathomable!
"Boy."
Mo Xuan suddenly smiled and reached out to pat Jiang Donghua on the shoulder.
"Don't look solemn. It's not like I'm going to leave now."
Jiang Donghua reluctantly pulled the corner of his mouth.
"Master, now that you are gone, doesn't Alchemy Department lose a pillar?"
"Isn't there still you?"
Mo Xuan seems to be smiling but not smiling.
"Why, do you think you can't afford it?"
Jiang Donghua shook his head.
"Disciple just feels a little reluctant to give up."
Mo Xuan laughed, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.
"You kid, you usually pretend to be lazy, but it's rare for you to tell the truth."
After a pause, he said again.
"Don't worry, even if I leave, I will leave you enough things."
"Danfang?"
Jiang Donghua's eyes lit up.
"More than that."
Mo Xuan smiled mysteriously.
"There are also some secrets about Central Plains, as well as the wealth that my master has accumulated over the years."
Jiang Donghua was shocked.
Master is paving the way for him!
"However, you kid, don't think that Dou Qi has a good talent in cultivation, so you just throw away the alchemy skills!"
Mo Xuan suddenly changed his tone and his eyes became stern.
Jiang Donghua laughed twice.
"Master, you are worrying too much. How dare you, disciple?"
"Hmph, what kind of temperament do you have, you don't know yet as a teacher?"
Mo Xuan snorted coldly.
"Defeating Liu Hanshuang with one move today may seem like a great success, but if you encounter a truly strong person, brute force alone will not be enough!"
"Alchemy refining is the real foundation!"
Jiang Donghua looked solemn and nodded solemnly.
"Disciple understands."
Mo Xuan then nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, it's getting late. There is a game tomorrow. Let's go back and rest."
Jiang Donghua bowed his hands, turned around and left.
When he reached the stairs, he suddenly stopped and turned around to ask.
"Master, is Central Plains really wonderful?"
Mo Xuan turned his back to him and was silent for a moment before slowly speaking.
"Wonderful, but also cruel."
"If one day you go to Central Plains, remember that if you don't have enough strength, don't get involved in those ancient disputes easily."
Jiang Donghua took a deep look at Master's back, turned around and went downstairs without asking any more questions.
The night wind blew by, and Mo Xuan still stood where he was, his eyes seeming to penetrate the endless void, looking towards that distant and familiar place.
"Central Plains, I, it's time to go back and settle an old debt."
