Jiang Donghua watched the group of people leave in a hurry. Before the smile on his lips disappeared, a secret sigh of laughter came from behind.
"The means are good."
Elder Mo Xuan didn't know when he was standing in Pill Room, with his gray sleeves hanging down and his eyes as deep as an abyss.
He stood with his hands behind his hands, a hint of emotion in his tone.
"If you don't move, it's enough. If you move, it's amazing."
"I've made your kid famous, and he also got a third-level peak medicinal cauldron."
Jiang Donghua turned around and bowed respectfully, but still had that calm smile on his face.
"The teacher has given me a reward."
Elder Mo Xuan stared at him for a moment and slowly shook his head.
"Now, I admit that I was a little mistaken."
"With your character and strength, even if you don't become an alchemist, you will probably become a famous and powerful person."
Jiang Donghua heard this, his smile did not change, but there was a hint of depth in his eyes.
"Teacher, a strong person who has not grown up can only be regarded as talented."
Elder Mo Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, half-smiling but not smiling.
"Oh? Then do you think you have grown up?"
Jiang Donghua did not answer immediately, but walked to the window and looked into the distance.
"At least, now no one dares to treat me as a loser who 'relying on his own body', right?"
Elder Mo Xuan was silent for a moment, then chuckled.
"It's a good example of 'if you don't move, it's fine, but if you move, it's amazing'."
Elder Mo Xuan looked at him deeply and finally nodded.
"That's all, if you have this kind of character, you won't have to say much as a teacher."
"But, what are your plans next?"
Jiang Donghua smiled slightly and gently touched Storage Ring with his fingertips. The warm touch of Azure Flame Cauldron seemed to still be in his palm.
"Of course it's a retreat."
"Now that the Yao Tian gift has been proven, then some people should know about it."
"My Jiang Donghua refining talent Yao Tian is even more exaggerated than they thought!"
Elder Mo Xuan's eyes flashed, and then he laughed.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
"It seems that my master has really found a treasure this time."
Jiang Donghua also laughed, but deep in the smile, there was a coldness that no one noticed.
"After all, a truly strong person will never rely on just one method to gain a foothold."
The alchemy duel between Jiang Donghua and Liu Qingya was like a storm, sweeping through the entire Jia Nan Academy Outer Court at an alarming speed.
The news spread extremely quickly, countless times faster than previous rumors.
Especially when Jiang Donghua really refines First-grade Pill, and it is still Double-Patterned Bone-Mending Pill.
After this fact was confirmed, the entire Outer Court was shocked.
"Have you heard? Alchemy Department, that Jiang Donghua, actually beat Liu Qingya!"
"More than just winning? I heard that Liu Qingya vomited blood and passed out on the spot, and even Azure Flame Cauldron was taken away!"
"Double-Patterned Bone-Mending Pill! That's a level that even Elder Mo Xuan may not be able to achieve at the age of Jiang Donghua!"
"Tsk, tsk, this really hit the wall."
For a time, the name Jiang Donghua was deeply imprinted in the hearts of countless people.
Some people are in awe, some are afraid, and some are starting to make secret calculations.
And those guys who once helped Liu Qingya spread rumors are even more on pins and needles now.
They know better than anyone that Jiang Donghua is not a good person.
Even Liu Qingya was tortured until he vomited blood and fainted. Wouldn't it be even worse for minor characters like them?
Therefore, within a few days, these people used the excuse of "going out on a mission" to escape Jia Nan Academy in a hurry, for fear that they would be liquidated if they were too late.
It's a pity that they still underestimated Alchemy Department's methods, or in other words, they underestimated those who wanted to please Jiang Donghua.
"I heard that those guys want to run away?"
"Oh, can you run away?"
"Senior Brother Jiang Although we didn't say it explicitly, we still have to 'show our expression'..."
As a result, in the following days, those who had spread rumors "accidentally" encountered various "misfortunes" one after another.
Someone was "accidentally injured" by a monster while performing a mission, and suffered several broken bones throughout his body.
Some people "go crazy" while practicing, their meridians are damaged, and their cultivation level regresses.
Some people even "accidentally" fell into the poisonous swamp, resulting in ulcers all over their bodies and in excruciating pain.
Although no one directly admitted who did it, everyone knew it.
With these injuries, I will never be able to get out of bed for three to five months.
Jiang Donghua, on the other hand, turned a deaf ear to the ups and downs of the outside world, and just quietly practiced in seclusion as if all this had nothing to do with him.

[Elixir: Bone-Mending Pill, perfect, nothing to improve, Explosive Qi Pill, perfect (120/500), the clone is being upgraded]
Jiang Donghua is sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, with his eyes slightly closed, Dou Qi is flowing around his body, and wisps of light cyan Pill Qi are lingering on his fingertips.
However, the real him had already left the matter of alchemy to the three clones in his mind.
Although the clone only has a simple spiritual intelligence, it is more stable and can meticulously complete the refining of the basic elixir according to his will.
And he himself is like a greedy sponge, crazily absorbing the endless knowledge in the Alchemy Department Library Pavilion!
"Wow--"
The sound of turning pages kept ringing in the quiet room, and Jiang Donghua's fingers almost turned into afterimages as he quickly flipped through the thick classics in his hands.
<Compendium of Herbs>, <Record of Exotic Fires>, <Ancient Pill Recipe Fragments>, <Dou Qi and the theory of mutual development of medicinal properties>...
These precious classics, which could cause turmoil in the outside world, were now being digested by him at an astonishing speed like the most ordinary miscellaneous books.
His photographic memory means that he doesn't need to study it over and over again.
With just one glance, the contents of the book can be imprinted in the depths of your mind!
"Shua--!"
Another ancient book was closed. Jiang Donghua threw it casually and accurately threw it back to the bookshelf. At the same time, he stretched out his hand to grab it, and another book that had been prepared flew into the palm of his hand automatically.
"Brother, this is the last volume of <Compendium of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures>..."
A Alchemy Department disciple walked in carefully holding a stack of books with beads of sweat on his forehead.
This is already the seventh time today that he has come to deliver books!
Jiang Donghua didn't even raise his head, just said a faint "hmm", and with a slight hook of his fingers, the book flew up into the air and fell steadily into his hand.
"Wow--"
The sound of pages turning was heard again, and the disciple was stunned.
Where is reading a book here? This is simply "eating" a book!
"Teacher, senior brother..."
He couldn't help but swallow.
"Are you... looking for something?"
Jiang Donghua paused slightly while turning the book, and glanced up at him.
That look in his eyes was calm, but it instantly sent shivers down the disciple's spine, as if he was being targeted by some ferocious beast!
"If you shouldn't ask, don't ask."
The faint words made the disciple tremble all over, and he quickly bowed his head and retreated.
It wasn't until he was far away from the quiet room that he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"It's so scary... Senior Brother Jiang This is not like reading a book? It's like plundering knowledge!"
In the quiet room, the corners of Jiang Donghua's mouth were slightly raised, and a deep light flashed in his eyes.
"Looking for something?"
"No... I'm 'hunting'."
These books contain countless secrets that have been ignored by the world!
Ancient medicinal materials, lost medicine refining techniques, the undiscovered Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure...
How could he miss it?
"Wow--"
The pages of the book turned again, Jiang Donghua's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, not missing any detail.
After all, a truly strong person never misses any opportunity to become stronger!
The news that Jiang Donghua was studying hard in seclusion spread quickly throughout the Jia Nan Academy Outer Court as if it had wings.
Who wouldn't want to make friends with a genius who can transform from an alchemy novice to a Double-Patterned Bone-Mending Pill refiner within half a year?
So, in the following days, Alchemy Department's threshold was almost crossed.
Some children from aristocratic families came with heavy gifts and wanted to build relationships. There were even some female students who handed over the sachets with blushing faces and eyes full of admiration.
However, without exception, these people were all blocked from the gate of the Alchemy Department.
"Sorry, Senior Brother Jiang is in retreat and will not see outsiders."
Alchemy Department's disciples stood upright, their tone of voice respectful but unquestionable.
This is the order Jiang Donghua personally gave before retreating.
And they naturally strictly enforce it.
"I am the direct descendant of the Wang Family! You dare to stop me?"
A young man in Chinese attire had a gloomy face and an arrogant tone.
"Senior Brother Wang, please forgive me, the rules are the rules."
Alchemy Department disciples are neither humble nor arrogant.
"Huh! He's just a new student, but he has a lot of airs!"
The young man snorted coldly, tossed his sleeves and left.
Similar scenes happen almost every day, but the disciples of the Alchemy Department are not moved at all.
Because they know better than anyone else what terrifying talent their Senior Brother Jiang has!
"It's only been half a year!"
A Alchemy Department disciple sighed in a low voice.
"Senior Brother Jiang has already started researching Second-grade Pill Recipe."
"Yes, we people have been in Outer Court for five years, and being able to hang out in Second-grade Alchemist is already our limit."
The other person smiled bitterly.
The gap is really too big.
It's so big that they can't even feel jealous!
At this time, Jiang Donghua turned a deaf ear to the disturbances from the outside world.
He sat cross-legged in the quiet room with a simple sheepskin scroll spread out in front of him. The record Explosive Qi Pill recorded on it was that he had finally reached the point where he was proficient in the game.
"The fire control requirements are higher, and the combination of medicinal materials is also more complicated."
Jiang Donghua gently touched the scroll with his fingertips, his eyes flashed with thought, but he was not afraid at all, but was slightly excited.
Challenges can make people progress!
"Shua--"
He raised his hand and waved, and medicinal herbs flew out from Storage Ring and suspended in mid-air.
"Let's get started."
Jiang Donghua took a deep breath, Dou Qi surged in his palm, and a cluster of light blue flames slowly rose up.
That was a wisp of Azure Spirit Flame he extracted from Azure Flame Cauldron. Although it was weak, it was enough to practice his skills.
In the quiet room, the aroma of medicine gradually filled the air...
Outside the Alchemy Department, those visitors who were turned away could only look at the closed door reluctantly and leave angrily.
They know that when Jiang Donghua comes out of seclusion again.
I'm afraid, the whole Jia Nan Academy will be shocked by it!
Jiang Donghua is sitting cross-legged in the center of the quiet room, Earth Spirit Cauldron is suspended in front of him, the tripod is trembling slightly, exuding the strong spiritual power of Earth attribute.
"First practice with Bone-Mending Pill."
He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, picked it up with his fingertips, and medicinal herbs flew out from Storage Ring and were arranged neatly beside him.
Eight pairs of Bone-Mending Pill medicinal materials, neatly arranged, no more and no less.
"Huh--"
He let out a breath, his eyes suddenly condensed, Dou Qi surged in his palm, and a raging flame instantly ignited in Earth Spirit Cauldron!
Alchemy, begin!
However, at this moment, Jiang Donghua seemed to have entered a mysterious state.
The movements are smooth and smooth, without any hesitation. This Bone-Mending Pill recipe was not created by anyone else.
But it was written by him himself!
"Whoosh!"
When the medicinal materials enter the cauldron, the flames surge, and the medicinal power is rapidly integrated within the cauldron.
No hesitation, no deviation.
Every step is incredibly precise!
"This feeling of being idle and reaching perfection is so powerful and weird."
Jiang Donghua sighed secretly in his heart, but his hand movements did not stop at all.
He doesn't even need to concentrate, he just needs to relax his mind, and his body will complete all operations instinctively. Alchemy is as natural to him as breathing!
"Buzz--"
Earth Spirit Cauldron trembled slightly, and a wisp of light cyan Pill Qi overflowed from the mouth of the tripod, hovering around.
"Pill Pattern? It's just something that's readily available."
Jiang Donghua chuckled lightly and hooked his fingers lightly.
"Open!"
The lid of the tripod opened, and a pill flew out, with two delicate Pill Pattern wrapped around the surface!
Double-Patterned Bone-Mending Pill, done!
Without any pause, he directly put the elixir into the mutton fat Jade Bottle, then put in the medicinal materials again and started refining it for the second time.
"Shua--!"
"Buzz--!"
"Open!"
Pill after pill, like products on an assembly line, flew out of Earth Spirit Cauldron in a steady stream. Each pill was round and Pill Pattern clear!
Eight times of starting the furnace, eight times of success!
Eight Double-Patterned Bone-Mending Pill lie neatly among Jade Bottle!
If other First-grade Alchemist were to see this scene, they would probably be scared to death on the spot!
Where is this alchemy? This is simply mass production!
Moreover, each one is of double grain quality!
"Huh--"
Jiang Donghua put away the last pill and weighed it Jade Bottle with satisfaction.
"Not bad, it feels smoother and smoother."
He stretched, a trace of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
"Next... it's time to try Second-grade Pill."
If people knew that he had just refined eight Double-Patterned Bone-Mending Pill just to "practice"...
I'm afraid all Alchemy Department students will go crazy for it!
Jiang Donghua threw the Explosive Qi Pill prescription aside and glanced at the medicinal materials placed in front of him.
Crimson Flame Fruit, Berserk Bear Gall, Wind Spirit Grass, Blood Lingzhi...
"Second-grade Pill, it should be interesting."
He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, picked it lightly with his fingertips, and the medicinal materials flew into Earth Spirit Cauldron one by one.
"Boom--"
The flames rose inside the cauldron, and the medicinal power quickly fused in the high temperature.
Twenty minutes later...
"Buzz--"
Earth Spirit Cauldron trembled slightly, and a wisp of crimson Pill Qi spilled from the mouth of the tripod, hovering around.
"Open!"
Jiang Donghua raised his palm, the lid of the cauldron opened, and a red pill flew out, with a clear Pill Pattern wrapped around the surface!
Explosive Qi Pill, done!
He pinched the elixir, frowned slightly, and shook his head in disgust.
"It's the first time that your hand is raw?"
"Just one Pill Pattern."
If other students of the Alchemy Department heard these words, they would probably spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot!
Can Second-grade Pill be refined into Pill Pattern?
What kind of monster is this?!
You know, those who can refine Pill Pattern on Second-grade Pill are basically the peak Third-grade Alchemist!
Some have even half-stepped into the fourth level!
And what about Jiang Donghua?
He has only been involved in refining medicine for half a year!
The first time I tried Second-grade Pill, I made Pill Pattern directly!
In the end, this guy actually thought he was "handy"?
Still think it's "just one Pill Pattern"?
"Soul Force's improvement is indeed more difficult than imagined!"
Jiang Donghua raised his chin, thoughtfully.
If an ordinary alchemist wants to improve Soul Force, he must accumulate it over a long period of time or take the rare Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.
"Come again!"
Without hesitation, he put in the medicinal materials again and started refining them for the second time.
This time, the movements were smoother, Soul Force poured into the cauldron like a tide, accurately controlling every change in the potency!
"Buzz--"
The sound of the tripod is clearer than before!
"Open!"
Another Explosive Qi Pill flew out.
But this time, there were two Pill Pattern wrapped around the surface of the elixir!
"That's true."
Jiang Donghua nodded with satisfaction and put the elixir away Jade Bottle.
If those veteran alchemists who have practiced hard for decades saw this scene, they would probably collapse on the spot!
Comparing people to each other is so annoying!
Jiang Donghua stayed in the alchemy room for more than half a month.
When he finally opened the door and walked out, the corridor of the Alchemy Department was silent for a moment, and then~
"Senior Brother Jiang Good!"
"Senior Brother Jiang is out of seclusion?"
"What kind of elixir did Senior Brother refine this time?"
A group of the Alchemy Department disciples stopped one after another and saluted respectfully, their eyes full of awe and admiration.
Jiang Donghua The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he still maintained a polite smile and nodded in response.
There are so many lovely people!
The distance from the alchemy room to the stairs was only a few dozen steps, and it took half an hour to walk!
My face almost froze with laughter!
"No, I have to run away!"
His eyes flashed, Dou Qi was quietly running in his body, and his steps suddenly accelerated!
"Shua--!"
Yellow-Tier High-Grade Movement Combat Skill--Cloud-Chasing Steps!
His figure was like a breeze, passing through the crowd in an instant and disappearing around the corner of the stairs in the blink of an eye.
"Huh? Where are the Senior Brother Jiang people?"
"The one who was here just now..."
Everyone looked at each other in shock, but at this time Jiang Donghua had already taken three steps and two steps at a time, and rushed to Elder Council on the top of the Alchemy Department.
"Dong dong dong!"
The sound of rapid footsteps came from far away. Elder Mo Xuan was holding a thick ancient book and studying it. When he heard the movement, he raised his eyebrows slightly and slowly picked up Spirit Tea and took a sip.
"This kid finally came out."
He smiled secretly in his heart.
I have been in retreat for more than half a month. I must be stuck on the second level Explosive Qi Pill, right?
After all, there is a huge difference in difficulty between Second-grade Pill and First-grade Pill. No matter how talented you are, you cannot achieve it overnight.
Now, this kid must have encountered a bottleneck and came to me for advice!
Elder Mo Xuan stroked his beard and assumed an enigmatic posture, preparing to receive Jiang Donghua's "humbly asking for advice".
"Bang!"
The door was pushed open, and Jiang Donghua strode in. The first sentence he spoke made Elder Mo Xuan almost spit out the Spirit Tea in his mouth!
"Teacher, do you have any other prescriptions?"
Elder Mo Xuan.
"...?"
His eyes widened and his beard stood up.
"You... you're not here to ask questions about Explosive Qi Pill?"
Jiang Donghua looked puzzled.
"Explosive Qi Pill? What do you have to ask about that thing? I've already made it."
Elder Mo Xuan.
"???"
He stood up suddenly, his voice rising an octave.
"Have you mastered it?!"
Jiang Donghua nodded, casually took out a suet Jade Bottle from Storage Ring, and poured out two red pills.
Each one is wrapped with two clear Pill Pattern!
Elder Mo Xuan stared at the two Double-Patterned Explosive Qi Pill, his eyelids jumped wildly, and his fingers shook unconsciously.
"You, you've been in seclusion for more than half a month just to practice this?"
Jiang Donghua nodded naturally.
"Yes, I got good at it after practicing, but I don't have enough elixirs. Does the teacher have any more advanced ones?"
Elder Mo Xuan.
"..."
He took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and gritted his teeth.
"You brat! Do you think the recipe is just Chinese cabbage?! Second-grade Pill Recipe is enough for you to digest for a while!"
Jiang Donghua touched his nose and muttered.
"But I think it's quite simple..."
Elder Mo Xuan.
"..."
We can't talk today!
