Elder Mo Xuan's beard was trembling slightly, and he secretly glanced at Jiang Donghua from the corner of his eye, feeling a turmoil in his heart.
How long has it been?
It's only half a month!
I was promoted from First-grade Alchemist to the second grade, but it took me three years, and my master praised me for my extraordinary talent!
And this kid actually figured it out by himself?!
Those disciples of the Alchemy Department were muttering before, saying that Jiang Donghua spent all day in the Library Pavilion, flipping through books faster than falling out, could it be possible that he really learned some secrets from those ancient books?
Monster!
Absolutely a monster!
This kid is definitely trying to trick himself.
The pride of being an elder made him stiffen his neck, deliberately snorted, and turned his head to the side.
"Huh! I don't believe it!"
"Unless you practice for me on the spot!"
After he finished speaking, he quietly used his peripheral vision to observe Jiang Donghua's reaction.
Sure enough, the young man paused and seemed stumped.
Mo Xuan suddenly felt a little more comfortable. He was about to put on the airs of an elder and preach a few words, but saw Jiang Donghua helplessly spreading his hands.
"There are no medicinal materials."
"I wish you could provide medicinal materials."
Before he finished speaking, Elder Mo Xuan had already stood up with a "scratch", his large sleeve robe brought up a gust of wind, and he directly dragged Jiang Donghua and rushed downstairs.
"Get down here!"
"Medicine? Alchemy Department is the most indispensable thing!"
The disciples who were sorting out the medicinal materials in the corridor only saw a gray shadow flash past. When they saw clearly that it was Elder Mo Xuan dragging Senior Brother Jiang, they were so shocked that they almost knocked over the medicine baskets in their hands.
"Elder, this is~"
"Come and have a look!"
In the center of the medicine refining hall, Elder Mo Xuan waved his hand, and several medicine cabinets opened in response.
Crimson Flame Fruit, Berserk Bear Gall, Wind Spirit Grass... Various medicinal materials for refining Explosive Qi Pill are neatly suspended in the air.
"Refining!"
"Practice now!"
"I want to see if you are bragging!"
Jiang Donghua Seeing the old man's angry beard, he couldn't help laughing and his shoulders were shaking.
He rolled up his sleeves slowly, and Earth Spirit Cauldron landed in the center of the hall with a "thud".
"That disciple has shown his disgrace."
With a flick of his fingertips, a cluster of green flames jumped into the cauldron.
The entire Alchemy Department disciples held their breath, and countless eyes were fixed on the medicine cauldron.
Elder Mo Xuan The hands behind his back were clenched unconsciously.
Is this kid really going to perform miracles in public?
In the entire medicine refining hall, the air seemed to have solidified.
All the students stared at the Earth Spirit Cauldron in the center, their eyes full of disbelief.
"You entered Second-grade Alchemist in half a year?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Even though Jiang Donghua had created so many miracles before, they still couldn't believe it at this moment.
The gap between Second-grade Pill and First-grade Pill is like a chasm!
How many alchemists have been stuck at the peak of the first level throughout their lives, unable to make any progress!
And Jiang Donghua has only been studying for half a year!
However, just as everyone was in shock and confusion, ten minutes passed quietly.
"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, opened the lid of the cauldron, and a red pill flew out, with two clear Pill Pattern wrapped around the surface!
Second grade Explosive Qi Pill, double grain quality!
"Hiss--"
In the entire hall, a gasp of cold air suddenly sounded.
Everyone stared at the pill with their eyes wide open, as if they had seen a ghost.
Has it really been refined?
Moreover, it is still double-grained!
What kind of monster is this?!
The entire Alchemy Department was silent, and everyone was shocked and speechless.
Only Elder Mo Xuan, the light in his eyes soared, he slapped Jiang Donghua on the shoulder, and laughed loudly.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
"As expected of my favorite direct disciple!"
His voice was loud and full of pride, as if the person who "didn't believe in evil" just now was not him at all.
Jiang Donghua The corner of his mouth twitched slightly and he glanced at his teacher helplessly.
This old man can change his face faster than turning the pages of a book...
The surrounding Alchemy Department students were just waking up from a dream, with complex expressions on their faces, including shock, awe, and a deep sense of frustration.
"It's over, there's really no comparison now."
"Second grade in half a year, have we lived like dogs all these years?"
"Monster! This is definitely a monster!"
Jiang Donghua put away the elixir, glanced at everyone, and suddenly grinned.
"Junior brothers, come on."
"Otherwise..."
"Next time we meet, I may already be in the third level."
Everyone.
"..."
It's so heart-wrenching to kill someone!!!
The news that Jiang Donghua successfully entered Second-grade Alchemist quickly swept through the entire Jia Nan Academy like a fierce hurricane.
But this time, no one dared to show even a trace of jealousy.
The gap between them is really too huge.
So huge that it makes jealousy seem so ridiculous and insignificant.
Every time the students of the Alchemy Department get together, the topic will involuntarily focus on Jiang Donghua.
"Have you heard? Senior Brother Jiang has actually started studying Third-grade Pill Recipe."
"This speed is so amazing! It took me two full years just to learn how to identify medicinal materials."
"Do you think it is possible for him to reach the level of Third-grade Alchemist in just one year?"
When they said these words, the unwillingness and jealousy in their eyes had long since been replaced by full envy and deep awe.
But Liu Qingya, who once went head-to-head with Jiang Donghua, has now completely disappeared.
Some good-hearted people went there to visit, and when they came back, everyone's expressions looked particularly strange.
"Senior Brother Liu..."
"Now I lock myself in my room all day long and chant 'Azure Flame Cauldron' whenever I see someone!"
"I once saw with my own eyes that he was making alchemy gestures in the air, but there wasn't even a medicine cauldron in front of him."
The direct descendant of the Liu Family, who was once high and mighty, now has unfocused eyes and disheveled clothes. Where is the trace of his former arrogance?
That thrilling alchemy duel not only ruthlessly took away his medicine cauldron, but also completely shattered his Daoist heart.
After Elder Mo Xuan learned about this, he just said it lightly.
"The heart is higher than the sky, but life is thinner than paper."
At this time, Jiang Donghua was standing steadily on the terrace on the top floor of the Alchemy Department, overlooking the panoramic view of the entire college.
The breeze gently ruffled his robe.
"Liu Qingya~"
He whispered the name softly, without the slightest pity in his eyes, only the profound indifference.
On this path of cultivation, which is full of difficulties and obstacles, there has always been a cruel rule of victory and defeat.
If it was him who was defeated in that duel that day Jiang Donghua.
Then his fate will probably be even more tragic than this.
