Jiang Donghua grinned, showing an expression that wanted to be beaten.
"Master, you have to learn to admit that some geniuses are just that powerful."
Elder Mo Xuan's beard twitched, and he almost couldn't hold back a slap, but soon, he took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and patted Jiang Donghua's shoulder pretending to be calm.
"Okay, brat, I know what you are thinking."
He snorted.
"Don't you just want benefits? I'll give you a roll of Mysterious-grade Combat Skill tomorrow. Can I still run away from here?"
"Mysterious-grade Combat Skill?!"
Jiang Donghua's eyes lit up and he immediately took a step closer.
"Master, please don't fool me with Yellow Tier!"
"Get out!"
Mo Xuan laughed and cursed.
"I'm not so stingy!"
The conversation between the master and the disciple fell into the ears of the surrounding students, but it was like a heavy hammer, hitting their hearts hard.
Can Third-grade Pill be refined in less than a year?!
Can Elder Mo Xuan take the initiative to send Mysterious-grade Combat Skill?!
Doesn't this allow people to live?!
A student looked down at the First-grade Pill that he had managed to refine in his hand, and suddenly felt bored and even wanted to cry.
"Should I change my career to farming?"
He muttered to himself.
"Farming? Hehe, you can't even recognize the elixir, right?"
The people next to me laughed at themselves.
The entire Alchemy Department hall was filled with a strong atmosphere of self-doubt.
Originally, they thought that if they could reach Third-grade Alchemist before graduation, they would be considered geniuses.
But now, the appearance of Jiang Donghua has completely shattered their illusions.
It turns out that besides geniuses, there are even more incredible geniuses!
And they can't even touch the edge of "genius"!
A female student covered her face and her voice trembled.
"I, I suddenly feel that I may not be suitable for refining medicine?"
"Don't lose heart."
The person next to her patted her shoulder with a heavy tone.
"At least, we can still be ordinary people."
"..."
Jiang Donghua Hearing the whispers around him, he felt secretly happy, but on the surface he still looked calm and relaxed.
"Oh, actually I just practice casually. I didn't expect it to be so easy."
He sighed humbly.
"Pfft--!"
"Crack--!"
There was a sound of vomiting blood and clenching fists.
Just practice whatever you want?!
Third-grade Pill is called 'simple'?!
Listen, is this human language?!
Elder Mo Xuan's mouth twitched, and finally he couldn't help but slap Jiang Donghua on the back of the head.
"You bastard, you got an advantage and still act like a good boy!"
"Ouch!"
Jiang Donghua covered his head, feeling aggrieved.
"Master, why are you still beating people?"
"You're the one I'm beating!"
Mo Xuan stared.
"If you dare to rant again, tomorrow's Mysterious-grade Combat Skill will be gone!"
"No, no, no!"
Jiang Donghua gave in immediately.
"Master is wise and mighty, and my disciple realizes his mistake!"
Mo Xuan snorted and turned to leave, but he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
Although this kid deserves a beating, he is indeed a monster!
Perhaps, Jia Nan Academy is really going to produce an incredible character.
In the hall, a group of the Alchemy Department students looked at the back of Jiang Donghua with complicated expressions.
Envy? Jealousy? Awe?
Maybe both.
But what's more, it's a deep feeling of powerlessness.
"Forget it, let's go~"
Someone sighed.
"Yeah, if I keep reading, I'm afraid my heart will collapse!"
The crowd gradually dispersed, but what happened today is destined to become a legend for the Jia Nan Academy Alchemy Department.
Jiang Donghua, on the other hand, stretched out leisurely and walked to his residence while humming a little tune.
"It's really fun to practice while hanging up!"
He thought happily.
"If I take Mysterious-grade Combat Skill tomorrow and let the system hang up for a while, wouldn't I be able to have another round of whoring for nothing?"
"Hehe, these days are really getting more and more exciting!"
The students of the Alchemy Department tacitly chose silence.
It's not that they don't want to show off that they've witnessed miracles, but in comparison, they feel like they're so rubbish!
In half a year, jump directly from One-pattern Alchemist to the third level?
This can no longer be described as "genius", this is simply a monster!
What's more, even if they went out and said it, who would believe it?
"Half a year? Third-grade Alchemist? I'm afraid you are dreaming or being stupid!"
"Hahaha, there must be a limit to bragging, right? Third-grade Alchemist, that can be on an equal footing with the strong Dou Ling!"
"That's it! Jia Nan Academy Third-grade Alchemist, the youngest in history, it also took a whole year and a half! Half a year? Are you just eating and drinking when refining medicine?"
No one believes it.
Some people even sneered directly after hearing it, patted them on the shoulder, and said sincerely.
"Junior brother, when cultivating, you must be down-to-earth and don't think about unrealistic things all day long."
They didn't even have the courage to refute.
Because even they themselves think this is too outrageous!
As a result, this matter gradually became a "taboo topic" within the Alchemy Department.
No one took the initiative to mention it, but every time Jiang Donghua appeared in the alchemy hall, everyone's eyes would unconsciously focus on him, with complicated eyes.
There is awe, jealousy, and envy, but more importantly, there is a deep sense of powerlessness.
They worked hard to practice fire control, memorize prescriptions, and study pharmacology. As a result, they easily reached a height that they may not be able to reach in their lifetime.
How can this compare?
How to pursue this?
Elder Mo Xuan stood in front of the Alchemy Pavilion's window with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed.
The reason why I didn't give Jiang Donghua Mysterious-grade Combat Skill immediately was not stingy.
But he needs time to confirm some things.
In the past six months, the friction between the Blood Demon Sect and Jia Nan Academy has intensified. The two sides have secretly fought several times, and several Outer Court mentors have even disappeared mysteriously, not to mention how many people from Enforcement Team have died!
But just at this time, Alchemy Department suddenly appeared a genius who could not be explained by common sense!
In half a year, it soared from Dou Zhe to Four-star Dou Master!
From knowing nothing about refining medicine, to refining Third-grade Pill easily!
Even Fire Control Technique can teach himself without a teacher!
This can no longer be explained by "extraordinary talent"!
Elder Mo Xuan squinted his eyes and recalled the scene when Jiang Donghua first came to the Alchemy Department.
At that time, the old guy Yan Feng said firmly.
"This kid has been in seclusion for half a year, and his understanding is very good. He is a good prospect!"
But Dou Zhe, why should it be shut down?
After half a year of seclusion, you emerge as Four-star Dou Master?
And also learned how to refine first- and second-grade elixirs?
What a liar!
"No, you have to ask other old guys!"
Mo Xuan whispered to himself, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
He turned around and walked out of the Alchemy Pavilion, heading towards a quaint attic deep in his mentor's residence.
There is the residence of the Alchemy Department, another elder of Bing Hong.
Jiang Donghua Suddenly, Elder Mo Xuan's meaningful eyes flashed in his mind.
"Huh? Then the old fox shouldn't be suspicious, right?"
Jiang Donghua touched his chin, thoughtfully.
My own growth rate is indeed a bit outrageous.
Although you can use your 'talent' to get through it, that old guy Mo Xuan is not that easy to fool.
"Tsk, it seems we have to find a way."
He narrowed his eyes and raised a sly smile on his lips.
"That's it!"
On the other side, Elder Mo Xuan has arrived in front of Bing Hong's attic.
He just raised his hand to knock on the door, but the door opened by itself with a creak.
Bing Hong's cold yet hoarse voice came from inside.
"Mo Xuan, what are you doing here?"
Mo Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Bing Hong, I have something to ask you."
"About Jiang Donghua?"
Mo Xuan's pupils shrank.
"How do you know?"
Bing Hong chuckled, his voice as cold as ice.
"Because I'm also checking him out."
Things don't seem that simple anymore.
Elder Mo Xuan's face suddenly darkened, he waved his sleeves and robe violently, and shouted angrily.
"Bing Hong! How dare you secretly investigate my apprentice?!"
His beard and hair were all spread out, Dou Qi was surging faintly, and he looked like he was eager to protect the calf.
However, Bing Hong just shook his head lightly, tapped his fingertips on the table, and an invisible soundproof barrier quietly enveloped the room.
"Mo Xuan, you and I have known each other for decades, why do you need to act in front of me?"
Her eyes were as cold as ice, but her voice had a hint of solemnity.
"Six months ago, Blood Demon Sect's direct disciple who had been in seclusion for six years - 'Blood Fiend Son' suddenly disappeared. At the same time, Jia Nan Academy Outer Court had an additional Jiang Donghua who had been in seclusion for six months."
Mo Xuan's eyelids twitched, but he still had anger on his face.
"Ridiculous! Based on this baseless speculation, how dare you doubt my apprentice?!"
Bing Hong sneered and threw out a secret message from his sleeve.
"Blood Demon Sect Secret Method, Blood Devouring Spirit Transformation Art can devour others' cultivation and improve themselves in a short period of time. And Jiang Donghua in this half year~"
She said word by word.
"Your cultivation level has skyrocketed, your alchemy skills can reach the gods, and you can even master your unique 'Fire Control Technique' without a teacher - Mo Xuan. Do you really think this is reasonable?"
Mo Xuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly sneered.
"That's all?"
He slammed the table.
"If that kid is really Blood Demon Sect, why did he refine Third-grade Pill in public to reveal his talent? Why didn't he continue to hide it?!"
Bing Hong's eyes flashed slightly.
"Maybe... he is just gambling."
"Bet we don't dare touch a 'peerless genius', bet Jia Nan Academy will protect him at all costs."
Her fingertips traced a line of small red words on the secret letter.
"After all, what Blood Demon Sect is best at is 'dove occupying the magpie's nest'."
There was dead silence in the room.
After a long time, Mo Xuan sat down slowly, his voice hoarse.
"What do you want to do?"
Bing Hong put away the secret message and spoke in a solemn tone.
"Jia Nan Academy will not wrongly accuse good people, but he will not let traitors go."
An ice crystal condensed on the fingertips.
"Three days later, I will test him on the grounds of 'pointing out alchemy'. If he is really a Blood Demon Sect person!"
The ice crystals shattered, chilling to the bone.
"His soul will be driven to pieces!"
