Mo Xuan looked at his apprentice's careless look and couldn't help but sigh.

"You brat, do you think you just took a casual stroll today?"

Jiang Donghua blinked.

"What if?"

Mo Xuan sneered, flicked his sleeves, and said with his hands behind his back.

"Do you think that with your little cultivation, you can detect how many top powerhouses are secretly detecting your body today?"

Jiang Donghua was stunned.

"Detection? What detection?"

Mo Xuan glanced at him and said slowly.

"Three Dou Wang Elder's soul secrets, Dean Lei Tian's secret observation, and Soul-Suppressing Jade's detection."

"You kid, you were checked inside and out!"

Jiang Donghua.

"...???"

He was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly looked down at his hands, then touched his face, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Is this the inspection complete?"

"Why don't I feel anything?!"

Mo Xuan sneered.

"With your level of cultivation, you can only detect ghosts!"

Jiang Donghua scratched his head, suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

"Then this Bloodfang Blade is the compensation after the inspection is successful?"

Mo Xuan snorted and said calmly.

"What if?"

"Do you think those elders would look down upon you without the support of Master Fifth-grade Alchemist?"

"I'm going to give you a fifth-level sword? Go ahead and dream!"

Jiang Donghua As soon as he heard this, he immediately put on a scoundrel look. He thought that his master's apprentice would feel uncomfortable when being suspected by other elders, so he stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Master is wise! Master is mighty!"

"Disciples know that if you follow the master, you won't have to worry about having a good time!"

As he spoke, he diligently squeezed Mo Xuan's shoulders and patted his back, just like a flattering little eunuch.

Mo Xuan was amused by his appearance and laughed and cursed.

"Go away! Stop flattering me here!"

Jiang Donghua chuckled, but then thought of something again and lowered his voice and asked.

"Master, now the academy should not doubt me anymore, right?"

Mo Xuan looked down slightly and said slowly.

"Obviously it won't happen anymore, but secretly there are some people who won't give up easily."

Jiang Donghua frowned.

"Then let's test it again?"

Mo Xuan did not answer directly, but gave him a meaningful look.

"During this period, keep a low profile."

"Bloodfang Blade Hold it for self-defense, but don't be too ostentatious."

Jiang Donghua nodded solemnly.

"Understood!"

Seeing that things were almost done, Jiang Donghua was about to say goodbye and leave when he suddenly heard Mo Xuan cough twice.

"Ahem..."

Jiang Donghua paused in his steps, looked back at his master, and blinked.

"Master, do you feel uncomfortable in your throat?"

Mo Xuan glanced at him and said slowly.

"Recently, I accidentally obtained a secret body refining technique, Profound-tier High Grade level."

Jiang Donghua's ears stood up instantly!

Profound-tier High Grade The secret technique of body refining?!

This is good stuff!

Mo Xuan continued talking to himself, as if he didn't notice his apprentice's reaction:

"It's a pity that we can't find a suitable person to inherit it."

Jiang Donghua.

"..."

His eyes widened with an expression like "Master, are you kidding me?"

"Master! Look at me! Me!"

Mo Xuan pretended not to hear and looked up at the ceiling.

"Oh, if no one practices this secret skill, it will be a waste just to leave it alone."

Jiang Donghua was anxious and rushed forward, grabbing Mo Xuan's sleeve with a smile on his face.

"Master! Your dear disciple is here!"

"Look at my physique! This talent! This diligent and studious attitude!"

"If you don't pass it to me, who else can you pass it to?!"

Mo Xuan then lowered his head as if he had a "sudden realization" and looked Jiang Donghua up and down, pretending to hesitate.

"You? OK?"

Jiang Donghua patted his chest and assured.

"It must be done! Master, don't worry, my disciple will study hard and practice hard, and I will never let you down!"

Mo Xuan The corner of his mouth raised slightly, but he soon straightened his face and said seriously.

"This secret technique is called 'Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Technique'. It is not easy to practice and requires a lot of hardship."

Jiang Donghua waved his hand indifferently.

"It's not a big deal! What kind of hardships have you never endured?"

Mo Xuan nodded, took out a simple jade slip from his arms, and handed it to Jiang Donghua.

"Take it and practice hard."

Jiang Donghua felt like he had found a treasure, so he quickly took the jade slip and happily took it into Storage Ring, not forgetting to flatter him.

"Master is awesome! Master is the best!"

Jiang Donghua had just stuffed the jade slip into Storage Ring, and was happily preparing to leave, when Mo Xuan's voice drifted slowly over again.

"Boy, after you get the benefits, shouldn't you do something for your teacher?"

Jiang Donghua paused in his steps, turned around slowly, and showed a wry smile that said "Sure enough."

"Master, I heard your plan downstairs."

Mo Xuan narrowed his eyes and smiled like an old fox.

"Lin Yue If that kid comes to you again and asks if you have anything, or does something strange..."

"Just follow him and talk more."

Jiang Donghua raised an eyebrow.

"Master, are you asking me to be an undercover agent?"

Mo Xuan stroked his beard, which was very meaningful.

"I've already given you the benefits first, but if you can't get any useful information!"

"Tsk, I have several other good things in my hands, but I don't know which good disciple I should give them to."

Jiang Donghua's eyes lit up!

The greater the risk, the higher the profit!

He immediately rubbed his hands and leaned forward to lower his voice.

"Master, don't worry! Disciples are professionals when it comes to making clichés!"

"But..."

He blinked mischievously.

"If you want to lure out a big fish, do you have to give priority to your most filial apprentice among your 'several other good things'?"

Mo Xuan slapped him on the back of the head.

"You brat, are you bargaining with me?"

Jiang Donghua covered his head and grinned, but the corners of his mouth opened wider.

This wave is not a loss!

After the Alchemy Department got down, Jiang Donghua was rubbing his head and thinking.

"Lin Yue, right? How dare you use me as a scapegoat."

"See if I don't turn your old man upside down!"

Jiang Donghua was walking on his way back to practice Pill Room, his mind kept replaying the secret conversation he had just had with his master.

"It turns out that my cultivation level has improved so quickly that it has attracted the attention of some people."

He touched his chin, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes.

"No wonder Disciplinary Hall is targeting me. This speed is indeed a bit exaggerated."

Suddenly, his steps stopped and his brows furrowed.

"Wait!"

"Lin Yue told me yesterday that 'people from the Law Enforcement Department investigated me'!"

"But how could a young student of his know the movements of the Law Enforcement Department!"

Jiang Donghua's pupils shrank, and a chill ran up his spine.

"Is this guy a foreteller, or does he already know the inside story?!"

"There's definitely something wrong!"

He recalled Lin Yue's "kind reminder" look at that time, and now he just felt creepy.

"They look so similar!"

"I was almost blinded by him!"

What worries Jiang Donghua even more is the mysterious force mentioned by the master.

"Blood Demon Sect!"

Mo Xuan's description is very simple, but there is fear between the lines.

"A sect that specializes in evil skills. It is good at devouring other people's blood, essence, Body Seizure flesh, and can even pretend to be the dead and resurrect them."

"Their people are so deep in hiding that they are hard to guard against."

Jiang Donghua My scalp feels numb when I hear it.

"Isn't this the 'special agent organization'?!"

"No wonder the academy is so nervous."

He clenched his fists, and a trace of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.

I'm afraid this is why there will be Death Spirit Tree on Peace Town in the future.

It is absolutely impossible for those old monsters in the academy to turn a blind eye to the fact that a large number of students and elders died silently, or even to the extent that they were secretly replaced.

Speaking of which, Battle Qi Continent, who traveled through time, must be at least several decades older than Xiao Yan.

The main thing is that in the process of solving the problem, you must not be solved by this Blood Demon Sect person.

Jiang Donghua adjusted his mentality and walked slowly to the Alchemy Department hall. Looking at a group of junior brothers who were still scratching their heads over Fire Control Technique, he couldn't help but smile.

"Fishing should look like fishing."

"Since you want to lure Lin Yue into taking the bait, you must first make yourself appear valuable."

"At least he can't stay in the alchemy room every day, otherwise he won't even be able to see the shadow of my brother's butt."

With his hands behind his back, he walked up to a group of alchemy apprentices and watched them hurriedly controlling the flames. As a result, either the fire was too strong and the medicinal materials were burned, or the temperature was not enough to condense the elixir, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

"Tsk, this Fire Control Technique is too rough."

Several junior brothers looked up and saw that it was Jiang Donghua, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Senior Brother Jiang! You came just in time!"

"This Fire Control Technique is too difficult. We have been practicing for half a month, but we still can't master it."

Jiang Donghua smiled slightly, picked up a medicinal ingredient from the table, flicked his fingertips, and a wisp of Azure Flame instantly rose up.

"Fire Control Technique, in addition to hard training, you also have to rely on Soul Force."

He tapped his fingers lightly, and the flames moved like arms, sometimes as warm as a stream, sometimes as violent as beasts, and the medicinal materials tumbled in the fire, but their essence was not damaged at all.

"Watch it--"

The flame suddenly shrank and turned into a thin line, accurately wrapping the medicinal materials, extracting, purifying, and condensing them all in one go!

"Crack!"

A round elixir fell on the palm of my hand, and the fragrance of the elixir overflowed.

"This, this is it?!"

"Senior Brother Jiang doesn't even look at it?!"

The junior fellow students around him were stunned, their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

"Fire Control Technique can still play like this?!"

Jiang Donghua nodded with satisfaction and threw the elixir to one of the junior brothers.

"Give it to you."

The junior brother hurriedly caught it and was so excited that he could not speak incoherently.

"Thank you, thank you Senior Brother Jiang!"

Others looked at him eagerly, with admiration on their faces.

"Senior Brother Jiang, aren't you Soul Force too strong?!"

"Yes! We have been practicing for so long and it is difficult to even stabilize the flames. How can you actually close your eyes and make an elixir?!"

Jiang Donghua waved his hands with an expression on his face that said, "Don't do anything for your basics".

"Just practice more."

"Of course, talent is also important."

Jiang Donghua stood in the middle of the medicine refining room with his arms folded. Looking at the group of junior disciples in front of him who wanted to put their faces into the medicine cauldron, he couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh.

"You elm-headed people."

He flicked his finger, and a wisp of Dou Qi hit the forehead of a junior fellow student who was sticking his buttocks out to observe the heat.

"Refining medicine is done using Soul Force! No matter how big your eyes are, what's the use?!"

The junior brother who was named covered his forehead and felt aggrieved.

"Yes, yes Elder Mo said to watch the heat..."

"That was when refining the healing powder. If the elixir could only be seen with the eyes, what would the alchemist's Soul Force be doing there?!"

Jiang Donghua snatched the medicine shovel from his hand, grabbed a handful of smelly Rotten Bone Grass from the pile of medicinal materials and threw it into the medicine cauldron.

"Close your eyes!"

Under the blank gaze of everyone, he suddenly released Soul Force.

The flames in the medicine cauldron suddenly turned into a fine mesh, Rotten Bone Grass rolled and decomposed in the green fire, impurities were accurately removed, and the essence gathered like a trickle.

"Open your eyes."

Everyone looked around and saw a pool of emerald liquid lying quietly at the bottom of the cauldron, but Jiang Donghua didn't even raise his eyelids the whole time.

"This..."

Jiang Donghua stuffed the spatula back into the hands of the dumbfounded junior brother and stabbed his temple with an iron fist.

"The changes in the flames and the reaction of the medicinal materials in the medicine cauldron depend on Soul Force's perception! Not the eyeballs!"

Alchemy Department In the hall, Jiang Donghua was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, eating melon seeds while watching the group of alchemist apprentices in front of him clumsily tossing the medicine cauldron, sighing silently in his heart.

"If it wasn't for fishing, who would be willing to be a free tutor here!"

In the Jia Nan Academy, the atmosphere among alchemists has always been realistic. The time of high-level alchemists is precious. Who would waste it on a group of apprentices who can't even refine First-grade Pill?

Those senior brothers and sisters of the third and fourth grades are either busy in seclusion to strive for a higher realm, or they are attracted by the major forces in the academy and earn resources everywhere.

Occasionally, when the mood is good, they may give guidance to one or two potential newcomers, but most of the time, these apprentices can only explore on their own, or spend Contribution Points to attend public classes given by elders.

"No wonder the elimination rate of college Alchemy Department is so high every year. They are all forced to leave because they cannot see the future."

Jiang Donghua shook his head and casually popped up a Dou Qi, helping an apprentice who almost set the medicine cauldron on fire to steady the flames.

The apprentice looked over with gratitude, but Jiang Donghua just waved his hand lazily.

"Don't thank me, I'm just too busy."

In fact, you are waiting for the fish to bite.

He squinted his eyes and seemed careless, but in fact Soul Force had already spread quietly, sensing every movement in the hall.

"Lin Yue, that guy, must be losing his temper, right?"

Sure enough, not long after, a familiar figure walked in from the side door of the hall.

Lin Yue!

He had a gentle smile on his face and a roll of elixirs in his hand, as if he was just passing by by chance.

"Junior Brother Jiang, why are you interested in giving advice to newcomers today?"

Jiang Donghua sneered in his heart, but a simple and honest smile appeared on his face.

"It's okay to be idle. I'm tired from practicing anyway, so I can help them out."

Lin Yue took a few steps closer, pretending to be emotional.

"Junior Brother Jiang is indeed kind-hearted, unlike some people who turn their nostrils into the air even if they have some ability."

Jiang Donghua rolled his eyes inwardly.

With your acting skills, it would be really unfair if you don't join the theater troupe!

But he kept saying it.

"Well, actually I didn't think about it that much. I just think it's not easy for everyone."

Lin Yue's eyes flashed with a trace of imperceptible satisfaction, and then he lowered his voice and said mysteriously.

"By the way, Junior Brother Jiang, I recently got a Ancient Pill Recipe. It is said that it can help people break through bottlenecks, but there are some parts that I can't understand. I wonder if you are interested in studying it together?"

Jiang Donghua's heart moved, here it comes!

He immediately pretended to be interested.

"Oh? What kind of prescription? Senior Brother Lin Tell me in detail!"

Lin Yue The corners of his mouth raised slightly, he took a step closer and lowered his voice.

"There are so many people here, why don't you go to my place and have a detailed discussion?"

Jiang Donghua sneered in his heart, but there was hesitation on his face.

"Isn't this not good? What if someone misunderstands that we are privately trading the academy's forbidden elixir!"

Lin Yue waved his hand.

"Don't worry, I got this recipe from outside and has nothing to do with the academy."

Jiang Donghua "tangled" for a while, and finally nodded "reluctantly".

"Okay, I'll go find you later?"

Lin Yue smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the Zhulin Courtyard in the East District at midnight tonight."

After speaking, he patted Jiang Donghua on the shoulder, turned and left.

Jiang Donghua looked at his back, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"The fish bit the hook!"
