The Alchemist Department students and instructors who had originally followed along merely to listen to Elder Huo's lecture now looked at Xiao Yang with exceptional reverence.
There was even a trace of worship in their eyes.
Alchemists on the Dou Qi Continent were indeed rather arrogant.
But they were only arrogant toward ordinary people and ordinary cultivators.
When they encountered high-level alchemists, they instead held them in even greater respect.
It was precisely because they understood the difficulty of alchemy and how hard it was to improve one's alchemical ability.
Thus, when they encountered someone whose alchemical skills surpassed their own, they respected them all the more.
At this moment, they looked at Xiao Yang as though they were looking upon a god.
They listened to the insights and experience Xiao Yang shared with rapt attention.
Finally, after three hours of discussion, Xiao Yang felt it was about enough.
"Elder Huo, I should possess the ability of a fifth-grade Alchemist, right?"
Seeing Xiao Yang's faintly smiling gaze, Elder Huo could not help but blush in embarrassment.
Who did he think he was, to question someone like him?
He could not even see through Xiao Yang's true alchemical ability.
In fact, under Xiao Yang's guidance just now, Elder Huo even felt as if he had vaguely touched the threshold of a Sixth-grade Alchemist.
"Ahem, of course. I lost the bet."
Elder Huo had a bad temper, but he was also very straightforward.
Without the slightest hesitation, he took ten Jade Boxes out of his Storage Ring.
"These are the medicinal herbs we agreed upon. They're yours from now on."
"Take a look and see if anything is wrong."
Without hesitation, Xiao Yang smiled and accepted the ten High-level Medicinal Materials.
