The fear of the students made Instructor Han very useful. When he was in a good mood, he couldn't help but talk a lot when he was teaching the alchemy technique. Whether it was the knowledge in books or Instructor Han's own skills and insights on Pill Formula, they all came out one by one from Instructor Han's mouth.

This made Luo Mu very happy. Luo Mu savored every word Instructor Han said. Especially in terms of alchemy skills, Luo Mu gained a lot. The last time he refined When he was Bone Melting Liquid, Luo Mu still encountered many things that he didn't understand, failed many times, and the success rate was frighteningly low. Now that Instructor Han said this, Luo Mu suddenly understood, and he immediately understood where the problem of failure occurred.

Unknowingly, I became even better at alchemy.

Although this lecture, Instructor Han also only lasted for half a day, but compared with the last time, there was a qualitative difference between the two. One time, he was in a bad mood and just perfunctory, and the other time, he was in a good mood and talked about everything. It was clear who was good and who was bad.

Luo Mu, who had gained a lot, was also very happy and sighed that today's trip was well worth it. If he didn't listen to Instructor Han's class and just relied on Luo Mu to explore on his own, he would have failed many times before he could sum up these experiences.

Instructor Han finished teaching, Luo Mu has no intention of continuing to stay in the Academy, and now that he can continue taking poison, Luo Mu does not want to waste time. Going back to improve his cultivation is what Luo Mu wants to do most.

However, things often backfire. As soon as Luo Mu steps out of the door of the Alchemy Department, a figure that hates Luo Mu blocks the path of Luo Mu.

"Bai Lin!" Luo Mu's eyes flashed coldly and he stopped in his tracks. The person who came was none other than Bai Lin who wanted to get rid of Luo Mu over and over again.

Send A-Da in Bai Lin When A-Er came to intercept him, Luo Mu had already guessed that his identity might have been discovered by Bai Lin. After all, It was extremely simple for Bai Lin to go back to Dragon Gate Town to find out whether he was dead. After confirming that he was not dead, Bai Lin wanted to get rid of Luo Mu.

Today's Luo Mu is no longer the original Luo Mu. It is not that simple for Bai Lin to get rid of him, and Luo Mu will not give the other party a chance to threaten him.

Bai Lin has murderous intentions towards Luo Mu. Luo Mu doesn't want to get rid of this thorn in his side.

"You must be Alchemy Department's first genius, junior Luo Mu, right?" Bai Lin stood in front of Luo Mu and said to Luo Mu with a smile on his face asked. When he said this, Li Hu happened to walk out of the courtyard and listened to everything Bai Lin said word for word. His face suddenly became a little ugly.

"Senior, how can I be called the first genius of the Alchemy Department? I've just started to learn alchemy." Seeing Li Hu walking next to him with a bad expression on his face, Luo Mu frowned, not knowing what Bai Lin was planning, and immediately responded in a cold tone.

"Junior, there is no need to be modest. At the age of nineteen, I have already broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining Stage. Alchemy Department has never seen a genius like you! Eh... how is that possible! Junior has already broken through to Qi Refining Stage Seventh floor!" Bai Lin said with a faint smile, shook his head, but then Bai Lin's face changed drastically, he stared at Luo Mu in disbelief, and lost his voice.

When he first appeared, Bai Lin felt that the aura exuded by Luo Mu was not right. It was far better than the sixth level. However, after Divine Sense scanned it, he was shocked to find that Luo Mu had broken through to the seventh level in two months. This made Bai Lin, who knew how difficult it was to practice, not be shocked.

Bai Lin has been stagnant on the ninth floor for more than three years, making no progress at all. He has taken a lot of various elixirs, but still has not broken through to the tenth floor. It took Bai Lin a full year to break through from the sixth floor to the seventh floor. But the Luo Mu in front of him, after only two months of absence, actually broke through the bottleneck of the sixth floor.

Li Hu's footsteps paused, and his face became even more ugly. Just now he also used Divine Sense to scan Luo Mu, and found that just like Bai Lin said that Luo Mu has broken through to the seventh level. Compared with Luo Mu, he, who was once the first genius of the Alchemy Department, looked even more embarrassed.

The students passing by here also looked at Luo Mu with shock on their faces. If Bai Lin hadn't been a well-known figure in the Academy, no one would have believed what he said.

At the age of nineteen, he raised his cultivation level to the seventh level of Qi Refining Stage. Since the establishment of the Jinxiu Academy, there have not been many such geniuses.

The eyes of other students looking at Luo Mu became rich again.

"Brother Luo Mu, is what Bai said true? Have you really broken through to the seventh level?" The young man Yang Qing didn't know when he appeared next to Luo Mu. He asked excitedly with a big mouth.

The surrounding students were shocked. They dared to speak rudely to Bai Lin, calling Bai Lin Bai by name. Very few students among the Academy dared to do this., either there is a strong background behind him, or his own strength is far superior to Bai Lin, and he is not afraid of the Bai Family behind Bai Lin.

And the young man in front of him, Yang Qing, has an unknown origin. He is obviously just a freshman, and his cultivation level has only reached the third level, but he dares to speak like this! Are all the freshmen this year a bit thorny? The old students around him couldn't help but think in their hearts.

The other students did not know Yang Qing, but Bai Lin and Li Hu knew his identity very well. Li Hu had the same expression on his face, while Bai Lin smiled bitterly. Due to Yang Qing's identity, they did not say much.

Bai Lin's reaction made the surrounding students even more confused. I thought Bai Lin would teach this ignorant boy a lesson, but I didn't expect that Bai Lin didn't even say a word.

There was a pause on Luo Mu's face, and he suddenly understood that Yang Qing's identity was not simple, and maybe he was really the descendant of the Yang Family.

Looking at the excited Yang Qing in front of him, Luo Mu chuckled, and then nodded, not hiding anything. Bai Lin had already revealed his state of mind. Concealing more would not only have no effect, but would make others feel disgusted with him.

"Brother Luo Mu is really a genius! I wonder if he can impart some cultivation experience to my younger brother when he is free. If I can practice as fast as my brother, then I will be less scolded by grandpa." Yang Qing looked at Luo Mu with expectation and said.

"I also think that junior Luo Mu is a genius in cultivation, brother Li Hu, do you think so?" At this moment, Bai Lin spoke again, but the words were not addressed to Luo Mu, but to Li Hu who was about to turn around and leave.

Li Hu paused, turned around and looked at Bai Lin.

"Bai Lin, what do you mean by this?" Li Hu asked with a gloomy face and a rather cold tone.

Luo Mu frowned slightly, and a bad premonition arose in his heart, but then a faint sneer appeared on the corner of Luo Mu's mouth. The young man Yang Qing looked at the three of them with a confused expression.

"Oh! I almost forgot, brother Li Hu is the number one genius of the Alchemy Department. Not only has he advanced to the ninth level, but his alchemy skills are not weak, but he doesn't know how to compete with Comparing Luo Mu juniors, who is stronger and who is weaker?" Bai Lin looked at Luo Mu and Li Hu with interest, and the meaning of his words was full of provocation.

"Hmph! You don't have to use words to provoke me. Don't you just want me to teach this new kid in front of you a lesson? It's clear, so why beat around the bush." Li Hu snorted coldly and said to Bai Lin in a cold tone.

"Haha... Brother Li Hu's words are wrong. What is a lesson? I just hope that brother Li Hu can give guidance to his juniors. Although junior Luo Mu's level is not low, at such a young age he definitely has no practical ability. A piece of beautiful jade needs to be carefully carved and polished. Brother Li Hu, as the first person of the Alchemy Department, is qualified to guide junior Luo Mu." Bai Lin chuckled and said to Li Hu meaningfully.

"You don't need to speak so grandly. What's the hidden agenda in your heart that you think I don't know? But I just don't understand. Luo Mu is my Alchemy Department. Even if I want to teach him a lesson or suppress him, I should do it. It's me, Li Hu, who should speak first, why are you so anxious? Is it possible that you still have some grudges with him?" Li Hu saw Bai Lin's thoughts at a glance, and said in an undisguised tone.

"Brother Li Hu is worrying too much." Bai Lin laughed and didn't admit it at all.

Li Hu was too lazy to argue with Bai Lin, but turned his attention to Luo Mu. Why didn't Li Hu not want to give Luo Mu suddenly showed off his power, but he never had a chance and couldn't find any excuse. Bai Lin's words just now made Li Hu feel happy and he immediately found a way!

That's the guidance Bai Lin said! Practical guidance! Just as Bai Lin said, Li Hu, as the senior of Luo Mu, is also Alchemy Department The first person is fully qualified to guide Luo Mu. Of course, this also depends on whether Luo Mu agrees. If not, Li Hu still has nothing to do.

But once agreed, Li Hu can take this opportunity to let Luo Mu lie in bed for a while. In this way, it is justifiable to deal with Luo Mu.

However, when Li Hu looked at Luo Mu, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart. Luo Mu listened to the conversation between him and Bai Lin word for word, but Luo Mu did not express his position from the beginning to the end. There was no sadness or joy on his face, and he was three points colder than Li Hu.

"Luo Mu, junior fellow student, haste makes waste. If you improve your realm too quickly, your foundation will be unstable. As a senior, I can spare some time to give you some guidance today, but I will inevitably suffer some skin injuries during the guidance. I don't know if you are willing to do so." Li Hu suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Luo Mu.

The one with high cultivation guides the one with low cultivation. Logically speaking, the one with low cultivation should be happy, but in front of everyone, everyone can see that Li Hu does not have good intentions. As long as Luo Mu is not an idiot, the students around him think that Luo Mu will not accept Li Hu's "guidance".

"Are you still afraid? Haha... What's the use of having a realm but not daring to fight with others? In the Academy, Academy is protecting you, but what happens once you get out of the Academy?" Seeing that Luo Mu didn't speak, Li Hu said impatiently, his tone even more gloomy.

"Afraid of you? You think too highly of yourself, right?" Just when everyone thought Luo Mu was timid, Luo Mu sneered and got into a fight with Li Hu without giving in.
