Discussing Matters with the Great Elder, Seeing Master Again

Of course, this doesn't mean they completely abandoned Jia Nan Academy and went to the Kunlun Alliance headquarters in Central Plains to develop their business.

It's out of the question.

Their love for the Jia Nan Academy runs deep.

It's absolutely impossible for them to abandon Jia Nan Academy and develop on their own.

Otherwise, the Qian-Bai Elders would not have been able to return to the Jia Nan Academy from Central Plains.

Keep in mind that at that time, they were already experts at the Dou Zong level.

Even in the Central Plains, a Dou Zong level expert would be considered upper-middle class.

You can receive some training by joining any faction.

With their own talent, if they had stayed in Central Plains, they might have already broken through to the Dou Zun before meeting Wang Chen.

However, they still gave up this possibility and chose to return to the Jia Nan Academy on the Northwestern Continent.

This shows their perseverance.

The main reason they were interested was that Jia Nan Academy was now connected to Central Plains.

In the future, graduates of the Jia Nan Academy will also have a very good place to go.

Most of the graduates of the Jia Nan Academy now pursue their own paths.

Most people from the Northwestern Continent travel and develop their careers in the various empires of the Northwestern Continent, while those from the Central Plains have mostly returned to the Central Plains.

However, connecting with Wang Chen's Kunlun Alliance means there's another place for further development and learning.

Of course, the gap between sects and academies is still very large.

The college doesn't have much of a binding force; graduates are completely free to choose their career path.

However, the situation is different for sects and factions.

Once you've grown up relying on the power of another sect, it's definitely impossible for you to break away directly like you would with an academy.

This might be less appealing to students from powerful family families.

However, for those students who have no ties to their studies, this is undoubtedly a shortcut to continue climbing higher.

Having more options is a great thing.

Graduates of the Jia Nan Academy will have a better choice, while Wang Chen's Kunlun Alliance will also be able to acquire some talented individuals with relatively steadfast character.

This is a complete win-win situation!

With the name of the Kunlun Alliance, the reputation of the Jia Nan Academy will become even more renowned.

After all, Jia Nan Academy is equivalent to having a ticket to join the forces in Central Plains.

Even if you might be rejected after the interview, it's still an opportunity.

Compared to those who don't even have a ticket, they are undoubtedly much better off.

After having an idea, Great Elder Su Qian glanced at Qian-Bai Elders.

Then, Qian-Bai Elders nodded in agreement, acknowledging Great Elder Su Qian's idea.

After all, they had worked together at the Jia Nan Academy for so long, so they had this much understanding.

Especially after the Qian-Bai Elders, broke through to the Dou Zun, their communication with the Great Elder Su Qian, became more and more frequent.

After such a long period of tacit understanding, they can naturally understand what the other person is trying to express in their eyes.

"Xiao Chen, how did you plan this out?"

Having received approval, Great Elder Su Qian immediately inquired.

"Great Elder, this is my idea."

Upon hearing Great Elder Su Qian's question, Wang Chen immediately answered.

Wang Chen maintained his respect for Great Elder Su Qian, who had helped him a great deal in the past.

They did not become arrogant after their strength improved.

"Doesn't Jia Nan Academy Inner Academy have graduates every year? I'll give those graduates a chance."

They can choose for themselves; those who are willing to the Kunlun Alliance can be given an interview opportunity.

If you can pass a simple interview, you can go to the Kunlun Alliance in Central Plains to study.

As for those who are unwilling, I will not force them."

Wang Chen quickly shared his thoughts.

This is beneficial to both Jia Nan Academy and Wang Chen's own Kunlun Alliance.

After all, the most important thing for any power is to have a constant influx of fresh blood.

Otherwise, it will eventually come to an end as time goes by.

Although the Kunlun Alliance is currently taking off, Wang Chen wouldn't mind doing this as a side benefit, as it would provide a stable channel for replenishing fresh blood.

It won't take much effort anyway.

Why wouldn't he do something that's a win-win situation?

This can also be seen as repaying those who helped him in the past.

"Okay, okay."

Upon hearing Wang Chen's idea, both Great Elder Su Qian and Qian-Bai Elders expressed their strong agreement.

They were very satisfied with this voluntary approach.

After all, Jia Nan Academy has always adhered to formal academic teaching since its founding.

It's impossible to directly plan out the career path after graduation.

This is inconsistent with the Jia Nan Academy's long-standing principles.

Fortunately, Wang Chen did not make any demands that would put them in a difficult position.

This can definitely be considered a preferential treatment for the Jia Nan Academy.

The two sides had a very heated discussion on this matter.

After more than two hours of conversation and pleasantries, the meeting finally came to an end.

The Qian-Bai Elders, also left immediately.

After all, the Spatial Channel that Wang Chen set up still needs to be dealt with.

This is a golden goose that lays golden eggs.

They can't afford to waste it.

Since Wang Chen built the Spatial Channel near the Jia Nan Academy, it's obvious that he's giving Jia Nan Academy a gift.

Moreover, this is the Kunlun Alliance that connects to the Central Plains.

Whether for their own sake or for Wang Chen's power.

This space must be firmly held.

Otherwise, it might easily cause trouble for Wang Chen's Kunlun Alliance.

After the Qian-Bai Elders left, Wang Chen exchanged a few more words with the Great Elder Su Qian.

"Great Elder, have you needed any pills or similar elixirs for your cultivation lately?"

Wang Chen held Great Elder Su Qian in high esteem.

Whether from Zi Yan's perspective or from the kindness he himself had received, Wang Chen was determined to repay Great Elder Su Qian.

Unlike the Qian-Bai Elders.

Back when Wang Chen was at the Jia Nan Academy, he didn't have much interaction with the Qian-Bai Elders and Erlao.

It's easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to provide charcoal in the snow.

"I don't really need anything."

Upon hearing Wang Chen's question, Great Elder Su Qian refused without hesitation.

He knew Wang Chen's abilities.

A powerful Alchemist is certainly very wealthy.

Not to mention the forces still being established in Central Plains.

Even a tiny bit leaking through the gaps between his fingers would be enough for him.

However, Great Elder Su Qian is not that kind of person.

He helped Wang Chen mainly because Wang Chen was a student at the Jia Nan Academy and was also very talented.

It wasn't to take advantage of someone's kindness.

Now, with Wang Chen's help, Jia Nan Academy has become much stronger.

This is the best way to repay him, so naturally they wouldn't want what Wang Chen has now.

Upon hearing Great Elder Su Qian's words, Wang Chen shook his head.

Wang Chen was quite familiar with the integrity of these people.

As the saying goes, people gather in groups, and things are grouped by their kind.

If Great Elder Su Qian didn't have such integrity, he wouldn't have been able to attract such principled companions as Medicine Elder.

"Alright then, do you have any pills that you'd like me to refine?"

If so, I'll help you refine it.

"There shouldn't be any problem now."

Wang Chen spoke again.

Given Great Elder Su Qian's integrity, Wang Chen would never forcibly give him the pills.

That wouldn't be a repayment, but rather an insult.

Wang Chen wouldn't do something so brainless.

Hearing Wang Chen say this, Great Elder Su Qian relaxed.

He certainly wouldn't agree to being asked for it unilaterally.

However, Great Elder Su Qian was still willing to do something that would benefit both parties.

After a brief discussion, Wang Chen took over several alchemy tasks from Great Elder Su Qian.

They are all Tier 7 Medicinal Pill.

Currently, there are only two Sixth-Grade Alchemists in the Jia Nan Academy.

Trying to refine Tier 7 Medicinal Pill is indeed asking too much of a man.

Many of the Tier 7 Medicinal Pill currently available at the Jia Nan Academy were left behind by Wang Chen when he left.

The number isn't that many anymore.

With Wang Chen returning to the Jia Nan Academy, Great Elder Su Qian naturally wanted to refine a few more.

After finishing his conversation with Great Elder Su Qian, Wang Chen immediately headed to a location within the Inner Academy.

A place he knew very well.

His Medicine Elder's study.

He learned a great deal from his master here back then.

Moreover, in the early stages before Wang Chen took off, it was his master, Medicine Elder, who provided him with meticulous help.

Even if he doesn't have something himself, he will try his best to find it for Wang Chen if he needs it.

How could Wang Chen not respect and cherish such a highly respected master?

If it weren't for the unexpected encounter with Qian-Bai Elders, Wang Chen's first target would probably have been his master, Medicine Elder.

But since the Qian-Bai Elders had already arrived, Wang Chen couldn't just run over and leave them.

That's incredibly rude!

Before long, Wang Chen arrived at this familiar place.

"Creak!"

Taking two deep breaths, Wang Chen pushed open the door and went inside.

Medicine Elder still works here.

He is now the strongest Alchemist at the Jia Nan Academy.

At the Late-Tier 6 rank, one is absolutely unrivaled in the Jia Nan Academy.

The reason he was able to break through so quickly was mainly because when Wang Chen left, he specifically left a lot of experience for his master Medicine Elder.

Although he only reached the level of Seventh-Grade Alchemist.

However, for Medicine Elder, who possessed the strength of Sixth-Grade Alchemist, what Wang Chen left behind was perfectly suited.

After all, improving one's alchemy skills requires a gradual process.

If one's own strength is too low, learning overly advanced alchemy techniques can be harmful.

It's like starting elementary school and immediately beginning advanced mathematics.

This is complete chaos!

Relying on the experience records left by Wang Chen, and with Medicine Elder's own good talent and diligent study, he was able to succeed.

Therefore, he was able to improve his alchemy skills to the current level of elixirs within just a few years.

As a member of the Jia Nan Academy, Medicine Elder naturally wouldn't focus solely on refining medicine and completely ignore other matters.

In addition to alchemy, he also served as the chief alchemy researcher at the Jia Nan Academy.

My usual task is to carefully organize and compile the various alchemy techniques and experiences of my predecessors, as well as my own insights into alchemy.

This will allow subsequent students at the Jia Nan Academy to better learn from the experiences of their predecessors.

Jia Nan Academy had not paid attention to this aspect before.

This resulted in the existence of various notes and experiences left by Tier 7- grade Alchemist within the Jia Nan Academy.

However, Jia Nan Academy did not have a single student who could break through to the Sixth-Grade Alchemist.

If Wang Chen hadn't suddenly appeared, it might have taken some more time for that Fire Elder to make a breakthrough.

It is precisely because they have suffered losses in this regard that Jia Nan Academy attaches great importance to this point.

Seeing Medicine Elder still busy, Wang Chen was momentarily stunned.

I just stood quietly at the door for a while.

"Um?"

Feeling the burning gaze, Medicine Elder looked up with some curiosity.

That one glance stunned him.

As his most outstanding disciple, his memories are naturally very vivid.

Even though Wang Chen had changed slightly in recent years, Medicine Elder still recognized him at a glance.

"Xiao Chen!"

"Master! It's been a long time!"

Wang Chen also greeted them.

The two, who had just reunited, were momentarily at a loss for words.

Fortunately, Wang Chen has had quite a lot of experience over the years.

So they took the lead and started exchanging and explaining.

Today, Medicine Elder Yao's most prized disciple returned, and he was given a rare day off.

He immediately put aside his original work and started talking to Wang Chen.

Wang Chen had so much to say to his master.

Wang Chen is deeply grateful to his mentor, who helped him achieve rapid success.

The returns will naturally be much greater than those of the Great Elder and the others.

He not only recounted various interesting anecdotes from his experiences, but also explained his expertise in alchemy.

He even took out various pills to aid cultivation from his Storage Ring.

When communicating with Great Elder Su Qian, Wang Chen needed to be careful about one thing.

However, when communicating with Medicine Elder, there's absolutely no need to consider these things.

After all, a son repaying his father—what's there to consider?

Medicine Elder refused all of Wang Chen's various pills.

After all, he is now in the Jia Nan Academy, where he has no worries about food or clothing, nor does he have to hone his alchemy skills.

He still had some need for the pills provided by Wang Chen.

However, he preferred that Wang Chen use these pills himself.

This is a common problem for every father.

They all want to use all their precious resources on their sons.

These things aren't important to me.

However, after Wang Chen's persuasion and a demonstration of his skills, Medicine Elder Yao reluctantly accepted the pills Wang Chen offered.

After some pleasantries and conversation, nearly three hours had passed.

It has to be said that time flies by very quickly when people aren't paying attention.

After finishing his meeting with his master, Wang Chen went to see his master's close friend, Sword Elder.

When Wang Chen was in trouble, this person was the first to stand up for him.

And even before asking how difficult it was, they were all willing to come out and help me.

As someone who repays even the smallest kindness tenfold, Wang Chen could never forget Sword Elder.
