Alchemist Class: Third-Grade Alchemist Wang Pei

The students around Ye Nan and Wu Chen were all dumbstruck.

As they saw it, if Wu Chen had stopped Ye Nan,

shouldn't he have been looking for trouble with him?

After all, everyone at Jiangcheng Middle School knew that Wu Chen had been pursuing Wang Lingxi.

It was just that Wang Lingxi had always ignored him.

"What's going on?"

Ye Tangxing was stunned too.

Why was this different from what he had imagined?

Wu Chen had actually invited Ye Nan to attend an alchemist's class with him?

When had their relationship become so good?

Ye Tangxing was utterly baffled.

Earlier, at the training ground, he had already noticed that something was off about Ye Nan.

Wang Lingxi was also in the square at the moment, and she hesitated a little as she watched the scene.

"Ye Nan, I'll get going first, then."

After Ye Nan agreed, Wu Chen left, completely satisfied.

After Wang Lingxi saw Wu Chen leave, he hesitated for several seconds before walking toward Ye Nan.

"Ye Nan, Wu Chen came to see you..."

When she reached Ye Nan, Wang Lingxi looked at him curiously.

She didn't finish her sentence, but the rest went without saying.

Although Wu Chen couldn't compare to her at all, she knew he was an absolute genius at Jiangcheng Middle School.

Ye Nan, on the other hand, was just an utterly ordinary person.

She couldn't understand why Wu Chen had suddenly invited Ye Nan to attend an alchemist's class.

Could there be something more to it?

When the students in the square saw Wang Lingxi walking toward Ye Nan too, they were even more astonished.

"What on earth is going on?"

"I don't know either. Shouldn't Wang Lingxi be furious after Ye Nan pinned her against the wall?"

"I'm afraid it's not what we thought. There might be some other reason."

"..."

In the eyes of the students in the square, after Ye Nan drunkenly pinned Wang Lingxi against the wall,

he seemed to have become a prominent figure at school in a single leap.

"Don't worry, Wang Lingxi. Wu Chen won't give me trouble over that."

Ye Nan thought to himself that Wang Lingxi, who was usually so cold and aloof, had actually said something like that to him.

She's surprisingly nice.

After saying that to Wang Lingxi, he left the square.

When he reached the school cafeteria, he began to eat.

Wang Lingxi was still in the square when the voice of the teacher inside her sounded:

"Lingxi, it's time for us to cultivate."

Hearing the voice inside her, Wang Lingxi hurriedly left the square as well.

After eating, Ye Nan returned to his dormitory.

Everyone else was there, and when they saw him return, they all became bundles of curiosity.

"Ye Nan, we all heard about what happened in the school square just now."

"When did you and Wu Chen get so close?"

Lin Kang asked Ye Nan.

Before this, they had even thought Ye Nan had already died at Wu Chen's hands.

Even if it hadn't come to that, Wu Chen should at least have given Ye Nan a thorough beating.

After all, Ye Nan couldn't compare to Wu Chen in either strength or background.

But they would never have imagined that Wu Chen would invite Ye Nan to attend an alchemist's class with him.

"Secret."

Ye Nan smiled at Lin Kang and the other two classmates.

"Come on, you won't even tell us that?"

Lin Kang curled his lip.

The other two classmates were slightly disappointed as well.

Since Ye Nan had put it that way, he didn't want to tell them, so there was no point asking further.

The next day.

Ye Nan had just stepped out of the dormitory when Wu Chen came into view.

"Ye Nan, the alchemist has arrived at our school. Let's go."

Wu Chen strode over to Ye Nan and spoke to him.

Alchemy was a profession that had flourished to its peak throughout Blue Star.

Jiangcheng might not have amounted to much in Dragon Country, but it still had an Alchemist Alliance.

The alchemist who had come to teach at Jiangcheng Middle School this time was from the Alchemist Alliance.

Although Ye Nan wasn't an alchemist, he knew that alchemists were divided into nine grades, from first to ninth.

The highest-ranking alchemist in Jiangcheng was Zhang Yueshan, the leader of the Alchemist Alliance.

He was a sixth-grade alchemist.

"All right."

After hearing Wu Chen, Ye Nan agreed and headed toward a certain place.

Before long, they arrived in a classroom.

There were already some students inside.

News of what had happened between Wu Chen and Ye Nan in the square yesterday had spread throughout the school.

When Ye Nan and Wu Chen entered the classroom, the students inside all turned their gazes toward them.

Just then, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties walked into the classroom.

When the students saw the middle-aged man enter, they all turned their attention to him.

The middle-aged man's face was cold and gloomy as he introduced himself, seemingly without any expression:

"Students, my name is Wang Pei. I'm a third-grade alchemist, and today I'll show you the process of refining medicine."

The students in the classroom grew interested as they listened to Wang Pei.

The school had invited alchemists to teach before, but they had only covered theory.

They had never seen the actual process of refining medicine.

From the theory they had learned before, refining medicine first required control over flames.

The flames in question were also called Medicinal Fire.

Anyone who wanted to become an alchemist had to see whether they had the relevant talent for refining medicine.

Medicinal Fire was always cyan.

Talent for refining medicine was determined by the intensity of the cyan flame.

And obtaining Medicinal Fire was simple enough.

Anyone with the talent for refining medicine only needed to swallow a Medicinal Fire Pill.

Having Medicinal Fire was only the first step.

After obtaining it, one also needed to learn to control it skillfully.

Once one could control Medicinal Fire skillfully, one would begin learning the vast amount of knowledge involved in refining medicine.

In short, to become a powerful alchemist,

besides talent, the effort required was beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

Ye Nan was looking forward to it too.

He thought that after watching Wang Pei refine medicine, God-Level Comprehension should be able to trigger.

Soon after, some of the students in the classroom noticed the ring on Wang Pei's hand.

"Is that a storage ring?"

"Of course it is. Didn't you hear what he just said? He's a third-grade alchemist."

"Yeah, a third-grade alchemist might not sound like much, but in a place like Jiangcheng, that's already formidable."

The students in the classroom murmured among themselves.

Under the students' gazes, Wang Pei took medicinal ingredients out of his storage ring.

"Students, these are fire needle leaves, jade spring flowers, seaweed gall, lark water..."

Wang Pei introduced the medicinal ingredients he would use to refine the pills to Ye Nan and the others.

After introducing the ingredients, Wang Pei took a medicine cauldron that was black all over out of his storage ring.

The cauldron looked exquisite, with patterns on its surface that made it seem quite valuable.

Then, under the gazes of all the students in the classroom,

Wang Pei opened his hand, and a cyan flame appeared in his palm.

Ye Nan watched the cyan Medicinal Fire in Wang Pei's palm and thought that Wang Pei's talent for refining medicine was probably ordinary.
