Chapter 97 A Different Fifteen Years Old!
Canaan College, External Affairs College, Alchemy Department the center of an advanced pharmacy, there is a huge fiery red medicine cauldron with a raging fire burning inside it. Next to the cauldron, there is a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged.
The middle-aged man was wearing exquisite alchemist clothing, and there were four silver ripples on his chest. He was a fourth-grade alchemist! Behind him, there was a young man in black, staring at the medicine cauldron without blinking, looking at it in fascination.
He looked calmly at the medicinal essence bubbling in the flames, his hands constantly forming seals, and from time to time he would explain the details to the black-clothed boy.
After a moment, the energy of heaven and earth gathered in the medicine cauldron. The middle-aged man waved his hand, and a pale white round pill flew out of the medicine cauldron and hovered in his palm. The faint fragrance of the pill lingered in the room.
"Did you see it? This is the method of refining the second-grade Qi-recovering Pill. You were a little too anxious when you were refining it before..." Handing the pill to the young man in black, the middle-aged man spoke slowly.
After a while of talking dryly, the young man in black memorized the words by heart, returned the pill to the middle-aged man, and bowed, "Thank you, Teacher Lin. I have written it all down."
"Well, just write it down. No need to thank me. Teaching you is my duty." The middle-aged teacher smiled, stuffed the pill into the jade bottle, and handed it to the black-clothed boy again, saying, "Here is the pill for you. Refine it a few more times in the future. If you still have problems, come to my office again."
After saying that, Teacher Lin put the medicine cauldron back into his storage ring, pushed the door open and left the alchemy room.
In fact, as a fourth-rank alchemist, he was considered a senior figure in the alchemy department. Logically speaking, it was not his job to teach others how to make medicine, let alone such patient teaching in a soft voice.
But the reason for this is that the black-clothed boy's surname is Xiao! More importantly, he is the cousin of Xiao Yun, the head of the Alchemy Department!
As the head of the Alchemy Department, Xiao Yun naturally sought many benefits for the Xiao family. Just like Xiao Yan had a fourth-rank alchemist to teach him, he would let him observe him making medicine from time to time. Other members of the Xiao family could also receive corresponding training resources from the Alchemy Department every month.
The other students in the academy, including the elders, had nothing to say about this phenomenon. After all, Xiao Yun had made such a great contribution to the academy, and the resources for training the Xiao family were also paid out of his own pockets. They only hated that there was no figure like Xiao Yun in their family.
"Oh no, it's Professor Ruolin's class!" Xiao Yan, who was still in deep thought, suddenly came to his senses, quickly left the alchemy room, and rushed towards the teaching department building.
He originally only had classes in the teaching department today, but when he was refining the elixir yesterday, he didn't understand some things, so he thought of asking some questions in the alchemy department first. But Xiao Yan didn't expect that Instructor Lin was too enthusiastic and directly refined a furnace for him. Now that the problem of alchemy was solved, he was almost late.
Xiao Yan jogged all the way, trying to catch up, but when he arrived outside the classroom, he still saw a teacher who looked like an intellectual young woman explaining cultivation issues to the students.
"Teacher Ruolin, I'm sorry. I just went to the Alchemy Department to ask some questions." Xiao Yan pushed open the door and said embarrassedly.
The sound interrupted the young woman's lecture. A little dissatisfaction just appeared on her face, but when she saw the person coming, she smiled and said gently: "It's okay, classmate Xiao Yan, go back to your seat quickly, and don't be late again next time."
"Yes! Teacher Ruolin." Xiao Yan quickly closed the door and walked quickly to the last row of the classroom. He glanced around and finally sat down next to a girl in green.
"Okay, students, the teacher is going to continue the lecture..." Seeing Xiao Yan sitting down, Teacher Ruolin clapped her hands and continued to explain the issues about cultivation to everyone.
In fact, the punishment for students being late at Canaan Academy is still very severe, but the reason why Ruolin let Xiao Yan go is that she wanted to have a good relationship with the Xiao family, which would also be of great benefit to her.
After all, Xiao Yan's cousin was a sixth-grade alchemist! The most powerful elder in Canaan College! If they could have a little relationship with such a big shot, and get something from him, it would be enough for them, the instructors, to benefit endlessly.
Not to mention anything else, Instructor Ruolin only brought a dozen members of the Xiao family. She was originally a yellow-level instructor, but has been promoted to a black-level instructor as an exception, and the academy is planning to give her more resources for training.
"Brother Xiao Yan, did you solve your doubts at the Alchemy Department?" The young girl who exuded a light and elegant air asked softly beside Xiao Yan.
"Hehe, of course it's solved. Teacher Lin demonstrated it to me personally, and I naturally understood it."
"Teacher Lin is a fourth-rank alchemist, right? He is actually willing to take the time to demonstrate it to you?" Upon hearing the conversation between the two, a tall girl in the front turned her head and asked with a smile. The other members of the Xiao family also pricked up their ears curiously.
Seeing the expressions of the crowd, Xiao Yan immediately showed a smug look on his face, and whispered: "Of course, he saw that I have an excellent talent for alchemy, so he insisted on showing it to me, otherwise I wouldn't be late."
"Tsk tsk, just keep bragging. I think you must be doing this for cousin Xiao Yun's sake. No matter how good your talent in alchemy is, can it compare to cousin Xiao Yun?" Xiao Ning, who has always been at odds with Xiao Yan, curled his lips.
After hearing what Xiao Ning said, Xiao Yan also responded without hesitation: "My talent in alchemy may not be as good as my cousin's, but it is better than yours! You are not even there yet!"
"you……"
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this." Seeing the two men unhappy with each other, Xiao Yu quickly acted as a peacemaker, stretched out his hand to hold down his brother, and asked: "Did you tell your cousin Xiao Yun about your incident this time?"
Xiao Yan's face darkened slightly. After a while, he shook his head and whispered, "Not yet. My cousin has been in seclusion. I haven't seen him."
That matter was about Nalan Yanran breaking off the engagement!
A few days ago, he received a letter from his father Xiao Zhan, which was about his fiancée, Nalan Yanran, who he had never met, wanting to cancel the engagement.
Even though Xiao Yan was no longer the fallen genius, he still couldn't escape the fate of being broken off by Nalan Yanran. The slightly better thing was that this time the broken off engagement was not so embarrassing that it would be known to everyone in the Jia Ma Empire, but only the two families could resolve it privately.
"Don't worry, Brother Xiao Yan, then..." Xiao Xun'er on the side was about to comfort Xiao Yan when suddenly a powerful energy swept over. Everyone in the classroom sensed it, their faces changed, and they all summoned their fighting spirit to resist the wave, but their bodies were still blown up and slammed hard against the wall.
"Students, don't be afraid. This is Canaan College. Nothing will happen."
As a great fighter, Ruolin was able to resist the energy fluctuations, and then she immediately calmed down the panicked classmates. She looked out the window, and a look of shock appeared in her beautiful eyes, because she saw a huge energy beam rising into the sky in the direction of the Alchemy Department building, and dark clouds gathered in the sky, with lightning flashing continuously in it.
"This is... someone is refining a seventh-grade elixir!" Xiao Yan was also looking out the window. As an alchemist, and someone who could also observe Xiao Yun refining elixirs from time to time, he naturally knew the strange phenomena of heaven and earth when various elixirs took shape. The fluctuations in front of him far exceeded the power of Xiao Yun refining a sixth-grade elixir, and it was probably covering an area of ten miles in radius. Apart from the formation of a seventh-grade elixir, he could not think of any other possibility.
“Seventh-grade elixir! The only one in the academy who has the ability to refine it is Elder Xiao!” When Teacher Ruolin heard Xiao Yan’s words, she couldn’t help but exclaimed in surprise, and looked at the horrifying vision of heaven and earth, her whole body trembling.
call out!
Suddenly, a stream of light flew out from the teaching department building and finally hovered in the air above the alchemy department building. The person pacing in the air was none other than Hu Qian, who had already broken through to Dou Zong. He had just approached this area when he smelled the strong fragrance of elixir. He looked down with a look of surprise in his eyes and murmured, "Can this kid already refine a seventh-grade elixir?"
Looking at the building that had been pierced below, through the energy beam, Hu Qian saw at the bottom a young man sitting cross-legged on the ground, with the medicine cauldron in front of him constantly spewing out elixir energy.
The noise soon attracted other elders, who hovered in the air with Hu Qian.
"Deputy Dean, was this caused by Xiao Yun?"
"Such a terrifying phenomenon in the world, could it be that..."
"That's right. Xiaoyun is refining a seventh-grade elixir. You guys go and comfort the students and tell them not to panic." Hu Qian waved his hand. He knew that the seventh-grade elixir would attract elixir thunder. The power of elixir thunder could reach the Dou Zong level. These elders were flying so high. If they were hit by it, they would have to deal with it in a grand manner.
Below, Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the scene in front of him, and heaved a sigh of relief. His face was extremely pale. It took him ten days to refine this seventh-grade pill. Both his soul power and fighting spirit were exhausted. Fortunately, he finally succeeded.
"Hahaha, little guy, thank you so much, just leave this Dan Lei to me!" Two gray figures suddenly flashed beside Xiao Yun. They were the two elders of Qianbai who were at the peak of Dou Zong. When they saw that the former had really refined the Po Zun Pill, they couldn't stop smiling.
"Yeah." Xiao Yun nodded slightly. Although absorbing thunder can temper the body and allow the innate thunder to devour it, in his current state, let alone taking on the thunder, it is even a problem whether he can fly. He can only ask the second elder Qianbai to do it for him.
Seeing Xiao Yun nod, one of the old men's body trembled slightly, and his figure flashed upwards, ready to withstand the pill thunder, while the other old man guarded beside the medicine cauldron to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.
"It took too much time to refine the seventh-grade elixir for the first time, which resulted in all of my Dou Qi being used up. If it can be shortened to seven days, then I can still absorb this elixir thunder." Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, Xiao Yun couldn't help feeling a little regretful. The seventh-grade elixir thunder is comparable to a blow from a six-star Dou Zong. If he could swallow it, Qing Lei would also grow a lot.
"boom!"
While Xiao Yun was thinking, thunder suddenly erupted from the dark clouds in the sky. Then a thick silver bolt of lightning emerged from the dark clouds like a silver thunder dragon and rushed towards the medicine cauldron below.
"Hmph!" The old man in gray robe snorted coldly, and a powerful fighting spirit surged out of his body, turning into a thick barrier that blocked all the falling silver lightning.
"Bang! Bang!..."
The thunder continued to fall, but it could not break through the gray-robed old man's defense. Even if a two-meter-thick thunderbolt appeared at the end, it could not do anything to him. The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated after the strongest thunderbolt.
"Success!"
Hu Qian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He originally wanted to help block the silver lightning, but when the first thunder fell, he hid on the ground and dared only watch from afar.
"Hahaha, this pill thunder is so ferocious, especially this last thunder. I'm afraid even an eight-star Dou Zong will be seriously injured by it." After blocking all the thunder, the gray-robed old man returned to Xiao Yun's side again and said with a smile.
"Thank you, both elders, for your help." Xiao Yun nodded slightly, then looked into the medicine cauldron in front of him. There, there was a pale white round pill that was spinning around. The rich fragrance of the pill made the three of them feel relaxed and happy.
"I'm about to open the lid, be careful that the pill escapes."
After saying that, Xiao Yun waved his hand, and the lid of the tripod flew open automatically. Then a white light flashed out from it like lightning, and without the slightest pause, it shot straight into the sky.
“Tsk tsk, it’s worthy of being a seventh-grade elixir. It’s so spiritual that it wants to escape as soon as it comes out of the medicine cauldron.”
The grey-robed old man smacked his lips. As a peak Dou Zong, he would certainly not let it escape. He casually stretched out his palm, as if crossing layers of space, and directly grasped the pill in his hand. He shook it a few times, and when he opened his palm, the Po Zun Pill was already lying in it.
Looking at the pale white pill, the old face blossomed like a chrysanthemum. After a while, the gray-robed old man finished admiring it and stuffed it into the prepared jade bottle.
"Master Xiao, that old man's Po Zun Dan..." Another old man in gray robe rubbed his hands, looking at Xiao Yun with fiery eyes, and even changed his way of addressing him.
Xiao Yun forced a smile and said weakly, "Master Bai, there are still four more medicinal materials. I'm sure you can make your pill, but you have to wait until I recover."
The two elders each gave three portions of medicinal materials. Xiao Yun ruined one portion when he tried to refine it for the first time, but fortunately the second portion was successful. With the current 50% success rate of pill success, he can still guarantee the success of the refining.
"Okay, okay, then let's wait for Master Xiao to recover." Elder Bai also nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would listen to Xiao Yun in everything.
Afterwards, the two elders, Qianbai, left the alchemy department building, and just as they left, many elders including Hu Qian arrived outside the alchemy room.
As soon as they saw Xiao Yun push the door open, Hu Qian and the others couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Yun, did you refine a seventh-grade elixir?"
"Yeah." Xiao Yun nodded slightly. He really didn't have the energy to say anything more now. "My elders, I did refine a seventh-grade pill, but it has consumed too much energy now. Let's talk about it later if there is anything else."
After saying that, Xiao Yun, with the help of Hu Qian and others, returned to his own lounge. As soon as he lay down, he could no longer hold on and fell into a deep sleep.
……
Twenty days later, in the same Alchemy Department building, even the previous hole had not been repaired, another strange phenomenon of heaven and earth emerged. However, this time, everyone in Canaan College had already gotten used to it. They just sighed slightly at Xiao Yun's strength and then went about their own business.
