Chapter 6 Apprenticeship "Vice Dean, to be honest, I do have some problems that I need your help with." Han Cheng did not hesitate to express his desire to read the third-grade pill recipe and strive to become a third-grade alchemist."Haha, classmate Han Cheng, the college will agree to this even if you don't say it." Hu Qian shook his head slightly. This kind of desire to make progress is a convenience that the college should provide. As he spoke, an old man who looked serious and rigid walked in. "Old Huo, Han Cheng has only been enrolled for three months, and he has already risen from a clueless apprentice to a second-grade alchemist. You have to teach him well!" "Han Cheng, this is Elder Huo who is in charge of the Alchemy Department. He is a fifth-grade peak alchemist, one step away from the sixth grade." As he said this, he winked at Han Cheng. "Student Han Cheng, greetings to Elder Huo." Han Cheng quickly stood up and saluted. Elder Huo forced a smile from his serious face and nodded. "Student Han Cheng, please refine a second-grade elixir first so that I can see your level." "Yes, elder." Hu Qian also followed the two of them to join in the fun. He also wanted to see the process of refining medicine by the most talented student in the history of Canaan Academy.
When I arrived at the place where I usually take classes in the alchemy department, it happened that today a third-grade alchemist was explaining the key points of refining the second-grade elixir, the Pulse Protection Pill. When he was about to start the furnace, he suddenly saw Elder Huo and the Vice Dean coming over, and he quickly stood up and saluted. "That must be Master Han Cheng, the genius who created the foundation-building spiritual liquid." "Yes, it is Master Han Cheng. I wonder if Master Han is free. I would like to ask the Master to help me refine dozens of bottles of foundation-building spirit liquid." "Damn, that must be hundreds of thousands of gold coins. You're so rich, why are you trying to snatch that chicken leg from me?" "Ahem, that was given to me by my family elders. Besides, the food that is stolen is much more delicious than the food that you eat yourself." "Fuck you, you dog!" "Wait, what's going on? Why did the teacher step back? Is Master Han Cheng going to take action?" "I heard from the people in front that Elder Huo wants to test Junior Han Cheng's ability in refining medicine." "Oh, so that's how it is. Wait! You said Master Han Cheng is your junior?" "Yes, don't you know? Han Cheng is a freshman and has only been enrolled for less than half a year." "That means he started from scratch and became a second-grade alchemist in just a few months?" "Ah! I would rather he was a second-grade alchemist before he entered school. Now hearing this news is more painful than killing me!" "Quiet!" Elder Huo glanced at them with a serious look, and the students who were originally chattering shut up. It was because Han Cheng had already sat cross-legged, summoned fire, and started to refine the meridian-protecting pill. The Pulse Protecting Pill is a very popular second-grade elixir, so Han Cheng has naturally refined it. Han Cheng's smooth movements seemed as if he had refined it thousands of times. The third-grade alchemist beside him opened his eyes wide, wanting to learn something from him. Elder Huo was a little surprised when he saw Han Cheng's skillful process of refining medicine. In fact, before this, no matter how Han Cheng performed, Elder Huo would pass the pill recipe that Han Cheng wanted to him. As long as he reached the corresponding level, he would be treated the same as other students in the Alchemy Department, and could even receive some preferential treatment. After all, this kid was a good kid.
It was just that it only took Han Cheng a few months to go from an apprentice to a second-grade alchemist, which made him want to take in a disciple, so he wanted to see Han Cheng's level. In the end, he really didn't expect that Han Cheng's medicine refining skills were so high. Is this a true genius? It's only a few months of study, and some veteran alchemists who have been at the second-grade level for decades may not be able to do better than him. At this moment, Elder Huo was moved. "Han Cheng, are you willing to take me as your master?" Han Cheng packed up the meridian-protecting pill with clear elixir patterns and gave it to the third-grade alchemist beside him. Han Cheng heard these words when he turned around. His surprise was beyond words, and Han Cheng paid his respects to the master without hesitation. "Disciple Han Cheng, I pay my respects to the teacher." "Good, good, good boy, that's great!" Elder Huo's serious face showed a smile again. Only those who are familiar with this old man Huo know that this old man Huo is really happy. For a long time, he has possessed a huge inheritance in the alchemy department and has more than a handful of seventh-grade pill recipes, but Old Man Huo himself has always remained at the peak of the fifth grade. This makes him feel ashamed of the previous ancestors and he has never been in a good mood. As time went by, Hu Qian and several elders from the outer courtyard discovered that this old man Huo smiled more and more recently, as if the serious old man Huo before was a different old man Huo. Within a month, Elder Huo clearly realized the terrifying talent of his disciple, which could be summed up in two words: outrageous! No matter whether it is a third-grade elixir or a fourth-grade elixir, it will be taught almost twice, and the key points of refining will be explained. Then you can go back and comprehend it yourself for three to five days, and you will be able to refine it skillfully. Elder Huo had no doubt that even if he taught Han Cheng how to make a fifth-grade elixir, he would be able to learn it in less than half a month. However, this year's inner courtyard selection competition would begin in less than two months, and he agreed if his talented disciple wanted to enter the inner courtyard this year. After all, there is a Heavenly Refining Qi Tower in the inner courtyard, and the sooner you practice in it, the better. As for being bullied, haha, even if it was the devil who ranked first on the power list... Well, let’s not use the devil as an example, because that girl is a bit fierce. However, with Han Cheng's identity, he doesn't need to worry about being bullied like other people when entering the inner courtyard. "Huh... A four-star fighter? Let's get started. I'm not short of money. Two hundred thousand gold coins and another year of eight times the speed!" Ever since Han Cheng broke through to the Fighting Master level, the speed of the Golden Finger has increased from the original two times and four times to eight times. The prices haven't changed, double speed is still 50,000 gold coins, quadruple speed is 100,000 gold coins, and eight times speed is 200,000 gold coins. This is also the reason why Elder Huo was impressed by his talent. On the surface, it seemed that only one month had passed, but in fact, he had worked hard for eight months! Although Han Cheng's original talent was not bad, how could his performance be as shocking as this one brought about by his double efforts? In less than two months, Han Cheng actually practiced hard for nearly two years. A few days before the inner courtyard selection competition began, he finished his retreat. With a thought, the red flame power condensed at his fingertips, and then returned to the Dou Crystal representing the realm of the Grand Dou Master according to his will. "I have already mastered the fighting skills. The only thing I need to check is the actual combat experience. After all, I have only been enrolled for eight months and I have become a seven-star master..." However, Han Cheng's fighting spirit is not superficial, after all, he has practiced hard. Moreover, as an alchemist, he has a strong perception. Although he has almost no practical experience, he has an extra pair of eyes in battle compared to his opponents, which can make up for a lot of gaps.
Besides, there are still a few days left... (End of this chapter)
