Chapter 1105
(Unedited)
…
In potion-making most alchemists do not use tirs in this world, Xin Ja has already noticed this. They use their years and years of experience so that they are able to craft potions. But in truth, potions are easily crafted by anyone as long as they knew how to adjust the heat and ti the process.
It is as easy as that.
But the grade would then vary if an alchemist would start using their Ki. Combining Ki, the heat, and the timing is an essential part of potion-making. If soone could not balance this, then they would fail in reaching the higher grade potions.
The reason why Qing Joming was able to create a high-grade healing potion is because of the right timing by Xin Ja. If not… then that high-grade potion would surely fail and turn into a low-grade one.
At this ti, Xin Ja and Qing Joming enter the teacher's office.
Out of the two, Qing Joming is the one who is the most excited as his eyes did not leave Teacher Hou. He looks like a love-struck fool once again while foolishly smiling on the side.
"Hey, Teacher Hou… What is happening here? Are these two students giving you a hard ti?" a male teacher asked while showing a faint smile on his face.
He is feeling a bit amused at this ti because he knew of the temperant of this icy middle-aged lady. He for one would not want to be on her bad side.
"No… These two are the most excellent students in my potion class." She said as she sits down behind her desk.
"You two take a seat…" she commanded.
The teacher was a bit dumbfounded and the other who is also in the teacher's office showed the sa expression. They almost could not believe that the icy lady would say such a thing to students. It was like so kind of miracle just happened to the world.
But Hou Anqing did not mind the way her co-teachers are looking at her right now. Her focus is on the two who would beco troubled because of what just happened in the potion room just now.
"Hmm… This would be problematic… Your classmates would start pestering you two from now on…" she said with a frown.
Xin Ja feels a bit confused. In his mind, he is thinking that there is no actual problem actually in this matter. If Teacher Hou really wanted to, he could teach the student how to ti the process of creating the potion. That would make life easier for everyone, right?
But he is too shy to say this to Teacher Hou, so he kept his silence.
"Hmm… Teacher, if I can help you with the class by being an assistant, then it would be my honor. At least now I have already reached the 2nd level of being an alchemist." Qing Joming said with confidence in his heart.
Upon hearing this, the expression of Hou Anqing changed as she realized that this guy is showing off in front of her. This is the sa young man who tried to profess his love to her. How could a lady like her in her 40's fall for such a young brat?
She could not help but shake her head inwardly.
"Umm… Teacher… I… I can also help." Xin Ja said shyly.
When Qing Joming heard this, he quickly wrapped his arm around Xin Ja's neck and said with a big smile on his face.
"See… You already have two assistants now. So you don't have to worry about the class. You can rest here and we handle it from here. I assure you that everyone would be able to create a mid-level potion before the term ends…" Qing Joming said as he patted his chest.
Xin Ja could not help but shake his head inwardly at this proud fool.
Feeling a bit helpless, Hou Anqing just smirked and was about to wave her hand when a voice interrupted her.
"What a boastful brat! Do you think that just because you said it, you are already qualified to be an assistant to Teacher Hou? Ignorant little brats!" a middle-aged teacher said while walking towards them.
The teacher is well-built, but he has a potbelly. And in one look, one could tell that he is a proud teacher of the academy.
"Teacher Hou… you look as beautiful as ever today." The male teacher greeted.
He could not deny the fact that even though Teacher Hou Anqing is already in her 40s, she is still far more beautiful than those younger teachers around him. So how could he not fall for her?
"Teacher Ma…" Hou Anqing greeted while nodding her head.
"Teacher Hou, are these two your proud students? I think they are too proud for their own good." Teacher Ma said with a smirk.
This teacher's office belongs to all the alchemy teachers in the academy. So each teacher in here is either alchemist or those that are expert on tending herbs, so each one of them in this office is a proud alchemist. Although not all of them are as overbearing as others, yet so of them just like Teacher Ma think that they are better than the rest.
Teacher Ma has been handling advanced alchemy classes from the 3rd year and those that are about to graduate in the academy, so how could he not feel proud of himself.
So when he heard that two 1st year students and at 1st level Ki fighter at that, said those things, he could not help but scoff at them.
He even thinks that the kingdom's decree to let the 1st level Ki fighters enter the academy is a sha to every teacher. He did not want to teach 1st level trash students, so he feels indignant towards them. And now that he saw two of them, he could not help himself but prove his theory correct. That these people are just trash and should not be permitted to enter the prestigious academy.
"Although you are a teacher, you are also an alchemist… How could you not see that I am already a 2nd level alchemist and has the ability to already guide those below ?" Qing Joming suddenly said with annoyance on his face.
When Teacher Ma heard this… his face turned crimson. The truth is he did not notice it. With his high level as a Ki fighter, he should have noticed the different aura in the young man's head which signifies that he has an increase in wisdom. It was a testant that he has reached the 2nd level. Although it is not that visible to anyone, yet those in the higher level could notice that if they wanted to.
But how could Teacher Ma do so when he has a prejudice against the two students?
"You… you rascal! Who do you think you are?" Teacher Ma said while pointing at Qing Joming.
His aura suddenly increases and quickly suppresses Qing Joming's asly 1st-level Ki.
"What do you think you're doing?" This ti Teacher Hou's aura shattered that repressive aura of Teacher Ma.
"Teacher Ma, let remind you that as teachers we are not allowed to use our aura to suppress others, or would you like the headmaster to hear about this?" Teacher Hou said with an icy tone.
Teacher Ma suddenly showed a hostile expression on his face. He did not expect that he would be shad by a student in front of everyone. His mind quickly went to think of a way to get his pride back. Then suddenly he thought of sothing.
"Hehe… Since you said that you are already a 2nd level alchemist, then you should be aware of the wisdom challenge system of the alchemist association, right?" Teacher Ma said with a sneer.
When the teachers heard this, they all frown.
They are all aware of such a rule in the alchemist association. Wisdom challenge is a way for an alchemist to be tested of his ability and wisdom in creating potions. Two equally leveled alchemists would face each other in either theory in alchemy, or an alchemy battle.
"I will now post a challenge to you, young one… you are to battle one of my students who is also a 2nd level alchemist just like yourself. If I win, then you can get out of this academy… we do not need trash like you." Teacher Ma said with a grin.
Upon hearing this, the expression of Teacher Hou turned a bit angry. How could a shaless 4th level alchemist challenge so like this just to preserve his own pride?
This is far too shaless.
Qing Joming also was a bit stunned at the proposition, but since the challenge is raised he knew that he could not back out. Now he feels a bit worried about his own future and could not think straight as panic has already overco his heart.
Everyone in the room thinks that this is not a fair battle between students. Teacher Ma is a teacher in the 3rd year and the graduating classes, so how any of those students could not beat a re 1st year even though they are both in the sa level?
It was truly an unfair proposition. But they all knew that in the eyes of the alchemist association, the sa level ans the sa capability, so it is fair.
In the midst of these conflicting and worrying situations, a shy voice interrupted them all.
"And what if you lose?"
