Upon seeing this, Leng Qianshan clicked his tongue in amazement, feeling a great deal of emotion.

It is true that the new generation pushes the old generation forward!

What a terrifying future life!

Without waiting for the result, seeing Jiang Che's orderly and skillful control over the proportions of each medicinal herb, Leng Qianshan had already anticipated the outcome.

The so-called layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Such skillful alchemy techniques could not be acquired without decades of experience in alchemy; refining a fourth-grade Rejuvenation Pill would be a piece of cake for him.

If he remembered correctly, this Jiang Zhenchuan was only twenty years old this year. How did he manage to possess such skillful alchemy techniques?

Even if one were to begin learning alchemy directly from the womb, it would probably be impossible to achieve this!

Looking back, when he was twenty years old, he had only just begun his journey into alchemy and had become a first-grade alchemist.

It's true what they say, comparing goods makes you want to throw them away, and comparing people makes you so angry!

Haiyue crossed her arms over her chest, supporting her large, soft ribs, and observed Jiang Che's every move with great interest.

Although she was not skilled in alchemy and rarely dabbled in it, as a cultivator at the peak of the Mahayana stage, Haiyue naturally had a broad perspective and held the same views as Leng Qianshan.

With such effortless and skillful technique, Haiyue had no more doubts about Jiang Che's identity as a fourth-grade alchemist. Her brows furrowed slightly as a multitude of thoughts welled up within her.

Jiang Che is so confident, and he has also shown the corresponding talent. Could it be that he can really improve his alchemy skills to the ninth grade within three years and then refine a heaven-defying pill that can help him restore his cultivation?

The thought crossed Haiyue's mind, and she felt it was utterly absurd.

If this had happened to someone else, Haiyue would never have believed it, thinking the other person was just making things up.

But when it came to Jiang Che, she couldn't help but want to believe it. After all, she had witnessed all sorts of amazing things about Jiang Che over this period of time, and he was beyond the comprehension of ordinary reasoning.

Haiyue and Leng Qianshan, each with their own thoughts, were both intently observing Jiang Che's every move.

........................

Half an hour later, after all the spiritual herbs had been melted down and the pills had taken shape, Jiang Che let out a long breath, took down two pills that were floating in the air, emitting an alluring fragrance and crystal clear, and handed them to Hai Yue and Leng Qianshan respectively, before putting away the Xuanhuang Cauldron.

"Teacher, elder, please take a look..."

The first time refining a Grade 4 Rejuvenation Pill took quite a bit of time. With this successful experience, the time cost will be greatly reduced next time.

"That's right... it's a Grade 4 Rejuvenation Pill, and its quality is extremely good!"

After examining the pills in his hand, Leng Qianshan nodded with a smile, stroked his white beard, and looked at Jiang Che with undisguised admiration and amazement.

If Jiang Che's alchemy skills hadn't already reached the fourth rank, with considerable skill comparable to his own, he would have shamelessly accepted Jiang Che as his disciple.

This thought flashed through Leng Qianshan's mind for a moment, but he quickly put it out of his mind.

Putting aside the fact that Jiang Che could never become his disciple, even if he did, Leng Qianshan wouldn't have much to teach him.

To teach a genius like Jiang Che, one must be a sage in the Dao of Alchemy, someone who has immersed themselves in the Dao of Alchemy for many years, or at the very least a seventh-grade alchemist. He is not qualified enough.

Although there is only one grade difference between a sixth-grade alchemist and a seventh-grade alchemist, the gap between them is like an insurmountable chasm.

He has devoted himself to the study of alchemy for hundreds of years and has been a sixth-grade alchemist for a century, but he has not yet found an opportunity to advance further or to fully understand the realm of a seventh-grade alchemist.

Without other opportunities, I'm afraid I'll remain stuck here for the rest of my life, unable to make any further progress.

Alchemy and cultivation are similar; the later stages become increasingly difficult. A cultivator who breaks through a minor realm every few hundred years can be considered a genius, and the same applies to alchemy.

Jiang Che, an unparalleled genius in alchemy, was someone he had never heard of or seen before.

.....................

"You have indeed not disappointed me..."

A faint smile bloomed on Haiyue's pretty face, and her gaze toward Jiang Che became increasingly satisfied, a mixture of doting and gratified emotions, making her gaze even gentler.

The more powerful Jiang Che's talent becomes, the more unpredictable his future achievements will be.

As Jiang Che's teacher, Haiyue was naturally very proud to have cultivated such a talented disciple.

The eyesight of this lunar deity has always been so excellent!

He was able to discover Jiang Che's extraordinary qualities before anyone else!

"Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Haiyue smiled gently, her voice soft and gentle, a stark contrast to her previous aloof and arrogant demeanor.

"This disciple has no desired reward..."

Jiang Che shook his head and answered truthfully.

The storage ring that Haiyue had just given her contained all sorts of cultivation techniques, cultivation resources, high-grade spirit stones, rare and precious materials, and miraculous elixirs.

The quantity was so large that he could squander it for three to five years, which was enough to support his breakthrough to the Void Refinement Realm.

"If I say I'll reward you, then I will..."

"Here, take this..."

Regardless of whether Jiang Che wanted it or not, Hai Yue waved her hand and handed a piece of celestial stone to Jiang Che.

"Teacher, this..."

Jiang Che's mind stirred, and his gaze subconsciously fell on the obsidian stone in his hand. As a veritable peak Xuan-rank weapon refiner, Jiang Che could naturally see the extraordinary nature of this stone.

It is the perfect 527 material for forging divine weapons, the kind that is extremely rare in the world!

With this obsidian stone, once Jiang Che's weapon-refining skills are upgraded to the Heavenly Rank, he is fully confident that he can make his Jinghong Sword undergo an ultimate transformation and become a genuine Heavenly Rank Immortal Sword!

This obsidian comes from the depths of space and is not a product of the King's Continent. It is said that it can only be produced in the black hole void on the other side of the deep space, and it is something that countless weapon refiners dream of.

Jiang Che was somewhat taken aback by Haiyue's unexpected gift; it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted.

This obsidian stone is quite large. If we gather other rare and precious materials, we can forge at least three peerless immortal swords that are ranked in the Heavenly Rank!

"This obsidian stone was something I obtained by chance when I traveled through the universe and crossed the other side of deep space. It is an excellent material for refining weapons, and I am now giving it to you..."

"When you are able to forge a celestial sword with your own hands in the future, there will always be a day when it comes in handy..."

Haiyue glanced at the obsidian stone in Jiang Che's hand, and then spoke eloquently, giving Jiang Che a general explanation.

She herself was quite accomplished in the art of formations, and had no interest in other secondary professions of cultivation. Keeping such a rare treasure would be a waste, so she might as well give it to her good disciple.

In fact, Haiyue had this idea when she first learned about Jiang Che's talent for weapon crafting, but she was just waiting for the right opportunity.

Leng Qianshan, standing to the side, looked at Jiang Che with envy and offered words of comfort.

"Jiang Zhenchuan, since the Dean has such a kind intention, you should just accept it. That way, you won't waste the Dean's good intentions, will you?"

Although he had no knowledge of weapon crafting, Leng Qianshan understood the rarity of this obsidian stone. Seeing Haiyue give it to Jiang Che without a second thought, he was naturally very envious.

Moreover, have these two become so close already?

If I heard correctly, Jiang Che referred to himself as a disciple, which means that the Dean is his master.

What a blessing!

Since the academy was established three years ago, Haiyue has been kind to all the disciples. Usually, it is the elders who manage and teach them. He had never seen Haiyue treat any disciple so well before, and he even saw a smile on his face.

Although Haiyue's smile was beautiful and captivating, Leng Qianshan felt a sudden chill run down his spine...

After all, this is completely different from Haiyue's usual image.

I accidentally stumbled upon the Dean's secret. Is this woman going to kill me to keep quiet?

Leng Qianshan's mind raced for a moment; he was already prepared to flee at any time...

"This disciple thanks the teacher..."

Jiang Che didn't refuse and gladly accepted it, taking it all with him. His gratitude towards Haiyue grew even stronger.

Since she has been treated so well, I must respect her and honor her teachings in the future, and repay Haiyue for her kindness!

I must give you my full support and assistance, otherwise I will truly be letting down Haiyue for nurturing me!

...........................................

112: I see Guanyin and Guanzizai, I see my true self!

"Elder Leng, you may leave now..."

Haiyue reverted to her aloof and unapproachable demeanor, glancing at Leng Qianshan beside her, and spoke in a cold voice.

She only came to the academy as the dean on a whim, and apart from Jiang Che and Wang Zhaojun, there was no one else in the entire academy that she cared about.

Leng Qianshan:…………

She's all gentle and tender towards Jiang Che, but so cold and indifferent towards this old guy of hers?

Good grief, do you have to be so hypocritical!

Leng Qianshan cursed inwardly for a few moments, gave Jiang Che a meaningful look, and then bowed and left.

He had long wanted to leave this place of trouble and didn't want to stay a second longer, so he was naturally overjoyed to hear Haiyue's request.

.....................

"Master, if there's nothing else, this disciple will take his leave now..."

"This disciple plans to travel to the Great Wall for some training in a few days. I need to return and make further preparations to seek a breakthrough..."

After Leng Qianshan left, Jiang Che pondered for a moment, then submitted his resignation to Haiyue and explained that he would be going to the Great Wall for training in a couple of days.

Jiang Che's reason for calling Haiyue "Master" instead of "Teacher" was not a simple slip of the tongue, but a deliberate act.

The concepts of "teacher" and "master" are equivalent and have the same meaning, so it is perfectly acceptable for me to address myself as such, and it will even feel more exciting!

"Going to the Great Wall for training?"

Why did you suddenly decide to go there?

Haiyue frowned slightly, her gaze hesitant as she looked at Jiang Che in front of her, and asked curiously.

Haiyue naturally noticed the issue of how Jiang Che addressed her, but she didn't bother to argue about it.

In her view, whether it's a master or a teacher, they are essentially the same concept, since they are both teaching disciples.

"My cultivation has progressed too quickly, and I lack corresponding combat experience. That's why I want to go to the Great Wall to train and increase my combat experience. I can also hunt monsters and collect crystal cores for future use in alchemy or weapon crafting..."

"Furthermore, I've heard that after Ragnarok, most of the ancient gods perished in the Cloud Desert, so I'd like to go and try my luck..."
