Chapter 1105: Myrth: 75

(Unedited)

…

Ogden Academy, Alchemy class

Xin Ja is currently sitting while Qin Joming is talking beside him. That morning, Qing Joming acted like nothing had happened and treated Xin Ja as usual. So the atmosphere between the two friends is not that awkward.

Qing Joming even teases Xin Ja that their household is now one of the richest households in the town. The second sale of the Mules further gathered more people last night.

Although it is being kept a secret, Qin Joming knew about it... so, he is also elated about this.

The two stopped talking when they saw the classroom door opening, while the rest of the students in the class return to their seats.

Teacher Hou walks in and then looks at the behaving students. Her eyes landed on Xin Ja and she saw him nodding to her awkwardly.

She feels a bit amused at the young man's reaction and her heavy feeling when coming to class became light.

She began her lectures and the class soon transferred to the potion room.

Inside the room, the eyes of the many students are glowing in excitement they could not wait to learn more advanced potions and show off their skills.

Xin Ja at this time listened to the class but in his mind, he is trying to compare the things he has learned from his previous life, Shin Jiao, and what Teacher Hou is teaching. He could feel that there is a huge difference between pill concocting and potion-making.

In his conjecture, potions are just a part of making a pill. For example, in making a healing pill, one would first need to mix the materials and after mixing them, one would need to extract the pure essence from that mixture. That is why it needed to boil the mixture. And after extraction, one could already get the essence of the materials.

Now… in that part, are potions were created.

But for pills, one would not stop there. After refining and taking the essence, one would need to remove the substance that is not necessary that's why more heating is needed. Then he would mix a hardening agent which would preserve the essence, and from there one would start forming the pills.

Forming pills is really hard to do especially if one has no idea how to do it. But Xin Ja already knew the process, so he is familiar with it.

And so while people are in the laboratory, testing things and stuff, Xin Ja is on the side like a thief already thinking of trying his own concoction.

"Alright everyone… today we are going to try and create a healing potion… But since everyone is already proficient with low-grade ones we will do a step up and create a mid-grade healing potion…" Teacher Hou said with a crafty smile on her face.

When everyone heard this, they all immediately began to murmur.

"Teacher! We are just apprentices and first year at that. How could we make a mid-grade potion?" a young woman cried out.

Hou Anqing shifted her gaze at the young woman and showed indifference on her face.

"Your task from this day forth is to try and create a mid-grade healing potion. Those who can… will receive a passing grade… and those who could not... will fail…" she said with a crafty smile on her face.

When the students heard this they all immediately began to whine about it.

"Teacher! This is unfair! We might be alchemist apprentices, but we are not yet at that level. I have spent more of my time in the laboratory, but I was not able to create one even until now!" he complained.

"Haha… The reason why you are unable to do that is that you lack something. And that something is for you to find out." Hou Anqing said as she sits down and folded her arms.

Everyone looks at each other and then shakes their heads in helplessness. Some seem to have thought of something and a slight cunningness appears in their gaze, but others just look at the apparatus on the table with helplessness in their eyes.

"Hey… I know you know what the teacher is talking about… I'm your friend, right? You're going to help me… right?" Qing Joming suddenly whispered beside Xin Ja.

Xin Ja was a bit confused about the goal of Teacher Hou, but he did not mind about it. Hearing Qing Joming's words, Xin Ja just heaves a sigh and nodded his head.

Upon seeing this, Qing Joming showed a crafty smile and then nudge, Xin Ja's elbow.

"I know why you choose this seat… Hehe… If you can make another batch, let's sell it in the auction house…" Qing Joming said while rubbing both of his palms.

Last time, the two of them enjoy themselves after selling the pills, now he wanted to go back and have fun afterward again.

"Humph… You know what, if you really wanted to earn that much money, why don't I just teach you how to make them?..." Xin Ja said feeling helpless at this friend of his.

"Jeez… That is a tempting offer, but thank you… I still value my life after all…" he said with a smirk.

How could he learn the process of pill-making? If people knew about it… that would cause him too much trouble and could even trouble his closes kin. He did not want that kind of trouble.

So he is adamant to reject such a task to be given to him. He is already contented with making potions for his cousin and his demanding family members.

"Hey, don't worry… I will watch out for you. If the teacher shifts her attention towards us, then I will remind you, okay?" Qing Joming said with a chuckle.

Xin Ja could not help but roll his eyes.

At this time, Hou Anqing already has her sight on the two who are whispering on the side and laughing while the rest of their classmates are in a dilemma. She could not help but shake her head and just calmly observe the class and they began their alchemy practice.

At this time, Qing Joming takes some herbs from the center of the class and then went back to his seat. Beside him, Xin Ja is sitting while observing him begin the process of crafting a potion.

"Stop!… Now return the herb to the fire… The reason why you are unable to make a mid-grade potion is your lack of observation in the boiling process…" Xin Ja said with a frown.

Xin Ja began explaining how Qing Joming could observe the boiling process through timing and the amount of heat.

After learning from Shin Jiao's lesson, he has already grasped the timing for some of the basic pills. That is the reason why he is able to make mid-grade healing pills.

After his explanation, Qing Joming followed the timing and the process, and then soon he heard Xin Ja say something from beside him.

"Pour your Ki into the mixture…" although he was a bit startled he did so and soon saw that the mixture began to glow.

"Stop! Take it out…" listening to Xin Ja's words and as an experienced alchemist, Qing Joming is adept with his hands and timing.

So he was able to take out the concoction.

He quickly put a lid on the extract and then began shaking it.

After that, the concoction suddenly began to glow, from light silver to dim golden glow.

Qing Joming was surprised at this and almost let go of the test tube in his hand.

"This… this…" he was dumbfounded at what just happened.

He did not know why but he could feel a strange aura in his body and that he could feel some kind of familiarization and calmness in his mind. It was like he just broke through a certain bottleneck.

"You… what did you just do?" he said while looking at Xin Ja like he was looking at a monster.

In fact, at this time, Xin Ja is also very surprised upon seeing what is happening to his friend. Qing Joming's Ki is not increasing, but something within his body seems to be changing, this is true especially in his head.

"What… what just happened?" the two were interrupted by a student who seem to be standing behind them.

This time, Qing Joming and Xin Ja realized that almost all of the students in the class are standing behind them. They are looking at the two as if they were some kind of unique treasure.

How could they not feel excited?

Right now, they are looking at a 2nd level alchemist and a person who just taught him how.

So they are all feeling excited.

"That… that is a high-grade healing potion. How? How were you able to create that?" someone from the crowd suddenly said while pointing at the potion which is already resting on the test tube holder.

At this time, Teacher Hou already is standing near the table and checking the potion.

"Hmm… This is good… Qing Joming and Xin Ja, you two… come with me…" she said with a satisfied nod.

Everyone watches with envy and shrewdness as Qing Joming and Xin Ja left the potion room.. They saw it happen… it was all because of that quiet boy, Xin Ja.
