Chapter 93
Wei Yuan and the others searched the internal list of the Directorate of Celestials and the five immediate disciples of the director.
No, this white-robed man said ” young master Xu ” and not ” senior brother Xu “. The one who started the lecture was not a disciple of the Directorate of Celestials, but an outsider.
Xu ... Could it be ... The eldest princess’s eyes flickered. She had a bold guess in her heart and couldn’t wait to verify it.
At the same time, Wei Yuan’s eyes lit up with realization. He had a guess.
Song Qing had once told him that Xu Qi ‘an was a genius in alchemy. Wei Yuan didn’t pay much attention to it back then. After all, Song Qing was the best Alchemist in the Directorate of Celestials.
The genius he was talking about might only have an outstanding talent in alchemy, but he couldn’t be compared to the number one Alchemist. He was even called ” my master.
Wei Yuan looked at his two foster sons. Their faces and eyes were filled with confusion. Obviously, they did not connect young master Xu with Xu Qi ‘an. They had also forgotten what song Qing had said that day.
“Foster father, when did the Imperial astronomer produce a person with the surname Xu?” Nangong qianrou was in charge of intelligence and interrogation, so she was extremely sensitive to such people who had suddenly appeared.
Yang Yan, who didn’t like to talk, turned his head slightly and looked at Wei Yuan with a questioning look.
Although the two Jin gongs had forgotten song Qing’s evaluation of Xu Qi ‘an that day, they still remembered Jiang Luzhong’s words.
“You’ll know when you go upstairs,” Wei Yuan smiled.
The eldest Princess had already lifted the hem of her dress and was walking up the stairs gracefully. She was tall and had excellent proportions. Just her back view alone was infinitely beautiful.
She didn’t need to look at her face to know that she was a peerless beauty.
....
the essence of alchemy is an equivalent exchange.
The smart sorcerers in white answered his question with Xu Qi ‘an’s words.
“Extract the essence from things and turn waste into treasure.” There were also alchemists who answered based on their own experience.
The warlocks of the sixth rank and below did not answer and listened attentively. The alchemists of the sixth rank spoke one after another, giving their own understanding.
Most of the answers were one-sided and based on his own experience ... As for the guy who used my famous saying, he only knew a part of it and not the rest ... The Directorate of Celestials was indeed lacking in theoretical knowledge.
Xu Qi ‘an listened patiently, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
After the white-robed men finished their posts, they looked at Song Qing in unison.
Song Qing was the supervisor’s direct disciple and was also publicly acknowledged by the Directorate of Celestials as the number one Alchemist. He was immersed in the field of alchemy and refused to advance. He was only fascinated by alchemy and disdained the higher realms.
The other fourth and fifth stage apprentices were not as good as him in the field of alchemy.
Song Qing shook his head and sighed.
.... What did senior brother song mean? While the white-robed sorcerers were still confused, they heard Xu Qi ‘an clap his hands.
Everyone immediately turned their attention to the genius Alchemist.
Xu Qi ‘an looked into everyone’s eyes and sighed. in the entire Directorate of Celestials, in the field of alchemy, only senior brother song is worthy of my admiration. I see him as an expert that can be compared to me.
The white-robed Directorate of Celestials was filled with deep veneration.
Song Qing smiled and straightened his back.
Xu Qi ‘an continued. what senior brother song means is that everyone here is right, but not comprehensive. So, none of them are right.
Everyone revealed a thoughtful expression.
alchemy is a very broad field, ” Xu Qi ‘an said. everyone here might know a little about it, but it’s still vague and general ... “En, originally, I only promised senior brother Song Qing that I would teach you one piece of knowledge. In the end, senior brother Song Qing wanted me to return the favor with interest. Then, I’ll teach you more, more widely, and more thoroughly.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the white-robed warlocks lit up.
“Thank you, senior brother song, thank you, young master Xu.”
“Young master Xu, please start. I can’t wait.”
The sound waves became noisy and reached the ears of the eldest Princess, who was on the seventh floor. She stopped and did not go in immediately. Instead, from a distance, she looked at the young man standing in front of the table, pointing at the proud warlocks and writing.
Xu Qi ‘an, it was him!
Wei Yuan paused at the same time. When he saw Xu Qi ‘an, his expression froze for a moment before returning to normal.
When Wei Yuan stopped, the feminine Nangong qianrou and the expressionless Yang Yan looked past the eldest Princess and Wei Yuan’s shoulders and saw Xu Qi ‘an.
So Jiang Luzhong was telling the truth ... Yang Yan stared at Xu Qi ‘an for a moment, then nodded slightly.
This Gong could only be under his command, and no one could snatch it from him.
Nangong qianrou had wanted to go in and listen to what the brat was going to say, but when she noticed that the eldest Princess and her foster father had no intention of disturbing her, she held back and stayed where she was.
Xu Qi ‘an said, ” the essence of alchemy is an equivalent exchange. This is the principle of outline, but it is not about image. Only a master alchemist like senior brother Song Qing can understand the true meaning of this sentence. Today, I will go from simple to deep. Everyone, listen to me slowly.
“When it comes to alchemy, outsiders will subconsciously think of immortal pills and potions. Those who know a little more will definitely think of this ...” At this point, Xu Qi ‘an pointed at the simple jewelry between li Caiwei’s Black hair.”Metal!”
The white-robed warlocks nodded slightly.
“What I want to tell you is that these are only two fields of alchemy.The field of medicine, the field of materials. Most alchemists only studied these two fields, and would occasionally jump into other fields. However, senior brother song’s gaze is already in another independent realm.”
The white-robed warlocks immediately looked at Song Qing. Song Qing was stunned. It was as if he had found a confidant, and his eyes suddenly became fiery.
He knew that Xu Qi ‘an was going to focus on his field of grafting creatures.
Perhaps this lecture would be an important step for him in the new field of alchemy.
At the thought of this, Song Qing’s breathing quickened.
Outside, the eldest Princess and Wei Yuan couldn’t help but look at Song Qing. They were no strangers to this weird disciple of the supervisor.
She knew that he was always fiddling with some terrifying alchemy, and was even imprisoned because of it.
...
Was Xu Qi ‘an’s alchemy skills really that profound? To guide Song Qing?
Senior brother Song Qing’s research direction is in the field of biology. “That’s right,” Xu Qi ‘an said,”alchemy doesn’t only work on dead things. Living things are also part of the field of alchemy.”
A white-robed sorcerer stood up and said in a deep voice, “”Young master Xu, teacher Jian Zheng said that life is not within the scope of alchemy.”
Although he admired Xu Qi ‘an’s achievements in the field of alchemy, these words went against teacher Jian Zheng’s admonishments and went against his philosophy.
The other white-robed warlocks also had doubtful and unconvinced looks on their faces.
The eldest Princess turned her head and looked at Wei Yuan with a questioning look. The latter smiled and said softly, “”I agree with the supervisor.”
The eldest Princess nodded and looked at Xu Qi ‘an again.
Let’s see what he has to say.
“That’s because senior brother Song Qing’s method was wrong, so the supervisor criticized him. However, he is heading in the right direction.” Xu Qi ‘an said.
Of course, he wouldn’t argue with the supervisor. Even if he won the debate, if the old man was unhappy and couldn’t be coaxed, he would kill him with a slap. Who could he cry to then?
When Song Qing heard this, he was very unconvinced, but he did not refute. He patiently listened to what he had to say next.
...
“Let’s try to recall. We extract metals from ores;Extracting harder metals from the metals;Concoct medicinal pills from medicinal herbs. However, we can’t extract the medicine from the metal, and we can’t extract the metal from the herbs.” “Why?” Xu Qi ‘an kept her guessing.
“Herbs are herbs, and ores are ores. Young master Xu’s question is strange.”
haha, if we can extract metal from medicinal herbs, doesn’t that mean we can extract gold and silver from white rice? ”
In the eyes of the white-robed sorcerers, Xu Qi ‘an’s question seemed to be asking, “Why did the sun rise from the East, why would people starve to death if they didn’t eat?Why were there 24 hours in a day?
The white-robed sorcerers whispered to each other, but Song Qing seemed to have vaguely touched on something. The white-robed junior brothers ‘argument made his mind a mess, and he was unable to calm down and think.
“Pa!”
no! Song Qing slammed the table and stood up. purge!
After that, his face turned red and his breathing became rapid. He stared at Xu Qi ‘an and said, you say it, quickly say it!!
The white-robed sorcerers stopped talking. They had rarely seen senior brother song like this. At the same time, they realized that what Xu Qi ‘an was talking about was truly profound alchemy knowledge.
Xu Qi ‘an’s gaze swept past the white-robed men and landed on Wei Yuan. His heart sank.
.... F * ck, I was just trying to show off when I was surrounded by the leaders ... Xu Qi ‘an instinctively felt a sense of resistance. It was a kind of guilty conscience.
The sorcerers of the Directorate of Celestials were like a group of rigorous otakus who only paid attention to alchemy itself, not its origin.
Even if they felt suspicious, they would automatically ignore it. As long as they could learn profound alchemy, they didn’t care about anything else.
Wei Yuan was different. He was a politician, a strategist, and a strategist. He was a smart man with many halos above his head.
Smart people tend to overthink.
Xu Qi ‘an’s strategy for the white-robed sorcerer was to show off in front of the public, and the more exaggerated he was, the better. His strategy was to show his loyalty to Wei Yuan and act like a harmless little brat within a reasonable range.
The current situation was obviously not a small act, but a straight line.
Wei Yuan nodded at Xu Qi ‘an.
“Phew ... From another perspective, showing off your value in front of the leaders is also an effective way to gain attention and increase your bargaining chips!”
Xu Qi ‘an took a deep breath, cleared his mind of all distracting thoughts, and focused on the class.
