I flew on a sword at the magic academy

Chapter 67 East-West Combined Fire Transport Technique

Perhaps fearing that Kalman wouldn't understand, Shi Daohan offered an even simpler and easier-to-understand explanation.

"Have you ever played games? This magic power is like the mana needed to unleash skills in a game. As your realm and cultivation level increase, your mana bar also grows higher and higher. Do you understand now?"

Kalman nodded, now roughly understanding what magic was and what it did.

"You've only just embarked on the path of cultivation, so there's no need to rush to improve your level. Laying a solid foundation is the most important thing. These are books that I've translated. Once you've read them all thoroughly, you won't need me to explain some basic common sense anymore."

Shi Daohan gave some translated books to Kalman, wanting him to know some basic common sense about the path of cultivation, so that when he wanted to teach him something else next time, he wouldn't have to spend so much time explaining.

After leaving Kalman, Shi Daohan returned to Mount Saint Daga and went straight to the Herb Garden.

The moonlight was cold and clear. A thatched hut had been erected in the herb garden, where the black bear leader lay fast asleep.

Sensing someone approaching the herb garden, it instantly woke up and, without caring who it was, pounced on them with its claws outstretched.

"bite"

With a flick of his finger, Shi Daohan froze the black bear leader in mid-air, his body stiff as if petrified, unable to move.

"Trying to rebel, huh?" Shi Daohan glanced at it and chuckled as he cursed.

She removed the restraints with a backhand motion, and the black bear leader fell heavily from mid-air with a "bang," kicking up a cloud of dust.

"roar!"

The black bear leader roared angrily, but after seeing that the person who came was Shi Daohan, he immediately lost his temper and trotted over like a kitten, rubbing his head against her thigh.

Shi Daohan walked straight towards the medicinal herb field to check on the growth of the medicinal herbs.

"I've been handling these medicinal herbs exactly as you instructed, so I haven't done anything wrong, have I?" the black bear leader asked somewhat nervously.

"You did a great job. From now on, just do as I tell you," Shi Daohan replied with a smile.

"I don't know what happened a few days ago, it was like the end of the world was coming."

The Spirit Herb Garden is located halfway up the mountain of Mount Sintajam. On the night that Shi Dao Han Chong Guan Xu Shen Jing was there, it was naturally also greatly affected.

Although it did not cause any substantial damage, the faint but terrifying aura it created was incredibly frightening. The black bear leader cowered in the corner of the hut, spending a long night in fear and unease.

After listening to the black bear leader's description, Shi Daohan laughed and thought that if he were to attempt a breakthrough or tribulation in the future, he would have to leave Horagaka Academy and find a secluded place to do so, so as not to frighten innocent people.

"You live here?" Shi Daohan looked at the simple thatched hut not far away.

"yes."

The black bear leader nodded, proudly raising his head, and said, "I built this myself."

"It's too shabby." Shi Daohan shook her head. Although the Black Bear leader wasn't human and didn't have high requirements for his accommodations, they were now following her. How could their accommodations be so simple and shabby? If others saw this, they would think she was mistreating her subordinates.

Thinking of this, Shi Daohan raised his hand and summoned a seven-story pavilion from among the many palaces and towers not far away, saying, "This will be your residence from now on. You can also bring your wife, children, and elderly parents with you, so you won't be too lonely."

The black bear leader helps her take care of the spiritual herbs in the spiritual herb garden, breathing in the rich spiritual energy all day long. It's only a matter of time before it transforms into a human. This pavilion is a preparation for its future transformation.

"Work hard, follow me, and I'll definitely treat you well."

After giving a brief explanation, Shi Daohan returned to the mountaintop.

The next day, in a teaching building in the Kuisang Academy, the Libyan academician came to teach his alchemy class as usual, but when he saw Shi Daohan sitting in the classroom, his expression froze.

Why did Shi Daohan suddenly show up for his class today after avoiding him for so many days?

Something unusual is bound to happen. The Libyan academician looked at Shi Daohan warily and said, "Didn't Dean Donaldson already approve that you would only teach one class a month? Have you changed your mind?"

"No."

Shi Daohan shook his head, smiling innocently, and said, "I came here specifically to see Academician Libya."

"Did they come specifically to see me?" The Libyan academician's vigilance intensified.

Shi Daohan pointed to the door and said, "It's not convenient to talk here. Shall we speak in private?"

The Libyan academician, filled with suspicion, looked at all the students below the podium and said, "You can study on your own for the rest of the class. I'm going out for a bit."

After giving his instructions, he put down the magic book and ran quickly out of the classroom, catching up with Shi Daohan's retreating figure.

The once quiet classroom suddenly erupted in chaos as all the students began to discuss it.

"What do you think this exchange student from the ancient East would want from the Libyan academician?"

"Who knows? But as far as I know, the Libyan academician has been thinking about that strange furnace that Shi Daohan used to refine the antidote pill last time."

"It's not just the Libyan academician. I've also been eyeing the strange flame that Shi Daohan used when he was refining the antidote pill. Unfortunately, Shi Daohan only sold it to the Libyan academician. I can't buy it even if I want to."

…………

After leaving the teaching building, the Libyan academician led Shi Daohan to a dimly lit basement. However, once dozens of kerosene lamps were lit one after another, the room became much brighter.

"Alright, now you can tell me what you wanted to see me about, right?" The Libyan academician looked at Shi Daohan.

Shi Daohan didn't keep them in suspense and said, "Professor Donaldson should have told you about the auction I'm going to hold at the academy, right?"

"I've already said it, and the people in the academic affairs office don't have any objections." The Libyan academician nodded.

"I'd like to entrust you with the arrangements for the venue and related matters of this auction."

"I?"

The Libyan academician was greatly surprised, never expecting that Shi Daohan would entrust him with such an important matter.

Shi Daohan smiled charmingly and said, "As the saying goes, if you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them. I believe the Libyan academician will do a great job and won't let me down, right?"

The Libyan academician was taken aback upon hearing this, but still nodded in agreement.

"By the way, will you also put that furnace you used when you were refining pills last time up for auction?" The Libyan academician asked the question that he was most concerned about.

Shi Daohan was speechless. Why was this guy still thinking about her alchemy furnace?

"It's not for auction. I've already said that this is the only alchemy furnace I have. It's not for sale now, so don't even think about it anymore," Shi Daohan said righteously.

The Libyan academician looked visibly disappointed; he hadn't expected that what he was most interested in wasn't among the items up for auction.

"By the way, did you keep the Crimson Sun Heart Flame that I sold to you before?" Shi Daohan suddenly asked.

The Libyan academician nodded. After obtaining the Crimson Sun Heart Flame, he pondered for a long time but still didn't know how to use it. In the end, he could only put it in his storage room.

These past few days he had been searching for Shi Daohan, not only to get a closer look at the alchemy furnace, but also to ask how to use the Crimson Sun Heart Flame.

Unfortunately, the latter treated him like a plague god and kept avoiding him.

It was only because Shi Daohan took the initiative to show up today that he finally found an opportunity to ask questions.

"The Crimson Sun Heart Flame can only be controlled with magical power, but you are not a cultivator and your Qi circulation is not yet open. Where would you get the magical power to control it? Naturally, you can only watch helplessly," Shi Daohan explained unhurriedly.

"Huh? Does that mean I spent so many magic stones just to buy a decoration?!" the Libyan academician exclaimed.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

Shi Daohan smiled and comforted him, "I pondered for a long time last night and finally made some modifications to the Fire Transporting Spell, combining it with your Western magic spells. Now, this modified Fire Transporting Spell can be used without magic power."

"So what?" the Libyan academician asked, puzzled.

[I've already put it so bluntly, don't you understand?]

Shi Daohan was somewhat speechless, but he still patiently explained, "After the revision, the Fire Manipulation Technique can be used without magic power. In other words, even if you are not a cultivator like us, you can use that Crimson Sun Heart Fire to refine medicine."

"Really?!" The Libyan academician's eyes regained their sparkle, and he looked at Shi Daohan with excitement.

"Of course it's true. With my revised Fire Manipulation Technique, you can use the Crimson Sun Heart Flame I gave you last time to refine pills and medicines."

Despite his excitement, the Libyan academician seized upon a flaw in Shi Daohan's words and earnestly corrected him, "It was a sale! Not a gift! I bought it for a thousand magic stones!"

"Oh, none of that matters. I see you seem quite interested in alchemy, so I'll satisfy your curiosity and demonstrate the process again for you."

As he spoke, Shi Daohan raised his hand and waved it, and more than a dozen medicinal herbs appeared out of thin air on the ground.

The Libyan academician's gaze fell on the ring on Shi Daohan's hand, knowing that it was a sacred artifact similar to a magic pocket that could store things.

[The methods of ancient Eastern cultivators are truly novel and interesting.] The Libyan academician murmured to himself.

His gaze then fell on the medicinal herbs that Shi Daohan had taken out, many of which he had never seen before.

As the chief academician of the Kuisang Academy, he naturally has no resistance to medicinal herbs.

The Libyan academician approached, picked up a piece of medicinal material that resembled a leaf but was crystal clear and as thin as a cicada's wing, examined it carefully, and then carefully put it back, handling it gently, as if afraid of damaging it by accident.

On the other side, Shi Daohan took out the purple-patterned alchemy furnace that the Libyan academician had been longing for from his storage ring.

"Whoosh!"

A ball of blue flame flickered and danced in her palm, instantly raising the temperature in the basement by tens of degrees, making it unbearably hot.

The Libyan academician recognized it as the strange flame that Shi Daohan had displayed when he refined the antidote pill last time; it seemed to be called Azure Dragon Flame.

Although he had already obtained a wisp of Crimson Sun Heart Flame, he still felt that the flame in Shi Daohan's hand was even more powerful.

"Whoosh!"

With a flick of her wrist, Shi Daohan sent the Azure Dragon Flame landing beneath the Purple Patterned Alchemy Furnace. Wisps of fire, like swimming dragons, could be seen seeping into the furnace.

Shi Daohan added various medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace one by one, and the Libyan academician moved closer, not wanting to miss any step.

Amidst the swirling spiritual light, some verdant medicinal herbs fell into the alchemy furnace, slowly turning dry and withered, eventually being burned into powder by wisps of fire.

It was faintly visible that the herbs had been scorched, gradually turning from their initial emerald green to dry yellow and withered, and then turning into a pile of powder. Some herbs turned into liquid, sticking the powder together.

During this process, the numerous patterns and runes engraved on the purple-patterned alchemy furnace seemed to come alive, shimmering and radiant.

The Libyan academician didn't dare blink, afraid that he would miss a crucial detail if he did.

Through the openwork patterns of the alchemy furnace, one can see wisps of green flames, like swimming dragons, being guided by Shi Daohan to combine the powder and liquid inside the furnace, just like human hands.

"The most important thing in alchemy is patience, because sometimes it takes several months or even years to refine a single pill. Without patience, it is impossible to succeed," Shi Daohan said.

"It's been that long?" The Libyan academician was surprised. He was patient, but he couldn't possibly wait here with Shi Daohan for months. He still had classes to attend!

Shi Daohan glanced at him: "I'm only refining a calming pill right now, it won't take long."

About half an hour later, all the light receded back into the alchemy furnace, and the basement was filled with a rich medicinal fragrance that made people feel comfortable and refreshed, sweeping away all fatigue.

With a flick of her wrist, Shi Daohan retrieved the Azure Dragon and Azure Flame, which then disappeared into her fair, jade-like hand.

"It's done?" The Libyan academician was somewhat surprised. He had been prepared to wait for several hours or even a day, but he didn't expect it to be done so quickly.

Shi Daohan opened the lid of the alchemy furnace, and at the same time, with a flick of her wrist, a dark gray, glossy pill flew back and landed in her hand.

"Let me see it quickly!" The Libyan academician eagerly stretched out his hands.

While both involve alchemy, the East and West employ two completely different methods and processes.

The Libyan academician carefully accepted the tranquilizer from Shi Daohan's hand, treating it as a precious treasure.

"Can I buy this pill?"

The Libyan academician looked up at Shi Daohan, his eyes filled with hope.

"Don't talk about selling or not selling, that's too formal. Since the Libyan academician likes it, then I'll give it to you!" Shi Daohan waved his hand generously.

The Libyan academician didn't stand on ceremony with her. He stared at the pill in his hand for a long time before carefully putting it away. However, his gaze fell on the purple-patterned alchemy furnace next to Shi Daohan, his eyes burning with desire.
