Battle Through the Heavens: I'm Just an Alchemist

Chapter 21 Going to School

Nangong Wuxin placed a white jade box on the counter, gently opened it, and a fragrant aroma of purple pills wafted out.

The shop owner swallowed hard, his eyes widening instantly.

"Could this be... a top-grade fourth-rank pill, the Purple Heart Breakthrough Pill, comparable to a fifth-rank pill!"

"Excellent. May I use this pill to pay the bill?"

"Of course, no problem! This pill is worth 1.3 million gold coins, and I'll give you a discount on these medicinal herbs, 800,000 gold coins each. Is that acceptable, sir?"

The shop owner gritted his teeth. These kinds of pills that directly improve cultivation have always been in short supply; even if you had the money, you couldn't buy them anywhere.

Especially for someone as powerful as him, if such a pill were placed in front of him, even if the other party was a bit greedy and asked for 1.5 million, he would still take it.

It might not fetch such a high price at an auction, but no one will compete with you for it. Once you get the money, the elixir is yours.

These are all about human relationships and social customs.

Nangong Wuxin was not surprised; he had experienced this kind of thing more than once.

He raised his finger, gently pushed the pill away, put away the 500,000 gold coin card, and turned to leave.

"This is yours."

"Oh, thank you, sir. Please take care..." The shopkeeper carefully took the pill and put it away.

See? Even so, I still have to say thank you. This shows how rare pills that can improve cultivation are!

As night fell, the four people, having spent the afternoon exploring Canaan, returned to the castle, completely satisfied.

Inside the restaurant, the long table was filled with all sorts of food they had bought.

After eating and drinking to your heart's content, it's time to rest, take a bath, and sleep.

Whether it was the two months of boring journey or the novel journey of this day, they were exhausted and needed a good rest.

In the quiet night, Jingni was still thinking about what had happened that morning.

"Nangong Jing, someone like me now has an identity, Master..."

As the first rays of sunlight shone into the room, Nangong Wuxin, who had been fast asleep all night, opened her eyes.

Fully energized, I got dressed and went downstairs, only to find Zi Nu already preparing breakfast.

"Ah Zi, you're up so early. Have you rested well?"

"Owner."

After clearly recognizing her master's power yesterday, Zi Nu's respect for Nangong Wuxin reached a new level.

"Thinking about going to school today, I felt a little excited, so I got up a little earlier."

"Hehe, I'm just as excited as Azi!"

After glancing at the time, Zi Nu went upstairs to wake up that lazybones.

"Ugh! Damn it, I'm not a lazy pig!"

"Hmph, we almost arrived late on the first day because of you! If you're not a lazy pig, who is?"

The group arrived at the academy amidst much bickering.

After making some inquiries, Nangong Wuxin sent them to the class where Balin was.

"Mr. Heartless, you've arrived!"

"Hehe, Professor Baling, please take good care of these three."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. Mr. Wuxin, I have prepared the medicinal herbs. I wonder when would be a convenient time for you..." Balin rubbed his hands, somewhat embarrassed.

"Let's do it tonight, just come with them."

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Wuxin."

"It's nothing."

After watching Nangong Wuxin leave, Balin looked at the three young ladies.

As long as he takes good care of them, he'll surely reap the rewards.

……

Alchemy Department.

Because of the noble status of alchemists on the Dou Qi Continent, the alchemy department is a special existence independent of the inner and outer academies.

The classrooms where the alchemy students had their classes were far superior to any classrooms I had seen before.

On the campus, which spans hundreds of thousands of square meters, a significant number of young people wear badges that symbolize their alchemist rank, and many others wear alchemist robes.

There was none of the arrogance of the alchemists outside in his eyes, probably because this was the alchemy department, where there was no shortage of alchemists.

Nangong Wuxin, dressed in a fifth-grade alchemist's robe, was seen by countless people along the way. After arriving at the alchemy department, he could clearly feel the change in the gazes directed at him.

If the gazes of those people before were simply one of awe and respect, then the gazes of these alchemy students were one of worship.

Upon arriving at the department head's office, Nangong Wuxin met his mentor.

The latest novel is first published here!

As a fifth-grade alchemist, he could thrive anywhere. The elders of Canaan Academy couldn't be so brain-dead as to let him go and chat with third- or fourth-grade alchemists.

Therefore, the only person qualified to be Nangong Wuxin's mentor in the alchemy department is Elder Huo, who is a sixth-grade alchemist.

Well, just a mentor, not a master and apprentice; a sixth-grade alchemist is still too much of a stretch.

dong dong dong.

"tutor."

"Wuxin, you're here for class today, aren't you going to look around a bit more?"

"Canaan City is right here, it can't be moved. But my mentor's time is extremely precious, how could I dare keep him waiting?"

"You... if there were a genius like you in the alchemy department, I would gladly teach you every day."

Elder Huo shook his head. This kid really didn't know what a sixteen-year-old fifth-grade alchemist meant.

If he had such talent, would that old bastard Mang Tianchi have been able to persuade him to join?

Go dream!

As long as he continues to cultivate normally in the future, reaching the eighth-grade Grandmaster realm is inevitable. Such a person is even more esteemed than a Dou Zun powerhouse.

Elder Huo shook his head. Perhaps this was the reason why he had achieved so much at such a young age. Besides his talent, he also had a genuine passion for alchemy.

Despite already being a fifth-grade alchemy master, he still seemed like an alchemy apprentice, with an endless thirst for knowledge.

"Hehe, the student will surpass the teacher, who knows, there might be students who are even more talented than me in the future, then the mentor will be very busy."

Nangong Wuxin naturally had to maintain respect for Douhuang-level experts.

Upon arriving in the Dou Qi Continent, he kept the words "In the Dou Qi Continent, the strong are respected" in his heart at all times.

Elder Huo quickly began his lecture. His lesson plan for Nangong Wuxin was naturally different from that for the other students.

Furthermore, Elder Huo already knew about Nangong Wuxin's peculiar hobby: he enjoyed refining different kinds of pills and creating his own unique ones.

Such a quirk is perfectly normal for an alchemist.

Coincidentally, the Canaan Academy's alchemy department has no shortage of strange and unusual pill formulas!

While you might not come across formulas for pills of grade eight or higher, the sheer variety of formulas available is unmatched, even by the collections of a grade eight grandmaster.

This is the foundation of the number one academy on the Dou Qi Continent!

At the same time, this was also one of the "bait" that attracted Nangong Wuxin to enroll in the school.
