Battle Through the Heavens: I'm Just an Alchemist

Chapter 22: Drawing a Pie in the Sky?

Elder Huo's approach to teaching Nangong Wuxin was semi-hands-off.

Because this kid's alchemy skills are truly exceptional; even a sixth-grade alchemist like myself can't find any fault with them, so I can only let him run wild.

After all, he had seen many geniuses in this academy and knew that the best way to help them was to provide them with sufficient resources and not interfere recklessly.

For Nangong Wuxin, the collection of alchemy books was an eye-opener. When he saw those pill formulas that he had never seen before, he was like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar!

After looking at the attribute panel, Nangong Wuxin felt that he could start to make up for his shortcomings.

On the other side, Balin gasped when he saw the battle qi gauze robes and battle qi armor worn by the three old ladies.

So it really is true!

"Mr. Wuxin, you've really given me a wonderful surprise, hehe..."

Now, advancing to the Xuan-rank instructor level will definitely be no problem.

……

Immersed in alchemy, Nangong Wuxin sensed the change in light and was brought back to his senses, only to find that it was already dark.

Remembering his promise to Balin, Nangong Wuxin patted his head, quickly packed his things, and left the quiet room.

Yes, he refines elixirs at home.

As soon as I stepped out the door, I saw Bahrain downstairs, looking rather awkward and waiting.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Professor Baling."

"No, no, I just arrived too." When Balin saw Nangong Wuxin coming down, he quickly stood up.

"It's been a long time since I've seen so many pill formulas that I haven't seen before. I lost track of time." Nangong Wuxin explained simply, after all, he was an elder of the academy, and there was no need to make things too awkward.

Upon hearing this, Balin quickly replied, "Perhaps it is precisely because of your habits that you have achieved such success. Those three of you have truly helped me a great deal; my mentor's advancement is now secure, and I don't know how to thank you enough."

"It's nothing. The three of them may have some unique personalities, so the mentor should take extra care of them."

Nangong Wuxin smiled, then suddenly remembered that they didn't seem to have any martial arts techniques or combat skills yet...

"Master, does the academy have any channels for exchanging cultivation techniques and combat skills?"

"Yes, but the highest level is only mid-level Xuan rank, which I'm afraid you won't find appealing. Actually... you should also know that if you get into the top five in the inner courtyard selection competition, you can go to the academy's library. That should satisfy you. If you need it urgently, you can go to the Canaan Auction House in the city. That auction house has considerable backing, but it's quite expensive..."

In the end, Balin shook his head. For a fifth-grade alchemist, what kind of drawback is being expensive?

"Okay, thank you very much, mentor. I'll have them take the pills over tomorrow morning."

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Wuxin."

Balin handed the six portions of medicinal herbs to Nangong Wuxin and left respectfully.

With seven or eight hundred thousand worth of medicinal herbs and a few small favors, he can exchange them for millions of worth of pills. He's really made a fortune!

On the way, Balin silently calculated in his mind whether a Qingling Zixin Pill could fetch two million or three million if it were auctioned off.

After Balin left, Yan Lingji jumped down from the building and sat down next to Nangong Wuxin, followed closely by two other figures.

"How was school today? Did anyone bully you?"

"Someone is bullying me, Master..." Yan Lingji tugged at Nangong Wuxin's arm and started to act coquettishly, looking pitiful.

Nangong Wuxin's expression also changed. How dare someone bully his people?

What audacity... Wait a minute!

Turning his head, Nangong Wuxin glanced at Zi Nu and Jing Ni beside him, and his lips twitched. He seemed to understand who had been bullying this little girl.

"You're not going to say that it was Azi and Ajing who bullied you, are you?"

"Wow, Master, you're amazing! You knew before I even said anything."

Yan Lingji's eyes flashed with surprise and admiration. As expected of her master, she guessed it right away!

"..."

Nangong Wuxin patted Yan Lingji's head to comfort her, then looked at Zi Nu and Jing Ni.

"How was your day at school? Did you like the atmosphere?"

"I feel very relaxed, and the courses at this academy are quite interesting. However, they are a bit too easy for the few of us."

Zi Nu thought about it for a moment. Based on their previous experience, although the practical courses in the academy were very good, they were still a bit lacking.

Jing Ni looked into Nangong Wuxin's eyes and nodded. As a top-tier assassin who had been rigorously trained by the Luo Wang organization since childhood, the courses at Canaan Academy were much gentler for her.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Don't worry, I heard from our instructor that the academy will arrange real combat exercises in the future. I will go with you then, so you must train hard and protect me."

"Yes, Master, I will definitely cultivate diligently."

"Jing, I swear to protect my master with my life."

"Ah... Master, me too, I am willing to die for you."

Soothed to sleep by the warm, large hand, Yan Lingji came to her senses, wiped her drool, and said to Nangong Wuxin with a determined look in her eyes.

After giving each of the three a flick on the forehead as a reward, Nangong Wuxin went upstairs.

"You're always threatening to die. If you all died, I wouldn't be able to find anyone as loyal as you. So, without my permission, not a single one of you is allowed to die!"

That night, Nangong Wuxin spent his time refining medicine and cultivating...

He handed the two Azure Spirit Purple Heart Pills to Zi Nu, asking her to give them to Balin, and then headed towards the Canaan Auction House.

Yesterday, people were told they couldn't just die easily, so the master can't just spout useless nonsense and do nothing.

In that case, what's the difference between him and those worthless scoundrels who only make empty promises?

After all, these three beauties are loyal to him as long as he doesn't have a relapse. It's not a problem for them to eventually share a bed; they have the ability and talent, so they definitely deserve to be nurtured.

Of course, this is all based on loyalty and being on one's own side, so it can't be considered sycophancy.

In Canaan, besides the Canaan College as its center, many other facilities were built in reliance on the Canaan College.

Because with more people, there will be demand, so there is no shortage of anything here; there is nothing you can't find, only things you can't imagine.

It may be a bit of an exaggeration, but it does illustrate the vastness and diversity of Canaan.

As is well known, the students of Canaan Academy come from all over the world, and some descendants of Dou Zong powerhouses also come to Canaan Academy to cultivate.

Some of them will certainly realize that something in their hometown has a unique competitive advantage and move to Canaan.

Auction houses, as a common industry on the Dou Qi Continent, naturally exist in Canaan City as well.
