Chapter 179: New Course

"Ah?" Ji Jue was dazed.

"Don't talk about the Sage Realm, just the Heaven-Human Realm is already out of reach for you. It's too far, you don't have any actual feeling, which is why you dare to act recklessly repeatedly."

Ye Xian shook her head: "The relationship between the Chosen and the Supreme Good is inherently close. The Chosen extract the power of the Supreme Good to achieve themselves. And the power of the Supreme Good is also acted upon by many Chosen.

The relationship between the two is just as described in modern alchemy—【All】 and 【One】. Nothing can be fulfilled without 【All】, and 【All】 is nothing without 【One】.

But once the Chosen becomes a Heaven-Human, the distinction between them and the Supreme Good will no longer be so clear. To some extent, it can be called a part of the Supreme Good.

The realm of the Sage or the Dragon is even more distant compared to that.

The Sage inscribes time, establishes the origin, even if they die, their imprint will exist forever in the world of the Supreme Good. The power they left behind and the path they pioneered will also manifest and flow in many secret rituals and events.

The most prominent place among them is the fluid alchemy she pioneered... If she hadn't been able to verify the Sage, do you think the effect of fluid alchemy would be raised to such a degree? If there hadn't been her permission before she died, could your learning speed be this fast?"

People who reach that realm are already no different from gods to ordinary people. Their power is integrated into the world itself, becoming a part of the Supreme Good, flowing in all related fields.

Just like the two Sages who established the prototype of the Federation and the Empire in the past—Tiandu and Diyu, even if they have been dead for hundreds of years, the two countries are still covered by the "Heavenly Origin Law" they formulated, which maximally stabilized the environment within the territory, making the possibility of disasters and impacts far smaller than in other places, without having to hide from natural disasters like the islands on the Endless Sea...

The division of the four states in the Central Plains and the endless struggle, isn't it also caused by the accumulated grievances and hatred of the Heaven-Humans of past generations?

"It's best to keep a few points of awe in everything. When it's not a last resort, don't touch some things, understand? Forget it, saying this is useless, you'll understand everything once you suffer a loss later.

As your teacher, the only reminder I can give you is one—don't rely on the favor of Mercury in the past and look down on everything. The changes of the Supreme Good are always impermanent, and the principles of the Sage are the same. It is already very difficult to keep a few points of spirituality until now.

That is the last trace she left in the world. Future researchers can determine the existence of the predecessors and re-excavate those lost skills and paths by observing these trivial details."

Professor Ye's expression gradually became serious: "If you rely on this favor and squander it wantonly, you will sooner or later exhaust the little spirituality that Mercury left in the Supreme Good, do you understand?"

Ji Jue on the wheelchair subconsciously wanted to get up, but twitched, really unable to climb up.

Could only try to support his body and nod seriously.

Although he didn't understand most of the content, he at least knew one thing—the incense of the ancestral grave is limited, and if the descendants squander too much, they will eventually exhaust the few remaining legacies.

Whether it is for Ji Jue or for those who may learn fluid alchemy later, it is not a good thing.

So, don't be ungrateful, just about enough is enough.

Moreover... even with a consumable tool person like the ghost fetus last time, Ji Jue still felt that his dog brain was almost shaken to pieces by the Soul-Calling Bell.

This kind of extremely low-probability event that can only be achieved by coincidence really cannot be used as a life-saving straw at a critical moment.

Now seeing Ji Jue's serious look, Ye Xian nodded slightly, not knowing whether it was relief or regret. She had originally said that if he didn't use his brain, she would give him a few more punches.

It seems she can save some trouble.

"Since 'Hand-Made Creation' and 'Spirit Firstness' have both undergone qualitative change, with the assistance of 'Non-Aggression,' your level in fluid alchemy should also be at a level sufficient to become a craftsman."

Ye Xian said after a brief meditation: "Learning and research in modern alchemy need to be accelerated.

Someone may come to contact you later, but you don't need to pay attention to the invitation and promise of the Association. With me here, the pressure of the 'Taiyi Ring' cannot reach you, you don't need to please those guys.

Also, if you don't want to be swept out by me, absolutely do not register as a craftsman with fluid alchemy, understand?"

Ji Jue was slightly stunned.

It is rare for Professor Ye to have such a severe tone and warning, which made him slightly nervous—although he didn't say it out loud, when Ji Jue wanted to "lie flat," he also quietly thought that if the craftsman qualification exam for modern alchemy was too troublesome, perhaps he could consider fluid alchemy to curve and overtake.

"Do you know how rich the Taiyi Ring is?"

Ye Xian asked straightforwardly, not waiting for him to answer: "Nowadays, more than 99% of the patents in modern alchemy are registered by members of the Association and monopolized by the Association. Every year, just relying on these patents, the wealth the Association can obtain is an astronomical figure that is enough to make the finance ministers of the Federation and the Empire wake up from their dreams.

Not only that, the power, status, and preferential treatment enjoyed by craftsmen. The formulas, materials, and skill inheritance required by craftsmen... in the current world, every craftsman, no, everyone who needs alchemy, absolutely cannot bypass the existence of the Taiyi Ring.

Such a behemoth, you wouldn't think that the inside would be harmonious, right?"

Ji Jue didn't answer.

Thinking with his heels, it's impossible. Even the bureaucrats in the Academic Affairs Office of Tianmen University can fight for their own power, let alone the Taiyi Ring.

It will only be more exaggerated, more cruel, and darker.

"Even within the Association, craftsmen are divided into three, six, and nine grades, factions, origins, status, race, and even the direction they are good at... Apprentices who do not have exploration fanaticism and desire have no possibility of becoming craftsmen, and those who become craftsmen will not allow themselves to be inferior to others, nor will they allow others to surpass them."

Ye Xian suddenly asked: "Specific examples, I think you have already seen them, right?"

*Mm-hmm-hmm*, right in front of me.

Of course, Ji Jue wouldn't dare to say this even if he were beaten to death, he could only nod frantically in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes, Master Kong's narrow-mindedness is like this."

Ye Xian's expression remained unchanged, she glanced at him with a smile that was not a smile, didn't continue this topic, and just said slowly:

"This is the reason why I warn you—you can use fluid alchemy to submit works, but at the same time, as a basis for evaluation, you need to submit detailed explanations of all principles and applications.

Simply put, you hand over this technology, and then exchange it for a fourth-class status in the Association, watching all possible directions being registered for patents by others, completely blocked. Every year when there is a meeting, you might not even get an admission ticket, and letting you stand outside the door to listen is considered a great favor.

Nowadays, the mainstream of the industry is modern alchemy.

Although the vast majority are a bunch of flies and dogs, it is still the mainstream.

Others can't say there are none, but they are all like protected animals, leaving a few typical ones to show a hundred flowers blooming, but in fact, no one really takes it to heart.

Being dozens of grades lower for no reason, and even then, a bunch of idiots, still fighting endlessly."

Professor Ye sneered and said slowly: "Don't play games with stupid people, and don't make friends with fools.

After passing the registration exam as an orthodox modern alchemy craftsman, taking fluid alchemy as your specialty field, thereby gradually winning over others, cultivating apprentices, and even forming your own faction, is the way to maximize benefits and is also your foundation, understand?"

For such golden words that arranged a path to the sky for him in a few words, Ji Jue was not ungrateful enough to treat them as wind in his ears, nodding like pounding garlic.

However, at the same time, he couldn't help but doubt: "Does modern alchemy have no squeezing?"

"Of course there is, and much more, much more cruel, and much more crazy." Ye Xian answered without hesitation: "However, you don't need to worry about this point."

"Why?" Ji Jue asked subconsciously.

Ye Xian just smiled slightly, fully displaying warmth and grace, the demeanor of a master of a generation: "Because in the academic world, only our lineage has the share of squeezing others."

As for those outside the academic world who dare to squeeze her... they have all become materials now.

Silence came suddenly, and Ye Xian finally looked back, as if full of expectation: "So, you also have to work hard, you know?"

Ji Jue swallowed dryly and nodded frantically.

Afraid that if he was a second slow, he would be regarded as a stain in the educational world by the teacher and directly cleared from the sect.

But it cannot be denied... although the teacher is narrow-minded, has a big temper, and is cold and harsh, the sentence just now was really too damn handsome.

Ji Jue felt that little stars were about to pop out of his eyes.

Compassionate, broad-minded, and kind, it is indeed an excellent quality passed down by our lineage!

"Very good, I didn't intend to let you waste more time on classical alchemy, but under the current situation, I'm afraid it's not up to you to slowly boil time."

Ye Xian threw her hand and threw the Soul-Calling Bell, which had been locked and repaired, into his arms: "Start the next lesson directly, the part you need most at the moment."

She said: "Let me see your results in spiritual quality refining."

Ji Jue picked it up and shook it without hesitation.

After one sound, sparkling green fire rose from the opened spiritual quality cage. After two sounds, the excitation was completed. After three sounds, the phantom of the spiritual quality hand manifested on the bell for an instant.

Immediately after, in the gathered green fire, a white-clothed figure covered in blood slowly emerged, straightened its waist, and on the face covered with stitches, the smile was enthusiastic, making one's hair stand on end.

And on the alienated limbs, there were sharp bone spurs everywhere, and the claws were sharp.

The doctor in the Rift Realm hospital was shaped by Ji Jue.

Mastering the Blade of Compassion, and still retaining so many records left by doctors inside, for Ji Jue, it was like a blueprint, just need to draw a few strokes, nothing more than increasing or decreasing according to the situation.

It's just a pity that the missing crucial obsession, only having ferocity, can only be used as a tool.

"Very good."

Ye Xian examined it for a moment and nodded: "Although it doesn't have a blessing, the composition is very stable. As a tool, a little more is enough to deal with the vast majority of ordinary metamorphosis periods."

She said: "Let him attack."

Ji Jue shook the bell again without hesitation.

Not worried at all.

If this tool ghost could damage a hair of Professor Ye, he would write the word "Ji" upside down. Why waste precious class time for such a little bit of verbal teacher-student affection?

The moment the bell rang, the alienated doctor's body had already disappeared without a trace, infinite phosphorus fire suddenly spread, gathered again, turned into sharp claws, and tore toward Ye Xian's heart.

From behind.

On the spiritual quality claws comparable to scalpels, scarlet was entangled, ferocity surged, attacking the vital points directly.

But immediately after, it was like hitting an invisible wall, rapidly shattering and dissipating. The doctor shrieked harshly, suddenly dissipated again, wandering around, like a monster lurking in the shadows, peeping and lurking.

Until Ji Jue shook the bell again, gave the order, and urged him to launch a fierce attack.

In the roar, the doctor's body emerged from the green fire, expanded again, the alienated face had a fanatical smile, and it pounced toward Ye Xian fiercely.

And then, he saw her raised finger.

Fingertip.

A drop of metal liquid as crystal clear as rain, mercury!

It was just taken from the ground by her.

Ji Jue subconsciously widened his eyes, and then, he saw an unbelievable scene—it was as if an invisible vortex suddenly manifested, from that drop of mercury, a storm of souls erupted, instantly shrouding the entire basement.

And then, the hissing residual spirit doctor was involuntarily pulled by the terrifying attraction, limbs changed, gradually slender, and was pulled into that drop of mercury.

Completely devoured!

Finally, spiritual quality circuits manifested on the mercury, layer by layer of blockade, entangled.

Hardened into a small bead.

The bead kept vibrating slightly, as if something was struggling violently inside, but in the end, it returned to quiet.

No sound.

"I... Poké Ball!?"

Ji Jue was shocked and lost his voice, forgetting the pain, climbed up from the wheelchair, examined it left and right, leaned closer, and looked carefully for a long time, before finally confirming the guess in his heart:

"Is this, fluid alchemy?"

Old author Hu Fu has a new book~
