Chapter 211: Two Hundred Alchemy Students

All two hundred students finished their tests, and Jerry was still organizing the data.

The Elders watching from behind could barely stay seated; their faces were filled with excitement, agitation, and joy, and they whispered to one another in pairs.

After Jerry finished organizing, he announced directly:

"Now beginning the second test: refining one-year Soul Power Pills."

"Everyone, come up in order to collect your medicinal materials."

At this moment, the Elders in the back began to discuss again.

"What? Alchemy? Jerry even taught alchemy? We've hit the jackpot, we've hit the jackpot!"

"Did you hear that just now? Soul Power Pills, it's Soul Power Pills!"

"I heard, Soul Power Pills! My grandson is down there too; I'll be able to see my grandson refine pills in a moment."

"You're happy too soon. Is alchemy really that easy? Maybe they'll fail the refinement!"

One of the Elders without a family said this; he was truly bitter now. Why don't I have a grandson? Why didn't I start a family?

That is something you have to ask yourself.

In fact, many people do not marry or have children for the sake of Cultivation, so that they can have more time to cultivate.

By the time their Cultivation realm is high, they are no longer young, and they have grown indifferent to things like family.

"We were all taught by Jerry; if others can refine them and my grandson can't, just wait until we get home—see if I don't whip him!"

"Haha, exactly. Don't jump to conclusions so early. You all heard the physical test results just now; their Spirit Power is not low. If they can't do alchemy, it's not too late to switch to studying as a Soul Guidance Master when they get back."

"Now that you mention it, that seems true!"

After everyone had collected their medicinal materials, they returned to their positions.

"Alright, everyone take out your alchemy furnaces, check the furnaces and the materials, and report once you have finished checking!"

"Reporting! Student 001 has finished checking, no issues!"

"Reporting! Student 002 has finished checking, no issues!"

"Reporting! Student 003 has finished checking, no issues!"

All two hundred students finished checking, and there were no issues.

Previously, for the sake of easy statistics, Jerry had assigned them student numbers in order.

"All students report no issues; now, begin alchemy!"

Following Jerry's command, all the students began to refine pills.

Someone here might ask: why can everyone do alchemy? Would their martial soul attributes not be unsuitable for alchemy?

Actually, there is no need to worry about this problem. The alchemy method Jerry researched is different from those of immortal cultivators, and the alchemy furnace Jerry designed comes with its own Fire Attribute and adjustable temperature. As long as one has sufficient Spirit Power and the pill formula, one can refine them after becoming familiar with the process.

They don't need to innovate themselves right now; they just need to refine according to the pill formula. If they still can't refine it like this, then that can only mean they are truly stupid.

One hour later, everyone had finished refining, and they placed the refined pills on the tables in front, waiting for Jerry to come and inspect them.

Jerry took out a newly researched pill testing device. Previously, he had to look at them one by one, which was too troublesome, so he created the pill testing instrument—one for each person—so they could test the pills at any time.

One only needs to input Jerry's pill formula and the quality of the finished pill into it, and from then on, one can test pills based on this value.

Jerry walked to the table in front of student 001 and picked up the pill to place it on the testing instrument.

A green light scanned the pill, and then an electronic voice began to report the test results.

"Beep, testing complete, beginning report!"

"Pill: Soul Power Pill"

"Materials: One-year"

"Efficacy: 80%"

"Improvement plan: The pill's impurities were not filtered clean; it is recommended to strengthen practice of the filtering step. At the end of the pill condensation, the temperature was lowered 3 seconds too early, mixing in some air impurities, which is why the color is grayish; it is recommended to strengthen practice in controlling the pill condensation timing."

"Rating: High Grade"

"Report finished!"

Jerry recorded the refinement results and then said: "Did you hear that? You must practice more in the future. After all, these pills are things that go into one's stomach; the fewer impurities, the better!"

"Yes, Lord Jerry!" This student was a bit ashamed; this was still the most elementary pill, and they hadn't even perfected it.

Afterward, he inspected the remaining people's pills in order.

It was not bad; everyone was able to refine them, and the lowest quality pill still reached 70% efficacy.

"The first round of refinement is over. Now beginning the second round; those who refined pills with 100% efficacy stay, the rest go to the side to cultivate and wait."

As soon as Jerry's words fell, 30 people walked out from the two hundred, then sat to the side and began to cultivate.

At this time, the Elders in the back began to discuss again.

"Didn't my grandson refine a pill? Why isn't he allowed to participate in the second round? I protest!"

"Protest my foot! Didn't you hear what Jerry said? Those without 100% efficacy all have impurities. Although they can be eaten, eating too many is bad for the body. Your grandson's pill only had 79% efficacy; he's still far off."

"Damn it, my grandson is out too. Out of two hundred people, only those thirty got through; it's too embarrassing. So many people refined top-tier pills, yet those thirty didn't. When I get back, I will definitely educate my grandson well. I went through so much trouble to send him in, and he doesn't study hard—it's infuriating!"

"Don't worry, my grandson is also among those thirty; it's so embarrassing!"

"My grandson passed, hahahaha! My grandson is truly great; I must reward him well when we get back!"

"Now beginning the second round of refinement: refine two-year Soul Power Pills."

"Everyone, come up in order to collect your medicinal materials."

Although alchemy is very tedious, not a single person felt this way.

By evening, this alchemy test finally concluded.

The best students were already able to refine Soul Power Pills using ten-year-old medicinal herbs; this was already quite good, as they truly did not spend much time on alchemy, and they still had to engage in Cultivation every day.

"Good, this test has concluded successfully. Congratulations to all of you for passing the trial!"

"I would like to announce some news here: from now on, a new category of life professions will be added to the continent. Both Soul Guidance Masters and Alchemists will belong to life professions."

"Congratulations on becoming the first batch of Alchemists on the continent."

"I will personally issue you your alchemy qualification certificates. You must keep these certificates safe; they will be the symbol of your status in the future, and your alchemy records will be stored inside them."

"Later, Wuhun City will establish two guilds: one Soul Guidance Master guild and one Alchemist guild."

"In the future, once you have a breakthrough in alchemy, you can go to the Alchemist guild for assessment and certification. Once you pass the certification, you can update your alchemy qualification certificate."

"At the same time, I will establish Mingyun Xueyuan in Wuhun City, the Star Luo Empire, and the Heaven Dou Empire. Any commoner who wishes to change their destiny can sign up. There is no age limit, and you will serve as the first batch of instructors at the academy."

"Of course, do not forget your own Cultivation while serving in your positions."

"Finally, I declare this experiment a complete success. I wish you all a bright future!"

Just as Jerry finished speaking, the two hundred students spoke up one after another.

"Lord Jerry, I feel I still have much to learn. I don't want to leave!"

"That's right, Lord Jerry, I can't bear to leave."

"Lord Jerry..."

Having spent a year with these students, there were some feelings involved.

"Everyone, listen to me. Although I don't want you to leave now either, for the sake of the entire continent, you must leave. Think about how many commoners out there still need to change their destiny. You should all have a deep understanding of the lives they are living now. They are waiting for you to help them change their destiny. Are you willing to help these people who are the same as you were before?"

"We are willing!"

In the end, with the students being so reluctant to part, Jerry could only leave first. If he stayed any longer, he felt he might not be able to bring himself to leave.

The two hundred students packed their things, collected some medicinal herb seeds, and left with the Elders of their respective families.

Because refining a Soul Power Pill actually only requires one-year-old Soul-Sealing Grass, Jerry also taught these students how to plant it. Of course, Jerry's goal was not to have these students do the planting themselves.

They all had families behind them; knowing they could refine pills, the families would certainly cultivate them as a priority, so the task of planting herbs would be indirectly handed over to their families.

After everyone had left, the once lively courtyard suddenly became deserted.

But there was no other way; the people of the entire continent needed them. If it weren't for the lack of talent, Jerry would have really hoped to wait until they had mastered all the pill formulas before letting them graduate.

These Elders happily took their family descendants and left; only Qian Daoliu, Poseidon, and Bibi Dong did not leave. They were waiting for Jerry here.

"Great Elder, the results of this experiment are perfect. Afterward, we can sell various herbs at the Spirit Hall Logistics Department. If they go back to their families to plant them, it won't be this fast. During this period, the Spirit Hall must maintain a sufficient supply of herbs," Jerry said to Qian Daoliu.

"Understood, you sure are long-winded. But once this pill is made public, the entire continent will change."

"Great Elder, you can rest assured. You have all experienced the benefits of this World Advancement, right? If all humans on the continent start Cultivation now, then the time for the next World Advancement will not be far off."

"There is such a saying?"

"Of course. In fact, the conditions for World Advancement are very simple: the world just needs to absorb enough energy to advance."

"The world absorbs a lot of soul power from the outside, but this soul power does not truly belong to the world. Only after it is absorbed and converted by the people or Soul Beasts of this world will it be labeled by this world, and only then will it truly belong to this world."

"Therefore, for the world, the more practitioners, the better!"

After Jerry finished speaking, the few of them fell into thought, because they did not know why the world advanced before.

Actually, there was one thing Jerry didn't say: the soul power converted through the Pillar Supporting the Sky was directly labeled by the world, because Jerry is a person of this world.

During this year, Jerry's clones were not idle. Of course, they didn't turn into Pillars Supporting the Sky to convert soul power; relying on these clones to convert it would take too long.

Jerry's clones had been cultivating Immortal Herbs on the Moon.

In one year, they cultivated three more million-year-old Wangchuan Qiushui, which was just enough to supply Jerry's consumption.

However, what was a bit frustrating was that taking pills had no effect on the clones; only the main body could take them.

Previously, he had sent a clone to teach his students, while the main body hid in the cultivation room to absorb pills.

In this year, the number of clones reached 108. It wasn't because there were no pills, but because it should have reached the world's limit.

The world's limit was only 108 clones, just like before, when he could only split into twenty.

However, although Jerry could not create more clones afterward, taking pills had been continuously improving Jerry's Divine Soul.

With the current strength of Jerry's Divine Soul, after splitting into 108 clones, the Divine Soul of each clone was stronger than before.

Jerry split into another 99 clones, all of which turned into Pillars Supporting the Sky. It could be said that there were now one hundred Pillars Supporting the Sky converting soul power at every moment. The world consciousness was very happy and even asked Jerry if this technique could be passed on.

Jerry's Cultivation was different from everyone else's. Even after Qian Daoliu and Poseidon became gods, the Divine Soul Space they opened up was different from his Sea of Consciousness after he checked it.

Even the Fairy Queen, who was symbiotic with him, could not do it.

After they became gods, their bodies transformed into a God Body, their souls transformed into a Divine Soul, and they opened up a Divine Soul Space, but their dantian still contained their martial soul.

The Fairy Queen's dantian was different, but it was more like an Inner Pellet; there was no phenomenon where an Inner Pellet, a faith sphere, a Divine Soul, and the body fused together.

The Fairy Queen's situation was most similar to Jerry's, and they could not fuse, so the matter of clones was even more out of the question.

Jerry himself had not figured this problem out. At the time of the fusion, it was completely beyond his control; he watched them fuse on their own.

Because after the World Advancement, although there was a great overall improvement, it was still a bit inferior compared to the God Realm.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, the Soul Beasts that had previously transformed into Fairies now all had dantians that had turned into liquid soul power, and they did not directly turn into Solid Soul Power like the Fairy Queen.

The ones that transformed into Fairies the most were the plant race; after they transformed into Fairies, they lived in human form.

They built houses inside the Star Dou Great Forest, and Jerry provided them with many human daily necessities.

If someone who didn't know came here, they would probably think they had arrived at a secluded little village.

Jerry was quite at ease regarding this side; he came here this time just to see how everyone had been developing during this period.

And it must be said, he really didn't know about other races, but the Fairy Clan had developed too well. Because of the Bloodline Inheritance, many Fairy Soul Guides and Fairy Alchemists had appeared, but the population was a bit small; after so many years, the Fairy Clan added up to less than three thousand.

In fact, the reason for the small number was obvious: there were no males in the Fairy Clan other than Jerry, so new Fairies could only be cultivated.

Jerry had also asked the Fairy Queen about this problem, and the Fairy Queen told Jerry that since ancient times, there had been no males in the Fairy Clan, and because of their bodies, the Fairy Clan could not intermarry with other races.

In the past, there were Fairies who ran into human society, transformed into the appearance of human women, and married human men, but in the end, none could conceive the next generation.

However, the Fairy Queen looked at Jerry and said one sentence.

"Jerry, as the only male of the Fairy Clan, perhaps you can!"
