Chapter 438: with translation of chapter title

438. Chapter 438 Completed

I don't know how long had passed before scattered applause sounded in the office.

Hello, teachers.

Jiang Cheng also greeted them.

Hiss.

Several people sucked in a breath of cold air again.

He really is the newly arrived deputy director, huh?

"Director Jiang is a Level 10 alchemist, but strictly speaking, he is an Eleven-level Alchemist," Director Ma explained.

"Level 10, Eleven-level Alchemist?"

"Eleven-level?"

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, exclamations rose and fell inside the room.

That female student was even more dumbfounded.

This deputy director before her looks only a few years older than her, yet he is a Level 10, Eleven-level Alchemist?

If it weren't for fear of being scolded, she really wanted to pinch herself hard to see if she was dreaming. "Yes, Director Jiang can use five medicinal ingredients to refine a furnace of Top-grade Awakening Pill; in terms of effect, the Top-grade Awakening Pill is not much different from the Elementary Returning Spirit Pill, except the latter restores instantly, so saying Director Jiang is an Eleven-level Alchemist is not unreasonable." Director Ma laughed.

"Top, Top-grade Awakening Pill."

"Can five medicinal ingredients really refine an entire furnace of Top-grade Awakening Pill?"

"Doesn't that mean one furnace of pills can earn several million?"

Several people were stunned.

"Um, Director Jiang." A female teacher raised her hand and asked cautiously, "Can you really do it—refine an entire furnace of Top-grade Awakening Pill with five medicinal ingredients? Sorry, I, I don't mean to doubt you; it's just, I find it hard to believe."

Although the others didn't speak, they thought the same in their hearts.

"Yes."

Jiang Cheng smiled slightly, "I will refine Awakening Pill later; if you have time, you can come watch."

He also didn't want to be asked about this every time he met colleagues in the future.

Furthermore, as a newcomer, showing off his strength isn't bad, as long as he doesn't act arrogantly and overbearingly.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Director Ma's interest was instantly piqued; in fact, he also wanted to see Jiang Cheng's ability, although he didn't think the principal would falsify something so important.

"Can we? Director Jiang?"

Several people were both surprised and delighted.

On one hand, this would satisfy their curiosity.

On the other hand, if it's true, they could also gain some inspiration from it, which would greatly help their own level improvement.

"Of course."

Jiang Cheng agreed without hesitation, then turned to Ma Ming beside him and said, "Director Ma, where is the Alchemy Workshop? Please take me there."

"Sure, please follow me."

Ma Ming nodded repeatedly and led the way out of the large office.

Jiang Cheng followed closely behind.

Several teachers also put down what they were doing, followed behind, and some directly messaged their colleagues to come quickly.

"Good heavens, the Alchemy Workshop actually has a new young director! I need to hurry back and tell everyone!" The female student thought this and dashed off toward the classroom.

Not long after, the teachers of the Alchemy Workshop had basically all gathered here, standing together and whispering.

"Really or not, can he refine an entire furnace of Top-grade Awakening Pill? Even with ten medicinal ingredients, it might not be possible, right?"

"Yes, Director Ma just said that Director Jiang only needs five medicinal ingredients to do it!" "If he can really do that, he's definitely a Level 10 alchemist; the key is whether he can actually do it."

"It should be possible, right? Otherwise, how could he have the confidence to let us watch here? Moreover, since the academy dares to arrange this, they must have seen his ability before appointing him deputy director."

"That's true."

Everyone nodded; in fact, they were mostly surprised, with some doubt but not much.

On the other side, Jiang Cheng was seriously inspecting the equipment; the alchemy furnace before him was somewhat unusual, also a treasure.

Of course, compared to the alchemy furnace he had in the Inner City District, there is still a considerable gap; overall, it can only save 10% of medicinal potency.

After confirming that everything else was fine, Jiang Cheng looked at Ma Ming beside him and said, "Director, I'm ready; we can start anytime."

"Then let's begin, Director Jiang, don't put pressure on yourself, just do as usual." Director Ma added a reminder.

After all, there's a term called 'on-the-spot performance'; people with insufficient mental fortitude often falter when there's a crowd.

Jiang Cheng nodded.

As soon as he picked up the medicinal ingredients, he immediately entered the state.

At that moment, it seemed that in the entire Alchemy Workshop, besides him, the medicinal ingredients, and the equipment, there was nothing else.

"Hmm."

As the saying goes, an expert can tell with a single gesture; seeing Jiang Cheng's smooth and flowing operation, Director Ma nodded repeatedly.

Time passed second by second, and the pills in the furnace kept improving in quality, from intermediate to high, then to top-grade; after about two hours and a little more, ten Top-grade Awakening Pills took shape.

Jiang Cheng opened the furnace, took out the ten pills, and immediately the entire Alchemy Workshop was filled with a refreshing fragrance; even just smelling it slightly sped up the recovery of Spiritual Power.

Seeing this, even though they had anticipated it, everyone's hearts were still greatly shocked.

On one hand, the shock of an entire furnace of Top-grade Awakening Pills is huge; after all, at a rate of one hundred Contribution Points per pill, this furnace equals one thousand Contribution Points! They would have to work nearly a year to earn that much!

And Jiang Cheng?

He only needed two hours! This is also another reason for their shock.

They would need three hours or more to refine an Elementary Awakening Pill, yet Jiang Cheng refined a Top-grade Awakening Pill in just two hours? Looking at Jiang Cheng's calm, youthful face, the people in the room all began to doubt life.

Meanwhile, Ma Ming beside him also unconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air.

Good fellow, two hours……

Such efficiency, even he can't catch up with it.

"I don't even know where the leader dug this person up from; to invite him to join, they must have paid a hefty price."

Ma Ming thought to himself.

Although he is the Director of the Alchemy Workshop, he doesn't know much about Jiang Cheng's background, only that the latter came from outside with his family.

"Director, this is the first batch."

Jiang Cheng placed ten elixirs into a small bottle in front of everyone, smiling as he told Ma Ming.

"Director Jiang, what do you mean? Are you going to refine another batch next?" Ma Ming was a little surprised.

Upon hearing that, everyone's eyes also lit up.

"Hmm, just a trivial matter."

Jiang Cheng nodded.

After finishing this batch, today's target of two batches is met, and he will directly get off work and go cultivate.

As for the teaching duty, today is Wednesday, there are still two days left.
