Chapter 321: International Alchemy Conference

Professor Tela was grading assignments. Her brow furrowed for a moment, then she closed her eyes to rest briefly before she had the mood to continue reading.

When Jia Siting entered, the professor's mental state did not seem very good, but it changed immediately:

"You're here, child. It seems your joke shop isn't doing too badly?"

Professor Tela was rigorous, yet she always encouraged wizards to explore the mysterious boundaries of alchemy.

A wizard who cannot perceive the call of this vast, mysterious realm is not a qualified alchemist.

So, even though the items in the shop were not profound, the whimsical ideas contained within were enough for the professor to find them interesting.

Jia Siting was slightly surprised; he thought the professor wouldn't pay attention to such trivial matters.

Moreover, the joke shop was also a... wonderful accident. Jia Siting hadn't expected the alchemy assignment he completed casually to be so popular.

"Professor, I succeeded."

Jia Siting gathered his thoughts and placed a cookie that made a "purring" sound on the desktop.

He noticed the professor's earnest gaze, so he began his explanation:

"I used a magical ritual I created myself to complete the transfer of magical abilities from magical creatures into a wizard's body."

As soon as the first sentence landed, Professor Tela stood up abruptly, and the senior wizards outside the door were even more bewildered.

"What is a self-created ritual? And what is the transfer of magical creature abilities into a wizard's body?

What is this guy talking about?"

That Ravenclaw wizard was dumbfounded.

"If we are studying the same kind of alchemy... I still don't understand."

The Gryffindor beside him said blankly.

"I think..."

The last wizard spoke, and the two turned their gazes toward him.

"This isn't English!"

His tone was categorical.

And the explanation in the classroom continued:

"Although there are still many flaws. The transformer cannot remain conscious, the duration is only one minute, and the production time is too long... Most importantly, if the user cannot yearn for their upcoming transformation and firmly believe they are a Kneazle, the transformation is very likely to fail."

Jia Siting paused slightly, then continued,

"Although I made this cookie, its reproducibility is still in doubt. Because even the creator cannot explain the full effect of every step. The only thing I am certain of is that the wizard's will plays a decisive role in it...

But the mysterious nature of magic always compensates for this. Perhaps a wizard doesn't need to fully understand everything—

Hmm, to put it simply, once a wizard has a certain grasp of the ritual, they just need to believe, and leave the rest to magic."

... Just like potions; Jia Siting completely felt that the young wizards who successfully brewed them were relying on brute force to create miracles.

Unfortunately, magic is the miracle by which wizards reshape the world.

In the Alchemy classroom, Jia Siting finished describing his entire alchemy process in one breath. The only thing he skipped was the system construction he had built in the field of alchemical will.

It was silent here now; the senior wizards eavesdropping outside could no longer understand the content that followed.

What does it mean that it's produced but not necessarily reproducible? What does it mean that it can't be explained but can be used? And what about belief, what about magic...

They had no idea what this wizard was talking about...

"There's Wellington beef for dinner in the Great Hall today."

The Ravenclaw wizard said as much.

"Oh, I think we should talk about that. I think beef stew with mushrooms is also a delicacy."

The Gryffindor wizard walked away with his arms around the two Ravenclaws.

Professor Tela took a deep look at the door, then took a sharp, deep breath.

"You yourself... of course it's you yourself... spent more than a month? Of course, it's not like I don't know how to keep time... self-created ritual... completed the leap of magic from wizard to magical creature..."

Professor Tela said many inexplicable things; the more she spoke, the brighter her eyes became.

She knew that an alchemist would always encounter some excellent young wizards in their lifetime. But what she had encountered was more than just an excellent young wizard...

"Jia Siting, my disciple, you will surpass Nicolas Flamel."

Professor Tela's gaze was burning, incomparably certain.

Jia Siting was startled; he shook his head, not daring to say such big words.

"Humility is, of course, a good quality, but excessive humility..."

Professor Tela shook her head with a smile, then immediately looked strange,

"My disciple, is that really what you think?"

Jia Siting nodded.

"Merlin—I have seen too many wizards who are ignorant and unaware, and too many fools who are arrogant and have no ability..."

Professor Tela had never felt her mood as good as it was now.

She took out a card that looked luxurious and understated and handed it to Jia Siting: ===== CHAPTER 322 =====
