Chapter 276

In the final class before the festival celebration, a special atmosphere permeated the classroom.

Although the students were still listening attentively, their eyes sparkled with faint anticipation and excitement.

The arrival of the Lance Memorial Day injected a lively air into the usually rigorous academic atmosphere of the Crystal Spire.

Of course, those who could come here were all top-tier students; even with the holiday approaching, there was no such thing as people being unable to sit still, unlike in ordinary schools.

Luo En stood on the podium, his fingers lightly tapping the floating crystal ball in front of him, and a series of complex potion formulas were projected into mid-air.

"Today we are discussing the multiphase potion system—this is a type of composite potion that can exhibit different properties in different environments."

His voice was calm and powerful, clearly reaching every corner of the classroom.

"Unlike ordinary potions, multiphase potions require the pre-implantation of environmental trigger mechanisms during the preparation process, allowing them to automatically switch states based on external conditions.

This technology has wide applications in abyss exploration, plane traversal, and extreme environment research."

He took an exquisite crystal bottle from the workbench.

The liquid inside looked clear blue at first glance, but as the bottle was gently shaken, the liquid gradually turned into a thick purple, and returned to its original state after being left to stand for a moment.

"This is a simplified demonstration model. A true multiphase potion can possess more than five different states, with each state exhibiting completely different properties."

Luo En placed the crystal bottle on a specially made magic sensing plate.

"Today, we will focus on discussing the preparation principles, stability control techniques, and practical application cases of multiphase potions. Of course, this is just for demonstration; actual preparation requires at least the level of a professional potionist."

In the next two hours, Luo En explained the core concepts and construction methods of multiphase potions in simple terms.

He did not simply list formulas and steps, but focused on expounding the underlying principles and logic.

This teaching style had long since become his trademark.

It was not teaching students "what to do," but teaching them "why to do it" and "how to think."

"The key to the multiphase conversion mechanism lies in the preset folding paths of the microstructure."

Luo En explained while drawing complex energy models in mid-air.

"It is like pre-weaving multiple possible molecular arrangement paths for the liquid, and then designing specific 'switches' to trigger the conversion. This line of thinking is not only applicable to potioneering, but also has similar applications in bloodline modulation and high-level alchemy."

The students below were fully focused, their pen tips moving rapidly on parchment, recording these precious knowledge points and perspectives.

"Understanding the principles is more important than memorizing the steps."

Luo En's voice echoed in the classroom.

"When you master the energy relationships between materials, you can draw inferences about other cases, and even find suitable substitutes when certain materials are lacking. This is the true art of potioneering."

Trish sat in the front row, her brown curly hair shimmering in the sunlight, her pen tip moving swiftly on the parchment, not missing a single detail.

As Luo En's assistant, she could have directly obtained the lecture materials, but she still insisted on recording every knowledge point herself.

"Remember, the biggest challenge of multiphase potions is not creating multiple states, but ensuring that every conversion is flawless."

Luo En's voice carried the steadiness of an experienced practitioner.

"In actual preparation, even the slightest error can lead to the collapse of the entire system, or worse—entering an unpredictable state of chaos."

With a gentle fluctuation of mental power, the projection in the air changed into a series of diagrams of failed cases.

They displayed various possible erroneous results and analyses of their causes.

"Today's assignment is to analyze this collection of failed multiphase conversion cases, identify at least three key points of error, and propose improvement plans that you consider feasible."

As time neared the end, Luo En put away the demonstration tools and assigned the after-class task.

"Additionally, I hope everyone will use the holiday time to review the energy conversion theories we covered previously, to prepare for the related courses after the holiday."

When the magic cursor pointed to the end time, the students began to pack up their study tools in an orderly fashion.

Some students gathered in front of the podium, hoping to get extra hints or advice regarding the assignment.

And Luo En patiently answered every question, his words both rigorous and encouraging.

"Mentor!"

A voice came from the crowd; it was a tall male apprentice.

"I heard you are going to participate in tomorrow's 'Ring of Rainbows' competition. We will all go to cheer for you!"

"Yes, Mentor! We bet you will definitely get a perfect gold rating!"

Another female apprentice followed up, her tone full of admiration.

Luo En raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Thank you all for your enthusiasm, but the holiday has begun, so go back and get some good rest. Don't forget the holiday assignment; I look forward to seeing your innovative ideas."

Only then did the students leave the classroom reluctantly, but almost everyone expressed their blessings and support to Luo En before leaving.

Only the members of Luo En's "Elite Group" remained.

"Mentor, all six of us will be there to cheer for you."

A thin boy with short silver hair said.

"Everyone has already agreed on the best viewing spot."

"Yes, Mentor," another apprentice with delicate features chimed in.

"We have also prepared some special gifts, hoping to bring you good luck."

Luo En looked at the six students in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

The "Elite Group" formed by these six people was one of the greatest achievements of his teaching this month.

Through "Extraordinary Identification," he had selected these six apprentices with extraordinary talent from hundreds of students.

Although their starting points were different, they all demonstrated potential beyond their peers and a thirst for knowledge.

"Thank you all for your support," Luo En nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over every young face.

"However, more important than me is your progress. Each of you is studying hard, which is more precious to me than any gift."

The silver-haired boy, Herman, possessed the rare second-tier "Multiple Resonance" talent and was the strongest in the group with the highest level of potion preparation.

He said excitedly:

"Mentor, according to your suggestion last week, I have successfully implemented the secondary energy cycle you taught, and the efficiency has increased by nearly half!"

"Well done, Herman," Luo En gave his affirmation.

"Next week I will teach you a more complex cycle pattern; if mastered properly, the efficiency can be improved even further."

Another member of the Elite Group, the red-haired girl Lucia, was an apprentice with extremely strong bloodline sensing talent.

She said shyly:

"Mentor, I studied the adaptation mechanisms of abyss mutants according to your suggestion and discovered some interesting patterns. I have compiled the observations into a report."

"Leave it on my desk; I will read and grade it later, and I will provide you with individual guidance after the next class."

Luo En nodded, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

Lucia's research potential regarding abyss creatures even exceeded that of some higher-level apprentices.

The six students took turns reporting their progress, and Luo En patiently provided feedback and new guidance.

These special young people each demonstrated astonishing potential in their respective areas of expertise.

And Luo En was like a gardener, carefully cultivating these talented seedlings.

The grace received from them was also much purer and more powerful than that from ordinary students, and now he had accumulated it all.

After finishing the exchange with the group members, Luo En signaled that they could leave.

"Alright, the holiday has begun, go get some good rest. But don't forget the individual research tasks I assigned; I look forward to seeing your results."

After the students left one after another, only Luo En and Trish, who had been waiting on the side, remained in the classroom.

The young girl had already consciously started to tidy up the various materials and tools on the demonstration table, her movements skillful and careful.

"Trish, these materials can be left for the cleaning golems to handle; you don't need to worry about these trivial matters."

Luo En said while organizing his lesson plans.

"It's alright, Mentor."

Trish carefully placed the precious multiphase potion sample into a specially made protective box.

"These potions are too precious; I feel more at ease tidying them up myself. Besides, isn't this also part of learning?"

Luo En nodded gently, acknowledging the attitude of this capable assistant.

Although Trish's mental power aptitude was not outstanding, the talent and astonishing diligence she displayed in potioneering made her gradually become an indispensable member of the Elite Group.

"How is your progress recently?"

Luo En asked casually while putting his lesson plans into his spatial bag.

Although as a mentor he had an understanding of each student's situation, such personal exchanges often brought more details.

A bright smile immediately bloomed on Trish's face.

"Thanks to you! Ever since I adjusted my mental power circulation path according to your suggestion, my meditation efficiency has improved a lot. Now I can maintain a deep meditation state for up to an hour every day!"

She carefully put away the last instrument, her face filled with irrepressible joy.

"And, last week I successfully prepared that version of the 'Sobriety Potion' you improved; the effect is stronger than the standard formula, and the side effects are reduced by more than half.

Senior Herman said that this level is already the top among apprentices of the same period."

Luo En nodded, a hint of gratification flashing in his eyes.

Trish's progress was indeed satisfactory, even faster than his initial expectations.

From an ordinary potion apprentice to now being able to independently prepare improved potions.

This leap achieved in just one month was enough to prove her potential and hard work.

"Continue to maintain this state; you are one step closer to the goal of being a professional potionist."

Luo En gave his affirmation while avoiding excessive praise that might lead to complacency.

"However, there is still room for improvement in the stability of your Sobriety Potion preparation process, especially in high-temperature environments."

"I noticed that too!"

Trish hurriedly stopped her movements and nodded.

"When the temperature exceeds 37 degrees, the decay rate of the potion's effect accelerates significantly. I am trying to solve this problem by adjusting the timing of adding 'Moonstone Powder'."

During the conversation, the two had finished tidying up and walked out of the classroom.

In the corridor, several students who had not yet left saw Luo En and stepped aside one after another; a few even took the initiative to bow and pay their respects.

"Mentor's reputation among the students is getting higher and higher."

After those students walked away, Trish said in a low voice.

"Everyone says that your course is one of the most popular teaching assistant courses at the Crystal Spire in the last ten years."

Luo En smiled slightly and did not react much to this evaluation.

In his view, this superficial fame was certainly helpful for establishing a foothold in the school.

But what was truly important were the pure graces accumulated through teaching, as well as the connections established with geniuses of all kinds.

"By the way, Mentor."

Trish's voice suddenly became a bit excited, and her pace unconsciously quickened a little.

"I heard you are going to participate in tomorrow's 'Ring of Rainbows' competition. Senior Herman said he is going to bring his recording crystal to record the entire process of you creating a gold rating!"

Mentioning this, the young girl's cheeks flushed slightly, and the tiny freckles on her face looked particularly cute in the sunlight.

As Luo En's chief assistant, she knew better than anyone the astonishing attainments her young mentor had in the field of bloodline modulation.

Every time she saw his deep eyes and that composed temperament, she would involuntarily feel admiration, and even some more complex emotions.

"Herman is always so exaggerated."

Luo En laughed softly, interrupting Trish's wild thoughts.

"A gold rating is extremely rare; very few contestants in history have been able to reach this level."

"But if anyone can do it, it must be you!"

Trish's eyes sparkled, her tone filled with unquestionable trust.

"The dual bloodline fusion technique you demonstrated in class last time even made the Director full of praise, saying it was the most exquisite micro-manipulation he had ever seen."

Her voice gradually became smaller, with a hint of shyness.

"W-we all believe you can create a miracle."

Luo En looked at her and read pure trust in those eyes.

He was all too familiar with this emotion; after all, he had felt this emotional fluctuation in another student before.

It was precisely this admiration and trust that constituted the purest source of grace.

"I will do my best," he finally responded simply.

The two walked to the fork in the teaching area; Trish needed to head to the apprentice dormitory area, while Luo En had to return to his residence.

"See you tomorrow, Mentor! Everyone in the group will be cheering for you!"

Trish said at last, her eyes shining with anticipation.

Luo En nodded, watched the diligent apprentice leave, and then turned to step onto the road home.

Cultivating students through the "Elite Group" method was indeed a win-win choice.

The students received better guidance and resources, while he harvested a purer and more stable flow of grace.

All of this was just like the special attention Suo Lun and You Ni had given him back at the Black Mist School.

Perhaps he could consider further expanding this method later to establish one-on-one small-scale cultivation plans.

With these thoughts, Luo En stepped into his residence.

The sunset glow shone through the crystal window, casting a golden-red patch of light on the living room floor.

He had just intended to take a short nap before dinner when the doorbell suddenly rang.

It was not the sound of a normal visitor's doorbell, but a special magic fluctuation that would only be triggered when there was an important notification.

He waved his hand gently, the door opened automatically, and a crystal golem about two feet tall hovered outside the door.

The golem was translucent, with complex energy circuits inside shimmering with a faint light, and it held a letter sealed with silver thread in its hands.

"Respected Wizard Luo En Ralph."

The golem's voice was crisp and mechanical, but the pronunciation was perfect.

"The Academic Review Office has entrusted me to deliver the review notice to you."

It handed over the letter, and after Luo En took it, it bowed respectfully and then dissipated into the air as a cluster of light spots.

This was one of the unique communication methods of the Crystal Spire, more formal and ritualistic than ordinary magic messaging.
