Chapter 137 I will work hard
"Yinyin, although the Endless Realm is very dangerous, if you want to go, I will accompany you." Jun Yijue held Su Chenyin's slender hand tightly, his tone firm.
Su Chenyin held his hand back, interlocked his fingers tightly, and smiled: "Okay, we'll be together then."
As they were talking, they had already arrived above the elite class's classroom.
The two smiled at each other, slowly landed, folded up the flying carpet, and walked into the classroom.
In the classroom, the students were already sitting in an orderly line, waiting for class to start.
Seeing Su Chenyin and Jun Yijue come in, they all looked at them with envy.
"Chen Yin, this way!" Mu Xin raised her hand like a lively little bird and called out excitedly, "We are here."
Su Chenyin and Jun Yijue walked towards the direction of Mu Xin and the other five people.
They sat in a row of seats near the window, and the sunlight sprinkled on them like golden silk, covering them with a dreamy gauze.
As soon as Su Chenyin sat down, Mu Xin started to playfully wink at her like a curious cat and grinned with ill intent.
Mu Xin even leaned close to Su Chenyin's ear and whispered, "Chenyin, what did you do at noon?"
"Puchi..." Su Chenyin couldn't help laughing when she saw Mu Xin's gossipy look.
She tapped Mu Xin's head gently and said mysteriously, "Secret."
"Oh, a secret~" Mu Xin deliberately dragged out the voice, with an "I understand" expression on his face, making Su Chenyin laugh and cry.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked into the classroom door. He was wearing a gray robe and walked steadily. The pressure he exuded made the originally noisy classroom quiet down instantly.
His name is Zhang Hong, and he is a master alchemist.
All the disciples sat upright, holding their breath, waiting for Zhang Hong to speak.
Su Chenyin and others immediately stopped smiling and straightened their postures.
Zhang Hong's eyes were as sharp as two flashes of lightning. He scanned the classroom and confirmed that all the disciples were present. He cleared his throat and said:
"Dear disciples, my name is Zhang Hong, and I will be the one teaching you the alchemy class for the next month."
Zhang Hong's voice is steady and powerful, as loud as a bell, and full of majesty.
"I know that many of the disciples here don't know how to make pills, lack the talent for making pills, and have no interest in making pills."
"But," Zhang Hong changed the subject, his eyes shooting at the disciples present like arrows, "regardless of whether you have the talent for alchemy, I hope you can cherish this opportunity to learn."
"As we all know, spiritual herbs and elixirs can not only help us practice better, but also be a lifesaver at critical moments. But..."
Zhang Hong paused, his eyes turned serious, "If you don't know the spiritual herbs and elixirs, and don't understand their effects. If you take them by mistake, it can hurt your body at best, or even kill you at worst."
“Therefore, it is vital for you to understand spiritual herbs and elixirs and learn how to make elixirs.”
Zhang Hong's words were like the morning bell and evening drum, startling the disciples present. Their originally casual attitude instantly became serious.
Su Chenyin listened attentively. Although she was already a master alchemist, she knew that learning never ends.
Zhang Hong continued, "In this month, I will teach you some basic knowledge and techniques of alchemy. I hope you can cherish this opportunity and study hard."
"Okay, without further ado, today we will start with the most basic identification of spiritual herbs."
As Zhang Hong spoke, he took out a wooden box from his storage ring and opened it. Inside, various medicinal herbs were placed in different categories.
"Next, I will introduce the characteristics and uses of these magical herbs one by one. You must listen carefully and take notes seriously."
As soon as Zhang Hong finished speaking, the disciples immediately took out their notebooks and listened attentively.
Although Su Chenyin was already familiar with these spiritual herbs, he still straightened his posture and listened attentively.
Under the podium, Mu Xin stared at the spiritual herbs with wide eyes, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "There are so many, how can I remember them all?"
Su Chenyin smiled and whispered to comfort him, "Don't worry, remember it slowly, step by step."
At this time, Zhang Hong picked up a fiery red spiritual herb, and the leaves were burning like flames.
"This is the Fiery Flower. It is as fierce as fire and can be used to refine pills that increase fire-attribute attacks."
Zhang Hong's voice echoed in the classroom, and the flame flower in his hand seemed to be really burning, releasing wisps of heat.
Then, Zhang Hong gently picked up a green medicinal herb with his fingers and explained:
"This is the Nine-Leaf Soul-Restoring Grass. Its leaves are heart-shaped, with nine leaves in total. It is the main material for refining Soul-Gathering Pills and Soul-Restoring Pills."
As Zhang Hong explained, he took out various medicinal herbs from the wooden box and introduced the characteristics, growing environment and uses of each one in detail.
His explanation was vivid and colorful, making the originally boring class interesting.
Time passes minute by minute.
In the blink of an eye, the bell for the end of get out of class rang leisurely.
"Okay, that's all for today's class. The next class will be about the actual practice of alchemy. I hope you'll be ready in advance."
Zhang Hong packed up the wooden box, turned around and left the classroom.
The students also began to pack up their things and left the classroom in twos and threes.
Su Chenyin, Jun Yijue and others stayed until the end.
Yu Zhiyan stared at the notebook in her hand, her beautiful eyes flickering, her face showing sorrow, like a pitiful little deer, and said to Su Chenyin:
"Chen Yin, it seems that I really don't have the talent for alchemy. My mind is a mess now."
“Pfft!” Lu Ziche couldn’t help but chuckle, raised his eyebrows with a smile, and said jokingly: “Haha… you almost fell asleep just now, it’s strange that you could understand!”
However, looking at her sad face, Lu Ziche thought she was really cute. What was going on?
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhiyan blushed immediately, glared at Lu Ziche in reproach, and said stubbornly, "Who said I was about to fall asleep? I was just closing my eyes to rest."
"If you have been listening carefully, then tell me how many of these spiritual herbs you have memorized?"
Yu Zhiyan glanced at Lu Ziche provocatively, raised her chin, and looked unwilling to admit defeat.
Lu Ziche shrugged indifferently, with a smug look on his face: "It's okay, it's okay, at least I remember a few more than you."
"Tsk~" Yu Zhiyan snorted disdainfully, turned her face away and ignored Lu Ziche.
"Okay, stop arguing, both of you." Su Chenyin interrupted their bickering with a smile.
Su Chenyin gently patted Yu Zhiyan's shoulder and comforted her: "Zhiyan, the art of alchemy requires time and patience. Don't be discouraged, just take your time."
After hearing Su Chenyin's words, Yu Zhiyan felt a little comforted, but still a little lost.
Su Chenyin saw through her thoughts and continued, "Besides, everyone has their own areas of expertise and weaknesses, just like you are good at talismans. You may not be interested in alchemy now, but that doesn't mean you can't do it."
At this time, Mu Xin couldn't help but patted Yu Zhiyan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Yes, Zhiyan, although I can make pills a little bit, I don't know how to write talismans at all."
After hearing what they said, Yu Zhiyan's eyes gradually brightened, like a bright light in the darkness.
She nodded and smiled: "Yes, I will try my best."
At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun outside the classroom poured in like a golden veil, shining on their faces, covering them with a layer of warm glow and adding a bit of warmth to their hearts.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back!" Su Chenyin said, taking Jun Yijue's hand and walking out the door first.
Everyone nodded and left the classroom together.
