"Well," Lin Yang sneered, his lips curling in disbelief, "I want to see if you actually have the ability to make me leave."
He really didn't believe it. How could this trash—who had barely set foot in Lingyun Wufu—refine a Powerful Pill? Impossible.
Jiang Chen didn't even look at him. Without wasting a single word, he strode to the podium, his expression calm, almost bored.
Ding!"You are refining the Powerful Pill. The system has automatically triggered a hundredfold success rate!
Jiang Chen paused for the briefest moment, then smirked inwardly.
A hundredfold success rate? So even if I had zero talent, this would still be near guaranteed success… This system really doesn't allow me to fail.
Suppressing a chuckle, he turned his focus to the furnace.
Already a first-rank alchemist, refining a low-grade pill like this was child's play.
He moved with smooth, practiced grace—heating the furnace evenly,placing herbs in precise order,adjusting the flame with pinpoint control.
Every motion was so natural it bordered on artistry.
Step by step, his movements mirrored Su Lingxiang's earlier demonstration—no, sharper, cleaner, as if he'd been doing this for years.
In just a few minutes, Jiang Chen reached the final stage. His fingers formed an intricate pill seal, striking the furnace with a crisp snap—
—and the fragrance of freshly formed pills filled the classroom.
Ding!"You have refined the Powerful Pill. Gained 500×100 experience!""Congratulations! You have advanced to a second-rank alchemist!
Jiang Chen felt a flood of alchemical knowledge surge into his mind.
A quarter of an hour ago, he had been a total rookie.Now? He was a genuine second-rank alchemist.
Alchemy? With the hundredfold cultivation system… it really is this simple.
"Did… did he just succeed?!"
"What the hell—his alchemy was almost as smooth as Mentor Su's!"
"Lin Yang said he didn't know alchemy? Hah! Who's laughing now?"
The classroom exploded with whispers and gasps.
Lin Yang, however, stood frozen.
His face was pale, eyes bulging, as though he had just witnessed a ghost.
"Impossible… this is impossible…"
This so-called "Jiang family waste" had already surpassed him in martial strength. Now even his alchemy talent was like this?
What the hell is happening?
Su Lingxiang, who had been watching silently, finally spoke.
Her gaze had been cool and assessing at first. Now, her beautiful eyes shimmered with genuine surprise.
This boy's movements weren't just good—they carried the marks of a trained alchemist. And that final seal…
That was no ordinary condensation method. That was the pill seal of a true first-rank alchemist.
Suppressing the excitement rising in her chest, Su Lingxiang smiled softly.
"Student Jiang Chen, your attainments in alchemy are quite remarkable."
She leaned forward slightly, her voice carrying through the hall:
"Would you like to try refining a Body Tempering Pill? If you succeed, I will personally recommend you for immediate promotion… to Gold Class."
The classroom went dead silent.
A Gold Class promotion? For a bronze nobody? This was unheard of.
Even Jiang Chen blinked in mild surprise. She saw through me? Or… does she simply want to test my limits?
Either way, free ingredients were free ingredients.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly.
"Since Teacher Su has spoken… then I'll give it a try."
