Everyone looked over and saw a group of people walking towards them. Amongst them was an old man who had just left a furnace room and had heard their conversation. His gaze landed on Wang Teng. “Master Chen,” Cui Heng greeted him. “Young people are always more confident in themselves. Wang Teng has the best of intentions.”
“Intentions are intentions but don’t fool around. Old Han’s situation is not optimistic. A little carelessness will aggravate his injury and might even shorten his remaining lifespan.” Master Chen said, “Besides, we have not given up. We’ve been looking through books and records, trying to find a way to heal him. He is just causing trouble by interfering now!”
Cui Heng looked a little uncomfortable. Chen Ruifan’s words were too harsh. Trouble? He didn’t even know whether Wang Teng would be able to heal him and decided to throw the baby out with the bathwater while chastising him.
Wang Teng sneered. “Master Chen, you sound as though I can’t heal Old Han.”
“You’re young. Have you memorized the thousands of medicinal herbs? How far is your progress in alchemy? You dare say you can heal Old Han? Didn’t your teacher tell you that alchemy requires the utmost caution?” Master Chen frowned and rebuked.
“Since when was alchemy based on age?” Wang Teng looked at him and responded indifferently. “Forget about being a master alchemist, of all the alchemists in the country, not one has managed to reach the advanced stage without ten or twenty years of experience. You sure talk big for someone your age.” Master Chen reprimanded him again.
“People like you haven’t learned enough, yet you blame others for being too good. I think you have wasted your years of learning alchemy. If you can’t heal him, then that’s it. What’s your motive for coming up with a bunch of excuses and trying to obstruct someone when he says he can do it?” Wang Teng wasn’t going to back down either.
It wasn’t that he was looking down on the alchemists on Earth. There was nothing to say about the disparity in abilities, but this Master Chen was just flaunting his seniority, acting as though he might be bullied and pushed around if he didn’t speak.
“You!” Chen Ruifan was so angry that his face turned green.
A young man standing beside him saw that his teacher was being humiliated and stood up for him after some hesitation. “Wang Teng, I know that your strength has reached the general stage and that no one in the younger generation can match up to you. But alchemy-wise, my teacher has spent many years reaching the master level and is already amongst the best on Earth. He is still considered your senior. You’re going too far by insulting him like this.”
“Your teacher ran over to scold me for no reason. Is that what a senior should do?” Wang Teng glanced at him and questioned disdainfully.
“There’s no need to say more. I do want to see what kind of healing medicine you can come up with.” Chen Ruifan’s expression was uncomfortable as he scoffed.
“You don’t know what you’re saying.” Wang Teng glanced at him calmly and stopped caring about him anymore. He looked at Cui Heng. “Head Cui, I can use the furnace room, right?”
There was nothing else Cui Heng could say now that things had turned out this way. Sighing, he nodded his head.
Wang Teng then walked straight into the furnace room.
Chen Ruifan and the others didn’t leave and started waiting on one side.
Cui Heng approached Dan Taixuan and asked softly, “Principal, is Wang Teng really confident?”
“Do you think he is the kind of person who speaks without thinking?” Dan Taixuan was calm as she glanced at him and responded with a question.
“Well…” Cui Heng understood what Dan Taixuan meant, but he still felt incredible. He couldn’t help but keep looking at the furnace room.
Inside the furnace room, Wang Teng didn’t take that Master Chen to heart. His gaze swept across the room, and he murmured under his breath.
His spiritual power swept across the room, and a few attribute bubbles that were scattered in the furnace room flew towards him.
These attribute bubbles were dropped when Master Chen was making medicine. That was going to help him.
Alchemy*30
Spiritual Realm Enlightenment*10
Alchemy*50
Alchemy*20
After picking up the attribute bubbles in the furnace room, there was a gleam in Wang Teng’s eyes. His spiritual power swept through the surrounding furnace rooms.
Sure enough, a bunch of attribute bubbles passed through the walls and gathered in the furnace room where Wang Teng was at.
Alchemy*50
Alchemy*60
Spirit*85
Alchemy*45
Spiritual Realm Enlightenment*10
Alchemy*15
Emperor Realm Spirit*16
Alchemy*60
Alchemy*45
Wang Teng smiled widely, the number of attribute bubbles in this wave was not small. It was fortunate that he wasn’t in a hurry to use his blank attributes to increase his alchemy.
As the attribute bubbles merged into his body, many related memories emerged in his mind, increasing his knowledge of alchemy and making up for his experience… His alchemy skills smoothly advanced to the next level.
Alchemist: 360/3000 (Master)
At this moment, his alchemy skills had truly reached the master level.
In just a short while, he had become a master alchemist from an advanced-stage alchemist. If Master Chen knew about it, he would probably vomit blood in anger.
That was also why Wang Teng dared to challenge the master alchemist when he was just an advanced-stage alchemist.
Although he was young, he had a bug on his side!
You can hit me if you’re not satisfied!
Sneering, Wang Teng stepped forward, picked the furnace up, and threw it aside. He then took out his Black Meteorite furnace and prepared to make the medicine.
With a thought in his mind, Emerald Glazed Flame erupted, wrapping the black meteorite furnace and raising the temperature inside the furnace room…
He took out the ingredients that Dan Taixuan had prepared, which started floating into the furnace under his spiritual power’s control. Some turned into liquid, while others turned into powder…
Outside the furnace room, Cui Heng, Chen Ruifan, and the others suddenly felt a scorching heat from Wang Teng’s furnace room. There was a look of surprise on their faces.
“Why is the temperature so high? The material and the runes of the furnace room should be able to withstand the heat.” Cui Heng muttered. Suddenly, his body shuddered and he exclaimed. “Is that flame made from the essence of the world?”
