A request that is within our capabilities?

There's a lot of room for maneuver here!

As long as I offer a ninth-grade pill that can help Haiyue restore her cultivation, I will surely gain the endless gratitude of this moon goddess. With a high level of recognition as a foundation, winning over this unattainable beauty will be a piece of cake.

"A request that is within our capabilities?"

"You little rascal, you're not trying to trick the teacher, are you?"

Haiyue narrowed her eyes and looked Jiang Che up and down, suddenly noticing something unusual.

After going through all this trouble just to gamble with himself, Haiyue couldn't believe Jiang Che didn't have any other motives.

"how could be……"

"Teachers are the people students respect and love the most!"

"Students certainly wouldn't intentionally try to trick their teachers..."

Jiang Che felt a sudden tension under Haiyue's scrutinizing gaze, but he remained calm and composed, delivering a smooth-talking speech without batting an eye.

After acting with Diao Chan for some time, Jiang Che's acting skills have reached a level where he is completely detached from reality, making it difficult for people to notice anything amiss.

Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to stand being looked at like that by Haiyue.

"is it?"

Haiyue's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips; she didn't believe Jiang Che's answer. 1.2

Although no one knew what Jiang Che was really up to, it was reasonable to assume he wouldn't dare do anything so rebellious or disrespectful to his master.

With the principle of always thinking of the talented disciple and trying to meet his requests as much as possible, Haiyue thought for a while and agreed to Jiang Che's request. She parted her red lips and slowly spoke.

"Since you're so confident, I'll grant you your bet..."

"If you can truly refine a ninth-grade pill within three years, I can grant you one request that is within my power, and I mean it!"

"However, before that, I need to have someone confirm your expertise in alchemy..."

Although she knew that Jiang Che was mysterious and extraordinary, Haiyue still felt that Jiang Che's statement was somewhat absurd and naturally wanted to find someone to verify it.

She herself was not knowledgeable in alchemy, but there were many elders in the academy, and naturally quite a few elders in the alchemy hall, who were all sixth-grade alchemists. She could easily verify whether Jiang Che was lying or not.

Since Jiang Che wanted to play, Haiyue was happy to play along with her genius little apprentice.

Little did she know that in the near future, she would deeply regret her rash decision today.

Although Jiang Che did help her restore her former peak cultivation level, she sacrificed her entire being in the process!

"no problem……"

"Teacher, please just summon the elders..."

Jiang Che nodded with a smile, his expression showing no sign of panic, and he appeared confident and composed.

Seeing that Haiyue had agreed to his request, Jiang Che breathed a long sigh of relief.

Now, I've finally taken the first step in winning the heart of my beloved!

As a goddess descended from the moon, Haiyue's character is beyond doubt. She always keeps her promises and never goes back on her word, which is one of her life's tenets.

Then, I'll take out the ninth-grade elixir that can restore my beautiful teacher, and then I can...

Hey!

111: Haiyue's Mysterious Reward? An Extreme Contrast!

At Haiyue's summons, before long, an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in an elegant robe, and exuding an air of otherworldly grace appeared in the main hall of Qixia Peak.

"This old man has met the Dean..."

Upon entering the main hall, the old man looked around and, upon spotting Haiyue, quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and spoke with great reverence.

Within the academy, Haiyue was the supreme being. All the elders combined would probably not be a match for her, which is why the old man's attitude was so respectful.

Upon receiving Haiyue's order, he rushed to Qixia Peak in a great hurry.

This was Leng Qianshan's first time visiting Qixia Peak, but he didn't dare to look around recklessly, appearing quite proper.

"Elder Leng, there's no need for such formalities..."

"I have summoned you here because I have something to ask you to do..."

Haiyue nodded slightly, her hands folded and placed horizontally on her lower abdomen. Her expression was cold and unsmiling, and her voice was clear and aloof, completely unlike the gentle and considerate demeanor she displayed when facing Jiang Che. She was like a blooming ice lotus, cold and proud.

Jiang Che, this genius disciple, received preferential treatment from Haiyue, but others did not. Even though Leng Qianshan had considerable cultivation, held a high position, and was a rare sixth-grade alchemist.

Leng Qianshan was not surprised at all by Haiyue's cold attitude; he was already used to it. In his mind, Haiyue was always like this.

If Leng Qianshan were to speak to him gently and kindly one day, he would be terrified.

Upon hearing that Haiyue had something to instruct him, Leng Qianshan immediately spoke up and respectfully expressed his agreement.

"Please give your orders, Dean. I will do my utmost, even at the cost of my life!"

"Check Jiang Zhenchuan's talent in alchemy and see if he is truly a fourth-grade alchemist..."

Haiyue glanced at the composed Jiang Che, then parted her lips slightly and spoke slowly.

Seeing Jiang Che's calm and composed demeanor, Haiyue inexplicably began to believe him a little more. After all, she knew this little guy quite well and naturally knew that he wasn't the kind of person who liked to boast.

A fourth-grade alchemist?

"Jiang Zhenchuan?"

Leng Qianshan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiang Che beside him with surprise, a number of thoughts surfacing in his mind.

As soon as Leng Qianshan entered the main hall, he noticed this true disciple of the academy, who had been personally appointed by the Dean.

He had heard various rumors about Jiang Che before and knew that the other party had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage of cultivation.

Leng Qianshan didn't really believe it at first.

He was present when Haiyue conferred the title upon Jiang Che, who at that time only had the cultivation of the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

In just one month, how could one advance from the early stage of Golden Core to the early stage of Nascent Soul?

This sounds so absurd that probably no one would believe it!

Even if you were a reincarnated god-king, you couldn't possibly have such a terrifying cultivation speed, right?

Leng Qianshan was initially dismissive of the rumors, thinking they were exaggerated.

Now that he has seen Jiang Che again, Leng Qianshan has completely dispelled this idea in his heart. The aura emanating from Jiang Che is indeed unique to Nascent Soul cultivators!

His breathing was steady, his foundation was solid, and his cultivation level was not forcibly improved using any secret method.

With such terrifying cultivation speed, he finally understood why Haiyue spared no effort in nurturing Jiang Che, even personally teaching and instructing him.

Such a genius would inevitably inspire admiration in anyone who encountered him.

With many thoughts flashing through his mind, Leng Qianshan smiled, stroked his gray beard, looked at Jiang Che, and said with a chuckle.

"Master Jiang, may I examine your alchemy skills?"

Jiang Che's status as a true disciple in the academy was no less than that of the elders, and perhaps even higher. Therefore, Leng Qianshan did not act arrogantly because of his seniority. He spoke sincerely and treated Jiang Che as a peer.

Although he was somewhat puzzled as to why Haiyue would suddenly make such a decision, Leng Qianshan didn't ask any further questions.

Whatever decision Haiyue makes, as long as it doesn't harm the interests of the Immortal Dynasty, he can simply follow her instructions.

"There's nothing wrong with that..."

"How does Elder Leng wish to examine my alchemy cultivation level?"

Jiang Che nodded with a smile and asked with great interest.

"This one……"

"How about we have Jiang Zhenchuan refine a fourth-grade pill on the spot?"

"As long as Jiang Zhenchuan can refine a fourth-grade pill, there's naturally no need for any further checks..."

After a moment's thought, Leng Qianshan slowly spoke and offered his suggestion.

This method is undoubtedly the safest, and whether Jiang Che can refine a fourth-grade pill or not has little to do with him.

"No problem. What kind of pills would the elder like me to refine?"

Jiang Che responded and continued to ask.

After receiving the talent attribute of "Peerless in Alchemy," Jiang Che's alchemy skills instantly improved from the third grade to the fourth grade. Although he had not yet tried to refine fourth-grade pills, he already had a lot of theoretical knowledge in his mind. All he lacked was practice, so he was naturally not afraid at all.

"Let's go with the fourth-grade Rejuvenation Pill..."

"I have some medicinal herbs here that Jiang Zhenchuan can use to refine..."

As Leng Qianshan spoke, he waved his hand, and dozens of rare spiritual herbs floated in the void in front of Jiang Che. Among them were some hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, which were very rare.

The Rejuvenation Pill is a healing elixir that can effectively treat internal injuries in cultivators. It contains traces of vital energy and has remarkable effects. Naturally, it requires a considerable number of various spiritual herbs and a certain number of years to mature.

Ordinary fourth-grade alchemists may not necessarily have the method to refine the Rejuvenation Pill, nor do they have enough rare and precious medicinal herbs to refine it.

If Jiang Che can successfully refine a fourth-grade Rejuvenation Pill, it will be enough to explain many things.

"no problem…"

Jiang Che's face was calm and composed, exuding confidence.

With a thought, he retrieved his Xuanhuang Cauldron from the system space and formed hand seals.

In an instant, blazing flames rose from beneath the cauldron, spreading rapidly, and the temperature in the surrounding space began to rise dramatically.

The firelight illuminated all directions, and ripples spread through the void, causing the air to subtly distort as if it could not withstand the intense heat.

Haiyue and Leng Qianshan were both accomplished cultivators, so they were naturally unaffected and remained calm.

Haiyue, of course, needs no further introduction. As a powerful cultivator at the peak of the Mahayana stage, how could she be afraid of a ball of Xuan Yang Purple Flame?

Leng Qianshan had been refining pills for many years and was used to such high temperatures, so he was not affected by them at all.

Once the Xuan Yang Purple Flame reached a critical point, Jiang Che, following the order and proportions, sent various spiritual herbs into the Xuanhuang Cauldron and began to concentrate intently on refining pills while controlling the Xuan Yang Purple Flame.

Jiang Che's movements were fluid and seamless, without the slightest pause, clearly indicating that he was already very familiar with this process.
