Chapter 68: Back to the Academy

"You should have seen the fiery wings that Chi Lian displayed earlier, that's a technique from human Dou Qi cultivation methods."

Yan Qingshan spoke again, "Although you magical beasts are powerful and possess many resources, you are far inferior to humans in terms of cultivation and techniques.

I can help you find Dou Qi Methods suitable for your ape race, but you have to help me collect various spiritual herbs. You can invite other fifth-rank magical beasts to join and cooperate with me.

By the way, my name is Yan Qingshan, and I'm also an alchemist. This is a second-grade healing pill I made. Eating it will benefit your injuries.

Consider my suggestion carefully!"

Yan Qingshan put the jade jar in his hand into his storage ring, then took out a jade bottle and threw it to the Snow Demon Sky Ape. After speaking, he quickly left the valley with the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent.

"Yan Qingshan!"

The Snow Demon Sky Ape looked at Yan Qingshan's back. Although he had schemed to severely injure it and take away some of the treasures it guarded, it didn't seem to be particularly resentful now.

Carefully unscrewing the jade bottle's stopper, a rather difficult task for its huge size, a fragrant scent wafted over. Pouring out a longan-sized pill filled with fragrance, it swallowed it in one gulp. The pill's energy quickly helped it recover from its injuries.

"Roar~~"

The Snow Demon Sky Ape let out a roar that shook the forest. Although its injuries hadn't recovered much, it felt the pill's magic and wanted more.

The Snow Demon Sky Ape leapt out of the pit, returned to its lair, and carefully placed the jade bottle in a corner. This small thing was of great significance to it.

…

"Yan Qingshan is back!"

"Did this guy go to the Magical Beast Forest?"

"We haven't seen him go to the Alchemy Department for a while. I thought he had come to his senses and given up on those unrealistic ideas!"

…

Yan Qingshan's return to Jia Nan City naturally attracted a lot of attention. He had been quite famous during this period.

Xiao Yi Xian and Xue Lan were both high-quality beauties of this class. As the protagonist with two women serving one husband, he naturally provoked countless jealous eyes.

Of course, he was even more famous for being a student of Yellow Class Two but going to the Alchemy Department every day. Moreover, he learned some basic pharmacology knowledge faster and more solidly than some alchemists.

Even the Alchemy Department's instructors said that if Yan Qingshan had the talent for alchemy, he might be able to independently refine entry-level pills now.

However, although Yan Qingshan hadn't shown any intention of trying alchemy, the Alchemy Department instructors' appreciation for him remained unchanged.

Wood-attribute Dou Masters were the favorite type of people for alchemists because the pure Dou Qi of high-level wood-attribute cultivators could cultivate some high-level spiritual herbs.

Seeing Yan Qingshan's eagerness to learn, the Alchemy Department instructors were also willing to guide him in this knowledge, which made many Alchemy Department students envious.

Cultivating spiritual herbs was something the instructors taught outside of class. Even alchemy geniuses couldn't learn this technique without matching the instructor's temperament.

Yan Qingshan didn't pay attention to the discussions of some people. A group of Outer Academy trash. In two months, he wouldn't have to interact with them anymore. What was there to pay attention to?

After entering Jia Nan City, Yan Qingshan went straight to the academy's teaching area. In the Yellow Class Two classroom, Instructor Ruo Lin was teaching everyone the techniques to break through to Dou Practitioner.

Yellow Class Two wasn't considered very good in the Jia Nan Academy's Outer Academy. It could only be considered middle to lower. Most of the new students only had seven or eight segments of Dou Zhi Qi.

However, after a period of systematic study, they had basically reached the ninth segment or the peak of the ninth segment these days and could start or restart their attempts to break through to Dou Practitioner. At this time, Instructor Ruo Lin naturally had to give them systematic guidance.

When Yan Qingshan arrived at the back door, Instructor Ruo Lin was talking about the key points. He took advantage of the instructor's turn to slip in and stood behind a female student at the door.

"Shh! Xue Ni, it's me!"

Yan Qingshan made a shushing gesture to the female student who was about to scream when she turned around. This experience of sneaking into the classroom, like in college, was really exciting.

Xue Ni was an enthusiastic and plump girl with a really good figure and a bold style. She often attacked Xiao Yu and the others in certain areas. Yan Qingshan once suspected she was a lesbian.

"Be careful, the instructor is very angry that you haven't been seen for days!"

Xue Ni whispered, then slightly concealed Yan Qingshan so he could get to an empty seat.

Taking advantage of Instructor Ruo Lin's next turn, Yan Qingshan found an empty seat in the back row. Xiao Yi Xian and Xue Lan were not far away.

This class was mainly for students who hadn't broken through to Dou Practitioner, so the front row seats were given to those who needed them most. Those who had broken through could also listen and learn some techniques to better guide the later students.

"Breaking through to Dou Practitioner requires a huge amount of Dou Qi to form a cyclone. Without Qi Gathering Powder, you can only rely on yourselves to accumulate and try. This process is very much based on luck. Some people succeed once, while others fail dozens of times..."

Instructor Ruo Lin was talking about the key points on the stage, "Next, I'll talk about a technique summarized by the academy. By using the principle of Dou Qi forming a cyclone, you can compress Dou Zhi Qi step by step... Yan Qingshan, stop hiding, I saw you."

Instructor Ruo Lin felt something was wrong as she spoke. Why did the back row seem a bit strange?

Upon closer inspection, good heavens, the person surrounded by a group of girls was actually the guy who had taken three days off and wasted more than half a month. Her anger suddenly surged.

A long water whip lashed towards Yan Qingshan in the crowd with a whistling sound. Instructor Ruo Lin was so angry that she attacked this problem student. This was the first time she had done such a thing.

"Instructor, getting so angry will make you age faster!"

A wisp of Green Wood Sword Qi bloomed in Yan Qingshan's hand, easily breaking the water whip. Then, he flew to Instructor Ruo Lin's side and grabbed her wrist.

"You little rascal, I won't approve your leave slip next time."

Instructor Ruo Lin's jade face was flushed, partly from being angered by this guy and partly from the embarrassment of having her wrist grabbed. This brat didn't look like a student at all!

"Teacher, I came with a gift this time, full of sincerity to apologize."

Yan Qingshan placed a small jade bottle in Instructor Ruo Lin's hand and released her wrist. The jade bottle was warm, and the liquid inside emitted a faint white light, as if it were moving.

Instructor Ruo Lin had returned to her usual composure and looked at Yan Qingshan suspiciously, "What is this?"

Yan Qingshan smiled at Instructor Ruo Lin, "The harvest from my trip these days, Core Quenching Body Milk. These are to apologize to the instructor. After all, I only asked for three days off but was gone for so long."
