Chapter 1092

(Unedited)

…

As if looking at a fool, Xin Ja this time did not bother with the youth. Although he is a bit timid and shy, that does not mean he has no confidence in his own craft. After creating the very first complete pill he has ever made, showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Although this is the first batch of pills he has crafted he is satisfied as he has finally completed a simple pill that he has formed in his imagination. After seeing the pills, he is truly happy as they look like what he had hoped them to be, plus with the use of his absolute sense, he could tell the efficacy of the pills almost immediately.

Without looking at Go Fang, he took a pill and gave it to the teacher.

"Teacher, please check and assess the pill…" he said.

At this time, the teacher is a bit dumbfounded and just looks at the thing in his hand. He did not know what to do as this is the first time he has ever seen such a type of medicine. So far, he has seen powdered medicine and potions, but he has not seen a… pill.

In his confused state, he was about to say something when Go Fang suddenly step forward. He wanted to take the pill from the teacher's hand. But before his hand could touch the pill his body suddenly stiffen.

This is because someone faster got hold of the pill.

It was an old man wearing the same dark blue robe as the teacher in charge of the exam.

"This… this… this… Hahaha… I've seen it at last. So this is how you create a pill… Hihihi…" the old man mumbled in a crazy tone.

Everyone around him showed a confused expression, everyone, except for Qing Joming. How could he not know who this old man is? In all his life he has been tortured by this old guy and no matter what he does it seems that he could not satisfy the old man's high standards when it comes to potions. This made him feel a bit dejected for a while and this is also one of the reasons why he decided to enter the academy.

"Master Lang…" Qing Joming saluted.

The old man just glances at him but waved his hand and turns his attention back to the pill.

At this time, Go Fang wanted to say something but he was stopped by Tang Bai.

"You should not say anything anymore… That old man is someone whom you should not offend." Tang Bai said in a hushed tone.

Not everyone is as foolish as Go Fang, when they noticed the old man and the reaction of the teachers around, they knew that this simple-looking old man with unkempt hair is someone who is part of the higher-ups in the academy. So how could they not keep their silence and just observe?

"You there… come with me…" Master Lang suddenly said while pointing at Xin Ja who is looking at the situation with a befuddled look.

The old man suddenly frowns when he saw the reaction of the young man.

Qing Joming quickly reacted and ran to Xin Ja's side.

"Follow teacher, you don't have to take any more tests with you getting his attention." Qing Joming whispered.

Xin Ja was still a bit baffled and just nodded his head.

The three of them left the area under everyone's envious eyes.

…

Pak!!!

The sound of someone getting his by something echoed in the room.

Qing Joming is currently holding his head while grimacing in pain.

"Teacher, if you hit me more, I will surely turn dumb…" Qing Joming wailed.

"Dumb?! You're already this dumb so how could you turn even dumber?!" Master Lang shouted while putting back the thick scroll in his hand.

"Who told you to not tell me that you are entering the academy?" the old man berated.

"But… But I told you before that I wanted to enter the academy…" Qing Joming replied with a frown still clutching his head.

"And… what did I say?" Master Lang glared.

"That… that I have to wait…"

"That's right!"

"But master… It's been a year already. If I could not enter the academy, then…"

"You're still a level 1 Ki fighter, how could you be so presumptuous. I told you that I will help you reach level 2, right?"

The two began to banter like father and son, which made Xin Ja feel a bit embarrassed but also warm. He could feel such warmth with his father, so he could understand that Master Lang truly cares for this student of his.

"Alright… since you are here, you need to work hard to learn more, and… do not waste materials!" Master Lang acquiesced after the two discussed.

"Sorry about that… As you have known this foolish friend of yours is one of my disciples. The weakest one…" Master Lang said while glaring at Qing Joming.

Qing Joming just rolled his eyes, how could he not know the temperament of his teacher…

"Young man… I am really surprised that you are able to create pills… Haha… I am willing to exchange this knowledge with anything that you wanted while in the academy." Master Lang said straightforwardly.

Xin Ja was a bit surprised at the offer. How could he not know that the old man is trying to give him something for such a simple thing as creating the pill?

Seeing the reaction in the young man's eyes which looks like hesitation, Master Lang suddenly corrected his words.

"Do not be mistaken. I have seen the process of you creating the pill. Some might have not known, but I already could tell how you did it. So as an exchange, tell me what you want."

"This… Are… are you sure about this… teacher?" Xin Ja asked with a hint of doubt.

A slight smile appears on the old man's face.

"The pill you created is actually equivalent to a healing potion, right? And from what I could tell from the purity of your refinement, it has reached around 2nd or even 3rd level in quality. That could already be considered as a mid-level quality potion…" Master Lang said with a smile.

"Ma… Master… How did you know?" this time Qing Joming was the one asking with a surprised expression.

"Humph… I was there from the start. When I heard your name, I immediately rush towards the examination ground. When I arrive who would have known that I would see such a spectacle?! Haha…"

Realization immediately downed on Xin Ja upon hearing those words.

"If… If the teacher really thinks so, then it would be my honor. I… I just wanted to have a normal school life… That's it." Xin Ja replied shyly.

"Hmm… Xin Jong truly has a good son. I have had some dealings with your father before… He is a good man who has a good son… Haha…" Master Lang said.

"Alright, if ever you need anything in the alchemy department you can tell me. I am Lang Waixang, an elder in the alchemy department."

"Thank you, teacher…"

…

Xin Ja and Qin Joming walks out of the office room and quickly went to the registration counter of the academy with the recommendation letter on hand.

As they enter, they saw a beautiful woman sitting behind the desk.

"Hello, miss beautiful…" Qing Joming suddenly said while leaning on the counter.

The woman just raised one of her brows but did not look at the two. She just busied herself with her work.

"Hello, we are here to register…" Xin Ja suddenly said not wanting to hear the antics of his new friend.

When the woman heard this, she lifted her gaze and then showed a faint smile. She received the two's recommendation letter and then recorded it. She then gave the two a nameplate which will serve as their ID badge in the academy.

According to the woman, the nameplate has many functions in the academy. Other than identification, it could also serve as a point register in and out of the academy. Although points can only be used inside the academy that does not mean it is useless as the academy has many treasures and resources available for exchange.

To gain points, one could either, kill a beast and take its important parts to the academy, or do some quest for someone and be given the quest completion certificate. That way, the academy could grant them the points gained for such tasks.

As the woman explained to the two many different things they could gain in the academy while exchanging points, they too realized that the academy is actually not that simple. The academy is both an educational institution, and the kingdom's resources depot.

After learning many things from the woman, the two left and thank her.

"So where should we be heading next?" Qing Joming asked while hanging his badge on his belt.

Xin Ja shook his head at how Qing Joming just hung his badge on his belt. He thinks that it's not that safe. He on the other hand kept it secretly in his ring.

"Hey… Would you like to see the auction for the mysterious space inventory they are calling… the Mule?" Qing Joming suddenly suggested.
