Yuan Chunhua was dazed and wondered if Jiang Ming had hit his head on the floor.
"Automatic refinement?" She raised an eyebrow. "Did you drink before or did the situation here frightened you?"
It was common knowledge that every alchemist had to personally refine their pills in a cauldron. Even the best of the best alchemists had to sit down and refine pills in a serene situation.
Yet, Jiang Ming was telling her that he was refining some pills without doing anything.
She would be crazy if she believed his words.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ming could only sigh at the ridiculous look that Yuan Chunhua showed him.
He was being genuine and wasn't bluffing. Alas, the people here simply do not understand the enormous advantages of having a Game Lord's Cultivation System by their side.
What they cannot do, Jiang Ming could do it as long as he reached the qualification to do so.
"Instructor Yuan Chunhua, just give me a few minutes." Jiang Ming said.
"In just a few minutes, you would be able to tell if I'm going crazy or simply a genius."
Yuan Chunhua narrowed her eyes. She was holding a doubtful look and pondered for a moment.
She breathed out a soft sigh and stared at him. "Fine, but let me warn you, if you are just wasting time here, then I'm going to beat you to a pulp."
Jiang Ming nodded his head.
"Then what happens if I'm not bluffing or trolling? What reward do I get from you?" He asked.
"Nothing."
"That's a pretty unfair deal, Instructor Yuan Chunhua. You're telling me that I will get beaten into a pulp if I fail to deliver my words, but if I did deliver it, then I will receive nothing."
Yuan Chunhua shrugged her shoulders.
"Benefits of being a young and beautiful woman. If you don't like it, then you could also snip that thing beneath your waist and become one."
Jiang Ming twitched his mouth.
Just why did everyone turn into a shameless person as soon as they interacted with him?
He was a modest and honest man, yet people kept taking advantage of him.
'Life is so unfair,' he thought.
Sometime later, a system prompt popped out, bringing Jiang Ming back to business.
Ding!
<Skyheart Pill has been finished>
<Total amount received from the automatic refinement: 3>
__
Jiang Ming curled his lips upward at such a high success rate. With trash ingredients, he was still able to receive 3 Skyheart Pill.
He quickly retrieved two of the Skyheart Pill and threw one toward Yuan Chunhua.
"What the-" Yuan Chunhua exclaimed in shock when she glanced at the purity of the pill.
It was a flawless pill with zero impurities, but that wasn't the main point. She could subtly feel the heat still residing in the Skyheart Pill, indicating that it was freshly refined.
"Shock, surprise, disbelief, and denial?" Jiang Ming listed a few emotions as he described the current Yuan Chunhua.
"If only I could take a picture of your current expression, then I would be a millionaire by selling them. You are way too cute when you get overwhelmed by my capability." He teased heartily.
Yuan Chunhua ignored his teasing as she held the pill tightly.
"How did you do it?" She asked solemnly.
Jiang Ming shrugged his shoulders.
"Benefits of being a young and handsome man. If you don't like it, then you could try to grow one in between your legs." He said, teasing her back with her own words.
Just because she was his instructor doesn't mean that he would take her insult in and keep it to himself.
If there is a chance for revenge, then by all means he would take it.
This was the mindset of a gamer that had crawled his way to the top. Nobody and nothing can topple him and expect to get away with it.
Of course, the demoness Qi Shan was an exception and Jiang Ming would rather not think of her.
Sometime later, Jiang Ming consumed the Skyheart Pill while taking a step forward to the entrance of the inner zone.
"Let's go instructor Yuan Chunhua. Like you said before, we have wasted too many valuable times already." He said calmly, purposely avoiding his method of producing a Skyheart Pill.
A Skyheart Pill may only be ranked as a 3rd tier alchemy pill, but the effect on it is equivalent to a 4th tier pill.
Not only can the Skyheart Pill protect the cultivator's heart from any critical damage, but it can also nullify poison that had seeped into their body.
Thus, it was a very valuable and scarce pill since the ingredients required to refine one are rare to find.
That was because medical pills naturally required ingredients of the substance that they needed to cure. Ingredients requirements such as poisonous magical beasts that could easily inflict and kill cultivators in mere seconds.
Yuan Chunhua stared at the Skyheart Pill for a brief moment before consuming it as well.
She didn't suspect that he would do any foul play here.
After consuming the Skyheart Pill, she followed Jiang Ming as they entered the inner zone of the Guilong Forest.
"Hold up a minute, Jiang Ming." Yuan Chunhua said, handing him a talisman.
"The talisman is inlaid with a protective barrier."
Jiang Ming showed a slight smile as he nodded his head.
Despite not showing it, he could tell she was worried about him and the talisman could be some sort of charm.
"Instructor Yuan Chunhua is really a caring woman," he teased.
Meanwhile, in the outskirts of the Guilong Forest, a gentle and beautiful woman was calmly sitting on top of a tree branch, swinging her long legs left and right.
"Aiyah, how could Jiang Ming really ditch me and enter the inner zone with another beauty?" Qi Shan giggled softly.
"Fufu, just wait till I'm done with the matters here, Jiang Ming. I will definitely give you a real nice headache afterward."
From above, she could see the arrival of the academy students, and she couldn't help but play around with her fingers.
With her devilish smile, she prayed for the students.
Most of them would not be able to witness another day once they step foot inside the Guilong Forest.
