164: What's wrong with me being able to make pills? Killing people and making pills both require steady hands!
In the eyes of the freshmen, Tang Gao was initially a very talented, hardworking, and powerful big brother who could lead everyone to soar.
But after these few incidents, everyone's awe of Tang Gao increased infinitely, and their fear also greatly improved.
Previously, everyone liked to describe Tang Gao as a ruthless person.
Now it's different; now everyone likes to use Tang Gao to describe ruthless people.
"You are truly Tang Gao."
Meaning, you are truly ruthless.
"It's so quiet, this is the first time I've ever had such a quiet class. What the heck, you're here, kid? No wonder," Li Nezha walked in, grumbling, holding a book. Seeing his beloved disciple sitting in the first row, he understood the situation very well.
Tang Gao was shocked: "Teacher, you actually teach!"
Li Nezha sighed: "Damn it, I didn't have to, but after recruiting you, I have to teach now.
Alright, all of you sit properly, don't make me slap each one of you."
Because of Tang Gao, the freshmen were sitting askew, but upon seeing Revered One Li enter, they immediately sat up straight, not daring to speak.
Li Nezha turned his head, looking at the unfamiliar digital blackboard and the unfamiliar projector next to it, and frowned: "Who among you knows how to use this? Come and set it up.
It's for attendance, right? So troublesome."
Tang Gao was speechless for a moment, synchronized the Mechanical Yuanzun's talent, pointed his finger, and finished: "Installation complete, Teacher, you can communicate with the AI."
Li Nezha curiously looked at the automatically lit computer and projector, and couldn't help but tease: "Am I, Tang, unable to hack the base's main computer?"
Tang Gao shrugged: "I didn't hack it."
"Heh heh, alright, all of you scan this, then click 'cancel attendance for today' and let me see how many people have signed in."
The freshmen in the classroom obediently clicked 'cancel attendance' and quietly watched the attendance on the big screen.
Li Nezha casually glanced at it, satisfied: "Good, I thought few people would come to this idiotic basic Alchemy class, but I didn't expect so many people to be interested this year."
Ao Yuan muttered in a low voice: "I wasn't interested initially either, but the advertisement said this could treat diarrhea."
The freshmen in the middle and back rows nodded in agreement; even if they couldn't learn Alchemy well, learning how to treat diarrhea was still good.
The school knows how to attract new students.
Li Nezha tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth to keep from laughing, then began to lecture, taking out a Pill Furnace: "Alright, first, I will explain the Dao of Alchemy to everyone.
In the course of our human development, we have learned to use the power of heaven and earth to strengthen ourselves through Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Formations, and other methods.
Our claws are duller than the Yao Race, so we have Artifact Refining.
Our Physique is extremely weak, so we have Alchemy.
Our perception is inferior to the Spirit Race, so we have Formations.
No matter which Dao, our ultimate goal is to strengthen ourselves.
A gentleman is not born different; he is good at making use of things.
This is what it means.
Alright, I'll tell you another boast that every subject teacher tells, which is that if our Alchemy is missing from this world, it will truly stop functioning.
Hahahahaha!"
Li Nezha laughed heartily; this was a standard routine for every discipline, where they tried to boast to boost the freshmen's confidence and sense of belonging.
Li Nezha disdained this, but also found this idiotic saying amusing.
The freshmen were also amused and started laughing along.
Tang Gao chuckled softly, feeling that university was completely different from the high-pressure high school.
After Li Nezha finished laughing, he began to speak seriously: "Remember, all things in heaven and earth are for my use, but not for my possession.
Alright, I'll start by explaining the Alchemy equipment to you, and then we'll play around with the first-order Qi Cultivation Pill."
Next was a very traditional introduction to the equipment. Li Nezha explained each Alchemy equipment and the precautions for Alchemy techniques very seriously and in detail, and also thoughtfully reminded them that every Alchemist must prepare an emergency alarm button that directly contacts the school doctor.
Every year, some foolish Alchemists poison themselves, and in severe cases, they might even die on the spot.
The dry and boring introduction process ended. Li Nezha directly took out the Pill Furnace and began to refine pills, explaining while casting Spells:
"The Qi Cultivation Pill is the most commonly used Medicinal Pill in your Cultivation process. Its quality directly determines your future development speed. I will carefully introduce my Alchemy technique; watch closely..."
Tang Gao tried hard to widen his eyes to observe the teacher's refining technique, but soon frowned, feeling extremely unfamiliar and full of flaws.
Tang Gao felt very surprised, wondering why the teacher would use such a technique, but quickly realized that it wasn't that the teacher used this technique, but that the freshmen could only learn this technique.
High school did not have Alchemy teaching, and some freshmen did not understand this knowledge.
This was also why he had cultivated his Fire Control Spell to Advanced and demonstrated it publicly, thinking he was just showing off his skill, but not realizing that his skill had already surpassed that of ordinary Geniuses.
To put it simply, he, a high school student, had already completed the prerequisites for postgraduate studies.
After Li Nezha finished refining the Medicinal Pill, he looked at it amusingly and then at Tang Gao: "Don't be lazy, kid. Come up here, I'll test you. Tell me, what's the quality of this Medicinal Pill?
I remember your best talent back then was your Alchemy talent."
Of course, later, this most powerful talent became Evil Qi talent.
The university students in the classroom were all dumbfounded, never expecting to hear such words from Revered One Li.
"What? Tang Gao's strongest talent is Alchemy?"
"What the heck? The killing god who sharpens his knife and cuts people every day actually knows how to do such delicate work?"
"I wish I had ears that hadn't heard that."
Tang Gao stood up speechlessly and walked towards the podium, complaining: "What's wrong with me knowing Alchemy? Killing people and Alchemy, don't they both require steady hands?"
The air was dead silent.
What you said makes so much sense!
The university students silently continued to shift further back.
Tang Gao came up, took a look, and said directly: "High Grade quality. To refine High Grade with such a trashy technique, that's quite a unique skill."
Li Nezha rolled his eyes and pushed the Pill Furnace directly in front of him: "If you're so good, you do it. A reminder, you have to consider the level and conditions of these freshmen."
I am good, but the problem is these freshmen are too weak. If I use a more Advanced technique, they won't be able to learn it.
Tang Gao chuckled and started: "I just happened to optimize the Qi Cultivation Pill. Its efficacy exceeds the basic version by twenty percent. Come, Teacher, I'll show you!"
Coincidentally, I haven't done anything for almost a year except research Pill Formulas.
Tang Gao synchronized the talent and abilities of the Shennong Alchemist and directly started the Pill Furnace to refine pills.
Li Nezha picked his nose, looking disdainful: "Are you kidding me? Twenty percent optimization? Do you know how hard it is to improve this broken basic Pill Formula?"
The furnace fire rose, and a large pile of medicinal materials were directly thrown in by Tang Gao. To make it easier for everyone to see, Tang Gao thoughtfully used a perspective Spell to project it, allowing everyone to observe.
Li Nezha's eyebrow twitched, feeling that something was wrong. How could this kid's Alchemy technique be as experienced as an old hand?
Yes, exactly like that kind of old hand whose methods don't conform to standard regulations but produce excellent results.
Tang Gao calculated for a moment, placing the Yang Fire on the left and the Yin Fire on the right, refining them separately and perfectly balancing the temperature within.
Finding the efficiency a bit slow, he simply divided the flames into several more clusters to refine pills separately.
To enhance the Alchemy effect, he even deliberately performed the first-order Limit Alchemy and Fire Control Spell.
Li Nezha's face darkened: "You're using this to refine a first-order Medicinal Pill?"
You're deliberately looking for trouble, aren't you?
If they could do this, would they still need to sit down there?
The technique is indeed first-order, but the awareness is not first-order.
Tang Gao smiled: "Just tell me if it's something a first-order person can learn, okay?"
Li Nezha was filled with the urge to complain: "Alright, students, apart from his synchronized pill refining steps, the rest is still very much worth learning.
You refine first, and I'll scold you after you're done."
