Early the next morning.
Jiang Xuan and Jiang Ling arrived early at the great hall in the west wing.
That area was a bit more remote, so family mbers rarely disturbed it.
So of the halls were even completely empty.
Jiang Xuan looked up at the sky.
He frowned and said, "Jiang Ling, the Young Master told us to co here so early, saying he’d teach us Alchemy. Do you believe him?"
He seriously doubted whether Jiang Chen knew any Alchemy Skill at all.
And he’d made them co over so early.
It wasn’t that they were lazy or afraid of hard work; enduring hardship was fine.
But it would only be worth it if they could actually learn the Alchemy Skill.
Since he was so skeptical of Jiang Chen, Jiang Xuan couldn’t help but complain a little about getting up so early to co here.
Like Jiang Xuan, Jiang Ling was a young mber of the Jiang Family. She had been assigned by the family to study the Alchemy Skill long ago, but she hadn’t learned anything.
Instead, Ling Xuan had just cursed them out for two years, berating them viciously.
After a mont of thought, Jiang Ling sighed.
"Who knows?"
"In any case, we didn’t learn a thing from Ling Xuan in two years."
"Now Young Master Jiang Chen says he’ll teach us the Alchemy Skill. Let’s just go along with it and see what happens. I’ve pretty much given up on learning it, anyway."
But Jiang Xuan still looked unwilling to give up.
He was dead set on learning the Alchemy Skill.
The Jiang Family’s circumstances didn’t allow him to study sowhere better.
After all, legends spoke of the mysterious Celestial Academy, where one could learn anything they desired, including the Alchemy Skill.
Of course, getting into the Celestial Academy was incredibly difficult, not to ntion the exorbitant tuition fees.
There were also aptitude requirents.
The Celestial Academy would not accept anyone who wasn’t a true, peerless genius.
Jiang Xuan was hardly a genius, so he had no hope at all.
He mulled it over for a while.
Then, he gave a bitter smile.
"He made us co here so early, but he’s probably still sleeping in."
"Jiang Ling, we might as well just go back."
By now, with no sign of Jiang Chen, the two of them had lost whatever hope they had in him.
Jiang Ling shook her head and insisted, "Let’s wait a little longer."
"You two are really late."
Just then, a voice suddenly ca from nearby.
It startled Jiang Xuan and Jiang Ling, sending a shiver down their spines.
They quickly turned to look in the direction of the voice.
On the roof of the great hall, they saw a figure sitting like a ghostly silhouette.
They quickly realized who it was. Jiang Xuan recognized the voice as Jiang Chen’s.
He hurried closer for a better look.
He was instantly taken aback.
"Ah, it’s Young Master Jiang Chen."
Jiang Xuan could hardly believe his eyes.
Jiang Ling was stunned as well.
"Young Master Jiang Chen, you were here already?"
Atop the great hall’s roof, Jiang Chen patted the dirt from his clothes.
He leaped down, landing in front of them.
He nodded.
"Yes, I’ve been here for a while."
What?
Jiang Xuan and Jiang Ling had thought Jiang Chen was sleeping in, but he had actually arrived even earlier than they had.
This completely shattered their perception of him.
Of course, they had no idea that Jiang Chen was the one who had recently been refining the Jiang Family’s Elixirs.
And it was obvious that Jiang Chen had overheard everything they had just said.
It was slightly awkward.
Jiang Ling glanced at Jiang Chen’s face and saw that he seed fine, not angry at all.
To dispel the awkwardness, Jiang Ling asked, "Young Master Jiang Chen, how long have you been here?"
Jiang Chen said nonchalantly, "Only about two hours."
At that mont, both Jiang Xuan and Jiang Ling gasped.
He arrived two hours ago.
’He must have gotten up so early!’
They now felt a sincere admiration for the Young Master.
But Jiang Chen spoke up.
He looked at the two young family mbers. They were both a bit younger than him.
He said sternly, "Rember, no matter what you do, you must prepare ticulously."
"Learning the Alchemy Skill is no different."
"I will only teach you for one month. If you can’t learn the Alchemy Skill in that ti, then it’s just not in your fate."
"Of course, it would also an your effort wasn’t enough."
At this, Jiang Xuan and Jiang Ling were a bit dumbfounded.
At the sa ti, they suddenly felt like they were being taken seriously.
They had begged Ling Xuan to teach them, only to be ignored.
Now, Jiang Chen was taking the initiative to teach them the Alchemy Skill. Instead of being discouraged by his words, they were filled with extre excitent.
"Young Master, we will definitely study hard and not disappoint you."
Setting everything else aside, Jiang Chen’s words alone were enough to earn their respect.
The two of them had wanted to learn the Alchemy Skill all along.
Seeing how confident Jiang Chen was, they figured he wouldn’t act like this if he didn’t have so real ability.
They imdiately nodded again and again.
Jiang Chen didn’t waste any more words.
He took out two Qiankun Bags, one for each of them.
"From today onward, you will do exactly as I say every day."
"Work until you move yourself. Push yourselves to the absolute limit."
"Inside each Qiankun Bag is a mory Jade Token. It contains information on all the Alchemy Materials—their functions, effects, and appearances."
Jiang Xuan and Jiang Ling opened their Qiankun Bags and took out the mory Jade Tokens.
They were astonished.
A mory Jade Token wasn’t an incredibly expensive item, but it was worth at least a hundred yuan crystals.
A mory Jade Token could be used to record Cultivation Techniques or even ssages with one’s Divine Thought. It was a common tool in the Martial Cultivation Realm.
And Jiang Chen had just given one to each of them without a second thought.
Jiang Chen said, "You have two days to morize everything inside. You must have it all morized within two days."
"If you can’t, then you don’t need to continue learning from ."
"Also, you are forbidden from passing on what I teach you to anyone outside the Jiang Family. If I find out you’ve secretly taught it to soone else, I will personally cut off your heads."
He spoke with extre seriousness. Although what he was teaching Jiang Xuan and Jiang Ling wasn’t everything he knew, it was still a tenth of it.
It was enough to last them a lifeti, and even enough to lead the Jiang Family to glory.
This knowledge was all extrely precious and rare.
He didn’t want any trouble, which was why he warned them so sternly.
Hearing this, Jiang Xuan and Jiang Ling felt a chill in their hearts.
Their spirits even trembled with fear.
But they also knew that knowledge of the Alchemy Skill was absolutely priceless.
A single Elixir Recipe was a priceless treasure.
They hurriedly and respectfully nodded.
"Young Master Jiang Chen, we understand."
"We will never pass it on to outsiders."
Jiang Chen said in a low voice, "Begin imdiately. This great hall will be your place of study. No one will co to disturb you."
With that, Jiang Chen turned and left.
But after just a few steps, he turned back and said, "I’ll see you again in two days."
Then, he vanished.
Jiang Xuan and Jiang Ling were left in a daze.
This was clearly not the sa Jiang Chen they had imagined.
Now, they didn’t even need to doubt whether Jiang Chen knew Alchemy.
’Young Master Jiang Chen made thorough preparations right after he spoke to us yesterday. It’s simply incredible!’
A sense of admiration for Jiang Chen suddenly blood in Jiang Ling’s heart.
Without another thought, the two of them imdiately imrsed their Divine Thought into the mory Jade Tokens.
