"Sounds like I have so asure of public esteem."
The old lady chuckled nostalgically, and once Jiang Tongguang had left, she raised her hand and patted the chair beside her, addressing Ji Jue: "Sit down first, you're constantly standing, it's awkward for you, and uncomfortable for too."
"Yes."
Ji Jue sat upright, respectfully handing over his nurous papers, including but not limited to those published and unpublished, even not missing his initial notes from his apprentice stage and his professional papers from the Academy of chanical Engineering.
These were all requirents from the Carrion Eater. Any theoretical work would suffice, but it's best not to omit anything. If the details are really inconvenient to show, a general summary would do.
After all, when the old lady rarely showed interest in guiding the younger generation, one must not be ungrateful.
In the entire world, regarding instruction and guidance, there's no one better than her!
The achievents are genuinely verifiable.
For four hundred years of tireless teaching, none under her tutelage turned out to be diocre; even those with occasional highlights among the ordinary, after her guidance, always achieved so comprehension.
Consuming all poison of decay, discarding the outdated and embracing the new.
She divided alchemy into classical and modern transitions, severing the ignorance and flaws of ancient traditions, maximally lowering the threshold of alchemy, allowing even the ordinary to enter the realm of Ember and achieve sothing.
Without her leadership and call to arms, without her persistent four hundred years, there would be no existing Association and no modern alchemy today.
Different from fellows like Heavenly Furnace, the one in front of him, whether in actions or moral character, deserved Ji Jue's respect.
"Not bad, it's interesting... Here, there's a bit of assumption, hmm, but later on, it's revised, pretty good."
The Carrion Eater, wearing glasses, flipped through the works like an old teacher reviewing assignnts, scanning ten lines at a glance and occasionally providing so comnts: "The direction of Three Phases Flow is correct, but this direction is too high and far-reaching, likely taking decades or centuries to gradually perfect.
Compared to the fluidity passed down by the Saints, the foundations of solid alchemy are too thin, and the developnt direction of Gas Alchemy is excessively radical.
If ignored, subsequent developnts might limit your progress. As for what to do specifically, that's up to you. Take note and you can find so books in the large library...
Ye's Nine Types have been revised significantly, hmm, there's still great potential for improvent, but the ideas are good.
So past issues... well, it's all in the past, revering the ancient is inferior to having no ancient at all. Ah Xuan did well on this point, and you learned well too."
As she spoke, she singled out the paper on reducing waste while enhancing quality, setting it aside, shaking her head with a sigh, repeating her past comnts:
"Though well-written, try not to write like this in the future."
"Ah? Okay, yes!"
Ji Jue nodded repeatedly in assurance.
"You are already a master; be mindful of your influence. No need to try and provoke others—if truly dissatisfied, strike directly. Sotis it's fine to show off a bit, but in so areas, one must be mindful of the impact."
She turned back, presenting a solemn deanor: "Many apprentices accumulate points for years; they may only have this one or two opportunities to turn their lives around.
Although this paper is feasible, ultimately, it's unsuitable for them, and might even have a contrary effect. If they blindly follow and believe in it, and mistakenly act upon it, would you regret it?"
"...What you say is true, I am enlightened."
Ji Jue nodded, wholeheartedly convinced.
Thus, the Carrion Eater smiled, continuing to read.
From beginning to end, apart from theoretical comnts and communication, this was the only request the Carrion Eater made of Ji Jue.
Besides, there were no other words.
Neither concerning moral standing nor quality of character, nor even Ji Jue's many internal contradictions, none were cared about.
Perhaps completely unaware.
But whenever her gaze landed on him, Ji Jue would always feel a chill down his back. As if being scrutinized by a craftsman, everything was clear.
It seed as though rely through dry papers, the entire picture had been outlined, even more seen...
Yet she never ntioned it, acting as though she didn't know.
Perhaps?
Perhaps, she just simply doesn't care.
"Haven't seen such a tricky situation for a long ti." When she put down the papers, her expression imdiately beca complex, sighing with sympathy: "Being your teacher must be very exhausting and challenging."
"..."
Ji Jue hesitated.
He felt that his relationship with his teacher was rather harmonious, relaxed and simple, with no burden on either side.
Wait, isn't it so?!
