”What? He is going to concoct a grade 4 Transforming Essence pill here?”
”Is he for real? I know that he is an extremely formidable person in combat, but as for concoction? I doubt a person could have so many talents at such a young age!”
”Let's just wait and see if his words amount to his capabilities at all.”
Ding Huiqing eyes opened wide when she heard this from Duan Li.
Here I was trying to end things as they were, but you just had to push it through!
Hais!
”Are you certain about this?” she asked Duan Li, trying one last time to dissuade him.
”Yes, I am.” Duan Li nodded confidently.
Now that he was doubted by someone, if he did not untie this knot, pretty soon, rumors would began to spread as more doubted his capabilities.
If that were to happen, he would have trouble in convincing others in the future later on.
”Fine. But do you have the necessities? For the ingredients, I could sell them to you with my access level as a 4 Star rank Herbalism practitioner. Although I'm pretty sure that the ingredients for a Transforming Essence pill are quite expensive for a junior student, thus, how about I loan them to you for now?” Ding Huiqing asked out of concern.
Hearing this, Duan Li smiled as he shook his head. Waving his right hand where the spatial ring was located on, a High quality spirit stone appeared on top of the table.
Huala!
When the crowd saw this, they all exclaimed in shock and surprises.
”A-Are my eyes playing tricks on me? That's a High quality spirit stone right over there!”
”God damn it! He is a rich profligate son!”
”This is my first time seeing one! To think that the spiritual Qi density in it would be this thick! No wonder they are called High quality spirit stones!”
”Indeed! Even a hundred thousand Low quality spirit stones would not amount to the purity of a single High quality spirit stone at all!”
Ding Huiqing swallowed her saliva seeing Duan Li took out a High quality spirit stone casually. She does have a few of them, but that was her entire savings and it could be counted with only just one hand!
”Teacher, if it would not trouble you, please purchase for me 3 sets of the ingredients to concoct a Transforming Essence pill, as well as these additional herbs from this list.” Duan Li handed out a small paper containing a list of herbs to Ding Huiqing and made his request respectfully.
After all, the other party was still a teacher of the academy and as a student, he must conduct himself properly as the other party was amiable to him as well.
”En. Hold on for a moment.” Ding Huiqing said to Duan Li as she sent out for an order of the required ingredients using a special blue jade slip.
While waiting for the ingredients to be delivered, Duan Li set up the three Revolting-Heavens cauldron in the three directions of a triangle.
BAM!
The enormous cauldron made a large sound as they propped atop of the platform.
”Huh? Isn't that the Revolting-Heavens cauldron? Don't tell me that he is going to concoct the grade 4 Transforming Essence pill using those?”
”This is weird. I know that those are the most expensive cauldron ever, but those are used specifically for body tempering only!”
”Hah! He must be just an idiot rich silkpants who knew nothing about concocting pills and were just trying to show off his wealth!”
Sounds of people whispering to each other could be heard as they waited patiently.
It was supposed to be lunchtime now, but none seemed to want to leave the classroom at the moment, afraid that they would be missing in a great show here.
Crunch!
The sound of a crispy fried chicken being bit through resounded inside the classroom, accompanied with a mouth-watering aroma.
The crowd swerved their heads immediately to look for the source of this sound and aroma, only to see a young female student sitting casually with a bucket full of fried chicken drumstick on her hand while eating with another hand blissfully.
She was Xiahou Yu.
”Damn it! If I had known for this to happen after the class, I would have brought myself a bucket of fried chicken beforehand too!”
”Curses! Now I am hungry!”
Some of the crowd began to feel that their stomach started to rumble at the sight of Xiahou Yu eating fried chicken so casually while waiting for the show to continue.
Duan Li shook his head as he let out a small chuckle at the sight of this, ”This Xiahou Yu is really too candid!”
He then made a mental note on the current time and there was about an hour away before the Duel between the shortlisted applicants would start at the academy's Dueling platform.
”An hour is plenty of time for me, I could finish this before then.” Duan Li nodded as he said to himself.
Knock! Knock!
”Purple Lightning delivery! Here to deliver your express package!” the voice of a courier man could be heard outside the classroom as he went in.
The courier man then waved his hand as rows of herbs began to appear from his spatial ring lined up neatly onto the table.
”Please check the items carefully and make sure that we did not make any mistake in the delivery process. Once you are satisfied, please sign here.” the courier man handed out a paper form respectfully to Duan Li.
