Chapter 215: Catalyst Essence Serum

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The news of a handsome and young visiting professor arriving at the biology department quickly swept across the biology department and spread into other faculties in the university.

There were all sorts of opinions about this development. Some older professors shook their heads and lamented the current low standards of the Jinlin City University. The t.i.tle of Visiting Professor at the biology department carried much more weight than that of the fine arts and should never be so easily given to anyone without strong technical background and experience. In addition, to run a public open elective was not a small task and the quality of the cla.s.s also had important implications.

What young boy less than twenty years old knew anything about Life Science?

Driven by envy, the young instructors of the school filed into the School Princ.i.p.al’s office and lodged their protest for this brazen nepotism.

When Xue Jiao returned her office, she was greeted by a roomful of people. They asked her right away.

“Xue Jiao, do you have a handle on Professor Chen’s background? Is he from another university?”

“Xiao Xue, whos a.s.s did he have to kiss to get in here?”

“Sister Xue, how does Professor Chen look? Is he really as handsome as everyone says?”

Xue Jiao was bombarded by questions that she had no answers to. She hurried a reply: “I really don’t know the answers. Professor Chen doesn’t seem to talk much. However, I believe he has never been an instructor anywhere, he likely was a student before this.”

“A student filling the visiting professor’s position?” The entire office boiled over.

Xue Jiao immediately regretted her words. Seeing the green light in everyone’s eyes, she hurried to explain: “But I can tell Professor Chen knows about Life Science and he used to work at the military.”

“Hehe, Xiao Qi, you are too gullible.” An old a.s.sistant professor shook his head and lamented. “Even if we generously a.s.sume that he is a prodigy and is able to finish his university at the age of 14, he would still need two to three years to finish his Masters and Ph.D. degree. That would put him around seventeen. So you do the math, and tell me how many years he had been solely devoted to his research?”

“Scientific research takes time. Every project we are running would take at least one to two years if not even longer. The only way to suddenly rise to prominence at such a young age is to steal other people’s work.”

“Just so! Professor Hu is right!” Many people nodded and said.

“The kids nowadays can’t even leave the research field alone. It’s the last bastion of honesty and integrity, yet, they had to come here and mess things up! What a shame, what a shame!” Another old professor lamented vehemently.

Han Dongyu cracked a cold smile and then returned to his own work. He had never considered Chen Fan his worthy opponent.

Feeling everyone’s doubt toward Chen Fan, Xue Jiao started to waver as well.

Chen Fan really didn’t have the vibe of a well-learned and renowned biologist.

“Is he really after the fame of being a visiting professor?”

Xue Jiao thought to herself.

After Chen Fan returned to the Business School, he had changed his appearance back to his former self.

“Brother Chen, you are back!” Zhang Mu was the only person that said hi to him when Chen Fan entered the dorm.

Qiu Yilun buried his head in the large volume of English textbook, while Qiu Yilun was nowhere to be seen. Chen Fan walked over to the bed and laid down. He closed his eyes and started to plan his cultivation project.

“Jin City was surrounded by mountains and rivers that were filled with Spirit Qi. It would be great if I could find a location that was similar to the Yun Wu Mountain so that I could cast a large Spirit Gathering Array much larger than the one I cast before. This Spirit Gathering Array will have to be large enough to cover a dozen acres that I will be using to cultivate spirit herbs.”

“Although I have the Yi Wood Spirit Qi that can promote the growth of the herbs, I won’t be able to do everything myself due to the scale of the task. I remembered something called ‘Catalyst Essence Serum’ that could kick off the growth of the spirit herbs. Let me see… what was the recipe for the serum?”

Chen Fan recalled in his mind.

In the realm of Immortal Cultivation, there were countless means to boost the growth of a spirit herb. The simplest method was to grow the herb in an environment that was filled with Spirit Qi, such as the sacred ground at the center of the True Martial Celestial Sect. There, the spirit herbs could grow a few centimeters each day and within ten days, the herbs could reach the same maturity as a thousand-year-old herbs in the mortal world. In addition, there were many growth-boosting serums and solutions one could use on the herbs.

However, earth lacked the ingredients to create those solutions.

The condition on earth reminded Chen Fan of a few other Qi-deprived planets he had visited, where cultivators had used the power of technology to advance their cultivation due to the severe lack of Qi.

“This Catalyst Essence Serum required a specific kind of yeast to create. The main function of the serum was to boost the growth of the spirit herbs. However, it was also useful in strengthening the human’s body, just like the Yun Wu Spirit Water.” Chen Fan thought to himself as he rubbed his chin.
