Chapter 411: Ye Chong's the teacher again!

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Guan Jin was the most carefully fostered member in Guan family, that she had her own laboratory, and freedom to research on whichever branch of the alchemy. Not even her father, the leader of the family could have a word on her preferences.

The room was filled with all sorts of utensils. The air was fresher than what one would expect in a laboratory thanks to the superior air ventilation. This was the first professional laboratory Ye Chong witnessed in the free space zone. He was not familiar with most of the apparatuses there. He recognized a few since he had seen them in Lunatic Guan's encyclopedia entries before. Well, he was not a novice and he could guess the functions of these foreign utensils at one glance.

He did enter the place however, as he had perceived 8 spots of threats while he stood by the entrance. Speaking of entrance, there were three of them.

The lady seemed to be rather skillful at handling these reagents. The anesthetic she added remained at the specified area ever since. Spreading of fluid did not occur - now that was not something any alchemist could do.

Knowing that it was an anesthetic, Ye Chong let down his guard, since the smoke pearl in his possession was the counter to all hallucinogens and anesthetics. So he walked into the laboratory as usual, and as he had expected, he was unaffected by the reagent.

Guan Jin's cherry lips slightly opened in disbelief upon seeing Ye Chong walking in nonchalantly. She did not expect the little mischief she created would cause any visible trouble to Brother Zhu Feng since she only wanted to see his countermeasure for this, she was eager to verify the frightening rumor about him after all. But then ... he did nothing! Literally nothing!

Guan Jin's passion in her gaze intensified.

Ye Chong did not notice Guan Jin's passion stare however, as he had been distracted by these strange utensils on the table. Certainly the alchemy system was different between one galaxy to another. From the perspective of apparatuses, the 5 major galaxies had an upper hand since they had the avant-garde technologies after all. The precision of analyzing mechanism and processor were far more superior than those in the free space zone. When it came to historical background however, the position changed. No way the studies of alchemy in 5 major galaxies could compete with those of free space zone. Any alchemy aristocrat could easily have history of over a few centuries.

Regarding the learning difficulty, the system of free space zone outweighed the one in 5 major galaxies. The 5 major galaxies did analysis at best, with the aid of technologies but alchemists in free space zone could rely none other than their own senses.

Based on Lunatic Guan's records in her chip, she seemed to have thoroughly understood and absorbed the system of 5 major galaxies. The later part of her research was indistinguishable of its system. She probably had combined both systems at one point. Ye Chong could not help but to marvel at Lunatic Guan's insane luck. She was born in free space zone and was raised at May Night's Ridge, the heavenly place of alchemy, while being able to learn about the alchemy system in the 5 major galaxies. With all these he strongly believed no one else in this world could have surpassed her.

Ye Chong noticed that one flask on the table.

”Are you trying to improvise the Bilayered Liquid Tempering Technique?” asked Ye Chong as he pointed at the utensils near Guan Jin.

”Mhm...,” she blushed, as she bit her lips, ”I wanted to try... since father told me that this was aunt's masterpiece in the past. She always wanted to improvise it. So I would like to try... see if I could make a little improvement... just a little would've been great...” It was not sentiments that filled her voice, it was pure embarrassment. She should not have brought Brother Zhu Feng to the lab, now everyone in the ridge would know she wanted to ”improvise” her aunt's technique and she would become a laughing stock for she overestimated herself.

Ye Chong lowered his back and observed these used utensils carefully. He was pretty surprised of the progress. The little girl failed at this attempt, but she was heading to the right way. As expected, this girl was talented after all. Ye Chong could not imagine a girl could have such understanding on alchemy even before adolescence.

Does Guan family only give birth to geniuses?

Shouted Ye Chong in his mind.

”You are right at this.” He decided to offer some advice, ”But you did a few parts wrong. The tempering technique basically achieves extraction by splitting the liquid membranes, and your hypothesis should revolve about this core concept. The shape, the membrane, remember.”

Guan Jin's brows furrowed as she pondered. ”I got it!” Then she shouted while jumping, ”I know what you mean! I finally got it!” And she excitingly rushed to her table and began mixing the reagent again. She was very attentive on her research, her hands moved gracefully as she added more things to the mixture, as if Ye Chong was not there.

Ye Chong was impressed since he always had a soft spot for a diligent researcher. Well, he was one too and he believed only those who diligently researched would hit the top of their field.

Ye Chong did not say a thing as he started strolling in this laboratory.

The aristocrat was sure something. The lab contained a rich collection of reagents, which teased Ye Chong's curiosity deeply, that he finally jumped into action and started producing his own reagent too.

The apparatuses in the lab were fairly unique. He knew how to use them but he lacked the actual experience, thus the clumsy movement of his hands. He enjoyed the process of exploration nevertheless.
