In My Head There is an Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 12: Popular Alchemists
Chu Yunfan walked to the side as well. Gao Hongzhi immediately brought a healing spray and sprayed it directly onto his arm. The burning pain was immediately replaced with a cold sensation and the wound recovered at lightning speed.
“You really are something. That was Amazing. Ha ha! I've never seen him give up like that before!” Gao Hongzhi said as he winked while patting Chu Yunfan on the shoulder.
At that moment, their other classmates seemed to have regained consciousness. They seem in a state of disbelief.
Even Vice-monitoring Tang Siyu's eyes widened as he looked at Chu Yunfan in surprise.
“Everything, you guys just saw a real battle. The power of the Devilish Tiger Punch is excellent, especially for all of you. So please be careful!” said Qin Wu. He didn't have much of a reaction to the duo's injury. He was a retired soldier and had seen much worse, so he had long since been insensitive.
“You can ask me if you have any questions about cultivation. Now, I will explain the important points of cultivation!”
Qin Wu began to explain the common problems that arise when cultivating the Demon Tiger Punch and the way to solve it.
It was the most valuable experience. If this had happened in the previous era, it would have remained a secret, but in modern times, many people would have publicized their knowledge. Some martial arts cultivation information will be uploaded online, available for download at an additional cost. They could make money from it while also spreading martial arts knowledge.
It only took a few centuries for humans to reach their current achievements after discovering the Ancient Zenith civilization. A new out-of-the-box perspective plays an important role.
Chu Yunfan sat down by crossing his legs while circulating his energy using the Mighty Immortal Emperor Method. While recalling the previous battle, he gathered True Energy into both of his arms to speed up the healing process.
Although it was only a battle, it was extremely beneficial to him because Feng Deying's understanding of the Demon Tiger Punch was similar to his.
He could feel Feng Deying's sharp gaze on him on the other side of the classroom. She's staring.
He knew he had offended Feng Deying this time, but he did not care about it. The battle had significantly boosted his confidence. What difference would it make if he offended the class genius? As long as he was given enough time, he could stomp everyone under his feet.
The lesson passed quickly. By the time the students were disbanded, the wounds on Chu Yunfan's body were almost healed. The medical standards developed by modern technology are beyond imagination compared to the Common Era.
“Alright, that's it for today's lesson. Class dismissed! It will be a long holiday tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. You guys can practice Demon Tiger Punch at home!” Qin Wu said, “Oh, yes. Chu Yunfan, please come to my office!”
Chu Yunfan felt somewhat strange, because Qin Wu had never spoken to him alone before. He was too ordinary back then, so Qin Wu had no interest in talking to him.
Chu Yunfan followed Qin Wu to his office.
“Master, why did you ask me to come here?” Chu Yunfan asked straightforwardly.
Qin Wu glanced at Chu Yunfan and said, “Everyone, including me, underestimated you earlier. You have average skills. However, even though your talent seems to be average, you learn martial skills very quickly. I'm guessing this talent of yours is nowhere to be discovered since you've never been in contact with a martial skill before!
“Everyone talks about talent. Actually, there are many types of talent. Martial Dao has many natural reward categories. Some are born with an extraordinary ability to understand. Some had the ability to deduce the cultivation of martial skills, while some had extraordinary physiques. They were born with extraordinary strength, where they were stronger than those who cultivated even when they did not do it themselves. And you must have a talent for cultivating martial skills!
Qin Wu went to the back of his desk and sat in his office chair while continuing, “Forget that you were average in the past. You don't have to bother because you have a knack for this. How do we humans evolve to the point that we have immigrants occupying large areas of the Kunlun Realm? That's because we changed the method of recruiting narrow-minded talent in the past. We recruit every kind of talent now!”
Qin Wu looked at Chu Yunfan and asked, “You are average in terms of Internal Energy cultivation. Given that you were born an ordinary human being and your family cannot provide you with sufficient cultivation resources, your talents might be in vain. Have you considered joining the military? ”
“Join with military?” Chu Yunfan was stunned for a moment. He never expected Qin Wu to make such a suggestion.
“One stop. Although humans occupy a very large area in the Kunlun Realm, in reality, we are always in danger. Even on Earth, we only have a few base cities, while the entire world has become the territory of monsters. It did not even include monsters in the Kunlun Realm that were even more terrifying than those on Earth. The military is the main line of defense for humanity. Naturally, the military must recruit the best humans from various fields!” Qin Wu said slowly, “Personally, I feel, against your family background, you definitely cannot be like Feng Deying and Gao Hongzhi. Your family can't give you a huge amount of resources, but the military can. As long as you are talented, the military can provide you with any need. Your prospects will not be worse than a graduate from a normal university. In fact, they will be better. Moreover, you have a talent for cultivating martial skills. True fighting will only develop you further. Where else besides the battlefield can you feel the real battle again?
“Although I have retired, I still have some connections in the military. If you're willing, even if you don't get into the Martial Arts stream, I can recommend that they accept you! And if you're performing amazingly in the military, they might ask for a place for you at Federation University!”
Hearing that, Chu Yunfan fell silent. He knew Qin Wu said all this out of kindness. In modern society, in addition to graduates from the top ten schools, soldiers from the military are the most sought-after prospects.
On the other hand, the death rate is also high. Nevertheless, those who survived would stand out in society. If they managed to become retired sergeants, they could become like Qin Wu and the coach at the school. Although it is not considered outstanding, it is much better than office workers in ordinary companies.
Therefore, those who do not want to live an ordinary life are eager to enter the military. However, not just anyone can sign up. Recruitment standards are not as strict as the standards for the top ten schools, but are still beyond the capabilities of ordinary humans.
If this had happened in the past, he would have immediately said yes to such an opportunity. He was ready to sacrifice himself, no matter how difficult it was, just to stand out.
Almost instantly, Chu Yunfan replied with determination, “Master, I want to enter university!”
Looking at Chu Yunfan, Qin Wu could not help but sigh as he said, “Sure, I will not force you to do something that you do not want. However, if you change your mind, you can always come to me. The military needs talent like you!”
“Thank you Sir!” Chu Yunfan sincerely thanked him. He knew that Qin Wu was doing this for his own good.
“Why are you thanking me? I am your teacher. It's only natural that I want the best for you. You are at Level-6 Physical Stage now. Since you want to go to university, I'm sure you're not interested in studying the liberal arts. You have less than a month, so you should make the most of the time you have left! ” Qin Wu said, “I guess you don't have the money to buy a better supplement. From now on, if you want to break through, you can only rely on the consumption of Body Refining Pills. I'm sure you've heard of the Body Refining Pill! ”
“I know it is a medicinal pill used by martial artists in the Ancient Zenith civilization to purify their bodies!” Chu Yun Fan nodded. He knew it very well because he had the memories of the Alchemy Emperor's legacy in his head, and those memories had records of the Body Refining Pill.
It was one of the pills that the Alchemy Emperor had learned to refine when he had just started working with medicinal pills.
The function of the Body Refining Pill, as the name suggests, was to refine and strengthen one's body while improving his physical qualities.
Although it was not a high-grade medicinal pill, one was required to eat it in large quantities. In modern times, one such pill cost over 100,000 coins, which was equivalent to the annual salary of old man Chu Yunfan including their extra income.
His family could not afford to spend money on this, so he had only heard of it but had never seen it.
During the time of the Alchemy Emperor, Body Refining Pills were expensive, but not as expensive as before. That equates to about 10,000 coins in the current currency.
In modern times, apart from the ingredients that had to be transported all the way from the Kunlun Realm, one of the main reasons for this was the small number of alchemists that could manufacture Body Repair Pills.
In the time of the Alchemy Emperor, there were already very few alchemists. Not everyone had a talent for alchemy, but at least they had the entire wisdom inherited from their alchemists. However, the knowledge of the alchemists that had been dug up was incomplete. Some common medicinal formulas have since been lost.
Certain heavenly pills became legendary. Without complete knowledge, the number of alchemists in modern times was less than one-tenth of that in the memories of Alchemy Emperors.
This has led to a further spike in the price of these pills. Although the Federation government had tried its best to mass-produce such basic medicinal pills, they were still unable to do so at the moment.
“I know that your family will not be able to afford the cultivation cost. You have quickly developed the Demon Tiger Punch, so I would like to recommend you for a job. I think it's perfect for you. Are you interested?” Qin Wu asked.
“What job do you mean, Mr?” Chu Yun Fan asked.
“Yeah, that's my partner. She has a daughter who is also in Class 3 now. He was practicing the Demon Tiger Punch. He needs a sparring partner. You will be paid by the hour, 500 coins per hour. How's it? Are you interested?” Qin Wu said with a smile.
Chu Yunfan was above the moon. A job paid 500 coins an hour is higher than his parents' salary. He immediately replied, “Of course I am interested. Thank you Sir! May I know when I can start working?!”
“Hahaha, look at you, very excited. I'll call my partner now. You can start immediately if everything goes well!”
Saying this, Qin Wu immediately picked up his phone and called. Immediately, a man projected in front of him. The man had a burly body and looked like he was middle-aged. He was wearing a suit, but even through projection, he exuded the aura of a formidable warrior.
“Qin Old?” The middle-aged man smiled slightly. “You usually never lend a hand except to ask for help. What is it?”
“Hey, Old Liu, didn't you tell me that your precious daughter, Yushu, doesn't have a match partner to practice the Demon Tiger Punch? I happen to have a student who is somewhat talented in cultivating martial skills. He could be Yushu's sparring partner. What say?” Qin Wu said with a grin.
“I'm fine with that. Bring him here, but whether he is hired or not depends on Yushu. Anyway, I'm sure of anyone you recommend! ” the middle-aged man replied.
“Sure, I hung up. Live your day well!”
Qin Wu hung up the phone and turned to Chu Yunfan, saying, “You can go to his house after class today. I'll send you the address!”
“Thank you Sir!” Chu Yunfan said sincerely.
“Don't worry about that. Do your best and you will be fine!”
