"Jiang Chen, how did you know that adding two pieces of Sunfire Grass would stabilize the pill furnace?"
Su Lingxiang's voice was filled with astonishment. It took her a moment to recover from the shock.
Jiang Chen smiled calmly.
"Just intuition."
He continued, "When the fire temperature dropped, the potency of the medicinal ingredients needed to be balanced. This is knowledge passed down by alchemical masters. The breeze weakened the furnace's heat, so I compensated by enhancing the medicinal power."
In reality, the hundredfold success rate system had already provided him with the perfect solution.
No matter what challenges arose, the system subconsciously presented him with the best course of action.
Of course, Jiang Chen couldn't exactly explain that to Su Lingxiang.
How could I tell her about the system? he thought.
---
"His intuition is terrifying…"
Su Lingxiang was speechless.
Any alchemist could face unexpected issues during the refining process, especially with controlling the furnace's heat.
Knowing that adding additional medicinal power could correct the imbalance was basic knowledge.
However, selecting the right ingredient and the exact quantity required immense skill.
Even as a Third-Grade Alchemist, Su Lingxiang found it challenging.
But Jiang Chen had managed it effortlessly.
If his 'intuition' is this accurate, he's not just talented—he's a genius among geniuses, a true monster!
---
"Jiang Chen, you're a rare alchemical prodigy."
Su Lingxiang's eyes shone with admiration.
"Would you consider focusing on alchemy? I can introduce you to my teacher, Yan Qingxuan. He might take you as his personal disciple."
Yan Qingxuan was a renowned Sixth-Grade Alchemist at Lingyun Martial Academy—one of the most respected figures in the entire Great Xia Kingdom.
Being accepted as his disciple was an honor beyond measure.
---
What?! Did I hear that right?
The entire class gasped in shock.
"Yan Qingxuan? The Sixth-Grade Alchemist?"
"Becoming his disciple would be like reaching the pinnacle of alchemy!"
"This is insane. If Jiang Chen accepts, his future will be limitless."
Everyone's eyes were wide with disbelief.
Such an opportunity was a dream for most alchemists—a luxury few could even hope for.
---
"Thank you for the offer, Instructor Su, but I want to focus on martial arts. Alchemy is just a side interest."
Jiang Chen's voice was calm and composed as he politely declined.
With the system's help, I'll become an all-around genius. I don't need to limit myself to alchemy.
---
Did… did he just refuse?
The class fell silent, every student staring at Jiang Chen as if he were insane.
He rejected Yan Qingxuan's mentorship?
This guy is either the most confident or the most foolish person alive.
---
"You… You refused?"
Su Lingxiang finally found her voice, still in disbelief.
Countless alchemists would give anything to be Yan Qingxuan's disciple.
Yet, Jiang Chen had turned down the offer without a second thought.
"Jiang Chen, with your talent, you could reach unimaginable heights in alchemy. You shouldn't waste this potential!"
Su Lingxiang's tone was almost pleading.
"If you don't pursue alchemy, you're not just letting yourself down—you're letting down your parents and the entire world!"
