Chapter 6 Alchemy

After saying goodbye to several wizards, Benjamin turned around and looked at the empty logistics area in front of him in a daze.

He could clearly feel that when he turned around, the seemingly indifferent tutors from the Logistics Department all cast their concerned glances at him.

It was obvious that the illusion barrier could only stop ordinary apprentices, and was useless against these mentors whose strength even Jie Ming could not sense at all.

Although I am very reluctant, since I have already boarded the pirate ship, I can only continue to make choices.

Having said that, Benjamin took a look at the many names in the unclear area, some familiar and some unfamiliar, and his scalp tingled.

"It has the aesthetic appeal of letting recent high school graduates choose their college majors."

After silently complaining, Benjamin walked around the logistics department area while thinking calmly in his heart:

"Although I'm reluctant, now that I've joined the academy, leaving in the short term is probably impossible. I can only strengthen myself while hiding myself as much as possible to prepare for future battlefields."

If possible, Benjamin really wanted to give up his cultivation and switch to the extraordinary system of the wizarding world to hide his biggest problem.

Unfortunately, it cannot be done.

Although the practice of refining essence into qi is close to being eliminated, it is not without its own advantages.

The most important one is that by practicing this method, the connection between the practitioner's essence, energy and spirit will become closer and closer.

Simply put, as long as one of the essence, energy and spirit is enhanced, the other two will be improved simultaneously.

Likewise, if one element is severely damaged, healing can be accelerated by sacrificing the other two.

This is indeed an advantage, but if it is placed on the option of "waste of work", it is a flaw that cannot be ignored.

An overly close combination of spirit, energy and mind will cause Jieming to lose his energy and suffer almost irreparable damage to his body and soul.

By then, let alone becoming a wizard, it’s hard to say whether you can survive.

"Since I can't destroy it, I can only pretend it's my native power. After I become a formal wizard, maybe I can find other ways... Besides this option, I also have to consider my future development..."

Jemin began to examine himself: What are his more obvious characteristics compared to other wizards?

The experience of living your life again?

A supernatural system from another world?

still……

Benjamin subconsciously shifted his attention to the white jade palace deep in his consciousness.

The biggest difference between him and others, of course, is this extraordinary knowledge that comes from another world!

"It would be a waste to not use such a huge advantage. But we can't use it directly. We need to add a layer of disguise. Moreover, the wizarding world has no spiritual power, so the knowledge must be adjusted for this world..."

After some reflection, Benjamin gradually understood his needs.

Overall, there is no need to worry about improving combat effectiveness in the short term. The subject he chooses should preferably reveal the essence of this world, or at least enable him to understand the uniqueness of various substances, energies, and rules in this world and utilize them.

"The result is obvious then."

Having made up his mind, Jieming turned decisively and walked towards a certain area.

As soon as he got close, he could smell a strange smell, a mixture of smelting metal, burning plants and various unknown reagents.

"Alchemy, which fools see as a technique for transforming metals, is actually a reflection of the truth of the universe. This ancient wisdom is not only a skill for transforming matter, but also a way to elevate the soul..."

Benjamin silently recited the introduction on the screen in front of him and confirmed his thoughts.

This was his choice: alchemy.

A technique for exploring the changes of matter and soul, and then studying the truth of the world.

If he could master it skillfully, it would not only help Benjamin to "localize" the skills in the Dadao Book Pavilion, but also help him disguise his own strength.

He walked straight to a consultation desk at the back, where sat a wizard who looked very much like an "alchemist" - he was thin, with hair so sparse that one could clearly see his scalp, and wore a pair of monocles that were considered peculiar in the mortal world, with sharp and tired eyes behind the lenses.

The finger joints are thick, but the fingers appear quite flexible, obviously having been dealing with various materials for many years.

"Hello...Mr. Clark." Jermyn glanced at the nameplate on his chest and paused slightly. "I want to join alchemy."

Clark raised his head calmly and looked at Benjamin who was walking towards him with his eyes that seemed to be able to see through the surface.

"Talent...level six?" Instructor Clark pushed his monocle, his tone without surprise, just simple confirmation.

Obviously, this mentor Clark had already known Benjamin's test results in some way.

"Yes, mentor." Benjamin replied respectfully.

"A wise choice." Instructor Clark nodded slightly, his tone still calm, but with a subtle hint of approval. "A dead genius is nothing. A surviving genius, even if his talent is mediocre, will one day see his own scenery."

"Yes, I will follow your instructions."

Clark seemed very satisfied with his apprentice, Jermyn. He said no more and pulled out a scroll from under the table.

The surface of this scroll was flowing with a faint glow, emitting strong energy fluctuations.

"Apprenticeship contract from the Norn Workshop." Instructor Clark unfolded the scroll and showed it to Jemin. "Read it carefully and sign it if you have no questions. Remember, once the contract takes effect, any violation of the terms will result in severe consequences."

Benjamin took a deep breath and took the heavy scroll.

The scroll is not very big, and the content that can be displayed on it is quite limited.

The text above is also made up of light curtains, but it seems to be disconnected halfway and there is no further content.

Jemin looked up at Mr. Clark, who didn't seem to want to explain.

Looking at the small scroll in his hand, Benjamin had an idea. He first stretched out his hands and pretended to check the left and right sides of the scroll, and then he "tried" to stretch out his fingers and swipe upwards towards the light curtain!

Just as he imagined, the words on the scroll slid along with the movement of his fingers - this was clearly a scroll-like display.

Seeing that Benjamin had "found" the correct usage of the scroll in such a short time, Clark couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile on his originally serious face.

Because of the quietness of the Logistics Department and Jieming's previous performance, other instructors in the Logistics Department were also secretly paying attention to this place.

After seeing the ability displayed by Jermyn and the smug smile of old Clark, the other mentors' eyes became "resentful".

Especially when Clark deliberately looked up and smiled at them ostentatiously, the resentful look turned into envy and jealousy.
