"Ahem, back to the main topic, this is what I'm going to talk about today: the possibilities of alchemy!"
After the teaching assistant cleaned up the scene, Shen Qian took the microphone and said seriously, "Alchemy is a young discipline. Don't let books confine your thinking."
"You are all in the golden age of your lives, the time to explore and innovate. For example, I often think, why is there only a 'Fullness Pill' but no 'Drinking Pill'? Or, to extend that further, what about a 'Swiftness Pill'? Or a 'Deodorizing Pill'?"
“These are things that existing books won’t teach you, but they are directions you can certainly try.”
In short, anything is possible!
Before leaving, he tapped the blackboard again and gave a concluding remark.
After a brief silence, thunderous applause filled the classroom.
Seeing the admiring expressions on most of the students' faces, Shen Qian breathed a slight sigh of relief.
In fact, Wei Sijian was right about one thing: applying knowledge and imparting knowledge are two different things.
He seemed incredibly impressive today, having accomplished a void alchemy feat, but there's a major problem behind it all.
That's the skill... it can't be taught.
The system's ability to employ such methods is based on flawless precision and Shen Qian's ever-growing mental strength, making it completely unsuitable for ordinary people to imitate.
Shen Qian's ultimate purpose in using this move was simply to enhance the classroom experience and to prove that he, Shen, was truly skilled in alchemy.
The reactions of teachers and students are the biggest factor in determining whether he stays in his position.
It seems to be working quite well.
This hurdle has been overcome.
As Shen Qian was receiving applause from the crowd, he inadvertently looked up and met Cheng Shanhe's ambiguous smile.
Shen Qian couldn't help but feel a little guilty, knowing that this trick couldn't fool a true master alchemist like Cheng Shanhe.
Just as Shen Qian was about to announce the end of get out of class, Cheng Shanhe suddenly stood up.
"Teacher Shen, the demonstration of alchemy techniques just now was absolutely brilliant and eye-opening. But we still have some time, so how about we talk about something else?"
Cheng Shanhe smiled.
Shen Qian wasn't sure what the other person meant, but he could only nod reluctantly, "Dean Cheng is right, but my preparations were rather rushed, I'm afraid..."
"It's alright." Cheng Shanhe smiled faintly. "Generally speaking, we set aside some time for Q&A in our open classes. Teacher Shen can follow suit."
Upon hearing that it was a Q&A session, Chen Qian thought for a moment and nodded, "Then let's do as Dean Cheng said. Everyone can ask me any questions they have."
"Let me start with a question, just to get the ball rolling."
Cheng Shanhe smiled.
Shen Qian knew this was Cheng Shanhe's final test, but as for the questions, with the system acting as an encyclopedia to some extent, he wasn't afraid.
"Please go ahead, Dean Cheng."
"It's not really a question, but more of a discussion, as it's something that's been bothering me lately."
After Cheng Shanhe finished speaking, he walked straight to the podium and began writing on the whiteboard.
When Cheng Shanhe stopped writing, half of the whiteboard was already filled with dense symbols and formulas, making one dizzy.
Even Chen Qian couldn't help but glance at him.
What Cheng Shanhe wrote should be a written formula for a medicine, which would be difficult for non-professionals to understand. Moreover, judging from the complexity of its components, it should be a very high-level medicine, far superior to an entry-level medicine like the Body Tempering Elixir.
“I’m currently researching a new prescription called ‘Creation,’ which is a ‘Mountain and Sea’ level prescription.”
Cheng Shanhe offered an explanation.
Upon hearing the words "mountains and seas," another commotion arose in the classroom.
The classification of potions is synchronized with the martial artist's level. For example, basic potions are suitable for beginner martial artists and below, intermediate potions are suitable for intermediate martial artists, and so on.
As the name suggests, the Mountain and Sea Medicine is made exclusively for use in the mountains and seas!
This is knowledge that is almost beyond the scope of the curriculum. In this huge classroom, apart from some elite senior students and people like Wei Sijian, ordinary people simply cannot understand this prescription.
Even Wei Sijian and others couldn't fully understand it; they only had varying degrees of comprehension.
Even Shen Qian couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Cheng Shanhe really thinks highly of me, wanting to discuss the medicinal formulas of mountains and seas right off the bat.
However, on second thought, this also shows that Cheng Shanhe truly did not regard him as a student.
That's a good thing, I guess.
Chen Qian composed himself and reviewed the prescription formula on the blackboard once more.
At the same time, an AFK request was sent to the system from the AFK window.
Shen Qian's current alchemy skills are only at the beginner level, so he is naturally not qualified to answer this kind of question.
Since it doesn't involve physical control, the system quickly provided a text-based response, indicating the selection for energy-saving mode.
Shen Qian glanced through the system's explanation, but fell into a kind of silence.
"Brother Chen?"
It wasn't until Wei Sijian called out that Chen Qian came back to his senses.
He glanced at Cheng Shanhe, who had been waiting quietly, and at the bewildered gazes of the other students in the classroom. Feeling conflicted, he pondered for a moment before making his decision.
"Dean Cheng, if I'm not mistaken, this prescription seems to be related to mental power?"
Shen Qian spoke first, "Among the three main medicines, there is also an extremely rare Rejuvenating Grass. The medicinal properties of the Rejuvenating Grass have not yet been accurately studied, but it is certain that it has the effect of stimulating the potential of life and death."
"Overall, this prescription is for stimulating mental potential, am I right?"
"That's right."
Cheng Shanhe's eyes showed approval as he spoke of the original intention behind developing the prescription: "As we all know, after cultivating spiritual power, one can form a spiritual core."
