"Why don't you recruit me as a tutor? I can join the immortal cultivation class. I don't want wages, just food."
The reversal happened so quickly that Zhou Fugui had prepared some lines, but they were useless now.
"I don't know who said it was a small, shabby academy just now." Zhou Fugui deliberately made things difficult.
"Then I'll just be a small-time tutor? Dean Fugui?" Zhou Dahe quickly changed his words.
"Okay, this dean will make an exception and admit you as our little tutor at Shengdan College. Hahahaha..."
The two people who usually competed with each other walked towards Shengdan Academy arm in arm like old friends.
Inside Shengdan College.
Sang Jin was explaining the uses and proportions of the first-grade Huiyuan Pill to a dozen children. Training a pharmacist was no easy task.
Sang Jin only intended to have them learn some pharmacology and mix some low-level elixirs to see if there were any of them with talent for alchemy.
Su Tian also listened attentively. During the years she was imprisoned by the Yan family and worked as a medicine man, she also learned a lot about the efficacy and composition of elixirs.
The Hui Yuan Dan Xiao Jin described was too simple for her, but she had never refined it herself.
Originally, she was waiting for her brother to finish his class. Su Ming, bored, had become a nominal tutor at Shengdan Academy, teaching the children once every three days. He primarily taught them escape and tracking skills.
But she had no interest in her brother's lectures, so she ran to the courtyard where Xiao Jin was. Seeing Xiao Jin talking in front, she became interested and wanted to try her hand at alchemy.
"I...make pills." She told Xiao Jin whatever she thought of.
"Sister Tiantian, why don't you try making the medicine first?" Sang Jin would naturally not let go of anyone who was interested in alchemy.
Su Tian quickly found the herbs for the Hui Yuan Dan that Sang Jin had just mentioned. She didn't even need to weigh them; her proportions were incredibly precise.
With this discovery, Sang Jin's eyes lit up as if she had seen a treasure. This is a potential alchemy seedling.
She had been teaching here for twenty days, and the children in the village who were interested in medicinal herbs were only suitable for becoming doctors. She had not discovered any seedlings like Su Tian who were suitable for alchemy.
"Okay, that's all for today's class. Go down and memorize the proportions of the herbs needed for Huiyuan Dan. Also, what are its medicinal effects." Sang Jin assigned the children's homework in an orderly manner.
"Goodbye, Teacher Sang."
"See you tomorrow, Teacher Sang."
“…” The children in the village said goodbye to Sang Jin one by one.
Finally, only Sang Jin and Su Tian were left in the courtyard. This was the west wing, with many rooms. Sang Jin had people make her many wooden racks for placing winnowing baskets and drying herbs.
After Sang Jin used the sound transmission jade to inform the Hua family of her current location, Duohua brought her the remaining four million spirit stones from the last animal hide sale. She also received 40% of the proceeds from the pills she had sold. This eldest daughter of the Hua family was quite capable.
So far, the medicinal herbs in Shengdan Village were all brought by the Tuohua family when they delivered the alchemy herbs. Of course, the money for buying the herbs was deducted from Sang Jin's income.
"I... want to learn." Su Tian took a long time to utter these three words.
"Sister Tiantian, do you want to learn alchemy? I can teach you, but I need to see what kind of spiritual roots you have first. Can you make alchemy?" Sang Jin made a gesture in front of his chest and put his hand on Su Tian's hand.
Su Tiantian nodded and cooperated without moving.
In addition to being interested in alchemy, learning alchemy also requires possessing a fire spirit root. This allows one to activate the cultivator's ordinary fire to ignite the alchemy furnace for alchemy. Alternatively, one can use fire talismans, which rely on external forces to activate ordinary fire for alchemy.
There is also the strange fire that the cultivators themselves control. The most basic is ordinary fire, followed by mysterious fire, earth fire, heavenly fire, divine fire, and supreme fire.
Sang Jin's Glazed Heart Fire was a divine fire. It was extremely rare. The higher the level of the fire, the more difficult it was to master. It was thanks to the divine fire that she always had an easier time than others in alchemy.
"Sister Tiantian, congratulations on your eighth-grade fire spiritual root. You have great talent." Sang Jin smiled and congratulated Su Tian. She had found a treasure.
"Can I... learn... learn to make elixirs?" This was the first time Sang Jin heard Su Tian say so many words in one sentence.
"Sure. Hehe...from now on, the reputation of Shengdan Village will depend on you." Sang Jin smiled evilly.
"Yeah." Su Tiantian nodded. She wanted to be the face of Shengdan Village, and she also wanted to be useful. She couldn't always be a burden to her brother. Her brother should have a brighter future.
"Then come to my house tomorrow and I'll teach you individually." Sang Jin was eager to train someone to help her refine pills, and Su Tian was the best candidate.
"Oh no, oh no. A monster has broken in!" The villagers' panicked shouts were heard outside.
"Help!"
"Teacher Sang, help!"
Hearing the noisy sound outside, Sang Jin told Su Tian not to come out. She went out to take a look.
If a monster really broke in, then the children who had just finished school and were about to go home...it would be bad!
Su Ming, Zhou Dahe, and Mu Yanhuan, who were still teaching, secretly said, "Not good!" and gathered the children together, telling them not to leave the courtyard. Zhou Fugui was responsible for protecting the children in the academy.
When Su Ming, Zhou Dahe, Mu Yanhuan and Mu Yan ran out of the academy, they happened to meet Sang Jin who came out.
"Little Sang Jin, have you seen my sister? She said she was going to look for you. You are only in the Qi Refining Stage, so it's safer to go back to the dean and hide there." Su Ming asked anxiously.
"Your sister is in the yard, safe. I'm not going back." Sang Jin didn't smile. Her face was serious. Their family had finally settled down and had enjoyed a few months of peace. They couldn't let a few monsters disrupt it.
"No, your safety is very important. You are the backbone of the entire village." If anything happens to you around me, that brat Li Jinyu will skin me alive.
Just as Su Ming was thinking this, he saw a large golden tail sweeping towards him. Suddenly, several houses collapsed.
Mu Yanhuan said nothing. He just did whatever his master told him to do.
Zhou Dahe had the same idea as Su Ming. After Su Ming spoke, he did not repeat himself.
"Mu Yan, go out and protect the villagers. Check if this is the only monster." Sang Jin ordered calmly.
"Yes." Mu Yan flew out with the sword, disappearing from the sight of Sang Jin and the others.
