Student No. 3 Xuanyuan Qi weighed the bow and arrow, and then weighed it again, probably to the point where he had a good relationship with the bow and arrow. Then he pulled the bow hard, took aim, and released the arrow.
Then, the arrow missed every target accurately and fell alone on the grass not far away.
Everyone: ...
Mr. Liu had known for a long time that Xuanyuan Qi was not good at archery, but he was always so poor and had not made any progress, which really made him, as a teacher, lose face.
Mr. Liu held his forehead and was too lazy to talk to Xuanyuan Qi. He took out a light bow and handed it to Ling Xiang. At the same time, he stopped aiming and carefully explained to Ling Xiang how to use the bow and arrow.
"If you can pull it, pull it. If you can't, don't force it." Mr. Liu didn't think that a delicate girl in the boudoir could pull the bowstring. Gao Zhenzhen was an example.
Ling Xiang also weighed the bow and arrow in his hand and frowned slightly: "Mr. Liu, can I change the bow?"
"This is already the lightest." Mr. Liu thought Ling Xiang felt the bow was too heavy, so he kindly reminded her.
"Student understands." Ling Xiang put the bow and arrow back to its original place, picked up another bow and weighed it, then changed several bows and weighed them, and finally chose a bow, pulled the bowstring to try it out, then walked back, bent the bow and put the arrow on.
The arrow flew out, drew a perfect arc in the air, and landed directly on the grass.
Nothing was shot...
"It's a rare achievement for you to be able to pull such a heavy bow for the first time in archery. Many women can't even pull a bow," Mr. Liu comforted.
Ling Xiang was not discouraged.
She actually knew how to shoot arrows, and was quite good at it. However, modern bows and arrows had mechanisms, so the force required to shoot arrows didn't need to be as strong. So, this was her first time using this most primitive type of arrow, and she hadn't gotten used to it yet.
She shot again, but still hit nothing.
"Practice more and you'll get better," Mr. Liu encouraged.
Ling Xiang nodded seriously, but in his heart he had already started thinking about finding someone to make a mechanical bow and arrow.
She sank her consciousness into space and used instruments to draw a blueprint of a mechanical bow and arrow.
After archery practice comes the alchemy class.
Nangong Yu did not learn alchemy, he was a master specially chosen by Gao Zhenzhen.
Gao Zhenzhen was outdone by Ling Xiang in archery practice. Now that it was her own specialty, she naturally wanted to use Ling Xiang as a foil:
"Miss Ling, Master Yuan is a renowned alchemy master in the Great Jing Empire. The prince specially invited him to be my master. You should give it a try. Perhaps Master Yuan would be willing to accept you as his disciple."
Ling Xiang was just researching alchemy, so having someone to guide her would naturally be faster than figuring it out on her own. "Okay, thank you, Miss Gao."
Although Nangong Yu didn't make alchemy, he would always accompany Gao Zhenzhen to study. After Xuanyuan Qi came to the Qin Palace, he also didn't make alchemy, so he never came to Master Yuan's class.
But today, he followed her into the alchemy room.
Ling Xiang thought that the master of alchemy should be an old man with a white beard and an immortal look.
However, a very handsome man walked into the alchemy room.
Although the alchemy master Yuan Haocang is a man, he cares extremely about his appearance. In order to research the elixir of youth, he works very hard and manages to become a great alchemy master.
"Master, this is Ling Xiang, introduced by the eldest princess. Can you test her to see if she can practice cultivation and see if you can accept her as well?" Gao Zhenzhen introduced enthusiastically.
"Oh?" Yuan Haocang looked in the direction Gao Zhenzhen pointed, and when he saw Ling Xiang's face, he immediately frowned: "Wu Yan?"
"Master Yuan is really amazing. He can tell at a glance that I've been poisoned by Wuyan." Ling Xiang admired him very much.
Yuan Haocang stared at her face carefully, looking very interested. "I won't accept you as my apprentice, but if you are willing to be my experimental subject, I can use your face for experiments to see if I can develop an elixir to restore your face."
It is quite disrespectful to ask someone to be a guinea pig when meeting him for the first time and to say it so bluntly.
If Ling Xiang wanted, she could remove the scars on her face at any time.
The reason she left the scar was to discourage those who wanted to marry her.
Just because Yuan Haocang was so disrespectful, she had no good feelings towards him: "Thank you for your kindness, Grandmaster Yuan. Ling Xiang doesn't care about this face, so I won't bother you."
"Since you don't want to, then go out. Don't show up in my alchemy room again." Grandmaster Yuan's face darkened instantly. If it weren't for the eldest princess's face, he would definitely teach this ignorant woman a lesson!
In his opinion, Ling Xiang was a woman without any status or background and with a ruined face, and she was destined to achieve nothing in her life.
He was so kind as to help Ling Xiang restore her appearance, so she should be grateful to him profusely.
And yet, she actually dared to reject him? Did she really think she was such a big shot? Shame on her!
"Sorry to bother you, Master Yuan. Goodbye." Ling Xiang turned and left.
Xuanyuan Qi watched Ling Xiang leave, glanced at Yuan Haocang, and sat in the alchemy room without leaving.
"Your Highness Prince Huai wants to learn alchemy?" In stark contrast to his attitude towards Ling Xiang just now, Yuan Haocang was very polite to Xuanyuan Qi.
"I'm tired from practicing archery just now, so I'll rest here for a while." Xuanyuan Qi closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Yuan Haocang smiled at Xuanyuan Qi, took out the alchemy cauldron, and began to teach Gao Zhenzhen how to make the elixir.
Gao Zhenzhen suffers from a heart disease. Although she manages to become a cultivator with the help of Nangong Yu, her control over her spiritual power is not satisfactory, and she struggles to make pills.
To be honest, Gao Zhenzhen has no talent at all and is totally unqualified to be his apprentice as a master alchemist.
But she was lucky, she was the sweetheart of the King of Qin and the future Princess of Qin, so Yuan Haocang was willing to teach her patiently so that she could climb up to the high branch of the King of Qin.
Yuan Haocang skillfully refined the most basic spiritual elixir, and did not forget to explain the tricks to Gao Zhenzhen.
Gao Zhenzhen listened attentively, gesturing and imitating from time to time, looking very serious.
"The more precisely you control the medicinal power and spiritual power when refining the pill, the higher quality the pill will be. Your master can now refine five high-quality spiritual-replenishing pills at a time." Not long after, Yuan Haocang finished refining and opened the alchemy cauldron with confidence.
However, the alchemy cauldron was empty, without a single soul-replenishing pill, only a pile of herbal ash.
Yuan Haocang couldn't believe it, closed his eyes, and then opened them again.
Still empty...
Gao Zhenzhen was shocked.
In the past, she listened to Yuan Haocang teach her how to process herbs, control spiritual power, fire power, and medicinal power in a very logical way, and his words were very exaggerated.
As a result, a great master couldn't even refine a spiritual pill?
Could he be a fake?
"This time it was an accident." Yuan Haocang did not give up and refined another batch of pills.
Still empty!
"Are you really Grandmaster Yuan Hao Cangyuan?" Xuanyuan Qi, who had rested enough, yawned and questioned.
Yuan Haocang didn't know what the problem was. He coughed and evaded the question, "Maybe I haven't been feeling well lately, so I made a mistake. But what I taught you is definitely not wrong. Just follow my instructions and refine it."
"A good teacher produces good students. Cousin, you must keep your eyes open and don't let the liar delay Miss Gao." Xuanyuan Qi left the alchemy room with a blank expression and without looking back.
