Chapter 262 Taming Beasts and Refining Medicine

The alchemy room of Zidan University is located on an island with extremely active fire veins.

This island is a medicine refining area based on the magma river deep underground, and is built by combining source power and high technology. Various rare fire attribute spiritual plants are also planted on the island.

As an area with a very powerful fire source in Zidan University, there are usually some fire attribute pets who like to practice in the magma river near the island.

At this time, a light blue streamer flashed in the huge alchemy furnace, and then an extremely slight muffled sound came out.

"Failed again."

Chen Wei showed some helplessness on his face, and then opened the alchemy furnace and collected all the waste residue of the Star Source Pill inside.

"Do you know what mistake was made this time?" Tan Xueqing frowned slightly.

"The temperature was not properly controlled, the heating fusion reaction between the purple star fruit and the silver star fruit was slow by 0.08 seconds, and the refining time of the thousand star bamboo was too long, and it was not mixed in time."

Chen Wei said all the mistakes in the alchemy process this time.

"Yes, in fact, your understanding of Xingyuan Pill is sufficient, but your mastery of Chixia Flame Array is not enough." Tan Xueqing pointed out.

Chen Wei nodded thoughtfully.

The higher the grade of the pill, the more complicated it is to refine. Even with the help of the Delusion-Breaking Spirit Eye, because his Chixia Flame Array currently only outlines 23 flame arrays, the micro-control of fire control ability cannot keep up with the changes in the reaction of the spirit medicine essence in the pill furnace, which will lead to the failure of pill refining.

"Haste makes waste. Maybe I should focus on refining Jiyuan Pill first, and maybe I can improve the cultivation of Chixia Flame Array faster." Chen Wei thought to himself.

"Today's class ends here. Do you want to have a meal together in the cafeteria?" Tan Xueqing glanced at her watch and said casually.

"Okay." Chen Wei agreed happily.

After leaving the alchemy room, he and Sister Tan walked to the nearest South District Cafeteria.

"Hello, Professor Tan!"

Looking at the students and teachers who saluted respectfully one after another on the road, including the presence of king-level masters, Chen Wei immediately had a clear understanding of the prestige of his senior sister in the Alchemy Department.

"Who is he? Such a strange face, and he can actually walk with Professor Tan."

"Brother, have you been disconnected from the Internet recently? You don't even know the first place in this year's qualifying competition, the demon genius, the freshman Chen Wei?"

"No, doesn't this freshman class have another month to go before school starts?" A sophomore student with an envious face asked in surprise.

"Two days ago, you must know that Professor Tan personally helped two freshmen to handle the registration procedures." An ordinary-looking boy said.

"No way, Professor Tan did this little thing herself. Could it be that she is planning to accept Chen Wei as her disciple?"

"Who knows? Chen Wei is a top SSS-level genius. Which teacher doesn't want to accept a disciple with unlimited potential?"

"But that's Professor Tan after all. There are only a few master-level alchemists in Rosewood University!"

"Tsk, which beastmaster who can be admitted to Rosewood University is not a genius? There are so many beastmasters on the Ziwei list who are stronger than Chen Wei!"

"Then may I ask what your ranking is on the Ziwei list?"

"This..."

...

Under the envious eyes of everyone, Chen Wei and his companion found a quiet private room on the third floor of the cafeteria and sat down.

After Sister Tan skillfully ordered a few dishes, she handed the menu to Chen Wei.

"Scallion-flavored roast duck: 1 credit (10,000 star coins)

Steamed dragon fish: 5 credits (50,000 star coins)

Ice-heart snake soup: 20 credits (200,000 star coins)

Flying dragon steamed soup: 50 credits (500,000 star coins)

Red sandalwood dragon liver: 1,000 credits (credits only)..."

Looking at the expensive dishes on the menu, which were priced in points and star coins, Chen Wei's pupils shrank slightly.

Unlike the cheap and good dishes on the first floor of the cafeteria, the food on the third floor is really expensive, especially this red sandalwood dragon liver. The price of 1,000 credits alone is enough to exchange for a perfect star-extracting pill in the school's beast resource library.

Even if he won the title of the first freshman, he only had 1,000 more credits than Yu Xiumin in his student card.

This title of the first freshman is worth a red sandalwood dragon liver?

Thinking of this, Chen Wei picked up a pen and silently ticked behind the scallion-flavored roast duck.

"Okay."

After taking a look at the menu, Senior Sister Tan said nothing, picked up the pen and ticked five dishes in a row.

"You should have practiced the body-building exercises, right? Eating more high-grade exotic beast meat will be of great benefit to your physical training."

Chen Wei nodded and did not refuse.

The canteen served dishes very quickly, and soon, the luxurious dishes filled the table.

"Let's eat first." Senior Sister Tan called.

Looking at the elegant senior sister in front of him, Chen Wei first drank a mouthful of the flying dragon steamed soup.

"Hmm, delicious!"

Feeling a strong source of power gradually spreading from his taste buds, the extremely delicious taste made Chen Wei's eyes light up.

"If it's delicious, eat more."

Looking at the little junior brother in front of him eating deliciously, even Tan Xueqing, who was used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas, couldn't help but have a big appetite and couldn't help eating more.

After enjoying lunch, Senior Sister Tan seemed to remember something and suddenly asked.

"Zitan University will not open until early September, when all freshmen will undergo a month-long military training. With your current physical condition, it would be a waste of time to participate in military training. Do you want me to help you push it off?"

"Isn't military training mandatory?" Chen Wei asked curiously.

Senior Sister Tan explained: "The annual military training for freshmen in the five major universities of Donghua is to hone the physique, willpower and team ability of freshmen beastmasters, so freshmen are not allowed to escape military training."

"Of course, there are always exceptions. Unlike beastmasters, talented freshmen with intermediate alchemist badges can choose not to participate in military training."

At this point, Tan Xueqing looked at Chen Wei.

"If you don't want to participate in military training, you'd better take time to go to the Alchemist Association to complete the level appraisal in the next month."

"Senior Sister, is military training dangerous?" Chen Wei asked in confusion.

He could vaguely feel that Senior Sister Tan didn't seem to want him to participate in military training.

"Not dangerous." Senior Sister Tan shook her head and denied.

If there were alien beasts that could harm military training students under the heavy protection of the legion, then Donghua would have been destroyed by alien beasts long ago.

Seeing this, Chen Wei's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt.

Senior Sister Tan smiled, "Junior brother, rather than becoming a powerful beastmaster, I hope you can focus on becoming an alchemist. Of course, this is just a suggestion, you can do it according to your own ideas."

"Every year, the freshmen who rank first in the five major military trainings of Donghua will receive a king-level pet or a sixth-level source device as a reward from the legion, but if you choose to give up military training and use the free month to follow me to learn alchemy, I will reward you with two bottles of sixth-level pills."
