After the contestants selected for the branch campus were taken away from the venue one after another, only the ten students with the right to compete in the finals were left waiting in the open space.
As usual, the dean of Imperial College will personally come to encourage them.
Dean Liao nodded to the top ten contestants one by one with an indifferent expression. Only when he walked in front of Chen Shen, a smile appeared on his solemn old face!
The old man asked: "Young man, what on earth were you doing burning a lot of iron star grass with that broken cauldron? Don't tell me, you were just doing it on a whim."
"Uh...what if I say, it's really just for fun?" Chen Shen replied with a smile.
Dean Liao's old face suddenly sank: "Humph! Then I, the dean, will punish you for having a bad attitude! It will be more difficult for you if you enter my school in the future!"
Chen Shen smiled bitterly: "Okay, I'll tell you the truth. The reason why the iron star grass is burned in the cauldron is because the iron star grass contains the essence of spiritual iron, which is an excellent thermal conductor with low cost and high yield."
"As you can see, this medicinal cauldron has been broken into pieces. The biggest impact is that the heat conduction is difficult to balance when refining the medicine, which destroys the integrity."
"After pouring out the iron star grass residue, the spirit iron essence will adhere to the inside of the medicine cauldron in a short period of time, which is equivalent to a layer of super conductive thermal coating. This is why it only took me a quarter of an hour to refine it.
The main reason for the two high-grade Mortal Qi Restoration Pills."
Chen Shen said 1510.
These were not taught to him by the system spirit, but a little secret he accidentally discovered in the game he tested in his previous life.
Many things in the world now reborn in another world are similar to the fantasy game he participated in testing in his previous life, so he boldly gave it a try, and the results obviously did not disappoint him.
Chen Shen's explanation immediately made Dean Liao praise him repeatedly: "Hmm... Lingtie conducts heat. Because it is attached to the inner wall of the cauldron, it will not affect the properties of the elixir that will be refined next. Wonderful, wonderful
ah!"
He patted the young man on the shoulder: "Your understanding of pharmacology and medicinal properties has penetrated deep into your bones, which is very good! I am looking forward to your performance in the Dantang finals!"
Speaking of which, Dean Liao blinked like an old naughty boy: "I would like to advise you, it is best to buy a decent medicine cauldron before the finals, so as not to lose the chain at the critical moment."
After saying that, the old man turned around and walked away without stopping at all.
At this time, more than a hundred teachers from Imperial College fell into a deathly silence at the same time. Everyone was dumbfounded and had dull expressions!
Because that old man with gorgeous hair is the dean of the prestigious Imperial Capital Academy—Liao Cangmang!
This old man was famously strict and was nicknamed "Yam Luo Zombie Face".
Yama refers to his temper, which is like the tyrannical King Yama.
He has extremely strict requirements for teachers and students. If he finds anything he doesn't like, he will give him a good beating. It doesn't matter whether you are a general or a rich man!
Zombie face refers to his behavior. His face seems to have been frozen by thousands of years of ice. Very few people have ever seen him smile!
But even so, this old man with a strange temper was still prospering in Daxia. Even the royal family and nobles greeted him with smiles when they saw him...
Now, Liao Cangmang, who has the zombie face of Hell, actually praises a young boy, smiles brightly, and even makes a joke with a wink!
No wonder the teachers were so surprised.
However, as the principal who received special treatment, Chen Shen himself did not show how flattered he was.
To be honest, it doesn't matter to him whether he can enter the inner courtyard of the Imperial Capital Academy or not!
He has the help of the Invincible System. Instead of spending time going to the academy to let the teachers teach him, it would be more satisfying for him to make more money, buy more unique techniques to devour, or hunt mysterious beasts to upgrade.
The reason why the boy participated in the Hundred Schools League was just to have a reason to return to his family.
Otherwise, the elders of the Chen family will definitely make irresponsible remarks, and his grandfather Chen Zangfeng will be in a dilemma. Chen Shen does not want to embarrass his grandfather.
"Wang Dun, give this cauldron back to you."
Chen Shen turned around and returned the broken cauldron to its original owner, and said with a smile: "I can't tell, but your elixir skills are very superb. You were tenth in the audition and shortlisted for the finals. You are so awesome!"
After Wang Xiaopang put the cauldron into the Space Xuan Ring, he scratched his head with a silly smile on his face: "The medicinal cauldron I used is a low-grade Xuan-level mysterious weapon, and I refined a high-grade healing pill. Brother Chen, you are the real one."
You're so awesome. With that broken cauldron, you can refine two top-grade Qi-Reviving Pills. You are my idol!"
When Chen Shen and Wang Dun were chatting and spanking, a handsome young man squeezed past the two of them very rudely.
Then, the young man turned his head and snorted coldly: "Fat Wang, you are also the son of the Minister of Rites after all, and you actually call yourself a brother-in-law with a bumpkin from another country. You really disgrace the dignitaries of our imperial capital!"
Wang Dun was not angry after being lectured like this. He just smiled stupidly and said, "Shao Erbi, what you said is wrong. As the saying goes, we are all brothers from all over the world. What's more, Chen Shen's alchemy skills are indeed extraordinary. I regard him as my brother."
Why not?"
"Huh! Look at your worthless face, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you!"
After the young man named Shao Erbi finished speaking, he turned to point his finger at Chen Shen. After staring up and down, he asked with a tone that was half mocking and half contemptuous: "Are you that old man Deng Yideng?"
A little trash trained by trash?"
Chen Shen did not answer, but asked: "Shao Erbi, your surname is Shao, is it related to Shao Wenkai?"
Shao Erbi chuckled and patted her chest very proudly: "That's right! Shao Wenkai is my second uncle! My Shao family is definitely the leading and most famous family in this imperial capital! When you enter the Imperial Capital Academy, my second uncle and I will teach you how to be a good person.
Yes, hahaha!”
"Haha, I really don't understand where your sense of superiority comes from?"
Chen Shen sneered: "But I have to say, your name is really good, it perfectly explains the three realms of human beings!"
Shao Erbi was stunned when he heard this, then raised his head high and asked with great interest: "Oh? I don't see that you, a country bumpkin, still know how to understand names and words? What three realms of life does my name interpret? Let's talk about it.
listen?"
Chen Shen smiled secretly and said loudly: "Shao Erbi, you live up to your name!"
"Spoon, second-rate, and stupid, these three realms are fully demonstrated by you! High, really high!"
"Pfft!" Wang Xiaopang burst into laughter!
"Hahaha..." The other eight finalists also burst into laughter!
Each of them has a very tough background, and there is no pressure to mock Shao Erbi without restraint.
"My surname is Chen, I will remember you!"
Shao Erbi was ashamed and angry. She gritted her teeth and uttered harsh words: "Private fights are prohibited in the Hundred Schools League. You are lucky! I would like to advise you, it is best to give up entering the Imperial Capital University. Otherwise, I will beat you every time I see you in the future!"
