Section 25: Acquired Basic Alchemy Seal, Challenge Imminent

  A memorable alchemy lesson for the students of the Imperial Academy has finally come to an end.

  As he stood up from his seat, Ma You walked right in front of Chu Yun, staring at him with gritted teeth and said: "This time I made a mistake, so let you be arrogant for now. If you have the guts, accept my challenge today! I'll let you taste what it's like to face someone truly formidable."

  He lost face today and wants to regain his dignity.

  Chu Yun smiled faintly: "What makes you think you can be special, wanting to challenge my crowd? But don't worry, I'll draw lots fairly. Instead of resorting to such foolish and shallow provocation, you'd better pray that it works."

  "Ah!" Ma Youcai gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing extreme anger and humiliation. Looking at Chu Yun's faint smile, he was so angry that he wanted to tear Chu Yun's detestable mouth into two halves on the spot.

  "Haven't you left yet? Do you really want to swallow the Blood Qi Pill?" Chu Yun raised her voice and handed a Blood Qi Pill she had refined herself to Ma Youcai.

  The scholars who were just leaving their seats all heard the commotion and stopped in their tracks. They whispered to each other, pointing at Chu Yun and Ma Youcai.

  Ma Youcai felt extremely embarrassed, feeling the gaze of countless people around him, like needles piercing his face. He let out a low growl and glared at Chu Yun with a fierce stare. With a belly full of suppressed anger and resentment, he forced his way through the crowd and left the scene.

  A burst of laughter around.

  Chu Yun didn't leave, but instead walked in front of Bai Mei Dan Shifu and sat down cross-legged.

  "Do you know the three major schools of demon-subduing to learn the hand seals for alchemy?" White Eyebrow Dan Master's face was stern, as he spoke to Chu Yun in a low voice. The students in the school had all dispersed, leaving only Chu Yun and him remaining.

  "I see." Chu Yun nodded, relying on his past life's memories to answer, "The three major Dharma gates are divided into Voice Control Dharma, Seal Control Dharma, and Spirit Control Dharma. Among them, the Voice Control Dharma is opening one's mouth to speak, shouting out the name of the Dharma, issuing commands. The Seal Control Dharma is making hand seals, directing the control of demons. The Spirit Control Dharma relies on one's own thoughts to synchronize with the demon and communicate."

  Bai Mei Dan Shifu, however, slightly furrowed his brow: "This is the superficial impression that wandering knights have of the Yu Yao San Fa Men, but you can have such an understanding, it's already quite good."

  "He continued to explain in detail: 'Let's not talk about the other two for now, let's just talk about the Seal of the Demon Master today. The Demon Master can use hand seals to replace speech and control the demon spirits. If we divide the seal methods according to their functions, they can be divided into combat seals, alchemy seals, refining soldier seals, subjugation seals, etc. The more exquisite the seal method is, the better the effect will be. Today I'll teach you the basic alchemy seal.'"

  Chu Yun's eyes lit up instantly, his heart racing with excitement, and he couldn't help but adjust his sitting posture. This basic alchemy seal was something that could be encountered but not sought after even outside. In his past life, he didn't even dare to hope for a set of alchemy seals.

  Nowadays, not only is he given the opportunity to study, but also has a famous teacher to tutor him individually. Chu Yun cherishes this opportunity very much.

  His expression fell into the eyes of Bai Mei Dan Shifu, instantly making Bai Mei Dan Shifu's good impression even stronger. No matter which gentleman, they all like diligent and studious scholars. Chu Yun's true feelings were revealed, this is something that Bai Mei Dan Shifu rarely sees in other scholars.

  So, Bai Mei Dan Shifu's explanation was even more careful. Even among them, he intentionally mixed in many precious experiences, allowing Chu Yun to avoid many detours.

  The basic hand seals in the Basic Alchemy Seal only have 7 kinds. However, when combined into various seal techniques, there are more than 550 of them, which surprises Chu Yun greatly.

  However many seals he learned, he became more and more enthusiastic. This kind of full learning enthusiasm made Bai Meidanshi secretly admire him.

  One person studies with diligence, one person teaches with diligence. Time flies quickly, two hours pass like this.

  "Alright, the basic pill refining technique is the foundation of foundations, you've learned it. But learning doesn't mean mastering, mastering doesn't mean being proficient, being proficient doesn't mean being skilled, and being skilled doesn't mean being instinctive." Before parting ways, White Eyebrow Dan Master patted Chu Yun's shoulder and reminded him in a warm tone.

  Chu Yun thought of the scene in the school just now, where many scholars who had mastered the basic alchemy seal still failed to refine the pill. He nodded and replied, "I will definitely work harder, Master Dan."

  "Uh-huh. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, foundation is crucial. My next requirement for you is to be at least proficient. Later when you learn advanced alchemy, you will find its benefits. Go."

  "The student has retired." Chu Yun left the school, but had already made up his mind: to master it? Although it was a target set by Bai Mei Dan Shi, it was not his own goal. If he couldn't grasp the basic alchemy techniques to the point of "making them second nature", it would be unforgivable to his past self!

  Practice basic alchemy seals!

  Start with 7 basic hand seals, Chu Yun grasped the hand seal and didn't move, each hand seal took turns for a while. Trying to use body memory to remember these 7 hand seals.

  As soon as the alchemy class was over, he returned to his dormitory and began to meditate for two hours.

  Until noon, he walked while pinching his hand seal, and went to the cafeteria for lunch. While eating, one hand held chopsticks, and the other pinched the alchemy seal. The two hands alternated from time to time.

  In the cafeteria, people occasionally cast strange glances at me. Chu Yun ignored them and continued with her usual self.

  "Chu brother, I heard you made a big splash in your alchemy class. Even Ma Youcai was impressed by you. Hmm? You're holding the basic hand seal, what are you doing?" Jin Bi Han had just finished class and came to the cafeteria, where he saw Chu Yun.

  Chu Yun answered truthfully.

  "My god, you really don't even know the basic hand seal for alchemy!" Jin Bi Han was speechless after hearing this and couldn't help but roll her eyes at Chu Yun. "You actually chose to take the alchemy class, I'm impressed. Do you know? The whole school is talking about it now. They're saying that you deliberately didn't use a hand seal for alchemy, intentionally humiliating Ma You Cai in public..."

  Jin Bi Han's eyes sparkled with excitement as soon as he mentioned the rumor, his spirit was highly lifted.

  This time it was Chu Yun's turn to roll her eyes, it was obvious that he himself didn't know how to make the Dan handprint, and Ma Youcai had publicly provoked him. Unexpectedly, rumors spread back and forth, and it became that she took the initiative to attack, humiliating Ma Youcai severely.

  "Ma Youcai, Hua Ying, Wei Jie and Ning Yiyi are the four big shots of the Haizu Bookworms. Brother Chu, you hadn't even arrived yet and already offended Ning Yiyi. On your first day here, you offended Yan Que, the leader of the commoner bookworms. On your second day, you almost got all of Ning Yiyi's flower knights to rise up in revolt. And on your third day, you took the initiative to attack and humiliate Ma Youcai. You're really too powerful!"

  Jin Bi Han patted Chu Yun's shoulder, her tone was firm but not heavy, and instead seemed very cheerful.

  Chu Yun's face was very calm, and he said frankly: "I didn't do it on purpose. They came to me themselves, and I had no choice. But with just these people, they are not enough to become obstacles for my progress."

  Jin Bi Han's heart skipped a beat. Chu Yun's confident and almost disdainful tone at this moment showed a different kind of charm, shaking the heartstrings of Princess Dunhuang.

  "I was going to lend you a hand, but seeing how confident you look... hmm, I'll just enjoy the show for now." Jin Bi Han's mouth curved upwards, her stunning beauty blooming like a delicate flower.

  "Hey, what's with the attitude? Your roommate is under attack from all sides, and as her closest friend, you should at least lend a hand?" Chu Yun teased.

  "If I were to take action, there would be a price to pay. Honestly, I'm really looking forward to the ten matches this afternoon. With your strength, if you manage to pick one of Ma Youcai, Hua Ying or Wei Ruo from among the ten people, you absolutely won't last ten rounds. At that time, I'll make my move and save the hero!" Jin Bi Han was eager to try, thinking of a clever plan, with a smile at the corner of his mouth. But he didn't realize he had let something slip.

  "American hero? Ha! I'm no hero. But you look like a beauty." Chu Yun raised an eyebrow, grasping the conversation handle.

  "Cough cough, this young master's appearance is absolutely stunningly beautiful, this beauty is not that beauty!" Jin Bi Han coughed repeatedly, his face flushing red, revealing a tense emotion.

  "Don't worry, I won't draw any of the three." Chu Yun's expression was very calm. After finishing dinner, he stood up and headed towards the mountain arena.

  Chrysanthemum... um, you all understand...
