Chapter 185: The Ancient Glory of the Alchemy Department! Obtaining the Recommendation Letter!
In the alchemy department of the inner academy, Xiao Ze walked through, with a slight aroma of medicines floating in the air, surrounded by an ancient atmosphere.
The last time there was chaos in the inner academy, the alchemy department was not affected, so there was no need to rebuild it.
Familiar with the place, Xiao Ze headed to Elder Huo's office.
He noticed that the students of the alchemy department were heading in the same direction and overheard their conversations.
"Hurry, hurry, Elder Huo is giving a class today! Elder Huo's alchemy skills are exceptional and he rarely teaches!"
"Really? We can't miss this!"
Xiao Ze raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Was Elder Huo going to give a class today?
Following the students of the alchemy department, he arrived at a small plaza.
Sure enough, at the front of the plaza was Elder Huo, with a serious expression.
The students were in complete silence, listening attentively as Elder Huo shared his experience in alchemy.
Xiao Ze noticed that many instructors from the alchemy department were also present, with expressions of great interest, listening attentively.
Elder Huo, of course, noticed Xiao Ze's arrival and gave him a small nod, to which Xiao Ze responded with a smile.
Elder Huo did not take the initiative to invite Xiao Ze to the stage to teach alchemy.
After all, he had not consulted with Xiao Ze beforehand, and doing so in public would be too much to ask.
Many students and instructors noticed Elder Huo's gesture towards Xiao Ze.
However, Elder Huo did not interrupt his teaching and continued with his lesson.
This made no one dare to get distracted, and everyone continued listening attentively to Elder Huo's alchemy experience.
Elder Huo, noticing Xiao Ze's arrival and even seeing him listening from below, felt somewhat emotional.
Because Elder Huo knew that Xiao Ze's alchemy skills were even deeper than his own.
Now, with Xiao Ze listening from below, Elder Huo unconsciously began to share some of his unique methods in alchemy.
He wanted to see Xiao Ze's reaction.
However, to his disappointment, Xiao Ze only nodded slightly.
On the other hand, the students and instructors showed expressions of amazement and gratitude, which encouraged Elder Huo a bit.
The alchemy lesson left many students feeling enriched, and many instructors also gained valuable insights.
"Well, students, alchemy is not just learned by listening but by practicing! I hope when you return, you will practice diligently."
After finishing, Elder Huo approached Xiao Ze.
"Xiao Ze, my friend, you wouldn't come here without reason. Is there something the alchemy department can do for you?"
"Yes, Elder Huo..." Xiao Ze said with hands together in respect.
"No rush, let's talk in my office," said Elder Huo with a smile.
The two headed to Elder Huo's office, leaving many students and instructors surprised.
Was that the same strict and serious Elder Huo?
How come in Xiao Ze's presence, he was so kind, even calling him a friend?
Some students who did not know Xiao Ze's identity, after hearing explanations from others, realized Xiao Ze's impressive background.
The growth path of Xiao Ze so far was a legendary story that the inner academy students knew well.
And the instructors also marveled at Xiao Ze's arrival.
One instructor in particular, with a complex look, remembered how she had guided Xiao Ze through the alchemy department.
But now, the gap between them was vast, even Elder Huo had to treat Xiao Ze kindly.
Back in the office, both sat down, and Xiao Ze spoke respectfully.
"Elder Huo, lately I have encountered an obstacle in my alchemy progress, so I came to ask if you could recommend me to study at the Dan Tower."
Elder Huo was surprised to hear this, looking Xiao Ze up and down, surprised that Xiao Ze, at his age, knew about the Dan Tower.
Elder Huo stroked his beard, thoughtful, and then spoke.
"Although the alchemy department has declined, in its heyday, we had the prestige to recommend students to the Dan Tower."
"Please, Elder Huo, help me!" Xiao Ze said enthusiastically.
"Xiao Ze, being a student of the alchemy department, has every right to seek to improve his skills, and we to support him."
Elder Huo said with a smile.
Then he stood up and gestured for Xiao Ze to follow him.
As they walked, Elder Huo explained to Xiao Ze.
"The head of the alchemy department two generations ago was a level seven alchemist. But in my generation, the department has fallen into decline."
"However, with Xiao Ze, the department could have a bright future again."
"The head of the department from two generations ago left a recommendation letter that I have kept in a secret chamber. Follow me to get it."
With that, Elder Huo opened the door to a secret chamber, where each item was protected by a layer of golden energy.
Xiao Ze stayed at the door while Elder Huo entered and took out a jade plaque from one of the protections.
"My friend, this is the recommendation letter, but the journey to the Dan Tower in the Central Region will depend on you."
"Thank you, Elder Huo! It is already a great help to give me the recommendation letter. I dare not ask for more."
Xiao Ze took the letter with respect and gratitude.
Elder Huo smiled, pleased with Xiao Ze's attitude.
Then, Elder Huo insisted that Xiao Ze evaluate his recent alchemy class.
Xiao Ze, with no intention of hiding anything, shared his ideas and knowledge about alchemy.
Elder Huo nodded repeatedly, admiring the depth of Xiao Ze's skills.
Until the moon was high in the sky, Xiao Ze bid farewell to Elder Huo and left his office.
"Definitely, alchemists should communicate more. Although my skills are a bit better than Elder Huo's, this interaction was not fruitless."
Xiao Ze stroked the recommendation letter, feeling a slight warmth and a soul mark on it.
The jade plaque had the words "Jia Nan" on the front and "Dan Tower" on the back.
"With this, I can go to the Dan Tower to study. Perhaps I can secure an elder position there."
"The elder position is not the most important thing, the main thing is to obtain a soul cultivation technique, which is crucial for advancing in the spiritual realm."
"The progress in expanding the Origin Tree is encouraging. Now I must concentrate on breaking through to the Dou Zong level, as I will need that strength to venture into the Central Region."
Xiao Ze returned to the seventh level of the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower, planning to close off to advance to the Dou Zong level.
He looked at the system panel, recalling the last tenfold feedback from Xun Er, who was already in the Dou Huang realm. In the original story, Xun Er at this time was only playing with students at Jia Nan Academy.
"I wonder what the special reward for reaching the Dou Huang level will be."
He took out a breakthrough pill he had made in his spare time and swallowed it.
Then Xiao Ze slowly closed his eyes and thought silently.
"Receive the feedback reward!"
Boom!
A vast energy flowed into Xiao Ze's body, making the power of the breaking pill seem small in comparison.
