Chapter 431 Coming to See Laughter
—Post: "Passing by the Alchemy Academy completely confused me. What kind of pills do you alchemists refine?"—
[2003L: I've finally waited for this day! I've been looking forward to it for so long! Here I come, open class! Hahaha]
2004L: Now we can openly consume pills, right? I heard that the rewards from open courses like Pill Cultivation are all free to consume.
2006L: Never mind, I will definitely attend the open class on Danxiu (a type of alchemy), even if there are other classes!
2007L: Hahaha, this is the first time I've seen someone fight for credits just for a single pill. You'll regret skipping class when finals come around.
2010L: Ah, I thought half a semester had passed and you guys already knew what kind of pills Jiang He taught you to make. Haven't you bought them yet?
2114L: Don't even mention it, it's really hard to buy. I only know one name for it, something like "Vinegar-Braised Cabbage," which is quite hard to remember.
2136L: This pill's name is quite sophisticated, unlike any other pill's name.
2237L: Haha, I think so too. Even the names of the pills refined by Boss Jiang are so unique. I'm already looking forward to it!
2369L: On the day of the open class, teachers from other universities will probably come too. I doubt they'll definitely make stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, since this should be a new elixir recipe. I've never seen any elixir smell better than this.
2400L: That makes sense. Usually, the content of public courses is one version behind.
2531L: Ah...

Lingqing Academy's open classes are scheduled earlier in the day, and teachers from other academies have been arriving in Zhongzhou these past few days.
Every open class at Lingqing Academy is always packed with students.
As Lingqing Academy's flagship program for alchemy has been a top choice for many years, alchemists from almost every academy have come to study there.
Apart from the alchemists of the Wanjue Academy.
Qian Zhi slowly finished packing up the teaching tools he needed for class.
As soon as he entered the office, Zhang Ye came to greet him:
"Tell me, these alchemists from the academies are just too enthusiastic. They come like this every year, and I really can't keep up with it, haha."
"I'm not bragging, but our academy's alchemy skills are truly unparalleled."
Zhang Ye proudly raised his head:
"Haha, that's true. I hope everyone can focus on other universities next year. I'm getting a little annoyed by all the attention on our university."
Qian Zhi chimed in, "The Wanjue Academy's open classes are in a few days. They've scheduled them late this year to avoid clashing with our schedule. The Danxiu Academy also has three open classes. Are you going?"
“I’m definitely going. The last time the Wanjue Academy’s nutrient solution alchemy incident caused such a fuss, I want to see what tricks this new generation alchemist is up to. If you ask me, an alchemist who misleads students like this shouldn’t exist.”
"That's right. Not a single alchemist came to Wanjue Academy this year. They're so confident. Wen Chouchun is one thing, she's from a sect. But Yun Lukuo and Jiang He... Yun Lukuo's alchemy skills were no good. He was dismissed and then came to Wanjue. I don't know what Wanjue was thinking, taking in someone like that as an alchemist."
"Of course, Yun Lukuo wouldn't dare go back to Lingqing. It's already good enough that the academy didn't ask the Alchemist Association to revoke his certificate. People with such academic misconduct are a menace wherever they go. And that Jiang He, I've heard about her before. She's clearly a sword cultivator, why did she go and refine pills? I don't know what's wrong with her brain. She's deliberately marketing herself to attract attention. I think her career as an alchemist is over."
This year, Lingqing Academy is a hot topic for open courses, attracting many teachers. Similarly, Wanjue Academy is also a popular choice for open courses.
As everyone knows, Wanjue Academy finally won first place in the Academy Competition after hundreds of years. The government not only allocated funds but also issued a special support document for the sword cultivation major of Wanjue Academy.
Compared to previous years, Wanjue Academy is undoubtedly the biggest winner this year.
Some academies are specifically looking for the Wanjue Academy's open class on sword cultivation. This is because Wanjue Academy's sword cultivators performed exceptionally well in the previous academy competition, and recently, the Sword Tower's rankings have been dominated by Wanjue Academy members, which has piqued the interest of teachers from other academies.
The sword cultivation program at Wanjue Academy has always been good, but I don't know what they've been teaching lately. It's unclear why so many cultivators have suddenly passed the sixth and seventh floors of the Sword Tower. It seems rather illogical.
As for the other institutions, like Zhang Ye and Qian Zhi, they focused their attention on the alchemy major at Wanjue Academy.
In their view, the alchemy and sword cultivation majors at Wanjue Academy were completely opposite.
The latter has already made a name for itself, while the former is still a newly established major.
The alchemy program at Wanjue Academy has attracted much attention since its inception.
Whether it was when they applied to universities or when they recently trended on social media, besides alchemists from other universities, many ordinary people and cultivators have also focused their attention on the Myriad Absolutes Academy.
Let's start by saying that just one or two months before the college entrance examination, the documents from Wanjue Academy had only just been issued and were still fresh in people's minds when the major codes were released.
When the alchemy major was established at Wanjue Academy, most of the family members who were unaware of it were in favor. After all, Wanjue Academy was one of the four major academies. With the sword cultivation major preceding it, the alchemy major's faculty and other resources should not be too bad.
As it turns out, they were too optimistic.
Lacking both resources and alchemists, it's just a scam operating out of thin air. What's the difference between this and a regular university's alchemy program?
In addition, due to the similarity between the alchemy major code of Wanjue Academy and Lingqing Academy, many cultivators mistakenly filled in the wrong application.
These parents, who hoped their daughters would become phoenixes and their sons would become dragons, immediately objected and took to the internet to attack Wanjue Academy, hoping that under the pressure of public opinion, Wanjue Academy would give up these students, or if that didn't work, they would find some experienced alchemists.
What's the point of having students from your own school as teachers?
After the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao), Wanjue Academy topped the trending lists on both the big and small search rankings. It had been several months since the Gaokao, and everyone had almost forgotten about it. However, Wanjue Academy suddenly surged to the top of the trending list again because of Jiang He's use of nutrient solution to refine pills. Marketing accounts took things out of context, and other cultivators saw this.
Good heavens, using nutrient solution to refine pills? This is ridiculous!
In the public eye, the reputation of the alchemy major at Wanjue Academy is completely ruined. There are countless posts and blogs warning against it, and not a single article seems to have any positive view of the alchemy major.
This public lecture on alchemy was a direct result of the Wanjue Academy's poor reputation, which led to half of the alchemists from other academies coming to watch the spectacle.
Didn't they say Jiang He is a high-level alchemist? Let them see what kind of pills are made using nutrient solution.
A number of flying cars bearing the academy's logo gradually arrived at Wanjue Academy.
Zhang Ye arrogantly stepped out of the carriage, ignoring the welcoming cultivators.
