I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Fang Wanfu, who was already in his sixties, pulled out a handful of his still-thick crew cut and said, bewilderedly, "Aren't we supposed to buy a batch?"

"I heard Lao Zhao mention it before. The research institute has confirmed that it is a 'high-quality additive', especially for pharmaceuticals."

Jiang Qizhang glanced at the light screen of his watch before answering, "What you said is just one of the characteristics of the green crystal. We don't know whether the crystal has other characteristics or uses yet."

"Almost everyone who has seen it can feel that it is not simple. It is difficult to discuss it before we fully understand it." Jiang Qi Zhang narrowed his eyes slightly and thought of some of Zhao Qiangguang's speculations about the crystal.

"Anyway, I still have some materials left. Let's use them up first."

Fang Wanfu raised the corner of his eyebrow. He had only heard of it but never seen it. Is it so mysterious?

He leaned forward and whispered in a low voice, "We're the buyers. We can just lower the price. Why wait for the results?"

Jiang Qizhang shook his head.

"Do you think Su Mo really knows nothing about that thing?"

"I don't think so."

"Let's take a step back and say that even if she really knew nothing, then the sample wouldn't have been given to just our family. Perhaps the academy and the Yan family are already researching this substance."

"Before you fully understand the value of this crystal, it will be difficult to negotiate a deal with Su Mo no matter how much you offer."

Fang Wanfu sat down awkwardly.

"Ok."

"Okay, we've wasted quite a bit of time today. It's okay now, go back and rest." Jiang Qi Zhang waved his hand.

"Eh."

······

After Su Mo came back from his trip to Blue Star, he concentrated on processing the insect egg meteorite. He was so focused that he didn't pay any attention to his watch (he was used to it in the Thunder Domain and wouldn't check his phone for no reason).

So she didn't answer the call from her silent watch, nor did she read the message. A few days later, the notification of data update completion sent by Star Network also lay there quietly.

Su Mo now only wanted to deal with the insect eggs as quickly as possible. She didn't want to waste any more time here. After all, she was already familiar with the various hand gestures for controlling fire.

After Su Mo's efforts and Yuan Qi bringing Song Yi to watch on the flying boat, nine days later, the matter here was finally concluded.

Su Mo collected the last bit of green crystals calcined from the meteorite into space, completely disrupting the Zerg's first attack on the moon.

The association received the information immediately.

The mission points to be paid to Su Mo were also transferred to his account after the meteorite was destroyed.

But Su Mo still didn't pay attention to checking the unread messages. She jumped onto the deck of the flying boat with ease.

Because Yuan Qi appreciates and likes Song Yi's cooking skills, Song Yi can now go up to the deck at will.

"Master, let's go. You've been busy since you came back. You haven't even visited my academy yet."

"The place where we learn and preach the Dao is probably different from the sect in Suzhou."

"Come on, I've had enough of this place."

As Yuan Qi spoke, he had already taken away the alchemy furnace and the magic weapon that had been used for more than half a month, and the barrier isolating this area disappeared in an instant.

Su Mo set the destination for the flying boat and let it go on its own.

The three of them sat in the living room, tasting wine, well, tasting wine.

It’s not that he had to drink something on this short journey. The main reason was that there were several bottles of wine on the table in the living room, one of which was the fruit wine brewed by Yanshu Factory. Su Mo tasted it only after seeing it.

Due to the shortage of raw materials, Yan Shu's factory does not produce much. In the past, he was too lazy to make too much for sale, and now he can't make too much. In short, for various reasons, the factory still basically supplies his own drinking.

Fortunately, he can afford it.

Su Mo felt a spicy sensation in his mouth at first, and after it subsided, he could taste a little sweetness.

"Tsk, I'm really not used to it. Tea is still better."

Yuan Qi and Song Yi looked at each other and laughed.

Su Mo herself couldn't see that her facial features were wrinkled at that moment, but they saw it clearly.

Su Mo was speechless. She changed the subject and said, "Master, you can open a course in the academy in the future. Perhaps there are talented people in alchemy on Blue Star who can inherit Master's skills."

Yuan Qi glanced over unhappily, full of disdain for his untalented disciple.

Su Mo: "..."

"I'm too lazy to do that. Don't think I don't know that your Blue Star is different from Suzhou. If I want to teach the disciples of Blue Star, I have to develop a new set of methods first."

"Who has the patience to do this?" Yuan Qi refused bluntly.

He got a lot of materials from his apprentice, including many Blue Star materials that he had never seen before. Doesn't he need time to study them?

Who has time for all that extra work?

Su Mo was just asking casually, and she wouldn't force it if she didn't want to.

After listening to Yuan Qi's words, she also agreed with him. The problem of converting between the use of mental power and the use of psychic energy is also a topic that is giving her a headache now.

She definitely couldn't figure it out on her own.

"Master, it doesn't matter if you ignore others, but you have to teach me."

"I want to know how to feel the flow of the spell and what the basic logic of spellcasting is."

Yuan Qi subconsciously wanted to ask what was the point of knowing all that, but he stopped himself in time. Forget it, his disciple probably wouldn't go far in the art of alchemy, so he might as well learn something else.

Anyway, he had learned a little about magic when he was in the sect.

"Okay, let me tell you about this."

The journey is not far, and it would be even faster if we take a flying boat.

When they arrived at the academy, the flying boat went directly to the top of the mountain without alarming the teachers and students below. Only Xu Li, Zhou Wei, Liu Moxi and a few others who had the authority to operate the defense formation could sense the flying boat.

Just when they were about to gather together to see if the principal had anything to tell them, they received a message from the principal telling them not to go.

Then just continue with what you are doing.

Yes, Su Mo first used the bracelet to tell them that they didn’t need to come over because her teacher was going to teach her at the moment.

Xu Li and the others had all been to the meteorite and had of course met Yuan Qi, but they only knew basic information about this principal's teacher.

Yuan Qi, a native of Suzhou, was a master of alchemy.

There is nothing else. I don’t know how old he is or what his strength is.

But anyone who can become a master of alchemy would definitely not be what he appears to be. Yuan Qi looks to be less than 30 years old.

Liu Moxi and several people from Suzhou guaranteed that this man must be over a hundred years old.

Although 58-year-old Xu Li does not look her real age due to the spiritual nourishment in recent years, she is really envious.

Who doesn’t want to stay young forever?

Su Mo didn't know what her employees were talking about Yuan Qi in private. She had already taken Yuan Qi to the dormitory arranged for him.

It is located on the top of one of the mountains, in one of the three small courtyards. Su Mo's dormitory is right next door.

The courtyard is not big, with a two-story building inside and a small pavilion outside. There are flowers and grass in the yard, and the environment is nice.

The top of the mountain is where spiritual energy gathers, and these three courtyards are also the best dormitories.

"This place is not comparable to Zixiao Sect, Master, please don't despise it." Su Mo was polite.

"I don't despise you. It's expected. You are my disciple. You don't even have a spiritual vein here. How dare you compare yourself with one of the four great sects in Suzhou?" Yuan Qi had already walked into the courtyard leisurely.

Su Mo: "..."

Song Yi followed beside him and burst out laughing.

He had been following Yuan Qi these days and had heard some things about Suzhou, and of course he had also occasionally heard of the Zixiao Sect.

Su Mo muttered to himself, this master was probably hunted down for more than the reasons he mentioned! It was probably also because of that unpleasant mouth.

"Why don't you come in for class? What are you doing outside?" A leisurely voice floated out.

"Got it!" Su Mo walked inside.

"Uncle Song, you will be in charge of the food here from now on. Please try your best to satisfy his appetite."

"I understand, Principal." Song Yi nodded.

"Principal, I won't go in since you're in class. I'll go back to the kitchen and take a look."

"Okay, go ahead."

Su Mo listened to this lesson for a whole day, and then under Yuan Qi's guidance, he actually felt the process of spiritual energy flow when casting spells.

This was something she had never experienced before. In the past, when she cast spells, she had enough spiritual energy and could easily do it with the hand gestures and verbal formulas. She had no idea about the direction of the spell when guided by the hand gestures, or the logic in the verbal formulas.

Yuan Qi did not conduct in-depth research in this area, he just had some understanding of it.

But teaching Su Mo is enough.
