Another World: How to Practice Without Spiritual Energy

Long Xing looked at the two of them in surprise.

His granddaughter is the treasure of the family, the apple of the family's eye. The family keeps a close eye on her and there is no record of her having any interaction with this young man.

"Do you two know each other?" Long Xing asked.

"I don't know him," they said in unison.

This made the old emperor standing by a little annoyed.

My daughter was just taken away by the birdman, and this guy is already messing around with other women, who are my niece and the granddaughter of the Dragon Rider.

He doesn't want to live anymore.

"Hmm?" Long Xing snorted coldly and looked at Chen Xian.

The latter immediately changed his tone.

"I met him in the Alchemy Hall this morning."

When Chen Xian said this, the beautiful woman with tiger teeth blushed a little.

The old emperor was even more surprised when he saw this scene. His niece was usually spoiled and was always carefree. How could she behave like a daughter?

When the tiger-toothed beauty saw that her grandfather and uncle the emperor were staring at her, she panicked and immediately ran to her master, Master Kmi.

"Master, guess how much Qing'er scored in this assessment?"

Long Qingqing pulled Master Kemi's arm and shook him coquettishly.

Master Kemi did not respond. At this moment, all her attention was on the silver metal smelted by Chen Xian.

When Long Qingqing saw that her master didn't respond to her, she became a little angry because of her proud personality.

She ran to the old emperor again, took his hand and acted coquettishly.

"Uncle Emperor, you see my master ignored me and only looked at that piece of iron."

The old emperor had just lost the company of his daughter, and he seemed to love this niece whom he had doted on since childhood even more.

Said with a smile on his face.

"This is a silver metal that has just been smelted. It may be a metal ingot of better quality than iron."

Long Qingqing looked at the dark-bearded man who was still busy by the fire and frowned slightly.

"Isn't it just silver metal? I can also refine it. I don't need to worry about the smelting technology of the Peacock Empire."

The old emperor touched Long Qingqing's head lovingly.

"Girl, you have the best smelting skills in the entire continent, and the ability to refine silver metal in one go is even more amazing."

"What's so difficult about this? Look, I made this this morning. Isn't it also silver?"

Long Qingqing took out a silver metal bead the size of a red date and displayed it on Bai Leng's palm.

"What is this?" Long Xing, who was standing aside, also walked closer and looked at the silver metal bead in surprise.

"Isn't it the metal smelting subject in the exam this morning? I smelted this, and the examiner gave me an S. He said it was the only S score he had ever gotten in the decades he had been in charge of the exam..."

Long Qingqing proudly showed her little fangs and kept showing off, never mentioning the fact that she had turned into a frog princess.

Long Xing picked up Long Qingqing's silver metal ball and came to Master Kemi.

"Master Kemi, please look at this metal ball and compare it with this refined metal block. This is the smelted metal that Qing'er received an S score for when he participated in the Alchemy Guild Assessment."

"Qing'er? How could she refine silver metal?"

But Kemi still picked up the metal ball and looked at it carefully.

"It's of good quality, harder than ordinary smelted iron, but it still has too many impurities. It's much worse than this metal block. It's no exaggeration to say that the metal block in my hand can be directly made into a sword blank. It's estimated to weigh more than 50 kilograms."

"What do you mean more than 50 kilograms? The ore you just picked out in your garden, Lao Long, should be kilograms of medium-quality."

"Your Majesty, the ore I just picked is indeed of medium quality. Logically, it can produce at most 20 to 30 kilograms of raw iron."

The emperor was shocked but also excited.

Regardless of other things, the fact that this technology can produce twice as much metal from the same amount of raw ore, if other empires knew about this technology, they would scramble to buy it even if they wanted to start a war.

The dark-bearded man who was originally busy stopped what he was doing. He stared at the silver metal block and said something crazy.

"Impossible. How can one hundred kilograms of medium-grade ore be used to refine more than fifty kilograms of raw iron? Even high-quality ore can only produce 50 kilograms at most. There is absolutely no way there would be more, unless he used special-grade raw iron ore. You Tianqing people actually resorted to such despicable means to win or lose."

"Your Majesty, I don't believe that he can use 100 kilograms of medium-grade iron ore to refine more than 50 kilograms of metal. Cheating in front of your Majesty and General Long is a contempt for the laws of the empire. Your Majesty, please investigate it strictly."

Prince Kang immediately began to question it.

When the emperor heard what the two said, his smile disappeared immediately.

That's right. How can one hundred kilograms of medium-quality raw iron ore be used to produce more than fifty kilograms of raw iron?

I am too concerned about solving the problem of military weapons.

But this kid dared to deceive me, his crime is unforgivable.

"Dongri, cheating in front of me is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Do you have anything else to say?"

Seeing that the Emperor was really angry, Long Xing thought to himself, this kid is probably going to die.

He was about to plead for Chen Xian, but was stopped by the furious emperor.

"General Long, I know you value talent, but only those who are honest and trustworthy are talented, while those who are opportunistic are just useless people who are just trying to be clever."

Long Xing glanced at Chen Xian, shook his head helplessly and stepped aside.

When Prince Kang saw the emperor angrily scolding Chen Xian, he was overjoyed.

The dark-bearded man bowed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Tianqing, is wise and will surely give me justice."

……

Chen Xian watched all this quietly, without any sign of panic.

Seeing that he was still so unscrupulous, the emperor became even angrier.

"If you have nothing to say, even if the princess likes you, I will kill you. Guards, take him to the Sky Prison."

"Stop, Uncle Emperor, this young man has done something wrong, you need to arrest him."

Long Qingqing shook her little fangs and glared at the old emperor.

"You are also an alchemist. Tell me, can one hundred kilograms of medium-quality raw iron ore produce more than fifty kilograms of raw iron?"

Long Qingqing shook her head and said stubbornly.

"Just because we can't refine it doesn't mean he can't. I believe in him."

"Because he just taught me a trick, I got an S score in the smelting test. Is there any need to cheat with such ability?"

Master Kemi understood what Long Qingqing said.

But what kind of trick could allow this little alchemist, whose grades usually only reach A, to get an S all of a sudden?

The S score is not only awarded after meeting the assessment requirements, but also surpassing the union's existing record in this project. Over the past few hundred years, there have been only a handful of people who have received an S score, and each S score recipient is a godfather-level figure in their respective fields.

"Your Majesty, although Qing'er is a little willful, I know her level. She can get an S score with just one trick. This person is definitely capable. Your Majesty, please investigate further to avoid missing out on a good talent."

Master Kemi was also there to plead for Chen Xian.

"Master Kemi, what you said is wrong. If cheating is considered a talent, then our Tianqing Empire will be ridiculed by others. Maybe cousin Qing'er was also deceived by him."

Chen Yuewu immediately retorted.

When Master Kemi saw Prince Kang's rebuttal, he just snorted and said nothing more.

"Ha ha……"

Chen Xian burst out laughing.

"You said I cheated, but I want to ask you something."

"This stove belongs to the general's mansion, right?"

"This ore was also provided by the General's Mansion."

"Are you saying that General Long is helping me cheat?"

Long Xing became furious when he heard this.

"Boy, I, Long Xing, have lived an upright life. How could I help you cheat?"

After saying that, he raised his fist and was about to teach Chen Xian a lesson.

Chen Xian saluted quickly.

"General Long, calm down. I just want to remind you that I didn't prepare the tools and materials myself, and I refined them under the supervision of you and His Majesty the Emperor. How could I cheat under your watchful eyes? If you don't believe me, I can refine it again and I can also refine 50 kilograms of raw iron."

"Really?" General Long put away his fist and asked in surprise.

"It's absolutely true, but my time can't be counted this time, and as long as I can refine it again, the previous competition will still be valid. You are not allowed to cheat on the bet."

The emperor was present, so Long Xing could not make a decision and could only look to the emperor.

At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor regained his composure. Seeing Chen Xian so calm, hope was rekindled in his heart.

"As long as you can refine it again, the reward I promised you before will still be valid. In addition, I will also grant you the mining rights for the array stone mine that you requested."

This is what Chen Xian was waiting for, to prevent the old emperor from using the mining rights to embarrass him later.

"Okay, but my refining method is top secret. If it is leaked, it will be a loss to the empire. I demand that these two people be removed."

Chen Xian pointed at Chen Yuewu and the man with a dark beard.

"Your Majesty, he is trying to cheat again by hiding from my nephew. I refuse."

The emperor glared at Prince Kang who was still protesting.

"You guys go out first. With me, General Long, and Master Kemi here, there's no way he can cheat."

After watching the guards take the two men out, Emperor Tian Qing whispered a few words in Long Xing's ear.

Long Xing nodded slightly, with a cold light in his eyes.
