282: Chapter 232 282: Chapter 232 Jiang Tang met with Su Chang’an, and the family also arranged for Su Chang’an to accompany him throughout the entire process, mainly with the intent of leveraging Jiang Tang’s friendship and brotherhood with Su Chang’an to gain more advantages.
Just now, Clan Head Su proposed to Jiang Tang to take the honorary position as the Master of the Sword Sect’s Alchemy Hall, and Jiang Tang agreed to this request.
Su Chang’an and his cousin Su Feifei led Jiang Tang, along with eight other women and one man, to the Su Family’s Alchemy Hall.
In the Su Family’s Alchemy Hall, there were six alchemists practicing alchemy.
Lin Dandan surveyed the layout of the Su Family’s Alchemy Hall; there were fire seeds and a Spirit Gathering Array here.
Although only six alchemists were practicing alchemy, the environment here was much better than in her own family’s Alchemy Hall.
There were no waste residues everywhere, not a hint of dirt or disorder; the alchemists were very tidy, and they did not seem as disheveled as those in her own family.
Lin Dandan felt somewhat ashamed.
As one of the Top Ten Clans, perhaps it wasn’t about the lack of an alchemy legacy, as she believed that the Su Family, much like the Medicine Sect, did not possess such a legacy either.
That they could still achieve such success showed that the difference was due to human management faults.
The management environment in her own family was too poor, and they should learn from the Su Family in this regard.
When she returned, she could report this and encourage the people in her clan to make improvements.
Jiang Tang observed the six alchemists and noticed they were making Spirit Supplement Pills.
Although these were just ordinary pills and of little use to disciples in the Golden Core Stage or higher.
However, there were many young disciples in the clan, as well as some lower-ranked elders or middle-aged people—these were the shopkeepers or clerks in lower-ranked merchant shops.
The alchemists in the Alchemy Hall mostly used the Spirit Supplement Pills for practice.
From their techniques, they seemed competent, better than those of the average family clan.
Of course, it couldn’t compare to the Secret Manuals produced in his space.
After the alchemists spent some time practicing, they produced a batch of pills.
Upon opening the Alchemy Furnace, everyone saw that the furnaces contained lower-quality and middle-quality pills, with only one alchemist’s Pill Furnace producing a high-grade pill.
Su Feifei, who previously seldom entered this place, came in now; anyhow, as the clan’s daughter, she didn’t concern herself with the clan’s business.
Clan heirs and heiresses never worried about pills, as the elders made sure they focused solely on their cultivation.
Su Feifei had once tried looking into alchemy or Artifact Refining Secret Manuals in the Scripture Pavilion, reasoning that learning more couldn’t hurt.
Yet, she might not have had the patience for alchemy or artifact refining; although she read about it, she never practiced.
Knowledge in these areas without practice was useless.
It was only after meeting Jiang Tang that she realized having resources and not learning was a waste, and being in a better environment than ordinary folks, she should strive to learn more skills.
Always relying on others wasn’t right; innate talent was her own.
Seeing Hua Xian’er able to perform alchemy and able to share common interests with Jiang Tang made her envious and drove her to want to learn alchemy afresh.
With this thought in mind, after witnessing Jiang Tang’s alchemy instruction several times, she secretly memorized his methods.
She thought about secretly practicing in seclusion when she had the time.
Wouldn’t it be a surprise to everyone if she, who didn’t know alchemy, suddenly could produce high-quality pills?
Haha!
“Jiang Tang, do you think their alchemy techniques are wrong?
Should you correct them, or would you prefer to teach them yourself?”
Su Chang’an hadn’t thought as much as Su Feifei.
Each person had their own talents, and he didn’t wish to learn the art of alchemy but rather focused on improving his swordsmanship.
Ever since advancing to the Ocean Wheel stage, he felt that the clan’s swordsmanship was no longer sufficient for his current level of cultivation.
Some advanced Sword Manuals in the clan had been slowly lost over ten thousand years.
Clan members above the Ocean Wheel stage couldn’t find suitable swordsmanship for themselves and had to make do with the spells and sword techniques they learned at lower levels of cultivation.
“Logically speaking, the pills crafted by the alchemists here are fine, although just commonplace and of lower grade.
There’s nothing wrong with their technique, it’s just that they lack advanced alchemy methods.
Brother, if you trust me, I could teach them a set of techniques that could improve their skills?”
The alchemists, after producing a batch of pills, turned their attention to the newcomers.
Seeing the young master and the young lady, they paid their respects and then stood up attentively to listen to the instruction.
Hearing this foreign young man speak so arrogantly about their alchemy being so ordinary and then offering to teach them, if it weren’t for the young master’s request, and his words, they would certainly have objected.
Their expressions showed disbelief that this young man could possibly know a superior alchemy technique and be so willing to teach it to them.
As alchemists, unless it was a family member or disciple, who wouldn’t keep their techniques secret?
Who would teach their precious techniques to others?
There were countless cases of apprentices stealing the alchemy techniques and leaving their masters bereft.
They didn’t believe this man truly had such a strong alchemy technique or that he would teach it so freely.
“Did you hear that?
This Jiang Tang before you is my sworn brother, an exceptional alchemist.
It is an honor for him to teach you alchemy, do you understand?
You must seize this opportunity to elevate your alchemy skills, and learn well the knowledge and expertise my brother offers, to grow stronger.”
