27: Appreciated by Liu Ji'an?

Yuxu Academy. Menial Service Yard.

Because it was a morning off, Mo Fan was absent from today's training course.

He did not care about this.

Because he had read the training materials and felt it didn't matter whether he listened or not.

In fact, he had already finished reading the entire set of distributed materials a few days ago, and he could recite them backwards, or even master them thoroughly.

Although the Mo Fan of the past had a good memory, he couldn't achieve photographic memory.

This symptom appeared after he absorbed the pendant.

Mo Fan suspected that he had been significantly strengthened in various aspects, or at least some aspects, by the pendant.

Having finished studying the training materials, listening to Liu Jian's lectures was undoubtedly torture for him.

It was like having already memorized the multiplication table, but the teacher was still teaching you problems as simple as one plus one equals two.

It was simply unbearable!

Therefore, whenever training time arrived, Mo Fan was so bored he wanted to lie down and play dead on the spot.

"It's so great that there's no training class today—" Mo Fan thought happily as he walked into the Spirit Herb Garden.

However, just at that moment, Liu Jian walked over abruptly and said expressionlessly.

"Mo Fan, come with me." After speaking, Liu Jian turned and left.

Mo Fan: "?"

What happened?

Why did he have a bad premonition?

At the same time, Xu Jing happened to arrive, panting: "Mo, Mo Fan, Steward Liu said he wanted to give you make-up lessons this morning, he forgot to tell you..."

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan was instantly struck as if by lightning; he looked up at the sky, tears streaming down his face, and froze in place with a pained expression.

What a sin— he stomped his foot.

"What's going on? Why aren't you coming over yet? I have other things to handle later." Seeing Mo Fan wasn't moving, Liu Jian paused, turned around, and said with an unhappy face.

"Coming!" Mo Fan hurriedly followed.

"What were you thinking about just now?" Liu Jian asked suspiciously.

"I was just thinking about the knowledge points you taught us two days ago! It's too difficult! I just can't figure it out no matter what!" Mo Fan said with a pained expression.

Seeing this, Liu Jian was stunned and couldn't help but be moved; he kindly patted Mo Fan's shoulder and said: "It's fine, in the future, if you have any questions, just ask me directly. Don't waste time trying to figure it out by yourself."

Mo Fan: "???"

What is the situation with this old man?

Not only is he giving him make-up lessons for no reason, but he also wants to tutor him alone and give him special treatment?

Mo Fan was dumbfounded and inexplicably a little scared.

Seeing this, Liu Jian shook his head and explained: "Among these people, you have the best Comprehension Ability and have the hope of becoming a true Alchemist in the future. It is only reasonable for me to take extra care of you."

Hearing this, Mo Fan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed Liu Jian's pace.

However, he... seemed to be appreciated by Liu Jian?

In this way, if he wanted to pursue the path of Alchemy in the future, did it mean he had an extra path?

Thinking of this, Mo Fan suddenly felt refreshed and full of energy.

What if he acted more like a Genius?

Would he be taken in as a Disciple by this guy?

If that were the case, wouldn't he be able to be promoted from a Utility Disciple to an Inner Sect Disciple in one go?

Thinking of this, Mo Fan became somewhat happy.

He felt it was worth a try!

But this matter could not be rushed.

It had to be taken slowly.

The training would last for half a year.

Currently, the lectures were all basic courses such as identifying Spirit Medicine and familiarizing oneself with the habits of Spirit Medicine.

The purpose was to allow these people to better weed, fertilize, and water the Spirit Medicine during their work.

From only being able to look after the lowest-grade Spirit Medicine, to slowly evolving to be able to look after higher-grade Spirit Medicine.

High-grade Spirit Medicine was basically planted separately.

Besides this, to ensure the Spirit Medicine could grow normally, it was also necessary to use technology and Magic Arrays to simulate the most suitable environment for the Spirit Medicine to grow.

Overall, Spirit Medicine study was actually a very complex discipline.

Of course, as far as what Mo Fan was currently learning, there was no technical difficulty; a slightly better memory was enough.

At this time, no matter how outstanding he performed, it wouldn't be enough to make an Inner Sect Steward of the Transcendence Realm take him in as a Disciple directly.

Mo Fan estimated that to truly catch Liu Jian's eye, he would have to wait at least until the second or even third stage of training.

Only then would it involve some theoretical knowledge regarding the Dao of Alchemy, which was the real test of talent.

While pondering, Mo Fan slowly walked away with Liu Jian.

At the same time, the other colleagues were all green with envy and extremely jealous.

"So sour, when will I be as excellent as Big Brother Mo Fan?"

"Yeah, it's only been half a month, and he's already being looked at differently by Steward Liu to the point of receiving individual make-up lessons..."

"Do you guys think Big Brother Mo Fan is Steward Liu's illegitimate son? This is too outrageous..."

"Damn! You can't say that randomly! If Steward Liu hears it! Be careful of getting beaten to death!"

"Exactly, stop talking nonsense. Can't you see it? Every time Steward Liu calls names to ask questions, us useless people are all stuttering and can't answer."

"Only Big Brother Mo Fan can give the complete correct answer every time he's called, without any hesitation!"

"Yeah, yeah, I noticed it too. Mo Fan is so excellent; if I were Steward Liu, I would also give him special treatment!" The one who said this was Xu Jing, speaking very quickly and loudly.

When she was nervous, she didn't stutter.

Of course, her pretty face turned red, and she lowered her head to play the ostrich.

But as soon as Xu Jing said this, everyone was stunned and nodded involuntarily.

"I have to say, Big Brother Mo Fan is indeed excellent; he is the one among us most likely to become an Alchemist—"

... Lectures + self-study.

Mo Fan felt as if he had spent a long lifetime.

As soon as the time was up, he rushed out of the training room and sprinted towards the cafeteria.

The setting sun went down, and Sunset Glow Peak glowed red. The rosy clouds stretched for thousands of miles, and the entire Yuxu Academy seemed to be dyed red by the sunset glow.

"Sunset Glow Peak today is just too beautiful, right?" Coming out of the cafeteria after eating, Mo Fan couldn't help but exclaim.

If mobile phones in this era could take pictures, there would definitely be a bunch of people snapping away at the horizon right now.

It was too beautiful, just like a fairyland on earth.

"Yeah, it's, it's so beautiful..." Xu Jing stared blankly at the horizon, filled with joy, her bright eyes reflecting the red clouds in the sky.

After watching for a while, the red glow began to disperse, and the people standing by to watch gradually decreased.

"The sunset glow is starting to dim, it's going to get dark soon, let's go back." Mo Fan smiled and said.

"Yeah, okay." Xu Jing withdrew her gaze and hurriedly followed Mo Fan's pace.

As neighbors, the two often went to work and left together, ate together, and slowly became familiar with each other.

Xu Jing could be considered Mo Fan's first friend at Yuxu Academy.

While walking, Mo Fan seemed to think of something and asked curiously: "Why haven't I seen you go to the Scripture Hall to practice sword lately?"

"I, I learned it..." Xu Jing said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Mo Fan was stunned and asked somewhat uncertainly: "The Shadow Severing Sword Art you chose seems to be a five-star difficulty Martial Skill, right?"

Mo Fan remembered that the Shadow Severing Sword Art Xu Jing chose was only a sliver less than the Vajra Fist he chose; it was a Martial Skill with a five-star difficulty coefficient and four-and-a-half-star power.

A five-star difficulty Sword Art.

It would be normal to practice for a year or two just to get started.

This girl actually learned it so quickly?

Could she be a Genius in the Dao of the Sword?
