Chapter 50 Standards for Judging a Person
The others were somewhat convinced; they all came from prominent families and could get whatever they wanted simply by asking.
Unlike Lu Jie, who had no power or background, his magical cultivation level was enough to utterly crush these aristocratic scions.
Of course, Mo Fan counts too.
"They're all eating." Just then, a kind voice came from behind.
Everyone looked up and saw that it was Dean Xiao.
"Hello, Dean Xiao," everyone greeted in unison.
"Good, good, good. Seeing that you are all safe and sound here for your gathering, this old man can finally rest easy," Dean Xiao said.
"You guys continue your gathering. I just came to check on you. No need to see me off."
With a wave of his hand, Dean Xiao left.
After Dean Xiao left, everyone ended the gathering; they were going into seclusion.
Lu Jie, who is the same age as them, has already surpassed them by so much. If they don't work harder, they'll probably be left far behind.
Back in his apartment, Lu Jie went into his room and was about to begin his cultivation when that familiar voice rang out again.
[Ding! Host has checked in. Congratulations on obtaining the Ancient Alchemy Technique.] (From the Fairy Tale World)
???
Ancient alchemy?
Lu Jie was puzzled. What world did this alchemy come from? And why was it prefixed with the words "ancient"?
After silently reciting "receive," Lu Jie's mind was filled with information about ancient alchemy.
After figuring it out, Lu Jie's face lit up with ecstasy. It turned out to be the ancient alchemy technique mentioned in the movie "GG Bond: Transformation Little Hero"!
Everyone knows that the Five Spirit Kings were ancient kings in the fairy tale world, but they were sealed by the Five Spirit Locks on the wrists of human magicians. The Five Spirit Locks are a product of ancient alchemy.
(If there's dark alchemy, then there must be an ancient alchemy, right?)
In any case, with this thing, I'll be a walking wholesaler of magical tools and artifacts. Wherever magical tools are needed, I can manufacture them, and then I'll be making a fortune. This advantage is in my hands.
Not to mention that he also possesses the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, a unique flame, giving him complete control over forging materials.
With a satisfied feeling, Lu Jie resumed his tedious cultivation, which he had now replaced sleeping with.
The next day, Lu Jie's phone beeped with a message from the school secretariat, saying that Dean Xiao wanted to see him and asked him to go to the office immediately.
After a quick wash, Lu Jie went to Dean Xiao's office.
"Dean, you wanted to see me?" Pushing open the door, one could see Dean Xiao and Zhou Zhenghua inside.
When Dean Xiao saw Lu Jie arrive, he smiled and gestured for Lu Jie to sit down.
"This trial was also due to our oversight. We didn't expect that there would still be people with a heart that wouldn't give up in this demon-related experiment," Dean Xiao said.
He knew about the Demonology Department, but he didn't expect that there would still be people secretly working on it, even though it was not recognized by the Magic Associations of the Five Continents.
Fortunately, the students in my school are lucky and have survived, otherwise they would have fallen victim to the evil forces.
"We guess we were lucky," Lu Jie said, changing the subject.
Upon hearing this, Dean Xiao chuckled and said, "That's true. There's nothing wrong with calling you here this time. If you have any questions about cultivation in the future, feel free to ask me."
Lu Jie nodded, chatted for a few minutes about cultivation, and then took his leave.
Zhou Zhenghua stood before the French windows, looking down at Lu Jie's figure, and couldn't help but remark, "This kid has quite a few secrets!"
He knew Lu Nian. As a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, he had fought against demons and monsters for many years. His combat experience and strength were many times greater than that of a novice student, yet he still fell into the hands of Lu Jie.
If no one had seen Lu Nian and the others' bodies with their own eyes, they would have suspected that some passing high-level mage had killed them.
All things considered, Lu Jie has only been awakening his magic for a few years.
At the same time and stage, those scions of aristocratic families were not as good as Lu Jie.
Lu Jie had already become a high-level mage and even had the means to kill veteran high-level mages.
This is no longer a matter of strong talent.
Lu Jie: Hehe, I've cheated.
Dean Xiao stood up, walked to Zhou Zhenghua's side, and said to him, "These days, who doesn't have a few secrets?"
"I'm not afraid that this kid has secrets, but I'm afraid that he won't be able to resist temptation and will go astray," Zhou Zhenghua said with some concern.
Dean Xiao was clearly not worried about this issue, and simply continued, "This child won't do that."
Zhou Zhenghua hadn't expected Dean Xiao to trust Lu Jie so much, and couldn't help but ask, "You think so highly of him?"
Since its founding, Mingzhu Academy has produced many talented students, but as far as he knows, some have succumbed to certain temptations, gone astray, and caused harm to the community.
Especially for someone like Lu Jie, whose mind is not yet fully mature, there is no guarantee that he won't succumb to some temptation and go astray.
Dean Xiao smiled without answering Zhou Zhenghua's question directly, but said, "This child possesses an extraordinary character. To judge a person's character, don't look at what they say, but at what they do."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhenghua seemed to be deep in thought.
Back at his apartment, Lu Jie immediately went to his room and began studying the ancient alchemy technique he had obtained the day before. He needed to digest the knowledge contained within it.
Furthermore, he found the methods for making magical tools and artifacts circulating in the market from the school library. Although they were only low-level, he believed that as long as they were modified by ancient alchemy, even the low-level ones could be transformed into high-level ones.
Before we knew it, several months had quietly passed.
The lush green leaves have been replaced by withered yellow, and the sweltering summer scene has been replaced by the bleak autumn wind.
Lu Jie worked like crazy for months, mastering a portion of the knowledge of ancient alchemy, all of which were suitable for his current use.
Moreover, during this period, he also upgraded his light element to a higher level. With the Golden Light Mantra, he had more control over light.
Mo Fan had somehow gone to Hangzhou to spend time with Ye Xinxia.
however……
Ring ring~
The phone rang, and Lu Jie took out his phone to see that it was Mo Fan calling.
Sure enough, speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
"So, what do you want by calling me?" Lu Jie asked.
"Help...help me, Lao Lu, there's a snake, a really big snake!" Mo Fan's panicked voice came through the phone.
Lu Jie frowned slightly. Was this the Xuan Snake storyline?
"Send me your location, I'll be right there." With that, Lu Jie hung up the phone, immediately bought a high-speed rail ticket to Hangzhou, packed his things quickly, and set off.
