Chapter 378 - 288: Modern Alchemy Method (Part 2)
[Ability: Super Smell (Level 5)]
Lin Lang glanced at her information.
And this woman confidently met Lin Lang’s gaze, exuding a powerful aura!
Of course!
She had every reason to be confident!
After all!
She was a top graduate from a prestigious medical university!
During her time at school, whether it was complex medical theories or cutting-edge research topics, she handled them with ease and was recognized as a medical genius by teachers and classmates alike!
The Special Agent Bureau had put in considerable effort and expense to recruit her for elixir research, not only offering a lucrative package but also promising numerous research resources.
At this moment!
She stood in place, arms crossed, sizing up Lin Lang from head to toe.
She was entirely convinced that this youthful-looking guy had no real skills!
He was just here spewing nonsense and disrupting everyone’s work.
"Mr. Lin! I wonder which medical classic records what you just said? What scientific basis is there for it?"
"Forgive my ignorance, but I’d like to seek Mr. Lin’s advice!"
She took a step forward, intent on embarrassing Lin Lang!
Then, with a sharp voice, she started indirectly testing Lin Lang’s professional pharmacological knowledge!
In her words!
Those professional terms came one after another like a barrage, spoken at a rapid pace!
Things like "the mechanism of transformation of properties and cooking degree in Chinese herbal medicine" and "the influence of dosage ratios of the monarch, minister, assistant, and envoy in formula compatibility on efficacy"...
It was as if she intended to drown Lin Lang in a sea of professional knowledge.
After each question, she slightly raised her chin, her eyes full of challenge.
Elder Liu, seeing this scenario, slightly changed his originally kind expression, his brows furrowing instantly with deep lines forming on his forehead.
He was quite angry at Wu Dan’s rude behavior, his lips moving slightly as if he wanted to say something!
But considering Wu Dan’s special status, her importance in the bureau, and the strong research team backing her!
Elder Liu suppressed his anger, gently clenched his teeth, and ultimately swallowed the words back, standing aside with a helpless expression.
Though Lin Lang hadn’t systematically studied Chinese medicine!
At the moment Wu Dan posed those questions, the Law of Wisdom seemed to be activated by a mysterious power, rapidly operating in his mind.
Those complex and obscure pharmacological concepts were quickly comprehended as if organized by an invisible hand.
However, he had reached a realm of understanding—
Having seen all kinds of people and experienced countless events, knowing well that debating with others was but a waste of words, true strength will ultimately prove itself.
Thus, Lin Lang calmly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over Wu Dan with serenity.
He spoke in a steady voice:
"Take the Qi Replenishing Pill you’re crafting as an example! If using the Alchemy Furnace to refine, adding ginseng and other blood-boosting herbs, raising the temperature of the Pill Fire, and injecting Spiritual Qi at the critical Nascent Core stage, the effects would be immediate."
Having said that, he didn’t care whether the others were surprised, disdainful, or bewildered, he tapped his foot lightly and turned to leave directly.
...
Those present whispered to each other, discussing whether Lin Lang’s words were reliable.
While some still looked at him with disdain, smirking with sarcasm, thinking Lin Lang had fled in defeat.
Wu Dan even pursed her lips, snorted lightly from her nose, and muttered quietly:
"Pretentious."
Old Liu, seeing this, became anxious, walking quickly to catch up, wiping the sweat that had appeared on his forehead out of worry as he walked.
Catching up beside Lin Lang, he apologized with a regretful expression:
"Mr. Lin, I’m truly sorry, these people are too arrogant and never reflect. If they were truly skilled, how could they repeatedly fail in alchemy? Please don’t take it to heart."
Lin Lang wore a gentle smile, gazing into the distance, and said slowly:
"It’s alright, I don’t mind these things. However, the Alchemy Dao is vast and profound, many things indeed cannot be replaced by others, and you need to explore them yourselves. Some experiences can only be truly understood through personal encounters."
After speaking, he cupped his hands slightly to Elder Liu and left.
Elder Liu watched Lin Lang’s departing figure, opening his mouth as if wanting to say something to retain him, but ultimately he didn’t speak, only sighing helplessly, filled with regret.
He knew deeply!
This might have been a missed chance for the Alchemy Department to achieve a major breakthrough!
...
Elder Liu returned to the Alchemy Area with a stomach full of anger, his face instantly turning grim upon seeing the staff, his usual amicable demeanor vanished without a trace.
He coughed heavily, drawing everyone’s attention, then suddenly raised his voice and started scolding everyone:
"Do you even know what you have done? We finally managed to invite an Alchemy Master; this was such a rare opportunity! He came all the way to help us, yet you all, lacking respect and manners, drove him away!"
As he spoke, he pointed at the crowd with his fingers, his expression somewhat twisted with anger.
Wu Dan stood in the crowd, shrugging slightly at Elder Liu’s scolding, her face still bearing an indifferent expression.
She pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose, muttering softly:
"Is it worth getting so mad, I think he’s just a fraud."
Though her voice was low, in the now-silent space, it was still heard by many.
