Chapter 801: Attempt at Potion Transformation Using the Demon Transformation Transmutation Technique
“What a hassle it has been all night~”
Coming out of the Academy Head’s office, the sunrise had just barely peeked over the horizon.
“Little Han really knows how to say things that can be misinterpreted so easily.”
“Sister Bai, why are you teasing me at this time?” I said helplessly.
“Is it not allowed?”
“Of course it is~”
“Then it’s fine, right? Let’s change the topic. Has Little Han decided what to eat? We should have something for breakfast.”
“Let’s go to the cafeteria, just eat something casually. It seems we haven’t been there for a long time.” I suggested.
“So which cafeteria should we go to? Or should we just… be casual?”
“Of course, just casual~” I chuckled lightly.
There are several cafeterias in the core teaching area, all marked with numbers and located in various directions.
Basically, they are along the main road leading to the teaching buildings, very suitable for students to go to the cafeteria for breakfast and then head straight to class.
It’s a bit embarrassing to admit, but I haven’t explored all these cafeterias.
However, it doesn’t really matter where we go with Sister Bai accompanying me.
So we chatted casually and eventually arrived at the first cafeteria.
The dishes offered at the first cafeteria… if I had to describe them, they seem very formal and generally do not lean towards any particular preference.
I’ve heard that the higher the number of the cafeteria, the more extravagant the dishes, and rumors say they might even exceed what an ordinary person could consume.
Of course, I’ve witnessed this firsthand; for instance, the stimulating dishes used for extraordinary taste training belong to the category of typical dark cuisine.
But today, we are not here to taste such self-inflicted hardships.
After experiencing so much outside the academy, all we want is something light, especially since it’s breakfast!
Of course… mainly because I’ve had a lot of delicious food during this trip, and now I need a change of taste.
The breakfast at the cafeteria ranged from dry bread with butter to lavish dim sum dishes.
In the end, we merely picked a few things we liked and settled at a corner table.
“Is this all you’re eating, Little Han?”
“Hmm~ I took a few that I thought would be delicious.” I picked up a soft little bun and gently tore it open, releasing a strong milky aroma. I took a small lick—it’s not overly sweet.
“Want to try?” I offered half of it to her.
“Then let’s see how your taste is, Little Han.” Instead of using her hand, Sister Bai leaned over and took a bite.
“Hmm~ It’s not very sweet, yet has a strong milky flavor.” Sister Bai commented.
“Not very sweet, but that’s the highest praise for a dessert!”
“Really?”
“Of course~ I think that overly sweet things can become cloying.” I stuffed the remaining half into my mouth, relishing the milky taste lingering in my mouth.
“So that’s how you think, Little Han.”
“Uh-huh~ Of course… wait, did you misinterpret my words? I was just referring to desserts! Don’t take it the wrong way!”
“Does it really matter? In fact, I also agree with this viewpoint; you might just be too sensitive.”
“Eh~ As expected of Sister Bai, you easily say things that can lead to misunderstandings!”
“Have you remembered that sentence until now?” Sister Bai only then reacted to what I said, looking both amused and helpless.
“I remember everything! Hmph~” I said proudly, “Never mind, let’s stop discussing these useless topics, once we finish this breakfast, we should return to our routine, right? Does Sister Bai have any plans? Or are we going back to those fixed classes?”
“Yeah~ Fixed classes, I’m still teaching body cultivation content, just like before.” Sister Bai said leisurely, as if she were already living a retirement life.
“Didn’t you say you’d teach those demon body cultivation methods and physical transformation techniques? Or did your application not go through?”
“Little Han, you must have forgotten the prerequisites for teaching those techniques, right? Even physical transformation techniques need to establish a connection with the magic source, and that connection is not just a simple matter of mental power interference.”
“Hmm… I think you’re right…” I recalled that extraordinary witches inherently possess self-generated magic, and their relationship with the magic source does not require the Demon Transformation Transmutation Technique, but for teaching… it would require this method to help students step over the threshold.
“So… how did those witches teaching physical transformation techniques resolve it?” I didn’t remember them coming to ask me.
“They came to me for help. Though I don’t have the spellbook for the Demon Transformation Transmutation Technique, you taught me the structure of this spell, which uses the initial version of the Transmutation Technique, with a magic source resonance limit of one hundred.” Sister Bai explained, “Little Han, is it alright for me to help others with this?”
“Of course it’s fine.” I shook my head to show that it was no problem.
I had initially planned to promote self-generated magic, so even if a perfected version of the Demon Transformation Transmutation Technique with a limit of ten thousand magic sources spreads out, it wouldn’t matter.
Not to mention we only have one successful case with Tan Han so far, plus those three ceremonies—these are all unshakeable thresholds for generating self-generated magic.
“Sister Bai, I was planning to spread this anyway, so let’s find an opportunity for you to learn the latest version of the Transmutation Technique? The latest version has a resonance limit that has already exceeded ten thousand; if possible, I would also like it to be disseminated.”
“Will that… be alright? Well, I understand.” Sister Bai was going to hesitantly ask, but quickly realized that this special Transmutation Technique is the entry threshold for the Demon Body Cultivation Method, which relates to many important things, but ultimately it is just the beginning.
Without it, physical transformation techniques cannot be promoted, and neither can self-generated magic.
Never underestimate the enthusiasm of the masses; indeed, people with insight absolutely won’t miss such opportunities, but the majority, unless necessary, will not seek trouble for themselves.
Who wouldn’t want to be a laid-back person?
After finishing this meal, Sister Bai and I prepared to each get busy with our respective tasks.
Sister Bai was ready to formally apply for the course arrangement for the Demon Body Cultivation Method, and also discuss the promotion of the Demon Body Cultivation Method with her body cultivation sisters.
After all, they have invested quite a bit of energy into the physical transformation techniques, and no one wants it to end in such a dismal manner.
They also hope the body cultivation courses can shine brightly within the Witch Academy.
As for the knowledge of the new version of the Transmutation Technique, I will pass it on directly through the Great Knowledge Tree after sorting it out; it won’t take me long.
As for me, I have other arrangements.
After finishing Aipuli’s promotion to extraordinary status, I also need to visibly get to work.
First is the inspiration for perfecting two ceremonies.
The first is the shaping ceremony, which requires Yi Rui and the others to collaborate with me for research. I have a hunch that if the shaping ceremony is perfected, it will greatly promote their understanding of the construction ceremony.
Then there’s the perfecting of the ceremony, which requires Tan Han to collaborate with me for experimentation.
During the days lost, I originally thought of giving Tan Han a new ceremony for constant testing, but plans changed and I plan to have it all done in one go with Tan Han’s body after understanding the operation mechanism of self-generated magic.
Moreover… I need to contact Millien.
To exchange information, which is the purpose of my trip to Monopeng City.
I believe this sudden inspiration truly holds significance, and I also trust that there are many more individuals like Aipuli within the Witch Academy.
The turmoil in Monopeng City will quickly spark discussions outside, and although the Witch Academy is isolated from the outside world, they are not completely unaware; they are also quite concerned about what happens outside.
After all, it’s a topic of conversation for the students during their meals~ If they don’t talk about this, they can only discuss trivial matters among girls or engage in small competitions; otherwise, they can’t just talk about professional knowledge, right?
So after bidding farewell to Sister Bai, I proactively contacted Millien.
Coincidentally, Millien was also about to deliver a batch of materials to the laboratory, and since she has the authority to enter and exit the laboratory, she must do it in person.
So I accompanied her directly.
On the way, I briefly recounted what had happened in the past few days.
“Are you saying that the teaching assistant who fought with Tan Han earlier… has now been promoted to an extraordinary witch?” It was evident that Millien’s point of concern seemed different from mine.
“From the outcome, it seems true, but don’t worry, Aipuli will probably only stay in the Witch Academy for a few days before leaving this main world.”
“I see, I was mainly afraid that she still remembers that battle not long ago and would cause unnecessary trouble for you, Sister Xiao Han.”
“Relax~ Even if she had the ability to stay in the Witch Academy, she wouldn’t cause me any trouble, she would even thank me.” I chuckled lightly, “But I do hope you pay attention to her transition from teaching assistant back to being an ordinary person, as well as her experiences within her family.”
“That is indeed regrettable; I still have some impressions of the Hothorn Family, but I don’t know much about the Wizard Academy’s territory. I only learned about her family through Aipuli during that previous battle.”
“Do you think there are many people like Aipuli in the Witch Academy? Those who are entangled with their families…”
“Anyone from a family would face this issue; it’s just a matter of accepting, enduring, or resisting.” Millien shook her head.
“You see this quite clearly, Millien. You’re also someone from a family, aren’t you? If I’m not mistaken… it seems to be the Beck family?” I suddenly brought this up. Speaking of this family, I also remember the teaching assistant named Wenni Beck whom I got to know in the Expanding Realm. It’s not incorrect to say it’s conflicting.
“Yes… although I’m from the family, I’m from a very distant branch! I’m just occupying the family’s name, and I don’t even have restrictions for my family’s children to apply to the Extraordinary Academy… my family is quite nice, not that melodramatic.” Millien hurriedly explained, seemingly afraid I would associate her with something negative.
“I already know all this; there’s no need for such an elaborate explanation. Since I’m willing to let you follow me, I naturally wouldn’t suspect you for no reason.”
“Thank you, Sister Xiao Han, for your understanding.”
“It’s nothing, but we strayed off-topic a bit. Let’s change the subject. What do you think would happen if anti-family sentiments were promoted within the Witch Academy?”
“Anti… anti-family?” Millien was taken aback by my abrupt topic change, but quickly reacted, “I know you don’t like families, but directly promoting that would be quite a thankless effort. Even in the Witch Academy, most of those who hold power are from families, and there’s really no need to confront them at their home ground…”
“It’s fine, I’m just asking. No need to be so tense. Instead of directly promoting anti-family views, let’s switch topics to discussing Aipuli—a teaching assistant who was treated as a discard by her family after a failed mission, returns home in disgrace, not welcomed by her family, facing difficulties in her life, and then gets promoted to extraordinary after being guided by someone. What an inspirational story!”
“Inspirational…” Millien repeated those two words, unsure where this story was inspiring.
But soon she thought of many things.
If Millien’s story were to spread, the beneficiaries would still be those teaching assistants raised by families.
This event proves that teaching assistants are not mere tools to be used by families until their value runs out—they are not useless individuals.
If families mistreat them, they could still have the potential to be promoted to extraordinary!
Once they are promoted to extraordinary, the families would completely lose control over them. If they were to return to the main world, it could instigate revenge!
Although the matter is quite convoluted, as long as there is one such individual within a family, it would be enough to make them uncomfortable.
More importantly, there is another significant figure in this story—Sister Xiao Han!
If families want to target Sister Xiao Han, they’d have to think carefully. If they target her, what if the individual she guided “happens” to be a teaching assistant nurtured by the family who gets promoted to extraordinary? They would really have no place to cry!
There’s precedent for this.
Though it’s an exaggeration to say so, it’s only natural that those who don’t know the truth will speculate endlessly, right?
Aipuli could be promoted to extraordinary because she had enough capital to do so, and not everyone holds such qualifications.
While I continued discussing the details regarding this topic with Millien, as well as how to lead the conversation in the future, we reached the laboratory.
“Hmm? Wait, it’s Sister Xiao Han! I can’t believe Millien came with Sister Xiao Han!”
As my figure appeared in the laboratory, they had already gotten used to my absence these past few days. Hearing that someone had arrived, they initially thought it was Millien bringing materials.
“Are you that surprised to see me?”
“Really~ It feels like you’re a walking buff; even if you do nothing, just by being in the lab, I can feel my IQ rising.”
“That seems a bit exaggerated?”
“Not at all!” The girl moved past me to stand next to Millien; it was clear she had come over to get something from her.
“By the way, what materials are you all looking for from Millien? I’m quite curious; apart from those extraordinary testing papers and precision measurement reagents, what else could there be?”
I was genuinely curious because those one-time-use items that require precise measurement for ordinary people are considered necessities, which I understand; however, these can generally be replaced by the Earth Vein Identification Technique.
I felt that the experiments we were conducting were somewhat more wasteful than consuming extraordinary materials.
“Oh~ It’s potion materials! Among us, some have also dealt with potion studies. Since our Demon Transformation Transmutation Technique has already reached a stage of completion, but this technique, as you said, isn’t the only path, its essence is to establish a connection between the magic source and the body. So we are trying to transcribe the Demon Transformation Transmutation Technique into a potion ceremony to see if it can replace the spellbook.”
“After all, making a spellbook takes a lot of time, and only instructors can create them. Moreover, the Transmutation Technique is constantly evolving. Since you mentioned wanting to promote self-generated magic, we should explore a more easily disseminated format!”
