Chapter 21: Geniuses Have to Maintain Mystery

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was getting late outside. Looking at the confident smile on Lan Yu’s chubby face, Fang Xuan could not help but be interested.

“It’s so mysterious. What’s the use of this medicine?”

“Hehe, this thing can allow your subdued beast to have the ability to fly for a minute. The price is that it will overdraft your subdued beast’s stamina for five minutes. Although it’s also a low-level medicinal pill, it has a miraculous effect at critical moments.”

Fang Xuan raised his eyebrows. Although this effect was still a little useless compared to ordinary pills, it could be considered top-notch compared to the medicine that Lan Yu had refined previously.

He did not refuse. After all, this kid had collected a lot of ingredients from him. Although most of them had turned into medicinal dregs, he was naturally qualified to accept them.

Lan Yu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Fang Xuan put the jade bottle and the pill into his storage ring. Then, he started to pull out some other things.

“In the future, Brother Fang will be in charge of hunting, and I will be in charge of developing potions. The two of us will be invincible together.”

“Eh, speaking of which…”

He turned over and sat up, his eyes flickering.

“Have you heard? Our academy has produced a genius. I heard that not only did he set the hundred-year record for the Blazing Mountain and the Thunder Forest at the same time, but he also made the Boss of the Thunder Forest disappear into thin air. However, this person is quite low-key and has always been anonymous. There are already rumors that the academy has sent two teachers to search for this mysterious genius. I really want to meet him.”

Fang Xuan’s heart skipped a beat. No way, I’m just a small fry. I don’t think the teachers need to go through so much trouble… “Then, did they find any clues?”

Lan Yu sat back down on the bed. “Not yet. The school only speculated that he’s a super genius with S-level talent, but it seems that no one in the school has matched him yet.”

“However, the person who broke the record in the Thunder Forest was that annoying Shen Yuechao. This guy must be wearing a dark expression now.”

Hearing this, Fang Xuan was slightly relieved.

Fortunately, he had hidden himself well. The guild had not revealed any news about him. He would let these guys find him. If his true identity was exposed, who knew how much trouble he would cause.

However, it was not bad to be able to break the record of that arrogant young master of the Shen family. It seemed that this guy was not strong.

“However, Fang Xuan, didn’t you also complete a fire-type mission? There’s a high chance that you were also teleported to the Flame Mountain, right?”

Fang Xuan immediately became vigilant and vaguely agreed.

“Then did you see that mysterious genius? You should have done the mission at the same time, right?”

The former laughed foolishly. “This, it’s just the simplest one-star mission assigned to me. I didn’t even see any Flame Commander along the way. How could I have the chance to encounter such an existence?”

Lan Yu didn’t feel that something was wrong and nodded thoughtfully.

“Don’t be afraid. Although it’s a little difficult for you to challenge a five-star mission now, when my official path of alchemy begins, it will be time for you, Fang Xuan, to defy the heavens and change your fate!”

He seemed to be excited again, and his eyes were as bright as two stars.

“Do you know that there’s a potion that can increase the resistance of all attributes?”

Fang Xuan scratched his head. He seemed to have some impression of this potion, but he could not remember its name.

Lan Yu didn’t wait for him to answer and immediately continued, “I’m completely confident that I can refine this potion, but making this potion requires materials with extremely high resistance. In other words, all the five attributes of the insect skin are gathered.”

Then, his eyes suddenly dimmed.

“However, the Thunder Worm Skin can only be obtained from the boss of a Thunder Mission. Even the boss of the Thunder Forest managed by the school is nowhere to be found…”

He didn’t say anything else, but the question he wanted to express was already in front of the two of them.

“Now, how many insect skins have you collected?”

Fang Xuan still asked. After all, he was the main culprit who kidnapped the Lightning Bug King. He still had to help his good brother.

“Including the fire attribute insect skin you gave me just now, there are a total of two attributes, fire and earth. I’m still short of three, but I don’t know where to get the lightning attribute insect skin.” Lan Yu’s mouth was obviously dispirited.

Fang Xuan pondered for a moment before accepting the task.

“Lan Yu, leave this to me. I’ll get the thunder worm skin.”

Lan Yu turned over. His dispirited aura disappeared and was replaced by a complicated expression.

“Y-you have a way?”

The former nodded confidently. “That’s right. It’s not like only the school has thunder-element missions to accept. There are also places outside the school.”

Schools, the entire Empire, and even some high-level domains of the entire continent could be chosen. It was just that the academy’s leveling locations were uneven. One only needed to accept missions as a mercenary to go elsewhere to carry out missions.

However, at the same time, mercenaries who had already entered society could not enter the leveling area of other schools without permission. This was also one of the benefits of the academy.

There wasn’t much difference between the academy and the leveling fields outside. It was just that there weren’t many people, and there wasn’t much queuing time, so there were more resources than in other places. Moreover, most of the students in the academy were low-tier beastmasters, and they were more concentrated when choosing their areas, so they could make good use of their resources.

Therefore, the method Fang Xuan thought of was to not accept missions as a school and instead use his identity as a mercenary.

However, even if he chose a personal identity, the new record would be recorded on the school interface. After all, some records might not be broken in a thousand years or a hundred years. Naturally, it had to be more grand.

Lan Yu, who didn’t expect to hear this, widened her eyes. “Fang Xuan, you, you’re not joking, right?”

He looked at Fang Xuan as if he was looking at a monster.

Fang Xuan scratched his head, not understanding what Lan Yu meant.

Looking at the former’s reaction, Lan Yu finally came to a conclusion—this kid definitely didn’t listen well in class.

“Forget it, forget it. I wonder if these were taught in class.”

Lan Yu’s face was solemn as he used the moonlight to tell Fang Xuan about the distribution of attributes in the entire continent.

“In our Canglan Empire, the water and wind attributes are more active overall. Relatively speaking, the distribution of lightning and fire attribute molecules is less. Therefore, there are fewer divisions of lightning and fire in our country than in other areas.”

“This is also why our school doesn’t have a single Fire Attribute Domain. There aren’t many of them in the entire Empire. Of course, the guild has to consider it carefully. To put it bluntly, those guys are stingy and stingy.”

Fang Xuan slowly became serious. He knew nothing about these things. This was something he had never been involved in before.
