"I didn't expect that the Reincarnation Pill would really allow me to be reborn."
Tang Mingyang had fallen asleep in class and suddenly regained his memories from his previous life, his head feeling a bit heavy.
In his previous life, he was a peak Sixth Realm of the Xuan Yuan World, a powerful figure. Due to the opening of one of the nine divine traces, the Netherworld of the Yellow Springs, he fortuitously obtained a legendary Reincarnation Pill in the alchemy furnace of the Nether Emperor's legacy. He was pursued and killed by those ancient immortals and was forced to swallow the Reincarnation Pill, leading to his reincarnation.
To his surprise, he successfully reincarnated.
His memories had just awakened, and he found it very difficult to adapt to this weak body, which was only at the First Level of the Postnatal Body Strengthening Realm. Fortunately, there was no danger around him. He slowly adapted to his body while organizing the somewhat chaotic memories from his two lives and carefully observing his surroundings.
This was a semi-circular classroom of about sixty square meters. Bright morning light streamed through four arched floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a soft golden glow on the thirty-odd male and female students who were fully engrossed in the lecture. Their auras were all very weak.
Suddenly, a chill swept over him, and a sharp voice rang out.
"Tang Mingyang, if you understand everything I'm teaching, then please leave my classroom. If you want to sleep, go back to your dormitory!"
Liu Xuefei glared coldly at Tang Mingyang, who had just woken up and was looking around.
She didn't want to reiterate classroom discipline. Alchemy knowledge was sacred, and she hated students who came to her class but didn't pay attention. Moreover, Tang Mingyang was a stain on her teaching, a spoiled and incompetent person. If it weren't for his status as the heir of the Tang Mansion, how could he have entered the Alchemy and Martial Academy?
Fortunately, half a year ago, he was caught drugging Princess Yu and was stripped of his noble status and expelled from the Tang Mansion. Otherwise, who knows how many innocent women would have been harmed without recourse.
Tang Mingyang looked in the direction of the sharp voice and saw Teacher Liu Xuefei on the podium, her almond eyes wide with disgust.
"Hey, she's a pretty girl."
He didn't mind and instead his eyes lit up as he admired the beauty before him.
Teacher Liu Xuefei had skin as white as snow, a stunningly beautiful face, and a cold and elegant demeanor that made her look like an ice rose. Her figure was even more alluring, and her curves were accentuated by her loose pharmacist's robe, making her even more captivating and enchanting.
"The classroom is too noisy. It's better to leave and find a quiet place to cultivate."
Martial arts were divided into three postnatal realms and three prenatal realms, with the Xuan Yuan Six Realms above them.
The three postnatal realms: Body Strengthening, Qi Cultivation, and Meridian Unblocking.
The three prenatal realms: Spirit Mansion, Essence Transformation, and Talisman Seeding.
Based on his memories from this life, he had been reborn in the Tianwu Continent, where the spiritual energy was thin, and both martial arts and alchemy were in decline. Achieving prenatal cultivation was already considered strong here.
However, in any place, strength was the foundation for survival.
Teacher Liu Xuefei's suggestion to leave the classroom aligned with his own intentions.
He calmly stood up, left his seat, and walked toward the classroom door on the left side of the podium.
The students in the classroom, who had been waiting for a show, were stunned by Tang Mingyang's unexpected action.
Teacher Liu's criticism was just a figure of speech. Did you really take it seriously and leave?
Liu Xuefei's face turned red with embarrassment as she watched Tang Mingyang walk toward the classroom door.
"Stop! Where are you going?"
"Well, didn't you tell me to go back to the dormitory to sleep?" Tang Mingyang said.
"You...!" Liu Xuefei was furious. If I tell you to go back to the dormitory to sleep, you just go? If I tell you to die, will you die?
Suddenly, she felt a chill, as if she were being watched by a wild wolf. She focused and realized that the feeling came from Tang Mingyang's eyes, which were smiling and openly examining her figure.
And this guy was even swallowing saliva and licking his lips, a true pervert.
"So, you understand everything I've taught?"
Liu Xuefei suppressed her anger, her voice icy.
To be leered at in front of her, it had been a long time since anyone had dared to be so disrespectful to her!
"More or less. Can I leave now?"
Tang Mingyang answered absentmindedly, his eyes fixed on the waves of her chest as she spoke.
Liu Xuefei saw that Tang Mingyang not only didn't收敛 his frivolous gaze but also had a hint of lewdness, and she no longer considered him a student.
"Want to leave? Fine. I'll ask you three questions about alchemy. If you can answer all of them, you don't have to attend my class anymore!"
Liu Xuefei's voice was filled with hidden malice. Asking questions was just an excuse to teach Tang Mingyang a lesson.
"Uh... ask away."
Tang Mingyang sensed Liu Xuefei's malice and finally came to his senses, realizing he had been too obvious. He pretended to be embarrassed and rubbed his nose.
As for the alchemy questions?
In his previous life, he was known for his alchemy skills, and apart from a few legendary figures who had surpassed the Xuan Yuan Six Realms, who could claim to surpass him?
The students were shocked, sensing the volcanic rage beneath Teacher Liu Xuefei's calm exterior.
Was Tang Mingyang courting death? Did he still think he was the heir of the Tang Mansion? How could he be so arrogant as to let Liu Xuefei ask him questions at will?
Teacher Liu Xuefei was the youngest one-star alchemist in the Chu Kingdom. Do you know why alchemists are respected? It's not just because they can refine pills that drive martial artists mad, but also because their poisoning skills are equally unpredictable.
Offending an alchemist, you never know when they'll get you.
The most famous incident at the Alchemy and Martial Academy was the "Egg Pain Incident."
Last year, when Teacher Liu first joined the academy, her classes were always packed, with most male students there to see her beauty rather than to learn. As a result, she was very angry and randomly asked questions about the class content. Any male student who couldn't answer her questions would start to have "egg pain" after class.
A few days later, no one from other classes dared to come to her classes anymore.
"Finished 'egging' it, Tang Mingyang is finished 'egging' it."
"Serves him right! His eyes were all over Teacher Liu's chest. This time, Teacher Liu is going to get serious."
"Such a scumbag, who often bullied men and women. It's best if Teacher Liu makes him 'egg' in pain for life."
Especially the female students, who wished Teacher Liu would immediately rid the people of this menace.
Liu Xuefei flipped her hand and took out two herbs from her storage ring, placing them gently on the jade plate on the podium, her voice as cold as ice: "Come up here and explain the uses and effects of these two herbs to the class."
"Is this the first question?" Tang Mingyang asked.
He walked slowly to the podium, his eyes briefly scanning the two herbs on the jade plate, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
This girl had tampered with the two herbs. If he touched them, he would be affected, and in half an hour, his Qugu point would swell and hurt.
The Qugu point is on the testicles, which means "egg pain."
But he didn't care. Even in the Xuan Yuan World, there were very few who could successfully drug him. This girl was simply showing off in front of an expert, which was laughable.
"Correct! I've explained these two herbs in class before, so it's not beyond my teaching scope."
Liu Xuefei stepped back a few steps as Tang Mingyang approached the podium, as if he were a dirty thing.
"Ha, girl..." Tang Mingyang blurted out, feeling Liu Xuefei's killing gaze and quickly corrected himself, "Ah, Teacher Liu, let me kindly remind you that it's a rare opportunity for me to open my mouth and answer your questions for free. You should seize the chance to ask some valuable questions."
He had just regained his memories and was still used to speaking in the tone of a senior from his previous life.
In the Xuan Yuan World, how many eight-star and nine-star alchemists had begged him for guidance with precious treasures and failed?
"Girl..."
Liu Xuefei was so angry that her body trembled, her chest heaving. But when she saw Tang Mingyang's greedy gaze, she instinctively crossed her arms to protect herself. She was furious!
Tang Mingyang, as her student, had been stripped of his noble status and expelled from the Tang Mansion. He had been more disciplined in the past half year.
Moreover, his deceased father and her father had a deep friendship. Out of respect for this relationship, although she despised Tang Mingyang, she still had some intention to guide him.
She never expected that this scoundrel would be incorrigible. Why should she continue to teach such a pervert?
The poison on the two herbs was too light. If I don't make you "egg" in pain for half a year, I'm not Liu Xuefei!
The students in the class were also stunned when they heard the word "girl."
Was Teacher Liu about to erupt? Why was Tang Mingyang still so calm? Was he not afraid, or did he think Teacher Liu wouldn't do anything to him?
"Still, open your mouth and explain the uses of these two herbs!" Liu Xuefei said coldly.
Kindly reminding her, but she didn't understand. Tang Mingyang didn't push it. He casually picked up one of the herbs on the jade plate and, under the watchful eyes of the students, said calmly, "This is called Dragon Tooth Grass..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the students burst into laughter.
"It looks like a snake's tail, with fine leaves like snake scales. This is clearly Snake Tail Grass."
"Haha, I thought he would know, but he's so calm."
"He can't even answer the first question. He's finished 'egging' it!"
Some students flipped through their books to compare the shape and uses of Snake Tail Grass. A student in the front row even held up a diagram of Snake Tail Grass for Tang Mingyang to see. The diagram was almost identical to the herb in his hand.
"Shut up!"
Only Liu Xuefei, standing next to Tang Mingyang, couldn't laugh.
She had taken out Snake Tail Grass, but calling it Dragon Tooth Grass was more accurate.
He must have guessed! It must be a guess!
She glared at Tang Mingyang and asked, word by word, "How did you identify it as Dragon Tooth Grass?"
As soon as she spoke, the laughter in the classroom stopped, and the students looked at Tang Mingyang with disbelief.
It... It really is Dragon Tooth Grass?
