When Feng Ling returned, Luo Bi was flipping through a book and looking up information on her optical brain. She looked up and said, "Hu Li came by. She gave me a basic introductory textbook and mentioned someone named Fang Cen who came with her."

Feng Ling took off his military jacket: "Fang Cen is the wife of Wen Wei, the captain of the Second Combat Team, and a first-class alchemy master."

Luo Bi wanted to tell Feng Ling what Fang Cen had said, but thinking of how some people at the military base evaluated her, she decided against it, to avoid being accused of having ulterior motives.

However, Feng Ling asked very seriously about what Hu Li had taught her. Luo Bi told him the truth, and Feng Ling frowned: "She only gave you a book?"

Luo Bi smiled without speaking. What else? Did Feng Ling expect Hu Li to teach her personally? Each alchemy master has their own set of alchemy techniques, and it wouldn't be good if others learned them.

Feng Ling didn't mean it that way. He was well aware of the rules in the alchemy master community. He just wanted Hu Li to give Luo Bi some pointers, but it was clear that Hu Li wasn't very enthusiastic. Feng Ling took the book and flipped through it, chuckling. A basic introductory textbook? He could get such a book too; there was no need for Hu Li to use it to curry favor.

"Be careful, Hu Li treasures this book. Don't damage it, or I won't be able to explain it to her," Luo Bi reminded him.

Feng Ling tossed the book aside: "No problem, if it gets damaged, I'll give her ten more."

Seeing Feng Ling's casual attitude, Luo Bi knew that such a book was nothing to him. She glanced at the book and said, "I can't understand it anyway. I'll return it to her tomorrow."

Feng Ling nodded and took his pajamas to the bathroom.

The next day, the first thing Luo Bi did after getting up was to return the book. Hu Li took the book and was surprised: "Why are you returning it so quickly? Have you finished reading it? Don't just read it; you need to think deeply to understand its subtleties."

After saying this, she warmly invited Luo Bi inside, but Luo Bi shook her head: "I have something to do, I won't come in."

Back home, Luo Bi started alchemy again. Alchemy consumes a lot of mental and soul energy, and it takes a lot of time, so she could only refine one batch per day. For two consecutive days, the sound of explosions could be heard within the family apartment complex.

Exploding one batch a day is not something just anyone can do. How incompetent must one be? Luo Jie found this interesting and enthusiastically ran to the First Combat Team every day to gossip: "Surprisingly, the sound has become quite pleasant to the ear after getting used to it."

Qin Yilang had just returned from the training room and gave him a meaningful look. Exploding batches isn't a good thing; don't bring it up in front of Feng Ling as a joke.

Luo Jie feigned innocence, saying that even if he didn't mention it, others would. The sound of the explosions was just too amusing.

The members of the First Combat Team also found it incredible. They knew that alchemy masters find it difficult to refine spiritual medicines, but to have every batch explode, the failure rate was too high.

Qin Yilang sighed. After Luo Jie left, he called Feng Ling to his office and said, "I hinted to the team members earlier, but the two alchemy masters don't agree to Luo Bi joining our combat team."

With the loud explosions from Luo Bi's alchemy, the other two alchemy masters in the combat team would be even less likely to agree to her joining.

"It's fine," Feng Ling wasn't concerned about it.

Qin Yilang breathed a sigh of relief. The military had regulations: if a military family member awakened mental or soul energy, they were eligible to apply to join their combat team. Given Luo Bi's level of incompetence, not only did the two alchemy masters in the team not want to accept her, but he himself was reluctant to do so.

Each mission the combat team undertakes involves life and death. If an alchemy master isn't up to the task, it could at best drag down the team members, and at worst bring disaster to the entire combat team. Such examples were not uncommon.
