The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth

98. Alchemy Class

Lin Nuo felt that he was about to end his life as an unsuccessful villain. Lately, he had no opportunity to make a move against Su Kexin, but the upcoming alchemy practice was a great chance to show his prowess.

Once the Black Scale Stone was set, the temperature would surge, and then, waiting for Su Kexin to infuse spirit energy, it would reach a critical explosion point. With a bang, Su Kexin would be sent flying, and everyone in the alchemy room would follow.

With Su Kexin’s current strength, even if an explosion occurred, it would be hard for her to withstand the blast of the Black Scale Stone.

There’s a limit to how explosive one can be; you’ve gone from level one to nearly max level in an instant, not even anime dares to portray that.

To survive is to lose, for Su Kexin is utterly invincible; he’d rather take his own life.

Now, I’ve already made arrangements. Alchemy requires three people. First, I’ll team up with Su Kexin to concoct the elixir. Before igniting the spirit fire and starting the alchemy, ingredients must be added, and that’s when I’ll sneak mine in.

At the start, we’ll ignite the spirit fire together, raising the temperature and spiritual energy within the cauldron.

The conditions for the Black Scale Stone to erupt are stringent; not only does it require high temperatures, but also an environment rich in spiritual energy, which the cauldron provides. Normally, spiritual energy dissipates once it leaves the body, much like breath, but within the cauldron, it’s preserved and doesn’t easily fade away. Moreover, the ingredients added before the alchemy can sense the body’s spiritual energy, thereby releasing spiritual essence and enhancing the level of spiritual energy within the cauldron.

Then comes the vigorous fire alchemy. Using a strong fire to heat the cauldron, the process is divided into several stages: simmer for half an hour, channel spirit energy, simmer for another half hour, and channel spirit energy again. After several stages, the medicinal pill will be perfected.

According to Lin Nuo’s calculations, the Black Scale Stone will detonate in the third stage. So, before this stage arrives, he’ll find an excuse, like needing to use the restroom, to find a suitable place to watch the alchemy room explode.

He’s already scouted the route. These days, he’s been surveying and has chosen an inconspicuous path. It’s not easy to traverse, nor does it have any medicinal resources, so it’s almost untouched. His escape through there is guaranteed to be foolproof.

When the time comes, he’ll run to the foot of the mountain. Upon witnessing the alchemy room’s explosion and Tianling Mountain engulfed in bear fire, he’ll leave this place.

Everyone will think he’s been killed. Then, he’ll assume a new identity and embark on the path of the dark arts, becoming the unchallenged, world-ending villain.

Excellent!

With this thought, Lin Nuo begins to laugh.

“Young master, you seem very happy~”

Li Ruoruo brings in the sweet soup, noticing Lin Nuo’s laughter.

“I’ve thought of something delightful.”

From noble mtl dot come

“What is it, young master?”

“It’s none of your concern, Li Ruoruo. Come here for a moment.”

“Oh, okay.”

Li Ruoruo places the sweet soup on the table and approaches Lin Nuo.

Lin Nuo places his hands on Li Ruoruo’s shoulders, speaking earnestly:

“Listen, don’t go near the alchemy room today.”

“Oh, I understand.”

Li Ruoruo wiggles her fluffy ears and nods, “Actually, I usually don’t go there. What’s the matter, young master? Why can’t I go?”

“The alchemy process generates high temperatures, and failures are common. You’re not a cultivator, so you could easily get hurt by mistake.”

“Oh, alright, then you be careful with your alchemy today as well.”

The obedient Li Ruoruo follows Lin Nuo’s instructions, and since she normally doesn’t venture there, she certainly wouldn’t go rashly.

Lin Nuo waves his sleeve and departs.

Within the Xuan Yun Sect, there are various specialized trainings, akin to expanding one’s talents. The previous mental state training was one, and alchemy training is no different.

The disciples of Xuan Yun Sect had previously touched upon some basic medicinal courses and practiced with small furnaces. However, those were minor practices. A true master alchemist practices with large medicinal pills, using a large cauldron.

But the disciples of Xuan Yun Sect aren’t yet capable of handling a large cauldron alone, so this training is arranged for groups of three to perform alchemy together.

Lin Nuo wasn’t late this time; he had arrived quite early. After all, today wasn’t just another mundane practice session, but the day he would seize his grand opportunity to turn the tables as the villain—obliterating Su Kexin, defying fate itself.

【Let’s see if the adorable Su Kexin has arrived yet】

Approaching the alchemy room, Lin Nuo scanned the surroundings for Su Kexin’s figure.

There she was, chatting with other female cultivators.

They exchanged glances with Su Kexin, who then shifted her gaze towards Lin Nuo.

“Senior Brother!”

Su Kexin ran over excitedly. Having gone through the last emotional trial, her feelings upon seeing Lin Nuo were always the same—joyous, thrilled. The greatest enlightenment from the emotional trial was to cherish the people before her, and Lin Nuo was someone she must treasure.

“Senior Brother, you’re quite early today. We’re using the large cauldron for alchemy, and I’m a bit nervous. The group assignments are out, and we’ve been placed in the same team.”

“Hmm? What a coincidence?”

Lin Nuo feigned surprise, though he had known everything all along, much like in his previous life. He and Su Kexin would be paired with either Zhang San or Li Si, some random person. During the alchemy process, Su Kexin would display her exceptional talent, fitting the protagonist’s mold, and directly concoct a superior-grade grand elixir, stunning everyone for a moment.

Lin Nuo checked whether the passerby was Zhang San or Li Si.

Hmm?

Mu Yiting?
