C6 Bullshit!

Even the Vice Dean's composure wavered at Feng Zhentian's words. He was aware that there was only one known method to refine the Body Breaking Pill, a process fraught with particularly stringent requirements.

A multitude of specific rules had to be followed, or else the pill would be anything but easy to produce!

Yet Feng Zhentian had the audacity to inquire about multiple methods, leaving the Vice Dean utterly astonished.

But then he remembered that the young man before him was considered the biggest failure in Maple Falling Town. How could he possibly have any knowledge about refining the Body Breaking Pill?

He probably didn't even know the first thing about a single method, much less several.

"Hmph, anyone can boast," the Vice Dean sneered.

Unruffled, Feng Zhentian turned to Ms. Wang with a slight smile. "Ms. Wang, from what I've learned, there are actually over thirty different methods to refine the Body Breaking Pill."

"Over thirty methods?" Ms. Wang's eyes bulged in disbelief.

"How can that be? The textbook states there's only one method!"

"Exactly, Feng Zhentian, stop spouting nonsense. If Ms. Wang gets fired because of you, I won't forgive you!"

"Yeah, Feng Zhentian, just come clean. Consider it a plea from me. I'll even stop picking on you, okay?"

At that moment, the other students were convinced Feng Zhentian was just bluffing, but he remained indifferent. He casually picked up the textbook from the desk, thumbed through it with a furrowed brow, and then slammed it down. "Who on earth put together this textbook? It's full of inaccuracies."

A hush fell over the room.

They might have been merely surprised if Feng Zhentian had knowledge beyond the textbook. But to openly criticize the most authoritative textbook as a fabrication was shocking to everyone.

After a full twenty seconds of stunned silence, laughter and angry rebukes erupted. "Feng Zhentian, you fool, can't you read? One of the contributors listed here is none other than our Vice Dean Soong!"

"Imbecile, Vice Dean Soong is the most respected Alchemist in Maple Falling Town. How dare you challenge his expertise?"

"Hmph, what a fool and a waste of space. Aren't you aware that this book has been thoroughly vetted by the Alchemist Association and received their unequivocal endorsement? There's no way it could contain errors."

Meanwhile, Ms. Wang was taken aback and shot Feng Zhentian a warning glance: "Feng Zhentian, don't spout nonsense."

Vice Dean Soong, infuriated to the point of amusement, was a Grade Two Alchemist. In the empire, he was a respected Alchemist with a rightful place. To have his own textbook, which he had a hand in writing, ridiculed by a mere child was preposterous. "Fine, I'll have you know that I contributed to the writing of this book, alongside other renowned Alchemists from Maple Falling Town. It has even been scrutinized by Grade Three Alchemists. So tell me, how could this book possibly be filled with fabrications? If you can't provide a convincing reason, you might just find yourself expelled."

Confronted with Vice Dean Soong's scornful challenge, Feng Zhentian picked up the textbook and casually turned a page. Without hesitation, he began, "This section describes the Body Breaking Pill. It states that the method for concocting the Body Breaking Pill involves neatly arranging the ingredients and dissolving them in order. Hmph, since when does a common Body Breaking Pill require such meticulous arrangement of ingredients? Ridiculous. The critical aspect of the Body Breaking Pill is that the ingredients must not be added in sequence; otherwise, the pill will lose its intended potency..."
