This class model afforded students a great deal of freedom. Instructors never questioned what subjects they wanted to research or when they wanted to attend class. As a result, Ning Xuan didn't see a single classmate on her first day.
Two teachers had come specifically to meet her, knowing it was her first day.
Teacher Fang was scholarly and amiable. He looked to be in his forties or fifties, but he was actually over a hundred years old. He gifted Ning Xuan a mechanical puppet that could assist with Alchemy. It wasn't a product of technology, but a masterpiece from an Artifact Refining Master.
Mr. Yang had a somewhat rougher appearance and was also over a hundred years old. He gave Ning Xuan a Medicinal Qi Condensation Plate. This device resembled a bronze vessel. When an Alchemist was performing Alchemy, they would place the plate around the Alchemy Furnace, and it would automatically collect the dissipated medicinal qi, re-condensing it to reduce waste.
