Chapter 394: Criteria for Talent

Translator: Lordbluefire  Editor: Lordbluefire

“Lanscheno, high-grade medicinal refiner! Age 35, born in Rome Federation Deiss Planet…”

“Chen Donglai, medicinal refinement grandmaster! Age 52, born in Huaxia Star Republic's Medical King Planet…”

“Oaklan, high-grade medicinal refiner! Age 31, born in Europa Alliance's Charo Planet…”

Many figures flashed before his eyes. All of them were medicinal refinement masters, dressed in military uniform, and appeared very spirited.

Interstellar human's average lifespan exceeded 200 years old, and those who were 40+ years old were considered to be in the prime of their lives.

None of them were lower than a high-grade medicinal refiner, and they were all at the prime of their lives. Clearly, they were the seeds that the Great Wall University was focusing on nurturing, and they had specially been sent to learn the crimson gunpowder's refinement technique from Feng Lin.

“These are all the information on the medicinal refinement masters that the Great Wall University is providing you with. What do you think?” The Lieutenant Colonel looked at Feng Lin and smiled, feeling confident that Feng Lin would be satisfied.

Feng Lin read on but his brows furrowed tightly. “Sir, they won't be able to learn my technique!”

“They won't be able to learn it?!” Upon hearing that, the Lieutenant Colonel felt puzzled.

These people weren't ordinary people and were at least high-grade medicinal refiners or even medicinal refinement grandmasters. They were considered to be the elites amongst elites in the Great Wall Army and were the talents that were being nurtured with added emphasis.

If it wasn't because the skill of refining the crimson refinement gunpowder was too important, it was impossible to have such great talents to be sent to work under a Second Lieutenant.

It was merely a refinement technique for a single type of medicine. How could they possibly not be able to learn it?

If it wasn't because Feng Lin didn't seem to be lying, the Lieutenant Colonel would really suspect if Feng Lin was doing this on purpose, not intending to pass down the technique.

He had already received the military title in exchange for imparting the skill. If he were to attempt to intentionally hide this technique, the consequences would be dire.

It was impossible for someone who could come out first amongst the freshmen to be such a fool!

The Lieutenant Colonel's expression turned dark as he waited for Feng Lin's explanation.

Feng Lin knew that the Lieutenant Colonel had thought too much when he saw the latter's countenance changed. Feng Lin smiled, “It's not that I'm not willing to teach them, but they really won't be able to learn it. Refining the crimson refinement gunpowder requires my unique medicine refinement technique–the Crystallized Medicine Creation Technique. It pursues the crystallization of liquid gene potions, and the individual's grade doesn't matter. The technique requires a unique mental-type gene, using the invisible mental energy to control the refinement process and analyze the medicinal properties in order to condense them into a tiny crystal with explosive effect. If the individual hasn't awoken the mental-type gene, they wouldn't be able to meet my requirements no matter how high their grade is!”

Crystallized Medicine Creation Technique?

He didn't understand a single thing that Feng Lin had said. (Why haven't I heard of such a refinement technique before?)

(However, there is a great possibility that this is true. It might be because a new medicine refinement technique was used that the crimson refinement gunpowder, being such a mysterious item, can be produced!)

The Lieutenant Colonel thought and then said, “It seems that this is my oversight! How about this, you can just list down the type of medicinal refinement masters you require. Our Great Wall Guards Army will definitely help you find them!”

(It seems that the Great Wall Guards Army is really placing the crimson refinement gunpowder in high regard!)

Feng Lin thought to himself. However, this wasn't a bad thing.

The more they valued the crimson refinement gunpowder, the greater his worth would be and the more the benefits he could obtain.

“The conditions aren't too tough!” Feng Lin gave it some thought before saying, “I only have two criteria. Firstly, all the medicinal refinement masters must have awakened mental-type or psychological-type mythological genes and are able to move items with their minds! Secondly, I don't have any requirements for the medicinal refinement master's grade. It's fine as long as they have reached the initial-grade. However, they must absolutely follow my orders. Otherwise, I want to have the right to fire them. I don't wish to have anyone interfering with our internal affairs!”

When the Lieutenant Colonel heard this, he immediately went deep into thought. The first condition was very strange, but it was still acceptable.

However, the second condition was a little difficult.

To think that a mere Second Lieutenant wished to have complete autonomy over his own team!

This was something very rare!

However, he still nodded after giving it some thought.

Professional matters should be left to the professionals. When the time came, everything would be determined by the results.

If Feng Lin could complete this mission, everything would be negotiable.

If he couldn't, not only would they take back the autonomy, but he might not even be able to keep his title as a Second Lieutenant.

“These are all fine! Are you sure that you don't have any grade restrictions for the medicinal refinement masters? Even initial-grade medicinal refiners are fine?” The Lieutenant Colonel did a final verification, finding this to be unbelievable.

“Sir, please rest assured!” Feng Lin smiled and replied, “The most crucial step of refining the crimson refinement gunpowder requires one to have control over their mental powers. Other than that, the other refining steps aren't too complicated. As long as they are willing to learn, even initial-grade medicinal refiners will be able to succeed!”

“I see. Since that's the case, I'll select new refinement masters for you!” The Lieutenant Colonel said this and kept on tapping his finger on his identity microchip, giving out various orders.

Feng Lin took this time to look around the refinement chamber, checking the internal environment as well as the refining tools.

Dong dong dong!

Very soon, a series of uniform but urgent footsteps got closer.

“Attention!” A loud cry rang out and everyone stopped outside the laboratory.

“Come in!” The Lieutenant Colonel let out a deep bellow.

The laboratory's door was pushed open.

Over 100 medicinal refinement masters of varying ages—both young and old—entered. The younger ones were about the same age as Feng Lin while the older ones already had gray hair.

However, without a single exception, all of them emitted auras of mental waves.

The Lieutenant Colonel walked up to them and said, “You're now given a chance to earn military merit! This is the Logistic Unit's Second Lieutenant Feng Lin. In the future, you'll be learning from him a new refinement technique to create the crimson refinement gunpowder. This is a brand new damaging gene potion and is the spirit race's bane. It has great damaging prowess on the battlefield. Those who can learn it successfully can have the chance to be promoted to a military officer!”

Everyone was taken by shock and was secretly feeling excited.

It was a rare opportunity to be able to take part in such an important mission.

As medicinal refinement masters, with each additional refinement technique they mastered, the stronger their foundation and the greater their chances that they'd be able to raise their grade as refinement masters.

Let alone the fact that this was the crimson refinement gunpowder, a medicine that already had a great reputation in the Great Wall Army. Where else could they find an opportunity like this?

They mustn't pass this chance!

They secretly felt elated, but when they saw that their leader Feng Lin was of such a young age, their smiles froze.

Although Feng Lin was the inventor of the crimson refinement gunpowder, he was just a year one university student. How capable could he be? Shouldn't he be handing over the medicine refinement technique and then scram?

As rare medicinal refinement masters, many of them were arrogant. They assessed Feng Lin rudely, filling with judgmental feelings. It was only because of the Second Lieutenant's prestige that they didn't dare say much.

However, Feng Lin had already seen their reactions. He stepped forward, wore a solemn expression and said, “From now on, you'll be following my instructions to refine medicine. Only those who qualify can stay. Those who don't follow orders can scram immediately!”

His voice was like an explosive thunder, giving no regard to their feelings.

When the medicinal refinement masters heard this, all of their expressions turned grim.

However, Feng Lin didn't give them any chance to adapt to the situation. No matter how talented a medicinal refinement master was or how strong their medicine refinement abilities were, if they couldn't be used by him, there was no way that he'd be keeping them.

These people might appear arrogant, but none of them were foolish. No matter how aggrieved they felt, none of them moved a step.

This was a rare opportunity!

If they were to miss out on this chance, it'd be very difficult for them if they wished to take part in such an important yet safe mission!

None of them were willing to let go of this chance easily.

“Watch me as I refine the medicine! Learn as much as you can! I'll only be keeping 20 people. Those who can learn the most and the fastest will have greater chances of staying behind!” Feng Lin didn't pay them any heed and let out a deep bellow as he started.

His movements were smooth like the drifting clouds and flowing water, as well as being very orderly. Under the control of his hands and mind, many medicinal herbs produced mysterious changes. Everyone present instantly stared with their eyes wide open.
