Kirby’s bounty is 5,000 gold coins plus three bottles of epic potions made by Mist Blade Moon Emperor himself.

Mist Blade…Don’t love it too much!

Tulan: “Is there anyone you know up there?”

Yu Xunge: “Yes, there are my four sisters.”

Tulan: “Do you want to rescue him?”

Yu Xunge said sadly: “There is no hope.”

Tulan: “What bad luck! Are they being wronged?”

Yu Xun Ge:.

Look at you, you’ve killed the conversation again!

After Yu Xunge took Tu Lan out for a swim, he transformed into a black-skinned minotaur and changed into the equipment stolen from Yu Xunhuan’s Han siblings and entered the city. This time the inspection process was obviously stricter than the last time. The minotaur sneaked all the way to Hufflepuff’s alchemy shop with his pet.

Hufflepuff was still sitting by the window reading a book, with dessert and beer at hand. He caught a glimpse of a bull’s head rising by the window and was about to slap it reflexively, but then he saw the other party’s name – [Hufflepuff].

Hufflepuff:?

After Yu Xunge greeted Hufflepuff, he entered the store through the main entrance and sat down next to Hufflepuff. As soon as he saw Hufflepuff, Tulan hid in the pet space.

Hufflepuff did not chat with Yu Xunge. Her mind was full of Moon Fox’s alchemy recently. Many techniques in it were contrary to mainstream alchemy. She had vaguely noticed it when she saw the book “Brewing Potions? Wouldn’t it be enough to have a tail” that Mist Blade gave to Yu Xunge.

She asked, “How is your learning of [Melting Time] going?”

Yu Xunge immediately took out her notes and started asking questions. After getting Hufflepuff’s answer, she asked again, “Teacher, if I simplify the brewing process and techniques, or even replace some of the herbs with others, can I teach the failed version I developed under this circumstance to others?”

Hufflepuff did not laugh at Yu Xunge’s fantasy. She took out the second notebook about [Melting Time] and handed it to Yu Xunge: “Okay, as long as the similarity rate is less than 10%, the rules will not be triggered.”

Moreover, she felt that Yu Xunge was not far from successfully brewing [Melting Time].

Hufflepuff turned a page in the book in her hand and suddenly asked, “Do you think that you can hide your full charm by getting your face dirty and wearing ugly clothes?”

Are you here to remind me again? Yu Xunge sat down immediately: “Teacher, please say more!”

Hufflepuff: “Do me a favor and I’ll teach you.”

Yu Xunge: “What’s the matter?” Are we going to Yuehu Library again?

Hufflepuff took out three white notebooks and pushed them in front of Yu Xunge: “These are your most recent courses, and there are requirements at the end.”

Without waiting for Yu Xunge to thank her, she took out three dark blue notebooks and said, “Take these three notebooks and go to Polar Day City to find Rukia. She spends most of her time there. Find her and give her these three notebooks. If she is not there, then go to Polar Night City to look for her.”

Yu Xunge didn’t ask why Hufflepuff didn’t go by herself. She put away the book and said, “I promise to complete the task. Teacher, can you lend me some [Melting Time] first? I’ll return it to you when I can refine it.”

She wasn’t shameless enough to ask for it directly. Even if the ingredients for the master-level potion were not expensive, the value of this level of potion was there, and she couldn’t play dumb.

Hufflepuff took out 5 bottles of [Melting Time] and handed them to her. After thinking for a while, he took out another 5 bottles: “Well, this should be enough. Remember to return the 12 bottles to me.”

Yu Xunge: …The longer I know him, the more I feel that Hufflepuff is not a good person. He sends students to steal houses and lends money at high interest rates.

After making all the arrangements for Yu Xunge clear, Hufflepuff began to talk business: “Charm is like luck. It cannot be hidden unless it is truly modified. However, I haven’t studied this aspect much. You can ask Lukia this time. She created a potion called [Gold Medal Killer] that can modify charm for a short period of time.”

When Yu Xunge was about to leave, she went to the auction house to see if there was any stock of this potion. She asked, “Does Lukia have a good personality?”

Hufflepuff raised a smile at the corner of her mouth: “She also wrote an autobiography. You can read her autobiography. You will understand after reading it. She is very easy to understand.”

Yu Xunge asked this question only because he had seen it.

If The Autobiography of Hufflepuff is a female-oriented refreshing novel about the counterattack and rise of a female slave, then The Autobiography of Rukia is about constantly teaching children, teaching children, and teaching children.

She had been teaching children since she was just a master alchemist. When she reached legendary level, she was still teaching children. When she reached epic level, yes, she was still teaching children…

Yu Xunge even suspected that she had a system that could make students stronger by teaching them alchemy.

She also doesn’t like to teach those children with outstanding talents. She only teaches children with average talents. Lukia believes that true geniuses don’t need teachers. Instead, children with average talents but who love alchemy need teachers more.

Because her talents and skills allow her to travel around the world, and she treats all races equally, she will have several students at the same time. In the morning, she will teach noble ladies in the noble castle, in the afternoon, she will teach minotaurs on the grassland, and in the evening, she might go to the bottom of the sea to teach sirens. Even intelligent exotic beasts can become her students.

Sounds like a very loving soul.

But she said that she was ruthless and that she would only teach each student for a maximum of 5 years. After 5 years, no matter whether the student had become intelligent or not, she would leave directly because she needed to leave time for more children.

Yu Xunge thought of the noble lady in Hufflepuff’s Autobiography. According to Hufflepuff’s story, Lukia taught the noble lady in the castle for 8 years, which obviously contradicted Lukia’s principles.

Anyone who sees this would think that Rukia stayed there for eight years just for Hufflepuff.

Yu Xunge asked: “Is she your mentor?”

Hufflepuff hesitated, then replied, “No.”

Hufflepuff warned, “You have to pay attention to this. She no longer officially accepts students, and she doesn’t like people calling her teacher.”

Yu Xunge couldn’t help but be curious: “Why?”

That autobiography only recorded Lucia’s experience of finding students and teaching them in various places in Zeeland. She wrote about those students’ stories, their love for alchemy, and their struggles on the path of alchemy but their unwillingness to give up, but she did not write about what happened later.

For example, why did Rukia travel around to teach children before, but now Hufflepuff said that she stayed in Midnight Sun City most of the time.

Hufflepuff sighed, “Because a student she taught 23 years ago, an oak owl, did not give up alchemy after she left. But she can never find a teacher like Rukia who is patient and treats all students equally, and this teacher is also an epic alchemist…

“After struggling for three years, she made a deal with the devil. By constantly killing children and offering them to the devil in exchange for alchemy talent, she became a high-level alchemist in less than ten years.

“That day she stood at the door of the Alchemist’s Guild and shouted Rukia’s name, asking her if she had the right to ask Rukia to break her principles for her, just like she had stayed in one place for eight years for Hufflepuff, and now she should stay in one place for her!

“…Since that year, Rukia no longer taught children alchemy.”
