Chapter 373 Poor tolerance for alcohol?!

"Have you learned it?"

William looked at Alice after he had concocted the divine medicine.

Alice stared at him blankly.

How could she possibly learn it from such a quick process?

Seraphina also looked bewilderedly at William.

If alchemy was this simple, wouldn't alchemists be everywhere?

Didn't understand?

William was silent. He had already slowed down his actions a lot and demonstrated the steps in detail. If Alice couldn't learn it, it could only mean that her aptitude was somewhat lacking.

His previous apprentices were all top-notch geniuses, who would understand anything as soon as it was taught.

They didn't even need much explanation,a little guidance and they could learn by analogy.

Considering Alice, he had practically taken her through the process step by step, and she still didn't get it. What more could he do?

He threw the newly concocted Soul Essence Pill to Seraphina somewhat displeased.

"Master, this divine medicine, should I just eat it?" Holding the divine medicine, Seraphina was excited. Could she finally have her own body?

William glanced at her and said coldly, "Otherwise, how do you want to eat it? Do you want a bottle of Brandy?"

Seraphina asked wide-eyed, "Would the medicine work better with Brandy?"

William looked at her expressionlessly.

"Cough! I spoke too much," Seraphina coughed lightly and said, "Then, I'll leave the rest to you."

William said, "Didn't you ask Amy to help take care of the Eternal Vine?"

"Ah?" Seraphina spoke a bit gloomily, "Master, please keep an eye on it too."

She really didn't feel comfortable entrusting her new body to the care of a child.

William's face gradually showed a slight smile, "I believe Amy can take good care of it."

Please don't really do that!

Seraphina had chatted with Amy because she often saw her feeding a rabbit in the yard, so she assumed Amy was a kind-hearted child who loved small animals.

After some detailed questioning, she discovered that Amy was feeding the rabbit only because it was still small, and because... it wasn't enough to eat.

Seraphina sneakily glanced at the Eternal Vine, relieved that it didn't look particularly appetizing.

"You can start now. After you swallow this Soul Essence Pill, focus your mind and attach your soul to the Eternal Vine. When the time is right, I will help you reshape your physical body."

"Alice, come with me!"

William then headed to his study.

Seraphina could feel that William's attitude towards her wasn't very warm, but he had already helped her this much. She couldn't expect him to treat her the same as Alice.

After consuming the Soul Essence Pill, Seraphina began to gather the energy around her, focusing her mind. When the time came to reshape her physical form, she was determined to become the person William would like.

Before parting, Seraphina also shared many heartfelt words with Sofia.

In the yard, the Wutong flowers were falling, and Seraphina's soul began to gather, finally sending a beam of white light from her forehead onto the Eternal Vine in the corner of the courtyard.

Sofia shuddered slightly and slowly opened her eyes. Now, Seraphina had finally left her body.

During this time, she had learned a lot from Seraphina.

Besides skills in playing musical instruments, she also learned secrets to becoming a Soulmancer and enhancing her abilities. According to Seraphina, she didn't like owing others, so these were her compensation to Sofia.

Most importantly, she encouraged Sofia to be bolder.

After Seraphina's soul attached to the Eternal Vine, Sofia stood alone in the courtyard, petals falling on her shoulders. She glanced towards the door of William's room.

The door was open, but William hadn't invited her in.

"This must mean he wants me to leave on my own," Sofia said with a bitter smile, lowering her head and turning to leave the courtyard.

Throughout, she had felt almost invisible in front of William, not possessing the boldness of Seraphina.

The most she had ever spoken to William was probably the day he came to school to pick up Amy.

William naturally knew what it would be like after Seraphina's soul left Sofia's body.

That's why he had gone inside ahead of time.

In the current state of the city, it should be safe for Sofia to go home alone.

"Master, are you going to teach me alchemy?" Alice still preferred to call him 'Master,' probably because she was used to it.

William didn't directly answer her question. Instead, he took out a set of exquisite writing tools, including a fountain pen, ink, and high-quality paper, and said, "Watch carefully."

"Okay," Alice nodded.

William began writing key points of alchemy and some special formulas in a fluent calligraphic style. He even detailed the gestures for casting spells.

He knew well how slow Alice was to understand. If he made the instructions too simple, she would surely fail to grasp them.

He continued writing for over an hour, filling more than a hundred pages.

Alice was astonished.

"So much?" Alice thought William's handwriting was truly beautiful, and his focused and serious demeanor was even more attractive.

Such a serious man was really charming.

Hearing her comment, William paused his pen and said coldly, "If you don't want to learn, we can tear it all up."

"I'll learn! Of course, I'll learn!" Alice panicked immediately, fearing that William was getting angry.

William didn't speak further and continued writing for another dozen pages before stopping.

"Pack everything up. The bed is yours for the night, I have other things to do," William said. "Remember everything within three days, and start practicing alchemy in five days."

Alice, being a Soulmancer, had a much better memory than before. Even if she was slow, she should be able to memorize everything in three days. Someone with better aptitude could have remembered it all in one go and started practicing alchemy the next day.

Five days... was more than enough time.

"So late, where are you going?" Alice stood in front of the desk, looking at the thick stack of papers, and asked subconsciously.

William frowned slightly and said, "To a bar!"

"Your tolerance for alcohol..." Alice was about to comment on William's poor drinking ability, but she quickly changed her tune, "I'll come with you. If you get drunk, I'll bring you back."

"You seem to have a lot of free time! I won't be there to face those Guild leaders for you later," William said and then left the study.

To think she said he had a poor tolerance for alcohol!

Probably only Alice would think William's drinking ability was poor.

After William left the room, Alice imitated his tone and muttered, "You seem to have a lot of free time?"

"Hmph! Just watch you go out and have fun!" Alice didn't really believe William would actually go out and cause trouble. Weren't there enough beautiful women around him?

Even Seraphina was a stunning beauty, but judging by William's attitude towards her, he treated everyone equally.

Alice tidied up the desk and took the book on alchemy William had written back to the bedroom to study.

"It doesn't seem too difficult! But these alchemical materials, why have I never heard of them before?" Alice shook her head, "Never mind, I'll just note them down for now."
