Indeed, it was Fluid Alchemy without a doubt.

All the theories and spiritual circuits used, even the interference of properties and the skills of spiritual refinement, were fundamentally derived from Fluid Alchemy, supplemented by the further extensions of Modern Alchemy.

Professor Ye certainly knew this.

After all, Ji Jue had submitted everything he knew, but she only briefly flipped through the basic theories and applications, completely disregarding the rest, simply confirming there were no hidden dangers before tossing it back to Ji Jue and not bothering any further.

Just like that, with a touch of understanding and only a taste of it... she casually left Ji Jue miles behind!

While Ji Jue was still immersed in the basic content of Fluid Alchemy, Professor Ye had already started "Reverse Divine Skill"!

Since the essence of Fluid Alchemy was to enhance the inherent nature of the materials and thus drive the advancement of the form and carrier, then, why not use it in reverse?

As long as I lock down the external form of the material, then, in turn, no matter how pure or powerful the inner essence, wouldn't it all have to submit to the restrictions of the carrier?

Externally, it seemed like a seal, using common carriers to imprison and restrain the spiritual body.

This could no longer be called Fluid Alchemy, perhaps, based on this, a new school could be developed, maybe it could be called Solid Alchemy?

However, for Ji Jue, this high and distant road seemed to lack research value in Professor Ye's view, not worth her attention at all.

"See clearly?"

Professor Ye extended her hand, handing over the hardened mercury bead to him.

Ji Jue pondered for a long time, "Saw it clearly, a bit."

"Do you understand it?" Ye Xian asked again.

Ji Jue honestly replied, "The principle, roughly clear."

"That's about right, just take it and ponder on it yourself, analyze it carefully if there's anything unclear in theory, this will be your course for the next period."

With an indifferent wave of her hand, Professor Ye tossed the mercury bead into his hand and went back to her laissez-faire mode. "It's just a useful skill for you, the prospects aren't big, no need to get lost in it.

Just a taste is enough."

After all, the applications were really quite limited.

The art of trapping and locking spiritual quality was not rare in the Ascension Series, key lies in its expandability and convenience.

For a Chosen One like Ji Jue who excelled in Fluid Alchemy, it held considerable value.

Once mastered, he could directly convert mercury into a spiritual cage, controlling its capacity by adjusting the mercury.

At the same time, it could store mechanical spiritual quality, which could be summoned at critical moments, without having to cram everything into his own spirit. Otherwise, stuffing all sorts of odd things in, over time, it wouldn't be known what it might turn into. Storing residual spirits in mercury could also avoid the awkward situation of needing to use the Soul Summoning Bell when there were no materials nearby.

In any case, Professor Ye had already pointed out the way to Ji Jue, how far he could extend and develop it depended on his own needs and invested effort.

For this, Ye Xian did not doubt.

After all, this abnormal growth that could pressurize the teacher every so often, no one knew what completely unrecognizable form it might take.

"In the next few days, just take a good rest. Once the holidays are over, it's going to get busy."

Finally, when back in the study, Ye Xian pulled open a drawer and took out a box, "This is for you."

Ji Jue curiously opened the box, and inside was just a neatly square plastic box, looking like some key device used for verification plugged into a computer.

Unable to find any seams on the surface and slightly shaking it, he sensed it was tightly integrated internally and even appeared somewhat resistant to Mechanical Descent.

Below the small box, surprisingly, was a complete set of credentials and a work card.

On the badge, Ji Jue's ID photo was printed.

When he picked it up to take a closer look, Ji Jue was startled as he noticed the title—an Assistant Director of Technical Development at Coastal Automobile Factory?

What the heck?

Had he just come home and was now starting to work in a shady workshop to support the family?

"Don't worry, it's just a nominal role," Ye Xian said with a wave of her hand. "You don't need to go to work, and of course, there's no salary. If you're interested, you could get involved, just don't expect those unambitious folks to surprise you."

Ji Jue's expression twitched.

To be honest, he had quite a low opinion of it.

Even the local youth in Cliff City didn't care much about this brand anymore—decades ago when Coastal Automobile Factory was a symbol of Cliff City, it had its glorious days.

Unfortunately, due to policy changes, world shifts, and various reasons, it had rapidly declined, never launching any influential products.

This product of protective policies now was barely holding on, with no promising future to speak of.

The most famous product was those knockoff vans seen all over the streets of Cliff City—copying everything from the design to the chassis to the suspension and even the engine from Huan Yu Heavy Industry's classic models.

Simple, reliable, and durable.

And cheap.

With this, as Huan Yu Heavy Industry's original models gradually reduced in price and offered benefits, sales also declined year after year.

Barely alive.

Even so, as a local large enterprise, how did Professor Ye get these credentials and identity card?
