Ye Xuan scoffed. "Alright, let me give you a simple example. Everyone knows that if you mix equal parts of an acid and a base, you get a neutral liquid with a pH of 7, which is harmless. But if you add a bit more acid, it becomes an acidic liquid. Add a bit less, and it becomes a basic liquid. Either one can be poisonous. That's the difference a small change in quantity can make."
"You don't even understand a principle this simple, yet you call yourself a Seventh Grade Alchemist? Heh, you didn't buy that title, did you?"
"You…" Hongde's face went from pale to livid. The principle Ye Xuan mentioned was indeed common knowledge, leaving him speechless.
He snorted coldly and said angrily, "I'm not going to argue semantics with you. What you said has some merit, but that's just your word against mine, isn't it? For all we know, you could be spouting nonsense."
