Chapter 95: It’s Over, He Knows Nothing
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhong Haoran was a little surprised when he heard this. He frowned slightly and sized up Lin Bai. Seeing that he was only in his early twenties, he immediately revealed a doubtful expression.
“Just him? To be able to refine a seventh-grade pill, you don’t have to brag like that. You can’t even refine it yourself. Do you think that you can just pull anyone to fill in the numbers?”
Chen Yan’s gaze was very proud. Those who didn’t know would think that he was the one who had concocted a grade seven pill. “I saw it with my own eyes.”
“Who knows if it was the two of you who conspired together? Not only did you be a deserter, but in order to justify yourself, you also found such a flawed excuse. It’s simply a disgrace to our Alchemist a.s.sociation.”
Chen Yan was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and said, “Don’t go too far with your words.”
Zhong Haoran rolled his eyes and revealed a malicious smile. “Since you’re so confident, why don’t you let your disciple compete with mine to see if it’s true as you said.”
Chen Yan, who had lost his mind due to anger, said without thinking, “Let’s compete. Do you really think I’m afraid of You?”
Moreover, he was confident in Chen Yan. He could even refine a seventh pin, not to mention the others.
“Then, if you lose, admit that you’re a deserter and voluntarily withdraw from the Alchemist a.s.sociation. It’s the same if I lose.”
“Alright!”
Chen Yan and Zhong Haoran’s gazes met in midair. Immediately, countless sparks flew. The two of them clapped their hands and swore an oath.
“I’m looking forward to it.” Zhong Haoran revealed a proud smile and led the disciples behind him away.
Just like that, Lin Bai became Chen Yan’s disciple.
Chen Yan smiled embarra.s.sedly and said, “Actually, there’s a reason why I asked you to come here. I hope you can replace me.”
His words were a little vague, which made Lin Bai confused. Recalling what Zhong Haoran said just now, he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the matter with the deserter he said just now?”
“You’ll know what happened in time.”
Lin Bai frowned and suddenly became a little vigilant. “I won’t agree unless you tell me clearly.”
After all, he and Chen Yan had only known each other for a short time. Although Chen Yan approved of him and had saved him in the He family, it was still a different matter.
However, Chen Yan showed a troubled expression. “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but this matter can not be easily revealed. However, since I’ve accepted you as my disciple, i definitely won’t harm you. Otherwise, why would I save you in the first place?”
“As for the deserter that Zhong Haoran mentioned, it was an accident. Don’t listen to him. I have a long grudge with this person.”
Seeing how stubborn Lin Bai was, Chen Yan had no choice but to reveal some information.
“Do you still remember at the He family? They said that all the fifth-grade and above alchemists in the city were secretly summoned by the city lord. They didn’t know their whereabouts, right?”
Lin Bai nodded. “I think so.”
“Actually, I was also summoned. At that time, I was almost at the level of a sixth-grade alchemist. However, due to special reasons, I couldn’t break through in the end. Who would have thought that Zhong Haoran would use this as an excuse to attack me?”
Chen Yan sighed and talked about the past.
He and Zhong Haoran were good friends, and the two of them entered the Alchemist a.s.sociation together. Unfortunately, they were under different people’s tutelage. In addition, Zhong Haoran was narrow-minded, and his talent was not as good as his, so they often compared each other in the open and in the dark.
As a result, the relations.h.i.+p between the two of them became stiff, and eventually broke down. Until now, it could even be said that they were enemies.
“In short, I won’t harm you, but some things can only be told to you after this. After all, this involves a lot of things, and with your current ident.i.ty, it is not suitable to tell you.”
Chen Yan looked at Lin Bai meaningfully, “I can only tell you this now. Now, there is a great opportunity in front of you. It all depends on whether you can seize it.”
Having said that, Lin Bai naturally would not continue to ask. Currently, he had opened a total of three cla.s.s talents. Among them, Beast Taming was the most outstanding. There was Little Green, Little Red, Little Black, and the power transmission system. Needless to say, this was definitely his main cla.s.s.
Then, he awakened alchemy and sword cultivation. Although these two were subcla.s.ses, if he trained them properly, their power in the future could not be underestimated.
Ever since he obtained the Sword Immortal’s inheritance and the Ruo Shui sword, even all the hidden swords in the sword tomb were sealed in his body. Until now, he still did not know how to break the seal and use these. However, it did not matter. The current gains were enough for him to use.
On the other hand, alchemy was still blank. Other than pill concoction, Lin Bai did not know much about related things. He did not have any top-grade pill formulas or precious medicinal herbs. His foundation appeared weak. Moreover, he did not have any systematic learning before.
He might be able to find some good ingredients in the Alchemist a.s.sociation. Therefore, Lin Bai did not reject Chen Yan. He followed him to the pill refinement room. There were many cauldrons here. Other than that, there were also many medicinal plants, it was a dazzling sight.
If one were to say where the largest gathering place of medicinal herbs in the capital was, other than those medicinal herb shops, it should be the Alchemist a.s.sociation.
“Since you can refine a seventh-grade spirit-replenis.h.i.+ng pill, your foundation should be pretty good. Let me test your basic skills. Do you know what the formulas for refining spirit-adhering pills, exploding pills, and qi-gathering pills are?”
Lin Bai shook his head.
Chen Yan thought that the recipes he mentioned were too rare and said a few more common ones. Who knew that Lin Bai would still shake his head?
He did not give up and pointed at the medicinal herbs beside him. “Find the seven star seed, silver forest gra.s.s, Jue Ming, and scorpion tail gra.s.s.”
Lin Bai still did not know.
There was a moment of silence in the air. Chen Yan stared at Lin Bai in disbelief.
In his opinion, if Lin Bai could even refine a seventh-grade spirit replenis.h.i.+ng pill, these things should be extremely easy for Lin Bai to identify.
Who would have thought that he did not know anything at all.
“You, how did you refine the pills before?”
Lin Bai answered truthfully, “The He family prepared the materials when I concocted the seventh grade spirit replenis.h.i.+ng pill. Previously, I also refined the pills according to the recipe.”
Chen Yan only felt that he couldn’t catch his breath. When he thought of the compet.i.tion with Zhong Haoran, his eyes turned black.
It’s over!
This was the only thought that popped up in his mind.
