Lin Mingyuan could feel that Mr. Zhong in front of him was not hostile and just nodded towards Xiaotong.
Xiaotong received permission and clenched her fists again, a faint wave of spiritual power emanating from her body.
Zhong Lao closed his eyes and carefully felt the fluctuation. The next moment, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Little girl, where do you study from?"
Xiaotong replied crisply.
"I am a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, and this is my master!"
Mr. Zhong raised his head and looked at Lin Mingyuan in surprise. Although the young man in front of him was not old, he had already reached the perfection of foundation building. He could be considered a genius, but as the leader of a sect, he seemed a bit weak.
Qingyunmen?
Mr. Zhong muttered this name silently, as if he was very familiar with it.
"I remember Qingyun Sect. I had a relationship with your sect leader back then. I wonder how he is doing now?"
There was a look of surprise on Xiaotong's face, but it dimmed in an instant.
"The old sect master has passed away...",
Mr. Zhong opened his mouth and just sighed in a low voice.
"I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for several years, there are fewer and fewer old friends."
Xiaotong cheered up and took Lin Mingyuan's arm.
"It doesn't matter. Master treats Xiaotong very well and protects the entire Qingyun Sect!"
Mr. Zhong focused his attention on Lin Mingyuan, showing an expression of approval.
"Yes, he is young and promising. The old man from Qingyun Sect will be pleased to know that he has such a disciple."
He touched Xiaotong's head with his hand and finally spoke out what was in his heart.
"I just saw that the spiritual power on your body is a bit unusual. Is it because of the dual spiritual roots of earth and wood?"
Xiaotong nodded in surprise and asked curiously.
"Yeah, how did grandpa know?"
The light in Mr. Zhong's eyes became even brighter. He came to the drug store today just to buy the raw materials for refining the elixir. Unexpectedly, he not only met his old friend's disciple, but also had other surprises.
He is an alchemist, famous even in the entire Qingluan City and even the Qingyun Mountains. His alchemy level has reached the sixth level, and he is the target of countless forces.
Although Mr. Zhong himself has high attainments in alchemy, none of his disciples are worthy of him. After all, alchemy is different from cultivation. Without talent, it is impossible to even get started.
The spiritual power fluctuation that Xiaotong just revealed is the dual spiritual roots of earth and wood. This kind of qualification is rare for alchemists. Earth can carry things and wood can help fire. It is simply born for the purpose of alchemy!
"My little friend, your disciple is very good. I wonder if she is interested in learning the art of alchemy from me?"
Zhong Lao was excited for a moment and what he said was a bit abrupt. Seeing the incomprehensible look on Lin Mingyuan's face, he smiled awkwardly and started to explain.
"I'm a little too hasty in my words. Don't think too much, little friend. I don't want to win over your love. I'm just happy to see your talent. I can't bear to waste this girl's potential."
Mr. Zhong liked Xiaotong very much the first time he saw her. Her old friend's disciple and her excellent alchemy talent make her a rare good prospect. However, Xiaotong is Lin Mingyuan's disciple, so he shouldn't be too obvious.
The earth takes away the heart and soul.
Du Ze had already learned his thoughts from Mr. Zhong. It turned out that he had learned about Xiaotong's Tu Mu Dan Sutra and developed a love for talents. He was saddened to be so polite to him.
"Mr. Zhong is serious. It is a blessing for Xiaotong to be favored by you, but you still need to ask her what she thinks."
Lin Mingyuan felt that this was an opportunity for Xiaotong. If he wanted to enter the alchemy path, having a famous teacher to guide him would avoid a lot of detours. What's more, Mr. Zhong's cultivation level was not low and his background seemed extraordinary. He did not object to this matter.
.
"Xiaotong, do you want to practice alchemy with Mr. Zhong?"
Lin Mingyuan leaned down and asked Xiaotong seriously. He would not force his disciple to do anything, even if it was helpful to him.
"Can Xiaotong help the master after learning how to make alchemy?"
Xiaotong blinked her big eyes and asked frankly. Lin Mingyuan just smiled and nodded, waiting for her decision.
"Then Xiaotong wants to learn!"
There was excitement on her little face. Although Xiaotong practiced hard when she was in Qingyun Sect, she could not compare with her brother Tianyou's progress. She was always worried that she would be held back.
As long as he practices alchemy and can even help his master, there is no reason why Xiaotong would not be willing to do so.
When Mr. Zhong heard Xiaotong's answer, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. He looked at the moody Qian shopkeeper in the drug store with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Based on Mr. Zhong's experience in the world, it is impossible to tell that Lin Mingyuan and Lin Mingyuan were squeezed. The Qingyun Sect and the Langya Sect have never dealt with each other. Even after the decline of the Qingyun Sect, the other party stepped on them a few times. It was obvious that they were deliberately trying to embarrass Lin Mingyuan.
.
"Hey Mr. Zhong, how dare you, little one!"
Shopkeeper Qian's eyelids were twitching, and he was complaining in his heart. He didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would show up halfway, and he was the kind of person he couldn't afford to offend.
"Youngster is just following orders, how could you understand me so much?"
Shopkeeper Qian secretly looked towards the backyard. At this time, the figures inside had disappeared without a trace. He cursed secretly in his heart. He was afraid after causing a lot of trouble. Although he could not afford to offend the Wolf Fang Sect, the clock in front of him was
The old man's status is even higher and he is even more untouchable!
Mr. Zhong snorted coldly. He was too old to see the clues about this matter. Xiaotong whispered a few words in his ear and looked at Shopkeeper Qian with an increasingly cold look.
"Return the spirit stone to Xiaoyou Lin and fulfill your promise!"
Elder Zhong's body exuded terrifying coercion, and Shopkeeper Qian's whole body was shaking like chaff.
"Yes, yes, I understand, little one!"
He felt unlucky in his heart. Today's business failed and both parties were unhappy. As a drug store owner, he knew the influence of Mr. Zhong, and he was afraid that he would have to close down even if the other party said hello.
Mr. Zhong turned his eyes from shopkeeper Qian back to Xiaotong and showed a kind smile.
"Xiaotong, do you want to go back and learn alchemy for me? I promise that I can train you to be a third-grade alchemist in less than half a year!"
Xiaodie seemed to understand, but Lin Mingyuan's eyes were very shocked.
In half a year, he became a third-grade alchemist?
You know how many people will not even have a chance to get started in half a year. Mr. Zhong actually said these words so confidently. It seems that he is not only confident in his own alchemy skills, but also recognizes Xiaotong's talent.
When Xiaotong heard this, she was obviously moved, but she still looked at Lin Mingyuan and asked for his opinion.
"Teacher, I respect your decision."
Lin Mingyuan said that Mr. Zhong exuded an aura of goodwill. Lin Mingyuan believed that his eagle eyes would not be mistaken. He really valued Xiaotong.
As long as Xiaotong is willing, Lin Mingyuan will not stop him. After all, he doesn't know much about alchemy.
When Xiaotong heard Lin Mingyuan's words, she pondered on the spot. Her little face seemed to be very tangled, and after a moment of hesitation, she finally made a decision.
