After thinking for a while, Xiaotong finally made a decision. He looked at Lin Mingyuan with firm eyes.
She knew that Mr. Zhong's invitation was an opportunity for her. With his guidance, she would have made rapid progress, but she still chose to refuse.
One is because he doesn't want to leave Qingyun Sect, but he doesn't want to be separated from his brother.
There was apology in her eyes, and she lowered her head towards Mr. Zhong.
"I'm sorry, grandpa, Xiaotong can't go with you!"
Lin Mingyuan was not surprised by Xiaotong's decision. Although she was young, she had a good heart and her feelings for Qingyun Sect were very deep.
Mr. Zhong sighed with regret, as if he had already guessed the result.
"Hey, you guys have the same temperament as my old friend, you are both very stubborn."
He was not angry because of Xiaotong's rejection, he just laughed after thinking about it for a moment.
"Well, I won't embarrass you, but Xiaotong's talent cannot be wasted."
"I'm here to give Xiaotong the basic alchemy experience. When Lin goes back, she should supervise her practice. If there is anything she doesn't understand, feel free to send a message to me and ask me."
Mr. Zhong took out several pamphlets from his arms. They were covered with dense text and were obviously very precious.
This is the lifelong experience of a sixth-grade alchemist. It is a priceless treasure for the alchemist. The fact that Mr. Zhong gave it to Xiaotong so generously shows how much he values it.
"Why don't you thank Mr. Zhong a lot?"
Lin Mingyuan was shocked and quickly signaled to Xiaotong that his disciple really met a noble person today. He not only helped him out of trouble, but also gave him a chance.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhong!"
Xiaotong rolled her eyes and showed a bright smile.
"Thank you new master!"
When Mr. Zhong heard what Xiaotong said, he smiled. She was really too sensible, which made Mr. Zhong like her even more.
"Since you called me master, I must give you some greeting gifts."
He waved his hand, and a medicine cauldron appeared in front of him, exuding a calm aura.
"This cauldron is called the Medicine King Cauldron. It was used by me when I was young. Although it is only of third-level quality, it is enough for you."
Xiaotong gently stroked the bronze Medicine King Cauldron, with a look of love on her face. She originally wanted to buy a first-level alchemy furnace for practicing, but she didn't expect that Mr. Zhong directly gave her a third-level alchemy furnace. It was really generous.
At this time, the shopkeeper Qian's face was uncertain. After all, the monks of the Langya Sect gave him a death order. No matter what Lin Mingyuan wanted to buy, he could not let the other party succeed. At this time, Mr. Zhong suddenly appeared and disrupted his plan.
.
"Mr. Zhong, could you please take a step to speak?"
He had a flattering look on his face and gave Mr. Zhong a subtle hint.
"The masters of the Langya Sect have given instructions to this Qingyun sect disciple..."
Before he could finish his words, Mr. Zhong pushed him away with a roll of his sleeves, his tone was very cold.
"This is your Qingluan City matter. Don't you think it's my fault?"
Shopkeeper Qian noticed Mr. Zhong's anger and quickly apologized.
"No, no, Mr. Zhong, please calm down. I don't dare to order you!"
"Humph, I'm sorry you don't dare!"
Mr. Zhong snorted coldly, his eyes seemed to be looking towards the backyard of the drug store, his disgust was undisguised.
"I am also aware of the despicable tricks of your Langya Sect, but Xiaotong is my disciple now, so your dealing with her is the same as dealing with me, do you understand?"
"Yes, yes... I don't dare!"
Shopkeeper Qian just nodded in agreement, not daring to speak back at all, not at all as arrogant as he had been when faced with Lin Mingyuan.
Lin Mingyuan couldn't help but find it funny. One thing really brought down another thing. With Mr. Zhong taking action, it saved a lot of trouble.
"Little friend Lin, this is a keepsake from my house. I will hold an alchemy conference in the house in a few days. You must come then."
Although he was talking to Lin Mingyuan, his eyes were entirely on Xiaotong, and his meaning was self-evident.
Of course, Lin Mingyuan understood this. The alchemy conference was a grand gathering often held by high-level alchemists. It was a rare opportunity for alchemists to conduct alchemy in the public to teach their apprentices.
Thinking of Mr. Zhong's identity as a sixth-grade alchemist, Lin Mingyuan had some other thoughts in his mind. If the other party was willing to refine several auxiliary elixirs for him to break through the golden elixir, wouldn't he be more sure of condensing the golden elixir of heaven?
point.
Lin Mingyuan took the jade plaque in Mr. Zhong's hand and agreed immediately.
"Senior, don't worry, Lin will definitely bring Xiaotong there when the time comes."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Mr. Zhong laughed heartily, obviously very happy, and he looked at the backyard of the drug store with a warning look.
"Shopkeeper Qian, sell the medicinal materials that Xiaoyou Lin needs at normal prices. Don't use any tricks."
"Yes, I understand!"
Shopkeeper Qian broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. He quickly took the storage bag from the medicine boy on the side and handed it to Lin Mingyuan respectfully.
"Brother Lin, you just didn't know how to praise me, you better calm down and don't take it to heart!"
Lin Mingyuan just chuckled and didn't respond. He didn't want to pay attention to this kind of villain who acted according to the circumstances. Even if Mr. Zhong didn't show up, he would teach him a lesson.
Since the monks of the Wolf Fang Sect have been staring at him, of course he can't lose the face of Qingyun Sect. After all, he is the headmaster of Qingyun Sect at this time, and he must not be weakened!
Lin Mingyuan just brought the storage bag and threw a high-grade spiritual stone on the counter. With Mr. Zhong here, he didn't worry about what shopkeeper Qian was doing.
The purpose of coming to Qingluan City this time has been achieved, and Lin Mingyuan also has a certain understanding of the city. Although Qingyun Sect has declined, the monks of the Langya Sect are secretly keeping a close watch on them, and they are obviously full of hostility.
"By the way, Xiaotong, why didn't the old sect master not allow you to practice before?"
On the way back to Qingyun Sect, Lin Mingyuan expressed the doubts he had been having in his heart. Although the situation in Qingyun Sect was very poor, basic cultivation could still be accomplished.
"The old sect master said that Brother Tianyou and I picked it up in a thatched house under Qingyun Gate."
Xiaotong was caught in memories, obviously not clear about her life experience.
"Later, the old sect master raised Brother Tianyou and me, but he was reluctant to teach us the Taoism of the Immortal Family. He said he had some unspeakable secrets, but he didn't tell us the reason until he passed away."
Lin Mingyuan just nodded slightly as he listened to Xiaotong's words. It seemed that his two disciples had unusual origins. Children with such talents could not be cultivated by ordinary families. Presumably the old sect leader knew something about their identities.
, but there was no chance to tell them until he died.
Anyway, since Tianyou Xiaotong has become his disciple, Lin Mingyuan feels that he is in the same boat. Why is he not constantly struggling on the road to pursue his parents?
