Learning alchemy from Lan Yu'er will naturally bring you more benefits than just improving your alchemy skills.
Basically, one or two of the many elixirs refined by Lan Yu'er will be given to Ling Xiao, which allows Ling Xiao to fully temper his body and improve his cultivation level after returning to the cave at night.
These pills seemed not worth mentioning to Lan Yu'er and could be given to Ling Xiao casually. However, for warriors in the martial arts realm, they may not be bought with money. They are too precious.
Yes.
Seven days later, Ling Xiao had basically mastered Lan Yu'er's skills, and even had his own unique insights, which made Lan Yu'er even more dissatisfied.
At first, Lan Yu'er felt a little uncomfortable. After all, the former Yuehua Sect's number one genius in medicine was now easily surpassed by Ling Xiao. How could she be unhappy?
But as time went by, she gradually lost that feeling and was even a little happy.
After all, for a genius like Ling Xiao, who has learned alchemy and medicine refining from her for such a long time, she can be regarded as half of his master. Wouldn't it be very convenient to ask Ling Xiao to help if there is anything in the future?
Besides, she has never been able to break through to the Heavenly Realm. In the final analysis, it was because she distracted her energy.
Now that Ling Xiao is in the medicine hall, she can put more energy into practice. In fact, starting from the fifth day, some of the pills refined by her have been handed over to Ling Xiao for refining.
This is a sign of trust in Ling Xiao, and it also exercises Ling Xiao's ability in refining elixirs.
On this day, Qingmu, the deputy master of the medicine hall, came to the alchemy room with a very bad expression. As soon as he came, he asked Lan Yuer why he gave some of the precious elixirs to Ling Xiao for refining, and said that the elixirs refined by Ling Xiao
There is something wrong with the medicine, and Ling Xiao must be punished according to the rules of the medicine hall.
Of course, this is an unfounded accusation.
The pills refined by Ling Xiao have been inspected by Lan Yu'er and Yang Lao, and their quality is even better than those refined by them, so how can there be any problems?
Lan Yu'er was about to speak, but Ling Xiao stopped her with a smile, then looked at Qingmu and said, "Deputy Hall Master Qingmu, are you sure there is something wrong with the elixir I refined?"
"Of course. Could it be that this hall master will wrongly accuse you?"
Aoki said coldly.
"Haha, who knows, I heard that Deputy Hall Master Aoki is also good at refining elixirs. Could it be because he feels that his disciple's elixirs are better than yours, so he is jealous and deliberately looking for trouble?"
With the support of Yang Danlin and Lan Yuer, Ling Xiao is not afraid of Qingmu.
"You! Don't talk nonsense!"
Aoki said angrily.
"Then Deputy Hall Master Qingmu doesn't want to spit on anyone!"
Ling Xiao said coldly: "Since Deputy Hall Master Qingmu feels that there is something wrong with the elixir refined by the disciples, how about this? In front of the top management of the medicine hall and the disciples, how about we make the elixir publicly? Let's compare, whose is it?
Is the elixir better?"
"Humph, I don't even bother to compete with you!"
Aoki snorted coldly.
"Aoki, haven't you always wanted the position of the master of this medicine hall?"
Yang Danlin slowly walked in from the outside, looked at Qingmu with a smile and said: "In this case, if you can surpass Ling Xiao in public alchemy, I will give up my position as the leader of the hall and I will never regret it!"
"Old-timer!"
"Old Hall Master Yang!"
Ling Xiao and Lan Yu'er were both surprised. Yang Danlin often came to the alchemy room recently, and occasionally gave guidance to the two of them in alchemy. Therefore, they both noticed the progress of Ling Xiao and Lan Yu'er, but he did not consider it as the leader of the hall.
I bet against Aoki, this kid is a bit too adventurous.
"Hahaha, Mr. Yang, you are joking."
Although Qingmu wanted to agree to this, he was afraid that Yang Danlin was deliberately testing him, so he did not respond immediately.
"What? Aoki, are you scared?"
Yang Danlin sneered and said: "You are a pharmacist who has the seeds of civil and military holy fire and master the martial soul of civil and military holy fire, but Ling Xiao only has the seeds of ordinary fire. You don't dare to bet with him?"
Aoki didn't speak, but his face was a little red.
"Since you don't dare to bet, don't cause trouble for no reason. I personally checked Ling Xiao's elixir. If anyone says there is a problem, just ask him to come to me!"
Yang Danlin suddenly raised his voice.
"Old Hall Master Yang, you can't protect your shortcomings like this!" Qingmu said with anger on his face.
"I'm just protecting my shortcomings today? What's going on?" Yang Danlin looked at Qingmu and refused to let Qingmu step down at all.
"Okay! If that's the case, then Xiu has to blame me! Yang Danlin, this is what you said. If I win against Ling Xiao, will you give up your position as the hall leader?"
Aoki's expression was a bit ferocious, perhaps because he was so angry that he had forgotten his fear and became rude.
"That's right, I said that!"
"Okay, then let's have a formal competition at Yaotang Square tomorrow at noon!"
Aoki said with a gloomy face: "The requirements are very simple. Use the same materials to refine the same elixir. Whoever's elixir is more perfect will win!"
"There is no problem."
Yang Danlin nodded.
Qingmu glared at Ling Xiao fiercely, and then his eyes showed a bit of contempt.
He simply did not believe that Ling Xiao could be better than the elixir he refined.
How long did it take Ling Xiao to learn alchemy, and he only had mortal fire seeds?
However, he is an alchemist with rich experience, and possesses a powerful civil and military sacred fire spirit, which is very helpful in alchemy.
As for the so-called perfect elixirs that he saw before that were refined by Ling Xiao, he always thought that they were made with the help of Yang Danlin or Lan Yu'er. Otherwise, wouldn't Ling Xiao really become a monster?
He didn't believe it.
"Senior, you don't have to do that. I just want to compete with him here to prevent him from finding fault. If you do this, this junior will be under a lot of pressure."
After Qingmu left, Ling Xiao smiled bitterly.
"No confidence?"
Yang Danlin asked with a smile.
"How can it be!"
"Since you have confidence, that's all. If you win this duel, you will become an alchemist cultivated by the sect in the future. No one dares to touch you easily, and you will even be protected by experts. Naturally, Aoki will not be able to do it again.
Isn’t it nice to cause trouble for you?”
Yang Danlin hopes to get rid of it once and for all, otherwise if Qingmu comes to trouble Ling Xiao again and again, Ling Xiao may not have the energy to study.
"Well, seniors, Senior Sister Lan, don't worry, I will definitely destroy this Qingmu." Ling Xiao showed a decisive smile.
…
The next day, all the senior officials and disciples of the Medicine Hall gathered in the Medicine Hall Square.
There are many inner sect disciples here, which is completely different from the previous outer sect challenges.
And this time the competition is not about martial arts or fighting, but about alchemy!
It is simply unheard of for an alchemist who has just started practicing alchemy for less than a month to compete with an experienced alchemist who has been practicing for decades.
"It's that Ling Xiao again!"
A foreigner disciple working in the medicine hall saw Ling Xiao appearing and couldn't help but stand up and exclaimed.
