Chapter 31: Jealousy

"Miss Yanran, are you going to the Elixir Alliance?"

Looking at Lin Yanran's dress, Lin Yan asked.

"Blessed by Master Tolin, Master Xia finally gave me a chance to apprentice. I'm about to go to the Elixir Alliance to find Master Xia and accept the introductory disciple assessment. ”

Lin Yanran smiled slightly and explained, "Young Master Lin, do you want to go with me?"

She could see that Lin Cheng was now in a state where he could move freely, and he no longer had to rest in bed like he had done two days ago. Of course, if Lin Cheng went with her, Xia Zhen might be able to reduce the difficulty of the disciple assessment a little bit for Lin Yuan's sake.

It's definitely good for her.

For Lin Yanran's proposal, Lin Cheng happily accepted. He had been stuffy in this room for days, just in time to get some air. Moreover, he also wanted to go to Xia Zhen to get back the high-grade Xuanqi Qingyun Sword.

At that time, Lin Cheng was seriously injured and unconscious, and Xia Zhen saw that the grade of the Qingyun Sword was not low, so he kept it on his behalf. Now that the Qingyun Sword is still in the Elixir Alliance, it's time for Lin Cheng to retrieve it.

So, Lin Cheng followed Lin Yanran to the Elixir Alliance.

"Sister Yanran, such a coincidence, you also came to the Elixir Alliance?"

Surprisingly, as soon as they walked to the gate of the Elixir Alliance, they ran into an acquaintance. Meng Tao, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, coincidentally came to the Elixir Alliance at this point in time.

"Well, it was Master Xia who asked me to come. ”

Lin Yanran nodded slightly.

"Oh, Master Xia finally agreed to take you as an apprentice?"

Hearing this, Meng Tao's eyes lit up: "I'll just say that Sister Yanran, you are very talented, and Master Xia will naturally not miss this opportunity." ”

From the moment he appeared, his eyes and attention were completely on Lin Yanran, and Lin Yan was completely ignored by him. He naturally recognized that Lin Cheng was the seriously injured young man who was rescued by Xia Zhen that day.

However, in his opinion, although Lin Cheng had some great luck and was favored by Xia Zhen, he was still not qualified to be taken by him. He could see at a glance that Lin Cheng was just a low-level cultivation of the eighth grade of refining power, and it was not worth mentioning at all.

Of course, he hadn't considered the possibility that Lin Cheng was an elixir master like him.

But if it was an elixir master, with Lin Yuan's age, it would not be much different from him. And among the younger generation of elixir masters in Beiguanfu City, he Meng Tao recognized the second, and no one dared to recognize the first!

He also has this qualification to despise Lin Fall!

Regarding Meng Tao's ignorant attitude, Lin Cheng didn't care. Anyway, the two don't know each other, and there is no need for him to be angry about the other party's contemptuous attitude, it will only make people feel naΓ―ve.

"Lin Xiaoyou, it seems that you have recovered well, and you will be able to act in just two days. ”

The three of them walked into the Elixir Alliance together, and soon they met Xia Zhen. Meng Tao was about to greet Xia Zhen, but after Xia Zhen saw Lin Yan, he directly greeted him warmly.

This made Meng Tao, who was about to salute, freeze his hands in mid-air, looking a little embarrassed.

"Thank you Master Xia for your concern. ”

Lin Cheng smiled slightly, he could see that Xia Zhen really cared about him from the bottom of his heart. He is like this, others respect him for three points, and he will return ten points to the other party.

And vice versa.

"Heh, you're here to get your sword, aren't you?"

Xia Zhen saw Lin Yan's intention, and he smiled: "Please wait for a while, and when Yanran's assessment is over, I will take you to get it." ”

"Good. ”

Lin Cheng was not in a hurry, with Xia Zhen's identity, it was naturally impossible to hack his Qingyun Sword. Even if Xia Zhen was really interested in the Qingyun Sword, Lin Cheng wouldn't mind giving it to him.

After all, his life was saved by the other party.

It is worth mentioning that Meng Tao, who has been ignored aside, is a little unhappy. He couldn't understand that as the number one genius elixir master in Beiguanfu City, in Xia Zhen's eyes, he was not as good as a Lin Cheng? What's more, his master Dai Zong was also a sixth-grade elixir master, and this identity alone was enough to make those big names in Beiguanfu City line up to slap him.

For a while, the unhappiness in his heart towards Lin Cheng deepened a little again.

Under Xia Zhen's leadership, the three of them were brought into an alchemy room dedicated to assessing the ability of the elixir master. Lin Cheng clearly remembered that last time he was also here for the elixir master qualification certification.

"Yanran, let's refine a furnace of your best elixir here. ”

Xia Zhen said lightly.

The thing that can test the elixir master's own ability is the process of alchemy. As long as Lin Yanran refined the elixir once in front of Xia Zhen, he could see that Lin Yanran had the talent and qualifications in the profession of elixir master.

"Yes, Master Xia. ”

Lin Yanran calmed down her nervous mood for a while, and she took out the alchemy materials she had prepared in advance from the brocade box. Then, she followed the most basic alchemy steps and meticulously screened and distributed those medicinal materials.

"Yanran, you must pay attention to the amount of Houttuynia cordata!"

Meng Tao couldn't help but remind Lin Yanran.

As everyone knows, as soon as he said this, Xia Zhen and Lin Yanran both glanced at him with frowns and frowns. Especially Xia Zhen, he warned with a displeased expression: "If you really want her to pass the test, you shouldn't make a noise to disturb her." ”

Alchemy is a matter that requires full attention for any elixir master, and there is no room for distraction.

Meng Tao's sudden voice was definitely a disturbance to Lin Yan's words, not a help. After being warned by Xia Zhen like this, Meng Tao's face froze, and he suddenly laughed a little dryly.

"Even such a simple mistake will be made, it seems that this apprentice of Lao Dai has been blinded by his so-called talent. ”

Xia Zhen sneered secretly.

The path of the elixir master is naturally extremely talented. But in addition to this, the stability of the mind will also play a vital role. In Xia Zhen's opinion, he would rather accept a mediocre talent with blunt qualifications, but he attaches great importance to alchemy, rather than accept a genius who is impetuous, arrogant and proud.

Wow.

About half an hour later, Lin Yanran finally succeeded in refining a furnace of elixir. What she refined was a first-grade pill forging bone pill, a furnace of ten pills, and five of the pills had a pill pattern on them.

Lin Yanran couldn't help but smile in surprise, such an achievement was already her extraordinary performance.

"Well, that's good. ”

A look of hesitation flashed in Xia Zhen's eyes, although it was still far from Lin Yan's demonic elixir master, but this Lin Yanran was also a middle-class elixir master.

The most rare thing is that the caution and caution that Lin Yanran showed in the process of alchemy were very much in line with Xia Zhen's intentions. In this world, even if their qualifications are not good enough, there are many people who can walk out of their own way.

It's just that his standards for accepting apprentices have always been very strict, and if this weren't the case, he wouldn't have been unable to receive satisfactory apprentices. Therefore, his heart was hesitating whether to accept Lin Yanran at the moment.

"Master Xia, can I interject a word before you make a decision?"

It seemed that seeing Xia Zhen's hesitation, Lin Zhen's heart moved, and said.

Lin Xiaoyou has something to say. ”

Xia Zhen nodded.

"In this world, there are actually many elixir masters who are not talented and qualified, but they can still become a qualified elixir master in the end. Master Xia, what do you think is the reason for?"

Lin Yan smiled, "If it is from my point of view, I think it is their enthusiasm and dedication to the profession of elixir master that has been urging them to redouble their efforts until they catch up with those geniuses. ”

Although he has systematic cheating support for alchemy, there is no need to learn and practice the alchemy skills of those elixir masters at all. But even he, a layman, could vaguely feel the latter's dedication to alchemy from Lin Yanran's alchemy process.

"This ......"

Xia Zhen's expression was slightly stunned, and immediately, he smiled knowingly and said: "What Lin Xiaoyou said is reasonable, it seems that I am indeed too obsessed with talent and qualifications. ”

In fact, Xia Zhen was also an elixir master with mediocre qualifications when he was young, and it was with this perseverance and hard work that he got all the way to where he is today. It is precisely because he knows the hardships that he has always wanted to accept a disciple with excellent qualifications and avoid following his old path.

But now, he has changed his mind.

"Master Xia, have I passed the assessment?"

At this time, Lin Yanran looked nervous, and her little hands hidden behind her back twisted her skirt a little uneasily.

"Although your qualifications are not as good as those geniuses, I am very satisfied with your enthusiasm and attitude in alchemy. Yanran, from today onwards, you will worship under my door. ”

Xia Zhen nodded and said with a smile.

It is worth mentioning that when he said the word "genius", he also glanced at Meng Tao intentionally or unintentionally.

"Yanran, meet Master!"

Hearing this, Lin Yanran was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly gave Xia Zhen a master-apprentice gift. Xia Zhen unslowly helped Lin Yanran up, and a satisfied smile appeared in his eyes.

"Miss Yanran, congratulations. ”

Seeing that Lin Yanran got what she wanted, Lin Yan sent his congratulations in a timely manner.

"This is all thanks to Lin Gongzi's blessing. ”

Lin Yanran smiled like a flower, and her words came from the heart.

She could naturally see that if it weren't for Lin Yuan, Xia Zhen might not agree to accept her as an apprentice.

"That's right. Lin Gongzi, your injuries have not healed, and you haven't even taken today's medicine. When you get your sword, let's go back as soon as possible, if we delay your recovery from your injuries, it will be troublesome. ”

Lin Yanran said softly.

Lin Cheng nodded, but he knew that his injuries were no longer a big deal. No matter how good the medicine is, it can't compare to the Demon Heaven Xuandian, and all he needs now is time to heal his injuries.

"This bastard...... I don't know where the wild boy came from, but he dares to be so close to Yanran?!"

Looking at Lin Yanran's soft gaze at Lin Yanran, Meng Tao's heart was full of jealousy. You must know that Lin Yanran has never used that kind of attitude against him, and he has been ignored since he entered the Elixir Alliance today.

How could he, who was accustomed to being the center of attention on weekdays, accept it?

So, he put this resentment and unwillingness on Lin Cheng's account!
