Chapter 386: Chapter 386: Friends?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingxue’s pretty face showed a hint of a smile and said, "Junior Brother Ling, you’ve asked the right person."

She is a Divine Thought Master and also an Artifact Refiner.

Having joined the Academic Palace for a long time, she has a good understanding of the professions related to Divine Thought Masters.

This Alchemy, after all, is just one direction for Divine Thought Masters.

"Please enlighten me, Senior Sister!"

Ling Chen immediately gave a slight bow.

His goal in finding a third-tier top-notch Alchemist was to concoct elixirs that assist in Cultivation. These two types of elixirs can’t be concocted by anyone but a third-tier top-notch Alchemist.

"Sure thing."

Jiang Yingxue beamed a smile, her face lighting up with curiosity, "I wonder what kind of elixirs you want to concoct that require such a high-level Alchemist?"

Ling Chen didn’t answer; instead, he asked, "Senior Sister, are you very familiar with elixirs?"

"I know a little."

Jiang Yingxue nodded.

Ling Chen smiled and said, "Actually, there’s nothing that can’t be said. The two elixirs I want to concoct are one that enhances Spiritual Power Cultivation Speed and one that enhances Cultivators’ perceptive abilities."

"What?"

Jiang Yingxue’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise, as she had never heard of such miraculous elixirs.

Ordinary elixirs, even third-tier ones, could at most enhance Spiritual Power, but how could they accelerate Cultivation Speed?

As for enhancing perceptive abilities, that was unheard of!

"Is that not so?"

Ling Chen was taken aback.

He knew of these two types of elixirs from inherited memories.

They are of third-tier elixir level, which a third-tier top-notch Alchemist should be able to successfully concoct.

Jiang Yingxue then reacted, quickly saying, "No, I’m not very familiar with elixirs related to Spiritual Power. Maybe I just haven’t heard of them."

"Oh."

Ling Chen nodded.

After all, Jiang Yingxue is an Artifact Refiner, so it’s normal for her not to know.

He looked at Jiang Yingxue again and smiled, "Senior Sister, why don’t you give me that person’s information, and I can go find him myself?"

"Junior Brother, I’d better take you there myself! That person is quite eccentric, and without me leading you, you might not even get to see him."

Jiang Yingxue said.

"Alright!"

Ling Chen nodded lightly, "Then I’ll trouble you, Senior Sister."

Divine Thought Masters are already rare, and those who become Alchemists are even fewer; not to mention a third-tier top-notch one, which is almost the highest level of Alchemist in the Great Xia.

"Junior Brother, why be so formal with me."

Jiang Yingxue waved her hand.

"Mm."

Ling Chen nodded.

"By the way, Senior Sister, does our Jiangxing Academic Palace really not have any high-level high-grade Divine Thought Master among the students?"

Ling Chen voiced his confusion.

Today, at the gang initiation ceremony, even the Gang Leader of the ’Ice Frost’ which only recruits Divine Thought Masters came.

However, from his sensing, that person was also merely at the mid-stage of the Hua Realm.

A top Academic Palace within the Great Xia Dynasty, not having even one Hua Realm late-stage Divine Thought Master, truly puzzling!

However, among the tutors and Elders in the Academic Palace, there exist high-level high-grade Divine Thought Masters, which is somewhat baffling.

Jiang Yingxue forced a smile, "I find that quite strange too. I remember when I first joined the Academic Palace, there were high-level high-grade Divine Thought Master students present."

"But thereafter, for some unknown reason, those high-grade Divine Thought Masters suddenly disappeared when dispatched on missions."

"The strength of the high-level high-grade Divine Thought Masters is exceedingly strong. Ordinary Cultivators couldn’t possibly contend with them. Yet, they vanished without a trace."

"It is said, the Academic Palace once sent out many powerful figures to investigate, but not a single trace was found. Those people, it was as if they evaporated from existence."

"Not only our Jiangxing Academic Palace, but the Wangxing Academic Palace is the same!"

Hearing Jiang Yingxue’s description, Ling Chen fell into deep contemplation.

Could it be that there exists a King Grade Divine Thought Master in Great Xia who can silently make high-level high-grade Divine Thought Masters disappear?

Otherwise, when the top-level Divine Thought Masters encounter enemies, they will definitely resist and clash, inevitably leaving some traces.

"Could it be..."

A flash of inspiration struck Ling Chen’s mind.

Jiang Qingxue told her senior sister Jiang Yingxue to pass a message asking them to not promote to top-level Divine Thought Masters in the Academic Palace as much as possible, could she know something...

"It seems, I really do need to see Jiang Qingxue!"

Ling Chen thought to himself.

Although he had some speculations, Ling Chen still indifferently said: "Hmm, I understand. Even the important figures in the Academic Palace do not understand, so I shouldn’t dwell on such minor matters."

"Hmm, let the Palace Master worry about these things."

Jiang Yingxue nodded and responded.

"It’s getting late, you should go back to rest, senior sister."

Ling Chen said to Jiang Yingxue.

"Okay!"

Jiang Yingxue smiled and said: "Tomorrow morning, I’ll come to find you and take you to meet that person."

"Thank you, senior sister."

Ling Chen replied.

The next day.

Jiang Yingxue led Ling Chen to a corner in the northeast of the Academic Palace.

"Is this really where that Alchemist lives?"

Ling Chen’s mouth twitched.

Before them lay a ruin with a thatched hut at the center. Around it grew wild grass taller than a man.

"Of course."

Jiang Yingxue smiled and said: "This person isn’t particular about much. However, his Alchemy Technique is famous within the Great Xia Dynasty."

As they spoke, they approached the thatched hut.

"Elder Jiang, I’ve come to see you!"

Jiang Yingxue’s right hand flashed with light, and a roasted chicken exuding a tempting aroma appeared in her hand.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a figure darted out from the thatched hut and snatched the roasted chicken.

It was a shabbily dressed old man.

His eyes lit up, staring intently at the roasted chicken, then he stuck out his tongue and thoroughly licked the chicken.

Especially the chicken’s rear, which he licked most carefully, going over it three times.

"Mmm, so delicious!"

He made noises from time to time.

"Is he really an Alchemist?"

Ling Chen rolled his eyes.

Where does this guy have the demeanor of an Alchemist?

Clearly, he resembles more a beggar!

After licking the chicken, the old man then chuckled and looked at Ling Chen, saying: "Yo, guests, offering you some roasted chicken?"

Saying this, he proudly offered the roasted chicken to Ling Chen.

"No thanks, I don’t like chicken!"

Ling Chen quickly shook his head.

"Is that so? That’s a pity, Jiang Yingxue’s roasted chicken is a heavenly delight. Looks like you won’t have the chance to taste it."

With that, his eyes lit up again, and he began chewing on the chicken.

In no more than a hundred breaths, the old man had swallowed the chicken whole, and then, after licking the grease off his fingers clean, he lay contentedly on a broken wall, squinting at Jiang Yingxue.

"Tell me, Yingxue girl, what brings you here to find me?"

The old man said while picking his teeth with his fingers.

"Elder Jiang!"

Jiang Yingxue quickly smiled and said: "My friend here admires your Alchemy skills and would like to request you to refine some Elixirs for him."

"A friend, huh?"

The old man glanced at Ling Chen sideways and waved his hand, declaring: "I’ll never refine Elixirs for your friend in this lifetime."
