Chapter 266: Chapter 266: Alchemy Prodigy_1

"Ling Xiao!"

Just as he was pondering, he suddenly heard someone calling out.

Ling Xiao recognized the voice immediately; it was undoubtedly Dai Yuling’s.

At this moment, Dai Yuling was learning how to use her Martial Soul to cultivate medicinal herbs from a beautiful elder sister.

It was only today that Ling Xiao found out that Dai Yuling’s Martial Soul was actually a type of spiritual herb, the specific name of which he couldn’t recall.

However, what surprised him was that the previously Broken Martial Soul had now become complete.

Even though it was still a Transparent Body, it markedly enhanced Dai Yuling’s strength compared to before.

"Dai Yuling!"

Ling Xiao and Dai Yuling were used to addressing each other by their names, so he didn’t think there was anything inappropriate about it.

On the other hand, the beautiful sister next to her frowned slightly.

"Elder Master Yang, is this the genius you mentioned?"

"Lan Yu’er, you really shouldn’t look down on him. This child’s perception is so keen, I’m afraid it’s even more formidable than yours."

Lan Yu’er seemed to be around sixteen or seventeen years old, probably not much older than Ling Xiao, but her cultivation level was frighteningly high.

Ling Xiao couldn’t determine her exact realm, but he estimated it was not lower than Hei Suo’s.

"Is that so?"

Lan Yu’er glanced at Ling Xiao, her icy pupils showing no trace of color.

There was no contempt in her eyes, nor any sign of surprise, as if she didn’t care at all.

Ling Xiao had seen this kind of gaze before; it represented absolute confidence and strength, an aloofness that seemed to ignore everyone, not specifically directed at him.

Since she ignored Ling Xiao, he couldn’t be bothered to pay her any attention either.

She may have been a beauty, but Ling Xiao truly didn’t want to befriend a block of ice; that would be utterly uncomfortable.

"Who would have thought, Ling Xiao, that you also have a talent for Alchemy? I really didn’t see it before."

Dai Yuling said with a touch of surprise.

"Do you two know each other?"

Elder Master Yang glanced at Ling Xiao and asked.

"She and I are both Martial Artists from Baiyun Province; we used to be senior sister and junior brother."

Ling Xiao explained.

"Elder Master Yang, my junior brother here is incredibly capable. When he first arrived at Hidden Dragon Camp, his cultivation was much weaker than mine, but now his cultivation has already surpassed mine. I must say, he is the most perceptive Martial Artist I have ever seen; you have a good eye."

Dai Yuling, seemingly familiar with Elder Master Yang, spoke quite casually.

In fact, Ling Xiao was unaware that Dai Yuling had also been specifically requested by Elder Master Yang and Sister Lan Yu’er; naturally, they had known each other for some time.

"Yuling, there’s no need to feel inferior. Learn well under my tutelage, and your cultivation will only surpass his."

Lan Yu’er suddenly interjected.

This woman was indeed proud, unable to tolerate others surpassing her, and she even couldn’t stand others surpassing her disciples.

However, at the age of sixteen or seventeen, she was already qualified to take on disciples; Lan Yu’er’s status within the Moon Hua Sect must be significant indeed.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you, young fellow. This is your Sister Lan Yu’er. She’s quite remarkable, you know; at the age of sixteen, she has reached the Transcendent Nine Layers, and also possesses extraordinary Alchemist talent, which is why she’s also one of the Vice Hall Masters of the Pharmacy Hall."

Elder Master Yang introduced her to Ling Xiao with a smile.

My heavens, did this girl start cultivating from the womb? With a cultivation at the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm, she isn’t far behind Elder Master Yang, and she probably ranks among the best even among the Inner Sect Disciples.

Although this woman is arrogant, she indeed has reasons to be so.

He raised his head and cast his gaze upon Lan Yu’er once more, now with a touch of admiration.

He would never bow down to beauty, but he always gave due admiration to those with real abilities.

"Sister Lan is the true genius, my abilities are laughable in comparison."

Ling Xiao said, cupping his fist in salute.

"As long as you know," Lan Yu’er replied indifferently, then asked, "Elder Master Yang has always praised your perception in front of me, and even Yuling always says how powerful you are, but the knowledge in alchemy and medicine is vast. It’s not something you can just learn by muddling through. If you’re just looking to scrape by, I advise you to give up the idea early."

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Sister Lan needn’t worry about that. Although I, Ling Xiao, have never dabbled in alchemy or understood anything about medicinal theory, I do have quite a bit of confidence that nothing is too difficult for me to handle."

His words were not mere bragging, for with Mountain and River Martial Soul, what could possibly stump him?

If he were truly willing to learn, he feared that his attainments wouldn’t be any less than anyone present, it was merely a matter of time.

Lan Yu’er frowned slightly; she didn’t like the tone Ling Xiao was using, as if mastering alchemy and medicine were easy feats.

If it were so easy, then there wouldn’t be so few alchemists in the world.

"Elder Master Yang, from what I see, your disciple seems to be a bit impetuous, proudly speaking big words without knowing a bit of medicinal theory. Have you really taken him as a disciple?"

Lan Yu’er turned to ask Elder Master Yang.

"Not yet!"

Elder Master Yang answered.

"That’s good, Elder Master Yang, you are still cautious."

Lan Yu’er nodded, feeling this to be normal.

"Little Lan, you misunderstood. It’s not that I’m cautious, but this lad refuses to acknowledge me as his master to the death. There’s no helping it, so I’ve temporarily taken him in to work as a pharmacy assistant."

Elder Master Yang sighed, "To speak the truth, I truly don’t have the qualifications to be his master."

"What!"

Lan Yu’er’s usually calm expression showed a significant amount of surprise.

Who is Elder Master Yang?

He is the most outstanding alchemist of the Moon Hua Sect. Not to mention other aspects, in alchemy and medicine alone, if he isn’t qualified to teach Ling Xiao, then who is?

"Elder Master Yang, aren’t you joking a bit too much? There are several disciples with greater potential than Ling Xiao in the same period, and his strength is even weaker. What qualifications does he have to refuse you as his master? What is he relying on?"

Lan Yu’er couldn’t help raising her voice.

"Hehe, Little Lan, don’t be unconvinced. I’ve seen countless geniuses, and there might be many who are stronger in cultivation than this lad, but when it comes to perception, he dares to claim second place, and no one would dare to claim the first, not even I. With such a promising seedling, I wouldn’t want to scare him away. It’s okay if he doesn’t want to become a disciple, I’m happy to have him around," Elder Master Yang chuckled.

Elder Master Yang chuckled.

Lan Yu’er was dumbfounded, for with her keen eye and experience, she really couldn’t see anything exceptional about Ling Xiao.

But that was normal. Although she was powerful, she was ultimately only sixteen years old, far behind Elder Master Yang in terms of experience and knowledge.

Could this lad truly possess some special quality?

With this thought, Lan Yu’er actually grew a little more interested in Ling Xiao.

Of course, it was just a little interest. Whether he was worth her attention or not would depend on his future performance.

"Little Lan, I brought Ling Xiao here today partly to familiarize him with the environment and partly to trouble you to give him some guidance. You know, I’m too busy to teach him the basics," Elder Master Yang said with a smile.

"Since Elder Master Yang has put it this way, Lan Yu’er naturally cannot refuse."
