Seeing Chu Ning’s actions at this mont, He Yanmao, Yuan Rongzhang, Su Yuqing, and Xu Minghua all couldn’t help but gape.
"Nine pills! Senior Brother Chu, you actually ford nine pills!"
Among the four, He Yanmao, who had the deepest research on the Jiuhua Essence Condensing Pill, was the first to shout.
anwhile, Ling Cang’s eyes flashed slightly, taking another deep look at Chu Ning, and he sighed:
"Nine pills! Nephew Chu, you have once again surprised in a delightful way.
I initially thought, since you could perfect this Fire Control Technique, the pill formation success rate should be over eighty percent.
Yet I didn’t expect it would reach a full hundred percent!"
At this mont, Ling Cang shook his head, his eyes filled with surprise, accompanied by a hint of excitent.
"It seems your talent in alchemy far exceeds my expectations.
Having talent yet knowing how to conceal it, very good, you truly deserve the position of chief steward of alchemy."
Speaking, he once again looked at the sowhat dazed Yuan Rongzhang and the others, sighed slightly, and said:
"I’ve been in charge of the Alchemy Pavilion for over a hundred years, and no one’s alchemy technique has made significant progress, which is my fault.
In this ten-year secluded cultivation, I too have been considering this issue.
People used to say I was stubborn, obstinate, and protective. This ti, I want everyone to see that I, Ling Cang, know how to adapt."
He pointed at Chu Ning as he continued:
"By promoting Chu Ning to chief steward, I want to tell the cultivators in the Alchemy Pavilion.
The Alchemy Pavilion respects the alchemy technique. As long as one’s alchemy technique improves, they can gain the corresponding status and respect!
Of course, this includes resources."
Ling Cang’s gaze swept across the five people, including Chu Ning.
"If one day, soone in the pavilion believes their alchemy technique surpasses Chu Ning’s, they can propose an alchemy competition to contest for the position of chief steward!
Even if I won’t see it in my lifeti, I hope that one day, our Jiuhua Sect’s alchemy technique can once again reach its peak and command respect across the Western Alliance Continent!"
Upon hearing Ling Cang’s words, among the five, only Chu Ning’s expression remained relatively calm.
The other four were sowhat moved.
And after saying these impassioned words, Ling Cang didn’t care about the expressions of the five and continued:
"Nephew Chu may stand as chief steward, but in the future, the specific affairs within the pavilion will still be managed by Nephew He and Nephew Xu.
Chu Ning, Yuan Rongzhang, Yuqing, I hope the three of you understand my efforts and focus on alchemy cultivation to revive the reputation of our Jiuhua Sect’s Alchemy Pavilion."
Then, Ling Cang looked at Chu Ning and said:
"You four may go first, I still have a few words to say with Master Chu."
"Disciple takes my leave!" Hearing Ling Cang’s words, the four quickly bowed and took their leave.
Once there were only two of them left, Ling Cang spoke again:
"Nephew Chu, Senior Brother Gong has already told about your matters.
Since you are willing to cut ties with the past and join the Jiuhua Sect’s Alchemy Pavilion, from now on, you are one of Jiuhua Sect.
You may not feel a strong sense of belonging now, but we can also make a deal."
Saying this, Ling Cang’s gaze was locked tightly on Chu Ning:
"I will provide you with all the cultivation resources you need, and you just need to agree to help flourish the alchemy technique of Jiuhua Sect!"
Chu Ning only now realized that this Golden Core Cultivator, Ling Cang, had already seen through everything.
Not only did he see through the strengths and weaknesses of the few people in the Alchemy Pavilion, but he also discerned so of Chu Ning’s thoughts at the first encounter.
A truly wise elder.
Chu Ning couldn’t help but marvel at this mont.
Indeed, although Ling Cang’s previous words had moved the four stewards of the Alchemy Pavilion.
Chu Ning, however, remained relatively calm.
After all, he had not been in the Jiuhua Sect for long, and his past experiences made him not fully trust such a Major Sect.
Therefore, he would not be stirred by Ling Cang’s words to passionately devote himself to the sect.
At this mont, as Chu Ning pondered, he did not imdiately agree, but instead asked in so doubt:
"Why does Junior Martial Uncle Ling trust this disciple so much? Are you not afraid that the disciple might take the benefits without delivering, unwilling to contribute to Jiuhua Sect in the future?"
Ling Cang chuckled and shook his head, "Of course I’m afraid!
However, since Nephew Chu has already helped perfect the Fire Control Technique for the Jiuhua Essence Condensing Pill, the resources given to you during this ti are already enough to offset that.
And I believe as long as you are provided with enough cultivation resources, you naturally won’t neglect contributing to the sect in terms of alchemy.
As for the long-term future..."
Ling Cang said this, then laughed and said:
"You’ve been in the sect for only a short period, Nephew Chu, but I believe that as long as you stay longer, you will grow fond of Jiuhua Sect."
Chu Ning looked at Ling Cang with so doubt.
However, the latter just smiled silently and said no more.
After thinking for a while, Chu Ning nodded and said, "Rest assured, Junior Martial Uncle Ling, if it’s only about the study of alchemy techniques, this disciple will surely do his best."
These words from Chu Ning were sincere, although he held the Essentials of Spirit Pill, the rare Heaven and Earth Spiritual dicine required for higher grade elixirs was increasingly difficult to find.
And if he had the support of the Jiuhua Sect’s Alchemy Pavilion’s resources, it would certainly relieve many concerns.
For Chu Ning, who wanted to find a stable place to cultivate peacefully, this was indeed an ideal place.
Moreover, the alchemy technique of the Jiuhua Sect also had its uniqueness.
Helping the Jiuhua Sect revive its alchemy path ultimately also improved Chu Ning’s own alchemy skills.
Hearing Chu Ning’s agreent, Ling Cang nodded and smiled:
"Good, it’s settled then. I believe this will be a fortunate event for both you, Nephew Chu, and the Jiuhua Sect."
