Xia An’an stared blankly at Xu Wendong, though she didn’t know what roast chicken was.
But one thing was obvious.
Roast chicken was definitely tastier than instant noodles.
"Wendong!"
At this mont, Wuming walked out from the bamboo house and said earnestly, "Your talent in cultivation and alchemy is astounding. It’s not an exaggeration to say it is unprecedented."
"Although I am your ntor, I don’t know how to teach you."
"Yes, I don’t know how to guide you through your practices, but as your ntor, I still want to say, please, can you just act like a decent person?"
"Let’s not forget our humanity!"
He wanted to matchmake Xu Wendong and Xia An’an, but this guy was just too over the top.
He didn’t have a gentleman’s deanor at all.
"Master, I was just joking," Xu Wendong replied with an awkward laugh. He certainly hadn’t intended to treat Xia An’an differently; he just found the Elixir Sect’s young lady amusingly naive.
Then he took out two vacuum-packed roast chickens, opened them, and handed one to each person.
After breakfast,
Xu Wendong headed to the Affairs Office of the Sect, wanting to be certified as a Senior Alchemist. With this title, he could gain many benefits.
Xia An’an, feeling bored, followed behind Xu Wendong and began to introduce the Elixir Sect to him. The Elixir Sect had two sect leaders, nine elders, and over three thousand disciples.
The highest cultivation level was held by a Golden Core Stage Peak expert.
Besides that, all nine elders were Golden Core Period Experts, with formidable strength.
In the midst of their conversation,
the two of them arrived at the Elixir Sect’s Affairs Office. At this mont, many disciples had gathered there because they had all heard that Yang Fan was about to be certified as a Senior Alchemist.
Yang Fan was a prodigy, one of the seven disciples of the Sect Leader. His certification as a Senior Alchemist was a grand event for the entire sect.
So, it was no surprise that it drew a crowd.
"Junior Sister, you actually ca to watch get certified as a Senior Alchemist? I’m truly honored. Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you." Seeing Xia An’an appear, Yang Fan’s eyes were filled with excitent.
Previously, he had a fifty percent chance of becoming a Senior Alchemist, but with Xia An’an’s appearance, his odds of success increased by at least twenty percent.
The disciples of the Elixir Sect looked at Xia An’an with excitent and admiration. After all, she was the sect’s precious gem, beloved by all.
However, Xia An’an remained indifferent: "Don’t flatter yourself, I’m accompanying Junior Brother Xu here for his alchemist certification."
"·······"
Yang Fan’s smile froze instantly.
He thought Xia An’an ca to cheer for him.
But he never imagined that she was actually here accompanying Xu Wendong for his alchemist certification.
This was hard enough for him to accept, let alone that he announced it in front of everyone.
She really didn’t care about his reputation one bit!
Yang Fan wanted to cry.
But mostly, he felt anger.
He wanted to beat Xu Wendong; if it weren’t for him, he wouldn’t be embarrassed in front of everyone like this!
Others looked at Xu Wendong with surprise written all over their faces.
Because they had absolutely no idea who this guy was and were curious about his identity.
Especially... why was he so close to the young lady?
One must know, the Sect Leader had seven inner chamber disciples. Among them, six were males, all prodigies of the younger generation, and all very fond of the young lady.
Yet, she was never particularly responsive to them.
So why did Xu Wendong gain the young lady’s favor?
"Junior Xu Wendong, pays respect to the Seventh Elder!" Xu Wendong arrived at the Elixir Sect’s Affairs Office and respectfully saluted a glamorous woman appearing in her thirties.
The woman wore a black long dress, exuding an elegant and noble aura.
"I’ve heard the Third Elder ntion you. eting you today, you truly are impressive." The Seventh Elder, Ye Lan, showed a gentle smile that was irresistibly captivating.
Xu Wendong politely responded, "You flatter , Seventh Elder!"
Ye Lan produced a wooden token for Xu Wendong: "Here, you may go and refine the elixir. As long as you can refine a Qi Refining Pill with five pill patterns, you can beco a basic Alchemist of the Elixir Sect."
Xu Wendong replied, "Seventh Elder, I’m here to certify as a Senior Alchemist."
"What?" Ye Lan’s pupils trembled; even though she had long mastered remaining unperturbed, she thought she was hearing things: "Are you sure you want to certify as a Senior Alchemist?"
Not only was Ye Lan stunned,
but Xia An’an and the onlooking disciples also felt a chill down their spines.
Senior Alchemists were extrely rare.
Even in the entire Elixir Sect, the number of Senior Alchemists didn’t exceed twenty.
Furthermore, only three from the younger generation had beco Senior Alchemists. All three were prized disciples of the Sect Leader, showing just how challenging it was to beco a Senior Alchemist.
If Xu Wendong were certifying as a basic Alchemist, they could have accepted it.
But he aid for Senior Alchemist; who could bear that?
"Junior Brother Xu, are you kidding?" Xia An’an regained her composure from the shock, her expression grave: "Only by refining the Foundation Establishnt Pill can one beco a Senior Alchemist. You only joined the Third Elder the day before yesterday. Are you sure you can refine the Foundation Establishnt Pill?"
Yang Fan sneered, "If he can refine the Foundation Establishnt Pill, I’ll eat shit in public!"
Earlier, he hadn’t had a chance to humiliate Xu Wendong.
And now.
Wasn’t opportunity knocking on his door?
He had to seize it!
He looked at Xu Wendong, his disdain unmasked, and said coldly, "Junior Brother Xu, I don’t know what gives you the courage to certify as a Senior Alchemist, but I still have to say alchemy is not child’s play."
"If you don’t have respect for it, I advise you to return to the mundane world to cultivate as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing that Xu Wendong ca from the mundane world, the onlooking cultivators also looked at him with contempt. In their eyes, a cultivator from the mundane world was not worthy of refining elixirs or being a disciple of the Elixir Sect.
Likewise, they didn’t believe a mundane cultivator could refine the Foundation Establishnt Pill.
Xu Wendong ignored Yang Fan and smiled at Ye Lan, the mature beauty responsible for the certification.
Even if others didn’t believe in him, as long as Ye Lan allowed him to certify as a Senior Alchemist, the attitude of others was irrelevant.
"Should I believe in you?" Ye Lan smiled bewitchingly.
She felt the man before her was arrogant.
But he exuded an inexplicable confidence.
This confidence intrigued her.
Xu Wendong smiled and said, "I believe the Seventh Elder has a discerning eye and will undoubtedly give this junior a chance to prove himself."
Yang Fan laughed heartily on the side, "Seventh Elder, please give him a chance. After all, I really want to eat shit!"
