At that moment, Yun Yun pressed herself against Ning Luo.

She taught Ning Luo by demonstrating the sword art.

As Ning Luo demonstrated the sword art, he felt the softness and warmth against his back.

At that moment, Ning Luo's Heavenly Evolution Art continuously recorded the combat technique he was practicing.

The Heavenly Evolution Art could evolve all kinds of combat techniques, so it continuously practiced the technique, imprinting the combat technique Master Yun Yun had taught him into Ning Luo's heart.

After demonstrating a full set of sword techniques,

Ning Luo felt extremely satisfied.

Once he had finished, Yun Yun looked at Ning Luo and asked, "How was it? Did you remember it?"

Ning Luo nodded.

"I remembered it, Master!"

Yun Yun looked at Ning Luo, stepped aside, and said calmly, "All right, practice it once by yourself!"

Ning Luo immediately activated the Heavenly Evolution Art and continuously recalled the sword moves Master had taught him earlier. In an instant, he became calm and composed, his movements following his intent.

With a light sweep of the longsword in his hand, sword qi burst forth with razor-sharp edge.

At that moment, Yun Yun was utterly shocked.

Earlier, this kid Ning Luo had not even been able to practice the Azure Wood Sword Art.

How had he become so proficient in the Azure Wood Sword Art after such a short time? At that moment, the longsword in Ning Luo's hand rose of its own accord, every move and stance immensely profound.

In an instant, he moved. A sword strike shot forth, seeming both incredibly fast and incredibly slow, yet the entire sword art flowed as naturally as if it had been forged by heaven itself, without the slightest flaw!

As his sword moves grew faster and faster, his entire body seemed to transform into a sword, continuously darting about the field. Sword shadows flashed in succession, sword qi shot in every direction, and its power was more than several times greater than before! "Azure Wood Sword Art!"

With Ning Luo's furious shout, a burst of sword qi erupted and slammed into a huge boulder.

Boom—

A thunderous explosion rang out.

The enormous boulder shattered with a crash.

At that moment,

Yun Yun's eyes were filled with astonishment.

She could hardly believe it.

Was this really her disciple? How had he become like a completely different person from before?

"Master, is this right?" Ning Luo looked at Yun Yun and asked.

Yun Yun hurriedly nodded. "That's right. This is how the sword art is performed."

"Only..."

"Only what?" Ning Luo asked.

"Xiao Luo, you couldn't even perform the Azure Wood Sword Art just now. How did you become so skilled after I taught it to you once?" Yun Yun voiced her doubt.

Ning Luo chuckled.

"Isn't that because Master taught me so well?"

As Ning Luo spoke, his gaze lowered to Master Yun Yun's towering peaks.

It had to be said, Master's were much bigger than Junior Sister's.

Only then did Yun Yun remember that when she had taught Ning Luo the sword art earlier, she had been pressed against him.

A faint blush immediately appeared on Yun Yun's face.

"Practice your sword properly. No fooling around!" Yun Yun said coldly.

"Yes, Master!"

Ning Luo quickly replied.

After Ning Luo had finished practicing his sword,

Yun Yun looked at Ning Luo and asked, "Xiao Luo, are you interested in becoming an Alchemist?"

"An Alchemist?"

Ning Luo naturally knew what an Alchemist meant in the world of Battle Through the Heavens.

As the name implied, Alchemists could refine all sorts of miraculous pills that enhanced one's strength. Every Alchemist would be desperately courted by every major faction at any cost, and their status was extremely exalted! Of course Ning Luo wanted to become an Alchemist.

Moreover, he had also checked in for the Fire Control Art.

It was even more of a boon to his Alchemy Art.

"Of course I'm interested," Ning Luo immediately said.

Yun Yun nodded at Ning Luo and said, "All right, Xiao Luo. I'll take you to meet someone."

Meet someone?

Could it be an Alchemist?

Ning Luo followed behind Yun Yun as they headed toward a certain place.

Soon, they arrived at a great hall.

Yun Yun led Ning Luo inside.

Inside the hall sat a middle-aged man. When he saw Yun Yun arrive, he immediately rose to his feet and said, "So it's Sect Master Yun Yun. Quickly, quickly, please come in!"

Yun Yun glanced at Ning Luo and hurriedly called out, "Xiao Luo, come quickly and greet Elder Gu He!"

Ning Luo sized up the middle-aged man. He appeared to be in his thirties, in the prime of his life, with a powerful aura around him.

So this was Pill King Gu He? Ning Luo thought, Gu He had once been known as the Pill King. He was a Sixth-grade Alchemist of the Jia Ma Empire. Though his Alchemy Art was far inferior to Yao Lao's, he could still be considered a notable figure in the Jia Nan Empire.

Now that Master had brought him to see Pill King Gu He, it seemed she wanted him to teach Ning Luo Alchemy Art.

In truth, Ning Luo also very much wanted to become an Alchemist.

After all, how could one become powerful without taking pills?

But if he had to buy pills to take, he could not afford the cost. Becoming an Alchemist would let him earn money and take pills without limit, so why not?

Ning Luo walked up to Gu He and gave a slight bow. "Ning Luo greets Elder Gu!"

"You're called Ning Luo?" Gu He asked Ning Luo arrogantly.

"Yes," Ning Luo replied.

"You must understand that not just anyone can become an Alchemist. To become an Alchemist, one must possess good talent!" Gu He said to Ning Luo with extreme arrogance.

"Release your battle qi and let me see whether your talent is truly suited to the profession of an Alchemist," Gu He continued.

Ning Luo calmly released his battle qi.
