Medicine Elder's Reflections: Chen Yang Might Have Inherited the Legacy of a Ninth-grade Alchemist!

Chen Yang's breakthrough to the Nine-star Dou Emperor could not possibly be concealed, even with two powerful figures like Medicine Elder and the Amethyst Winged Lion King in the small courtyard.

Seeing that the aura could not be contained, Medicine Elder slipped into Xiao Yan's body and temporarily took control of it in case anything unexpected happened later.

As the powerful aura from Chen Yang's breakthrough spread outward, a short while later, a figure clad in a luxurious Purple Robe unfurled his Dou Qi Wings and flew over, landing outside the courtyard. (The aura from the protagonist's own breakthroughs would leak out, but the system's enhancements would not.)

"I wonder who... Huh... It's you?" Lin Li, Lin Fei's father, had been about to ask when he spotted Xiao Yi Xian standing in the courtyard.

Although Xiao Yi Xian had changed into a Green Dress, Lin Li still remembered the elegance Chen Yang and Xiao Yi Xian had displayed that day.

"City Lord, please wait a moment. My husband is stabilizing his cultivation. Please have a seat in the courtyard!"

Xiao Yi Xian gracefully led Lin Li to the Stone Table in the courtyard and seated him, then refilled the teapot.

Lin Li was naturally overwhelmed with trepidation, but when he saw the mess throughout the courtyard, he became somewhat puzzled. Had a battle taken place here just now?

However, judging by the residual Dou Qi intensity, it should only have been at the level of a High-level Great Dou Shi to a Dou Ling, right?

Now that he knew the person breaking through inside was the Dou Emperor expert he had met a few days ago, Lin Li obediently sat on the Stone Stool and drank tea. Yet when he realized that a Young Man in a Black Alchemist Robe had somehow appeared opposite him, he was even more shocked.

At such a young age, he was already a Third-grade Alchemist, while his own daughter had only passed the First-grade Alchemist examination yesterday.

Could this group all be peak geniuses from some Great Sect?

"Little Brother, I am Lin Li, City Lord of Black Rock City. May I ask your name?" Lin Li did not dare speak with Xiao Yi Xian, and sitting there quietly was truly boring, so he turned to Xiao Yan instead.

"City Lord, you are too courteous. I am Xiao Yan!" Xiao Yan replied with a cupped-fist salute.

"Hehehe... Little Brother Xiao Yan, there is no need to be so polite either. I am a few years older than you, so you may simply call me Big Brother." Lin Li was quite cunning. He had clearly noticed that Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian were close, so he was eagerly trying to gain connections with that Dou Emperor expert.

"I would not dare." Xiao Yan gave a Slight Smile and tactfully declined. He did not believe that a Third-grade Alchemist like himself was enough to be treated as an equal by a Dou Wang expert. The other man clearly wanted to befriend Brother Yang.

Lin Li kept smiling on the surface, but inwardly cursed. This kid looked young, yet he was far too skilled at handling social situations.

"Hehe... I have a daughter the same age as Little Brother Xiao Yan. She just passed the First-grade Alchemist examination yesterday at our Alchemist Guild in Black Rock City. I wonder if you know her?" Lin Li continued probing.

"She passed the First-grade examination yesterday?" Xiao Yan gave Lin Li a strange look. Since they both had the surname Lin, could the City Lord's daughter be that charming Lin Fei?

"City Lord, you mean Lin Fei, right? We met yesterday and even had a meal with Master Frank and the others..." Although Xiao Yan did not want to use Chen Yang's connections to befriend Lin Li, having a Dou Wang expert as a friend would not hurt.

Thus, he began chatting with Lin Li...

Time passed quickly, and the sun soon climbed directly over Black Rock City. The three people and two magical beasts in the courtyard were all at least Da Dou Shi experts, so naturally they did not fear the blazing sun.

Just as Xiao Yi Xian refilled Lin Li's teacup, a rich medicinal fragrance suddenly wafted out from the room, and Lin Li instantly stood up.

"This... this scent is..."

A flash of fervor passed through Lin Li's eyes.

Xiao Yan immediately became alert, communicating with Medicine Elder to possess him as his hand moved to the Heavy Black Ruler resting against the Stone Table.

Xiao Yi Xian secretly gathered her poison Dou Qi. If Lin Li made even one unnecessary move, the deadly poison of the Calamity Poison Body would immediately erupt from the tea Lin Li had drunk.

The two magical beasts dozing beneath the eaves silently rose as well. The Amethyst Winged Lion King's body quietly grew a little larger, its lion eyes fixed firmly on Lin Li.

In an instant, Lin Li felt as though some great terror had locked onto him. His entire body turned cold, and sweat trickled down his back.

"City Lord!"

"My Brother Yang is refining a Fifth-grade Pill. Could it be that City Lord intends to... take advantage of him while he is vulnerable?"

Xiao Yan looked at Lin Li coldly.

Lin Li's scalp went numb at once, and he hurriedly waved his hands. "What are you saying, Little Brother Xiao Yan? I... I was merely drawn in by the medicinal fragrance. I absolutely have no such intention!"

Lin Li truly had no such intention. His standing up had merely been an instinctive bodily reaction, yet he had not expected to feel the threat of death from two young people younger than his own daughter.

"That is good!"

Xiao Yan chuckled, but his hand did not leave the Heavy Black Ruler. Xiao Yi Xian smiled and poured Lin Li another cup of tea, though this time, she added a little more to it.

Lin Li nervously finished the tea just as the door opened.

"Hahaha, I have kept City Lord waiting!"

Hearing Chen Yang's hearty laughter, Xiao Yan finally let out a breath of relief. In his extreme tension, he had overlooked the fact that the courtyard also contained the Amethyst Winged Lion King, a magical beast comparable to a Five-star Dou Emperor.

"Not at all, not at all. Lin Li congratulates Master on advancing in cultivation and refining a High-grade Spirit Pill!" Lin Li rose and waved his hands, then bowed to Chen Yang.

"I have caused City Lord trouble." Chen Yang chuckled as he walked to the Stone Table and sat down, then handed two Jade Bottles to Xiao Yan.

Lin Li did not dare look at them at all.

Xiao Yan accepted the Jade Bottles, glanced at Lin Li, and opened them one after another...

"Brother Yang, there are actually ten medicinal pills in this bottle?"

"You... you refined the amount of medicinal materials for ten batches at once?"

Xiao Yan was stunned. As a Third-grade Alchemist, he could at most refine the medicinal materials for two First-grade Pills at once. Yet Chen Yang, a Fifth-grade Alchemist, could refine ten batches of Fifth-grade Pills simultaneously?

"Twenty batches." Chen Yang pointed at the other Jade Bottle and said calmly after taking a sip of tea.

Xiao Yan hurriedly opened the other Jade Bottle to inspect it. Sure enough, he found another ten medicinal pills inside—the Yin Yang Creation Pills.

"Looks like I misjudged this little fellow. He may have inherited the legacy of some Ninth-grade Alchemist. Refining two pills in one cauldron... Tsk, tsk. Even at my peak, I would have needed the Black Demon Cauldron to accomplish that. Yet this boy can already do it at the Fifth-grade. Inheritance is one thing, but talent is another!"

Medicine Elder's reflective voice rang out in Xiao Yan's mind.

Brother Yang really is incredible! Xiao Yan muttered inwardly, then put away both kinds of medicinal pills.

These two bottles of medicinal pills were enough for him to cultivate for a month.

Seeing this, Lin Li wanted to ask Chen Yang to refine pills for him, but he did not know how to bring it up. Just as he was hesitating, Chen Yang spoke first.

"I have troubled Black Rock City during these past days. If City Lord has any pills of Fifth-grade or below that need refining, we may proceed according to the rules of alchemists."

"However, I only have a few days left in Black Rock City, so I should only be able to refine one batch of pills for City Lord."

Seeing that Lin Li wanted to speak but hesitated, Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Although Lin Li was the City Lord of Black Rock City, there were only two alchemists above the Fifth-grade in the Jia Ma Empire. Fa Ma was a Dou Emperor expert, while Gu He had the Misty Cloud Sect behind him. If Lin Li wanted either of them to refine pills for him, the price he had to pay would likely be more than ten times greater.

"If Master has any need in the future, simply send word. Even if it takes me across a thousand miles, Lin Li will come to Master's aid." Lin Li made his promise.

Chen Yang nodded. This was the allure of an Alchemist.

Of course, on the Dou Qi Continent, The strong are respected. Once you become a Dou Di, even if the other party is a Ninth-grade Alchemist, they must still regard you as superior.

After Lin Li took his leave, Medicine Elder floated out to offer congratulations. Xiao Yan also wore a delighted expression and did not forget to recount Lin Li's earlier behavior.

"You two were just worrying for nothing. What do you think is lying under the eaves? Did you really take it for some cat or dog...?"

Chen Yang pointed at the Amethyst Winged Lion King as he spoke to them.

"Hehe... We were just worried about you, Brother Yang!"

Xiao Yan said with a grin.

Chen Yang shook his head and wrapped an arm around Xiao Yi Xian's waist. "Your poisoning methods are not bad, but do not be so reckless next time. He is a Dou Wang expert. He only failed to inspect carefully because he feared me. If he had discovered it, I would have had no choice but to silence him permanently!"

Hearing the faint reproach in Chen Yang's words, Xiao Yi Xian felt warmth in her heart. "Rest assured, Husband. I will not do it again."

"Go have the kitchen send some food over. I am craving something..." Chen Yang smiled, pinched her cheek, and instructed her.

"Alright!" Xiao Yi Xian nodded and left...
