Xuan Kongzi turned to look and saw a graceful figure slowly approaching.
The young woman was tall and slender, her black dress outlining her exquisite curves. Her entire bearing carried a trace of aloof, proud coldness.
Her skin was like snow, and her long black hair fell casually over her fragrant shoulders. Her face was slightly thin, yet as delicate as fine porcelain, making it difficult to look away after a single glance.
Especially her narrow, half-lidded eyes, which carried an innate seductive charm beneath their lazy air, alluring and captivating.
The newcomer was none other than his prized disciple, the Cao Clan's famed enchantress, Cao Ying.
Because of her exceptional talent, she had long been named one of the candidates to become a Danta giant.
"Ying'er, have you made a breakthrough?" Xuan Kongzi asked with a gentle smile upon seeing her.
He knew this disciple's temperament better than anyone. Cao Ying was obsessed with alchemy and usually remained in seclusion, rarely showing herself. She would only emerge after making progress in her alchemy.
Cao Ying nodded lightly, and a hint of pride unconsciously rose on her seductive face.
During this period of seclusion, she had gained an insight by chance. She could now steadily refine high-grade sixth-tier pills.
Looking across the entire Central Plains, those who could achieve such a feat at her age were exceedingly rare. With accomplishments like hers, she naturally had her own pride.
Having received confirmation from his disciple, Xuan Kongzi's expression grew even more gratified.
This girl's talent in alchemy was nothing short of monstrous. He never needed to worry much about her, and she had always put his mind at ease.
"Teacher, what are you looking at?" Cao Ying walked to Xuan Kongzi's side and curiously looked toward the register on the table.
