Singing His Own Praises!

"Not bad, Peak Dou Ling cultivation plus Late Mortal Realm Soul Power! If I'm not mistaken, Xiao Yan, you should also be an Alchemist, right?"

So, it seems you must be a Tier 5 Alchemist?

Xiao Lin didn't continue the conversation with Xiao Yan for the time being, but instead suddenly asked a question in return.

"Huh? Although I haven't been certified by the Alchemist Guild yet, refining Tier 5 Medicinal Pills shouldn't be too difficult for me, right?"

After a moment of surprise, Xiao Yan answered truthfully.

Of course, what Xiao Yan is referring to here is his normal alchemy level when he doesn't use the Heavenly Flames.

If he were to use Heavenly Flames, he could refine the most top-grade Tier 5 Medicinal Pills!

There's even a small chance of successfully refining Tier 6 Medicinal Pill!

Xiao Yan was quite confident about this.

"Hehe, just as your grandfather said, you are indeed very outstanding! And you two little girls too! So, the three Letter of Recommendation I sent weren't chosen because of my relationship with your grandfather."

"Supreme Elder Lin, what do you mean?"

Xiao Yan seemed to have vaguely sensed something.

"What I mean is, I'm doing this for the public good, not for personal gain! With the talent of the three of you, it would be a real loss if the academy missed out on you!"

So, let alone me, I think any college Elder with the authority to send Letter of Recommendation would make the same choice as me if they encountered you!

Since that's the case, why do you keep taking this matter to heart?

After taking a sip of tea, Xiao Lin spoke calmly.

His speech was also well-organized and could withstand any scrutiny.

Meanwhile, after listening to the story, Xiao Yan, Xun'er, and Nalan Yanran thought about it carefully and realized that it really was true!

Just as the three were deep in thought, Xiao Lin spoke up once again.

"Besides, I mentioned this to Xun'er before. If anyone owes me a favor, Xiao Yan, that person is only your grandfather, not any of you!"

I wouldn't stoop to asking you three kids for a favor over something so trivial.

Or do you think that's the kind of person I am?

After saying that, Xiao Lin raised his eyes and glanced at the three of them with a half-smile.

"No, Your Supreme Elder Lin, that's absolutely not what we meant!"

"Yes, Supreme Elder Lin, we only feel indebted to you, and now we want to ask you for a promise, so..."

Xiao Yan and Xun'er then spoke up one after the other.

Although Nalan Yanran didn't say anything, the meaning conveyed in her eyes was quite clear: they had never really thought of it that way!

"Hehe, don't be nervous, I didn't mean anything by it! It's just that since I've already set the rules, I naturally don't want you to break them."

Seeing the three people's reactions, Xiao Lin also laughed.

"Ah? What are the rules you established, Your Supreme Elder Lin?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was clearly still not able to react for a moment.

"Have you forgotten? I once said that any student who can pass the Trial Grounds can make one request of me! That's the rule I set!"

"I am, after all, Grand Elder of the Jia Nan Academy. It shouldn't be unreasonable for me to want to nurture some outstanding students, right?"

That's what they say, but the reality is that Xiao Lin just wants to give his alias a suitable reason to interfere in Xiao Yan's affairs in the future.

Thinking of what happened to Xun'er before she left Jia Nan Academy in the Original Work, a glint of light flashed in Xiao Lin's lowered eyes.

In the Original Work, Xiao Yan didn't have any major backers besides Yao Lao.

However, Yao Lao was only in Remnant Soul state, so his ability to help Xiao Lin was limited.

Xiao Lin doesn't want to expose himself to others right now, so helping Xiao Yan under a pseudonym will be very necessary.

Xiao Lin is now laying the groundwork for this.

"Hmm, Supreme Elder Lin, what you say makes sense, but..."

"There's nothing wrong with that. If you haven't decided what you want from me now, you can bring it up later when you do."

Xiao Yan was interrupted by Xiao Lin before he could finish speaking.

"Alright, since you've put it that way, Supreme Elder Lin, then we won't stand on ceremony! We'll let you know when we need anything in the future!"

After thinking it over, Xiao Yan ultimately decided not to continue his objections.

Who wouldn't be happy to receive a promise from a powerful figure?

At first, he was just embarrassed.

Now that we've talked it out, it's nothing anymore.

Moreover, according to the various intelligence they gathered, Supreme Elder Lin had at least the cultivation level of Dou Venerable, and had even made considerable progress in the Dou Zun Realm.

Now that someone has made a promise to you, it's as if you can ask Dou Zun expert to help you once!

This is an absolute steal!

Since Xiao Yan had already agreed, Xun'er and Nalan Yanran naturally wouldn't object.

Therefore, if Xiao Yan encounters any difficulties in the future, "Lin Xiao" can openly and legitimately step forward to help him!

Xiao Lin's goal can be considered to have been achieved.

After that incident, they became quite familiar with each other and even started chatting.

After all, Xiao Yan and his companions' original purpose was to visit Xiao Lin.

It would be abnormal if we didn't chat, right?

During the casual conversation, it was inevitable that the topic of Xiao Lin himself would come up!

This gave Xiao Lin a very strange feeling.

It was as if he were looking at himself from an outsider's perspective.

"Supreme Elder Lin, I'm actually very curious, how did you meet my grandfather and become friends?"

Since entering Jia Nan Academy and learning about some of Supreme Elder Lin's strength, Xiao Yan has been extremely puzzled.

Xiao Yan found it strange. His grandfather was just a Dou Wang with poor health. How could he become friends with Supreme Elder Lin, who had already made great strides in the Dou Zun Realm?

That's just not scientific!

Because this is equivalent to a Dou Wang having the connections of Dou Venerable!

At the same time, not only Xiao Yan, but also Xun'er and Nalan Yanran were in the same boat.

Seeing the questioning looks in their eyes, Xiao Lin knew what they were thinking.

Whom do you look down on?

What's wrong with Dou Wang making friends with Dou Venerable?

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin decided that he had to make Xiao Yan and the other two think more highly of him!

"Regarding this, Xiao Yan, you should know that your grandfather was actually a very outstanding person! In many areas, his knowledge surpasses even mine!"

Especially in the realm of Formation Dao, he possesses insights far exceeding those of ordinary people!

We became good friends because we're both Formation Masters!

Xiao Lin said this with a solemn expression.

This time, Xiao Lin shamelessly launched into a self-aggrandizing commercial stunt!

And he did it with such confidence!
