Taking a Disciple? (Please Recommend)

"Ahem! Qingyun, boy!"

Medicine Elder, who had been standing there for a long while, finally could not help giving a light cough.

"Eld... Senior Medicine Elder!" Lin Qingyun, who had been beaming with joy, froze, then hurriedly stood up, just in time to see Medicine Elder staring at him with a smiling expression.

"Senior Medicine Elder, is something the matter?"

Lin Qingyun did not try to avoid it either, his face turning solemn.

"Ahem, it's nothing much. It's just that you, boy, hide your abilities well!" Medicine Elder coughed once, then said with a smile.

His murky old eyes swayed back and forth between Lin Qingyun and the Medicine Cauldron behind him.

Lin Qingyun gave a few dry laughs. He already understood that this old man before him had been watching him for a very long time.

Seeing that Lin Qingyun did not speak, Medicine Elder's expression suddenly changed, and he said with an extremely serious face, "Qingyun, boy, you should be a transformed Magical Beast, right?"

"Ah... how did you know?"

Lin Qingyun was slightly stunned, then turned to look at Medicine Elder in shock.

After that, he carefully looked around. Only after confirming that there was no one else did he continue, "Senior Medicine Elder, aside from me knowing about this, and you knowing about this, who else knows?"

"What do you think?" Medicine Elder smiled faintly, then continued on his own, "I've observed you for a long time. You possess an extremely powerful Heavenly Tier Qi Method, and you also have inherited Flames. Only after several years did you reach the accumulation needed for a breakthrough. All these signs show that your true body is an ancient Magical Beast with a long inheritance. Now that you can refine pills too, that makes me even more certain."

"The only strange thing is that I actually didn't recognize you immediately. It seems you've stayed in the human world for too long, and your body has been tainted with the scent of humans."

Lin Qingyun sucked in a breath of cold air and said nervously, "Senior Medicine Elder, you must keep this matter secret. Aside from Xiao Yan, you can't reveal it to anyone else."

In truth, Hah, I thought something major had happened. So it's just... perfect. This way, I don't have to hide anything anymore.

Even though Lin Qingyun had already thought about how to deal with Medicine Elder afterward, clearly, Medicine Elder's miraculous train of thought had directly covered up all of his miracles.

"It's fine if you want me not to reveal it!" Medicine Elder stroked his beard and said lightly.

"Senior Medicine Elder, what instructions do you have? Just say them." Lin Qingyun decided to go all in.

"Instructions?" Medicine Elder's eyes sized Lin Qingyun up several times.

Lin Qingyun's hair stood on end, and his body could not help trembling.

"How about this? Become my disciple. As your master, I naturally will help you keep the secret." Medicine Elder said with a smile.

"Master?" Lin Qingyun froze.

"Yes, that's right!" Medicine Elder stroked his beard and nodded.

"Are you sure you're not joking?" Lin Qingyun laughed.

"Qingyun, boy, what are you saying?" Medicine Elder narrowed his eyes and stared at Lin Qingyun.

"I'm saying, if you want me to become your disciple, impossible!" Lin Qingyun nodded his head and said with certainty.

After saying this, he turned around without looking back and began tidying up the things scattered across the ground.

"Why? I'm a Grandmaster Alchemist. As long as you become my disciple, you'll be respected by countless people!" Medicine Elder refused to accept it and floated to Lin Qingyun's side, speaking by his ear.

"If you were a Grandmaster Alchemist, you wouldn't have ended up in such a state." Lin Qingyun said.

"Ahem, ahem, don't mind these details. I used to be a Dou Zun expert. Even if you're a Magical Beast, I can make you grow stronger in a short period of time." Medicine Elder continued, though it sounded as if he was speaking through gritted teeth.

"No need. I can refine pills myself, and I can make myself stronger." Lin Qingyun had already finished tidying up and walked straight through Medicine Elder's body.

"Sigh, Qingyun, boy, you should think about it again. I'm the most dutiful master in this world." Medicine Elder floated beside Lin Qingyun and continued speaking.

Suddenly, Lin Qingyun stopped.

"What? You've thought it through!" Medicine Elder said in surprise.

"No, I just wanted to say that if you want me to be your disciple, that's fine, unless Xiao Yan becomes my junior martial brother. Also, if you can't do the first point, don't say anything else." Lin Qingyun said.

He was very clear on Medicine Elder's personality. He was a rigid and stubborn little old man, and rules he set would not be easily violated.

Sure enough, Medicine Elder froze, difficulty appearing on his face. As Xiao Yan was the first to enter his tutelage, he naturally could not change the rules just because he wanted to take Lin Qingyun as a disciple.

"Is it really impossible?" Medicine Elder said with some regret. He thought very highly of Lin Qingyun, and even clearly knew that the latter's achievements would certainly surpass his, and even surpass Xiao Yan's.

Perhaps... he might even be able to help him make up for the regret he had never been able to fulfill.

Lin Qingyun shook his head. In the end, he simply did not want to be bound by a sect.

"Then... forget it!" Medicine Elder sighed.

"Senior Medicine Elder, Xiao Yan and I are brothers. If there are any difficulties in the future, I will also lend a hand. I absolutely won't stand by and do nothing." Lin Qingyun's palm stopped on Medicine Elder's illusory shoulder. He withdrew his hand and said with extreme certainty.

"Sigh, I understand."

Since things had already been said to this point, Medicine Elder did not say any more. His body swayed, then vanished into the air.

"Sigh!"

Lin Qingyun also sighed, then hurried away.

The sky had already darkened, entering the depths of night, but the small room was still brightly lit.

At this moment, Lin Qingyun seemed to be in an especially good mental state. Almost every few hours, two medicinal pills would fly out from the Medicine Cauldron.

Only, Lin Qingyun seemed somewhat dissatisfied. Every Qi Nourishing Pill seemed not to have reached his requirements, which was to say, perfection.

Although he was somewhat anxious, Lin Qingyun very quickly suppressed this inexplicable irritation.

This continued all the way until daybreak. Only then did Lin Qingyun walk out of the small room. He stretched lazily, then headed out of the Xiao Family.

The early morning street was very quiet. As though familiar with the route, he arrived at the Mite'er Auction House in less than fifteen minutes.

After waiting in the VIP room for a moment, Ya Fei, dressed in red, soon walked over.

"You're here! Let me guess, you must have missed me." Ya Fei pursed her lips and smiled. That smear of flame-red seemed as if it wanted to ignite the boiling blood in a person's veins.

Lin Qingyun did not speak. He only waved his right hand, and seven jade bottles appeared on the table.

"This is?" Ya Fei was stunned. She picked up one jade bottle and sniffed at the sealed mouth of the bottle, faintly able to smell a rich medicinal fragrance.

"These are the medicinal pills I refined, Qi Nourishing Pills. They can nourish the Meridians and strengthen Dou Qi. Even someone at your realm can use them." Lin Qingyun said.

"Really?" Ya Fei said incredulously. Her pair of phoenix eyes sized Lin Qingyun up and down more than a dozen times.

He could cultivate now, and had even broken through to Dou Zhe. That was already extremely inconceivable. Now, after only a single day, he had brought seven bottles of medicinal pills. It was simply shocking to hear.

"Of course!" Lin Qingyun nodded with certainty.

"I'll have to call Gu Ni over to test them." Ya Fei said.

As soon as her words fell, the maidservant at the side had already hurriedly run out.

Let's stop here for now. I took a car last night, but ended up only arriving this afternoon. I sat in the car for more than ten hours. It was a private car, and I was about to throw up.

After returning to my hometown, I fussed around for half the day and it was already past nine.

I'm a little sleepy, so I'll sleep first.
