In Qin Yuan's eyes, since Chen Mu possessed so many powerful talents at once, perhaps the Heavenly Dao doted on him just as much in the field of beast taming.
It would be such a waste not to develop that talent.
As it happened, Qin Yuan had long planned to take a personal disciple and pass on everything she knew.
Rather than letting an outsider reap the benefits, she would certainly rather teach one of her own.
"I'd advise you not to entertain that idea. The last person who wanted to take our nephew as a disciple is now his grand-disciple," Zhao Donglai kindly warned her.
"Who?" The prospect of a disciple becoming a grand-disciple piqued Qin Yuan's curiosity.
"Liu Ruofeng of the Ten Thousand Medicines Valley," Zhao Donglai answered truthfully.
"Who?!" The same word carried a completely different tone this time. "The Great Emperor of the Pill Dao? The foremost alchemist in the Divine Court!"
Qin Yuan knew only that Chen Mu had exceptional attainments in pill refining. She had never imagined that the person he had surpassed would be Liu Ruofeng, who stood supreme and unrivaled in that field.
His influence in his own field was no less than hers in beast taming or Zhao Donglai's achievements in the sword dao.
"Gasp!" Just as Zhao Donglai was about to speak, Qin Yuan seemed to think of something and interrupted him. "Wait! Are you sure you didn't misspeak just now? A grand-disciple, not a disciple?"
Chen Mu was powerful enough to win Liu Ruofeng's admiration and make him wish to study under him. To Qin Yuan, that seemed perfectly reasonable.
But if she remembered correctly, a grand-disciple was a disciple's disciple...
"That disciple of Mu's is no ordinary person either. Just like him, she can easily refine twentieth-rank pills,"
