Chapter 85 Monster
Zhong Lin stayed in the alchemy room for the entire morning and did not go out. However, what he achieved in this morning was something that others could not achieve in decades.

Host: Zhong Lin

Method: Tianyuan Treasure Post (max level), Golden Muscle and Jade Bone Skill (max level)...

Technique: Thousand Mist Sword Technique (max level)...

Miscellaneous: Alchemy: First-grade elixir (max level)...

Skill Points: ∞
Zhong Lin learned all eighteen kinds of first-grade elixirs in the entire Danding Garden, and he tried every kind of elixir and succeeded in refining them all.

In other words, Zhong Lin was already a first-grade alchemist at this time, and an all-round one at that. After all, as long as one could refine a first-grade elixir, he could be called a first-grade alchemist, and Zhong Lin knew how to refine eighteen kinds of elixirs.

Zhong Lin had already left, but Xie Tianyun was still sitting on the mat, staring at the pile of pills in front of him, muttering to himself, no one knew what he was saying.

The door opened and manager Deng Yunsheng walked in, glancing around the alchemy room.

"Has the young master left already?"

His eyes fell on the pile of pills in front of him, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

As one of the two managers of Baicaotang, Deng Yunsheng has some vision. Although the pills in front of him are all first-grade, they are all round and full, with a strong medicinal fragrance. They are all top-grade at a glance.

"Master Xie, it seems your alchemy skills have greatly improved! Every pill is of top quality. I think I'll have to give you a raise."

Xie Tianyun turned his head with difficulty, with an expression on his face that looked like he was not sure whether to cry or laugh. He looked as if he had been played to pieces and had no desire to live.

"what happened?"

Deng Yunsheng's face was full of curiosity.

Xie Tianyun forced a laugh and said, "Manager Deng, if I say these pills were not made by me but by the young master, would you believe me?"

"What a joke."

Deng Yunsheng showed an unhappy expression on his face.

"Young Master, this is your first time learning alchemy. Being able to memorize the medicinal properties of herbs is already a sign of genius. How can you even make an elixir?"

"I thought so before, but the fact is this. These were indeed refined by the young master. In just one morning, he learned all the first-grade elixirs in our Baicaotang and successfully refined them all."

Deng Yunsheng was so shocked that his mouth felt dry and he swallowed deeply.

"You...you must not be kidding me! How is this possible?"

It's not like he hasn't seen an alchemy genius in Baicaotang, but even geniuses have their own appearance. If this is true, then he's not a genius, but a monster.

"Do I dare to make fun of you, young master?"

Gudong!

Deng Yunsheng's heart was pounding at this moment, and he grabbed the apprentice who was doing odd jobs nearby.

"Is what Master Xie Dan said true?"

The apprentice's face was full of excitement and enthusiasm, and he nodded heavily.

"Reporting to Manager Deng, everything Mr. Xie said is true. The young master really did learn how to make all the first-grade elixirs in just one morning. These were all made by the young master himself. He also said..."

"say what?"

"I will come back tomorrow to learn how to refine the second-grade elixir."

At this moment, only two words flashed through Deng Yunsheng's mind.

evildoer.

He learned alchemy in just one morning. If this isn't a monster, then what is?

Deng Yunsheng took a deep breath and turned to leave. After a while, he hurried back, found a wooden box, put all the pills on the ground into it, and then went straight to the courtyard where Yin Daoyan was.

Feeling the speed was too slow, he used his Qi and blood martial arts to make his steps move with great speed.

"Master Yin."

Deng Yunsheng bowed respectfully. Yin Daoyan was lying on a lounge chair, basking in the sun, holding an ancient book, while Gu Yourong knelt beside him, boiling water for tea.

Yin Daoyan glanced at him and asked casually, "What's the matter?"

Deng Yunsheng raised the wooden box in his hand to his head and handed it over.

"This is the elixir that the young master refined today."

"Ok?"

Yin Daoyan was stunned for a moment, and even Gu Yourong, who was boiling water to make tea, stopped what he was doing.

Yin Daoyan turned over and sat up, reaching out to take the wooden box. When he saw the plump pills in the box, his body trembled unconsciously.

"Master Yin, Xie Tianyun said it himself. Young Master refined these eighteen first-grade elixirs from scratch in just one morning, and he plans to learn second-grade elixirs tomorrow."

"Master Yin, please forgive my frankness. I have never seen anyone with such talent. You are simply a monster."

Gu Yourong also stood up and took out a pill from the wooden box to look at it, muttering, "It is indeed a monster."

His mind couldn't help but think of that day by the river. Zhong Lin mastered a set of sword techniques to the state of unity between man and sword just by watching once. He didn't expect that he also had such talent in alchemy. Such a person must be a monster.

Yin Daoyan also laughed heartily and said, "I didn't expect Zhong Lin to be so talented in alchemy. Great, great! Go, go call Zhong Lin over."

"Yes."

Not long after, Zhong Lin came to the courtyard in confusion, especially feeling the burning gazes of everyone.

"Meet the Master."

"Haha, Zhong Lin, come here quickly."

Yin Daoyan happily stepped forward and helped Zhong Lin up. He pulled his arm and pointed at the wooden box on the table and asked, "Did you refine all of this today? Are you a first-grade alchemist now?"

"I was just about to report to Master that I am now indeed a first-grade alchemist. These are the pills I refined this morning."

"Have you ever been exposed to the art of alchemy before?"

"No, I just started practicing alchemy today and found it's not as difficult as I imagined."

"The path of alchemy is boundless, don't be arrogant. You must know that what you refined today is just a first-grade elixir." Yin Daoyan advised.

"Yes, disciple, keep this in mind."

"If there's anything you don't understand about the Dao of Alchemy, you can ask me. I'll take you back to the sect in a few days to pay homage to the ancestors and register you on the roster."

"Disciple understands. It's all up to Master to command."

"Go!"

"Yes, the disciple retire."

"Old Deng, from now on, Zhong Lin can use any of the resources in Baicaotang. Send ten beautiful maids to his courtyard." Yin Daoyan ordered.

"Yes."

Gu Yourong frowned slightly, "Master Yin, will this make Zhong Lin too obsessed with beauty, which will be detrimental to his cultivation?"

Yin Daoyan laughed heartily and said, "That's all right. Zhong Lin is only sixteen years old. He is in the prime of his youth, with vigorous Qi and blood. These maids are just the right amount for him to indulge in lust and forget about his passions, and to avoid being tempted by beauties from the outside world. Moreover, with his cultivation speed, I believe it won't be long before he can refine his essence into Qi and enter the upper third level. Then he will naturally be able to abstain from sex and cultivate his Qi."

Gu Yourong nodded and said nothing more.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Yin Daoyan's behavior. After all, Zhong Lin came from a small mountain village. Now he suddenly occupies a high position, which will naturally attract the attention of various forces. At that time, all kinds of temptations such as wine, sex, money and anger will inevitably follow.

Considering Zhong Lin’s age, the most difficult hurdle is the word “sex”.

Yin Daoyan did this so that Zhong Lin could figure it out as soon as possible to avoid being caught in chaos.

If Zhong Lin were here, he would definitely complain that this is just the "desensitization therapy" in psychology!
