Compared to yesterday, today took longer. By the time Zhong Lin learned all the second-grade elixirs and left the alchemy room, he could already see the sunset.

"It's getting late!"

"It's not too late. Young master learned how to refine twelve kinds of second-grade elixirs in just one day. Genius is no longer enough to describe you. Unfortunately, my subordinates have limited abilities and cannot teach you anymore." Xie Tianyun said with emotion.

Xie Tianyun didn't know whether he was happy or sad. He was happy that he could meet such a talented person in alchemy in his lifetime. He was sad because he always felt that he had lived a life of idleness and his worldview was almost shattered.

"Young Master, are you still going to learn how to refine third-grade elixirs tomorrow?"

"Learn, why not?" Zhong Lin said with a smile.

"It seems that the young master is going to Dongshan."

"Why?"

"Young Master, you don't know that third-grade elixirs are different from first- and second-grade ones. Ordinary flames are no longer sufficient for refining. Only by drawing in the fire from the Earth's core can they be tempered with the essence of hundreds of herbs. The Earth's core fire seeped out from the East Mountain, and was later transformed by the Hall Master, becoming the alchemy center of Baicao Hall."

Zhong Lin nodded. When he was practicing making the second-grade elixir today, he had already noticed the inadequacy of the flame. During the elixir-making process, a lot of medicinal power that should not have been lost was lost. Although the elixir still became top-grade in the end, it should have been better.

He turned around and bowed deeply to Xie Tianyun with a solemn expression.

"Thank you very much for your guidance, Master Alchemist. Zhong Lin expresses his gratitude. If you need anything in the future, as long as it does not violate the principles, Master Alchemist can come to me."

Xie Tianyun's face lit up with joy, and he quickly returned the greeting: "Thank you, sir."

The promise made by the young master of Baicao Garden is not just talk; it is no exaggeration to say that it is priceless.

As the sun sets, Zhong Lin leaves Danding Garden.

Deng Yunsheng also appeared at the right time and looked at the still excited Xie Tianyun and said, "Master Xie, how is the young master's progress?"

"Greetings, Manager Deng. Young Master is already a second-grade alchemist."

Deng Yunsheng took a deep breath. Although he had expected this, he was still shocked when the facts were laid out before him.

A second-grade alchemist!
The entire Baicaotang only has twenty-four second-grade alchemists, and all of them are over fifty years old. The youngest one is already in his forties. And the young master is only sixteen years old now, but he has become a second-grade alchemist. This is simply shocking if it is made public.

"Young Master is a genius. He is beyond the imagination of ordinary people like us. Manager Deng, please take it easy." Xie Tianyun said with a smile.

"You old thing, you're trying to comfort me. The more evil the young master is, the better it will be for our Baicaotang, right?"

Deng Yunsheng also laughed, his face full of excitement.

"I just told you, Master, that I plan to go to Dongshan tomorrow to learn about third-grade elixirs. Manager Deng, please make preparations early."

"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements."

……

"Second brother, you are back."

As soon as Zhong Lin returned to the courtyard, he saw a few little kids rummaging through the bamboo forest, looking for something. They had all turned into little clowns and were covered in dust.

"What are you looking for?" Zhong Lin said with a smile.

"We are digging bamboo shoots! Second brother, they are all my good friends."

Digging bamboo shoots?
Is this the time to dig bamboo shoots?
He glanced around and then the corner of his mouth twitched violently.

The Xiangfei bamboo, planted by a renowned planter, was now scattered here and there, like a peerless beauty with pockmarks all over her face. The once elegant place had been turned into a wasteland. Behind Xiao Shitou stood two men and one woman, all about the same age. They all hid timidly behind Xiao Shitou, looking cautiously at Zhong Lin.

"It's okay, let's play!"

Zhong Lin nodded at them and walked back to his room. It's just some Xiangfei bamboo! Just play with it and have fun.

Watching Zhong Lin leave, Xiao Shitou put his hands on his waist and said loudly, "I told you my second brother is very good! Keep digging. Tomorrow we will go to the school to make grilled bamboo shoots."

"Ah."

"Listen to Stone."

"Dig more."

Zhong Lin, who was walking in the distance, paused when he heard this, chuckled silently, and did not stop him.

Just kids! Just be happy.

call out!
Suddenly, a clear sound broke through the air. Zhong Lin's face changed, and he shook his right wrist. A black dagger appeared on his palm without him noticing.

The sword blade slashed, and a sound of metal clashing was heard in the void, and a random iron lotus seed was cut into two pieces.

"watch out."

With a light shout, a figure fell from the sky, and a palm as big as a cushion slapped Zhong Lin's cheek directly.

Zhong Lin was not to be outdone. He did a bridge move and flipped backwards. At the same time, he kicked his right foot upwards into the air, colliding heavily with the palm.

Bang!
With a muffled sound, both of them flew several meters away.

"No more fighting, no more fighting, Zhong Lin, why are your bones so hard?"

Mei Weixuan kept shaking his numb arms, grimacing in pain.

The person who just launched a sneak attack was Mei Weixuan. Only such an unreliable guy would act like this, and even hit someone in the face.

In the fight just now, neither of them used their energy and blood, they just relied on their strong bodies to fight head-on.

Before, Zhong Lin might not be Mei Weixuan's opponent, but after practicing the "Golden Muscle and Jade Bone Kung Fu", Zhong Lin's bones began to transform into "jade bones", and their hardness was greatly enhanced. What's more, the two of them just used one foot and the other hand, so the strength difference was even greater.

Zhong Lin also stood up slowly, and with a flick of his wrist, the dagger disappeared.

"Zhong Lin, it's only been two days since we last met. How come your strength has improved so much?" Mei Weixuan said in surprise, rubbing his wrist.

"Where have you been these past two days?"

Zhong Lin did not answer and directly changed the subject.

"Don't mention it. I was held captive by my father right after I got home. Luckily, I was on this errand with Master Yin, otherwise I would have been put in solitary confinement. As soon as I got out, I came to find you. Let's go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion for a drink."

Mei Weixuan rubbed his hands, his face full of excitement.

"No, it's boring."

"Hey! What's going on? This is the first time I've heard a man say Xiaoxiang Pavilion is boring."

Zhong Lin turned around, showing Mei Weixuan his back, and said quietly, "What do you think the meaning of life is?"

"Why does this sound so familiar?"

Mei Weixuan subconsciously followed Zhong Lin's gaze and saw dozens of beautiful maids playing and frolicking under a pavilion in the distance. Some were plump and some were thin, some were pure, some were naive, some were charming, and some were coquettish.

"Gan!"

Mei Weixuan suddenly cursed.
