After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

After putting away his belongings, Master Yunhe glanced at the two men with grim expressions and quickly said:

"Well then, I won't stay any longer! I'll be going now!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling his disciples to put away the portion of spiritual medicine belonging to the Hehuan Sect.

The disciples in charge of the inspection quickly stepped forward and began to count the items.

Lin Fengmian also stepped forward and put his portion of the elixir back into his storage bag.

These are all his treasures, so he feels safer carrying them with him.

After everything was settled, Master Yunhe led the Hehuan Sect members toward the flying boat.

Behind them, Xuanming Zhenren and Xuanhu Zhenren had faces so gloomy they could drip water.

The veiled woman from the Xuantian Holy Land quietly watched the figure in green robes, a complex look flashing in her beautiful eyes.

……

On the flying boat.

Master Yunhe was in a great mood, and the smile on his face never stopped.

He stood on the deck, watching his disciples come up one after another, feeling very pleased with himself.

This trip to the hidden realm was absolutely amazing!

Not only did they gain more than the other two major sects, but they also got their hands on some good stuff from those two old ghosts, Xuanming and Xuanhu, for free!

What's the difference between this and picking up money from the sky?

The more Master Yunhe thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed.

Just then, Lin Fengmian boarded the flying boat.

Master Yunhe's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Young friend, wait a moment."

Lin Fengmian paused, looked up at the white-haired, white-bearded old man before him, and bowed respectfully.

"A real person."

Master Yunhe looked at him with a smile, sizing him up and down, becoming more and more satisfied with the look.

"Young friend, what's your name?"

"Lin Fengmian".

"Lin Fengmian..." Master Yunhe nodded. "A good name."

He paused, stood with his hands behind his back, and deliberately raised his voice a few decibels:

"Lin Fengmian, you've done me a great favor this time, allowing me to finally hold my head high in front of those two old devils. If you have any needs, just let me know, and I'll try my best to fulfill them."

The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every disciple.

On the flying boat, all the disciples of the Hehuan Sect immediately turned to look at Lin Fengmian.

Hey.

envious.

Envious.

Various gazes intertwined.

"Holy crap! Master Yunhe himself promised! What incredible luck Lin Fengmian had!"

"Damn it, I should have gathered more medicinal herbs!"

"You pick them? You pick my ass! You think you can pick as much as him?"

"Sigh, comparing yourself to others is just awful..."

Lin Fengmian listened to the surrounding discussions, but he knew perfectly well what was going on.

This Master Yunhe wasn't really that grateful to me.

He deliberately said this in front of so many people, simply to put on a show for others.

After all, he had helped him so much, and if the other party didn't reciprocate, it wouldn't be good for his reputation.

Just like those entrepreneurs in my past life, after making a lot of money, they all want to do charity and public welfare.

Reputation is sometimes more important than money.

but……

Lin Fengmian's lips curled up slightly.

Regardless of the other party's motives, I genuinely benefited.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"To be honest, Master, I am very interested in alchemy."

Upon hearing this, Master Yunhe's eyes lit up slightly.

This kid wants to become my apprentice?

He stroked his beard, pondering to himself.

Judging from this kid's performance in the secret realm, he was able to bring out so many spiritual herbs; he's definitely not an ordinary person.

If I were to be accepted as a disciple, it wouldn't be a disgrace to myself.

Moreover, having such a disciple is a source of pride.

Just as Master Yunhe was about to speak, Lin Fengmian continued:

"Therefore, this disciple wishes to request a manual on the secrets of alchemy from the True Master."

The words fell.

Master Yunhe was stunned.

What...what?

The inheritance of elixirs?!

Not becoming an apprentice?!

Master Yunhe's hand, which was stroking his beard, froze in mid-air, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

An uproar immediately erupted on the airship.

"Holy crap! Has Lin Fengmian gone mad?!"

"That's right! Master Yunhe is a Core Formation Elder and a third-tier alchemy master! If you could become his disciple, you'd be an inner disciple right away!"

"An opportunity that so many people would kill for, he actually... only wanted a single inheritance?!"

"Isn't this like picking up a sesame seed and losing a watermelon?"

The disciples looked on in bewilderment, as if they were looking at a fool.

Master Yunhe was also taken aback. Looking at the calm-looking young man in front of him, he slowly withdrew his hand.

"Young friend, have you made up your mind?"

His voice softened.

"The art of alchemy is one of the top four arts among the hundred arts of cultivating immortality, and its threshold is extremely high."

Without guidance, relying solely on self-exploration will inevitably lead to countless detours.

He paused, his gaze deep.

This has already been made very clear.

Anyone in this situation would immediately bow down and address him as Master.

however.

Lin Fengmian simply smiled slightly and cupped his hands in greeting:

"Thank you for your kind offer, Master. I have made up my mind; I will inherit the mantle."

His attitude was firm, neither humble nor arrogant.

Master Yunhe looked at him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This kid...

Is he genuinely naive, or does he have ulterior motives?

But he didn't ask any further questions, he just nodded:

"In that case, we'll do as you say."

After saying that, he took out a jade tube from his bosom and handed it to Lin Fengmian.

The jade tube was pure white and smooth to the touch, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary item.

"This is a complete inheritance of a second-tier alchemist, containing hundreds of pill formulas, alchemy techniques, fire control skills, medicinal herb identification, and so on. When I was young, I entered the field through this inheritance."

Master Yunhe stroked his beard and added:

"If there is anything you don't understand, you can come to Pill Peak to find me."

Lin Fengmian accepted the jade tube and solemnly cupped his hands in greeting:

"Thank you, Master."

Master Yunhe waved his hand and smiled:

"Go ahead, go ahead."

Lin Fengmian nodded and turned to walk towards the cabin.

Behind him, the disciples still looked puzzled and whispered among themselves.

"Oh, what a pity, what a pity..."

"If it were me, I would definitely kneel down and beg to become your disciple on the spot!"

"Exactly, what was Lin Fengmian thinking?"

Lin Fengmian ignored him, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Becoming an apprentice?

He has a jade pendant space and that magical willow tree.

If there are things you don't understand, you can figure them out on your own. Why do you have to find a master?

Moreover, after becoming an apprentice, one will inevitably have to go to the Pill Peak frequently, and will inevitably be watched by others.

He has too many secrets; it's better for him to keep a low profile.

Lin Fengmian gripped the jade tube tightly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Second-tier alchemist inheritance...

With this, plus the spiritual herbs in the jade pendant space, he could completely refine the Foundation Establishment Pill himself.

Moreover, his Foundation Establishment was not an ordinary Foundation Establishment.

What he wants is a perfect Dao foundation!

……

The flying boat slowly rose and flew towards the direction of the Hehuan Sect.

Downward

Xia Qingcheng stood quietly to the side, her gaze following the receding flying boat for a long time.

a long time.

She looked away and turned to leave.

Beneath the veil, a subtle, complex emotion flickered in her beautiful eyes.
