To the waiter's surprise, when Sect Leader Luo Huai heard the word "foolish behavior", he stood up suddenly as if some sensitive acupuncture point had been pricked.
Ning Zhishui watched Luo Huai running towards him excitedly and nervously, thinking that this trick really worked.
"Are you the successor of Master Chixing? What's your name? Are you a disciple of my Danwang Sect?" Luo Huai asked questions one after another.
Ning Zhishui looked around and said, "Sect Master Luo, shall we talk here?"
"Of course not, just come with me."
Luo Huai led Ning Zhishui into the front hall, asked the waiter to serve tea, and then excitedly asked about Chi Xing.
Chixing, all alchemists will be familiar with this name.
He is a monk who ascended to immortality through alchemy. He has extraordinary talent in alchemy and has created many alchemy techniques.
It is precisely because outstanding predecessors like him have paved the way that descendants like Ning Zhishui can feel at ease.
For Luo Huai, Chixing is the person he looks up to during his alchemy journey and the person he admires the most.
Chi Xing has no wife or children in his life, and is only accompanied by the art of alchemy. He is an extremely pure alchemy practitioner.
In the two hundred years before his ascension, he traveled all over the mountains, rivers and streams, personally looking at and touching the medicinal herbs, and he gave guidance to countless alchemists along the way.
It’s just a pity that he has never had a real disciple, not even a successor.
However, everyone learned from the book he wrote that he had a breakthrough place. In order to leave an opportunity, he deliberately left a lot of things and books there to give to those who were destined to have it.
Chixing did not explain the location or what was left behind, but what is certain is that no one has discovered that treasure land yet.
Otherwise, it would be impossible that no one has shown up until now!
If Chi Xing really has a successor, it must be someone who finds the treasure land and obtains his opportunities!
"I stumbled into that place by accident during one of my training sessions. I inherited his legacy and am considered his successor," Ning Zhishui said. "I have a long-standing seal on my master in weapon refining, and he's considered a master of alchemy. It's just that Senior doesn't know of my existence."
This is not false, there is just a slight discrepancy in the timeline.
Ning Zhishui accidentally entered that place fifty or sixty years later in her previous life. At that time, she had already started learning the art of alchemy. However, the things left behind by Chixing helped her improve her skills and broaden her understanding of pharmacology.
Chi Xing left things behind only to give them to those who were destined to receive them. He also left a letter in which he explained his identity and gave encouragement to those who were destined to receive them, but the words "master" and "disciple" were not mentioned in the letter.
But to Ning Zhishui, he was indeed half-teacher to him, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was his master in alchemy.
The most important thing is that she needs to find an excuse for her ability, an excuse that makes it seem more reasonable.
It is undoubtedly very appropriate to talk about foolish behavior.
"Long Seal?" Luo Huai's eyebrows jumped, "Could it be that you are..."
"Junior Ning knows water."
"Hiss... I see!" Luo Huai slapped his thigh after hearing this. "Can you really reach such a level at such a young age? It turns out that your master is Chi Xing... He is indeed Chi Xing."
Luo Huai looked longingly, as if he felt a little regretful, but at the same time proud. "Do you know that Senior Chi Xing is related to my ancestors? My third cousin's uncle... is Chi Xing's cousin!"
He said a lot of things, and I don’t know if he fainted or not, but Ning Zhishui was definitely fainted.
However, Ning Zhishui listened with a smile on his face the whole time, and after he finished speaking, he added, "So, Sect Master Luo and I are also destined to be together."
Luo Huai also laughed, "That's right... By the way, when you got the opportunity, did you see Chi Xing's book "Yinshan Xing"? "
Ning Zhishui glanced at him and wanted to laugh.
Luo Huai seemed very close to him, as if he completely believed what he said, but in fact he was still testing him everywhere.
Yes, anyone would ask a few more questions, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Ning Zhishui knew that this was his doubt, but he didn't show any anger. He just answered seriously: "'Yinshan Xing' is not the work of Senior Chixing. What he left behind is the 'Jingdong Xing', and there are many other manuscripts that are his... Oh, and there is also the recipe for the Huanrong Pill."
Luo Huai asked this to test two points.
First, does Ning Zhishui really respect Chi Xing? If he does, then after getting the opportunity from him, he would definitely want to learn about his past, and it is impossible for him not to know what his works are.
Secondly, we can also know from it whether Ning Zhishui has obtained the so-called opportunity. If her answer is vague and she dare not mention specifically the things left by Chixing, then there may be something fishy.
So Ning Zhishui directly dispelled his doubts——
Not only do I know what books he has, I also have the recipe for his Rejuvenating Pill!
Huanrong Pill is a skin-beautifying pill improved by Chixing himself. Its appearance caused a sensation at the time and countless people came to buy it.
However, Chi Xing only refined two furnaces in total. Later, he lost interest in it and was too lazy to refine it anymore. He even forgot about it after not using it for a long time.
Therefore, people in the world only know about Huanrong Pill but do not know its recipe. This can be regarded as one of the lost recipes.
Ning Zhishuidan claimed that the Huanrong Pill was among those inherited, which was enough to prove that she was indeed the successor, and not just talking nonsense.
Otherwise, the cost of telling this lie would be too high.
It can be seen that Luo Huai is very excited, but considering that Ning Zhishui is from the Xianlai Sect, it is not appropriate for him to ask further.
I can't let Ning Zhishui tell me the recipe!
But he soon remembered Ning Zhishui's purpose and asked.
"Our Jiang Baizhou's alchemist has just been settled. I thought that Sect Master Luo respected Senior Chi Xing very much, so I came to see you specially to reassure you."
Luo Huai was very moved.
He was a fanatical believer in Chi Xing, and many people knew about this matter. He did not doubt how Ning Zhishui knew it.
Ning Zhishui was so thoughtful that he made the special trip, which really touched him.
So his tone became more gentle, "You're so thoughtful. By the way, are you satisfied with the accommodation you've been given?"
Just from this one sentence, Ning Zhishui knew that the accommodation was arranged privately by the people below, and Luo Huai was definitely not aware of it.
"It's quite nice." Ning Zhishui's expression remained unchanged. "The scenery is beautiful, and there are spirit beasts for company. The alchemists in Jiang Baizhou all say it's very wild and interesting."
Luo Huai:?
His smile froze for a moment, thinking he had misheard. "What do you mean by companion?"
"Spiritual beasts." Ning Zhishui raised an eyebrow. "The spiritual beasts in your sect's spiritual beast garden are really well-fed. They are all fat and strong. But they may poop a lot because they eat too much. It's quite interesting."
