"What? A treasure!"
"The volcano has now cooled down..."
The leader said bluntly, "That treasure is in the lava, and now that the lava has cooled into stone, let's dig it out!"
As he spoke, the leading man looked over at the others, his face beaming with excitement.
"Fellow disciples, we have been hiding on the three overseas islands of the Spirit Water Sect for so long, and we have finally made some progress! If we can dig out the treasure and bring it back to the sect, the sect will definitely reward us handsomely!"
Upon hearing the leader's words, the martial artists all showed excitement.
Daylight broke.
Following Qiu Miaozhen's instructions, Ye Feng brought the letter of recommendation to the Ling Shui Sect's alchemy workshop.
As soon as I entered the alchemy workshop, a female martial artist dressed in the robes of an inner disciple walked over with a smile.
"Junior brother, are you here to exchange for pills?"
"No."
Night Breeze smiled and shook his head, then continued, "I've come to see Elder Wang."
"You want to see Elder Wang? Why?" the female warrior asked with a curious expression.
Night Wind, however, offered no explanation.
The female warrior hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's not impossible for you to see Elder Wang. I can convey your request, but whether Elder Wang is willing to see you is uncertain. Be prepared."
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng took out the letter of recommendation from his storage ring.
"Please send this letter along with your own, Senior Sister. Elder Wang should be willing to see me after reading it," Ye Feng said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
The female warrior took the letter from Ye Feng's hand and then turned and walked away.
After the female warrior left, Ye Feng paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking around every corner of the alchemy workshop.
This is the front hall of the alchemy workshop, where you exchange pills.
Disciples often come here to exchange the merit points they accumulate from completing tasks for various pills. This is the main reason why the female martial artist greeted Ye Feng with a smile and asked him what pills he wanted to exchange when he entered the room.
However, since Ye Feng arrived early today, he is the only one here right now. He estimates that many people will come to exchange for pills in a little while.
But what Ye Feng didn't know was that the female warrior opened the letter before she even saw the so-called Elder Wang.
"It turns out to be a letter written in Senior Sister Qiu's own handwriting, and it even bears her blood essence mark..."
"Is that Ye Feng? I heard he was personally recruited into the sect by Senior Sister Qiu, and became an inner disciple in less than half a month..."
The female warrior muttered to herself, her curiosity growing even stronger.
Upon entering the depths of the alchemy workshop, the female warrior arrived at the door of a secret room and raised her hand to knock.
"who?"
A woman's voice came from inside the secret room.
"Master, it's me."
The female warrior quickly replied.
"Come in," the voice from inside the secret room continued.
The female warrior then pushed open the door and entered.
Inside the secret chamber was a pill-refining furnace. Although the furnace was not in operation at the moment, the temperature emanating from it proved that the beautiful woman sitting cross-legged in front of it had just been refining pills.
And this beautiful woman is none other than Wang Tianyi, the Grand Elder of the Ling Shui Sect!
That female martial artist is Wang Tianyi's apprentice, so she must be Wang Tianyi's only direct disciple—Wang Geling.
Wang Geling is not only Wang Tianyi's disciple, but also Wang Tianyi's goddaughter.
Because Wang Geling was adopted by Wang Tianyi!
"Ge Ling, give me the letter," Wang Tianyi said, raising her hand.
Wang Geling immediately placed the envelope into Wang Tianyi's hand.
Wang Tianyi glanced at it, frowned, and asked, "You've already looked at it?"
"Um."
Wang Geling said, a little embarrassed.
"You dare to open and read letters that other people give me? You're getting more and more audacious," Wang Tianyi said with displeasure.
"Master, I was just a little curious," Wang Geling said with a smile.
Wang Tianyi didn't say anything more, and took the letter out of the envelope to read it carefully.
After reading it once, Wang Tianyi showed a look of great interest.
"I didn't expect that Junior Nephew Qiu would actually recommend that Ye Feng to me. Is that Ye Feng really that outstanding?" Wang Tianyi said.
"Master, what do you think should be done?" Wang Geling asked.
Wang Tianyi thought for a moment and said, "Since he was recommended by your Senior Sister Qiu, I certainly can't turn him away. However, I don't know his alchemy skills yet, so how could I possibly know how to arrange things for him? How about this, you bring him over, and I'll test him in person."
"Yes, Master."
Wang Geling turned and left, bringing the night breeze with her in no time.
On the way here, Wang Geling had already introduced them, so Ye Feng knew that the beautiful woman in front of him was Elder Wang Tianyi, and the female martial artist was Elder Wang's only personal disciple, Wang Geling.
Upon entering the secret room, Ye Feng bowed respectfully.
"Inner disciple Ye Feng greets Elder Wang."
Wang Tianyi looked Ye Feng up and down, and seeing that Ye Feng was energetic and capable, she showed a hint of satisfaction.
"Qiu Miaozhen recommended you to come here, saying that you would be of great use to our alchemy workshop, so I am very curious about your alchemy skills," Wang Tianyi said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng knew that Wang Tianyi wanted to test him.
However, Ye Feng was not afraid. Although his research on alchemy could not be said to be unparalleled, he was by no means an ordinary person.
Since Wang Tianyi wants to take the entrance exam, then let her take it!
"Elder Wang, please ask whatever you want, I will answer to the best of my knowledge," Ye Feng said.
"Okay, then I'll ask."
For the next hour, Wang Tianyi kept asking about various matters related to alchemy.
She inquired about everything from first-grade pills to sixth-grade pills, and she asked very detailed questions.
Wang Geling, standing to the side, was already drenched in sweat.
Wang Geling truly admires Ye Feng now, because if it were her, she definitely couldn't answer so fluently, but Ye Feng's answers were incredibly smooth and flowing.
This shows that Ye Feng is indeed a person of real skill, and is not a sycophant or a fraud!
After asking the question, Wang Tianyi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Indeed, Qiu Miaozhen's judgment is extraordinary."
"Elder Wang, you flatter me," Ye Feng said calmly.
Wang Tianyi then said, "Our alchemy workshop currently has a total of thirty-two alchemists besides me and Ge Ling. With you, that makes thirty-three, and you can be ranked as the chief alchemist."
Wang Geling was taken aback.
She was just wondering if her master would deliberately make things difficult for her, but now she has suddenly promoted Ye Feng to the top of the thirty-three alchemists, which is far beyond her expectations!
“Master, this is inappropriate,” Wang Geling said quickly.
"Why is it inappropriate?" Wang Tianyi asked in return.
