Wang Geling said seriously, "Junior Brother Ye's alchemy skills are indeed very high, but he has only just arrived here. Master, you immediately made him the head of the thirty-three alchemists and the chief alchemist of our alchemy workshop. This will most likely make the others feel dissatisfied."
"Hmph, alchemists are judged not by seniority, but by their alchemy skills! Those with high skills naturally hold high positions, while those with low skills can only hold low positions."
"If they're not satisfied, then let them challenge Night Wind."
Wang Tianyi's words were so blunt that even Ye Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Ye Feng really didn't expect that Wang Tianyi would value him so much, giving him an important position right after they met.
So Ye Feng said, "Elder Wang, what Senior Sister Wang said makes sense. I'll start from the bottom, after all, I haven't been a member of the Spirit Water Sect for very long..."
"Should I listen to you or me?" Wang Tianyi interrupted Ye Feng.
Night Wind sighed helplessly: "You are the elder, so naturally we will listen to you."
"Then it's settled! We're short on time today, and it will also take time for Ge Ling to arrange a private alchemy room for you, so please come back tomorrow. If you have any questions or need to learn anything about alchemy, feel free to come to me," Wang Tianyi said with a smile.
"Then thank you very much, Elder Wang."
After speaking, Ye Feng bowed again, cupped his hands in greeting to Wang Geling, and then turned and left.
After leaving the alchemy workshop, Ye Feng went directly to the scripture pavilion.
Ye Feng had accumulated over a thousand merits from his previous missions, so he directly exchanged them for the third level of the Spirit Water Cloud Rain Technique on the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion.
Then Ye Feng went to the second floor of the Sutra Repository and found the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels of the Spirit Water Cloud and Rain Technique to read.
At the same moment, in Danfang.
Wang Geling cleaned the secret room thoroughly and prepared everything that needed to be prepared.
Finally, Wang Geling took a small wooden sign and hung it at the door. She ran her finger across the sign, and Ye Feng's name immediately appeared on it.
"Senior Sister Wang, has a new alchemist arrived at our alchemy workshop?"
Who is it? Do we know each other?
"Senior Sister Wang, don't stay silent!"
Several alchemists walked over from a distance and asked curiously when they got closer.
Wang Geling smiled and said, "That's right, our alchemy workshop has indeed received a new alchemist named Ye Feng, who is the disciple who has recently gained fame in our sect."
"So it was him."
"I didn't expect him to be an alchemist as well."
"It's said that he became an inner disciple in less than half a month after joining the sect. Such a rapid advancement is truly extraordinary!"
"And he was personally brought in by Senior Sister Qiu!"
The alchemists were all discussing it animatedly, their faces full of curiosity.
Then, the man who was leading the group, who was around thirty years old, said, "In that case, Ye Feng is the thirty-third alchemist in our alchemy workshop..."
“No, he is the chief alchemist,” Wang Geling said, shaking her head.
"What?"
The alchemists were all stunned.
They all stared at Wang Geling in disbelief, their expressions beyond words.
Wang Geling said with a wry smile, "This is my master's idea. My master said that Ye Feng's alchemy skills are very high, enough to be in a high position, so he made him the chief alchemist, and your rankings will be moved down one place according to the original order."
The alchemists' faces immediately turned red.
After a long pause, the leading alchemist said, "He's the chief alchemist right from the start? No way, I won't accept that!"
“If you’re not convinced, you can challenge him to a duel. This is my master’s idea. My master said that what we at the Pill Refining Workshop look at isn’t the alchemist’s aptitude, but rather the alchemist’s skill level. Whoever is more skilled will hold a higher position, and whoever is less skilled will hold a lower position. Everything depends on strength,” Wang Geling said slowly and deliberately.
"Alright, then I'll challenge him to a duel and see just how powerful this Night Wind really is!" the alchemist said indignantly.
"I want to challenge him to a duel too!"
"That's right, I also want to see what his tricks are like!"
The remaining alchemists also shouted, as if they would not give up until they had sparred with Ye Feng.
Ye Feng was still reading the Spirit Water Cloud and Rain Manual in the Scripture Pavilion and carefully comprehending it.
Just then, the sound of footsteps came from behind.
Even without turning around, Ye Feng knew that the person coming was Qiu Miaozhen.
Guess who I am?
Qiu Miaozhen covered Ye Feng's eyes from behind.
Ye Feng said helplessly, "Senior Sister Qiu, we are all martial artists. We can tell who it is with a scan of our divine sense, so let's not play these little tricks."
"Boring!"
Qiu Miaozhen let go of Ye Feng's eyes and said in a reproachful tone.
After a pause, Qiu Miaozhen smiled and said, "I knew you would be so eager to come here to read the Spirit Water Cloud and Rain Manual. You certainly didn't disappoint me."
"Of course! Having finally become an inner disciple, of course I have to come here to see it for myself," Ye Feng said with a smile.
Qiu Miaozhen then asked, "Have you switched cultivation techniques? What level have you reached?"
"Of course, it's the first two levels. I just finished reading the third level of the technique and haven't had time to practice it yet," Ye Feng explained.
"Then show me how to do it. Maybe I can give you some pointers?" Qiu Miaozhen said with a smile.
Ye Feng then raised his right hand, and as he circulated his true energy, a stream of water immediately appeared in his palm.
The light blue water looked very beautiful, with shimmering light within it.
Moreover, as this stream of water appeared, the air on the second floor of the Sutra Repository became humid.
The restrictions on the second floor of the Sutra Repository immediately activated, protecting the scrolls of cultivation manuals from damage.
The inner disciple in charge of managing the scripture pavilion quickly reminded him, "Don't practice your cultivation techniques here. If you damage the manuals, it will be a huge problem."
Ye Feng then stopped circulating his inner energy, and the flowing water in his hand immediately disappeared.
The second floor of the library has also returned to normal, and the air has become dry again.
Although Ye Feng had only circulated his cultivation technique for a very short time, less than five breaths in total, Qiu Miaozhen saw it clearly and knew that Ye Feng had already mastered the first two levels of the Spirit Water Cloud and Rain Technique to a high degree.
"Impressive! Junior brother, your understanding of the Spirit Water Cloud and Rain Technique is no less than mine!" Qiu Miaozhen clapped her hands and laughed.
Night Breeze said calmly, "I've been cultivating for so many days, so naturally I've made some progress."
"This is not as simple as just having made some progress," Qiu Miaozhen asked with a smile.
Then Qiu Miaozhen asked, "By the way, how did you switch to cultivating the core technique? You didn't ask the elders in our sect for help, nor did you disperse your cultivation and start over. So how did you..."
“I have a magical artifact protecting me,” Night Wind replied.
