"So what if one has excellent aptitude? The Holy Court Continent reveres the Dao of the Sword. Although the academy forces its disciples to practice various techniques in order to cultivate truly powerful individuals, in the final analysis, they are more focused on the Dao of the Sword. How can they be willing to put more effort into studying strange and unusual techniques?
"But the requirements for our alchemy art are too high. Later on, you even need to master medical skills to advance further. Who would be willing to spend more time on it?" Another instructor shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Yes, in the past few years I did meet a few disciples with just passable qualifications. I was interested in them at first, but as they learned more, they found that it was much more complicated than sword-making and formations, so they refused to continue learning. They just came here to get a few trial tokens." The third instructor also sighed.
"Alas, if this continues, the alchemy skills passed down since ancient times in our Danxin Hall will probably be lost." Finally, several people sighed sadly at the same time.
"Master Chang, Master Chu, Master Zhu, you don't have to be too anxious. You are all in your prime and have a long way to go. You will always be able to recruit suitable disciples." At this time, a young man next to them said comfortingly. It was Ye Fengyun, who had a grudge against Mu Hanyan.
Although he is a disciple, he is Wenren Qingqiu's eldest disciple. His identity is extremely special and is not much worse than these mentors.
While comforting the alchemy instructors, Ye Fengyun felt a pang of shame. Although these old men were in good health and could be said to be vigorous and strong, they had nothing to do with the words "Spring and Autumn Peak". However, in order to reassure them, he had no choice but to comfort them in this way.
"I hope that with Mr. Ye's good words, we can find a suitable disciple to pass on the alchemy skills of Danxin Hall." Several instructors didn't care and said with little hope.
"Hey, that's..." Teacher Chang looked out the window and said in surprise.
"It seems to be Mu Hanyan. Why did she come to our Danxin Hall?" Teacher Chu looked for several times before realizing who he was talking about.
Mu Hanyan's image as a dissolute young master has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Although everyone knows that she is actually a girl after the battle with Jiang Qiling, her sudden change back into women's clothes still surprised people and they almost couldn't react for a moment.
"I heard that Mu Hanyan is extremely talented. It would be a good thing if she is willing to learn our alchemy." Teacher Chang said happily.
"Yes, people used to say that she was a playboy and unlearned, but now it seems that she is not a vicious person. We are worthy of our ancestors if we can teach her the ancient alchemy skills of Danxintang." Teacher Chu was also excited.
"Hmph, it's obvious that she has great talent in sword-making and formation. If she had practiced well, she might have become a master. But she refused to settle down and came here to learn our alchemy. You actually expect such a fickle and weak-minded person to inherit our alchemy skills. You are overestimating her." Instructor Zhu said with a look of disdain and a sneer.
"Master Zhu, what are you doing?" Instructor Chang and Instructor Chu looked at Zhu Tianping with puzzled expressions.
I remember that just now, he was also lamenting the fact that there was no successor to Danxin Hall, just like me. How come he seemed like a different person in the blink of an eye?
To be honest, the extraordinary talent that Mu Hanyan had previously displayed was exactly the disciple and successor they had always dreamed of. Why was it that Zhu Tianping not only did not like it, but instead seemed to be disgusted?
"Master Zhu, isn't the purpose of our Longyan Academy to hope that disciples can learn more unique skills and gain more insights into the laws, so that they can make further progress after being promoted to the Saint level in the future? There is nothing wrong with Mu Hanyan doing this." Ye Fengyun suppressed his inner excitement and advised.
He used to have a deep prejudice against Mu Hanyan, so he repeatedly opposed her. After being humiliated by Mu Hanyan, he hated her even more. However, as he got to know Mu Hanyan better and better, he realized that he had misjudged her. His attitude also underwent a subtle change, and he even developed a strange affection for her.
However, he did not have the hobbies of the nobles thousands of years ago, so he quickly suppressed that strange affection.
It wasn't until he saw Mu Hanyan's stunning face during the freshman trials that his heart was stirred again. However, the holy and majestic aura of Mu Hanyan in her glazed sacred robes prevented him from even thinking of profaning her, and at the same time, he felt a little ashamed of himself.
So when he saw Mu Hanyan coming to the Huanlong branch, he was excited and happy, but he still suppressed those feelings deep in his heart, not wanting others to see that he was abnormal.
"That being said, how long does it take for others to specialize in sword-making or formation? It would take at least half a year, if not a year. She has only been in the academy for half a month, and not only has she learned sword-making and formation techniques, but now she has come to our Danxin Hall to learn alchemy. She is too impetuous and too arrogant. Does she really think that the alchemy techniques in our Danxin Hall are so easy to learn?" In fact, Ye Fengyun's explanation was reasonable, but Zhu Tianping still said with a sneer.
Seeing Zhu Tianping's insistence on his own opinion, both Instructor Chu and Instructor Chang were somewhat helpless. Of the three of them, Zhu Tianping's alchemy skills were the most refined, but he was also the most stubborn. Once he made up his mind, no one could change his mind.
Both of them were a little puzzled. Mu Hanyan coming to Danxin Hall was not a bad thing in any way, and Zhu Tianping was sure he would understand. But why was he so disgusted with Mu Hanyan, or even deeply hostile to her?
Ye Fengyun smiled bitterly. There were some things that Teacher Chu and Teacher Chang didn't know, but he knew.
The medicinal herbs needed for the Huanlong branch were originally provided by the Anyang County Li Chamber of Commerce. The son-in-law of Zhu Tianping's uncle's brother-in-law's second aunt was the young master of the Li family. Although they were distant relatives, Zhu Tianping, born into a humble family, had few relatives in total. Therefore, he valued even the most distant relatives.
