Chapter 75: The Beastmaster Sect invites Nan Si Ning to be a guest elder! Not just me...
Nan Sining was barely satisfied with this new batch of pills.
She distributed the pills to everyone again and said to the Medicine King, Master Yu, and other seniors, "Following your guidance, I've improved the recipe and alchemy techniques, and the quality of the pills has indeed made a qualitative leap. I'm deeply grateful."
The smiles on Medicine King and Master Yu Feng's faces could not be suppressed at all. The disciples below were all amazed. When had they ever seen their master look so happy?
Xiao Jingwen muttered: "It feels like Master is ten years younger. It's more effective than taking longevity pills."
Qin Xueyang stepped on him again.
It's normal for Master to be so happy to have such an outstanding junior like Junior Sister!
Her strongest impulse right now was to steal her little junior sister back to Medicine King City! Such a gifted alchemist must be the Master's personal disciple! Not only more deserving than her foolish junior brother, but even more deserving than herself!
During this pill test, apart from the Medicine King who could raise some minor questions, Master Yu Feng had no other opinions.
When Nan Si Ning finished his conversation with Medicine King and Peak Master Yu and came to speak to the Beast Taming Sect, he found Elder Li in tears. "I never thought I'd be able to wait for such a talented alchemist to refine elixirs for our spirit beasts in my lifetime. I'd truly receive such a fine elixir! Thank you, Young Friend Nan! Thank you so much!"
Looking at the other disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, their performance was no less impressive, and each of them was wiping their tears with their sleeves.
Nan Si Ning opened his mouth but said nothing, letting them calm down first.
After Elder Li calmed down a bit, Nan Si Ning said, "Everything in the world of cultivation depends on chance. Elder, please treat today as a great opportunity for your Beastmaster Sect."
Although the pill was made by Nan Sining, she would not take all the credit. The opinions given by Medicine King and Master Yu Feng were also crucial.
As for innovating the pill formula for the Beast Taming Sect, it was also very inspiring for her. She had this feeling when she was constantly developing new garbage disposal methods, as if she was born for this mission.
This sense of mission made Nan Si Ning proud, but he did not feel arrogant.
Nan Sining's words not only made Elder Li once again deeply impressed by her character, but also made Medicine King and Master Yu Feng very emotional.
The two people who had practiced for hundreds of years had seen many geniuses in their lives, but they had never seen someone as humble and modest as Nan Si Ning.
"Junior Brother Nan's character and personality are not only second to none among cultivators of the same age, but are also extremely rare in the entire world of cultivation." Master Yu Feng said with emotion.
The Medicine King's face was filled with relief. "Yes, when she was able to surpass all the disciples of Medicine King City in alchemy, I was worried that her fame would make her feel lonely. So I thought that if I could bring her with me and teach her personally, I could help her improve her character and prepare her for a greater future. Today, I realize that I was worrying too much."
Although Nan Si Ning is lively and clever, even a little naughty in life, he is decisive on important matters and is a child that people can trust.
The Medicine King's words fell into the ears of Xiao Jingwen and Qin Xueyang behind him without missing a word.
Qin Xueyang was thinking: I didn't expect that Master had the same idea as me! This Junior Sister must be from Medicine King City! She must be!
However, Xiao Jingwen felt a sense of crisis. If Nan Si Ning really became his sixth junior sister, he would be beaten into the mud!
He was inferior to his senior brothers and sisters, and it could be said that it was because he was younger, but Junior Sister Nan was younger than him! She had only been a student for a few months!
But Xiao Jingwen had no intention of obstructing him. After the fight with Nan Si Ning, he knew deeply that as long as Nan Si Ning wanted to do something, no one else could stop him! Not to mention him, a loser like him.
Master Yu Feng also developed a sense of crisis. He used to think that Nan Si Ning should be his Yao Feng's person, but now he feels that he can't teach Nan Si Ning much.
But the Medicine King is different. As a seventh-level alchemist, he can give Nan Sining a lot of guidance.
Furthermore, over the years, Medicine King had been looking after Cijian Peak, and Nan Si Ning felt more connected to Medicine King City. Comparing her with the people in the sect only made Medicine King City more valuable and advantageous. If she truly wished to switch to Medicine King City, no cultivator in the world would be able to fault her.
No, he must talk to the elders about this matter and be prepared to deal with the situation where Yaowang City is trying to snatch people away.
As for the sect leader?
Master Yu Feng didn't dare to tell anyone, as he was afraid that Zhao Shiquan would just give Nan Si Ning away to someone else! This was something he absolutely couldn't accept!
Compared to the rich inner dramas of these people, the disciples' emotions were much simpler.
I didn’t expect that this innovative pill recipe could produce top-grade and ultimate quality pills the second time I refined it!
They have tried to refine it many times but just can’t get it right!
The gap between me and the genius is really despairing!
After the second batch of pills was tested, Elder Li personally stepped forward and collected the pills one by one. He then carefully placed them into a jade bottle and then into a mustard bag before he felt relieved.
This was the first time he had seen a top-grade rejuvenation pill for animals!
Nan Sining looked at his actions and smiled. It felt great to have the fruits of one's labor respected.
After settling back down, Nan Si Ning said, "Next, I'm going to adjust this recipe and divide it into three versions: easy, medium, and difficult. If you want to use the photo stone, you can start recording it now."
These words were spoken to the people of the Beast Taming Sect, but just as she finished her words, she saw many people's mustard seed bags and space rings flash slightly, and they all took out the photo stones at the same time.
Nan Si Ning's mouth twitched slightly. The alchemy practitioners were so arrogant. Almost every disciple of Yaowang City had a photo stone.
What Nan Si Ning didn't know was that ever since the photo of her fighting with Xiao Jingwen on the flying boat spread, the alchemists in Yaowang City had purchased photo stones one after another, just to record every time she made an elixir.
Now Senior Sister Nan has switched to the Yuntian Gold Furnace to refine the elixirs. It is impossible to expect her furnace to explode. We can only settle for the next best thing and watch her refine the elixirs.
In these days, some people in Yaowang City have had sudden enlightenment by watching Nan Si Ning making the elixir; some people with slightly lower comprehension but some persistence, after returning, repeatedly watched Nan Si Ning making the elixir in front of the photo stone, and also had sudden enlightenment.
In the past, I felt that the timing of enlightenment was mysterious and unpredictable, and others could not imitate it. But now, there are many examples showing that watching Senior Sister Nan making the elixir can greatly increase the chance of enlightenment!
As a result, the photo stones became the most popular product in Yaowang City. At one point, all the photo stones in the vicinity were sold out, and the students had to ask their fellow disciples who were gaining experience outside to bring some for them.
Nan Si Ning's thoughts drifted off to something unrelated: the photo stone business was so good, it looked like the project to improve the photo stone business needed to be started as soon as possible! Wouldn't it be wonderful to make a killing by endorsing it?
After collecting his thoughts, Nan Sining began the preparations and continued to refine the elixir.
This continued until midnight, when Nan Sining finally completed the entire alchemy plan for the new pill formula.
After testing the pills, Nan Si Ning collected all the pills and handed them to Elder Li. He couldn't help but yawn and said, "Let's stop here for today. Everyone go back and rest. We will continue tomorrow."
Nan Si Ning had just put away the alchemy furnace and was about to turn around and leave, but Qin Xueyang came forward with Xiao Jingwen first, clasped his hands and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Junior Sister Nan, for your guidance today!"
Nan Sining was a little stunned.
The Medicine King smiled and said, "This is a courtesy, just accept it!"
Nan Si Ning had no choice but to stand firm and said dryly, "You're welcome."
After the two men stepped back, the other disciples also stepped forward to express their gratitude, and Nan Si Ning was so frustrated in returning the favor.
After dealing with all the disciples, Nan Si Ning could no longer hold on. He didn't care that Medicine King and Master Yu Feng had not left yet. He asked the eldest sister to take care of him and he quickly went back to the yard.
Fortunately, Xing Yan was fast and followed closely behind her. As soon as she threw herself onto the bed, Xing Yan skillfully cast a spell to get clean water, washed her, took off her outer clothes, and then tucked her into the quilt.
Qin Sangyue then reluctantly apologized to the seniors, "Junior sister, I haven't yet fully learned etiquette. I'm sorry if I was disrespectful. Seniors, please forgive me."
Medicine King and Master Yu Feng naturally wouldn't care.
"The child is exhausted today. Let her have a good rest. These are just trivial matters."
"Nan-shixiong's health is the most important thing. Those etiquettes are secondary."
Elder Li was the most practical: "Today, Young Friend Nan gave our Beast Taming Sect a great surprise. Young Friend Nan is right. This is a great opportunity for our Beast Taming Sect. I will make the decision and increase the reward by 30%!"
Qin Sangyue hurriedly thanked Elder Li on behalf of Nan Si Ning.
After sending the seniors out, Qin Sangyue was shocked by the scene before her. Groups of alchemists sat on the ground and started refining pills on the spot.
Master Yu Feng hurriedly said, "After watching Junior Brother Nan refine the elixir today, I believe he must have had some insights and ideas in his mind, so he wanted to give it a try. I'm occupying your Cijian Peak. I hope Junior Brother Qin won't blame me."
Qin Sangyue understood that it was rare for a cultivator to gain insights and make progress, so she said, "This is a good thing. Why would you blame me? I'll go get some formation plates so they don't get disturbed."
Master Yu Feng hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Don't bother me, Junior Brother. We'll do it for you."
It’s already embarrassing for my own disciples to take up other people’s space, so how dare I bother others again?
Medicine King and Master Yu Feng quickly set up the formation using the formation plate, and after sending a few instructions to their disciples, they left.
Soon, wisps of smoke rose from Cijian Peak. Looking from the air, it looked even more smoky and fiery than Yaofeng Peak in the past.
When Nan Si Ning woke up the next day, she saw a group of alchemy practitioners who had stayed up all night but seemed more energetic than her.
All the alchemists had excited and rosy faces, and it was obvious that they had gained something.
Next, Nan Sining spent a few days refining pills for the Beastmaster Sect. In addition to the pills they wanted before, there were also several new pill recipes. Each new pill recipe was divided into three versions: easy, medium, and difficult. Each pill recipe had a photo of the pill refining process. The service was thoughtful and considerate.
Even Nan Sining couldn't help but praise himself, saying that he was definitely the best second-party in the world of cultivation. Not to mention other alchemy cultivators, even if the weapon cultivators, talisman cultivators, and magic cultivators were added together, there would not be a second-party with such a service spirit as himself.
Elder Li did not break his promise and quickly paid the 30% increase in the remuneration. He also bought a lot of things for himself and performed the ceremony with full courtesy.
At the peak master's reminder, Nan Si Ning also picked out some useless items and handed them over to the sect. After consulting with the Medicine King, he set up some restrictions, prohibiting the people of Yunxiao Peak and Shenqi Peak from using these items. Even if he thought they were useless, the grateful Beastmaster Sect couldn't really give away garbage, right?
Anyway, whoever makes an enemy of me can't get any benefit from me.
The fifth elder who was in charge of receiving the gifts did not say a word after being reminded by the first elder, and even praised Nan Sining a few words.
Master Yu Feng's words did serve as a reminder to the elders that Nan Si Ning's value had far exceeded their expectations.
Elder Li was about to leave, and Nan Sining went to see him off.
Before boarding the flying boat, Elder Li and all the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect bowed deeply to thank Nan Si Ning for the opportunity he had brought to their Beast Taming Sect.
The disciples of Yaowang City and Yaofeng were all fine and could understand Elder Li's approach. However, the other disciples of Canglan Sect were furious when they saw this.
How could an elder of a sect actually show such great courtesy to a junior?!
Although the news that Nan Si Ning had created a new pill formula for their Beast Taming Sect had spread throughout the sect, they still felt it was unnecessary.
Elder Li exchanged a few pleasantries with Zhao Shiquan and the other elders before returning to Nan Si Ning. "Young friend Nan, I've already contacted our sect leader and asked him to invite you to become an elder of the Beast Taming Sect. The leader and the other elders agree. Now, I'd like to ask you, young friend, if you're willing to become an elder of the Beast Taming Sect?"
Elder Li originally wanted to talk about this matter in private, but after weighing the pros and cons with his high emotional intelligence, he decided to say it in public.
I'd heard before that Ci Jianfeng wasn't treated well within the Canglan Sect, so inviting Nan Si Ning to become an elder wasn't impossible. Moreover, regardless of whether this proposal succeeded or not, it would serve as a clear statement to the entire Canglan Sect, telling them that Nan Si Ning had the support of the Beastmaster Sect. Given the personalities of Nan Si Ning and Ci Jianfeng's senior sister, they would surely accept this favor, making future interactions much easier.
What's more, Elder Li and the entire Beast Taming Sect are looking forward to Nan Sining establishing a system of animal elixirs. The treatment she receives as an elder is not enough, so if she wants to become the Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect, it is not impossible.
Before Nan Sining could react, the other people in Canglan Sect went crazy.
How could an ordinary disciple from a sect actually be invited by another sect to become an elder?! Even if the Beastmaster Sect's strength was slightly inferior to that of the Canglan Sect, he was still an elder of a sect! Being an elder meant countless offerings; it meant having status and being respected outside; it meant more resources for cultivation...
The Beastmaster Sect was actually willing to pay so much to support Nan Si Ning, a young cultivator who hadn't even established his foundation, as an elder. This meant she could bring more benefits! So what benefits could she bring? Was it all about alchemy?
But there are many second-level alchemists in Yaowang City, and the Beastmaster Sect has not invited any of them back to serve as a disciple!
Compared to the confusion of the other disciples of Canglan Sect, the disciples of Yaofeng and Yaowang City were more angry and anxious:
"The Beast Taming Sect has no moral principles!" This was the disciple who imitated Nan Sining's way of speaking.
"Ahhhh—Senior Sister Nan, don't agree! If you want to go, go to our Medicine King City! The gates of Medicine King City are always open to you!"
"No! Senior Sister Nan, please don't leave! We at Yaofeng need you too!"
"I've been taking such good care of the Beastmaster Sect's disciples lately, even gifting them a copy of the Complete Guide to Basic Spiritual Plants, and yet they're actually planning on targeting Senior Sister Nan!"
"Senior Sister Nan, the Beast Taming Sect is not the place for you to shine! Medicine King City is where your destiny lies!"
"I support Senior Sister Nan in becoming Master's last disciple!"
“I support that too!”
"Support Senior Sister Nan to become Master's last disciple!"
…
The fanatical disciples of Yaowang City actually shouted loudly.
The Medicine King turned around and glared at them, and they reluctantly stopped talking.
The statements made by the disciples of Yaowang City once again refreshed the cognition of the people of Canglan Sect, and indeed made the top leaders of Canglan Sect feel a lot of urgency.
Before, Yaowang City wanted someone, but only to be the Medicine King’s closed disciple. But the Beast Taming Sect has started to invite people to be elders. Who knows if Yaowang City will not follow suit?
The treatment of disciples is very different from that of elders. Even in a small sect, the benefits that elders can get are more than those of ordinary disciples in a large sect.
Master Zhu of the Divine Artifact Peak had been extremely pissed off by the Cijian Peak before, and had always wanted to get back at them.
Now that I see the person I hate and despise being fought over by all parties, my heart is already completely bruised with sour jealousy.
Before Zhao Shiquan, the Great Elder, and the others could speak, Master Zhu Feng snorted coldly and said, "This junior is really good at winning people's hearts. She even got Medicine King City and the Beast Taming Sect to build momentum for her!"
Even if Nan Si Ning could create a new recipe, what would it matter? The recipe he created would only be for animals. Moreover, the Medicine King and Peak Master Yu had been at Cijian Peak for the past few days. How could we know that these two old guys had contributed to it?
The two of them are so selfish that they even gave up their status in order to build momentum for the younger generation. That's why Master Zhu Feng looks down on them!
"Is this true? What ability does she have that would cause Medicine King City and the Beast Taming Sect to cooperate with her so much?"
"Of course she has no ability. The one who has ability is the Medicine King! The Medicine King has long been dissatisfied with our sect and has always wanted to get Cijian Peak out!"
"Could this be a play put on by the Medicine King and the Beast Taming Sect?!"
…
Several people sang in unison without even using telepathy, obviously wanting everyone to hear them.
Seeing that their words were getting more and more outrageous, the Great Elder shouted, "Shut up!"
Only then did they fall silent.
But they achieved their goal of confusing people.
After wavering, many people still tend to believe what they say.
This time, Medicine King was not anxious, but Peak Master Yu was. "Sect Master, Great Elder, and all the elders, this must not happen! Junior-Junior Sister Nan is truly a genius in alchemy. We cannot let her go anywhere else!"
The Medicine King watched with a smile, completely different from his usual offensive style. Instead, he advised, "Oh my! The Beast Taming Sect is sincere. You can't stop my nephew from having a better future, right?"
Although the Medicine King did not say it directly, smart people could hear his second meaning: You, the Canglan Sect, are unwilling to give people a good future, and even shortchange them in their daily rations.
Although the Five Elders have made up for the missed allowances over the years and punished those who made trouble, what has been done cannot be erased just like that.
The Great Elder replied, "If our disciple can have a better future, we will not stop him. However, my nephew Nan is good at alchemy, and the Beast Taming Sect is about taming beasts, which will not bring much benefit to alchemy. What do you think, Elder Li?"
Elder Li followed his words and conceded, "Great Elder, what you said makes sense, but please don't misunderstand us. We in the Beast Taming Sect wish to enshrine Little Friend Nan as an elder, not so we can have her take charge of the sect, but in the hope that she can help us refine the art of animal elixirs and create more innovative animal elixir recipes. This would be of immense benefit to us. We don't want to delay Little Friend Nan's own cultivation in alchemy, so whether Little Friend Nan stays in Canglan Sect or goes to Medicine King City is of no consequence to us. As long as she is willing to refine elixirs for us and instruct the disciples within the sect, we'll be happy."
These conditions are indeed very generous.
The Medicine King added, "So, I'll be your guest elder?"
Elder Li nodded: "Exactly!"
Before anyone else could react, Medicine King advised, "My dear nephew Nan, in my opinion, this matter has great potential. When you become a guest elder of the Beastmaster Sect, not only will you receive generous support and not have to worry about others withholding your wealth, but you'll also have someone to rely on. If you ever encounter any villain plotting against you in the future, the Beastmaster Sect will back you up."
Elder Li nodded repeatedly, "That's right! If Young Master Nan is willing to do you the honor of staying with the Beastmaster Sect for a while or permanently, and wants to see the various spirit beasts and learn about raising contracted beasts, the entire Beastmaster Sect will be very welcome."
The more Elder Li spoke, the more people were moved and inclined to agree. Many people even wished they could take his place and become the guest elder of the Beast Taming Sect instead of Nan Si Ning.
It's a pity that I can't replace it.
Among them, people like Zhu Fengzhu who had belittled Nan Si Ning felt the worst and could not bear to see Nan Si Ning get any benefits.
"Since Nan Si Ning is still a disciple of my Canglan Sect, this matter still needs to be decided by the Sect Master and the elders!" Zhu Fengzhu was still unyielding. "Please ask the Sect Master and the elders to stop this!"
Zhao Shiquan has been pretending to be a coward. He has lost the hearts of many people these days and knows that he can't go on like this, so he hasn't said anything. But Zhu Fengzhu was so tactless that he pointed him out. It was really annoying.
Of course, he also wanted to stop Nan Si Ning. His young disciple had suffered countless losses at the hands of Nan Si Ning. The two were enemies who would never stop fighting. Naturally, he did not wish Nan Si Ning well.
But, didn't he think of a reason to stop it?
His thoughts raced, and he spoke calmly, "It is truly an honor for the Canglan Sect and this disciple that the Beastmaster Sect values them so highly. However, I am concerned about her ability to accomplish such an important task for the Beastmaster Sect."
These words are spoken entirely from the perspective of the clan leader and elders.
Before Medicine King and Peak Master Yu could say anything, Elder Li smiled and said, "Sect Master Zhao is too modest. We in the Beastmaster Sect have witnessed the entire process of Miss Nan refining pills and innovating her recipes over the past few days. We in the Beastmaster Sect have no doubts about her ability. Even if Miss Nan can't do it, the several recipes she has improved for us are enough to make her a distinguished guest of our Beastmaster Sect."
The Beast Taming Sect is happy to do so. Even if they are being taken advantage of, it is their own choice. Outsiders can't persuade them.
The others took a deep breath again. Why couldn't they encounter such a good thing? It was all because they didn't have such outstanding alchemy skills.
Finally, the Great Elder spoke up, "It's my honor that the Beastmaster Sect values my nephew Nan so much, and it's also an honor for our Canglan Sect. In the future, the Canglan Sect and the Beastmaster Sect will surely become even closer. However, whether the Beastmaster Sect will bother my nephew Nan in the future depends on his willingness and whether he can live up to the Beastmaster Sect's expectations."
What this means is that Nan Si Ning should consider his own abilities and whether he is worthy of this offering and preferential treatment.
All of a sudden, everyone's gaze and attention returned to Nan Sining, the person involved.
Nan Si Ning didn't have this concern. The development foundation of animal elixirs was really too poor. With her ability, she could indeed improve the entire system by several levels.
She was considering other factors.
"I understand what you all mean, seniors. I have also considered your opinions. I also feel the sincerity of the Beastmaster Sect and the care you all have for me."
After hearing this, Qin Sangyue and other senior brothers and sisters nodded repeatedly, feeling extremely relieved. The little junior sister is really becoming more and more sensible and well-behaved. Her polite words are very appropriate and flawless.
The others felt a little relieved after hearing this.
Nan Si Ning turned his head and looked at his fellow brothers and sisters, saying, "But this matter doesn't just concern me, it also concerns our Cijian Peak. I am my master's closed disciple. For such a major matter, I naturally have to listen to my master's opinions and arrangements, so I can't make a decision immediately today."
