Chapter 240: Alchemy
On this day, all the disciples of Daotian Sect were in high spirits.
Only Qin Cailan stood in the corner with a gentle smile, seeming out of place in such an occasion.
Everyone has made progress in cultivation.
Even her former junior sister Song Baiyi has already shown her strength to the fullest. In the eyes of the outsiders, she is the number one cultivator of the younger generation!
Qin Cailan should have been very pleased to see her fellow student achieve such success.
But the more she watched them become stronger, the more conflicted she became.
Qin Cailan often wondered whether her choice was right or wrong.
Obviously everyone has achieved such success, but she is still so unknown.
Although I am not competitive, I feel uncomfortable because everyone is making progress while I am the only one standing still.
Watching other disciples returning to their resting places one after another, Qin Cailan also plucked up the courage to find Jiang Ming.
"gentlemen……"
Qin Cailan walked forward, still feeling unsure.
Whether for her or Jiang Ming, they practiced together with Jiang Ming at the same time, but her results were minimal.
At this time, Jiang Ming looked at Qin Cailan and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Cailan mustered up her courage and said, "Sir, do you think I am cut out for this?"
After hearing what Qin Cailan said, Jiang Ming roughly understood what she was worried about.
I saw my fellow disciples making rapid progress in strength.
For her, her progress in re-cultivating alchemy was naturally much slower.
In addition, these days, Jiang Ming has focused most of his energy on Song Baiyi and Gu Yin for the Cang Xuanwu Fighting Competition, and has paid less attention to other people.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ming smiled faintly and patted Qin Cailan on the shoulder.
"Whether you have the right material or not, you won't know until you try it yourself. At least in my opinion, your progress is still obvious, even far surpassing that of other disciples." Jiang Ming said approvingly.
"Really...really?" Qin Cailan found it hard to believe, but there was a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
"Of course, after all, the threshold for alchemy is much higher than that for cultivators. Moreover, you have just started to practice alchemy. It is very rare to have such achievements now." Jiang Ming said.
Hearing this, Qin Cailan's eyes sparkled with a strange light.
She had no idea how far she had come. Judging from her alchemy skills alone, she seemed to be far inferior to Song Baiyi and the others.
But as long as Jiang Ming recognized her, it meant there was still hope! "Thank you, sir. I will definitely work harder in the future!" Qin Cailan clenched her hands and said seriously.
"It is necessary to work hard. With your talent and physique, it is easy to achieve something." Jiang Ming smiled faintly: "But maybe you do need a helper."
Speaking of this, Jiang Ming looked elsewhere from time to time.
Coincidentally, Jiang Ming's eyes fell on Xiao Lingran in the garden.
I don’t know if it’s because Xiao Lingran often watered the fruit trees and vegetable gardens in Daotian Sect, and when she came to Cangyin Palace she often took care of the flowers and plants, and she never got tired of it.
"Xiao Lingran, come here." Jiang Ming called out.
"Huh?"
Xiao Lingran, who was squatting beside the flower bed, suddenly turned her head and looked at Jiang Ming with curiosity, then ran over quickly with her little legs.
"Is there anything wrong?" Little Lingran asked, tilting her little head.
"This sister may need your help. Are you willing to help her?" Jiang Ming asked while rubbing her little head.
"Hmm..." Xiao Lingran seemed a little hesitant.
"There are fruits to eat." Jiang Ming said with a smile.
"Okay!" Xiao Lingran jumped up happily.
Then, she turned around, put her hands on her hips and looked at Qin Cailan, then she looked like a little adult with a serious expression on her face.
"Tell me, what do you need my help with? Xiao Lingran is very capable!" Xiao Lingran said in a serious tone.
"Ah?" Qin Cailan didn't understand either.
She said she needed a helper, but she didn't understand why Jiang Ming arranged Xiao Lingran to be her helper.
At this time, Jiang Ming added: "Just let Xiao Lingran follow you. If you don't understand anything about medicinal materials, or if you have any needs, just ask Xiao Lingran."
Hearing this, Qin Cailan nodded as if she understood.
Can I look for this little girl when I don't understand what medicinal herbs are or when I need them?
Qin Cailan knew that Xiao Lingran and Jiang Ming had a very good relationship, but she didn't expect that this little girl was so knowledgeable.
It seems that I still have a lot to learn.
"I understand, sir!" Qin Cailan nodded heavily.
"Well, go back." Jiang Ming waved his hand.
After saying that, Qin Cailan took Xiao Lingran back to her residence.
Having his own disciples take care of Xiao Lingran will allow him to free up more time, which is a good thing indeed, killing two birds with one stone.
Of course, this is not because of laziness.
"Speaking of which, now that the alchemy industry is in such decline, it is indeed necessary to pay attention to it." Jiang Ming thought to himself.
Back then, when the system hadn’t sent him so many elixirs, the elixirs on the Cang Xuan Continent were stronger than each other.
Seventh- and eighth-grade elixirs are everywhere, and ninth-grade elixirs are not rare.
After all, elixirs are consumables, and even if more are refined, they will still be in short supply.
I didn't expect that in today's Cang Xuan Continent, even a mere fourth-grade elixir would be fought over with bloodshed. It is much more shabby than before.
"Fortunately, the Alchemy Emperor gave me a few books of experience. I think I can pass on the art of alchemy in the future." Jiang Ming thought to himself.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ming collected his thoughts and walked towards his residence.
However, before he reached the door, Jiang Ming turned around.
At this time, a figure came rushing down from the sky on a flying sword, and finally landed steadily in front of Jiang Ming.
The person who came was none other than the elder of Daotian Sect, Xia Zimo.
"Uncle Master! I finally found you."
Xia Zimo breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she found Jiang Ming.
Seeing this, Jiang Ming was a little confused: "What's wrong? Shouldn't you be in Daotian Sect?"
Xia Zimo said, "Recently, there have been many massacres of families in the Northwest Territory. Some survivors said that the perpetrator was a demon with a pair of horns on his head. After hearing this, Senior Lin immediately asked me to come find my uncle, saying that only my uncle could deal with that demon."
A demon with horns on his head? Hearing this description, Jiang Ming couldn't help but frown.
The first person that came to mind was naturally Zhuoli, with whom he had fought before.
After all, with Zhuoli's strength, there is indeed no one in the entire continent who can be his opponent except him.
But Jiang Ming didn't think it was turbid.
As a strong man, he knew that the other party would never speak without thinking. The promise of a strong man could not be changed even if the world was destroyed.
"Could it be..." Jiang Ming had a bad feeling in his heart.
He had clearly smashed the Far North to pieces, could it be that the guy Zhuoli mentioned had come out again? Thinking of this, Jiang Ming said, "Don't worry, just tell me the whole story. Tomorrow is the last day of the martial arts competition, and I will go back with you then."
Xia Zimo nodded: "I will follow the orders of my uncle."
