What Xu Ran described felt like a dream.
When their cultivation had made little progress in the past, they often had these impractical dreams.
If someone else had made them such promises, they would have ignored them entirely. Where in the world would there be such a good thing? More formidable than Canaan Academy's Heavenly Flame Qi Tower and without the need to find ways to complete various missions to earn Fire Energy Points.
In Canaan Academy, even though they were Inner Court Strong Ranking Disciples, they couldn't cultivate in the Heavenly Flame Qi Tower every day.
The Fire Energy system of the Heavenly Flame Qi Tower forced them to spend most of their time figuring out how to earn Fire Energy Points, and the remaining time to stay in the Fire Energy Points.
"You?"
At this moment, Xin Lan was completely shocked by the grand vision Xu Ran had described. If she could also cultivate like that, one year of cultivation would be equivalent to ten years of hard work for her. In such a place, it really proved that one could become stronger just by lying down.
Only then did they understand why Hu Jia and the others could cultivate so quickly; it was simply illogical.
But if everything Xu Ran said was true, then their rapid cultivation made perfect sense. If one were slow to cultivate under such conditions, that would be the true absurdity.
"Roar."
"Sect Leader, sob sob, I'm now a member of the Xu Sect, and hence your person too. Aren't you going to help me in a life-or-death situation? Please take me in as well; I can warm your bed too," pleaded Xin Lan, looking at Xu Ran with hope and boldly speaking out.
Who could have imagined that Xin Lan, the cool and proud genius twin alchemist from the Inner Court, had such a side to her?
Is this still the proud Xin Lan?
Xin Lan had already decided to go for broke.
There was only one chance, and if missed, it was gone for good.
Meeting Xu Ran was undoubtedly the greatest opportunity of her life, and if she couldn't seize it, what future could she possibly hope for?
Of course, most importantly, Xin Lan had always admired Xu Ran.
Before meeting Xu Ran, just hearing the rumors was enough to make Xin Lan worship this god-like alchemist. After meeting Xu Ran and seeing how young he was, her admiration slowly turned into a special kind of affection.
That's why Xin Lan was acting so boldly.
"Oh?" Xu Ran stroked his chin and looked at Xin Lan, who was dressed in an alchemist's long robe.
Xin Lan's alchemy talent was also very strong, and if nurtured properly, she could become a fine alchemist in the future.
Most importantly, with the Xu Sect expanding, Xu Ran, though he intended to be a hands-off Sect Leader, could still provide some elixirs. Moreover, the auction house needed high-grade elixirs to maintain its competitiveness.
If Xin Lan was cultivated into a genius alchemist, it seems she really could be of help to him.
Once Xin Lan reached the "Cultivation Level" of Douwang, she should be able to produce Fifth-grade Elixirs and possibly even Sixth-grade Elixirs.
However, to refine a Seventh-Grade Elixir, based on Xin Lan's talent, it probably requires a Douzong "Cultivation Level."
"Is it not possible?"
Seeing that Xu Ran did not reply for a long time, a sour feeling surged in Xin Lan's heart. Could it be that she really could not compare to Han Yue? With Han Yue's cheerful personality, she should be more liked by men.
"It is possible. I can also teach you Alchemy, and in the future, you can refine elixirs for the Xu Sect," Xu Ran said.
"What? You are going to teach me Alchemy?" Xin Lan was ecstatic.
Receiving alchemy teachings from Xu Ran was even more thrilling to her than if an Eighth-grade Pharmacist had done so.
"Xin Lan has seen the master." Quickly standing up, Xin Lan immediately knelt down and paid her respects to Xu Ran, fearing he would change his mind.
"I did not say I would take you as a disciple. However, since it has come to this, let it be. I have taken on a disciple before, so now you are my second disciple. From now on, you must cultivate diligently and strive to become a renowned alchemist on the continent as soon as possible." Originally, Xu Ran planned to directly pass on alchemy knowledge to Xin Lan. But to his surprise, Xin Lan was so excited that she paid homage to him as a master.
To him, whether or not to take a disciple was not a big deal, as he was merely passing on backup knowledge to them.
However, if she was his disciple, he would need to pass on all the secret techniques he had kept hidden.
"I already have a senior sister?" Xin Lan was very surprised but found it reasonable. With such advanced alchemy skills from Xu Ran, it would be a pity if there was no successor.
"Mhm. Not only is she your senior sister, but she is also your master's wife," Xu Ran coughed lightly. This relationship seemed somewhat confusing.
"Ah?"
Xin Lan and Han Yue both realized the truth. Based on the information they had previously, Xu Ran seemed to have a very intimate relationship with the women around him. And at that moment, Xin Lan swallowed hard – if the senior sister could have such a relationship, then she might as well...
She didn't believe Xu Ran truly had no feelings for her!
There were so many people around Xu Ran; if she was the only one who had a simple master-disciple relationship with him, wouldn't that mean her charm was terribly lacking? Although she was usually cool and aloof, she was always eager to talk in front of Xu Ran.
"Her name is Xiao Yi Xian, and by now, she should be a Fifth-grade or Sixth-grade Alchemist. Her age should be similar to yours." Xu Ran knew Xiao Yi Xian's "Cultivation Level" was progressing at a rapid pace. The problems of her Calamity Poison Body had long been resolved by him, unlocking its potential to the fullest, which made speedy cultivation a certainty.
The alchemy knowledge that Xu Ran left for Xiao Yi Xian only needed her to reach the right "Cultivation Level" to unlock directly. As soon as her cultivation reached Douwang, Xiao Yi Xian would be able to refine Sixth-Grade Elixirs.
These days, Xu Ran had received news about Xiao Yi Xian; in the Jia Ma Empire, her fame had greatly surpassed that of Dan King Gu He. Although Gu He could also refine Fifth-grade and Sixth-grade elixirs, the potency of Xiao Yi Xian's elixirs was many times stronger than Gu He's.
For the same Fifth-grade Elixir, the ones refined by Xiao Yi Xian could sometimes even fetch the price of a Sixth-Grade Elixir at auction.
In this world, there are still many rich people.
"So impressive," Han Yue and Xin Lan said sincerely. Xin Lan, now a Four-Star Alchemist, was already considered a top genius in Canaan Academy. A Sixth-Grade Alchemist was qualified enough to be an Elder in the Academy.
"Moreover, she has been in touch with Alchemy for less than a year." At that moment, even Xu Ran felt a little carried away. No wonder some people feel lofty when bragging about their children or disciples. If the disciple is exceptional, doesn't it prove their own brilliance?
It could be said that Xu Ran changed Xiao Yi Xian's destiny. In the future, she would undoubtedly become one of the legends in the Alchemist Realm of the Fighting Spirit Continent.
